inflames is ready cyber spies microphones cameras and data on devices using the. i'm from welcome to the program 5 protesters and an army major have been shot dead in sudan's capital khartoum this was just hours after protest leaders reached agreement with the ruling generals to transition to a new elected government protesters have been demanding a civilian led transition out of kept up pressure since the uprising that led to the removal of longtime president. 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
5:02 pm
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 than most of 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 blocked knol 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 are going to flip that. on monday sit downs 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.
5:03 pm
just after these pictures were filmed at least 5 sudanese protesters and an army major was shot dead on tuesday the ruling generals blame supporters of the former regime and the situation has been exploited by other factions and by sleeper cells of the old regime and others who are still targeting its revolution. the generals may claim albi she is oh god was responsible for this violence increasing tensions between the military and civilian protest is over to plain to see. why the demonstration is refused to go quietly talks between the 2 sides continue. well they do because one and karim has recently returned from the forces in sudan
5:04 pm
a welcome. so i know that you've maintained your contacts there what are you hearing about this latest situation what i heard is i talked to one of the people i trust on him hard to him and his also at the sit in area and they were yesterday really surprised when suddenly people shooting at them and suddenly having chaos all around and actually till now it's not clear what happened you know they don't know they don't know who are the people who are shooting because the military says it's not us we're doing it some of the protesters according to what my contact told me they think it's the military but the military is saying no is it's our supporters of. our bashir so there are still questions but actually different opinions but there's still no there's no facts the situation. has been intensified over the last couple of weeks despite the talks between protesters and the military what's driving this intensification i would see i would say like this the the
5:05 pm
protesters they want to civilian counsel military is still the one ruling today they did different concessions for the protesters but the protesters saying no you have to hand over power to a civilian council. some are talking it's not fact this analysis is people on the ground telling me there might be also be a division among the military or some. most of them are saying it's enough now we have to act and others are saying no let's calm down and be and continue ruling and listening to what the protesters want so actually it's they it's a circle they want a civilian council the military council says who should we hand over to because the protestors among its among themselves are not united you don't have a group of people who say we are like example 5 people and we are representing today the end. that's not the fact they are not united they are divided and that's
5:06 pm
again what the military is taking advantage of and the shooting is a siege is significant i would guess because if you have. civilians who have to pose the president and you have a military council who who is who are in charge yes essentially by permission of the mob you don't really want to start shooting them no actually not by you till now we don't know again you know different analysis but no you don't know because till now it is it was peaceful to sit in area i was there to sit in the area it is peaceful people so when you talk to the protesters say the military is protecting us the military is responsible for our security we want the military but we want one military that is ruling us they should hand over the power so the military to now didn't shoot until now they say we are we are not the one responsible for it but at the same time they should be the one responsible also because they are
5:07 pm
taking care of security and that's why they should be taking care of the security of the protesters so the big issue as far as the military is concerned ok who do we hand power to what is holding up these 2. i think that's them. that's the biggest thing like to hand over to whom do we want to hand over and the other side some say also that the military themselves have interests in. in the next the transitional phase of 2 or 4 years because we just look to the neighbors to egypt and we know what's happened in egypt today you have a president who was part of the military and that's why in khartoum a tradition the military is part of the ruling structure and you never know to know if they are just being nice or really they have their own strategy but they taking it step by step but i think till now when you see how persistent and how determined
5:08 pm
the protesters are it won't be easy for the military to take this next step and say we want to stay because the 1st the protests as we see it in pictures i felt it there i saw this i saw it in the eyes of the people there really determined after 30 years they saying it's enough and they don't want the scenario that happened in egypt to happen again they learned you know people learned the arab spring among each other they learned when you look to algeria sudan are saying we want to or now we want things happen again. because bonded to kareen thank you thank you. and we'll take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world turkish military has launched a massive exercise in the mediterranean black sea for the 2nd time this year the defense ministry says 130 warships and almost $26000.00 members of the armed forces are involved the drills come amid renewed tensions over ankara's plans to extract natural gas of the divided island of cyprus. u.s.
5:09 pm
secretary of state mike pompei was in the russian black sea resort of sochi for of the talks he 1st met his russian counterpart sergey lavrov to discuss arms control iran and syria as well as the tense u.s. or russian relations both vet said their countries were seeking to improve ties of the top u.s. diplomat relates at me to president putin. jobson of the refugee rescue ship lifeline will not go to jail but will have to pay a $10000.00 euro fine a court in malta has charged clouseau. for using the vessel without proper registration its crew rescued more than 230 people in june 28th seen in recent months it's a day and mold to have turned away rescue ships to discourage migration across the mediterranean. mostly moms in sri lanka have killed one person and attacked mosques and muslim owned businesses the government has extended
5:10 pm
a curfew to a 2nd night as they try to contain the violence sectarian anger has been building since the easter sunday bombings by islamists in which more than 250 people were killed. i justice in sri lanka was angry and impatient some sri lankans have rioted and taken to attacking muslims after is the missed terrorists carried out the easter sunday bombings killing over 250 people. police struggle to contain the anger with one muslim man dying from stab wounds shops run by muslims are being torched all ransacked and their owners targeted. because if they came with a sword and tried to attack me. about 15 people came in several taxis. they threatened to kill me i ran away through the back door. the same group
5:11 pm
attacked my brother shop the police are trying to stop such attacks and manage a volatile situation. butyl this small group must stop the dangerous game they're playing against the lives and property of innocent people rather i must state that we won't allow the country to be led to anarchy by those who show their strength on unarmed innocent civilians in nadya got near of this or not to go north and the sri lankan 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. so the german chancellor has been speaking as an international climate talks here in berlin and i'm going to machall announce that she wants have ministers to find a way for the country to become carbon neutral by 2015 and she explained that this
5:12 pm
wouldn't mean germany a whole ting a stopping in missing the greenhouse gases but instead the country would offset its emissions through reforestation and carbon capture or changes to the climate are monitored by scientists from the european space agency and one of their projects is to establish the distribution of the earth's surface water and groundwater the great follow on satellite mission loans to in my records changes in the earth's mass caused by movements of bodies of water. this is how earth looks if its gravity field is shown not completely round it's an imperfect sphere with dense and bulges and this is how the twin satellites of the grace follow on mission see it they orbit the earth 15 times each day and monitor its mass which constantly changes especially the masses of water on the earth's surface
5:13 pm
and in the ground satellites are the best way to observe waters and flow across the entire planet. using microwaves they measure the distance between one another to the 1000th of a millimeter the satellites gravitate to varying degrees and their orbit depending on how big the mass beneath them happens to be its gravitational pull changes the distance between the satellites the water budget can then be calculated from the data they collect. every month the satellites deliver a new snapshot of the constantly changing distribution of mass on and in the earth the data will help to better document the impact of climate change. for example how quickly the polar ice caps are melting the previous mission has already shown that between 222016 the greenland ice sheet melted faster than previously believed.
5:14 pm
every year about $270000000000.00 tons of ice are being lost there. with the satellites help researchers can now monitor the global water budget and they can examine how far the groundwater level has sunk due to over use or how climate change alters precipitation and the distribution of water new insights from outer space into the life processes of our earth. or your. if ash is director of the european space agency's earth observation programs he joins us from the. living planet symposium in milan italy welcome to the w. what do missions like grace tell us about the statement in particularly the water bodies and changes to the gravity but there are a number of satellites so who are complementing measurement and therefore really
5:15 pm
provided a larger view of how the climate changes and what impacts and affects our climate change in particular you have mentioned water and ice caps there's also other missions like us out there or s moss who are measuring changes of the mass balance and the ice balance and therefore given your central measurement so far of what the state of our climate is how much ice is melting and how this affects our water levels and also finally increase or for temperatures no service particle or global change so clearly climate change is a hugely contentious political issue depending on where in the world you are you're the science you go where you gather the data and then do what's with it does your data gathering actually have any impact on policy. i hope they do but we really gather. information that cannot be disputed because these are facts what
5:16 pm
we're measuring it's not fake news it's it's a real measurement so we're taking from our home our satellites and they are using the same instrument globally so even if you take a measurement over germany or not i want to wait another one of america i used to use the same instrument and therefore you can really compare these measurements and this of course is essential in the climate debate where sometimes it is not easy not easy to compare measurements and observations but what we do as a space agency is we provide the observation which of course then leads to a better understanding of your system and do a better understanding of what the climate may or may look like or how in which direction it evolves what is crucial and this is the dark of politicians to transform and translate these measurements and observations into decisions that then change the behavior of people in order to protect our planet so what i'm not even sure you can answer this is it's actually a political question but what do you think when you see the dates of it you've
5:17 pm
gathered whether it be from this man mission or elsewhere taken by politicians and twisted saying well this makes no sense and this makes no sense and no a climate change is not really a thing. climate change is not fake i mean i can assure you we measure this every day and we have very clear data which confirm that the climate has been changing since a couple of decades now and this changing ever faster so there's nothing to dispute i mean this is reality and this is cannot be disputed but i think what really is needed is a dialogue between the science community between the space agencies and willing to politicians and the society at large and willy outlined what these measures show and what needs to be done in order to protect our own living i will mon home on planet there's no other planet we have at our disposal we have only a planet and no planet b. and therefore i think decisions need to be made noted but to protect it. in your
5:18 pm
and yours if africa and the european space agency thank you thank you very much. have a german pharmaceuticals and chemicals john has lost another lawsuit related to the wheat killer roundup it's made by monsanto a company they acquired recently the jury found in favor of a couple who contracted cancer and the water them $2000000000.00 in damages there are more the officers in the pipeline. and alberta pilly odds say round up caused their cancer so they sued even though a lot of people believed they wouldn't stand a chance against by our in court. we've been finding cancer for. 9 years now how to do that me and it was caused by a round of. changed our lives forever. we can't do the things that we used to be able to do and we really resent
5:19 pm
monsanto for that. their lawyer told the jury and turned all documents prove to monsanto wasn't interested in determining how dangerous its product is now by a has been hit with $2000000000.00 in compensation an astronomical sum even by american litigation standards and things could well get much worse for the chemicals giant. this is not the end of this litigation this is the beginning there are tens of thousands of people out there probably 203040000 people and i have continuously told bayer and monsanto are coming after them investors seem to have come to the conclusion that buyer's woes won't end any time soon since its takeover of monsanto back in june of 2018 buyers shares have plummeted by more than 40 percent the company says that it will appeal the decision and continues to deny that round up causes cancer but increasingly it appears by
5:20 pm
a might have seriously underestimated the long term cost of its monsanto takeover. and one of the world's largest a communications abscessed suffered a major security breach whatsapp discovered a vulnerability that allows remote spyware to be installed on mobile devices a british newspaper is reporting that the rogue software was developed by israeli security firm and s o group the report said a u.k. attorney involved in a lawsuit against a software developers was one of the selected targets whatsapp is searching its one and a half 1000000000 users to install its latest update as a precaution. more from de delusion for a problem for this welcome pablo let's start with who well n.s.o. are allegedly one of the largest developers of surveillance technology and spy where they're based in israel and they have clients many clients who are mainly governments and surveillance agencies around the world now they have been known to
5:21 pm
sell their technology as well to us are a terry in states and they what they say is that they issue a warning to everybody that they sell to staying at their technology should be used as senshi for you know fighting crime for example so. they have many critics for what their talk knology has been used for because it has actually been used against you know political rivals and dissidents in several countries around the world and one of the most vocal critics has been at the u.s. whistleblower edward snowden and actually at the end of last year. he actually said this about n.s.o. something we're going to hear from the n.s.o. group in today's world based on the evidence we have they are the worst of the worst in selling these burglary tools that are being actively currently used to violate their human rights and this is the opposition figures activists. well you
5:22 pm
definitely didn't mince his words there are serious obviously one of those very fierce critics of what n.s.a. technology has been used for ok so what's one of the 1000000000 users that what they all talk to did well use what's up i hope i wasn't targeted but what we do know is and you mentioned it before. what's up of said actually the targets of the attack were high profile users so very specific people were targeted with this hack now what we do know is that a couple of days ago and u.k. based lawyer realized that something was open he alerted a citizen group who then looked into what was taking place which is what's up and then realized what was taking place now what's interesting about this is that this lawyer is actually involved in a lawsuit that has been taken against n.s.o. by a group of mexican journalists government critics and a saudi arabian dissident so certainly interesting there that that has been so
5:23 pm
specific. so for the rest of us will. guarantee the confidentiality of well 1st and foremost what we don't know is actually how many people have been involved because despite what's upset they say that they targeted high profile users now we don't know how many high profile users have actually been targeted so it doesn't really look good for watson but you know this is something that stephanie made me feel nervous i'm sure has made a lot of people feel nervous that there but once again we do need to look at the positive as well in that they're saying that it hasn't actually targeted at the entire user base which has happened so there are other occasions with different types of applications. despite that they did ask everybody there 1500000000 users to update us and a lot of people have been very angry and in fact been tweeting about it saying that we actually have a tweet that we want to take a look at here they're saying that it's perhaps time to use telegram they said that they this man here one block and said that he deleted facebook which of course is
5:24 pm
part of what's up and he's considering stop using what's up. so he's. if you're a fan of camp kitsch pop than you've probably been counting the days until saturday's euro vision song contest which takes place on saturday takes place in tel aviv. this is israel's that netter. hears that when last year brought the european that brought the contest into her country she was one of dozens of contestants rehearsing ahead of the live show which we watched by a worldwide audience of tens of millions germany is likely to come in last in the competition again but when it comes to staging a contest it's in a league of its own in fact this will be the 6th time germany's florian veda was designed the sets for the world's biggest pop go. the final run up to
5:25 pm
the euro vision song contest in tel aviv a key test room for florian feeder. he designed the 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 3 quotes to the music was also. a 6 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 this rainy symbol. the expo exhibition center
5:26 pm
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 israeli t.v. producers. it's not easy to do a search for your vision we have 4141 countries in there we need a lot of versatility and i think you can see in florence stage a lot of versatility guys who beat us this concert and 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. 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. just data the

how's it feel of the world. where i come from not always that clear to cisco it's just like this chinese food doesn't matter where i am always reminds me of home after decades of living in germany chinese food is one of the things i miss the most pathetic ness that bad i see things a little differently now. many of ford's 1st as american nations that exist in other parts of the war and haven't been implemented in china that's due for a lot of chinese people wondering if they're going to say but if you don't have a ride to learn that is this is the job of journalism how i see it and why i love my job because i tried to do it exactly this hour
