the deadlock over breakfast. in algeria hundreds of people have gathered in the capital algy is for the eleventh a week in a row of anti-government protests calling for a complete overhaul of the political system including the removal of allies of former president denies he's guilty flicka public pressure forces resignation a month ago. facebook has banned the number of far right commentators including the millo young couple of nation of islam leader louis farrakhan and alex jones a right wing talk show host and conspiracy theorist mark zuckerberg said the decision was made to promote safety with many users describing the move as censorship. today's world of press freedom day a day for remembering the importance of a free press and for reminding elected governments of their duty to uphold the rights of citizens to communicate without fear we're going to take a look at slovakia a country that was shaken by the murder of an investigative reporter and his

girlfriend last year the killings led to mass demonstrations and forced the prime minister to stand down with a journalist d.w. spoke with say they still don't feel safe. back in journalists is that handle over an atom visiting a memorial to their colleague. i still cannot believe that he's not here anymore we will never forget him and. it's very sad and i think of him almost every day who checks killing should care in the news room of the country's biggest newspaper it is still one of the biggest stories especially since a new development involving this man tycoon marrying kartchner he march he was charged with ordering the murder of the journalist who is investigating allegations of fraud against him the tycoon was known for his efforts to intimidate reporters he deemed threatening one method was to spy on them i don't validate it was also a target. i suspected since last year that caution i

was having me observed that was when he suddenly released private things about me my childhood my health but the police has only now officially confirmed and. despite the threats budget continued his investigation into coaching his dealings and his alleged contacts within the police and judiciary but for him and his colleague cancel over the tycoons reported efforts to suppress the truth representative shocking new love you knew that my uncle junior was crazy but we always thought that he's like. he's dangerous but not their dangers we always thought that it's all about money and business newspaper editors now worried about the safety of journalists but she says the motive to check is a watershed not just for journalism but also for the future of the country this was such a defining moment in slovakia's journalism because we're realize that the country is on a crossroad and it's not only that these murder needs to be investigated but

that we have to tell the story how we got to the point she says despite their charges that they have also been advantages she says many slovakians value the work of the reporters more and are prepared to spend money to support it on the good side the. support from the public we do have readers who are really into the bay who are were speaking to us because they understand that that this is important despite all the political and financial pressures the press in slovakia is a life and fighting on journalists message to the country's oligarchs is you can buy a paper or a news room but you can't buy us there are people in it. and you can learn more about that world press freedom day on our website w dot com christoph dreyer from reporters without borders cannot tell us more about the issues arising welcome to d

w we just saw the story of a young coach a young journalist who was murdered but that is one murder which is tragic every day people around the world live with war famine and corruption so why is freedom of the press important piracy. well whenever there are situations like like wars famine corruption there are people responsible for it and press freedom is one way to hold them responsible to hold those in power responsible for what they're doing so it's an essential freedom that is kind of a guarantee for other freedoms except that if you your the very people who are perpetrating war famine and corruption are not likely to heed any call for press freedom well no usually they're not because they don't like to be criticised and they don't like. to be they don't like critical questions so. you but you should be very two of people who want to hide something and

that's always a sign that there's something behind it and you should look closer we live in a world where the notion of alternative facts has become established hate speech is increasing terrorism is all over the place a responsible government say they have a right indeed the people need the press to be controlled in these circumstances that means for make very suspicious because if the government wants to control what you can know they've got they want to hide something so you should take a closer look at exactly that under those countries are conditions so hate speech and misinformation should allow should be allowed to go unchecked no but then there shouldn't be a pretext for to control the flow of news news and hate speech is two quite different things and you can control a hate speech there as there are criminal laws and so on without without controlling the flow of news other countries where the situation for journalists is

actually improved yes there are my two favorite examples this year eritrea and gambia both of which are countries where democratic change has led to new governments and these new governments have made large. movements that many journalists walk out of a prison and lead to many other improvements so they hopefully they've started the good way and how has has that led to people's lives being better try to draw a line between press freedom and people's lives being better is that connection i think we'll have to see but for there not only journalists for example who are jailed or disappear and go in gambia there was a fair case of a journalist many years ago just disappeared and now only now can people investigated and tried to uncover what was behind it of course this has happened to other people as well not just the journalists so the same applies for for all those

people suffering from human rights abuses which are getting worse. it got worth in quite a number of places tremendous time has become the very last country know this year . but we've also seen the situation got worse in a number of places in europe pru would have thought that you were still overall the best situation but in places like slovakia or hungary. the situation is continuing to get worse and test done so for a couple of years i could talk to you thanks for joining us christopher dreier from reports of the borders. this is a doubly news life from birth and still to come a breakthrough in the fight against the so-called dark net german police arrest the suspected mastermind behind the world's second biggest online criminal trading powerful. north korea is running out of food after the worst harvest for ten years that's a warning from the united nations whose experts have been touring the isolated

country for the last two months the u.n. world food program says that without international aid as many as ten million people will go hungry until the next harvest. farmers in the southwestern corner of north korea were planting rice when u.n. officials passed through in early april but shortages of fertilizer and fuel keep output low water is also scarce in many areas this irrigation canal was virtually dry. a few kilometers to the north officials found dehydrated barley fields the countryside struggling to recover after months of extreme weather. this has meant teams are back from the field and they have spoken to households farmers local officials that visited nurseries what is clear to us is that we're very concerned with the situation of food security nutrition korea what is clear is that the succession of drought wave and floods this year as about impacting the crop

production. many people try to help themselves this woman has a small digital garden and raises chickens but most of the year she survives on a diet of rice and compete. it is estimated that about ten point one million people around forty percent of the population are considered to be food insecurity and in need of urgent food assistance. the groups the social groups that are more a fact that and in danger are children young children and we men pregnant women and like they can we. the world food program provides food aid to almost peed hundred thousand nourished women and children in nine north korean provinces some of that food comes from local factories that produce cereals and biscuits using grains imported by the world food program but the organization says much more needs to be

done if north koreans are to be saved from going hungry. the united states is clamping down on iran's oil exports the country's main source of income eight countries which had been buying oil from the from iran will now have to find other supplies turkey in particular is feeling the pinch. for turkey the end of the u.s. waiver couldn't come at a worse time the country is in a recession the turkish lira has plunged eleven percent against the dollar and oil prices are rising. it's not rosabelle for us to diversify the source of the oil we import in a short time the technology used in our refineries isn't compatible with crude oil exported from many countries. turkey is among the eight countries affected by the end of the u.s.

waiver china the biggest buyer of a rainy an oil has also condemned washington's decision but its neighbor india says it's ready to comply with the new u.s. restriction. and we are prepared to deal with the impact of the decision. and it will be additional supplies from other. countries. which has been drawn up by the ministry of petroleum and natural gas while the reactions of the affected countries may differ the latest move shows just how determined the us is to cripple the iranian economy. german troops helping to train security forces in mali have a chance of i'm going to call for support the chance that was that was part of a three day tour of west africa germany's one of a number of e.u. countries trying to boost stability in the region in an effort to produce migration to europe. for security reasons german chancellor angela merkel traveled from kenya

fonso to mali in an aircraft of the german military the blunders veer in gallo she visited german soldiers stationed there their most important role in mali is information gathering doing patrols using heavy vehicles and drones it's tough work and roughly fifty degrees heat the essence my first few days are very very stressful you just have to keep hydrated stay in the shade and climatized missions i'm sure and i think it's nice she shows her appreciation for the soldiers by coming here. the chancellor thanked the soldiers and said their mission was currently the point has been as most dangerous if this is not the in you can clearly see that the african nations here in this region are reliant on external support with both material supplies and training on the blunders fears mandate for the mali mission finishes at the end of the month the german parliament will consider an extension next week earlier in the day merkel also visited the

university of. students were curious about german investments in the country but concerned about german weapon exports to the region merkel said on the one hand countries have to be restrictive when it comes to exports but. that the movement on the other hand we also have to make sure your opinions or your own african forces have the equipment they need if they're not as equipped as terrorists that would be bad. in the evening the chancellor headed to nice when she's due to visit a woman's project that she personally supports. police in germany has shut down the second largest criminal trading platform on the dark net three suspected masterminds of extensive criminal network known as the wall street market have been arrested suspected of being behind the platform dealing in narcotics and stolen data. the shutdown of the second largest online platform for illegal trade is

a massive blow for the dark net just about everything traded on the black market from drugs to fake passports was available on wall street market. three germans who allegedly operated the illegal portal were arrested more than a week ago which it is i. would like to express my gratitude to the representatives of the authorities involved for their support and cooperation this was a good example of the fight against criminal activities in the digital world. the platform is said to have had a turnover of more than forty million euros with one million of that ending up in the three operator's pockets. unlike other illegal platforms wall street market did not offer weapons or child pornography. and this externally difficult investigation was a success it has provided a glimpse into how such marketplaces often conceal a complex infrastructure that is spread over numerous countries and continents

continent as for tight by tim's on wall street markets were not purchased with real money but with so-called crypto currency digital seemingly anonymous currencies getting access to these spheres required great expertise on the part of the investigators as well as much patience and luck. i'm very appreciative of our german hosts and for all of the international law enforcement partners represented here today. the investigation into wall street market was truly a collaborative effort between prosecutors in the united states germany and the netherlands thanks a lot of investigators in the u.s. have also brought charges against the three suspected wall street market administrators. now in football that are just three match weekends left in the bundlers league season the battle for the championship is as tight as it's being for years by and

munich are just two points ahead of dormant when the lead could change this weekend in some places leipsic and they have the team whites have a mathematical chance of winning the title as well lives they have won six matches in a row in the bundesliga and will have a good chance of extending its free tonight against minds tonight don't have a tough match at bremen by a host last place. so potentially decisive weekend in the bundesliga and also in the english premier league and even a tough week and top story welcome at lehman like sixth form is problematic for german football fans so which is likely to give them a bigger nightmare as diane winning a seventh consecutive title or leipzig coming out of nowhere to stop them and that you ask because here we have two of the most hated clubs in german football i mean on the one site you have by and who have dominated the league for the past six years and then of course you have leipsic who are often accused of buying their

success so and yes i know this also sounds absurd but mathematically like say it could still win the title that's because there's only a five point gap between them and you know are true as unpredictable as football is i don't think it's going to happen i don't see by and dropping zone many points that you decide in terms of who you think is the lesser of the two evils ok so you're going to focus on both sides about particular argument. and dortmund have. dramatic stumbles this weekend so which of them has the biggest challenge to keep their visions alive definitely by in munich because they're up against relegation threaten to hand over and if these relegation threatened sites that give you the most trouble this time of the season then you're up against an in-form leipsic and then on the final day they face hung forward and frankfurt we all know are aiming for that top four finish. the last over close to win there but this league was your

club he's now at liverpool in the english premier league he also has a title on the line this weekend and tell us about. here too is so close i mean city just have a one point lead over liverpool and liverpool of course they could win all their remaining games and in previous years that would have been enough so they could end up on ninety seven points and so not win the title and let's also not forget that liverpool will also have to hope that city drop points somewhere which of course is very unlikely and let's also not to forget that liverpool are fighting on two fronts so they are still in the in the champions league and that's where i think city might have the advantage because they can focus all their energy towards the premier league and of course they have to experience they won it last season so for liverpool i think it does get a bit tricky because just like this situation in the champions league they will have to you know it is possible but then they'll have to hope for america alone

because you know it's been twenty nine long years and. i think for liverpool really they have to cut in a way call upon the football gods maybe to help them out of it but where they'd be tired from their efforts in the champions league well that also is that it's also really good argument because they will be more tired they will have played more games so for liverpool it's difficult it's really really difficult and i'm talking if not impossible back there. star wars fans around the world of mocking the passing of one of the brightest lights in the stock was universe pizza mayhew who played chewbacca and five of the films has died and more than two metres tall the towering add to became an iconic part of cinema history after director george lucas cast him in the side i think it was some to form his own. is a reminder of our top stories i sow cyclon funny has hits a north east indian lashing beaches with rain and winds gusting more than two
