this is the deal being news coming to you live from berlin germany's chancellor angela merkel of course for the reform of global institutions speaking at the world economic forum in davos machall said reform would help counter what she called the fragmentation of the multi trueblood live to down for some reaction also coming up . to have serious our group could look to settle the country's russian president

the multilateral world is to be avoided she said those institutions such as the world bank and the international monetary fund must be ready to compromise but they should not be downgraded let's hear some of what she said. based. on what you go around seventy five seventy four years ago that if your mind is the age that the average person lives so after the horrors of her second world war the people who work and power at the people who are oppressed sponsibility had certain insights and they knew what they were doing so we shouldn't the states cost them their decisions aside and the system and they set up and treated lightly because they did so against the wealth of experience. that was the german chancellor angela merkel speaking just a short while ago at the world economic forum summit in the swiss

a result of adar was listening to her in the studio with me i have a chief political correspondent melinda crane and in davos we have our correspondent there a duma lawn welcome janelle i don't know what do you got to speak to some of the delegates who listen to what america has to say but do you think they got what they expected from chancellor merkel. indeed i have to tell you i'm retired this was one of the most anticipated events here at the forum the crossing the congress hall where she was speaking it was packed to the rafters all the world's media were there and the speech that she gave and this is the impression that i got while gathering the reactions of course was that it was the kind of speech that was designed to cater to every expectation in that speech of course that's like she touched on a raft of topics the overarching theme of course being the defense of the multilateral order but she touched on so many topics along the way including europe including

digitization including sarah taxation and that's the sort of that's the sort of thing that makes all the that makes delegates here think that it's ok perhaps america is talking to me and my my my personal concern and she's addressing this concern directly now it's also the impression i got of that every german position on every world economic policy was outlined in her speech so very very wide ranging and although the reactions don't seem all that good themselves that wide ranging ok so the little bit for everyone is what hear things in attending to news to you melinda as she talked about multilateralism we have to understand the context of this a speech it came under the overarching theme. in four point zero and or rushing theme that this. was summit is shaping a new globalization in the age of the fourth industrial revolution given that what

do you think was the central message well i think it was to say yes some of the institutions that were created after world war two that essentially are part of this architecture of the international order some of them badly need reform but we mustn't simply jettison the whole system because some things aren't working quite. as they should in the current time and she centrally said this order needs to be adapted to reflect a new balance of power meaning the rise of china the emerging economies and their increasing influence in the world all of that she said is very very important to do it's also very hard to do she talked about that the difficult challenges of reforming the world bank statute and the international monetary fund contribution ratios very challenging but she said it must be done we mustn't say this is

a zero sum transaction and either we throw out the whole thing and return to nationalism or we accept it as it is there's a middle way and i think that is an important message in her sort of very modest pragmatic delivery sometimes a big message can sound smaller than it is absolutely and that's one of the things she's liked and respected for that there's no exam but there's a whole degree of pragmatism illusion at this address my across america comes against the backdrop of a slowing global economy how do you think our comments really go down that the corporate sector that this seventeen hundred people they're representing the business interests. indeed well she did talk about how germany is still a very strong and industrial power that it still has a lot of potential but of course one of the this is one of the things that's really concerning europe at the moment of course we had earlier the world economic outlook

and we were germany's. growth was downgraded by a few points for twenty nineteen and as we as we often hear it's a cliche now but you do hear that if germany sneezes then europe catch the cold i'm not sure that this is the negations here we're convinced that we're convinced that miracle presented enough of a plan to head off these economic headwinds it was melinda's she did talk at times that make a lot about the german economy and she also talked about climate change in the needs to phase out did she have a plan for that indeed of the three challenges she listed that are facing the german economy and by the way she was at least somewhat frank about the fact that the german economy faces challenges she didn't try to simply paper over the difficulties and this comes after the i.m.f. downgraded the growth forecast from differ germany more significantly than for any other country in the world so that is troubling news she talked about that energy transformation as challenge number one she talked about she started out by saying

well we're phasing out nuclear energy by two thousand and twenty two frankly for climate change that's not necessarily the best of news because nuclear energy is c.e.o. to free so then she talked about the far more difficult challenge of phasing out coal and in fact there is now a plan to do that but there's a lot of difficulty it's in countering opposition and she mentioned certainly germany will have to look more to natural gas for its back up in there she said don't worry we're not going to be buying all of it from russia we will also look to liquefied natural gas from the us so as a message to washington which wants that to happen but she acknowledge it's going to be tough right and it was the real what it read was of a broad ranging speech melinda and nothing will take us some time to digest everything that she had to say but thank you very much for your initial comments melinda crane chief political correspondent and janelle in davos thank you both very much for that. turning up to zimbabwe where president m.

s. and magog war has pledged to investigate what he called unacceptable violence by security forces and that's after days long crackdown on protests that killed twelve people and injured hundreds more the violence rang around alarm bells with critics who said it resembled a country's recent past under a dictator robert mugabe medical sources though say the official told the victims may be just a fraction of the real figure. victims of the army crackdown are being treated in hospitals in the capital harare. this man was shot in the leg. he says he doesn't want to show his face because he's afraid of being targeted again people who. are already resident for i'm a posse also suffered injuries after being attacked by the security forces.

started beating me with metal rods logs and barbed wire my hand was broken twice and i have a crack on my left leg after beating me they left in a hurry. to violence erupted just over a week ago after the government dramatically increased the price of fuel. the army and police were deployed in harare and other cities to disperse protesters and prevent looting. but the security forces were accused by zimbabwe's human rights commission of using extreme violence and in some cases torture. they seem to resort to use of brute excessive and disproportionate force in most circumstances thereby causing upgradable loss of life and also always in this situation. the opposition m.d.c.

is also accused the government of deploying the military and its heavy handed tactics to intimidate and silence its critics. to israel unfortunate and very tragic that we are back to the past what is clear is that is sort of victimization on the basis of freedom of conscience or we are having all these m.d.c. and members m.p.'s being victimized. the president cut short a trip abroad to deal with the crisis he's promised a national dialogue and an investigation into the alleged abuses that mistrust and tension in zimbabwe remain high. two of the major players in the syrian conflict a deal to meet for talks that could have broad implications for the country russian president vladimir putin is hosting his turkish counterpart that you do on top of their agenda is the future of serious kurdish controlled areas goodish militia control much of northern syria if you can see in the map that's the area in yellow

this author pushing out the so-called islamic state i is has lost almost all its territory in syria and that is the area syria is marked in red that led president trump to say he would draw the two thousand american troops supporting the. edgell and regards the kurdish militia as terrorists and he sees their presence along turkey's border as a threat to national security in a telephone conversation with president trump he proposed a turkish control or so court favor along the border and that is a shaded area that you see that it is also seeking control of mamby age that is the area you see in great in the middle it's a city that the kurds captured from i guess in two thousand and sixteen with the u.s. boys to redraw the cards are trying to avoid a full on turkish military assault and they've done to russia for diplomatic help the long graham to stab michigan autonomy's region in northern syria one day but

strategically the position of goodish forces has become extremely precarious in the wake of washington's planned withdrawal. this was the scene in northeast syria two days ago when a convoy of u.s. and kurdish led troops was bombed in an attack claimed by islamic state. and exactly one week ago in kurdish child man bitch near the turkish border. another apparent i-s. attack that killed four americans. despite the ongoing fighting washington remains committed to withdrawing its troops meaning syria's kurds are about to lose a powerful ally then there's the issue of a safe zone along the border with turkey a u.s. proposal. but who should create it and who should

police it for russia which backs syria's government forces the answer is clear. we are convinced of the best and only solution is the transfer of these territories to the control of the syrian government through the syrian security forces and the ministers of functions. but turkey equally wants control of this buffer zone to protect against what it sees as the kurdish threat. proposal comes with keeping terrorists. away from our border. insists syrian kurdish fighters are linked to the kurdish rebel group the p.k. k. widely branded a terrorist organization it doesn't want syrian kurdish militia gaining power on its borders fearing that might encourage the kurdish insurgency inside turkey.

this time last year turkey launched its military operation on the former kurdish enclave of a freend in northern syria kurds marked the end of verse three with protests they have reason to fear that turkey will strike again that's why kurdish fighters are now reaching out to syrian government troops for protection. so could a turkish run safe still also be in russia's interest i put that question to our correspondent emily show in moscow well these safe zones are certainly more of a turkish objective and russia today will be defending the interests of its ally syria assad has come out and said that he is categorically against a safe zone that would be patrolled by turkish forces previously president vladimir putin has suggested that perhaps syrian government forces could control such a safe zone and we heard just now in the report that said gay lover of the foreign

minister the russian foreign minister also came out and said that the only solution would be for these territories to be given back to syrian control he also welcomed the fact that the syrian government had held talks with kurdish representatives so it seems that perhaps the compromise could be on the cards today with syria syrian forces controlling that safe zone and russia will act as an intermediary intermediary excuse me today in these talks. that was each of these and he shall win in moscow the search for the missing footballer emiliano saga has so far failed to find any definite trace of this plane in the english channel identified debris is being examined authorities say there's little hope of finding the argentinian or the pilot alive he was on his way to join his new team cardiff city when the plane disappeared in his last messages to his family and friends

a frightened silence said the plane looked like it was about to fall apart. a millionaire seller only signed as a card player from norm's on saturday he said he couldn't wait to get started now his new clothes are in shock i mean what's cannot just describe. the look on his face are very. right he made us we walked him around the grounds and. he was absolutely ready to give you that. we knew he would. be ready for us. sellers goals in the french league made him a favorite was known to fans joining in two thousand and fifteen he quickly established himself as one of the team's most reliable players. he had returned to france to say farewell to his teammates he posted this message on twitter the ultimate child the final goodbye the aircraft of salah and the pilots on board took

off from norm's on monday evening headed for cardiff but the plane disappeared from radar close to the channel islands the search is ongoing but media reports of revealed the last what's app messages cell are sent to friends and family i'm on the plane it looks like it's falling apart if in an hour and a half you do not hear from me i do not know if they will send someone to pick me up because they will not find me i'm scared rescuers do not expect to find anyone alive. or doubt very much whether they were wearing survival gear the water temperatures just above ten degrees of the moment so that doesn't give you very long before you start to freeze up. thousands of fans have held a vigil for twenty eight year old salah in what had become his adopted city while back home in argentina cellars father was crestfallen. i

spoke to him on sunday. he was very happy that he was moving to cardiff to an even bigger club that he liked he was doing well he was playing well and this news. when these things happen there are no words salo is the most expensive play a cardiff has ever bought he has never kicked a ball for them his premier league dream looks over after the cruellest twist of fate sad story scientists from the european space agency a meeting of the german city of this week to address a looming crisis a few hundred kilometers above our heads the problem space is increasingly littered with junk debris orbiting the planet is a mess menace to spacecraft and can be a hazard when it tumbles back to earth researches and not looking for ways to clean up the mess. this space debris dangerous.

earth is enveloped in a cloud of manmade debris more than seven hundred thousand pieces of it are orbiting the planet most are only a few centimeters in size but they're also fuel tanks rocket components and decommissioned satellites they travel at phenomenal speeds. and just one piece could cause serious damage. that's why space junk is monitored using radar and laser systems they can detect object as small as ten centimeters in size and pinpoint where the debris is in its orbit if need be satellites and even the i s s space station can be steered out of the way. still there have been collisions which released even more space debris into orbit.

when russian rockets take off from their baikonur launch pad debris often rains down over siberia and kazakstan but not just their. large pieces of space junk have been found in regions far away from launch sites. this came from america's sky lab space station increased solar activity destabilized skylab orbit and sent it tumbling to earth around midnight on the night of july the eleventh one thousand nine hundred seventy nine parts of it came down in western australia reportedly killing a cow. in january of one thousand nine hundred seventy seven in tulsa oklahoma lottie williams was struck in the shoulder but wasn't hurt she's the only human so far to be hit by space junk. research as want to find ways to clean up the earth's orbital junkyard the technology is still in the

development phase though until that's done the planets cloak of space waste will just keep on growing and with it the danger. with. the signs and it's. a welcome sign to some meeting in the city of dom any ideas coming up coming out of what how we can clean space well many ideas and many ideas that sound i speak to they involve arms or lasers but the most promising one is maybe the one we saw in the animation it involves a gnat so we would shoot up a set alight into orbit which would close the net there it's much like fishing actually and it would fish like it because parts and direct them to the earth's atmosphere where they would burn up in a controlled manner the test was done last year and of last year and it was actually successful at how much risk from space junk well the risk is real because there's about seven hundred fifty thousand objects larger than one

centimeter in science earth right now one centimeter might not sound like much it's much like this coffee being right here but if this has an ever to speed of about forty thousand kilometers per hour us and it racing towards you or something it will have a lot of impact it's much like a hand grenade basically so if it strikes the lights for example the whole system would go down g.p.s. wouldn't work any more it would affect wolf trade financial markets where the full cost would be possible and people wouldn't be able to watch live broadcasts like this one more than that would be. meaningless space is getting quite crowded you know along with russia and the u.s. you have china and india involved europe has new plans is it a danger that takes could spin out of control well i think they already out of control and not only china and india are pushing into space also private companies like space x. or planet announced plans to shoot up thousands of new satellites into space and

this would be the make the problem even bigger so i think everyone should something up there should have a plan how to deal with the. afterwards and how difficult is it to get people to take responsibility for taking care of their own junk in space well one way would be to make it about business basically so if companies know that there is money in collecting spaceways they would maybe come up with new technology that could be a way ok that's one way because certainly we need urgent solutions to this problem and as i go from didn't listen says there's a to have you here question bill france on his way to panama for a gathering of young catholics there around two hundred thousand people have traveled to central america to take part in the five digit number a francis is expected to speak out strongly on indigenous and human rights of the event. an image of unity flags from around the world

waiting together. with all the music they evoke a rock concert. but the youth here are not singing along with their favorite artists they're singing to god. i have many worry about their generation's future drug addiction over consumption of material goods and billions on social media. which a horn is. many young people end up on a path to crime they have a problem if they drop out of school and that's one reason they end up as criminals mascot look at the victim alcohol is affecting a lot of young people in our country. and social media is having a great impact with cyber bullying but the book i'm mature willing cyberbullying but alas the family we aren't as much of a family we're not as family oriented as we were in the past and everyone has their

own problems like where we're from it's a lot of violence it's a lot of lives lost in other places it's probably it's hunger it's hate crimes there's so much racism but i feel for us we're just here to try to figure out where is it that we're fighting your place about how is god helping us with their problems. like climate change is another big concern for pope francis and his church. he'd like to set an example by demanding dioceses around the world to work with renewable energy starting in the year two thousand and thirty but the severity of pieces go look at that it's the fact that we need to do it it's like you know when. it's in danger when my home is on fire i don't sit back and say i'm sorry i don't have time you just jump into action and that's what we also feel now that christ i mean everyone i suppose scientific community as well but i was home is on fire. getting their voices heard isn't easy for us. in this part of the world but the pope who is mired in crisis due to sexual abuse by clergy around the world is

calling for young people to address governments that have a track record for listening mostly to voices with economic power but i really. need to put public pressure on governments with civil society movements. have a right to vote and so many other ways to be heard but we need to speak out at the first hour of the health of the federal making country and our young people that. i've probably had a great service and that if it weren't for the catholic church. many here also think that as the first latin american pontiff francis understands the problem better than any other pope so far if during his visit to panama he speaks from the heart in his mother tongue he might win back some points for his discredit to church. you're watching the news coming up ahead.

that could soon become a criminal offense in hong kong no way it goes on moving to crackdown on people who don't want to sing beijing's tune. and australia is investigating the disappearance of a chinese australian also who's reportedly been missing since and think china five days ago is this a no that tit for tat arrest. all that and much more coming up shortly do stay with the governance if you can. china is in the fall mostly when it comes to digital technology just the country is transforming itself into a high tech nation. speech for its people that brings economic prosperity. for the all for terrorism it's the chance to achieve children something. china

the digital. age of forty five minutes on d w. her first day of school in the jungle. first the clueless and. then doris granger moment arrives to. join the ranks taking on her journey back to freedom to move in our interactive documentary. toronto bringing ten returns home on d w dot com among its hangs. hijacking the news. more are going wrong in the news is being hijacked journalism itself has become a scripted reality show it's not just good versus evil us versus them wacky and more. in countries like russia china church. people are told it's that simple

and if you're a journalist here and you try to get beyond that you are facing scare tactics intimidation. and i wonder is that where we're headed as well. my responsibility as a journalist is to get beyond the smoke and mirrors it's not just about be here for balance or being neutral it's about being truthful. funny the sport of golf and i will give you the. this is the news coming to you live from berlin i'm the. top story jim johnson the mechanism of course for the reform of global institutions giving a keynote address at the world economic forum in davos she said reform would help counter what she cornered the fragmentation of the multilateral.

now let's go to hong kong where if you don't like this song have a listen. to what he did was to be made soon had to keep feeding steele said it's a national anthem the people's republic of china and some hong kong lawmakers have proposed a bill that would criminalize disrespect for the anthem critics believe beijing is behind the move and they're pushing back at what they see as censorship. china's national anthem as performed two years ago at the twentieth anniversary of hong kong's return to chinese rule. legally in spain just a song in hong kong like any other now a proposed law would make any mockery of the adam a crime. the lyrics are

a call to rise up against oppression opponents in hong kong are doing just that for what they see as meddling from beijing. pro-democracy group has been campaigning against the bill they say the enfamil erodes hong kong's freedom of expression and will make political parodies like this punishable with jail time. we just hope to let the new generation and nonsteroidal know that this kind of national ad from law is not far away from all that they live and one just make a joke all i just hope to use it to from way to play the national ever already face to face to be prosecuted by the government. and the political debate has crossed over into sports hong kong soccer fans have been booing the chinese anthem at matches to protest beijing's growing influence over the territory scenes like this

have angered conservative lawmakers. golden child of the probe aging d.a.b. party says activists have crossed the red line. to me is very simple you can always express a lot of different opinion against the government and it won't get you into any trouble here in hong kong because we have the freedom of speech but the national anthem as i say is same bully. we are not compelling people who is all we do is and it turkey both from showing its roots back only. the answer bill is up for a final vote later this year and is expected to pass easily. after that the only place to hear john is national anthem in hong kong might be officially sanctioned occasions. most truly is investigating the disappearance of

a chinese australian author who has reportedly been missing since entering china five days ago friends of young hung a novelist blogger and forward chinese diplomat rizzi alarm after he flew from new york to on friday this is they've heard nothing from him since then they too foreign ministry has denied any knowledge of his whereabouts. now for more on the story i'm joined now by a d.d. caisson talk low she's been a reporter in beijing for many years a welcome did it tell us a little bit more about the young one john what was the reason do you think behind this attention. mr young is a very well known blogger about chinese affairs she's born in china he's a straight in citizen and he has blogged for years about democracy essentially and has tried to explain democracy in china the details of how it works and suchlike

and has not been. quiet about his support for a more open democratic transparent system in china and simply says that china needs it in order to truly flourish so there are these suspicions that because he's disappeared that this is exactly why austria recently expressed concern about china's detention of two canadians in retaliation for a senior executive do you think this is china's on so that's we're not quite sure yet what's going on even we're still trying to clarify a lot of details that is reporters friends of his even a stray and foreign ministry which you know the government has asked the government has asked a clarification the chinese spokeswoman of the foreign ministry says she doesn't know what's going on. and in these detentions if that's what's happened as reports say it how. as there's often a sort of period between when a person disappears and when the truth starts to trickle out and it can be quite long so we're in a sort of strange in-between phase but essentially with regard to hallway and that

crisis there it's possible and there are fears it's not perhaps just concerns in this trailer that this is linked to huawei and that it's china quasar opening up a second front of. attack or pushback against the west for the detention of man who tune in in. excuse me in canada recently but we again we don't know that yet for sure and it has to be said that young june has disappeared before in china and did show up again ok so sort of a miss to say you lived as a foreign correspondent in beijing for years and years did you feel intimidated when you cover stories which perhaps china might have viewed as critical absolutely . absolutely and i think that this fear because it is fear is something that people like young honduran will know very very well of course

he's an ethnic chinese so he's that much more risk than others who are not ethnic chinese because the chinese government always views people like him as being forever chinese you may have a story impossible but they see as being chinese and the fear comes from the fact that it is a state that does not have what we would recognise in western nations as being a rule of law what it has is a so-called legal system which is run by the communist party so you really don't know at what turn are you doing something wrong where is the red line has it moved and you know the overt influence the overt pressure from all kinds of security personnel in the course of a journalist you work as is often there if you do sensitive issues or is there right or did he kissed and to thank you very much for your insight thank you. let me now bring you up to date with some of the other stories making news around the timelines electoral commission has set

a date for the general election it will be held on march twenty fourth the vote has been postponed several times prompting angry protests it will be the first election since the two thousand and fourteen coup that's when the military ousted the government of shinawatra amid allegations of corruption. a former senior south korean prosecutor has been convicted of abuse of power and she and for to hear us on tape around was accused of repeatedly groping a female colleague the case triggered a flood of similar accusations against men in positions of power. in sports qatar is set to close the world cup in two thousand and twenty two but the lack of football heritage in the tiny god state needs its successful bid was widely met with skepticism however success at the current asian cup suggests cutter's national football team why turn out to be a formidable world cup post after all. construction around the clock is required to

complete these massive stage of the art stadiums in qatar head of the twenty twenty two world cup. the host themselves have been making waves in the twenty nine hundred six you're in a place in the quarterfinals for just the third time. however a few years ago telltale signs of future success were there in twenty fourteen qatar won the asian under nineteen championship. unlike guitar's national team in the past when they heavily relied on players from abroad to compete these days the nation has taken more of a grassroots approach now more than half the team is qatari head coach. is optimistic that the team's current form will continue at major championships including on home turf in twenty twenty two when you're playing on your winning of course they're going for than is growing on the keep growing. we hope we can

than expected his warning comes a day after the i.m.f. lowered its fall calls for world growth for this year and next moment be issues putting pressure on the global economy britain's imminent departure from the e.u. weakness in emerging markets and the ongoing trade dispute between the united states and china. staying in davos with numerous heads of government including the german chancellor as we heard earlier make an appearance on day two of the davos meeting the focus is shifting to europe certainly enough for the continent to show on at the moment breaks it is taking center stage. he's at it again part of a promotion for a scottish company in dallas but it's hard not to hear a melancholic tune after all by next year's world economic forum britain should officially be out of the e.u. it's still not clear how so the british prime minister cancelled her visit to you might see prince william cross your path he probably won't be commenting on briggs

it though but others like this top german economist are speaking their minds. is the terrible thing is that the e.u. is trying to find a way to make britain an offer for leaving that doesn't make sense we want them to stay in the e.u. we want them to be part of it we have a historic opportunity to turn the situation around the e.u. should be making britain an offer to stay. if threats of were off the table europe could finally concentrate on the future again it would do well to act now so that it's not left behind in competition with china and the us. it it's time to talk about a new european economic policy in the us consumer sector there is the digital platform economy in china we see how industry is rapidly digitizing and one of the big issues here is what is the future digital infrastructure for european industry and davros is of course a forum where all that's being discussed. that. europe will try to set the tone in

davos this year even though everything is being overshadowed by briggs it. one company whose representatives are being followed closely in davos as chinese electronics and telecommunications giant wall way it's been banned from bidding for government contracts in the u.s. and other countries for being overly cozy with the chinese government against the backdrop of the ongoing trade war with the u.s. well ways relationship with a range of western governments has grown strained in germany for example is currently debating whether to ban its technology from new five g. networks in davos while ways deputy chairman says in the tech sector companies needed to start being more vocal in their relationship with governments or it would have serious knock on effects on other industries. i would strongly advocate that the business community to opinions to the government to comment on that there

understand the requirements from the business community otherwise i worry that the trends will expand to many many harder industries and countries in fact while ways problems have already spread to other countries in an ongoing drama on the other side of the atlantic in canada its c.f.o. main one jew still stands accused of violating u.s. sanctions on iran and faces extradition to the united states on the sidelines at davos weiwei chairman lee young told reporters his company doesn't pose a threat to a future digital society but convincing western governments of that is easier said than done. it's not just business leaders and politicians that made the trip into the swiss swiss alps many heads of nongovernmental lobby groups like greenpeace or amnesty international are there too they feel that rubbing elbows with the so-called elite could help their cause our reporter met up with one of these

activists kumi knight who doesn't like coming to davos but he's been attending the forum for fourteen years now. is a pathological condition which many people here suffer from where they believe that a meaningful life a good life a decent life comes from more and more material acquisitions. his reality is usually very far away from the posh pristine summit and that's why n.g.o.s like his are often criticized for attending the forum and meeting with he elite but it's a necessary evil for call me. connect of the we are trying to hold up a mirror off a different reality that the people we work with on the ground on a daily basis tell us we have to challenge some of the. visions that flawed to present alternative visions n.g.o.s are in the absolute

minority here in davos the forum is dominated by big business. but that's the good thing about the forum says kyle's cyma her n.g.o.s first book provides books and other necessities to children in need. you can't pick one sector as the solution to all social problems but we can't do it alone either these are these are problems that in many cases are outpacing solutions right now and we all have to lock arms and focus. focus not on what n.g.o.s shouldn't to do but what they can do at the summit that's the been the day and. more international news with a my top thank you. for the drilling number of survivors sharing their experiences

an important way to make sure there was never forgets the horrors of the nazi past a museum in chicago has found a new way of doing just that even long after those survivors are gone. who's real here fritz needs her hologram. which was the real me. i felt it was important i felt it was an important story it was difficult because they took me back into the past and it's something that i didn't wish to relive. is the president of the illinois holocaust museum in chicago the museum has long considered how to keep the holocaust memory alive. for a chill was thirteen when the nazis deported her and her mother to auschwitz they were crammed into a cattle car like this one she says she has five hundred ninety nine women to thank for her survival. when they all gave me their crumbs it was the size of

a marble but it saved my life and maybe took away from theirs in turn i made a promise that if i survived. i would be the messenger preaching wants to tell their stories to young people in the future even when she's no longer alive. my lady thirty i'd be happy to answer any questions you know a girl asks how she felt about religion after the war. it's god doing today. ok. but she was people saw her. and so i was aware of it they were. you know. at some point i actually just sort of forgot that she was a hologram it felt so natural in i guess real it was really touching

to i don't know like eve you felt like you were with her like and like you saw how much like you know how much of her what she was going through that producing the holograms was challenging. for five days in a green screen studio in los angeles countless cameras were pointed at her she was asked thousands of questions she never knew what would come next. with the help of key words the holograms are programmed in such a way that they can give spontaneous answers for every question there are several responses. the part that's the most important is the interactivity so that our visitors feel that they are having an intimate conversation with a survivor in real time and they can drive the content as we're all used to now.

the message from survivors new generations must learn from the past. their stories live on is holograms there already twelve of them the chicago museum hopes to persuade other museums to use this new form of memorial. today if you want to visit the warsaw ghetto you find this not much left to see almost nothing remains of the three and half square kilometers of the nazis imprisoned or with a million jews the nazis mudded most of them before they burnt the district to the ground in one thousand nine hundred three but a group of jews inside the ghetto made sure they would never be forgotten the secret that they created keeps the stories of police shoes alive to this day there's a council of the basis for an important new documentary called who would write a history in and two weeks ago two germans were killed and one hundred pope david

leavitt's from moscow to dis is here to tell us what this is what an incredible story david it is an incredible has an incredible story and it really comes down to one person emmanuel renaud bloom he was a historian who lived who was imprisoned with his family i should say inside the warsaw ghetto they actually survived the destruction of the ghetto only to be shot to death by the nazis in one thousand nine hundred four but he spent the last years of his life we did a group called on it chavez or the joys of sabbath in english and spent their last years collecting as much evidence of life as they could letters diaries photographs poems from the people around them that this film is being shown all over the world to speak and tell us about that right this week and sunday is the international holocaust remembrance day and for that this movie is being shown in cinemas in countries around the world including in paris where the you know sco is having

a special screening because the warsaw ghetto archive is you know asco world heritage so let's have a closer look at this film who will write our history. for a long long months ito matter selves in the midst of our suffering with questions. the world now about our suffering. and if it knows. why is it silent it was the fear of being forgotten that dr emmanuel ring will bloom to create his walsall ghetto archive in it countless records diaries photos and poems collected by reno bloom and his sixty help his insights into suffering and the human spirit that without their efforts would have been lost forever. we would know what the germans wanted us to know or the nazis we would know what the nazis wanted us to know but we wouldn't know how people lived what they thought what they felt how they cared for each other. the documents was stored and buried

in water tight metal boxes and milk jugs. after world war two parts of the archive were recovered with the help of survivors. historians are still analyzing the documents to this day. as they were able to learn from the sources how the people experienced their own persecution and what courses of action all recourse they saw available to them and we can see how different these people were these individuals and if either one the film who will rush our history shows how wrong or bloom and his help has continually risked their lives to preserve the voices of a community. sometimes i worry that these terrible pictures of the life we're looking at every day. will die with us. my pictures our panic on a sinking ship. sorrow. let the witness be

our writing. class really powerful hugh already seen the film david what did you think about. it well you know what what struck me the most was actually the moral dilemma facing the people living in the warsaw ghetto questions like what does it mean that we walk past children who are dying in the streets does it mean that we're horrible people or are we just doing what we have to do to keep our own families alive should we feed everyone just a few spoonfuls or let some people starve and others be healthy these are questions that no one should ever have to ask but they were the questions that the people in the warsaw ghetto did have to ask here's another clip from the film that made a real impression on me. i lived by the wall that divides the ghetto from the area inside. we can observe scores of jewish children stealing over to the area inside to buy a few potatoes. yesterday the jewish boy shot dead in front of my window.

it was committed by a polish policeman. that's a pretty. impressive clip because the polish the current polish government the far right government in point actually just last year banned any suggestions that people might make that poland was complicit in the holocaust so this film is going to be shown sunday across poland i'm really interested to see what the reaction is there going to be really tragic things about that whole situation was that at some point for the people in the also ghetto they must have been clear that they're not going to survive what insights can one derives from this you know that's another really amazing thing is that there were there was such an effort to preserve their humanity despite everything we see that the people in the warsaw ghetto they put on theater they continued to preserve their religious practices even when the

questions of whether to fast when they were already starving they had schools for the children secret schools and of course this archive so really that the effort to continue to preserve their humanity is just incredible in the most horrific of circumstances david live us from moscow to desk thank you very much. you're washing d w three games. from me i'm the touchy man from david leavitt's thank you for your company. move.
