editors meet for a global conference on media freedom we take you to mexico where journalists risk their very lives reporting on drug lords and human traffickers plus the algae growth accelerates in the world's oceans we'll find out why a look at some of the areas most affected. are in little rock thank you so much for your company everyone a court in germany has sentenced in iraq a migrant to life in prison for the rape and murder of a 14 year old girl in all the case prompted a public outcry here because the suspects should have been deported over his asylum application when it was rejected instead he was allowed to stay in germany and kill the girl last year. life imprisonment for 22 year old shot that's the toughest sentence allowed under german law the judge said he had shown neither compassion no

remorse process son his mother this made it even harder i was right on the one hand i'm grateful for the verdict he can't do anything to any girl or anyone else anymore but on the other hand it still doesn't bring my daughter back. in may last year but have raised and murdered it's a son a 2 weeks passed before any trace of her body was found acting on a tip from another migrant who had been living with bashara police discovered susannah's corpse next to a railway track in a hole covered with dirt and branches the rejected asylum seeker and his family fled to northern iraq but he was arrested that and handed over to german authorities he confessed to killing says santa but denied raping her. son his father said he was shocked by bashar unrepentant massage and mystic remarks

as well as others at the trial. and says. the perpetrator showed no remorse empathy or understanding that he could have done something wrong could this was really a crime. and as the presiding judge also put it as if the perpetrator trying to blame others implying the girl was promiscuous and her death was her own fault and that he is not guilty at all some of the more to improve to go. far right wing groups have seized on the case saying it shows the government's migration policy has had disastrous consequences thought he's had denied by request for asylum and he was supposed to have been deported long ago the extent of his crimes means he's unlikely to qualify for early release. faces another trial on charges of raping an 11. year old girl. we say here in germany there are renewed fears for the health of

germany's chancellor after she was seen shaking again in public to see a 3rd time in the past month that under america was seen in this condition at a public event on this latest occurrence happened as she stood with finland's visiting prime minister watching at military honors to mark is one of. our let's get you more now with our political correspondent simon a young simon the chancellor seen in public again shaking this is the 3rd incidence within a month how would you make of it yeah i think it's it's concerning to see this again 8 each of these 3 incidents this is a happened when the chancellor has had to sort of stand still for a while the 1st time was during a visit by the ukrainian president zelinsky back in the middle of june and indeed it was a very hot day that day the johnson said then though she just had to drink some

water she was dehydrated and felt better off it was the 2nd time a week or so later it was a ceremony indoors it wasn't particularly hot so concerns were raised it hasn't been all that hot today in berlin so you know the questions remain people will look at this with concern health and also of course the question about whether it could affect work. now when asked about it she seemed to shrug it off what exactly did she say. yeah she's put this down to the ofter effects of that previous incident the 1st time the this was filmed and she says that she's been dealing with it and she's been making progress she didn't specify exactly what that means and she thinks that it will disappear again the problem you know as quickly as it came but she said that she feels

fine and that she is completely confident that she can do her job essentially she's saying you know there's nothing to worry about bear with her but of course you know there's not actually any explanation for what's what's causing it in particular other than to say that you know people have suggested it's a psychological problem she's kind of become worried about whether she will start shaking in public and that is to sort of amplifying the effect but that is of course all speculation i mean this is the 3rd trembling spell that has occurred in public do you think that her explanation will quiet down some of the concerns that people are starting to have but i think there's a culture in germany of not inquiring too much into personal matters into health matters and perhaps people will be ready to accept these these tentative explanations angela merkel has

a pretty good reputation for being in work she hasn't missed a day jaring any of these incidents so far and she has a punishing she recently took part as she's mentioned in the longest e.u. summit of all time so it may be that she just needs a bit of time off over her summer vacation which is coming up relatively soon and then she'll be back at work but if we see these incidents again i'm sure the questions will continue and i click will correspond simon young thank you. germany's defense minister earth life on the line is in brussels on a charm offensive trying to win over lawmakers in her bid to become european commission president while she has she was rather nominated by alien leaders but to get that job she still has to be confirmed by an absolute majority of members of the european parliament now she isn't countering some resistance over

a frustration that the e.u. heads of government ignore the leading candidates for the main parliamentary blocs in their horse trading over topic posts and let's get you more on the how this charm offensive is going down max hofmann is you know we use brussels a bird chief and he is closely tracking developments for you there max good to see you can't miss says there's a wrong ally and win over all those skeptical any peace and convince them that she's the right candidate for this job tracking is the right word lay low we've been following it all day all around her meetings with different political groups and she said something today which is news because she hadn't said anything in about a week and it is a carefully crafted statement she tried to give something to everyone for example she said she would fight for minimum wage clearly something angle towards the social democrats she also said that climate neutrality by 2050 was

a must for whom that was for the greens she also said that small and medium enterprises in the european union were the backbone of the economy something for the liberals here and she's saying this in 3 different languages in german english and french to show how european she is so you can't say that she's not trying out so she gets points for efforts what are some of the concerns any piece have. the concerns are 1st of all what you mentioned of course that she was not part of this very long. process so the process that involved the lead candidate for most of the political groups here with the hope that one of those lead candidates would become the president of the european commission so a lot of these members of the european parliament have a grudge with her because she was not part of that she was discussed by the heads of state and government and the european parliament doesn't like that they want to

have the power in this case but they didn't so that's one part of it and then of course during the grilling with the political groups you have topical concerns so what she thinks of this what she thinks thinks of that and that the problem is that she can't be too concrete and many parliamentarians told us she was kind of vague because once she gets very concrete on one topic let's say for example migration that might go down well with one political group but it won't with a political group that's on the opposite spectrum of politics so that's why she's careful trying to get a majority through through this strategy what happens max if she doesn't secure the backing of the majority of the any piece we're not there yet but if she realizes that she doesn't have enough votes she might try to postpone the vote with the help of the political groups until september doesn't look like that at the moment but if she goes down in flames next week in strasburg where the plenary of

the european parliament needs that would be well a pickle to put it in the british way because it would mean that we're back to 0 and the leaders of the european union the head state government will have to come back together and figure out who else they could nominate because there's enough on the line has exactly one chance if she fails she can't be put up to another vote i max hoffman out reporting for you from brussels thank you very much max. i want to talk now about some of the other stories making news around the world britain's ambassador to the united states sir kim darrow has resigned days after the leak of confidential memos in which she described president donald trump's administration as quote inept on his resignation comes after the president hit back describing serkin as a pompous fool and british prime minister to some a as foolish when she backed her to put out. the united states wants to build

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 the some $99.00 reporters killed among the most dangerous countries are gonna stop where 15 reporters were killed doing their jobs last year 11 were killed in syria and mexico is the deadliest place to be a journalist outside a conflict zone 10 reporters lost their lives there last year and the news a met with a journalist in mexico who risks her life every time she goes to work it's easy to see now but i got a call a desperate voice saying we found bodies again the reported 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. reports life that we went all the

time or hello we're in one it 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 of whistles playmobil said about it was most likely. well the manager 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 scene a lot drug cartel. by covering the story puts herself in jeopardy she regularly receives death threats. a few years ago the threats almost became reality. was kidnapped are yes i was going to be almost my life was in danger i knew they'd either kill me or let me go but i had already seen their faces was good practice so i was sure they would kill me about

that when they do this yeah one of them said it was time hasn't made this just year . old girl never want to either one asked me if i had a last wish. they were there more than. god bless you. for joining the care and turning my daughters into orphans because they're in the gussie's of this there in the us i have let god like your password and may you be well get they will read the book i mean like i asked him for a boy really and the 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. 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.

stanley is constantly aware of the danger she faces every day. her sister loud and daughter always worried about her mental isn't. killed there. but. i'm sad because i know that something happened to her that i'm. ok though because i know that she's not safe when she's working. still both are very proud of. yes but she's always given 100 percent and 100 percent extra. all right and we can take you now to london to edison lanza he is a special operator for freedom of expression for the entire american commission on human rights and he joins us from the global conference on media freedom in london sir thank you so much for coming on the show and that we just aired

a report i don't know if you had the opportunity to listen in that show just how bad the state of press freedom is in mexico and it's a similar situation in some of the countries in that region why do you think that the situation is worsening for journalists. thank you for 4 but you buy me more in fact mexico he says of the morris because one of the bold because marcus is in the indictment for their ongoing violence again john this is the biggest problem for for this country on the impunity of the border. in the past 10 years and we insist on the underline that the their government need to give some stapes. kind of this to you know to protect journalists and to to fight against the unity and you got to fight the cases but we have also problems seen in different counties really the situation

but it's really. us. related with the decision and. you know coming of they out of 3 some governments and we have other kind of like teaching like. media. journalists that to. run in venezuela and i knew that i was for doing a journalist and therefore impress in many cases you know exposure for the country and i'm not sure you know the the pressure of the private media in those in those countries and engine it out we have a narrative against journalists and you guys did the media in many many many countries in the region around. us but you know previously in the congo

would have been initially i mean not a country and this environment it's very very easy. for the press right it's very detrimental in some cases as well now your hope home country incidentally if you're a great has the best press freedom rating in south america what is your grade doing different and what can the region in the world learn from your way. or years if you think that you and other conflicts like costa rica chile also argentina. now while the war is doing some steps well in the in the in the in the core of the way the core of direction no one of the you know their main you know challengers in the region has to change their frame war the story got a legal framework that i stick for youngest british and i'm well who are you for example you know him or if i did the criminal row again against the brace like

defamation does i got to another. prove some reforms in 10 of those like sex information and. 2020 countries now have access to information in different democracies in latin america and i know you know really really quickly response for these axes when there is attack this is the difference it's under attack no. i think that this their main their main their main and you know broadus that we want in other countries making. your great leading by example edison allows that special operator for freedom of expression sir thank you for joining us from london. next up a scientists are sounding the alarm about the growth of intercontinental algae in the world's oceans a huge mass has just been located off the coast of south america and sometimes it's toxic and kills wildlife like dolphins and turtles and seaweed is another form of

algae and it's starting to take a toll on the tourism industry. the caribbean and the gulf of mexico are tourism magnets boasting some sandy beaches and crystal clear water but this picture is being disrupted by an unwelcome visitor like here at a beach in tulu mexico which now looks like this sargasso muted him 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 ton carpet of alkies stretched all the way from africa to central america but what has caused this explosive spread this idea is the 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. can double their mass within 11 days and if they have access to enough nutrients 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. used even in italy every year it's different but there seems to be more as the years go by. when a little cleaning itself 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 that's been like that but instead find it covered in only.

what's worse is the effect on marine life sea turtles for example cannot make it to the beach through the thick i'll be meaning they can no longer lay their eggs they're a serious threat to an already endangered species. all right let's talk now to make where you're walking in florida is a professor for us you know a graphy at the university of south florida and one of the authors of the latest reports on the algae amat in the atlantic ocean professor wang thank you so much for coming on we greatly appreciate it and do we know exactly why there is more and more algae and seaweed. thanks for the tension so we have found the only problem or a study and way beyond those of linkage between their race and nutrients supply into the ocean into the race and sarcasm. and the neck could be a. factor it's. rooms so what should be done concretely about it

is there anything that can be done about it. actually we have found that because of the increase in deforestation over activities and also the fertilizer consumption in the basin and the nutrients supply can be increased you through this process and if we can do something this that would definitely help. how many different types of dangerous algae are there out there because when i think of algae i don't think danger i think healthy. actually i want to make one count clarification so this kind of algae is not harmful or to a lot of marine life actually in open water so i guess them is a good thing to a lot of meringues fish in crops turn those and burners they use this is that you haven't had the refugees so it's actually a way that a lot of ecological value so when you say no water so it only becomes upwell them

when too much of the sag asked them study to appeal in on the coast on a beach so then it will be home for the coast so ecosystem and also bought by the tourism for obvious we reason yes so now if this proliferation continues with these harmful algae or at least they you know where they are currently what what happens. so i think the impacts will be huge to the coast so ecosystem and also for the for the human house because some people have breaking problems because of this when the case of a now by the smell like rotten next so that's that's not good and local tourism fishery and so that's the coastal part when he's in the open ocean and we see a lot of so i got them and that means a lot of biomass and also the huge impact to the entire marine ecosystem we need to

further investigate what that would mean you realize there's so much of them out there. professor wang thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us thank you. thank you for us ation now to new york city which is in full party mode as the u.s. national soccer team returns home with the greatest trophy in the game the world cup on the team made its way through the year canyon like streets of lower manhattan the financial district where the greats and the good have been celebrated in tickertape parades for more than a century the u.s. team beat the lens in the world cup final on sunday and have been heralded as game changes for the way that they push themselves and the equal pay issue in the sport . all right you're watching it you know where your news up next made in germany gets to grips with the shift to
