5:02 pm
is determined to keep the iran nuclear deal alive after washington redrew from the pact and really impose sanctions on iran the u.s. is urging the e.u. to back its hard line position and walk away from the deal. now for more on the story i'm joined by political analyst at the on the job he's with the brookings doha center welcome to you know the u.s. and the e.u. on opposite ends of this iran nuclear deal what is mike pompeo doing in dresses well i mean the 2 sides have been passing ways in terms of iran policy for at least a year now but now with the recent you know signs of escalation over the past few weeks i think there is a growing concern among european policymakers about a potential escalation between us i lied in iran and allied forces in that region so i think what the separate pump people can do is to re i trade the point that he
5:03 pm
made earlier that the u.s. is not after a military conflict in the region so i think this would be an important message that you could send to the europeans now you shant possibly be drew from the nuclear deal last rican some and to see this is a carefully calibrated response by iran in reaction to the washington aimed at actually getting the e.u. against washington and sanctions and lifting sanctions on iran can the new kid in this context be salvaged well it's very difficult because so in 60 days iran will restart its. enrichment around 20 percent and if this happens we're going to see a resurgence of the iran nuclear crisis and this will be that troublesome for europe because in such a context will be very difficult to continue the kind of diplomatic and political support because of aid to iran but the europeans can do something with annex. 660

5:05 pm
story yet but it is interesting to see that this t.v. station that is iran and financed has been reporting about this incident you know quite early on before it became you know international news and i think the larger picture is that both in the united states as well as in iran there are hard line elements would be interested in some kind of a military confrontation but it doesn't mean that at the same time we're seeing with the super interesting and important over the past few weeks is that there is from both sides also some kind of outreach signals that there are willing to talk to the other side which is also quite new so i think what is happening right now is that both sides are poking to you know to to ameliorate their standing in any future negotiations so you see this is a form of political brinkmanship but we've got the german foreign minister who is in brussels as well for these talks of the e.u. talk about being pretty wide about these. it was always seen and escalation of
5:06 pm
tensions in the region and one of the implications well i think i mean there is you know concern among european policymakers in some quarters you see a lot of alarmism i think you know it remains the fact that both sides us under wrong. have a lot to lose when they engage in the last game of the trick confrontation right before that and they judge from the brookings doha center thank you very much for your analysis thank you. let me not being up to date but some of the stories making news around the world in syria thousands of families a fleeing to airstrikes hit across rebel enclaves in it and hamas province's syrian government forces began advancing on the region late last month human rights observers say more than 300 people have been killed in the offensive. swedish prosecutors say they reopen a rape case against wiki leaks founder julian assange and they will seek his

5:12 pm
u.s. and the global economy well if you look right now at how markets are responding you can see that both sides of the equation are suffering the renminbi which is the chinese currency has suffered its biggest one day last since august and you can see in the in the states you can see the wall street major indexes down the nasdaq are both down significantly those that are suffering especially exporters like boeing like caterpillar which makes heavy equipment also tech stocks you're facebook's apples and then chip makers who stand to suffer also from major export tariffs you know what's interesting here is that china can't really match the u.s. dollar for dollar on these tariffs the u.s. can always put more tariffs on more dollars worth of goods but the chinese can still hurt them and this is also a further sign that this thing isn't solved and of course the big fear is that you get into a trade war which then sort of circulates wider and wider than just the 2 countries exactly because so few people risk all of this a trade dispute but do the stick for tat kind of tag of some mean that we're heading to was a trade will only think of
5:13 pm
a trade what we think of is that tit for tat we're going back and forth and then other players really have to chime in because they stand to lose as well so if the flow of goods are directed elsewhere into the e.u. for example then maybe countries are putting up their own trade barriers to protect their own industries they say you know all these exports which were heading to the u.s. are now redirected we have to protect our own industries and so you see sort of all these trade barriers start to rise and that's the big fear in the trade war and obviously going back and forth not really being able to work out a deal raises the possibility that it can just be taken too far and even if there is a deal believed to be at the heart of this somewhere then it becomes more of an issue of saving face and that both sides can't really do that and that instead they're just going to fatah forever so where do you see this going well that's the thing we don't know the u.s. says is actually preparing more tariffs. on another $300000000000.00 worth of chinese goods beginning today it's going to make a list public of what it might target of course would be another escalation of this
5:14 pm
we also know there's no further dates for trade talks that's not a good sign so the 2 things are going to be watching are there going to be further tariffs and are there going to be further talks actually resume this what's interesting is that both sides have built in a little bit of time as you just mentioned a moment ago june 1st on the chinese side also on the u.s. side there's going to be a few more weeks before those tariffs take place so they're both built in some time to hopefully try and resolve this thing and markets will of course be watching very very closely including hugh stephen. from business thank you very much for your assessment. the books of clothes in the philippines where millions have been voting in the midterm elections and as of president. expected to do well which should strengthen his grip on power house the seats in the country senate for grabs which means a good result could have details to change the country's constitution he's also promised to reintroduce the death penalty for drug related crimes
5:15 pm
a spot of his why do one drugs has. his name may not even be on the ballot paper but there's no doubt these midterm elections are all about him this is a referendum on president do to have to say and his controversial rules. millions of filipinos follow that lead and turned out to vote many for the candidates who have his backing. i want to do and change the people who will really help our president. going astray should but i also voted for a few from the opposition so that would be checks and balances. when president attaching came in. crying was cut to 70 percent depression. but not everyone is happy with a man who proudly launched a brutal crackdown on illegal drugs. last. hitler
5:16 pm
massacred 3000000 jews. we have $3000000.00 drug addicts it would be a pleasure to slaughter them. thousands of being killed in due tatties war on drugs including this man's nephew kyin delos son tell us he was shot by police and found here. we should choose a candidate who respects human lives. about someone who appreciates human rights him up and is ready to fight for the poor like us about only a guy and i mean we're seeing that the people who are killed are only the poor. papa. detent today has also denounced human rights and put journalists and press freedoms on his list of enemies but above it has been some international condemnation he successfully courted other populous leaders like us president
5:17 pm
donald trump. even serenading him. do tatay now expects to seal his own domestic political power through these elections for a new senate isn't local officials whatever the opposition most believe it's already a done deal. and not joined by congress conda a researcher for human rights watch is asia division on us as we heard in our report present a tear to is not on the ballot paper so from your perspective what does this vote mean for his palace and human rights in general in the philippines. this basically yes or a friend i'm on issues 3 or year old range so far or so people are voting. affirming the past 3 years or paternalism this tradition and so are these
5:18 pm
will mean that you will have greater control of the just a chair and also up particularly in the local governments in the cities and towns where he's popular you can reign so i am so he he and use methods for example. the drug war will be. will be affirmed by this election now his promise is to deal with drug traffickers have a controversial human dress to what extent are human rights a concern for voters in the philippines. well generally because of his popularity human rights as a companion issue was not that significant although the political opposition was trying very hard to put a human rights agenda since the election unfortunately that seems to work early the source that we're seeing so far. those candidates from the political opposition who espouse human rights have are not making it in the tally so while human rights
5:19 pm
human rights because of the drug war use widespread in the philippines barny filipinos that choose to embrace. their dismissal. from your perspective how free and fair would these elections. based on the reported we're seeing in the money during that we're doing it seems to be fair and honest and free although there are incidents of for instance intimidation by. bipartisan political parties and even there have been reports of partisanship even by the even by the philippine national police there seems to be generally a kind of the election was fair and. remains to be seen whether the canvassing of the votes to move proceed smoothly the expected but so
5:20 pm
far there hasn't been any. untoward incident regarding regarding the conduct of the election now you have a background in journalism what is the situation like for justice and human rights activists in the philippines. well journalists and human rights defenders in the philippines are very much under attack by this government especially those who are critical of the drug war are such as human rights watch and rock that site for the center for the state of the journalism and many other members of the press and this is something that president herbert him sort of us not backing them obviously trying to undermine them so while media and of the libyans are still free to do what they have to do they are under tremendous. attacked by the government. propaganda some trolls and social media because it's going to from human rights
5:21 pm
watch in manila thank you very much for talking to you thank you and today marks the 75th anniversary of the little known chapter in nazi germany's history agus temple led raid on hamburg chinese community the raid on may 13th 1944 led to a number of arrests and eventually the deaths of more than a dozen chinese residents after the war the german government never compensated the victims or their descendants but some are now trying to ensure this story is never forgotten. but 77 marietta solti is one of the oldest bar owners and some to polly notorious red light district. few customers realize that her hong kong bar is a piece of german chinese history in the $1920.00 s. hundreds of chinese sailors employed in the german merchant navy settled in hamburg they opened up shops and restaurants establishing germany's 1st and only chinatown
5:22 pm
in the city's lively entertainment district. the bar opened by marriott his father was also a restaurant if i leave and i met you we had as zest for life i felt at home here you had german friends and if you knew someone was down and out he'd let them dying free of charge. but the chinese communities peaceful coexistence ended with the rise of the nazis who branded unions between chinese men and german women as race defilement. the persecution intensified in may 1904 with the gestapo raid known as the chinese action historian lars amanda has documented the brutality used by the police and the gestapo during the operation. because i'm getting the ongoing total $129.00 men were arrested and beaten as they were taken to this police station from here they were transferred to the gestapo prison at foods booth where they were held for months. and 17 chinese prisoners died his father
5:23 pm
survived but he never received compensation after the war the german restitution office classified the chinese action as a routine police operation lars amanda calls that a mistake as this is the surviving documentation shows very clearly that gestapo offices saw themselves as some kind of racial warriors who get to extend the nazis policies of racial purity to hamburg's resident chinese population. mariota has come to terms with germany's refusal to compensate her father. today it's the resurgence of the far right that she's worried about. it makes me furious that people have learned nothing from history on the contrary history is repeating itself to completely generation should be making sure that the younger generation knows what really happened so it never happens again. maria to speak openly about her family's past so that the story of her father and her last chinatown
