acting on a ruling by india's supreme court last year that found women should have access to the site the move pits traditionalists against women's rights activists and it is feared that more trouble could flare. under the cover of darkness escorted by police two indian women wearing black enter the shabby mala temple they offer prayers and quickly depart it was more an act of defiance than devotion the women were claiming the right to enter given to them by india's supreme court but so far blocked by protesting hindu traditional lists. of women and shapley malad today isn't a story when for us it's a victory of the movement for quality and women's power because after the verdict of the supreme court some people were still opposing the entry of women today that protest has failed because the women have entered the temple. the sharply mala temple is visited by some fifty million devoted speech here but it bans women aged

ten to fifteen conservative hindus believe women of menstruating age would defile the temple which is devoted to a god believed to be celibate india's prime minister narendra modi has sided with traditionalist who are against the supreme court ruling the heart of his mother. india is of the view that everyone should get their derides in the stomach was a man there are some temples in india which have their own traditions that men should not enter a temple and men do not go there in this shot remodeler a woman judge in the supreme court has made certain observations. the issue has sparked an outcry in india on tuesday over five million women formed a human chain across the state of carroll are making a stand against gender discrimination. you don't mind what we want what. we want and any white and it is nice.

but they face fierce opposition from traditional lists women among them protests are expected to continue as both sides voice their outrage. let's bring indeed abuse nimish while she is following the story for us from delhi hina misha this is such a divisive issue tell us more about some of the reactions that you've seen to the women entering the temple today well some of the moment the news broke that the women may have made history and enter the temple protests broke out across the state of law in the capital city itself clashes broke out between two different political groups than the millions in a bind the sunni in movies political party the party a party court for protests across the state and clashed with the ruling government in that state the left wing the left of communist party of india and castles

of the floyd as well as for chickens who used to break up this process now for the didn't let them put itself the temple was actually shut down for two out of the kitchen for well over an ark and temple authorities called for a strike a two day strike across the state to protest the women entering the temple the mission how did these women actually manage to get in because until now a sunday boaties and traditionalist have blocked access. well the difference between this and three and bost efforts is that it over the last two months since the supreme court ruling women have been trying to enter the temple in broad daylight in of in massive media minutes because this has been the story that's been closely watched in india and in this time thousands of protesters thousands of devoted to you who are dedicated to but them actually broke because women from even starting to treat our trek up to the temple the way these women actually managed to make it is that these sort of the trick at midnight these reached the temple at about three forty five am all for prayer very quickly and left prettiest in the

mission for some of our viewers who are not familiar with this debate explain why this is a so controversial to have women of menstruating age entered this temple well so we do understand this it's important to understand the board that this temple is dedicated to it is the temple of god and his followers consider this to be celibate this means that the men between ten and fifty years of age should not enter the stem but as it would be fighting the temple avenging it impure and disrespecting the god celibacy men in fact have been saying the women what to do what do you all thought i should themselves north want to and of the simple if they are of menstruating age but of course women rights are of runes rights activists as well as of what do you have fought for the strive supreme court have granted it but the pushback from the woodies of not just the physical they have actually challenge the supreme court ruling and the supreme court will be here in the challenge to with on

ruling that of this month. as well tracking the latest developments for us from delhi nimish i thank you very much. now six people have been killed and sixteen injured in a train accident on a bridge between two danish islands authorities say a passenger train has a truck trailer that had fallen off a freight train there were strong winds in the area at the time. the accidental occurred early in the morning on the western side of the bridge it looked like a strong storm had loosened up cargo being transported on a train belonging to the german rail operator dock shabaan debris was then ripped loose and smashed into the oncoming passenger train the police weren't able to give any further details at a press conference they held later because to force high frost on the most important thing for us was to help the passengers and crew on board we asked everyone who was on board the train to contact their next of kin. if someone doesn't have a cell phone so they should ask to use someone else's b.b.q.

if. even in the meantime cell phone footage taken onboard shows some of the damage the police have now confirmed six dead and sixteen injured. at the time of the crash the bridge had been closed to car and truck traffic because of the strong winds it's there for unclear why the freight train from deutsche bahn was allowed on to the crossing considering it was also hauling trucks semi trailers. let's catch have found some other stories making news around the world parts of finland have experienced the strongest winds ever recorded in the country a powerful winter storm swept through from the north authorities have urged people to stay indoors tens of thousands of people have been without power cell phone service and transport have also been disrupted. chinese president xi jinping says it is inevitable that the self-will in island of taiwan will be reunited with china she delivered a marked speech rather marking forty years since the start of improving ties and

call for peaceful reunification but he warned beijing reserved the right to use force if necessary. japan's emperor akihito has extended a year's going for the last time before he abdicates the eighty five year old appeared before tens of thousands of well wishers at the imperial palace in tokyo akihito was occupied the chrysanthemum throne since one thousand nine hundred eighty nine hispanic to advocate in a poll which would make him the first emperor to do so in more than two hundred years. russia is in mourning for twenty one people killed after their apartment building collapsed on new year's eve authorities suspect the building came down because of a gas explosion in the city of magneto course in the ural mountains twenty people are still missing and hopes of finding survivors in subzero temperatures are fading but rescuers spirits were lifted when they pulled a baby boy alive from the wreckage.

it felt like nothing short of a miracle as a baby boy was pulled from the rubble alive thirty five hours after the collapse. oh. rescuers say he survived temperatures of minus eighteen degrees celsius because he was wrapped up warmly in a cradle. the boy was flown to a children's hospital in moscow his condition a serious but stable everywhere moment of hope. today's search crews recovered many dead bodies from the rubble. more than twenty people are still missing. the chelyabinsk region has announced a day of mourning. many have come to the scene to express their grief openly. my colleague from work died here she was only

young she's gone. we were told we have so many of us have lost loved ones we must be strong to. rescue work at the scene continues but given the freezing temperatures and russia's year old mountains region hopes are fading to find those missing still alive. i've been here with business now and it's trying to us most prestigious infrastructure projects road initiative it's worth about a trillion dollars in proposed chinese investment to build roads railways ports and oil pipelines from beijing to berlin and make a project was launched five years ago and it's attracted a best is from all over the world including german companies all eager to get a sizeable piece of the action. the new silk road china's belt and road initiative as

a source of wealth precious gems for pakistan faster processing of shipping containers in europe and cheaper energy in sri lanka everyone should benefit that's the promise delivered by the singers in this choir. chinese president xi jinping has been pushing the new silk road for the past five years more than one hundred projects have been completed along the route including high speed rail ports for container ships and fiber optic connections for faster internet access. german industrial giant siemens sees the new silk road as a major opportunity siemens has recently put up a new office in beijing focused on the new trade groups it's headed by cotton hospice he coordinates major transport projects in more than ten countries.

you have different languages cultures and time zones so finding a common denominator takes some time. the smaller companies can piggyback on a major multinational like siemens says german chamber of commerce representative yet it's hit a bit on and that's because gaining access to the chinese market is challenging due to a lack of transparency. that. there's a lot of uncertainty when it comes to the silk road project to process how to apply where to apply and which ministry is responsible all of that's unclear. and chinese companies are us an advantage they are state owned or receive government supporters see success rests a loss on the new silk road he promotes the project as international summits german companies in china are also interested in the silk road what's unclear is

just how much they'll benefit from this in the end you. talk about this with your correspondent in singapore how is beijing strategy seen in other asian nations. well ben initially these strategies were of course met with a lot of excitement because they presented the future business prospects as well as ease of trade but they're singing a different tune know due to some disillusionment countries like malaysia sri lanka me and ma even pakistan china's long time ally singing criticism of. misconduct as well as suspension of projects among other issues so there's some push back i guess some countries have finally bred small print what about companies that they still get to in bits. all countries in general are now more cautious as

a result of all this pushback on companies likewise are facing the same situation they are shame to see negative sentiment governments are questioning whether the currencies has. seen ability and with a new waddle will take place so until then companies will be remain wary before investing too eagerly into building go initiative projects from the financial terms of both in these contracts and the debts as well some critics say a lot of beijing's built road initiative only exists on paper projects actually happened. well done in the case of of them all these and malaysia they've wrecked up enormous debt as you mentioned just to give you an example malaysia had to favor one hundred forty million dollars bit to china for a hospital project this is a fifty four million dollars bit so all of the reports of these unfavorable incidents are going to tarnish chinese china's reputation if they are not careful

chances are the projects will still go on because the region does desperately need china's eagerness and money and resources but with very stringent checks and processes from here on just like japan and australia are currently practicing in the wake of all these allegations and china in most cases needs their resources thank you andre for us there in singapore what is the coming clothing another troubled italian bank sumi all right thank you ben now at twenty one thousand is off to a rocky start for netflix the streaming china has come under fire for pulling an episode of the popular comedy show patriot act in saudi arabia the reason the saudi crown prince was not amused at a joke about the killing of journalists. wherever social media editor carl naslund with us here in the studio kuhl tell us what happened is this is a comedy show it's hosted by the u.s. comedian. as you know one of his first episodes that focused on saudi arabia in

particular the crown prince mohammed bin some on and is involvement allegedly in a show she's killing we actually have a clip from an episode so you kind of get a sense of what he was a here it is they look. just a few months ago crown prince mohammed bin salon aka m.p.'s was hailed as the reformer of the arab world needed but the revelations about to show his killing have shattered that image in a blows my mind that it took the killing of the washington post journalist for everyone to go on oh i guess he's really not a reformer meanwhile every muslim person you know was like yeah you know. he's the crown prince of saudi arabia. ok apparently the saudis didn't think that was very funny so the country's communications watchdog they basically forced netflix to take that episode down in saudi arabia and when news of that got out people around the world were not happy about it and here's what some people were saying in fact these are some pretty big names the executive director of human rights watch in the

middle east says netflix's claim to supporter cystic freedom means nothing if it bows to demands of government officials who believe in no freedom for their citizens not artistic not political and not comedic even jamal khashoggi is former editor at the washington post speaking out here and she says when she wrote about the need for free expression in the arab world that freedom is not just about journalists it's about freedom for artists comedians cartoonists musicians activists and anyone who wants to express their views on society some though taking kind of a more nuanced view here one person saying look if they want to operate in a country they need to obey by its laws a better position for netflix would be to boycott saudi arabia altogether and that might help increase pressure for reform as for netflix it actually defended its decision in a written statement it said sue me we strongly support artistic freedom worldwide only remove this episode in saudi arabia after we received a valid legal request and to comply with local law ok so netflix in general getting a lot of flack for this but this can't be an isolated and say you know saudi arabia

is really notorious from going after critics yet totally and you know essentially the saudis don't like something they'll censor it right and so overall the state of media freedom in saudi. arabia is really not very good in fact reporters without borders released this study and they write the country one hundred sixty nine out of one down on blasphemy insulting religion inciting chaos in danger and national unity mean that could mean pretty much anything and even defaming the king and maybe that was what flag that episode on the flick starts at twenty one thousand starting at rocky for not netflix but not just netflix right now it's not just netflix i mean the bigger issue here is about media censorship when it comes to these digital companies i mean they're expanding around the world i think that slick is in something like two hundred countries now so they're going to have to start prioritizing profits or freedom of speech and we saw what happened there in saudi arabia the next country potentially is vietnam just yesterday they passed their own version of this online cyber crime bill and what it would do is

criminalize any criticism of the government requires tech companies to hand over use a data and user data that could be important for something like facebook so we could see more off for tarion regimes really cracking down and even censoring content like we saw in saudi arabia and write something to keep an eye on our social media editor karl naslund with us thank you so much karl now for german chancellor angela merkel twenty eighteen was one of the toughest years of her career it took her months to form a new government she faced definition from populist at home and abroad and after taking a blow in the polls she stepped down as chair of her conservative party will twenty nine thousand be any easier here's a look at what's ahead for the tour later. so far i'm going to america as gradual exit from politics appears to be going to plan but remaining chance low over the coming year won't be that easy with a whole list of potential pitfalls. in an eclipse come kavin by our america

got the successor as party leader she wanted a k.-k. as she is known is a much needed ally who will help keep nichols in a party critics say. but the political comeback of merkel's former rival free to fish mats has loosened her hold on the party mats aim to join the magical cabinet has been rebuffed for now but many back his claim to power direct threat to america. europe's crunch time elections in may could also be a turning point for the stability of germany's government. if angela merkel's coalition partner the social democrats take yet another beating at the polls they may see no other way forward than withdrawing from the government that would most likely end i'm going to americans time as chancellor.

those polls are expected to see a further rise of the populist right across europe an angle americal is set to feel those effects back home. here in germany the f.t. publicly closed ranks with the rightwing extremist during street protests in the eastern city of candidates last summer united by a determination to end the magical era the populist movement in germany make gain new momentum. with three eastern states going to the polls this coming autumn the a if t. will have to prove whether it can become the strongest political force in any of these states. if the far right are targeted for germany manages to replicate its general election results from twenty seventeen it could become the strongest political force in saxony defeat for the c.d.u. and yet more state elections would also be seen as

a rebuke for chancellor merkel's leadership. all of those factors will also play a role in the hof time assessment of the coalition partner of america's government the social democrats wrote an exit clause into their coalition deal if they trigger that. could crash out of her last term in office. let's bring in our chief political correspondent melinda crane for more on the story hi melinda so are we going to see uncle america leading germany a year from now. very very difficult to say as you could hear in that report there are a number of different factors that will have an influence on whether she is still at the helm in a year and whether this government is still in power but the fact is there is no majority in germany at this time for a change of leadership one in three germans said in

a recent poll that they would like to see uncle americal step down early but many many authors are satisfied and in fact since she handed over the leadership of her christian democratic party the conservative party to the great kind of common power her successor her own popularity has gone up in the polls and ms com combo is also quite popular among germans as a whole so for the moment at least there isn't any clear current of support for a change in government but as we heard a number of factors could pursue potato change one of the factors that's being seen as a challenge that we also saw in the report is that the rise of the far right in germany what is the government doing to tackle this. well it is very much also an issue of local politics we have three important eastern states where the a.f.d. party the right wing nationalist party is strong that will all be holding the state elections next year and many of the issues with which voters are

dissatisfied are many of the issues that will be important in those states are local issues and so one of the big points that was made at the christian democratic party conference in december when they chose the new leader of the party is that it will be very important for the local chapters to tackle the issues that worry people those are issues like security the sense that the streets of many german cities are not adequately safe also issues that include migration but simple bread and butter issues as well like jobs and pensions all of those are very very important to voters in the east so certainly look to see both local and national parties focusing on those and then beyond that there will also i think definitely in the run up to the e.u. elections and also throughout this year there will be

a push to stop misuse of social media including by outside forces whether it's chat bots or other forms of intervention by countries that perhaps or powers that hope to to profit from instability both in germany and in the e.u. as a whole so we've seen national legislation passed here in germany we're likely to see action in brussels that well with an aim to undermining at least that form the support for the right animal and on the international stage what it's facing angle of acol there. well germany now is has a seat in the u.n. security council and much of uncle america's new year's address focused on foreign policy issues with a very very clear call from her for multilateral solutions to complex problems and also for germany to take more responsibility as she put it now that would include also higher defense spending something that the u.s.

president has been pushing hard for that certainly will also create some tensions within the government with the junior coalition partner but expect to see some movement on that issue as well all right our chief political correspondent melinda crane covering the story for us melinda thank you very much. you're watching d.w. news still to come on the program is saving lives of crime syrian refugees pardine how to rescue migrants at each but greek authorities have charged her with people smuggling. look at some of the year's most eagerly awaited movie blockbusters including director tim burton updated take on both of a classic walt disney animation. shtick those stories and much more coming up in two minutes time stay with us here and happy.

a crime that is something aid worker sorry martini is asking herself as she faces people smuggling charges in greece herself a refugee martini was praised back in two thousand and fifteen for helping to save migrants from drowning at sea but this summer greek authorities arrested her for allegedly assisting migrant smuggling after three months in detention martini is now out. on bail and back in germany where she studies but she is still facing the prospect of many years find. saddam or dina is relieved to be back with her college classmates in berlin the syrian refugee an activist was released on bail after spending more than three months in a greek prison. so i was returning from last bus in august when police arrested her on the phone she had spent the summer volunteering on the greek island with the pro refugee organization because of her work helping migrants authorities charged her with people smuggling money laundering and espionage she now faces

a prison sentence of up to twenty five years i never hooked. and inside of than that because i want to help people and that's government evasion . her arrest wasn't the first time that sarah made headlines she cut the world's attention in twenty fifteen but for very different reasons. she and her sister yourself were making the paralyse crossing from turkey to last bus when their dinghy began to take on water and sink being experienced swimmers they jumped overboard and pulled the waterlogged boat to shore by doing so they saved the lives of the eighteen people on board. they began a new life in germany. just a became a goodwill ambassador for the united nations and was on the refugee team of the twenty sixteen rio olympics. site i want to scholarship to study social sciences in berlin but kept on returning to last us to help others. i

believe when you feel something just go for it so i filled a place that i learned and i wanted to be on this ground again following sars arrest her college classmates campaigned for her release organizing protests in berlin boston athens and other cities her defense team is calling for greater protection for humanitarian workers are you going to do this you know we're going to go overseas right now because they recognize that a hospital is the good if you will for financial benefit. we've got to be. required in order to do you know the to establish the crime of my gun smuggling you cannot have smugglers without benefits and this is obviously you have to exclude from song shows. and organization of law provides you want. until such safeguards are in place greek authorities can claim that site i

was helping migrants enter the country illegally she's currently waiting for her case to go to trial she hopes it won't go that far but is determined to prove her innocence and that saving lives is not a crime. let's get more on the story with condi a google she is a researcher on greece for amnesty international can delia thank you for joining us i understand that you know sarah martini personally what can you tell us about the work that she's been doing there in greece and how that's been affected by these charges. i have met sorrow once while we were hopping in the counteractive sing greece in the summer of two thousand and two thousand and seventeen determination to hold people has left an imprint on me. starched me immensely because it was one of these individuals that inspire you because they expire the challenges that you faced crossing the aegean risking their life and

seeking safety has returned to the same island to help other people we have been deeply concerned that the humanitarians including santa and other people whom we are see i have been charged and faced this baseless charges that reschooling them jail for twenty five whole years these people smartlink this and speer now as we have studied the file on the case very slowly and come spoken to the lawyers and the family to your sorrow and shan't be there and we believe that they are completely baseless the construct helping refugees as a crime and that sense as cheating effect to their humanity the audience obviously dying to go and save lives. and i want to ask you about those charges because according to our report as we just saw you don't have to establish financial benefit as as a requirement to prove migrants smuggling so according to greek authorities sars

work can be considered smuggling can you understand that perspective according to the laws that exist. i can increase this is and according to called the construct that there's no evidence whatsoever to prove that they have benefited they have constructed there's a way but there's nothing there to do use against them why do you think that is what needs to be changed or why do you think that the authorities are seeking this angle. i think the authorities know and this is not the first time that they are accusing other humanitarian people smuggling this is last year last year we have the same issue with the three spanish fire fighters from crime aid and two other suppression yours from and humanity and they have you known what you've been acquitted last summer so this is not this is a part there and not just from greece but other e.u. countries where they criminalize censor wrenched you or they did terry do so are such effect that it stops. they stop people who conduct interest you such as

a stop operations completely and the result is more deaths in either the mediterranean or the engine it can delay just briefly if you can your work focuses on race itself there isn't much media coverage of migrants and greek these days in greece these days what is the situation like for them right now. this issue ation is quite dire on the greek island despite some measures to move people out of the area and we still have on the island something as opposed to our vision of thousands of people staying in the morea come where conditions are really really degrading and we have moved around six times more in the sun was hundreds of witches and forgotten crisis it's meant to keep six hundred eighty four people and there are three thousand five hundred people at the moment living there including very vulnerable individuals and the other for the sake of implementing the you care to do. all right with india would think you can not risk all right you fortunate we

have to leave it there can google from amnesty international thank you so much for joining us on our program. thank you now brazil's new president char balsa now has taken office in his first public speech at the helm of latin america's biggest nation a former army captain declared a crusade against crime corruption and left wing ideology many brazilians see him as a kind of messiah and a supporters hope he can revive the economy and bring safety to the streets but others worry that his hardline policies could lead to an erosion of fundamental rights. was brazil's new far right president now officially in office. is vowing big changes in ways that have already polarized the country. see the kid if. i expect that he'll make brazil better and safer i wouldn't i'm so need i'm black and gay possum are says were useless he does

not represent me it isn't. tens of thousands cheered balsa naro in the capital brasilia. was. oh yes oh yes. after being sworn in he set the tone for his term as president. near to zero who will do that today is the day our people will begin to free themselves from socialism was sitting there for us. to free themselves from false values from overreach by the state and from political correctness to court have. also nora's cabinet is mostly white and male with only two women seven of its twenty two members are ex-military their agenda is staunchly conservative the foreign minister wants to break with alleged cultural marxism many back the incoming finance ministers pray for the market stance and his

promises to privatized many industries foreign companies operating in brazil have also voiced support for his plans. but also in our also has his critics and amongst the toughest of them is left wing congressman john willis he's openly gay and says he's receiving more and more death threats. only because a ball he ever said and will really do is hunt minorities i consider him a political fraudster and a threat to the world with me. on twitter or has already announced plans to liberalize gun laws part of the efforts he's making to show his supporters he won't delay implementing his campaign pledges. we will make sure that proper citizens have the right to own weapons and to defend their property for the fields of. sonora is the face of brazil's political shift to the right many appending their hopes on him while others fear he threatens democracy. let's bring in journalist

sam cowie he's been following the story for us from south paulo sam good to have you with us so jarba also now has now taken office what are his first steps and one of the challenges that he's facing. well he faces many challenges of course because despite being a popular president he's also a divisive president so he will face challenges particularly in congress which is very fractured. way will also face fierce opposition. first of all we've seen mr bowles on our has in fact given responsibility demarcation of indigenous lands he has given that now to the agriculture ministry which some critics say is a little bit. proceeding the fox is in charge of the hanes house so that's one of the things that happened straight away and that was

something that he's allies in the agricultural. cool because we're very keen to happen it seems that he will move to loosen gun ownership a citizen that was on a bleak place you know the big pledge of his campaign the most important thing that he does that most people agree on the left and on the right is some kind of pension reform. that seems that he will be the most difficult because nobody wants to retire in brazil so that's going to require the police who perhaps was get that one through this and just very briefly if you if you can among those opponents how concerned are they that this shift to the right will actually threaten the country's democracy. get that say and overrule opinion all from his opponents that if you have somebody with these very hard liable thoughts area it starts even if you know people want less corruption people want less

violence on the streets but if you will remedies to that very hard line policies then inevitably is collateral damage and the most of all rosy aims fine with that and many of the supporters do. journalist sam cali coming to story for us from south palo thank you so much thanks very much. the president of world football's governing body is considering expanding the twenty twenty two world cup to forty eight teams at a sports conference in dubai gianni infantino announced that he has commissioned a study into the feasibility of such a tournaments he stated that if follows through with the idea neighboring gulf states could help qatar and hosting some of the matches already voted to increase the size of the twenty twenty six world cup from thirty two to forty eight teams but the expansion may now come sooner than expected. the january transfer window is open and won but to say the club has already cashed in dortmund sold american

taking control of an italian bank should we be worried. ben that appends on who you'd be worried about the bank certainly isn't a pretty bad situation but if you're worried about the italian banking sector now this move is actually rather positive i'd be more worried if these would be didn't step in european central bank has taken over the role of super supervision of european banks and it's now doing exactly that stepping in after a management majority of the board stepped out this morning now the european central bank make sure the bank continues to stay operational and find the path to a solution whether it be selling the bank or liquidating it what about the best is that they worried about the situation. well this is the first time the e.c.b. does this it's kind of an extraordinary move really and. it has investors a little concerned but shares of the bank are falling about ninety percent in the
