on a warm welcome to you i'm not that she. they faced seventy years in prison but sadly they are free to reuters journalists jailed for their reporting on the rocking a crisis a knee and ma have been released a spot of a presidential amnesty while lone and arrested in december two thousand and seventeen and the case prompted a global outcry by human rights campaign as. free after more than five hundred days in detention following the arrests wallonia just became international figureheads in the struggle for press freedom they were convicted of breaking the official secrets act for their coverage of the massacre of ten during your muslims in myanmar speaking shortly after their release told reporters he was keen to get back to work side every day in an on going around the old regime to resistance

like this is banking. on really happy families. and i can wish you good news right now right now reuters said the two men which ailed in retaliation for their reporting and have not committed any crime. we are enormously pleased that mean war has released our courageous reporters wallowing and tossed so since their arrest five hundred eleven days ago become symbols of the importance of press freedom around the world we welcome their return. their case through international criticism and put the spotlight on myanmar state council and de facto leader aung san suu kyi who was already under pressure for the oppression of the reunion minority u.n. investigators said it amounted to genocide. the release of the two men comes at a time of year when it is traditional for the president to crown amnesties to prisoners today they are back with their families but the future of press freedom

in myanmar is unclear. joining me now on the line is a freelance journalist david gergen a bomb he's in young one david you been working in man law for many years and you've also been following this trial as a journalist what's your reaction to the release of these two reuters journalists. my first reaction is just release and happiness for them and their families of this nightmare than being over that's my first reaction but then on the on the back side of that but back to the patient had never been in prison they should have never been arrested in the first place from the one to the trial and there was a police captain with a prosecution witness who came out in the trial and testified that he and other policeman was ordered to plant documents and entrap the two journalists so it was just compelling evidence that there was of entrapment and that it was very clear that these two were basically directed to permit reporting on that massacre that we

just heard about the nazis before and that led to them getting the pulitzer prize a prestigious award of journalism. never been arrested in the first place and they did their release seems to have taken many people by surprise do we know why there was a sudden even ease with a presidential amnesty. of your son before that there's a time a year when we do have a guarantee of going on for many cases and in the last weeks or using i was right on the birmingham new year which was several weeks ago and i'm asking we think out of the people who get lead you know they were not in the early days though exactly why were they in the days groups it's not really clear at this time why although it was by their time in the discussions going on for well over a year really they were record in december two thousand and seventeen that involved the united nations that involved represent many different governments and of course involved reuters the discussion really going on for a long time but why this was the day when i'm happy is really where.

conditions like saluki justice is looking in a man. who might well i mean look at you know the man our national monument is before journal because there is definitely a climate of fear for many of the not because of what happened to workers reporters but. girvin the number of local reporters who were afraid one truth better than you know the media narrative come out of them on the army promising the local police i think i missed them on the very little usually involve the coverage of what's going on at work i mean it's not about that we're going to cry for you know there is another bottom line you a thing going on there that involve the military on the ground my bird there and very often the coverage of that as on that the security forces so there's a lot of local reporters here who are very concerned about anything that could really upset the country's security forces and how they might before i'm going to the local reporters in myanmar national the climate of fear for many of them. and

david good embalm in a young gun thank you very much for that update from there. not a major political controversy in tookie election officials have thrown out the result of the vote off the met office john boehner to case president that if they don't had suffered a humiliating defeat in the vote his ruling party won the look in elections over all but the last key american police in istanbul and the capital his body then challenge the legitimacy of the results now a new vote has been shed for next month. rising into the nighttime sky the din of protest banging crockery against pots system or residents expressed their dismay at the rerun of mayoral elections had an impromptu rally on the outskirts of istanbul the winner of the election vowed to fight on live. my fellow citizens that are trying to take away the elections we won on the evening of

march the thirty first they have tried to steal our hard work. their name is here show mertz rather still. to this day we really written back our rights with a smile on our face as well as hope love and respect. his supporters had been see them with anger all day. this is a preplanned game and the election authority is a part of it what else can i say and this decision doesn't represent voters it clearly has been made ignoring the people's will. can they didn't know this came from somebody who doesn't want to lose his power so it's no surprise the vote should not have been cancelled. these. perhaps also unsurprisingly the losing candidate disagreed. why have the elections gone to the electoral board. because of the irregularities the wrongdoing has the cheats and stain

happens during and after the elections we have detected. that. after his justice and development party lost control of both istanbul and the capital ankara president had put increasing pressure on the supreme electoral council he delivered his latest broadside on sunday or every show i've ever watched or has been cheating has been corruption all this is clear unambiguous you know come on let's go before the people and we will accept what the people's wish to take. is the simple as that. but on monday night the people of istanbul gave their response to claim that he's acting in their interest. and he did his correspondent joe johns joins me now from istanbul durrant edge on has just lashed

out at critics still questioning having a rebuttal to lection for the marathon what what is the basis of his canes that the election was rigged. yes president won in a very impassioned speech lashed out at this istanbul vote saying that it was a victim of circles of evil and corruption that took the victory away from them he then also targeted turkey's powerful business community saying a should know their place and that's because several leading figures within turkey's business leaders have been voicing concerns over a revote on also said that there was economic terrorism going on in the country the turkish currency has fallen steeply following the announcement of a revolt and he shewed a warning saying he knows who's responsible and they will be dealt with like any terrorist adding to i think concerns of the opposition is that he says that shortcomings in the law would be addressed present one has sweeping powers that he can introduce or any real reform ahead of the vote which will add to fears that he

could plan to change the rules of the game ahead of this key vote so they strong words from. dorian and there's a lot of anger on the streets of istanbul as we saw in our report what is the opposition's strategy expected to be ahead of the region on june twenty eighth. well the opposition c.h.p. leadership are still meeting they held meetings last night and those meetings are still continuing today about what their strategy will be is understood of one item only changes a possible boycott of the vote and possibly even withdrawal from parliament there has been voicing growing calls within the party saying that these democracies basically failed in turkey and if you participate all you are doing is legitimizing a broken system at the same time from a more local did when the vote has been on the offensive he's been continuing his policy of of condemning the vote at the same time reaching out to all sections of society with a message of of inclusive and he has received important boost three minor parties

or participated in these town halls are reportedly announcing that they will withdraw in the next vote and offer support to him all of those folks amounted to around a hundred and forty thousand votes that's ten times the margin that the one so that is an important boost and will make the difference make the task burdwan even greater and the condemnation of the returns are also being echoed in international circles as undermining democracy in the country under how much pressure is the judiciary in turkey from and his government well ever since early one assumed the sweeping executive powers two years ago monger inclusive power to appoint many of turkey's leading judges and there has been concerns of the judiciary he's basically under the control of the presidency now that is the knife but there is this fear that the judiciary is no longer independent and the eleven judges that did make this announcement to another vote most of those were appointed by earth one and his government and the fact that they

have taken a decision is widely condemned and seen as being very partisan will add to concerns over the impartiality of the judiciary. during jails in istanbul thank you very much for that. let me bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world for prances a celebrated mass in north macedonia the country is also dr christian but people of all faiths to welcome the pope who's been touring. he's the highest profile visitor complex country agreed to change its name two decades and to end a decades long dispute with neighboring greece. as acting police chief says all the suspected plotters in the east of bombings have been arrested or are dead more than two hundred and fifty people died in those attacks which have been claimed by so-called islamic states and were carried out by local radical groups. just dozens of people stage a demonstration outside india supreme court after

two he is a member of the german council off experts on the integration and migration council and he's on the go all to us of the report which is just being released welcome to you now of a scene from the perspective of today how well did jimmy cool with what was then in two thousand and fifteen described as a refugee crisis i wouldn't describe it as a refugee crisis it was more of a policy crisis in the sense that both germany and the europeans didn't have adequate procedures and instruments in place to give the the mess influx of hundreds of thousands of refugees and if we look back at the policy ever since they have been very good on the integration front as you just described we have many people in the labor market but there is some merit to be done at the european level reform of asylum policy in europe is not moving forward the case would many people would remember from back two thousand and fifteen is the way the refugees were welcomed and people talk about this welcoming but now the debate seems to have

changed there or people who are talking about looking at ways to get rid of these people have the specter of on refugees change in germany the export council has analyzed public opinion consistently throughout the past us and what the upset if is that on the whole of public opinion to what's immigration as such has not changed much there are some subtle changes they are bit more critical of refugees and of course nowadays they also talk about those who have to return to their country of origin there if it's kept to kill that the government isn't doing enough in that field but on the whole we find that public opinion has accepted that immigration is an integral part of germany nowadays what you put it what the talks about the rise of hate crimes against asylum seekers and refugees that's true we analyzed crime both against micron's and refugees and also criminality by my quince and refugees and on both fronts we find

a slight increase so what. policy should be doing is they should address it but obviously it's only a minority in both fronts on the whole public opinion in germany is very stable although of course we have to deal with this minorities and looking at your report and you must have also perhaps looked at solutions where things could be better did your report recommend any areas where integration could be improved adopting policies and laws which would work better indeed it's very important to us that immigration is not only about refugees and asylum seekers but that immigration is also about skilled migrants who want to come to germany from abroad and parliament but this week a new bill to attract highly qualified micron's for mike for economic purposes and at the same time the reform of the european asylum system is a feat of which really has to move forward after the european elections germany cannot do it alone but germany must take the lead with other european countries in

fighting a sustainable solution at the european level and the survey important element in the debate a done had him a member of the german council on affects votes on integration migration akula thought that report has just been released thank you so much for coming in. ok let's go back to that report which i was just mentioning it was not all good news on the downside the incidence of heat crimes against migrants increase dramatically as i mentioned peaking in two thousand and sixteen there's also been an increase in negative attitudes towards migrants an asylum seeker has got a spot and visited a church in the eastern german city of leipzig to talk to someone who was doing his best to help integrate the new arrivals have a look. past year under his door and at work in his life parish. oh that's right. twenty fifteen thousands of refugees arrived in my pick and ever since pastor dorn has been offering them support he helps them find apartments goes

with them to official appointments and teaches them german but some criticize his engagement. they say things like you know taking care of the wrong people we should be focused why are you helping refugees you should be helping needy germans fast forbore to our. door and says all of his parishioners stand behind him the congregation has a get together cafe for refugees and germans that has been popular for years how much migration can germany handle asylum seekers are now seen in a more negative light than they previously were still most of the refugees here at zouk cafe say they feel it ease in leipsic but they all have stories about times when they were overtly rejected. alyssa. as a workman you meet a lot of people on construction sites i walked by a plumber every day and he always gave me

a funny look and then. i made a point of saying hello to his colleagues he looked at me and said what are you refugees want here. is. it saddens me because the german constitution is first article states that human dignity shall be inviolable . but i often hear people say always those refugees as refugees. refugees just got a bit of breathing space they could show how creative they are. both of these syrians say what is lacking is real human contact they think germans showed more interest just a couple of years ago but when there is no actual contact prejudice rears its ugly head pastor door knows that even within his own liberal parish there are people who have a very critical view of the refugees in their city but no one wants to talk to us

about this perhaps because the pastor has said he will not tolerate right wing slogans in his church. this is not a point i'm prepared to compromise on. as a preacher i'm quite prepared to argue that with endless public debates if need be . andrea storen says that if you want to stop right wing attitudes you need citizens to be active and vocal he's done just that in his parish. thank you mr secretary of state mike pompey all have council just planned trip to berlin at short notice that he was expected here later today the u.s. embassy in berlin said the visit had to be postponed due to urgent matters u.s. president donald trump's chief diplomat was in finland early in the day to take part in a meeting of foreign ministers of the arctic council and he was should you to meet german foreign minister heikal moscow and chancellor angela merkel the german

capital. joining me now from up on i'm interested in this is our political correspondent hans brand hans evo or said to welcome a secretary of state pumping you in but when but he can fill it up with full and history about it was communicated in a very unusual way what was unusual is that there simply no information basically that was a very barren statement from the german chancellor you have pompei it was not coming there is a twitter statement that is being circulated by the u.s. embassy by the pump air spokes person saying that simply that his trip has been counseled because of other pressing matters but there's no information about what those other pressing matters might be and obviously a pump is meant to go on from berlin was when to go on from bowden to london to spend a day in london and then to greenland to spend a day in greenland it's very unclear whether those parts of the trip are going to continue or not so we're very much left up in the air and it's

a lot of questions being asked about what's behind this sudden consolation that might well be a spin the u.s. secretary of state for more than a year now you didn't come to the munich security council conference which is a big high profile event that he's canceled or postponed this meeting at short notice it makes you wonder is there an explanation. there is no explanation that we know of at the moment obviously there are increasing tensions of there are considerable tensions between germany and the united states a concern for instance the russian gas pipeline being built in the north in the in the baltic sea towards to any there was a concern differences of opinion on iran they concern differences of opinion on how much should spend on all moments on it's rather and they said also things to be discussed but we don't know whether these are actually a background to this consolation. strong is upon i'm interested yes thank you. all it live in an age when we have some sort of digital footprint better ever been

able to use the internet of the social media some aspects of our identity a stored online official intelligence i can explore with that data and many different ways some of those v.a.'s are of questionable morality so scientists at dom's shot university here in germany are trying to work out if they can teach it i'm machines some sort of modern code should like to people. no this is a bad thing to do for the current time. yes why not the moral choice machine analyzes masses of texts written by humans and determines which combinations of words appear together most often its answers based on that analysis. make a distinction kill time or kill people that means that the machine has acquired a kind of context within a sentence it's a small step but it shows that it could possibly be taken further maybe we can go

further like this. but the question is how far is it possible to go so far that machines have a human moral compass and can make decisions independently based on that. is a sociologist at the go to university in frankfurt he doubts that machines will ever be able to be fair. on the force of will we have to abandon the notion that artificial intelligence or algorithms create inequality and injustice it's always the people behind it who allow it to be that way. but applied correctly these technologies can offer opportunities for the future and could even help to fight prejudices for instance by ensuring that when women in my new social networking they aren't shown different job listings based on gender or by making sure that the job application process is as anonymous as possible things like that could be applied sensibly with the moral choice machine in darmstadt also shows that if people wanted to the machine can be used for good and it shows that it's going to

take some time before artificial intelligence functions perfectly. this is debatable maybe you want to ask also someone else. am i going to ask about toast see if you get a positive answer. should i put toast into the toast. now this is not good. and i'll have to make some improvements there is. i don't really see a competition but rather a partnership with which we can tackle a lot of the major social issues on income. correctly programmed to artificial intelligence can incorporate human values and that's important so that in the future only fred winds up in the toaster not the hamster. his recount the top story that we're following for you on g w two reuters

journalists and jailed in myanmar for their reporting of returning of crisis have been freed under a presidential amnesty following and quite so or have had been sentenced to seven years in prison they can spot a global campaign of it. up next in the duggar kickoff reveals the blunders legalisms matchday pledging to stay with us if you get.
