a global outcry. free after more than five hundred days in detention following the arrests while lone and 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 one lone told reporters he was keen to get back to work side in everything and also turning around the whole issue to resistance to my pursuit thank you very much i'm really happy that my colleague that i can with my use right now right now reuters said the two men were jailed 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 they have 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 grant amnesty to prisoners to dating a back with their families but the future of press freedom in myanmar is unclear. phil robertson is deputy asia director for human rights watch and joins us from the malaysian capital quantum welcome to d.w. why do you think least a man have been why didn't these men have been released. two words international pressure this is all about the international community campaigning for these two men reuters did an incredible job pressing for their release taking this issue and putting it before policymakers of the global level and making this

a test case for press freedom in myanmar so. if this is a test case for press freedom in the country does not mean that the situation for journalists in me and mine is not better sadly no the reality is that there are many other journalists who are still in facing persecution some are in prison and many of them are much less well known than these two individuals we have a lot of work in front of us the situation for press freedom in riyadh maher has definitely declined over the past year we're seeing more and more people prosecuted both the military and the civilian government santucci are involved in this and you know this is the lead up to a twenty twenty alexion the national election where you know the level of rhetoric and the vitriol will get much more intense so we're expecting that unless something is done to really protect press freedom in myanmar we're going to see many more

people being forced to prison for what they've written so why is the situation that is so bad we expected things to get better with cheney in charge what we just naive. i think that's part of it i think that unfortunately the national league for democracy despite the fact that it's composed of many former political prisoners have gotten a taste for being able to censor their critics are willing to use these draconian laws that were used in the past against them against their critics you know it's astonishing to us but we're continuing to me and the national league for democracy stand up respect rights promote democracy and take these repressive laws off the book with their supermajority in the parliament so the repressive laws stay for the moment does this mean that journalists will continue to to have to censor

themselves or face of being censored or jailed unless there is an international can fulfill about them being jailed that's correct i mean the situation is that there is quite a bit of self-censorship if you talk to journalists in myanmar they will say that they think twice about writing critical stories about the military which has become very very active in suing journalists but the also the bigger issue is that we are facing. you know a number of creators journalists like these two people who are prepared to go ahead and they're willing to fight and they deserve our support so we need the diplomats we need the german government we need the united nations we need others prepared to fight for press freedom in myanmar good talking to thank you for joining us bill robertson from the human rights watch in kuala. let's take a look now at some of the stories making news around the world these fourth

grandchild was formed britain's prince charles has begun a four day visit to germany company by his wife camilla but they will receive i mean a makeover and chad's right charles will also due to visit the eastern city of leipzig and the very capital. meanwhile u.s. secretary of state might pompei has canceled his plans trip to berlin at short notice he was expected here today the u.s. embassy visits have been postponed due to urgent matters newsagency cites international security issues as the reason. prosecutors avoid a german comic a porsche to pay a five hundred thirty five million euro fine for exceeding pollution limits on its luxury high performance vehicles a. v.w. subsidiary audi and to pay similar fines for their roles and missions cheating scandal. has been urging the united states and china to set

aside their trade differences their organizations managing director christine lagarde won't in paris that's clearly the tensions between the united states and china the threat for the world economy president donald trump jolted markets start of the week but he threatened to tariffs on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese imports increase on friday to twenty five percent in the current level of ten percent. china analyst a cliff and. cliff it. christine the got so worried and i think what we've had for the last few months of the two biggest economies in the world slugging it out on the world stage without really looking around them in a way has been quite a lot of collateral damage in terms of the amount of uncertainty is generation and people are wondering how things are going to develop so it's kind of a wake up call from the i.m.f. maybe to remind the u.s. and china that there are other interests involved that also need to be addressed

and for them to find a solution that seems like a pointless call given that i'm guessing neither of them is really going to listen they are already in negotiations the united states and china so why has the u.s. . this increased given the best. well i think it goes back to a little bit donald trump you know very much as a master negotiator had a you know the art of the deal and all that he sort of sees the possibility here that he can maybe win points and also he's coming from position of strength because the economy there is doing very well. so i think it's a negotiation tactic and also relates to other issues that are possibly happening in china that could be you know we don't know what's coming from the outside because of this lot of secrecy there and so how is china likely to respond to this well we've seen the state media they've been saying we won't budge an inch and we're not going to give any more concessions the story earlier in the week that was coming out was that they were going to they were going to the talks agreeing

concessions then going back to beijing and then she jinping was saying we're not going to agree to those on issues like technology transfer and intellectual property so it will boil down to how much the chinese are prepared to concede i think on these key issues in the trade talks it's simple that china would say that we're not going to concede it fester a lot of the negotiating table well i think they're coming from a position of strength as well or they see themselves as coming from business just strength they've also got to present a picture is their domestic audience out there that they're strong so i think ultimately both sides are going to have to give something i think obviously china is going to have to give a bit more because it's on the back foot or the little bit so it's a question of how they manage the message i think in some ways before they can reach a deal very clear clear couldn't thank you now a new survey here in germany has found that people are increasingly hostile towards asylum seekers well than fifty four percent of participants expressed negative

opinions germany is attempting to integrate hundreds of thousands of recent arrivals has been to base of postell in the eastern city of leipzig who's helping the newcomers and trying to counter the anti foreigner sentiment in his community. pastor andreas dorn at work in his life parish. oh that's right. twenty fifteen thousands of refugees arrived in my peak 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 at ease in leipsic but they all have stories about times when they were overtly rejected a listen vick a. lot of them 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. i made a point of saying hello to his colleagues he looked at me and said what all you refugees want to hear. 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 but 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.

where we use the internet or social media. aspects of identity are often stored online artificial intelligence can exploit that dates are in various ways some of which are morally questionable so scientists that darmstadt university here in germany are trying to teach i have machines a moral code should like people. no this is a bad thing to do should i could type. yes why not the moral choice machine analyzes masses of texts written by humans and determines which combinations of words appear together most often it's answers based on that analysis to 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 but 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. we have to abandon the notion that artificial intelligence or algorithms create inequality and injustice aside it's always the people behind it who are allowed 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 not amiss as possible things like that could be applied sensibly. 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. into the toaster. this is

debatable maybe you want to ask also someone else. i might ask about toast see if you get a positive answer. should i put toast into the toast. this is not good. enough 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. correctly programmed artificial intelligence can incorporate human values and that's important so that in the future only fred winds up in the toaster and not the hamster. is the tune young is the camp is only female paralympic athletes as she was the national team's the flag bearer at the london twenty twelve games and her next goal is to represent her country in tokyo next year

a single mother of two competes in white lifting athletics and basketball is the only woman in her wheelchair basketball team in other words she is determined to push the boundaries to prove what people with disabilities can do. he said two nyang is began because only female paralympic athlete she was born with an impairment and both her legs four times a week plays basketball the training a chance to bond with other disabled people who often feel ostracized from society many gambians feel that men and women should not train together but he said who sees it differently. but the basketball players hope that one day they will all be able to compete at the powerline pick games together at the moment there aren't enough funds to send the whole team abroad the gambia provides no money for power and pick our fleet meaning they rely on sponsors to fund their travels and training.
