telling the pollsters that they feel how they feel at the start of the news here pretty good it turns out although they are a bit worried about data scandals we'll have all the details. plus tennis champion andy murray busy tearful farewell after a year of struggling with his problems he hopes to compete in one last wimbledon but admits that he may not make it beyond next week's australian open. plain. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us. a court in myanmar has rejected an appeal by two journalists serving seven year prison terms authorities arrested while lone and quasi to a year ago after the pair investigated the massacre of ten rohingya boys and men

during a brutal crackdown by myanmar's army now the journalist lawyers argued that they had been caught in a police sting not giving up while lone and quasi his wives came out of the courthouse defiant. we still believe in their release today. we will consult with our lawyer for what to do next. it's just the latest setback for the two journalists they were jailed in december twenty seventeen for violating the official secrets act but human rights activists say they were being punished for reporting on a massacre in iraqi and state both insisted they had followed international norms in reporting on the killing of ten row hinge of men and boys. we worked according to media ethics we tried to tell the truth based on the real situation. we were arrested unfairly and barred from revealing true information.

the government later admitted their reporting was accurate but the court refused to revoke their sentence saying lawyers had not presented evidence of the reporters in essence but the case isn't over. if there is a potential appeal that's available but the government importantly the government of myanmar has the has the power to stop this injustice right to do the right thing here the only thing that the it should do and to free them. and we want we want to see that happen we want to continue to work for their release because until they're free myanmar's commitment to a free press and to the rule of law remains in question journalism is not a crime but wallow in quasi who are living reminders of how dangerous it can be to report the facts on the line now from is journalist dave. thank you so much for joining us dave the reuters correspondents they were arrested while reporting on the ethnic cleansing in neon more you have been covering the story how difficult is

it today to work in myanmar and get an accurate account of the situation for the raw into. so the area where this counterinsurgency campaign has been going on by the military which is a northern or kind state that's basically closed off you only get to go in there if you're on a government supervised trip so then you're only seeing what they let you see you have access to that they give you access to the eggs they've made that a very highly restricted area. as far as reporting here certainly for the local press and you talk about the local media that's based here or the myanmar press i mean they will tell you that it made this case has just put a chill over all of that because what these reporters did was to warders journalist it was an incredible groundbreaking investigation that had been documented through the murder of and of growth in demand by the security forces were joined by some civilians even the military admitted that this is what happened it was an

incredible investigation and now they were essentially entrapped they were entrapped and set up and then placed in jail and sentenced to seven years so this is basically a warning from the military to the journalists here that if you cross certain lines you could be next so that has put a chilling effect on the local press the stars the international press but your media. certainly is everyone is getting trying to do their best there is some very aggressive reporting going on by the foreign press and they brought out a lot of great stories but still not having complete access makes it right or to get to all that i mean so how does all this make you feel because we understand that you have been working there as a journalist in myanmar for many years now what's your reaction to this verdict are you worried for your own safety. i mean i don't sit here worrying at night that i'm going to get arrested. i think it's you know you can't rule anything out but i

think it's different you know i have a u.s. passport and it's certainly different than say for a me m.r. citizen who although there are many international diplomats and ambassadors here that are lobbying on the behalf the fact is they do not directly represent these myanmar nationals and i think for me i'm our national it's a different story than for a foreign reporter i can tell you as someone who's been here for the better part of of five almost six years. during that time this is the worst case for press freedom that i've seen and we know that in this case in particular that the the sentencing has been condemned by organizations by governments around the world so you're not alone in sharing those thoughts. journalist working there in the arm are we thank you so much for joining us this afternoon to share your reaction. now to russia where government critics are taking off the fight for freedom of expression reporters without borders has ranked russia one hundred and forty eighth out of one

hundred eighty countries for the state of press freedom the organization says that independent media have been stifled as the kremlin has taken over control of news outlets no biogas that is one of the country's last independent news outlets for its employees harassment and death threats are part of everyday life we visited their office to witness their fight to report freely. she in press vests outside the offices of novaya gazeta in moscow the display might look cute but it's no petting zoo instead it's part of the latest scare campaign against the opposition newspaper just a few days before the journalists received a severed sheep's head and a funeral wreath addressed to the editor in chief and to journalist denise caught up quote. has worked for no via from st petersburg since september even in this cafe in the center of the city he worries about surveillance on the internet he's been accused of being a traitor the wave of online hate is connected to his investigation into the

dealings of putin's cohort. he's allegedly behind the so-called troll factory which pays people to promote the kremlin's interests online and behind a controversial russian mercenary. my address is on the internet it's information about my relatives. members of my family. and they openly discuss online about what to do to me before. i say that i find that pleasant and enjoyable of course i don't. feel a certain satisfaction because these threats mean that i wrote the right thing yes . kind of colleagues in moscow at their daily planning conference the newspaper is one of the last truly critical media outlets in russia for over twenty five years. has been highly regarded for its investigative articles into corruption and human rights abuses for years now the journalists here have felt the

restrictions on press freedom in the country tighten six of the papers journalists have paid for their reporting with their lives including on the. she was murdered in two thousand and six when he was known for her critical reporting about the conflict in chechnya an element of fear has become part of everyday life. newspaper has lost as many journalists as if we were reporting during war time. when they're even though russia is not at war. it's like working in a minefield. if you had to choose whether they should send to sheepshead or come without warning and murder someone and i'd rather have a severed sheep's head every single day go over. the head of the russian journalists union on the other hand says the bigger picture when it comes to press

freedom in russia is positive. you know i think in russia both are journalists and the government is still learning how to communicate with each other. and even though there are problems there is overreach there are violations that verge on censorship nevertheless the situation overall is improving and internationally speaking the situation in russia is decent to go to war. but to denise caught up cough his work certainly feels dangerous he sees the risk as a given a normal part of his investigative reporting that he's willing to accept though it has meant that even his daughter has been threatened. i'm interested in covering stories that you can see with the naked eye. with things that aren't going to the surface. dealings that are secret are usually criminal dealings. of course when you do this work you can take on airs of nothing can stop me but of course i have

my limits and god forbid if my opponents are sent out with those limits are. released to the gulf won't say what story he's currently working on for no via guy but he's sure of one thing he'll have to be ready to face more threats. analysis get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world the runner up and congo's presidential election claims that he won by a landslide and says that he will file a court challenge. said that he took more than sixty percent of the both compared to just nineteen percent for the official winner of the disputed results have sparked unrest with as many as five deaths before that so far. the u.s. led coalition against the so-called islamic state has started the process of withdrawing from syria a spokesman for the u.s. military confirms the move but would not discuss specific timelines locations or troop movements out of concern for operational security president. trump announced

the planned withdrawal last month. i draw mania has taken over the rotating e.u. president left leaning government to scrap controversial traditional reforms or get it which brussels says undermines the battle against graft. german chancellor angela merkel has said that germany recognizes its historical responsibility for crimes committed by the nazis in greece merkel made the remarks during a meeting with the great president on the second day of her trip to affan gray says that it has grounds to pursue a legal claim for two hundred eighty nine billion euros in reparations for the nazi occupation of the country in world war two. the greek president procopius pablo gave the german chancellor an exceptionally warm welcome after years of frosty relations between the two countries uncle americal appeared to appreciate the friendly reception but tensions linger greece is still pursuing its demand for

war reparations public said his country had not forgotten its call for germany to pay compensation for the nazi occupation during world war two. greece estimates it's suffered hundreds of billions of euros worth of damage berlin's position is clear the matter was settled in one thousand nine hundred sixty in a deal with several european governments. all i know you can be certain that we recognize our historical responsibility we also know how much suffering we as germany during the nazi era brought to greece that's why it's our duty to do everything we can to maintain good relations with greece and to lend each other mutual support for the benefit of both greece and germany. so who are the condition of. this was chancellor merkel's first visit to greece since two thousand and fourteen back then germany pushed for austerity which led to frequent protests and resistance this conflict has not been forgotten but the mood between the two

countries has improved noticeably following the visit is due to political editor mahela cofer who is joining us from athens so let's pick up on this mahela because the world war two reparations they have been a contentious issue for some time remind us of the sticking points and how far apart both sides are right now. well this was a very closely watched moment because the greek president of the openness was expected to raise that very issue and his point was that there were as far as greece is concerned legal questions open and he was basically the expectation that this would be resolved also to the legal expectations here in greece now as far as germany's position is concerned that has been all along that this issue was resolved in the two plus four basically which was the foundation that allowed for

german reunification which was basically a contract between all parties involved in the second world war and so that's the legality of it i'm going back over. to that although there was some delay because he went into other issues before that saying that the lesson from this was that he would work hard on german and greek relations so whereas the greek debate here focuses on the outcome of an expert group that has come up with a figure of two hundred eighty nine billion euros germany's position remains the same that that is essentially as far as the legality is concerned what the public debate say is of course something very different and just briefly mikhail you mentioned that relationship between the two countries how is it today. well it's a lot better than it used to be greece has come out of the depths of its own crisis can now raise money on financial markets once again this was

a visit here destined to celebrate that at the same time i'm going to point out that this was a road of reform that heads although she's very cautious of appearing to make any kind of policy recommendations here in greece because of that history of the greek financial crisis. chief political editor and i thank you. austria and southern germany are struggling to cope with their heaviest snow falls in two decades at least seventeen people have died in alpine regions in the past week and some communities in bavaria have declared a state of emergency authorities are warning that the risk of avalanches in the mountains is extremely high and forecasters are warning of more snow on the way. you might get a lot of people it's become a military operation german soldiers called in to help back to scotland where a state of emergency has been declared the bavarian town hasn't seen snow like this

for years and the dangers are all too real. we have many requests to help clear the roofs of buildings in the town of but if i can help thirteen years ago fifteen people died many of them children when a roof collapsed it's important to keep a close eye on the roofs and secure any that pose a danger. heavy snow fall has completely caught off the southern german town of yacking now it may look like a perfect picture postcard but there are increasing concerns that food supplies are running low. in switzerland guess we're lucky to survive an avalanche that came crashing through their hotel photos on social media show the devastation as the three hundred meter avalanche swept into the building at this funk out mountain pass injuring three people. in the mountains around innsbrook in austria they too are on avalanche standby there are concerns that if the weather improves

people may take unnecessary risks. yes i for people who still does not feel the fear is that people will say well there is a lot of snow the weather is better. and our experience from the last thirty years has shown that the first day of improved weather is really dangerous it's when most avalanche accidents happen. to most of you for. more than four metres of snow has already fallen in this region for those living here the hard what looked set to last some time yet. and i'm in s.f. is covering this story for us from the austrian town of out to zain which is struggling with extreme snowfall well it's not again last night and i wouldn't be exaggerating if i said that this city this town is completely buried when you go through the streets or give the impression of walking through a tunnel i mean the walls of snow are literally twice as tall as i am. the

headline this morning in the local newspaper was hope and trepidation hope would probably describe this side of the village i mean i'll say which has had some of the heaviest snowfall but the villagers are really dealing with it the bakeries open the hotels open people are walking through the streets there's not snow plows they don't have snow plows here actually they have they have shovels steam shovels going through the streets literally carrying the snow because there's nowhere to put it they have to put it in giant piles down the street now trepidation would describe the other side of this village about a kilometer down the street there they have been evacuated it's completely closed off no one's allowed to go there and that's because of the danger of avalanches austrian authorities have history highest avalanche warning for that area even the mayor had to evacuate his house i don't know if you can hear but there's a helicopter flying overhead and where those helicopters are doing are checking in situation to see if an avalanche is about to to go down and so people had to get

out of that area. for one now it is a new year but has it brought any changes to the political preferences of the german public the latest in for testy maps are made by german public broadcaster a r d has the answers let's take a look at the numbers now twenty nine thousand biggest political scandal so far has been the data breach that lead to politicians personal information on social media pollsters asked the public the following question how worried are you about internet data leaks here's what the survey found a majority sixty one percent were very worried or quite worried thirty nine percent are a little worried or not worried at all. let's get more on this now we are joined by reinhard think art who is coming to us from bonnie is the director of the in for testing map polling institute welcome to the program again to what extent is this is this a generational phenomenon would you say i mean is this just order germans who are

worried about data security yeah when you look at if you don't find any difference between younger people younger age groups and older age groups lower education i educated everybody of those who say i'm afraid that people will use my personal data the percentages all the same in all age of the education groups let's have another a look now at another aspect of this because the survey it also asked whether digitalisation offers more opportunity or more risk and it turns out that the twenty five percent of germans said that they see more opportunity roughly half of all the voters fifty three percent think that digitalization offers as many opportunities as risk seventeen percent we see here think that these new technologies that they bring more risks i mean given that out i mean germany has really been criticized recently for being slow on the uptake when it comes to do technology to what extent do these numbers confirm the skepticism which you say.

well you never know if it's really skeptics isn't the question is how is to get there is asian. research received by the population is a chaunce threat for many people it's a threat because you say they may lose their jobs. to parties mole working for the laborers who have more followers there they have a lower. ex figure of those who accept to give to get it is a sham say it's a good thing it's about twenty percent but when it comes to the to the party the liberal party which is pretty close to it is very good very nice to two to recreate economics and companies there is about more than one half of the voters of the labor party they say dignitaries asian is a good thing so it's been i wouldn't say the germans are afraid they don't like technology it's about how things should be really carried out ok so it's

a matter of how you look at it when we speak overall though about germans they are astonishingly enthusiastic on a positive front regarding their own life asked how they see their personal economic situation they responded the following year an overwhelming seventy eight percent said very good or good only twenty two percent consider their personal i think on a situation less good or bad so some interesting findings here i mean there can't be that many countries with such an economically content public kenmare or are germans perhaps even too optimistic what's your game which. well it's very interesting i mean when you look at the figures since not twenty thirteen we have about seventy eighty percent people say my own my own financial situation is good and that allows people when it comes to voting to vote in protest because

we don't have five million unemployed people we don't people don't look at the moment at the qualities of the party asking themselves which party brings shop jobs which party brings wellbeing to us because the big majority is doing fine like nearly eighty percent and i don't think these optimistic because when it comes to the question when we asked them what do you think about the economic and situation itself in germany we as well have been ok of more than eighty percent i don't think it's up to mystic that's what people feel. ok i want to get some of that pessimism back though here because although three quarters of the germans they say that they're satisfied with the economy a majority is still worried about the future. when they were given the following statement they said the following the statement was germany is changing more than i like and fifty one percent agreed only forty six percent disagree with that statement actually not a very big differential there. so you know given that what is do you think that

that makes the majority of germans think that their country is changing too much and too fast yeah if you have such a real good feeling about your own personal feeling about your own situation you don't want any threats to it here won't that be fun living is going on. if you look at it that if you look at the distribution when it comes to parties you see that eighty six percent of the right wing if tea party they are the people who are most afraid of changes in germany most afraid. in questions concerning the immigration to germany when it comes to the question if people are afraid that the islam would have to speak. to gain more effects in germany it's also hof of the population as it's i'm afraid they're not in other surveys you find out three quarters of the population in germany say in principle is that religion like every any other

religion but when it comes to the discussion is going to take part in sports physical education or if the food program in school is school restrooms should be changed because you have muslim. students at school then it comes to a german say ok this is the kind of difference we don't want and that makes people look at these as we find in this survey and it's quite interesting because you know those themes that you've highlighted there we've seen a lot of them interjected into the. political discourse but surprisingly it's had no or very little effect on germany's overall political preferences because you know if elections were held across germany this weekend the survey shows the following this is how things withstand chancellor angela merkel's conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. bloc would lose one point at twenty nine percent the greens remain unchanged at twenty percent the social democrats the junior party in the coalition they're up one point at fifteen percent the far right a.f.d.

unchanged fourteen percent the business friendly f.t.p. is on nine percent one point up so is the far left party. so pretty interesting here i mean you know this is a new year it doesn't see too many changes on the political front what do you see as the big political events in twenty one thousand that could really potentially shake up this picture of what should be looked ahead to. well we have the european election the end of may but we have a lot of local elections and in september we have three straight elections in the sense sates of germany so it's interesting to see if the green party which is high flying at the moment from say very case if the c.d.u. would stay in the majority in most of the states at the moment we did see it's an interesting year to come right hardlink art joining us from bonn director of the in for tests and gene map polling institute with the gauge of the mood in the country

a bangkok airport hotel room muhammad said that she was fleeing her abusive family but she was stopped in thailand and threatened with deportation several countries are now in talks with the un's human rights agency to accept her as an asylum seeker the case has reignited a debate on male guardianship in saudi arabia. frederica baggio from d.w. social media is here to tell us more so this debate is really playing out on social media. what are you seeing when you're monitoring so we're seeing that after a half of dramatic escape attempt many saudi women are taking to twitter to speak out against a system in which they need permission for so many things like getting married like opening up an account a bank account saying a passports traveling even to be freed from prison they need permission from a male and we're seeing that there are several hashtags that are trending in saudi

arabia the main one translates to male guardianship and a travel ban on saudi women and this is one of those comments we have seen from mine who says it's embarrassing that i'm thirty six mom of two an emergency room doctor harvard grad and still viewed as a minor i am trusted to make life and death decisions for patients trusted to raise kids but not trusted to make my own decisions regarding my life another woman here saying a great company offers me a great job i couldn't take it because it's outside the country i couldn't travel because i'm a girl and here another one stop treating us as minors it's our choice our decision we can handle the consequences and do it for a division for the sake of a new modern saudi arabia and we see that many are tweeting in english often they're not they're protecting their identities and they're really taking a strong stance here what about people defending the system though frederica well i mean there is still there are still some people in saudi arabia who do think that

the world is not a friendly place for women they think that they need to be protected protected through guardianship but we have an example here and man who has also expressed this idea on twitter saying you tried to get a saudi woman out of her home dignity and her honor to be an easy target for the filth of society is that violate freedom of people under the banner of freedom. saudi women will remain a formidable fortress against the falls slogans all over the world and of course a lot of people are still thinking like that's we have to say under crowd prince mohammed a man sorry some freedoms have been granted to saudi women he ended the ban on women driving for example he eased some restrictions on gender mixing for example allowing women to serve in the army but those changes have also been accompanied by a crackdown on dissent and we know that some women rights activists have been jailed so saudi arabia still remains that one of the world's most gender segregated

nations and that's what women there are now sending up again. from our social media team thank you so much for joining us here on the set to tell us a little bit more about this. one now there is another headache for huawei and physical and has that story and more. i think. beijing says it's disturbed by news of the latest arrest of a senior executive at take john while away is time on spying charges in poland authorities there raided the telecommunications giants offices they also took the polish cyber security expert and former domestic intelligence officer into comes to be why it was founded by former chinese army officer a western intelligence agencies all the chinese government could use its products to collect data so countries have bad whiled away from supplying a weapon for their five g. wireless networks. japanese prosecutors have filed two new charges against former

miss on chairman carlos ghosn now accusing him of aggravated breach of trust going was the architect of his son's alliance with renault and many see him as the glue holding it together the french comic says it has no way of it and so fraud on the part of go. when this footage was taken back in may two thousand and sixteen carlos ghosn was allegedly already a big time fraudster or so his accusers say. then in november last year the bubble burst and was arrested in tokyo the sixty four year old was charged with repeatedly under reporting his pay to shareholders and embezzling company money but goans says he's innocent. carlos ghosn was famous for his luxury as a lifestyle including many villas around the world and fancy family holidays a glitzy executive with three passports born in brazil the son of lebanese parents became one of the most successful c.e.o.'s not only in his adopted home of france

but across the world. in the mid one nine hundred ninety s. gone took over at the helm of embattled french comic. and oversaw a restructuring program that transformed the company's fortunes. he then forged and the alliance between i know this and mitsubishi which helped make a turnaround the scandal has shaken the international auto world in particular there are tensions in the french japanese alliance after his arrest go in was discharged from both nissen and mitsubishi he remains c.e.o. . is president of the news agency in tokyo what chances of getting bail his legal team has filed for bail at least. oh well yes they have filed for bail historically speaking his chances are very

very slim. the generally speaking in the japanese system if prosecutors ask a judge for something a judge almost automatically gives it and in this case the prosecutors are making it clear they want to hold him as long as possible and so he can apply for bail but he probably won't get it but there might be a surprise this is an unusual case so to new charges but is it any clearer of what he's supposed to have done wrong. the charges of what he's supposed to have done wrong are very strange in a sense that they don't seem so serious that would merit this very heavy handed treatment of him so for example in the case of his not reporting his pay or fraudulent on that on that issue basically that all revolves around money which go

and had been planning to get paid after he retired so it isn't about money that he actually received it was about future money that he might receive and the argument from the prosecutors is that he was guaranteed the money that it was arranged and goans defense is no i mean it was he didn't have the money and it could have not been confirmed at a later stage and so because he didn't talk about to the the stock market this payment they're saying this was fraud and it's a very strange sort of case it all sounds very hypothetical but his lawyers reckon it could be half a year before this case goes to trial. that's right and i believe that it could be half a year before we ever see going publicly again because the prosecutors often will will make the case to the court so you would usually say he hasn't confessed he's maintaining his innocence and let him go he could flee the country or tamper with evidence so you know we may not see mr cohen again for

a long time and all of this about a man who is completely maintaining his innocence and with the evidence against him looking fairly flimsy at least from the outside but it sure does look like we'll be reporting on this for some time michael paid for all of these gets news agency in tokyo thank you very much for joining us again. and now we're talking about tennis star andy murray who has just announced that he will retire this year telling an emotional news conference that he may even quit after the upcoming australian open murray roger federer buffy on the dollar novak djokovic have dominated the men's game in recent years winning the lion's share of major titles and earning the name the big four but the quartet could become a trio in just a couple of weeks ahead of this year's first grand slam of the season andy murray ranks two hundred thirtieth addressed his lack of performance and dealing with

chronic pain. i can still play to their level. be playing. but also. you know it's not just the pain it is the. nose is just too much really. having secured the u.s. open title in two thousand and twelve marie became the first british man says nineteen thirty six to win wimbledon a year later bringing tennis fever back to the u.k. but it was in two thousand and sixteen when marie really shone he retained his olympic title in rio just weeks after winning wimbledon again. he then triumphed in the a.t.p. world tour finals the scot ascended to the world number one spot five in two thousand and seventeen murray in judy's hip and was forced to cut the season short missing the u.s. open in early two thousand and eighteen he announced he going to go on surgery

maurice keep the a stallion open french open and wimbledon the thirty one year old initially planned to quit after this july's wimbledon but safely he now feels melbourne might be his final event. saying i think news because there's a chance for sure. there's a chance of that for sure because. like i said i'm not i'm not sure. i'm not sure i'm able to. fly through the pain you know for another. four or five months with murray set to leave the caught men's tennis will have to do without one of its cornerstones. now to the united states where authorities have requested a d.n.a. sample from football star christiane over naldo as part of an ongoing rape investigation involving the superstar were naldo is being sued for allegedly raping

katherine maior guy in las vegas in two thousand and nine she has filed a lawsuit seeking to avoid a non-disclosure agreement that she says she was pressured into signing were naldo has always maintained the encounter was consensual. thomas miller has been suspended by you a for both legs of the club's champions league knockout tie against liverpool the twenty nine year old striker is serving punishment for a red card that he received vs i.x. he was sent off after unintentionally kicking and i.x. player in the head while challenging for the ball it's the first time that there has been shown a straight red car in his careered red card byron says that they plan to appeal the decision. you're looking at pictures from the film from your last night held here in berlin

of a new documentary co-produced by t w it's called a lot on my astra it's about the mexican conductor a long joke that potter is considered one of the most who is excuse me considered one of the most exciting conductors around today. very own robin meryl is here in the studio to tell us a little bit more about this how good is she she's very she's very good i mean. you have to remember she have to find a position you know a very male dominated world of conduct. first of all and. although we're living in a world striving for gender equality in particular profession there's not many. female conductor still and she's extremely young for a conductor i mean she's thirty eight years old i mean conductors you know they tend to sort of reach the heights when they're getting quite old to be honest

anyway my impression is she is a great mixture of a latin type temperament she's mexican and she's a great stickler when you see are in the house which is a great stickler for rhythm all the time but she was trained in the u.s. britain and she works a great deal here in germany and around europe so she has the sort of european classical tradition in her as well so it's a great combination anyway let's see some more from this documentary directed by our very own christian bagge it's called love my estrella. develop our. laundered apparel belong to the international conducting of the she has worked with one hundred orchestras around the world the realisation of an impossible dream i remember when i was thirteen fourteen that i already wanted to be a conductor that i thought wow we're going to be given the i don't look anything
