and anyone on this stage tonight or tomorrow night would be a far better president i promise no matter who our candidate is i will work my heart out to be donald trump and to elect a democratic congress will call his racism out for what it is and also talk about its consequences it doesn't just offend our sensibilities to hear him say send her back about a member of congress because she's a woman of color because she's a muslim american doesn't just offend our sensibilities when he calls mexican immigrants rapists and criminals we have got to take a log trucks racism is sexism said a phobia and come together in an unprecedented unprecedented grassroots movement to not only defeat trump but to transform our economy and i'll go up with. our washington correspondent oversell that followed the democrats' debate and joins us now oliver how did this batch of candidates perform. well you

could tell there is a struggle going on within the democratic party there are calls for progressive almost revolutionary policies on the one hand side on the other hand there is this desperate need to defeat 2 president trump in the 2020 elections and some are saying that this would rather be possible with a moderate candidate and moderate policies however tonight was the night of the progressive front runners and those are bernie sanders and elizabeth warren and it was essentially them against the rest of the rather moderate candidates both scott roaring applause for their policy proposals and among them are free health care free education and of course decriminalization of immigration and it was some of the lower polling candidates that took some punches against them among them john hickenlooper john delaney for instance essentially they were arguing that their policy proposals are on realistic but they also had problems in landing their

punches and getting support from the audience racism only there was among the issues addressed in the debate we heard a couple of statements from individual candidates just a moment ago was already consensus in this debate about racism. well this is really a field where they all spoke with one voice an anonymous anonymously calm down president trumps recent attacks against 4 nonwhite congress women against black congress men alive cummings and the city of baltimore in recent days. they are arguing that president trump is still configured to mobilize his voter base bernie sanders called all trump in this debate tonight a race is. better texas said compared to actually his statements to the times of slavery but that said president trump is actually benefiting from

this whole debate his approval ratings have been going up and the democrats are struggling to find a way against it there were 10 democratic hopefuls on stage there tuesday night another group of 10 would be debating wednesday night how is this long process of debates was so many candidates supposed to help the democrats be true was not necessarily making it easier because we're now having a record number of 20 presidential candidates participating in this t.v. debate they had to meet a minimum threshold of one percent and paul's to participate in of course the overall number is even bigger in addition to that the democratic party is struggling to find out what the ideal political direction would be and on top of that it will take another year until the a presidential candidate will be nominated so lots of risks involved for the

democratic party as they are trying to find their candidate and their political direction all over thank you very much steve w.'s all over sell it there in washington. well germany is refusing to join an international naval mission in the gulf the u.s. has asked european allies to help protect shipping in the strait of hormuz a vital conduit for the world's oil tensions in the region are running high but germany's chancellor all of scholtz has rejected the white house request saying that he does not intend to sleepwalk into an even bigger crisis. tensions are running high between the u.s. and iran so it doesn't take much to trick a conflict recently don't trump said a u.s. vessel shut down an iranian drone because he felt threatened everyone he has since turned up the pressure and is now looking for allies. straight and to work with us in the future he's already found in the british cabinet the new foreign minister on

the right wants to create a european led mission but one supported by washington that would in the previous agreement with france and germany. i feel the britons are making the same mistakes they did during the iraq war it's too close to the americans we as europeans should focus on diplomacy and deescalation so we should not take part in this u.s. mission. the german foreign ministry said it has received the u.s. requests to take part in the mission but has not committed any vessels and politely declined but now the governing coalition is called in at the lemma. we believe that you have to deal with iran as a reality we also believe that we should not accept iranian state piracy and drill be dangerous if the europeans signal to your own that we won't do anything and that's the real danger. tensions have risen in the persian gulf since iran seized

the british tanker the u.s. and the europeans including germany share the aim of ensuring safe passage for ships in the strait even germany's opposition greens agree on an international mission but not with the us. it makes sense to ensure the safety of ships in the gulf but only if such a mission helps to deescalate tensions. longer exist if we broke with the americans if you do not separate the americans and the iranians you can be assured more shots will be fired and. germany is already taking part in the international mission off the coast of somalia but i sprint and steps away from a european mission it's unlikely we will see similar images from the gulf. now some other stories making news around the world today at least 28 people were killed in 10 wounded when a roadside bomb blew up a bus in the western province of dora the victims were mostly women and children is

the latest in a string of attacks as afghanistan's presidential campaign against underway. in pakistan at least 5 people have been killed in a bomb attack at a busy marketplace dozens more were injured in the blast officials say the device was attached to a motorbike and set off remotely it's not known who was behind the attack and north korea has launched 2 short range ballistic missiles on yang's 2nd weapons test in less than a week south korea said the missiles were fired from the east coast and clue about 250 kilometers toward japan and japanese prime minister shinzo says there's been no impact on his country's security. you're watching the news still to come they won the world cup but the debate over paying in women's football rumbles on now u.s. soccer bosses say their women's team. has been paid more than the men in. germany

deported nearly 25000 failed asylum seekers last year but more than 30000 plans deportations failed to take place often because the asylum seekers go into hiding or pilots refused to take them against their will now although the government has tightened the law to make it easier to send such people back to their country of origin as we report the changes are controversial. techniques airport a dozen nigerian nationals are taken to a chartered plane for deportation. 5 people on the passenger list are missing they may have gone into hiding 12 migrants board the aircraft accompanied by 3 times as many police officers. officer christiane kugel maya has been on many such deportation flights he says repatriation amounts to

a personal crisis for migrants many are desperate some even injure themselves at the last minute to try and avoid deportation as i remember them it's not they are always my worry about it i wonder how things are going to work out for them are these but then i figure if we're sitting in the plane with them that a proper legal process is being carried out you know my voice or. somebody who's from senegal could be deported next he has lived in and around munich for 5 years his asylum application was turned down he knows the rules for deportation are getting stricter and a lengthy detention is possible. is a feel for all of the thirdly because we are not see if we are to see. what through what we think. we have to go money i think if someone don't have what is probably we don't fight so i think. people. some get support from an

n.g.o.s munich a refugee council that helps him when he deals with officials and needs legal advice the refugee council is critical of the new deportation that you lay chanst. the stage that in is now compared to being completely deprived of their rights not only that those who fled here i mean do you mean noised because this is no longer a matter of an individual's fate but the families are split up with a person this sick this is a matter of carrying out to potations for the sake of raising the statistics scientistic good. authority to see things differently those in detention at this temporary facility at munich airport are legally required to be deported. every case has been reviewed by a judge. related to yeah i thought she would. people who have committed offenses have priority on a deportation flight these are those who are in danger of public order and safety.

delinquents and people consider the threat dealt with 1st then comes everyone else the person in and by the gastritis if it's not only criminals who are detained in the worst cases people who have committed minor violations such as signing a document too late could also be deported. that sometimes makes officers like. think twice even if they trust the system could get mired thinks abusive officials who accompany deportees such as speeding and biting is on the rise and witnessing deportees inflicting injury on themselves is stressful. because it is it is really going on so i try to avoid letting it get to me i think he doesn't mean me personally he probably sees police officers on the flight as representatives of the german state and she holds them in contempt because he has to leave the country that is how i distance myself from the situation or over the weekend

a visit from your fiancee were. the migrants from nigeria have long since landed back home for the time being they may not return to germany their train is over. their political correspondent max millionaire caution is with us in the studio this morning lets me out it tell us more about these changes to germany's deportation law and why these changes were considered necessary well these new immigration laws in germany have been a long time in the making it took germany and the german government a long time to register and to realize that germany has in fact become a migration country and one of the biggest impacts of that was of course the 2015 migration crisis when we saw a big increase in asylum seekers here in germany and these new laws are aimed at both the challenges of the rise of a sudden sickness in germany but also at the general challenges of being a new migration country and yes one of those laws is of course aimed at speeding up

the process for those who cannot stay in germany who are all being detained and have to be deported as again and so handle that persons more efficiently so how many people are going to be affected by these laws with respect to deportation i presume it's affecting failed asylum seekers but probably others as well well this . law of one part of this bill is actually 7 of those and this one specific one will be seen the report is aiming at those who are in fact to be deported we've seen in the last year 25000 deportations but another 31000 deportations couldn't be processed because the person could either not be found there were on resolved identity issues or missing travel documents and now this new law tries to tighten the rules on these procedures and in fact even detain these people soon and longer and potentially even put them in regular prisons this is something that has specially gained a lot of criticism from a position and yeah refugee rights activists so there are

a number of new laws as you were saying the report focused on one regarding deportations what about the migrants who or allowed to stay in germany who is either whose whose applications for asylum are still being processed or that have been approved is anything changing for them well yes because as again said germany is coming to terms with the fact that it's become a more more migration country and also tries to become more welcoming to those who are really keen to stay and so one part of these new laws is also trying to aim at those who are seeking a job they be able to get soon into german integration courses language courses for example and this is also an improvement on those coming from outside of the european union to seek a job and already qualified workers so qualified workers is something germany is desperately needing and those who are qualified workers seeking a job in germany but i'm not from the european union can do that now with the new laws as well as many other thank you so much d.w. political correspondent x. 1000000 of caution. a memorial service has been held here in germany for
