become shields and weapons as demonstrators tried to fend off rubber bullets and tear gas fired by the police. tens of thousands of people came out to rally again today and protest against hong kong's controversial extradition bill a quiet march until tempers flare. like they're mostly dressed in black their faces covered with surgical masks and wearing makeshift body armor from the get go some in today's crowd seems ready for a different kind of protest than the largely peaceful mass demonstrations on sunday but i would say actually it is the week car or farmer approach territory we do like for a. different way to work our way that's the only way that we got it right. having our say. they are worried about a proposed law that would mean hong kong could send people to mainland china to face trial critics warned that would allow beijing to target political opponents in
6:03 pm
hong kong which retained its own justice system after being returned to china from british rule in 1997 undeterred by the outrage the territory's chief executive is promising to push forward with the legislation i do but i have not received any instruction on mending from beijing to do despair. we would doing a young student doing it out of lynchings. and i'll come even to home. a commitment hardly reflected today at the let. it's late if council were states remained empty as the schedule debate was postponed but with a legislature dominated by beijing loyalists few protesters expect the law to fail the vote on june 20th. honestly i'm not so. i'm quite disappointed and i don't think. they will listen to the people. they were still going ahead but i think there were people. they may have forced the legislators to delay the vote but
6:04 pm
for these protesters the struggle to preserve hong kong's autonomy has only just begun. straight to hong kong where we join data because spondon time sobota just welcome back to us what is the situation now. the roads around the parliament are clear now the police has driven the protesters out they have moved to other places around they have been dispersed and in with there are several smaller. sites where protesters gather they face off the police this thing is probably going to last the whole night the 2nd reading of this actually addition bill debate did not happen today as shy jule does this mean the protests of one this.
6:05 pm
the protesters might have won a little battle. but they have not won this thing because the government is not ready to scrap this do they are not planning to do so they have they are determined to push this through they have said this several times and we see no signs and we have to do not see no signs from islam that she would reconsider this it will do correspondent material well into lives just to get more on their side with reporter sheri cha who is from hong kong welcome sheri. why is this spill causing so much. in the territory so basically it is that hong kong. to china for trials and many people fear that it would mean that china would use it as a tool for political to pursue political potence and that it would mean that hong
6:06 pm
kong but most of freedom of speech that it has been enjoying so far and this is very part of the hong kong people and they actually told me that they don't want hong kong to be just one of the chinese cities and so they came out so far as their opinion china has not been backward in coming forward when it comes to extracting people that it wants from from around the world that they've been accused of doing it here in germany i suppose the fear is that this makes it legitimizes that option yeah yeah they fear that it would lift it to my eyes the. kidnappings that have happened in the past and this is the biggest fear itself. ok so there was that we've seen this before and it's quite interesting people are making comparisons with the movement process of 2014 do you see these 2 as being similar phenomena actually i would say that this is quite different from the 2014 protests because in 2014 you see i. really clear generation though the fight the people who
6:07 pm
went out to the streets they were most the students young people and the parents' generation they often opposed them to go on to go on the streets to protest and you would often hear that base arguments and base inside the family and they even tried not to talk about politics so much by then but then this time iraq you see that the society of hong kong is really united and there is one really clear goal is that they don't want this law to pass and you feel that i like across different generations they all want to stop this little and so how do you think the territory has changed since i was 2040 demonstrations yeah i would say that after the 2014 protests people feel a bit hopeless and they feel that what they didn't achieve any fame and in the following years at the most fear of hopelessness and people became a bit apolitical of then this time when 1000000 people went on the streets and it
6:08 pm
feels like people feel like it's coming back like they're right there again and they want to force their opinion and make their voice. to talk to you and thanks so much for joining us a very interesting church. but for some of the other stories making news around the world the world health organization says it will hold an emergency meeting to decide but a bone outbreak constitutes a global emergency you know that's what comes after confirmation that the disease has spread to ground in the democratic republic of congo a 5 year old boy has died from the virus in the year western town of custody say 2 other cases have been confirmed. saudi arabian states television says ruthie rebels in yemen have launched a missile attack on a saudi air force a spokesman for the saudi coalition fighting the rebels that 26 people were wounded after the rebels targeted the airport in the southwestern town of about. japan's

6:12 pm
compression you know. just because you have different groups doesn't mean you're different as a person everyone can be good or bad it depends on the person and not on what culture over religion a person belongs to. them for years the number of anti-semitic incidents has been rising in german schools history teacher bat lindemann wants to raise awareness of the issue although the current can school has had few problems there have been anti semitic insults and graffiti here. because people often apply concepts such as using the word jew as an insult that are used in a completely on differentiated way and in an ignorant way. the aim of anne frank day is 1st students to get a feel for the past so that history does not repeat itself. but the house of values i call friends is the like side villa where the nazis planned and nial ation of europe enjoying its now i'm a moral museum hans christian yash is its executive director. d.w.
6:13 pm
. given that the choices of the 2nd world war history the question must be asked why should children still commemorate people like on friday. because an affront is unique. position that she left a diary behind where you have a picture of a lot of evidence from her father somebody people can easily identify with and many of the people who. remained number. named this and on a funk was the victim of systematic organized state sponsored anti semitism in germany the family left frankfurt fled to the netherlands and in the netherlands they were again subject to prosecution and unfortunately we're living in a world in a world today where. these ideologies seem to be.
6:14 pm
moving again and so what difference does remembering what happened make i think remembering all commemorating because a new can't remember her didn't know her personally especially children cannot but i think commemorating her can help to. measure stick for the present and trying to assess to compare what happened in the past to present day events to experiences of discrimination people suffering to the rise of right wing extremist parties i mean on a funk just cripes the rise of the muscle movement in the netherlands which was a fascist movement which didn't gain a great deal of support in the netherlands but which was through the support of the nazis. so. i think it can create awareness and sensitivity to what is going on today and so when children visit your holocaust memorial what sort of what
6:15 pm
do they tell you what what sort of effect do you have a. farewell we don't have very young children visiting runs a real usually have secondary school children coming to ones they. generally it's striking for me how little they know they know very little about the perpetrators who was responsible for what has happened i think it's very difficult for them to grasp that these were all. unary men and to a lesser degree also women who participated in these crimes they tend to exceptional as these people and the crimes they committed and so having been made aware of it i you aware of any difference to that it makes to them about what do they tell you the problem is this is not measured normally you would have to ask people again and again after weeks or months when visiting such
6:16 pm
a plays what how does it influence their life how does it influence their thinking but i can speak for myself personally i went to visit concentration camps when i was 16 and i remember that it was a very mocking experience forcing you've mentioned a couple times at the fact that we are living in a time now where right wing extremism is on the increase as is anti semitism here in germany. does do these sorts of memorials a sort of commemoration of how does that fit into the wider context. well. it's more hope than actually an informed policy we hope that i have remembering the holocaust by remembering the victims of the holocaust such as i'm a funk we can make people for what is happening in the present and. can try to vaccinate them against the. easy
6:17 pm
responses which lay in the idea of of racism of institutionalized racism. but of course. we also have the example that we have people had here to right wing parties who visit our memorial who are perfectly fine commemorating the holocaust but still advocate right wing ideas so this idea of vaccination i'm not entirely sure whether it really works in the end ok well we wish you well in your endeavors like so much for coming in and talking to us dr hans christian yosh in the house of arms they call from psyche thank you for. police in moscow have detained hundreds of protesters as a rally in support of the investigative journalist if. this comes a day after prosecutors dropped drug dealing charges against him for lack of evidence was the golden of support to say he was framed. opposition activists and journalists being carted off by police. and he hoped that the
6:18 pm
release of journalist even called enough signaled a softening of the kremlin stance on free speech dast. russian opposition leader. was among those detained at the rally against corruption in law enforcement. but. it doesn't make sure to buy news limited as cool as it's fantastic that they've released gallon of look that is just a drop in the ocean and now is the cooked of the we want all of those still in jail to know that we haven't forgotten. who loves you when he was least i can't just sit around and do nothing as if they would stay. here just not just. this your purchase coverage this isn't over because we want to see the people who set up this case brought to justice yes that it would be a joke if all they did was dismiss them from their jobs coming at them within the city of. justice an authorized protest was originally
6:19 pm
planned to demand called enough be freed but after the charges against him were dropped on tuesday the demonstration was repurposed to call for police reforms and accountability. of himself had encouraged people not to take part following his release. they're closer to the right think it's better to spend time with loved ones or offer some direct support rather than to attend the march that's just my opinion where you are in. the cold enough knew the risks such rallies can bring in moscow those arrested for taking part could now face sentences of up to 20 days in jail. new videos of 2 of the world's most powerful man causing quite a stir they featured mark zuckerberg and donald trump but people are concerned not because of what they say but because of why that really is that you don't do so how
6:20 pm
likely it has been following the story welcome to tell us more this is a story about fake news and deep fake news you could call it lies packaged as news you could just call it life but this is really we're looking at something new facebook has been under fire for a long time for refusing or being very slow to remove lies racism and also these kind of fake that is what's interesting here is that we could a fake video of chuck about himself mr facebook supremely and they're also refusing to remove it let's take a look at the actual video because it's really interesting imagine this for a 2nd one man with total control of billions of people stolen over secrets their lives their futures i owe it all to specter specter showed me that whoever controls that they have controls the future. looking more animated than usual but that's not
6:21 pm
actually here is it no this is a deep fake this is a video created by an artificial intelligence program that has been doing some learning looking at pictures and videos of suck about and has created this new this is not a doctor video this is a newly created video and this is a bit of a quantum leap in terms of fake videos in terms of you know making people look like they're saying or doing things that they are not and this started like many things in the tech world with pornography people were making porn videos and putting the faces of well known actresses and models on to the porn actresses. and this is now into the political sphere as one might imagine now it's not obviously just about as you mentioned the beginning we're also looking at a video of donald trump let's take a look at that and let me tell you a secret you ever wonder why i'm so. because of my big brain maybe but seriously it's all about do things ok algorithms and data i pulled up the
6:22 pm
biggest race of the century people just have no idea all right so it's not just the voice the voice is a bit weird but that definitely look like him so why would i not believe up well this is the frightening thing and he could be saying anything you can program these fake videos these depraved planning videos to say what you want them to say and that's the really worrying thing is that you could have it i mean conceivably you could you could have donald trump declaring war on iran that's what a lot of people are very alarmed about with this new technology that's being used and as we see is being broadcast i think that's less likely to actually happen you wouldn't necessarily believe although with trump sometimes you might have to question what he does say but it's more the question of what is this going to do to how we perceive truth facts and. how do we believe if there's
6:23 pm
a video of one person saying something and then saying something in exactly the opposite what do you believe and what happens to you when you don't know what to believe how do you decide who to vote for how do you decide what to eat how do you decide whether to get your children vaccinated ok so you throw up all these big questions hoping that you're going to bring your say and some sometimes as well as the hope i don't have any for you i'm afraid. it's a really big problem and there are 3 different ways to try to tackle it you can look at the audience people watching these videos as they get distributed around facebook you can try to call on them to become more educated to be more critical and all the rest of it but that's a little bit of victim blaming really you can also look at facebook all the other social media providers or platforms and say that they need to step up and and catch these things and remove them or you can look at polls policymakers and there are a number of american politicians who are looking at this and they're demanding that the tech companies start developing ways to spot these you know some kind of video
6:24 pm
watermark or something that can be detected. but that's just going to be an arms race of technology and as soon as they find something that finds them then going to come around that again it's really difficult. thank you. for this really is me for now i will go to sports and the 1st day of today's or women's world cup games nigeria defeated to south korea to know in grenoble to recall their 1st win of the campaign they got off to a dream start when kim dion's attempt to claim to run for his her own goalkeeper to gift nigeria the lead in the 29th minute it's a real moment to forget for the enforcer of south korea and defend a composed finish from nigeria's i.c.c. . shala the game to bed in the 2nd. and yesterday standout game united states made their 1st much anticipated appearance of the
