tragic reality behind. the exploit. starts july 24th. this is the. guilty verdict the life sentence in a murder trial but public. an iraqi whose asylum request was rejected is convicted of killing a 14 year old girl in a case that has fueled a heated national debate about migration violent crime also on the program. going

to back home seen shaking in public again and about this is renewed concerns over the german chancellor stuff. looks closer to get a parade for america's latest sponsorship of the u.s. women's football team after its world cup. i'm phil gayle welcome to the program. a court in germany has sentenced that iraqi migrant to life in prison for the ripe and murder of a 14 year old go the case prompted a public outcry because alibre shah was supposed to have been deported after his asylum application was rejected instead he was allowed to stay in germany and kill

the girl last year. 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 bashar raped and murdered susannah if 2 weeks went by before any trace of her was found police discovered the son of spidey 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 santa but denied raping her. during the trial susannah's father said he was shocked by bashar unrepentant misfortune istic remarks so where others. clothing with newton 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. you know dances does. that right ring populist have seized on the case saying it shows the government's migration policy has had disastrous consequences authorities had denied bashar siloam and you were 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. was killed more than did abuse chief political correspondent melinda crowe who's been following this story welcome. despite this life sentence people are still concerned and saying that it's too lenient why. one of the harshest sentences that a german court can hand down and 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 do pull 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 with ali the shy and his family the procedures have been tightened up since then and if you look at public opinion the young 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 clean 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 of 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. you're watching the news live from brother very renewed fears for the health of germany's chancellor after she was seen shaking again it's the 3rd time in the past month america has been seen in this condition in public this latest occurrence happened as she stood with finland's visiting the prime minister until they were watching military almost to mark his arrival. more from d.w. political correspondent 5 in the front of our welcome 5 year what more can you tell us. well what was already said she had these incidents before it was always in

situations like that where she had to stand still the 1st time it occurred when the ukrainian president selenski was in berlin at that time it was a very hot day in berlin so her self said afterwards that she drank 3 glasses of water and felt fine afterwards and that she was all obviously dehydrated and at that time that was very understandable for everyone but then weeks later she had a similar incident and that was inside it was cool and so that was the moment when people started to speculate and worry a little bit because one always has to bear in mind and has a reputation for being very good physical condition she has hardly ever missed a day due to illness and so this 3rd incident now today is somewhat irritating for many here in germany so what is the chance to say well she held this press conference she seemed perfectly fine and she was laughing and she also said that

she had met the finnish prime minister just a couple of days ago ago at the longest e.u. summit ever so just to give you an idea of her schedule date leave and then she was asked in this press conference directly on on this shaking and maybe we can just listen what she said to this. at this time fine i said recently that i've been dealing with this since the last military honors with presidents in n.c. this is obviously not completed but i've made progress and i would have to live with this for a while but i feel very good and there's no need to worry about me make it to the airport. yes so this is the message of i'm going i'm fine there's no need to worry but obviously there are people who do worry about her so clearly this is a personal issue for the chancellor but she is the child's the political implications around the haitians. i mean one has to say that in germany there's a culture of of great respect in dealing with personal matters health matters like

this and we haven't heard a politician for example demanding more information on these incidents and it might as well be that she just goes on holiday now later in the summer she will go on holiday relax and come back and everything's fine i mean we know that she has already said that this will be her last term in office and so far she hadn't had to skip any of her appointment she held her schedule as planned every day even during those those deadly incidents so maybe she just returns and everything's fine from holiday if not those questions will remain on her state of the front of us thank you. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world to britain's ambassador to the united states a 2nd darrick has resigned days after the leak of confidential members in which he described president trump's administration as inept his resignation comes after the

president hit back describing mr cain as a pompous for british prime minister theresa may as foolish when she backed the diplomat. the united states wants to build a military alliance to safeguard the strategic waters of iraq and yemen the u.s. says it aims to guarantee navigation in the strait of hormuz and man down both crucial trade routes and this comes as tensions between washington and tehran escalate. american rapper nicki minaj has canceled a concert in saudi arabia senshi wants to show support for women's rights in kingdom instead as you're supposed to headline the jet world music festival next week but backed out of a widespread criticism of the kingdom's fumin rights record. the new york city is in full party mode as the u.s. national football team returns home with the greatest trophy in the game world cup

. currently making their way through the canyon like st. manhattan's financial district the greater the gold have been celebrated in ticker tape parades for more than a century. the navajos in the world cup final on sunday and happen how old it is game changes for the way they push themselves and equal pay issue in the sport. we'll hear from our reporter in new york in just a moment 1st a word with tom not get on. well take a look at those live pictures as we as we speak but. what set this team a pot in the tournament well in the end a fair few things i mean they went in as one of the favorites in the tournament but there were quite a few favorites who were tipped to possibly take home the top 2 this year but in the end the usa showed themselves to be the best team at the tournament by a fair distance now if you look at a few of the other of those favorites norway for example among them they were eventually the by england and it was back on great england who were knocked out in

the far in the semifinal but they are the usa a similar story with japan a very strong team and finalist of course in 20112015 defeated by the netherlands and the netherlands with unconquered in the final by the usa the france of course the host with directly by the usa now one of the things that the u.s. have strength in this war is a lot of experience now carli lloyd krieger megan rapinoe tobin heath. on the pitch at the time of the foreigner in the foreign one sunday and for all of those sundays foreign it was the world cup final now you don't get that kind of experience without the talent and the professionalism that goes with it and those are of course. strengths for the players of an incredible unity among members of the team i think probably the key thing that sets this team apart that was their confidence. and it was bordering on arrogance they were criticised

perhaps you know. occasionally overexuberance. assurance but for an opponent when you're playing against a team with that level of self belief it really makes it very difficult and of their own abilities it's very intimidating and fortunately for the usa there are always able to back that up with actions on the pitch and stay with us we're going to cross to new york or we're going to have a word with a reporter who's actually at the parade in new york he is benjamin. joins us on the line well what surprised like. i don't know show me york it's amazing it's a family party thousands of people have gathered here in downtown manhattan to greet their will champions a lot of 9 a lot of children and a lot of girls also be far more than just play a role model in this play is that it's an amazing atmosphere right now why has this team have such an impact on the country. and of our own people a and me that it's

not just because of their performance on the field the exceptional t.v. they started playing against thailand with 30 goals that's the record itself they woke up at 3 but also because of their actions off the field so many elsie. so this is a game that is likely to have a long term impact on the u.s. game. absolutely not just on the u.s. game it's possible that they also change the image that people have worldwide about women's soccer when we look at the ratings when we look at how many people follow this well kept it definitely won't change from molding just the image that people have of stalker here in the u.s. what they want there was a championship last sunday. i would have people made by the way that players like the mega rip a no make sport with politics. most of them when you

are a person in the public interest that you're also always talking of all about political they think it's a strong statement yesterday she gave an interview to c.n.n. anderson cooper thing that she would like president trump to include everybody and now we have to see if she already the whole team will be as if the capital they've got another indication there but they say that is correct and it's important when you have such an important that is in the society to also you know to get things like that we're talking to thanks for joining us benjamin alvin is a group of there in new york clearly having a good time. can't back into it with tom get away from w. sports not suddenly stuck here in studio with. this figure but not last fall into this as a team that is likely to have a long term impact not just on the u.s. game but across the world yeah absolutely i mean i think it's also important to places in the kind of context of the world cup as it has been so far this summer. i

think it's probably fair to say fair to say that we've experienced a watershed moment for the women's game in slightly more general terms now cool pictures like this are going to have a fantastic impact in the u.s. and the fact that they're going to be seen around the world you know they're also not going to be forgotten too soon but they say in many ways was the biggest tournament for the women's game in. history in terms of investment in terms of the attention that it's received we've heard countless records being broken you know in terms of viewing figures in many places around the world of course though to go back to these team moments like this really require kind of figures of identification and icons that's what makes a moment like this very memorable and in making rypien oh alex morgan when we see pictures of them driving through manhattan on an open top bus we can champagne after the tournament that they've just had you know pictures like that are going to hang around in the memory you know for as much as this team has done i think it's also important to say that you know the women's game in general has been taken

a fair bit more seriously after this tournament and you know when people look at eventually talk about the rise of the women's game 2019 is going to be an important moment in that story tom get all the data to support thank you for . the 1st global conference for media freedom which has begun in london as part of an international campaign to highlight the importance of a free press reporters without borders has described last year as the deadliest on record for journalists with $99.00 killed amongst the most dangerous countries afghanistan where 15 forces were killed just during that jobs 11 were killed in syria last year and mexico is the deadliest place to be a journalist outside the conflict zone 10 reporters lost their lives there last year. has met with a journalist aid mexico who risks her life every time she goes to work. yes. the

scene apart i got a call a desperate voice saying 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 get that and 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 case we have these women's loved ones have disappeared here we can see the bones are wessels playmobil said it was most likely all the money that has been reporting on the searching mothers for years in 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 reality. was kidnapped i.e.s. 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. just get back there so i was sure they would kill me about that or know that you know this yeah one of them said it was time to make this just year. old girl maybe i won't matter one asked me if i had a last wish. there would be more there so i said 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 i let god like your password for and may you be well get they will mean look i mean rick i asked him for a boy really. how words moved the kidnappers they let her go. to c.s.s.

and i mean once you're on the cartels list they can kill you at any time with or without a bodyguard. that's 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. seen a stanley is constantly aware of the danger she faces every day. her sister loud and daughter always worried about her isn't. it i'm sad because i know that something can happen to her. though because i know that she's not safe when she's working grow up though. still both are very proud of. yesin but at the go she's always given 100 percent and 100 percent extra. the chinese

anticorruption activist who campaigns for officials to disclose their wealth is reported to have been arrested and charged with promoting terrorism chance arrest last week in beijing came as china clamps down on critics of the communist party what prompted his arrest is unclear it's unusual for china's human rights activists to be accused of terrorism is the child's wife says she fears it means her husband will receive a heavy prison sentence with more here's data correspondent matus bullinger in beijing. trying as if this isn't who has previously focused on the visual corruption he's part of a movement of citizens that sprang up in the beginning of this decade who are mainly focusing on governance issues and human rights issues he has disappeared in 2014 and was sentenced to 2 years in jail that time after being released he refused

to shut up he's been detained again just prior to the 30 years anniversary of the chinaman crackdown that was earlier this year in june and has disappeared since then he's been charged with propagating extremism and terrorism that's a very severe charge and one that has rarely been used on dissidents before you might face many years in jail and this charge indicates also that we may be seeing another severe crackdown on dissidents here in china. it is building up in beijing where scientists are sounding the alarm about the growth of intercontinental alleghany in the world's oceans a huge mass is just been located off the coast of south america sometimes it's toxic and kills wildlife like dolphins and turtles seaweed is another form of alchemy and it's starting to take a toll on the tourism industry of the caribbean and the gulf of mexico our

tourism magnets postings sandy beaches and crystal clear water but this picture is being disrupted by an unwelcome visitor like here at the beach into lou mexico which now looks like this sargasso me to come a brown algae which spreads rapidly is upsetting the sensitive ecosystem the seaweed can reach a length of up to 16 meters growing up to 10 centimeters a day and it does more than upset the local tourism industry according to a recent university of south florida study algae growth has reached an intercontinental level since 2011 the sprawling plant has spread to more and more parts of the atlantic ocean last year a $20000000.00 ton carpet of alkies stretched all the way from africa to central america but what has caused this explosive spread. one aspect is the rising temperatures of the oceans are so global warming supports the

growth of the 2nd aspect is an abundance of nutrients these can double their mess within 11 days if they have access to enough nutrients up due to the deforestation of the amazon jungle huge amounts of nutrient rich soil washed away into the oceans . several luxury resorts spend hundreds of thousands of euros each year cleaning their beaches once the algae reaches land it decomposes creating a pungent odor. in every year it's different but there seems to be more algae as the years go by when cleaning it out puts a huge strain on local authorities and it's only going to be honest this stuff affects all activity on the beach you're expecting to find a clean sandy beach. but instead find it covered in. what's worse is the effect on marine life sea turtles for example cannot make it to the beach through the thick algae meaning they can no longer lay their eggs they're

a serious threat to an already endangered species. it's just time to remind her of our top story at this hour an iraqi asylum seeker has been sentenced to life in prison for the right and murder of a 14 year old girl in germany the case has fueled a heated public debate about migration and violent crime. is d.w. life from ballet coming up next to each of the asia small shops such a concert skyline the new normal in the indonesian capital activists assuming the government. i'm going to take you to the front line of the daily battle between humans and monkeys in india's capital. pressure on israel how about those stories are. just a moment in time line of her lead iraq will have more world news for you at the top
