government has imposed a nighttime curfew the government has also set about blocking some social media platforms hoping to stem the anger but anti muslim violence is becoming more frequent and it's increasingly clear the sri lankan government has to step up its efforts to contain it for more on the story we can speak to rookie fernando a human rights activist who joins us from and the sri lankan capital colombo ok thank you so much for joining us now a curfew has been issued for a 2nd night and we're hearing that security forces have intensified their patrols in areas that have been hit hard by this ethnic violence is that helping. well we hope we will hope last night we saw that the curfew didn't do much during the resource overall incidences that were happening anyone actually a couple of days of war are only gamble when there was some violence the night you went out of the curfew was in was we heard of mobs roaming around with sticks and

nor different forms of weapons which were used to attack muslim hauser's so we hope that today the curfew will actually be meaningful and it will be used by the police and the armed forces us to stop violence and poorest people who are responsible look at who is responsible we keep talking about angry mob seeing pictures of large crowds who was behind this and i was on violence then how much has social media played a role. well we've seen that couple of people have been arrested and some of these people who've been arrested down. in order and. these are people who will be known to have been behind rowland's against muslims before there are people who've been arrested before by the police so it seems that similar things that we've seen in the past in terms of violence against muslims is repeating itself. so of course there are local mobs involved also but these particular people that i mentioned and it will be not already arrested are not necessary from the local area ok from your

perspective there do you think authorities are taking the right steps to stop this violence. will clearly work the authorities have done so far is not sufficient that's allowed to get out of and particularly yesterday and yesterday night that's why violent incidents continue to happen in your ink a few hours and you see in the industry one can police force the sri lankan armed forces on a fairly liberal you know attacking protest by university students and there is a live groups who are protesting against grievances but there seem very constrained in attacking and i am once. a muslim shops and mosques and. what about among the general public a month amongst the lankans working what needs to be done there to. the tensions it's been less than a month since the easter sunday bombings. so on one hand i think the law enforcement agencies need to step up their act in violence actually happening on the other hand they think there has to be a guarantee of accountability and i think if there was accountability for previous

incidents of violence against muslims and stands and other minorities maybe may not have seen what we saw in the last couple of days and particularly last night about in addition to the legal and you know i think the government found also that we just feel gee we used to engage in a lot of public outreach to explain to people particularly singhalese both christians and buddhists that muslims are not fairies that we need to boyd this with muslims and the muslims are being at the receiving end of a lot of violence and discrimination. by cooky fernando a human rights activist joining us from colombo thank you so much for sharing your insights with us today thank you now to some other stories making headlines around the world unofficial results in the philippines midterm vote point to a boost for president but we're going to tear to his allies lead the tallies for all 12 contested seats in the senate a new majority could allow deter to bring back capital punishment as part of his controversial war in drugs saudi arabia's energy minister says armed drones were

used to attack facilities in the riyadh region state security is also reported an attack on a pipeline that runs to the port city of beyond will iran back to the rebels in yemen have claimed responsibility for the attacks. a california jury has awarded more than $2000000000.00 to a couple who claimed that monsanto's a round of weed killer cost their cancer they used for more than $3.00 decades at their home and other properties german chemicals giant buyer acquired monsanto last year. u.s. secretary of state my pump aoa said that president trump is committed to improving relations with russia pompei was on a visit to the black sea resort of sochi for talks with russian leaders including foreign minister sergei lavrov he's then due to meet with president putin now in the past half hour the 2 men have been delivering their opening statements pledging dialogue. i'm here

today because president trump is committed to improving this relationship. as as i think he said we have differences we each country will protect its own interests look out for its own interests of its people. but it's not it's not just that we were adversaries on every issue and i hope that we can find places where we have a set of overlapping interests. moscow correspondent mia drug storage is following these talks for as jaime oh so it's a reassuring words there from my palm pale but what actions are we expecting i don't think that there will see any actions today after that meeting because both countries really got completely different interests right now and so a lot what's on their agenda right now it's that they will talk about venezuela they will talk about syria the situation in ukraine north korea is a big issue iran of course the i never treat you the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty both countries have terminated those i think very important treaty is

russia willing to release paul wieland for memory and he has been detained here in moscow on suspicion on s.p.l. national crime that carries a prison sentence of up to 20 years so as you can see there's a lot on their plate. one of the items on their plate to me oh is iran we heard europeans yesterday warning of war between washington and tehran is there a chance that these talks could actually deescalate tensions. i don't think so because moscow is really supporting its ally most important allies to say in the middle east and that is wrong both countries are fighting together in syria side by side with president assad fighting the terrorism in this country and i don't think that russia's going is willing is willing to support america on that issue america would like to see a regime change in tehran and i don't think that this is in the interest of moscow right now what about the russia u.s.

relationship in general you know president trump entered office saying he wants to improve that relationship has it improved. i don't think so because right now the democrats still have a majority have a majority in the house and as long as democrats are controlling congress i don't think that they are willing to accept any sort of improvement. in their relationship but do you remember when president obama called russia a so-called regional power meaning it's not a global power anymore and u.s. and wash u.s. doesn't have to negotiate with russia to solve important global problems right now we see that you have really to talk with russia to get things done in venezuela for example or in syria our correspondent reporting for us from moscow thank you in sudan 5 protesters and an army major have been shot dead in the capital khartoum

the deaths came just hours after protest leaders reached a breakthrough agreement with the ruling generals to transition to a new elected government protesters want to civilian led transition though and they've kept the pressure since an uprising that ousted longtime president omar al bashir. security forces chase a protester down this street in sudan's capital khartoum they whip him and beat him before he appears to run away. across the city protesters have been blocking roads as they try to increase pressure on the ruling generals to step down. a military council took over last month after veteran president omar al bashir was forced from power. but these people don't want the army in charge. no longer given month ago and the old regime has not fallen yet so we're staying you've seen with your own eyes the oppression we've escalated our protests

because we reject the decisions by the transitional military council we've got snarl street to pressure the government we want to ensure our voices are heard we hate what they're doing they even use whips on us. who we're going to follow that. on monday saddam's military council and opposition groups finally agreed to a power structure for the country's transition. the. protesters want civilian rule but the makeup of the governing bodies has yet to be agreed. just after these pictures were filmed at least 5 sudanese protesters and an army major was shot dead on tuesday the ruling generals blamed supporters of the former regime. the situation has been exploited by other factions and by sleeper cells of the old regime and others who are still targeting his revolution. the generals

may claim out that she is only god was responsible for this violence but increasing tensions between the military and civilian protest is only too plain to see. while the demonstrates has refused to go quietly talks between the 2 sides continue . now there's been a major security breach at one of the world's largest communications apps what's app has discovered a weak spot that allowed remote spyware to be installed on mobile devices the financial times newspaper is reporting that an israeli security firm and s. o. group developed the surveillance software there were reports that a u.k. attorney involved in a lawsuit against the n.s.o. group was among the targets whatsapp is urging its 1500000000 users to install the latest update as a precaution the company says it's referred the breach to the u.s. justice department. and we can talk to to have a look at she's a tech expert and the editor of vice termes tech site motherboard she's with us now

i so tell us more about the group that's reported to be behind the cyber attack and group right so is allegedly one of the largest developers of surveillance technology and spyware and the basin is israel they have around about $500.00 employees and their customers are governments and secret services around the world they've been known to work together with. the tarion states and they do not apply the to sedate about themselves they sell it on and usually with a memorandum that this is not to be used to choose or not to be used in anything other than to catch criminals in fact though the governments that buy these tools have been known to use them against political rivals and even dissidents they know to carry out such a large scale attack. they have been they have been known to develop to copy

and paste as this is used to turn the mobile phones off. rival political rivals dissidents into basically walking box ok so so what do we know about who exactly was targeted in this hack we mentioned that there was a lawyer who was good at who else write this lawyer who was. involved in a lawsuit against the n.s.o. group and she was defending mexican and saudi arabian and some. customers the clients who were targeted by previous to his office in this particular heck this lawyer was. was hacked but noticed that before they had could happen alerted citizen groups which then discovered the loophole another researcher from amnesty international was also hacked in this one ok so how big of a deal is this to. as a for what's app how bad this is look for the come. it does look pretty bad

although this particular loophole is not something that targets the entire user base that is a high profile target to hack so i think the company is now scrambling to find out how many users are involved it looks like there are not too many users so involved because. this is not something that is going to spy out in the tire user base it is definitely something that is used against a single person ok so there are single targets and yet what's out there is telling everyone you know it's $1500000000.00 users to update the media at lee is that going to be enough to protect people's confidentiality their data yes because what's the content of messages and encrypt it means you basically you have a container you close it you send it over that person opens the container and the contents of this container are not to be seen not by what's in the safe a new service so the contents are safe but i think what's a now facebook will have

a lot of explaining to do about the differences between a lobster user base the hack and something is targeted as this one nor it is clear the look are with us from motherboard thank you very much for your analysis hugh you're watching news still to come the countdown to this year's all singing all dancing euro vision song contest meet the german behind the gala night spectacular staging. but 1st a court in malta has issued a verdict in the trial of the refugee rescue ship lifeline the captain. will not go to jail but he was hit with a $10000.00 euro fine which you have to pay to multis aid organizations he was charged with using the boat multis waters without proper registration in june 2000 . 18 and his crew rescued more than $230.00 refugees in the mediterranean but the

standings once again but when it comes to the staging the country is in a league of its own in fact this will be the 6th time that germany's goalie i'm dida has designed the sets for europe's biggest pop gala. the final run up to the euro vision song contest in tel aviv a key test drawn for florian feeder. he designed a backdrop for the show the biggest competition of its current on the planets. now we get a chance to see whether everything works as planned. the bruno boards it's all it's a big set and big venue but the stage itself is actually relatively small and that creates an intimate party atmosphere even though when viewed as a whole it of course looks gigantic muniz and course also. it's the 6th time the german stage designers shape the look of the contest the 1st

rehearsals every participating country like poland is responsible for its own performance but one design element reappears again and again the triangle it's a reference to the star of david and israeli symbol. of the expo exhibition center tell of eve is the venue for this year's european song contest the most complex aspect is coordinating with the various country delegations and the israeli t.v. producers. it's not easy to do a search for the vision we have 4141 countries when we need a lot of versatility and i think you can see in florence their age a lot of versatility guys who beat us this concept of course it's important to me that the whole thing looks good and works visually but the most important thing of all is that it works as a whole. you can only judge that after the show has come and i snapped and when

it's over i'm happy if it all went well would leave florian vader has done far more than create a stage for a competition with a 29000 euro vision song contest he sets a new milestone for stage design. formula one has announced that next season it is returning to the netherlands for the 1st time in 35 years while formula one's bosses come up with new ways to increase revenues the mercedes team has been busy giving a terminally ill boy a very special day to remember the team transported an f one car to harry shah's home in southern england the 5 year old has a rare form of cancer he had sent to good luck message to mercedes driver lewis hamilton before sunday's spanish grand prix hamilton won the race and dedicate the victory to harry calling him this spirit. as celebrities and fans both young and old have been paying tribute to doris day who
