well you talk. this is the w. news live from berlin the women take to the streets on international women's day. thousands demonstrate in turkey's largest city. and around the world people i'm not sure protesting and striking in the name of gender equality also on the program diving in the dark a power outage closes down venezuela the government blames what it calls the enemies of socialism for damaging the country's biggest electricity source. and a cargo plane welcome past a welcome to very special passengers a little gray i'm

a little white so leaving a life of showcase in a chinese aquarium and being airlifted to iceland the world's first open water centric. i'm for a girl welcome to the program events have been taking place around the world to mark international women's day turkey's biggest city istanbul saw thousands of demonstrators demand the release of women imprisoned in syria the organizers say that more than thirteen and a half thousand women have been jailed best since the civil war began almost eight years ago and that more than seven thousand often have been subject to torture rape or other inhumane treatment. you know they don't correspond to uni ahana. close the famous attacks in the square where the main women's much. well.

well right now i'm in the city center and we had to move a little further away from the crowd we've witnessed some quite heated scenes just recently the police has been trying to disperse the crowd right in the back i'm not sure whether you can see that there is a huge bullies a blockade policemen are and women are heavily armed to today so you're just seeing a small part of the crowd of the actual crowd that we saw today people women were actually trying to walk down marched down is cyclo evan you are really meaningful plays bad as i mentioned there were blocked by police so they were basically gathering for one and two hours hundreds of people definitely maybe thousands it's really hard to guess from looking at the scene say here last year women were still allowed to march down istiklal at this year as i said the police intervened and

called people now to disperse and that's basically what we see right now people are trying to leave the city center to through the three side streets ok so police have dispersed allowed this mass gathering to start in the first place and mass protests happen. why the day to day. well first of all it's of course the internationals a women's day it's a meaningful protest but as you rightly said especially since the failed coup here in turkey in some of twenty sixteen we have witnessed a massive crackdown on media organizations civil society organizations on private persons as well have been criticizing the turkish government or president out on himself so all kinds of demonstrations be it workers unions or demonstrations the gay pride they have all been banned so that shows how difficult it has become for

many people to voice their concerns at their anger how little space there is left and i think today tonight is just another example and that's why actually women's day is so important for many people here not just for women but for many others as well. let's take a look now at some other international women's day a stories from around the world the tens of thousands of demonstrators have marched across algeria in the biggest protest yet against their president abdelaziz bouteflika bid for a fifth the demonstrations were mostly peaceful but authorities used tear gas and stun grenades parts of the capital algiers public transport services in the capital were also suspended. that is from minister is a very has called on the european union to make what she called more push to get a revised deal that parliament is due to hold

a second vote on the deal next week the prime minister has so far failed to gain concessions that she says would secure lawmakers support the. former u.s. army intelligence analyst to chelsea manning has been jailed after refusing to testify to a grand jury investigating the wiki leaks website she says she objects to the secrecy of the proceedings and that she's already told all thought is everything she knows amounting to jail term after leaking documents to the site in twenty ten . and a stepsister of and frankly jewish direst whose family hid from the nazis has visited a california high school after a party that caused outrage last weekend the school's facing criticism after pictures emerged on social media showing students giving nazi salutes around a swastika a made of big cups. d.w. reporter. has been looking into this story welcome to tell us what happened so these nazi salute photos were initially posted. by people at the party they were

quickly picked up by the social media and on twitter for example caused a bit of an embarrassment to the school lost last week earlier this week hundreds of people showed up at a meeting there to express their outrage and now it's gone at international attention because eva schloss house decided to visit the school she is the stepsister and frank who famously wrote her diary while she was hiding in an attic in and amsterdam during the second world war i didn't from the nazis and you know as you know she ended up being caught by the nazis and died in a concentration camp so what came out of the meeting. described it as a very emotional meeting she had a chance to educate the students and tell them about experiences of being in our streets. these students are the same age that she was at sixteen when she was finally freed from the concentration camp at that time her father was dead her

brother was dead and she and her mother have survived now we have a clip of us on her initiate initial reaction to seeing these photos. here. clean. you know. like she should still have been very keyed in to really speak and here. able to do it. so what has been the fallout now official says she doesn't believe that these students knew what they were doing today it was a bit of a joke they didn't understand the complexity now she said that they did apologize profusely to her but she also says there might be a silver lining to this whole incident if we can have another listen to what she had to say. but i think she has said. as she get it actually

perhaps it was good secret that it happened because it has opened and it is generally now especially if you're putting it over the whole it might change at get your everywhere so she talks about changing attitudes you also says that in light of these incidents it's clear that more needs to be done to educate young people about the holocaust and you know this is not just happening in a vacuum this. recent ordered in the us of a ninety four percent rise in anti-semitic incidents in public schools in our country a couple years ago it was the the same trend in europe in germany there was a ten percent. increase in aunties and semitic offenses that was recorded by the police in france the same seventy four percent increase in anti-semitic incidents enough country so this goes to show more than seven decades on from the second world war and it's just shows that the importance of the course education. thank
