this is news coming to you live from berlin germany type tightens its laws on migration and asylum one aim is to make it easier to deport more failed asylum seekers now many fear that their time will soon be up and they will be forced to leave but why do so many deportations. also coming up u.s. democratic candidates face television the party is seeking the woman or man most likely to be in the 2020 election but as an ideological divide emerges it's still
9:01 am
unclear if the moderates or the progressive will win the day. plus we look at why traditional ideas about masculinity are still hampering the healing process in rwanda 25 years after the genocide is not a country and what one group of men are doing to try to overcome the problem but. hello i'm terry martin thanks for joining us germany to portage nearly 25000 failed asylum seekers last year but more than 30000 planned deportations did not take place often because the asylum seekers went into hiding or airline pilots refused to take them against their will now though the government is tightening the law to make it easier to send such people back to their country of origin as we report.
9:02 am
changes are controversial. at munich's 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 mio 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 and it's in the bay 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. for. somebody who is from senegal could be deported next he has lived in and around munich for 5 years
9:03 am
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 us let's not leave because we are not see if we are to see. what through what we think. we have been done i think if someone don't know what is probably we don't fight so i think. people. some get support from an engine in 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 stashed at an as isness compared to being completely deprived of their rights not only that those who fled here are being dehumanised because this is no longer a matter of an individual's fate but the families are split up all whether a person is sick this is
9:04 am
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 you but she was for people who have committed offenses have priority on deportation plights those who in danger of public order and safety that delinquents and people consider the threat a dealt with 1st comes everyone else because within them by the destruction 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 christiane kumar think twice even if they trust the system could the minor things abusive officials who accompany deportees such as spitting and biting is on the
9:05 am
rise and witnessing deportees inflicting injury on themselves is stressful. because of this. 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 he holds them in contempt because he has to leave the country that is how i distance myself from the situation or. the migrants from nigeria have long since landed back home for the time being they may not return to germany their dream is over. our political correspondent. is with us here in the studio this morning actually owe it to us more about the changes that we're seeing to germany's deportation law why were these changes considered necessary all changes to germany's migration policy have
9:06 am
been a long time in the making germany took a long time to understand that it's and fact become migration country and the new laws that we've just heard about that are going to come into facts and later this year hopefully are and fact just passed by the parliament. and now and these laws are focusing especially on tightening the rules because what we've seen after the. 2015 refugee crisis is that has been an increase of people come to germany asylum seekers and germany wasn't able to handle those. asylum seekers. efficiently and these new laws are aiming to speed up the procedure for those who have to be deported to me or talk a little more about this deportation law specifically how many people will actually be affected by these changes with respect to deportation well in germany in the last year there have been 25000 people being deported because they had no rights
9:07 am
for an asylum here in germany but another 31002 potations haven't been processed because either people were gone went into hiding couldn't be found to have been issues of just like an identified. people otherwise also missing documents and so now for those who are not being corporate if in the sense of the government to wood's deportation the lows are supposed to be tightened the people who are to be supported can be put into detention early in the process of the deportation and also for longer and this is something that's has gained a lot of criticism of the position and refugee activists especially because these difficulties can also be put into regular prisons instead of special deportations and just ok so much for deportation as you mentioned that there are big changes to germany's migration laws not just regarding deportation what about the migrants who are allowed to stay what is changing for the you will as i said jimmy has come to
9:08 am
terms with the fact that it is becoming a migration country and also the positive sense is needing desperately qualified workers so germany is trying to make for those coming to germany and seeking a job the. like the ways to be integrated much much easier so also for. those asylum seekers who are seeking a job they can attend german language courses they can only attend to gratian courses but also those who are qualified and just want to seek a job in germany generally but i'm not coming from the european union where we have free movement those people can also seek permission hand germany under the laws that are passed by the german parliament and are said to be coming into force thanks for explaining that for a c.w. political correspondent. for. germany is refusing to join an international naval mission in the gulf the u.s. has 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
9:09 am
germany's vice chancellor has rejected the white house request saying that he does not intend to sleep walk 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 trump said a u.s. vessel shot down an iranian drone because he felt threatened as everyone he has turned up the pressure and is now looking for allies. straight and to work with us in the future. he's already found one in the british cabinet the new foreign minister dominique robb 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 that the britons are making the same mistakes they did during the iraq war too close to the americans we use europeans should focus on diplomacy and deescalation so we should not take part in this u.s.
9:10 am
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 caught in a dilemma. we believe that you have to deal with iran as a reality we also believe that we should not accept iranian state piracy and a drill be dangerous if the europeans signal to iran that we won't do anything and that's the real danger. tensions have risen in the persian gulf since iran sees 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 u.s. . it makes sense to ensure the safety of ships in the gulf but only if such a mission helps to deescalate tensions dispense with no longer exist if we broke
9:11 am
with the americans if you do not separate the american us and the iranians you can . be fired and it's. germany's already taking part in the international mission off the coast of somalia but as britain steps away from a european mission it's unlikely we will see similar images from the gulf. now to some of the other stories making news around the world today at least 28 people were killed and 10 wounded when a roadside bomb blew up in a bus in the western afghanistan province of iraq the victims were mostly women and children is the latest in a string of attacks as the presidential campaign in afghanistan gets underway. north korea has launched 2 short range ballistic missiles its own yang's 2nd weapons test in less than a week south korea said the missiles were fired from the east coast and flew about 250 kilometers toward japan japanese prime minister shinzo is there's been no

9:14 am
a log truck it's racism is sexism set up phobia and come together in an unprecedented unprecedented grassroots movement to not only defeat trump but to transform our economy and i'll go our washington correspondent all over sally had followed the democrats debate and joins us now 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 a moderate candidate both scott roaring applause for their policy proposals and
9:15 am
among them are free health care free education and of course a decriminalization of immigration and it will some of the lower polling candidates took some punches against the 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 earlier was among the issues addressed in the debate we heard a couple of statements from individual candidates just a moment ago was there any consensus in this debate about racism. well this is really a field where they all spoke with one voice were the. anomalously come down to president trump's recent attacks against foreign on what congress women against black congress men alive cummings and the city of baltimore in recent days
9:16 am
sensually their arguing their president trump is still confused to mobilize his voter base bernie sanders called all trump in this debate tonight a race is. 3 better texas said compared 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 though there were 10 democratic hopefuls on stage there tuesday night another group of 10 would be debating wednesday night how was this long process of debates was so many candidates supposed to help the democrats be trill 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
9:17 am
a minimum threshold of one percent in polls 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 to all of a sudden there in washington. they're watching the news still to come they won the world cup but the debate over pay in women's soccer rumbles on now let us talk of bosses say their women's team has actually been paid more than the men at. delta rwanda a country still deeply scarred by the genocide 25 years ago nearly all the killers

9:21 am
a safe space to reconcile and work on the psychological. therapy helped. because we used to fear each of you know whenever i saw a person i had wronged. i could feel my heart racing. we have no problems with the perpetrators anymore because they are part of the families of social therapy. when we meet now we are the same we have the same heart. and both of. the men have the same use social therapy group hope to contribute to the healing of their country so that future generations won't repeat their mistakes by facing their demons together they set an example so that rundown men learn how to show
