the sea conditions could also considered extremely dangerous since that time every six hours that are passing it's what the meterological department has said the storm the cyclon is being downgraded now it was expected to be an extremely severe known and it has since been doubt be added to a very serious cycle and the cycle is moving in and often off extend that option so it hit the southern coast of british of this morning at the dam local time but this from cresting towards the state of west bengal also in india and repast through west bengal and to make its way to bangladesh but as it progresses it is weakening ok so it is weakening but but still we can. across the area talk us through the extent of damage well definitely the damage is silvio we already are seeing images of of communication for instance telephonic for those falling houses have suffered damage and all serious as severely inundated already

essentially authorities have put out warnings saying that even while the storm is weakening the speeds of the wind out over one hundred kilometer spot are still so vested in the should not take it should not to expect for this to be an easy and easy easy day coming forward and damage the true extent of it actually when we become clear once the inundating water has receded but already that the estimates are that infrastructure has been they have really hit. have also argues coped. well that is one thing on which the central authorities have done very well india's national disaster spawns forces one of the largest in the world and the indian army and the indian. the indian air force has been on standby the indian course caught in need we have been deployed many teams that all the deployed and one million people have been evacuated i'm medical the medical help for them has also been provided and also electricity backup is being provided as well so far has been

correspondent funny for shah traveled to borno state in nigeria and spoke with journalists working in challenging conditions. it's. heavy military presence in many parts of my degree city the capital of borno state in nigeria often it's news about terror attacks that dominates people's daily lives today it's positive excitement. president bihari is about to arrive blessing to know we'll cover it she's a television correspondent here and her office is this car on in normal the kind of raise your camera and begin to feel the military alone a day like this when you have the president just in i mean you can get through with almost anything now she's rushing to a school that were hard ones to commission the president's convoy is passing by a billboard picturing malala yousafzai a symbol of education for girls exactly what islamist terror group wants to fight.

that's one hundred twentieth out of one hundred eighty countries despite the government's official obligation to protect the freedom of the press but its human rights was a. point out the reality on the ground is different jonell is a subject of violence and they are denied access to information. this is both men car in january his newspaper office was raided by the military because of this article that got him in trouble a story about an operation against boko haram why shoot the office berated just because we carried the reports the reporters should be free we're all still called us we're all we're all shareholders in the enterprise called where bt with men says the raid made him only stronger and even more committed but in order for change to happen in nigeria biharis priorities must also include press freedom he says is should be on his priority list because we are total of democracy the

press is the only portent instrument this society uses to check excesses in new kitties injustices our family is committed by any of these arms of government with my beliefs the limits for the press are rooted in the country's military past he says nigeria must live up to its commitment that the country's ruled by the constitution and not by decrease. facebook and other social media giants have been under fire recently for not doing enough to spread to halt the spread of misinformation and hate speech on the platforms facebook has now taken some headline grabbing action it is bound accounts for what it describes as far as figures but the move is also reigniting a debate about the role internet companies play in regulating online speech and journalism. to to use columnist new content a school welcome call to his face book banning this is a ban it's actually pretty wide sweeping so it applies to facebook and instagram so

both platforms are owned by by facebook and mark zuckerberg and these are people who the company calls actually dangerous individuals they have repeatedly violated the policies against promoting violence and hatred on the platforms and big names in the far right scene here we're talking about people like alex jones and his site info wars mightily in op was paul joseph watson among others facebook also banning the leader of the nation of islam louis farrakhan it's not clear really if there was a single events that led to this announcement but we can listen to what mark zuckerberg himself said on monday at the facebook developers con conference to get a bit of bit of a clue about what he might have been thinking here's what he said we're very focused on making sure that our recommendations and discovery surfaces aren't highlighting groups were people repeatedly sharing misinformation or harmful content and we're working hard to completely remove groups if they exist primarily

to or to violate our policies or or do things that are dangerous as you mentioned like a very has been getting a lot of criticism on this issue for not doing enough so maybe now the company finally decided to act and act forcefully you know the social media companies have also been criticized including from the u.s. congress for suppressing conservative voices so where does freedom of expression play into this yeah i mean absolutely it turns out a lot of that criticism by. was coming from congress according to experts is not necessarily founded in fact however it does seem like a lot of these bands they tend to lean heavily towards members of the far right or conservatives in fact many of the people that were just banned from the platform completely banned by the way they're speaking out they're saying you know they're censored because of their beliefs and one of them the british media figure paul joseph watson he posted a video on you tube where he is still active today and he says look i'm a victim here's his video so i'm dangerous someone who makes mean video was

laughing at social justice warriors or is handing the power to decide who gets to have free speech to a handful of giant politically paul it is uncalled for russians dangerous what's more dangerous they put me on the list with terrorists human traffickers and serial killers because i criticize modern all involved in all conjecture because i day criticize mass immigration because i decorative a belief system ok well let's break that down the little bit i mean he's a pretty notorious figure on the far right sure this ban will of course limits his reach limit what he can say but this is not about his views on an modern architecture as he kind of insists there phil i mean look he and info wars and prison planet and all the outlets that he's associated with have been spreading some pretty nasty stuff so they've been spreading fake news including misinformation about the safety of vaccines they've been instigating violence against minorities and women on facebook they've even claimed that mass shootings

didn't happen they've been claiming that the victims heap of that died were actually quote crisis actors so that's really where this band is coming from and it has to do with the dangerous stuff that they've been spreading not with views on modern architecture and so do bands like this work that's the question that's the debate can you just ban something you don't like from a platform i mean it's not going to get rid of it right and then supported of course to point out freedom of speech does not necessarily a proper fly here to private key. and he's the first amendment for example so facebook or twitter they have the right to make up their own rules about what's allowed and they're allowed to enforce those rules of people that are crying hey this is against my first amendment rights that doesn't necessarily apply here but look you know someone like paul joseph watson someone like alex jones who is known for his conspiracy theories they're going to have those opinions they'll have those conspiracy theories whether it's on facebook or maybe a different platform on their own blog or even as we've seen a lot of people when they get banned from a larger platform they creep into the darker corners of the internet something like

four chan or eight chan and they start having these opinions there so that's maybe something more difficult to regulate and we were talking about this earlier i mean you've heard about you know these these events in christ church the shooting there the recent shooting at a mosque or i'm sorry the synagogue and san diego those were linked through these sort of darker chat rooms on the internet a lot of those shooters had the same ideology that was all connected by these other platforms so just putting these people on facebook won't necessarily solve the problem of far right violence for example to coalesce with thank you. police in germany have shut down the second largest criminal trading platform on the so-called doc and that they wall street markets delta narcotics and stolen data three suspected masterminds of been arrested 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 where arrested more than a week ago. what it is i mean 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 and all . the platform is said to have had a turnover of more than forty million euros with one million if that ending up in the three operators 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 tide by times on wall street markets were not purchased with real money but with so-called crypto currency digital seemingly anonymous currencies getting access to the 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 investigators in the u.s. have also brought charges against the three suspected wall street market administrators. well german chancellor angela merkel is coming to the end of a brief three nation tour of west africa where she's been supporting the fight against terrorism in mali. last stop was where she met as president and

visited an e.u. training mission. the german chancellor came to new jr with a broad agenda she visited a woman's shelter and discussed islamist terrorism with new cherian president mohamed do. but her visit to a police training center made it clear that the government still has the recent migration crisis on its radar. we see that is necessary to happen well trained police force for the fight against illegal migration also against drugs and weapon trafficking because the smugglers and traffickers are also very well equipped technically. america had already visited mali and burkina faso which along with nice hair are part of the sahara region separating the sahara north of africa from the south the sahara was a key transit region for trade and smuggling as well as people trying to get to europe. president mohamed who said his country had made great strides helping quell

the migration crisis if you didn't go with the flow of migrants going through in asia has decreased today i believe and the interior minister whom you mentioned earlier will correct me if i'm wrong there are roughly five thousand to ten thousand migrants per year. so we have reduced the flow of migrants almost ten fold thanks to the efforts that have been made. with the migration crisis seemingly under control some are afraid this a hell region will become less important to europe a message americans visit is meant to counter. a north korea is running out of food 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 healthiest. farmers in the southwestern corner

of north korea were planting rice when u.n. officials passed through in early april but shortages of fertiliser 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 to be hydrated barley fields the countryside to struggling to recover after months of extreme weather. back from the field. to households farmers. holes 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 and floods this year as about impacting the crop production. many people try to help themselves this woman has a small digital garden and resists chickens but most of the year she survives on a diet of rice and can. it's 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 in danger of our children young children and women pregnant women and like dating women the world food program provides food aid to almost eight 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 cranes 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. so go get some football and there are just three much weekends left in the bones as they get season on the back of the championship is as tight as it's ever been munich just

a two points ahead of dortmund meaning that lead could change this weekend in third place is live so you can see here white also have a mathematical chance of winning the title. one six consecutive bronze league matches and will have a good chance of extending that winning streak tonight against meit's tomorrow dortmund will have a tough match at bremen host last place. so potentially decisive weekend in the bundesliga and also in the english premier league and even he can talk history welcome at lehman like six four is problematic for german football fans so which is likely to give them a bigger nightmare is buying 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 on. of buying this

success so and yes i know this also sounds absurd but mathematically life 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 droppings on many points but 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 their argument. dortmund's 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 threatened to hand over and if he's really gay should threaten sites that give you the most trouble this time of the season then you're up against an in-form like sick and then on the final day they face an tatang ford and frankfurt we all know are aiming for the top four finish. the last all because to win the board 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 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 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 home 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 a bit but where they retired from that office in the champions league well that also is that it's also a 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 here not impossible. his reminder of the top story. in this our own funny has hit northeast india lashing beaches with rain a hundred winds gusting more than two hundred kilometers an hour say at least three people have died and more than a million people have been moved to safety. coming up next news a show. of all of the ways to get the king of tigers carnation will explain why this royal fat decided to walk. out on world press freedom day we meet journalists in asia they face persecution and imprisonment but doing their
