9:03 pm
a lot of people have been saying as well is that his treatment in prison specifically meant that his health deteriorated a lot quicker than it should have done so for example his son last year came out saying that he was in solitary confinement for a long time being denied medical care or treatments that he needed and so that really is what some people are now pointing to as the reason for his stand we understand the muslim brotherhood is calling for 4 masses to attend his funeral in egypt and they're also calling for an independent international investigation of what happened today. is that even realistic is that likely to happen in egypt well the muslim brotherhood now isn't as strong as the east to be it is no longer theme as an official political party it's been outlawed. the amount of support that

9:05 pm

that their rights are being eroded and with them the freedoms that determines to protect. well here in germany federal prosecutors have revealed that they are treating the murder of a local politician as an act of far right extremism valter luka was a member of german chancellor angela merkel's conservatives and he was a vocal supporter of the chancellor's welcoming approach to refugees he was shot dead earlier this month at his home in the central state of has set a police say the suspect killer who was arrested on saturday has a long track record of hate crime. in the early afternoon a spokesperson for the federal prosecutor held a press conference 45 year old stephanie is being held as prime suspect and the police believe they have established a motive the again this doctrine and because the current state of our investigation we assume that what we're dealing with is right wing extremism that's what 100 the

9:11 pm
morning i'm joined by my colleague. standing outside the home of the assassinated politician that's in the german state of has he needs you to talk to me a little bit you been able to talk to neighbors and people in that area what's the atmosphere there. yes indeed i actually could speak to some people and the atmosphere is various showed his people a very shocked that there might be a flight going most is behind the death of botha look they knew him as a very friendly person hey i talked with a neighbor who said he he took out the cattle with him sometimes when he was home so they are shocks that his political stance and especially his support for refugees might have something to do with his death a few weeks ago is that what they're telling you or do they actually assume that they know why voltar luka was targeted and murdered.
9:12 pm
so vital to give us quite well known for his stance for refugees prover a few cheese he opened up a few refugee centers as a politician here and has a and all of this heated up in the evening in 2015 at a council meeting when he stood up for refugees saying everyone who disagreed with this belief of welcoming them was free to leave the country at any point so the reaction was very dramatic he received death threats hundreds of them he was under police protection for a while and of all of this repeated itself after his death hate speech of hate online saying that his death was. that it was a good thing that he was a trader of the people that he deserved to die so this obviously brought the police to this fright wing suspicion of the crime and what do we know about the alleged killer. so the killer is a 45 year old man and the alleged killer was arrested saturday morning early
9:13 pm
saturday morning he had allegedly been in contact with the extreme right wing seen here in germany several times especially with the group combat 1818 here stands for hitler and also he allegedly committed his 1st crime against refugees when he was already or he was only 20 years old attacking a refugee center here in hester and all of this stands in quite a clear contrast to what the neighbors were saying describing him as someone as a nice family father who always greeted when they passed by so they couldn't actually imagine that he had a contact gee the frightening scene and if he might actually turn out to be the killer then he predicts succeeded in living this double life and what are you hearing from authorities are they saying that this could be the beginning or this could be part of a fresh series of right wing killings because you know there are warnings across
9:14 pm
germany for all kinds of minorities at the moment you know to be on guard. yeah obviously we shouldn't make any such such assumption just now the investigations are still ongoing some people might think of the n.s.a. case actually when they hear about this though the n.s.u. case was a group that in the past killed a few foreign people with the foreign troops here in germany and and there was the idea of a connection between the combat 18 and this group but nothing is clear so far and we don't know if the perpetrator acted on his own or in an organization so this needs to be seen in the next few days yeah lots of investigations still to be done our my colleague has a vulture there outside the home of that. german politician in the german state of
9:15 pm
hassle to say thank you for staying here in germany the far right immigration depardieu suffered defeats in a mayoral election in the city of gurlitz that's located in the east of the country the party lost the vote after a concerted effort by other parties and outsiders including some hollywood filmmakers to prevent the team from coming into power the vote is seen as a possible indicator of how elections and other german states might go in september . it was a close call but in the end conservative octavian also was able to breathe a sigh of relief with his support of all other mainstream parties the candidate of chance langan america's christian democrats managed to prevent the election of the country's 1st a 50 mayor in the east in germantown of its both the candidates of the green party and the left party dropped out of the race to throw their weight behind the c.d.u. men and against a candidate who won the 1st round of the election last month. right. the majority
9:16 pm
has chosen an open society that is very clear but i have also said it is an important task for me to listen to those who didn't vote for me in the far right parties candidates a bastion vip is trying hard not to look disappointed at the contest was seen as a key test for germany safety who were hoping to win their 1st mayoral post in germany. it was not enough in the end it was not a vote for mr it was a very to get the candidate against me. the head of the vote even hollywood actors and producers said would you against voting for the f.t. fearing that if the mood in the future is one of hating xenophobia filmmakers might stop coming to the picturesque town locally known as curly wood for the many films that didn't center before it as i'm really happy with today's results and i think it's also a signal to the outside world that girl it really is the european city we call ourselves is famous not there you many things i don't like about the a f t but

9:18 pm
a step in the wrong direction and won't help iran itself and the international community and say we will do all we can without potus to dissuade iran and find a potential power to dilate us from sequined here but it's hard to do argument if you for i still think the situation is extremely explosive military confrontation in the gulf would mean that the whole region would be on fire nobody could be interested in that and it's not enough for me that everyone just says that they don't want war they also have to prove that they don't want war that means that everyone must take active steps toward deescalation should to mess with this kind of threw in the future by far and there was the german foreign minister there surfing the internet it is not easy in cuba the communist island in the caribbean was one of the last countries in the world to allow its citizens to go online and it still lagging behind much of the world when it comes to internet access less than one percent believe it or not one percent of cubans have broadband internet at
9:19 pm
home so when 3 g. mobile internet was introduced 6 months ago it was greeted with joy like christmas morning but that joy was or has given way to frustration at the slow in costly service and cubans have now started a campaign in protests. he's over use cold announcement he is here fresh we return from the bell fields of cuba to talk about this so tell me about the protests well right now i mean mobile internet in cuba is not cheap for about 4 gigabytes and that doesn't get you very far these days we know that they cost about $25.00 euros in them but then a perfect into perspective cubans the average cuban makes about $25.00 euros per month so that's your tie your monthly salary gone just for mobile internet cubans are staging a protest on twitter they're saying the government needs to lower the cost of the internet and just hear some of those voices coming out of cuba and this protest one
9:20 pm
cuban here says my mother has never connected to the internet she has a remote idea that something called twitter or facebook or google exists but that's only from reading newspapers and watching t.v. the socialist prices from cuba are completely prohibitive and another cuban here he did some research on these prices and he claims that the internet in the himalayas has cheaper in cuba he found nepalese company that charges around 9 dollars for 16 gigabytes. that's $0.57 per gigabyte cuba is 13 times more expensive you can send a selfie from the top of mount everest for cheaper so a text that's the name of cuba's government run internet agency they've been responding to these complaints they say look we have to build this from scratch this new cell network given the u.s. economic embargo that's not a cheap endeavor it's not easy to do that it's also important to note i mean in cuba public protest is very where you face a rest you face jail time perhaps if you speak out against the government it's
9:21 pm
interesting to see now with this mobile internet this is really giving cubans a safer and maybe easier way of making their displeasure known to the government is kind of the new public sphere there were hour they getting around these high costs because like you say they don't earn a lot of money a lot of cubans say you know we sacrifice we save up if we want this data plan. others say there's a lot of cubans living abroad in miami a large community they'll send money back to cuba they say this is worth it to us will give you 30 bucks we want to talk to you we want to be able skype with you from home we actually spoke today with one of these protestors in cuba we won't use his real name or his real voice for safety reasons he told us though despite the high costs the internet has opened up a lot of doors in cuba the internet is a powerful tool i can know what's happening when it's happening that's new for me and every cuban before the internet that was impossible now we have access to international and independent cuban media it's good to know what's going on out
9:22 pm
there and what the state is hiding from us which is a lot and he also told us he believes that the government is actually monitoring this new mobile network as well and what about mobile the mobile internet i mean how is that changing life in cuba it's hard to put a wall around there and when i mean imagine all of a sudden you know this is something we take for granted they have now have thought phones in their pocket they've got the internet they're using this really to navigate some of the daily challenges that they face there in that country one example here i mean it could be hard to get your hands on simple things like diapers or or meat even sometimes in the markets this is a whatsapp group it's called don't the iowa where you can find something users sharing pictures of long food lines passing along tips for where you might find something like diapers even coca-cola as this example says after the tornado struck there in january cubans organized relief efforts on facebook you know that's something we take for granted the biggest problem the brand it's just still too
