12:04 pm
it we couldn't eat it in a daily basis all we got was cabbage and rice with a little salt. and we drank pronunciation of water that we collected from the air conditioner done what i would. from a tool and his crewmates are now back hiring and they've taken photos and videos to document their experience experts say the fishing industry is riddled with forced labor and a predominantly targets pool workers from southeast asia. once on board there's no way out for the men and they often mercilessly exploited. and as cremates say they're owed thousands of dollars in unpaid wages. we're going to go what i worked for a way for my family so they could be proud of me when i returned home but the reality was different from us a lot are coming when i asked the recruitment company for our rights they said
12:05 pm
you're a stupid idiot we just want to ask for our rights after working for 7 months when about how many. numerous n.g.o.s both local and international have run the alarm about the slave like conditions that seem to be commonplace on fishing vessels across the globe but it hasn't stopped men like these from falling into the hands of traffickers. in an aegis ministry of manpower is among other things tasked with the protection of its workers that brought the department head acknowledges the problem but says it's difficult to monitor labor conditions at sea. it up a little bit but the little. need to study 1st whether the information about the abused seafarers is true or not. we must rely on data and facts so we can enforce sanctions lawfully in that countries for that but we don't want that. but as a raw material and has foam a cremates no doctrine facts difficult to obtain when you're at sea with no one
12:06 pm
watching you know because he got in the local t.f. i might get on me now anti-government protesters in hong kong are refusing to back down this morning hundreds of demonstrators disrupted train services by blocking the doors of commuter trains it's part of their campaign to increase pressure on the government to give in to their demands for more autonomy from mainland china. a big rush hour and one of the world's most densely populated cities in the subway system commuter chaos. activists have blocked the train doors. calling for democratic reforms an independence from beijing's rule the protesters hit where it hurts the daily grind of hong kong's economy. not have a meeting at time and is 8 hours off my thing my work and eating to play. our freedom safety and human rights and to get away and that part way
12:07 pm
so i'm ok with that philosophy is so great because i think the government should respond to the mom of the city. otherwise 3 people off the road these are. the protests began over 8 weeks ago against a proposed bill that would allow suspects from hong kong to be extradited to mainland china. on air for trial. the bill was shelled but demonstrators are now demanding its complete withdrawal. they're also calling for hong kong leader kerry lead to step down and for greater autonomy the lawmakers in europe and the u.s. have weighed in many defending the protesters and saying the police have used excessive force the chinese government said that this was hypocritical. i got a call that our what if you asked the u.s. police if there were a similar violent attack on the police in the united states in washington d.c.
12:08 pm
or in new york city how would they respond i think everyone can imagine the scenes i got to clean. beijing has not addressed the protesters demands for more democracy instead it insists on a return to order and hong kong. that some city lawmakers have taken the side of the movement saying beijing is out of touch my impression of hong kong is simply a fundamentally wrong if the so far away from hong kong people whose real listen to me is the of the demonstrators would most likely agree and they seem willing to continue the near daily disruptions until their message gets through. and our correspondent phoebe kong is in hong kong she told us why empty government protesters have targeted commuters for this latest demonstration this is
12:09 pm
a kind of civil disobedience action to better question and i'm dashed time to take on more rather a rather more. approach. we can now. take a more like. less controversial way to talk to boys and express their views and actually this is not the 1st time to blow off the natural eye and they always do they usually just do it during the peak hour and battle stations so this is not something like we could expect that maybe it happened or are more like in the coming future we have to say that the behavior of hong kong police today is more restraint compared to what they've behaved played over the last week and today
12:10 pm
there there is no direct confrontation between police and the protesters. police was not exploited by inside the metro station to our to try to outrun the action off the coast test it is that they're just carting on the streets and that's just they on the streets and the entrance of the metro station trying to direct the crowd to take other kinds of public transportation and so on there's like a big contrast between the last weekend and what happened today. when i'll get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world brazilian authorities say that at least 57 people have died during a prison riot on the north of the country officials say that brutal fighting erupted between rival criminal groups and be all to meet a prison in state the death toll may still rise. a military plane has crashed into a residential area impacts and not far from the capital islamabad at least 17 people were killed most of them civilians on the ground the crash destroyed several houses

12:13 pm
prosecutor spokeswoman had. it's just been speaking this morning and she's been saying they still don't know why the men did miss this what we know so far is that he and this is what we know by the investigation of the police authorities and also witness reports the man pushed the woman and the 8 year old boy on the train tracks where a train was coming in to frankfurt train station the boy died when the train came in the mother was able to save herself and the suspect has now been detained by police authorities he's not been giving any indication on why he has done this what we know so far is that he has been tested negative for alcohol there's also no indication the man has been taking drugs but there's also no indication if there is any case of psychological issues with this suspect and yes so we're now waiting for more details of this investigation is absolutely horrific and it is getting a lot of attention here in germany just fill us in as to why well because of course
12:14 pm
this is a very emotional. incident this is something that has brought the public the attention of the public here in germany this was a scene where you know germans are kind of going on holiday this is the big train station there was a relaxed easy mood and then out of a sudden this happens so this has been quite a shock for the german public a very emotional case with a little child dying and a mother surviving but also one particular detail of this case has ignited a rather controversial debate and that is the nationality of the suspect he is of eritrean nationality his lift in switzerland this is what the public prosecutor's spokesperson told us he's lived in switzerland for several years now he's. a father of 3 but i am his foreign background has caused like a very extensive phobics of bait on social media in germany and this is to be considered in the background that since the refugee crisis in 2015 we've seen
12:15 pm
a rise of xenophobia here in germany and this case is so prominent in fact that germany's interior minister. has broken off the holiday in order to deal with this what are we to make of that well public security is a very the very front and center of his responsibilities as the interior minister here in germany and with that case with the shock of the case also came to question how secure public train stations are in germany seen a similar case in fact a couple weeks ago in north rhine-westphalia that doesn't seem to be enter elation between these 2 cases as far as the prosecutor's office says this of course the question how easy kind of beach for some violent acts like these to happen in germany and this is something the public takes a lot of interest in in germany at the moment and is asking for a response from the german government political correspondent max 1000000 akashic thank you. now u.s. president donald trump calls yet another controversy over the weekend by calling the city of baltimore
