the book no limits for your remarks series starts may 25th on d. w. . los plain clothes. oh. this is d. w. news live from berlin theresa may is urged to toss out a plan to score some vote on her brags this deal which was presented 24 hours ago as a new deal this despite the prime minister dangling the possibility of a 2nd record wrecker and. also coming up the violence erupts in indonesia as

protesters refuse to accept the outcome of the presidential election at least 6 people are killed after supporters of the losing candidate clashed with security forces in the capital jakarta. and they're calling it a fight for their lives abortion rights activists staged rallies across the u.s. as some states impose even tighter restrictions on trying to terminations and fears grow of a showdown in the supreme court. plus disposed under threat and hen yeah they are beautiful animals but they're facing tough times to potentially devastating implications not just for their survival but for the environment as large. or it's good to have you with us. britain's prime minister theresa may is under a new pressure to scrap

a plan to vote on her brags that deal both the opposition as well as many within her own party have rejected the revised withdrawal plan that's despite me opening the door to a 2nd breck's a referendum and a temporary customs union with the e.u. she urged lawmakers to grasp what she's calling a last chance there is an issue about customs there is a difference of opinion in this house on the future customs arrangement with the european union that's why it's important that this house actually comes to a decision on that issue this 2nd referendum the 2nd reading of the withdrawal agreement bill will enable this house to come to a decision on that issue it will also enable the house to come to a decision on a 2nd referendum which i continue to believe would not be the right route for this country to go we should deliver on the 1st referendum suggesting anything about a 2nd. let's now bring in. standing by on the story in london b.

i get there is this increasing pressure from within teresa mayes own party for her to step down what are you hearing. well the latest. rumors on twitter that ministers are asking to see trees in may so her own cabinet colleagues also made this off to noon and that obviously does involve speculation whether they might want to force the prime minister to step down but as i said this is nothing that we really know if this is just hearsay and. on social media so we'll have to wait for for the end of the off the new and possibly the evening to see how that develops here in london at the moment and tourism a is appealing to parliament to break this deadlock but this new withdrawal deal that she's putting forward is it going to change anyone's mind. really it hasn't changed anyone's mind and it hasn't been really going down well at all we've seen not the usual and susie has more of a of those government benches went to resume

a gave a speech and faith the chamber was mostly quite empty and there were was a lot of booing and really not a lot of support we have had jeremy corbin the leader of the labor opposition saying that this new deal is really not very new it's just repackaged old deal also that he doesn't think that reason may come ons any authority so whatever she now offers to him to his party to also the remaining here in westminster doesn't really count for anything because he thinks that had days are numbered and that he doesn't he is not sure that the new prime minister will stick to anything that is being agreed with the opposition and of cause to resign may's own party colleagues there are several of these who are now saying they're not going to vote for her deal even though they have previously supported her so really a lot of pressure from within her own party to go soon and all of this of course is

happening on the eve of the european elections which britain wasn't even supposed to be a part of how is the breadth that uncertainty playing into this. it's really the reason why this is so complicated is all about breaks in these e.u. elections and we've seen the breadth of party niger ferocious new party we've seen them sad in the open your in polls there and the high thirty's they are leading. they're leading just much larger than the conservatives labor and the liberal democrats so he's managed nigel for all of 2 and series the crowds and i've spoken to many of his supporters at these rallies and they think like he does that britain just needs to get out they think and he has really managed to turn this argument round that the real bricks it is a no deal bricks it and this is what many of his supporters believe they don't want this whole complicated business of finding an agreement with the european union

which is what the m.p.c. and westminster want a lot of people think this is just too complicated it's not leading any way m.p.'s disagree they think it would be hugely economically damaging but niger for raj has managed to convince a lot of people that the most important thing is that britain just leaves the european union and if that is with no deal then so be it. in london thank you so much. indonesia's president djoko we don't know has warned a strong action will be taken against rioters in the capital jakarta he was speaking after demonstrators took to the streets to protest against the results of last month's presidential election at least 6 people have been killed in clashes with security forces the violence erupted after authorities confirmed we don't know as reelection supporters of the main opposition candidate allege that voting was rigged. out of. anger spilled onto the streets of jakarta come

morning with the violence showed no signs of abating protesters fought running battles with police throwing stones and setting fires as they continue to defy police orders to leave the downtown area. the demonstrations started peacefully on tuesday evening but they quickly turned violent after election results showed incumbent president joe cole we don't know had won reelection opposition supporters tried to force their way into the offices of the election supervisor agency they hurled molotov cocktails and burning projectiles at police who responded with tear gas rubber bullets and water cannon. opposition supporters later moved on to other areas of the city setting fire to vehicles and a police dormitory police blame the violence on what they called provocateurs and said dozens of suspects have been arrested. the majority of protesters came from outside jakarta. they came from the west java 10 and central java

we also found evidence including an ambulance that was filled with stones and tools for attack. the election commission said president we don't know had won 55 percent of the vote spelling defeat for his ultranationalist opponent former general problem. he says the poll was marred by widespread fraud though so far he's presented no evidence to back up the claim. city life is disrupted many residents are trying to leave election commission headquarters is barricaded parts of downtown blocked to traffic it's difficult for me to get to my office because i had to take routes through back alleys it's safer because there's commotion everywhere it makes us a bit doubtful. defeated candidate so beyond tow is refusing to accept the election result and has vowed to mobilize people power the government has deployed some 50000 police and troops across jakarta as it braces for more on the rest i for more

on this let's bring in a risk you know a graph from r t w indonesia desk it's risky last night there were mobs clashing with security forces how did that develop. so right now the indonesian police say that they had arrested more than $100.00 so-called profiteers who were allegedly responsible for the filing focused it claimed this was not a spontaneous mass event but event by design and that the protests there were peat to demonstrate against the government this information kind of be a force for the fight on the other hand the government has blocked access to social media in certain areas to perfect use and books of street guarding for this did you see there were while most of police were using firearms to kill protesters this opposition was of course united by the government so now i mean what the security minister the former general saying he already has the list of names of people who allegedly were responsible for jakarta writes from the looks of it we will see more

arrests by the police in the coming days the only thing is we don't know whether high ranking police stations are also included in that list now mr we do for example has done his presidential duty and called it by calling for a conciliation and national unity but judging by how hostile the government towards the door was isha she wouldn't agree to. this how widespread now is the support for so beyond the opposition. well right now a supporter turn into 2330 to call for a rest of. muster minding the deadly protest and plotting to take down the democratic elected elected government in fact mr sudan there's no running out of time due to collapse of his polish and we do from 6 parties that officially accepted the defeat. of the official results we can expect to see more of movement to support the elected president from the white political spectrum 2 of the parties

that support mr. they need a national mandate party and more democratic party led by former president susilo bambang yudhoyono. refraining from press the speccy participating in mass protest. so some of you do know reach his party has in the pollution of you know fully support. the election. and there are questions of course as to how legitimate the protests against we go to are because we did see that official alleging that a lot of these protesters are coming from outside the city. from the looks of it the majority of the people are still behind the president and the filing protest has produced a rather more negative image for mr sowerby. the government of course tried to egypt in my city demonstration by accusing them of an act of treason they claimed this was a spontaneous myself and but then even by the signs that the protesters were paid to demonstrate against the government some of the protester who were arrested still

kept kept envelopes containing money of course this information cannot be verified . risking a graph from our d.w. in the news desk in iran thank you so much. now to some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s. has said it's the specs the syrian government used chemical weapons again this time in an attack over the weekend in the northwest of the country the army is targeting the few remaining rebel held physicians there washington has threatened reprisals if it's allegation of a chemical attack is verified although observers have disputed the claims. north korea has labeled u.s. presidential hopeful joe biden quote a fool of low i.q. and a cell bereft of elementary quality as a human being this after biden called north korean leader kim jong un a tyrant young also said biden's candidacy was enough to make a catwalk. austrian president aleksander fond of ellen has sworn in

a new interim minority government for new ministers have joined sebastian cross' chance was about encroaches cabinet after far right ministers resigned in the wake of a video sting that raised allegations of corruption. a far right party has held a rally in a rural area and city exploiting renewed tensions with the local roma population several 100 people attended the rally our homeland movement counter protesters meanwhile marked the 10 year anniversary of a series of aroma killings that took place there. supporters of abortion rights in the u.s. have held nationwide rallies to oppose new laws restricting access to the procedure the state of alabama recently passed a law that essentially bans abortion and now other states are also considering and even passing tighter restrictions of their own religious conservatives hope the bans it will provoke legal challenges that will ride up wind up in the supreme

court and overturn roe versus wade in 1983 decision that established a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy. the. songs of protest in new york. i was i. that was that i. was the marches on the streets in montgomery alabama where the state legislature knocked it the most restrictive abortion law in the country just last week. on the protest in front of the supreme court in washington on the national day of action to stop the bans thousands rallied all over the country against recent rollbacks of abortion rights democratic lawmakers lined up to attack the republican party who is until bush and campaign is gathering steam. i've ever.

heard because. the right wing in this country they care. for ever heard 1st. that. from this very good texas. republican mark flake truth can afford. one man's fundamental rights my activists also rounded on the president trump has boosted the anti-abortion cause by appointing conservative judges to the supreme court to federal courts so our message to your president jacques. was that was was. because we had enough of you. c know nothing about people bodies or making decisions partisan about it. was the us is facing long and polarizing

call room battles over the right to abortion. it's another divisive issue as the country moves towards next year's presidential election. starting tomorrow some 400000000 voters across europe will decide what the next 5 years of the european parliament will look like and before polls open a new report suggests that far right anti e.u. groups are using social media to spread fake news and this information on a vast scale the online activist group of os compiled the study looking at social media platforms in 6 european countries identified over 500 facebook pages and groups that were spreading fake news hate speech and this information total of nearly 32000000 people were following these accounts and had interacted with them several 1000000 times the researchers reported the relevant pages to facebook management and in response to social media giant removed just 77 of them among

those pages were this one from a member of germany's far right party the politician had multiple accounts with variations on the name lala and used them to disseminate anti islamic content and attacks on radical feminism flagged up to almost $250.00 fake accounts in germany the most of all of the countries it's studied let's now bring in our brussels correspondent teri schultz who has been following fake news and online hate speech in europe terry fake news is already being widely monitored and reported on so what did this study tell us that we didn't already know. i think that the numbers as you've just gone through were actually very surprising the vast reach of these networks and they remained up and not taken down by the platforms by facebook which has has committed to remove this material as fast as it could find it so when you think that that these pages have been viewed half a 1000000000 times over just 3 months that 6000000 times a day you realize the amplification that this fake material can have been and how

dangerous that is and in fact you know we've been watching for for some huge disruption in the electoral process maybe some huge dump of information but what have oz is saying is that these campaigns have been going quietly under the radar under the noses of users and that's even more dangerous here's kristoff shot from a vase who explains what we're seeing is systematic this information it's not one thing is popping up here another one there it is building networks of millions of followers of millions of people and then reaching out further and further and further and snowden but surely kind of deceiving people into believing the same lies and that's the danger is like disinformation is not one week one big fake news it's done it is over a very long term playing the long game and slowly but surely amassing more and more people who then build like their own bubble of reality so we're researchers able to actually determine the impact that fake news is having in these 6 countries. they could determine the regions very hard to determine the impact at this point but

what we do know is that since this material that was found by a vase almost all of these pages were spewing anti migrant messages on anti-semitic messages sometimes even illegal hate speech that's obviously not going to have a good impact on society and on democracy just when these countries are gearing up to vote so yes it was it's considered quite a dangerous phenomenon to uncover just before elections of course the big question is we have these european parliament elections coming up what does this mean. it will be hard to say until after we see turnout and after we see who wins and certainly the rise of far right parties and populism can't be attributed just to fake news even though those are the people who were benefiting from this campaign these campaigns that have been uncovered now but you know what these groups have to do isn't even convince people of of anything they mostly want to sow mistrust so

distrust in government in communities in the media and if they make people apathetic and simply despair and not turn out to vote at all those are going to be wins for anti e.u. factions so if you're a conscientious voter and social media user who doesn't want to fall into the fake news trap what can you do to make sure you don't do that i think everybody has to realize that these pages are now right under our noses they're probably on my facebook page and yours and when we see that they are not being taken down immediately it means we all have to be our own fact checkers and there are consortiums of media organizations out there fact checking organizations that have popped up you can follow them on twitter you can follow them on facebook and people really need to think before they share information on social media take a look at the background of those articles that information those advertisements and see who's paying for them just think before you share and trust your gut if something doesn't look right teri schultz for us in brussels on the eve of the

european parliament elections thank you so much. european union's police agency says an international law enforcement operation has smashed an organized crime gang europol helped coordinate the raids involving hundreds of police and customs officers in spain britain poland and lithuania and spain they arrested the suspected lithuanian ringleader along with around 20 others elsewhere the gang is believed to have earned hundreds of millions of euros in fraud trafficking and money laundering police seized millions of euros in cash diamonds gold bars true free and luxury vehicles. and meanwhile police in germany have conducted a raid against an iraqi motorcycle gang making one arrest hundreds of officers search locations in 11 cities in north rhine-westphalia in the west of the country the gang members are accused of illegal arms deals and human trafficking most members of the group calling itself all salaam 313 are thought to come from iraq as

well as syria and germany. kenyan author and gay rights activist why naina has died in nairobi he won the 2002 caine prize for african writing but he may be best known in kenya for a work he published years later about his sexuality and his positive hiv status when you know it was only 48 years old i am a homosexual mom was the upfront title of binyavanga wainaina as bone show short story in 2014 wynonna wrote the title for his late mother as he mentioned last chapter to his 20 left memoirs while that's accounted fail to mention the sexuality he's coming out pulled no punches. so i just come out i came out because i'm just like you know people have dignity all people of dignity there's nobody. in the spirit there's nobody who's up beast to them anymore right now i'm quite for somebody saying. whatever you want to see it right but don't come with stones

and sticks and laws right why naina was already one of kenya's most renowned writers when he won the caine prize for african writing in 2002 the award propelled him to world prominence in 2014 time magazine named him one of the world's 100 most influential people for his gay rights activism he wasn't afraid of criticizing homophobic african leaders so when the people in the braves and their whispering about you and you knew you were going to lose an election you find load millions zimbabwe mugabe. what's a cheap easy way to score points because you always need gangs right every human being has a gun needs to mean here. when you're frank a white man as passing comes just days before kenya's high court is due to rule on the abolition of colonial era anti-gay laws not only when he missed that last year he said he planned to marry his boyfriend in south africa now the 2 will not have

their wedding. and staying in kenya where hippopotamuses are facing a new threat not only are hunters targeting them they also have to compete with other animals for food as a result their numbers are dwindling and now a new study has revealed that any reduction in their numbers could spell disaster for the vital health of rivers in the region the hungry hippos graze on the shores of kenya's lake 9 fashion one of over 1500 hippos that make this lake its home but the grass here is increasingly in short supply. locals often bring that cattle down to the grasslands fringing the lake to feed the competition for food between wildlife and domestic animals is driven to the extreme by drought and climate change. it means that people are bringing the livestock into protected areas national parks and reserves and they're competing with the animals like hippos and

these poor animals don't have any other source of food they literally will die of starvation if they hippos die the rivers and lakes could die with them hippos chaum through huge amounts of grass every night and this grass contains a precious element called silica floating in the water during the day that digestion kicks in they then excrete vast quantities of dung into the water the silica in the hippo dung is absolutely vital for the health of africa's waterways a new study has found it helps curb algae blooms that killed marine life. so to have healthy waterways we need healthy hippos but hippos don't gotta much sympathy with the locals just last year several people have died from hippo attacks have been and many many cases of people killed by hippos and this means people don't like to tolerate people they were often killed it's been in the press in

kenya quite a lot to me many instances of local people calling the service to come and kill hippos because they feel like their lives are endangered. with that cattle and the hippos all competing for dwindling grasslands the biggest loser of this fight might be our environment. and a reminder of the top stories we're following here for you the british prime minister theresa may is being urged to toss out a plan or vote on her frankly the one she presented on tuesday as. the opposition and many within her own party are. he rejected it despite maybe raising the possibility of a 2nd price it rougher and up. there watching over you news coming up next v.w. news asia opposition parties in india over his concerns over reports of vote tampering links to electronic voting machines their complaints could delay the indian
