to protect the climate and boost green energy solutions. the current series of global $3000.00 on t.w. and online. this is news live from a guilty verdict in a life sentence in a murder trial but public anger here in germany has failed the iraqi asylum seeker has been convicted of killing a 14 year old girl the case has fueled the heated national debate about migration and violent crime also on the program as journalists and editors meet for the

global conference for media freedom we take you to one of the deadliest places on earth to be a journalist mexico where reporters risk their life revealing the activities of drug lords and human traffickers. into contenders to become britain's next prime minister make their case on t.v. when it will be chosen by party members in a couple of weeks even here in just 3 months to meet the deadline. i'm phil gal welcome to the program. according germany has sentenced on iraqi migrant to life in prison for the rape and murder of a 14 year old girl case problems at a public outcry because alley bashar was supposed to have been deported after his asylum application was rejected instead he was allowed to stay in germany and kill

. life imprisonment for 22 year old ali bashar the toughest sentence allowed under german law that judge said he had shown neither compassion nor re morse in may 2018 bashara raped and murdered susannah if 2 weeks went by before any trace of her was found police discovered the sinus body next to a railway track in a hole covered with dirt and branches after they received a tip from another migrant who had been living with bashar the rejected asylum seeker and his family fled to northern iraq but he was arrested and handed over to german authorities he confessed to killing susanna but denied raping her. during the trial susannah's father said he was shocked by bashar unrepentant with such a mistake remarks so where others. were too cold and with me too for him a good girl is a girl who doesn't go out alone who cooks and cleans who base the men and has no

desires of her own and that is exactly what he practiced here. but no dances does. that right wing populist have seized on the case saying it shows the government's migration policy has had disastrous consequences authorities had denied siloam and he was supposed to been deported long ago. the seriousness of his crime means he's unlikely to be released early bashar also faces another trial this time on charges of raping an 11 year old girl. good move indeed abuse chief political correspondent melinda crane who's been following this story welcome milind despite this life sentence that people are still concerned that it's too lenient why one of the harshest sentences that a german court can hand down life sentences don't necessarily mean here in germany

that a convict spends the entire rest of his life in prison and that's because the country's constitution places a very strong focus on human rights and many criminologists view such life long sentences as problematic in terms of human rights but the fact is that in cases of exceptional severity where the crime has been especially heinous a court can say that it is basically excluding any possibility of early parole as is often given after about 15 years of life sentence thereby ensuring that the convicted person does remain in prison for longer and that's the case here this court said we exclude the possibility of early parole thereby handing down what is in fact a very strong sentence and i think that most commentators definitely do see it that way though this is a killing that sparked quite a heated debate here in germany about the country's asylum system and its failure to deploy its rejected asylum seekers so presumably there has been much political

fallout. well in fact there was a great deal of discussion at the time that the case began that the crime was committed with germany's largest tabloid for example running a headline that said if he had been deported she would still be alive showing pictures of bashar and his victim far right groups picked up on the debate and in fact the government then did engage in a very rigorous examination of its entire migration system but especially of the provisions that concern deportation of migrants who have applied for asylum and been refused as was the case without leave a shot and his family the procedures have been tightened up since then and if you look at public opinion be yet on the far right in fact many many german citizens no longer would put migration and deportation issues at the top of their concerns the

far right nonetheless does still very much instrumental eyes this topic. on the wider issue there's been a growing number of serious about criminality amongst asylum seekers here in germany what the fuck. here the evidence is somewhat contradictory or let's say complicated you may remember that about a year ago president donald trump weighed in on this with a tweet saying that crime rates in germany had rasta clee increased since the influx of migrants that is simply not true crime rates in germany have been falling ever since the early 1990 s. as the chancellor in fact pointed out in response to mr trump nonetheless there are some studies that show that there has been an uptick in violent crime in some regions and that some of that uptick may be associated with migrants the main reason for that is amongst the migrants were many many young unaccompanied men

young men account for a much higher proportion of crime in general than other groups of the population so the fact that the migrant population includes a number a disproportionate number of young men is one reason that in some regions we have seen that slight increase in violent crime. political correspondent melinda crane thank you. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world a top french diplomat has held talks with senior officials in the iranian capital tehran in an effort to salvage the un raffling 2050 nuclear deal of this comes a year after the united states withdrew from the deal in days after iran announced that it had breached limits on enriching uranium. former us presidential candidates are ross perot has died aged 89 he made a strong showing as an independent candidate in 1992 winning 19 percent of the vote

the founder of a computer company e.d.s. was also noted for rescuing 2 of his employees from iran in a commando raid in 1970 s. . dr hayling service has launched its 1st to helicopters in new york shuttling passengers from kennedy airport to manhattan the 8 minute ride will cost you around $200.00 but lost a $1000000000.00 in the 1st 3 months of this year. and the 1st global conference for media freedom has begun in london it's part of an international campaign to highlight the importance of media freedom its role in calling governments to account and in protecting universal human rights reporters without borders is described last year as the deadliest on record for journalists with 99 killed amongst the most dangerous countries are afghanistan with 15 reporters killed there just doing their jobs syria saw 11 journalists killed in

2018 and mexico was the deadliest place to be a journalist outside of a conflict zone 10 reporters will murder their last year the doubling has been to meet a mexican journalist para who risks her life every time she goes to work has. got a call. desperate voicing we found bodies again the reporter knows the woman who called her she belongs to a group of mothers looking for their missing children now it's become a search for bodies. records life that we want all the more hello when one was a leo's with the searches of. this they were told that there might be secret mass graves here they have discovered one little these women's loved ones have disappeared here we can see the bones are wessels playmobil said about was like

they told him and it has been reporting on the searching mothers for years and the vast majority of cases it turns out that their children were abducted and killed by the sea drug cartel. by covering the story to put herself in jeopardy she regularly receives death threats. a few years ago the threats almost became a reality. was kidnapped arias that is going to be almost like life was in danger i knew they'd either kill me or let me go but i had already seen our faces. let's get back to so i was sure they would kill me and about that you know they get this yeah one of them said it was time to make this just year. old so maybe i won't either one asked me if i had a last wish. there would be more than. god bless you.

for joining the care and turning my daughters into orphans was there in the gussie's i was there in the us and let god like your path and may you be well get they will mean look i mean rick i asked him for a boy really and. the words moved the kidnappers they let her go. so yes and i mean once you're on the cartels list they can kill you at any time with or without a bodyguard. just a few days later a colleague of hers was kidnapped she knew him and had researched the drug scene with him as well 2 weeks later his body was found in black plastic bags. family is constantly aware of the danger she faces every day. her sister loud and daughter always worried about her isn't. still there. i'm sad because i know that something can happen to her that are.

because i know that she's not safe when she's working grow up you. still see both are very proud of you. yes but she's always given 100 percent and 100 percent extra in. the report was produced by deduce the matter who joins me now welcome you know so what is behind this this increasing number of murder journalists in mexico well mexico is indeed the deadliest country for journalists a war zone so since 2006 there were $143.00 journalists killed and mexico just last month actually in june. was killed right on her doorstep she was shot dead 2 gunmen and you have to understand the context in mexico is that local politics and

organized crime are very much intertwined so local politicians many of them are actually bribed by the drug cartel and also parts of elements of the police too so as a journalist if you cover you know topics like organized crime the truck trade or politics then you really easy you know displease these actors and you really easy get on the death list of these cartels ok i'll swear i was the situation for journalists developing well according to reporters without borders there is increased fear and increased violence that journalists all around the world are actually facing and also the number of countries where you know that it was perfectly fine for journalists to work where there was maximum security and everything's fine these countries actually declining now and also at the same time you have authoritarian regimes like saudi arabia for example where there is no press freedom but also the

situation is getting worse for journalists or everybody remembers the gruesome murder of the talks the last year and the saudi consulate in istanbul. that was a pretty clear message to journalists in the whole region well beyond the borders of saudi arabia and that we're talking about you just all sorts there in regimes in war zones in developing countries where journalists are in danger no we're also talking about europe for example saw the country is that i was just talking about the number of countries which. climbing press freedom is actually declining and there are many countries in europe so i'm just a naming motto for example 2 years ago. i was killed last year and slovakia he was mad and also in germany the situation is getting worse for journalists so with the rise of the far right and the right wing extremism and also partly because of right wing you know politicians were harassing media in front of their crowds the danger for journalists has increased so they are actually german

journalists and journalists in germany who are physically attacked who are you know threatened massively. marilou thank you so. this is d.w. news live from berlin still to come india's one hold to violence or threaten not only by poachers but also by monsoon rains as the waters of brown patra right river rising on the most become sitting ducks will find out how national park rangers were to protect their lives. germany's defense minister also from the law is in brussels on a charm offensive trying to win over lawmakers to support her bid to become european commission president she was nominated by e.u. leaders a but she still needs to be confirmed by an absolute majority of e.u. lawmakers and she may encounter resistance over frustration that e.u.

heads of government ignored the lead candidates from the main parliamentary of blocs the so-called spits and counted out in their horse trading over top jobs. maps hoffman is the w.'s brussels bureau chief he joins us from the european parliament welcome. how do you rate the lines chances. well she's 376 votes in the european parliament and like you said she's been on a trip now for about a week meeting with all the important people and especially with the political groups the easy one of course was her own group the conservative european peoples party but today was the hard part she met with the social democrats and you can still see the sign behind me that's where we just heard the press conference of the group leader and it seems that the social democrats especially the german social democrats are not convinced one of those from the s.p.d. so a german maintained he will not vote for his country woman. and spite of the fact that

this would be the 1st german commission president so a lot of opposition here but the whole group so the group as a whole has not made up its mind yet they want to decide whom to vote for so for or against. next week so what does she need to do what does she need to promise to bring them on side. the difficulty is that she needs to promise different things to different groups because they have different agendas but she needs at least 3 groups so the conservatives the social democrats and the liberals who have the majority that i mentioned earlier for the social democrats it was very important to know what would happen to their spits in kind to their lead candidate plans to moments will he become the 1st vice president of the european commission apparently he will but there are other topics of well just to give you an example how split those groups are for example on the article 7 procedure against eastern european countries like poland who are not respecting the rule of law in the eyes of the

european commission so apparently wasn't too tough on the polish in one political group because she needs their votes but here the social democrats want her to be very tough regarding this article 7 procedures so apparently what she's trying to do is be rather vague on those questions to get as many people on board as she can. and if they say no if she didn't she isn't charming enough what happens that. well there goes summer holiday if this happens because it means that we are back to square the 0 that means that has a state government the leaders of the european union would have to come back together and make another proposal because the thing is underlined only gets one vote so the european parliament doesn't have the chance to express again its disagreement with how things went down with the whole procedure and then in the 2nd round say ok all right we've expressed our discontent but will vote for her in the

2nd round no only one chance right there and if she doesn't she doesn't get that majority then we'll have to work with a completely different candidate later on and most likely would take a while to figure out who would be. mass hoffman in brussels thank you. to the united kingdom now the 2 remaining candidates who become conservative party leader and therefore prime minister have faced each other in a t.v. debate for the 1st time and the biggest disagreement this is between the boris johnson and jeremy hunt came over their approaches to britain's departure from the european union mr johnson a former foreign secretary is expected to win the balance of party members if he does you know have a broad set deadline to meet of just over 3 months as a tough negotiator jeremy hunt had previously accused barsa johnson of being a coward for not meeting him in a t.v. debate earlier when the 2 finally fronted up hunter came out swinging the current

foreign secretary asked johnson if you would promise to resign as prime minister if britain didn't leave the european union by the 31st of october johnson said doing that now would simply be a gift to e.u. negotiators. deliver a deal i think it's very very important not to envisage any circumstances in which we would fail to come out of the e.u. on october 31st i don't want to hold out to the e.u. the prospect that they might encourage my resignation by refusing to agree a deal once accused johnson of being motivated by personal ambition i asked for a straight question and he said very clearly before that it was leaving on october 31st to do or die and i think it's do or die for the country but not a prime minister who put his own neck on the line and that is not leadership the candidates would then asked if they were prepared to bypass british parliament if it rejected leaving the e.u. without a deal and parliament i think would be

a rather curious thing to do if this is about taking back control for parliament to actually shut it down so my answer to that is no how about you force well i'm not going to take anything off the table any more that i'm going to take no deal or no on off the table mr jones then came perhaps the toughest question and the lightest moment of the evening. what one quality do you may start my in your opponent as a future prime minister. i think i value the i vy greatly admired his ability to change his mind all i had campaigned for bret's it not once response i really admire boris his ability to answer the question. there's this great supremacy you ask him a question he puts a smile on your face and you forget what the question was the final question now is if this debate changed any of the voters' minds or if it's too late many of the

unaware of the dangers drawing near with months in season. flooding forces these animals to higher ground along the park's southern edge and closer to humans it is this. we have many other human activities the search for didn't get them to school. so we have a little started though everybody supported at school activities. these markers show just how high the waters can rise with the overflow from the nearby brahmaputra river. some years it's total submersion. but there's another danger these rangers guard against as they patrol the reserve an area nearly the same size as hong kong. to escape the flood and they come out of the jungle areas. that time their prime

targets for poachers. during monsoon season the grass can grow head high perfect cover for poachers seeking the ultimate prize rhino horns. up 213-0000 euros apiece on the black market such a windfall often pushes the poor into poaching 5 years ago poachers called more than 2 dozen rhinos but that number fell to just 6 last year authorities credit a sharp boost in the number of rangers on patrol now 700 strong. and this year a new special rhino protection force is being deployed recruited from nearby communities. their mission to stand watch over one of india's most vulnerable national treasures.
