this is news coming to you live from germany type. migration and asylum one aim is to make it easier to deport more failed asylum seekers now many fear that time could soon be up and they will be forced to leave but why do so many deportations but also coming up u.s. democratic candidates face off on television the party is seeking to the woman or man most likely to be in the 2020 election but as an ideological divide emerges

it's still unclear whether the moderates or the progressive swill win the day. plus we look at why traditional ideas about masculinity are still in the healing process in rwanda 20 years after the genocide in that country and what one group of men are doing to try to overcome the problem. of residents of one moscow district testing against plans to build a new motorway nuclear waste dump for why they don't trust the authorities to protect them from radiation. hello i'm terry martin thanks for your company in germany deported nearly 25000 failed asylum seekers last year but more than 30000 planned deportations did not.

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 the changes are controversial. techniques airport a dozen 93 and 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 cook of my own 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 the moments in the day are always my worry about. 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 for. 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 us let's not leave because we are not see if you want to see. what through what we think. we have been done i mean i think if someone don't know what is probably you 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'll ations. the certain is no compared to being completely deprived of their rights not only

that but here are dehumanised because this is no longer a matter of an individual's fate but the families are split up or whether the person is sick this is a matter of carrying out to potations for the sake of raising the statistics so i am sure to stick to its. 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 the people. people who have committed offenses have priority on deportation flights or those who are in danger of public order and safety that delinquents and people consider the threat a dealt with 1st then comes everyone else. that's why 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 kumar think twice even if they trust the system could go higher thanks abusive officials who accompany deportees such as spitting and biting is on the rise and witnessing deportees inflicting injury on themselves is stressful. it goes any further with this murder mystery new york sort of 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's how i distance myself from the situation or it's 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 training is over . a political correspondent much money on it costs is with me in the studio

much lately on that tell us more about these changes to germany's deportation law specifically i know there are a number of other laws that have been changed in in relation to that but why were these laws why was the deportation law changed well jim and he has recently passed a couple of migration is the german parliament has passed a couple migration those and this is due to the fact the germans government and germany itself is coming to terms with the fact that it is a migration country this has been a long time in the making that's often been calls for new migration laws and what we seeing now is a couple of laws that especially look at the way deportations are being handled this is due to the fact that we had in 2015 immigration crisis and an increase of asylum seekers here in germany and not every of these asylum seekers have grant have been granted in the solomons those who have to be deported those deportations are in need of being more hands efficiently according to the government and these new laws are supposed to handle those deportations more efficiently and make sure

they're being processed properly. so how many people are we talking about here how many people could be affected by the changes to this deportation well in the last year resew we saw 2000 we saw 25000 deportations in germany but another 31000 planned deportations didn't go through because once the deportees were in hiding there were also travel documents missing the identities haven't been clarified yet sometimes also pilots refused to take these deportation flights through and now with the new no they're trying to tighten the these kind of regulations specially and those will not be incorporated from the depot taishan so for example deportees chemist taken into detention earlier and to the dictation process and longer and they can also be detained in regular prisons and this was specially something that a lot of opposition politicians and also a saddam activist have been criticizing him germany ok so much for deportation so

you mentioned there was a whole package of laws regarding migration what about migrants who are allowed to stay what's changing for the well again germany has coming or is coming to terms with the fact it's migration countries also embracing parts of this migration increase so for those who are coming to germany even asylum seekers coming to germany seeking a job here they can get easier with this new proposed or like past law they can easily get german language course integration courses but as part of this newly passed floor this also the idea that those who are coming with qualifications to germany but i'm not members of the european union member states that those citizens can also get with the right qualifications easier work permits here in germany as we're desperately in germany seeking more qualified walk us so law is changing much millionaire culture from our political desk thank you so much. germany is refusing to join an international naval mission in the persian 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 vice chancellor all of scholtz has rejected the white house request saying that he does not intend to quote sleepwalk into an even bigger crisis for tensions running high between the u.s. and iran so it doesn't take much to tweak a conflict recently don't trump said a u.s. vessel shut down an iranian drone because he felt threatened 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 lit mission but one supported by washington that would in the previous

agreement with france and germany. i fear of the britons are making the same mistakes they did during the iraq war they're too close to the americans we as europeans to talk to some 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. request to take part in the mission but has not committed any vessels and politely declined but now the governing coalition is called in after lemma. we believe that you have to deal with iran as a reality of the country also believe that we should not accept iranian state piracy in a drill be dangerous if the europeans signal to your own that we won't do anything and that's the real danger that. 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 us. it makes sense to ensure the safety of ships in the gulf but only if such a mission helps to deescalate tensions balance would no longer exist if we broke with the americans if you do not separate the american us and the iranians you can be a short shorts will 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 headlines around the world today at least 28 people were killed and 10 wounded when a roadside bomb blew up a bus in the western afghanistan province of. the victims were mostly women and children this latest in a string of attacks as the presidential campaign in afghanistan gets underway. north korea has launched to short range ballistic missiles. it's

a 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 such a pen japanese prime minister shinzo says there's been no impact on his country's security. protesters in hong kong have again brought rush hour public transport to a halt the demonstrators crowded onto train cars preventing other passengers from boarding and causing delays it's a continuation of their non cooperation campaign demanding democratic reforms in the territory. it's still more than a year away but in the u.s. the democrats are already gearing up for the 2020 presidential election 10 hopefuls hoping to win the party's nomination have clashed in a t.v. debate the candidates addressed issues such as immigration and health care but the democrats biggest challenge is stopping president don't trump winning

a 2nd term. it was billed as a political blockbuster. these democratic candidates met for a 2nd time to spawn live on t.v. . they sang out of the same hymn book during the rendition of the national anthem but old unity disappeared when a fierce debate ensued and progressive like bernie sanders clashed with more moderate candidates like john hickenlooper not going to go you know but there was one thing all contenders agreed upon trump must go but we have got to take a lot troublous racism is sexism settle phobia and come together and it on president one president that grassroots movement to not only defeat trump but to transform our economy and i'll go up that 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 it's senator elizabeth warren reminders of rivals that in spite of the differences democrats will soon have to unite to defeat their common enemy 5 shirts away from a 100 donald trump disc graces the office of presidents every single day 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 for 10 more democrats will debate each other on wednesday it will be some time still before the party chooses a candidate to try and unseat trump in the 2020 alexion i.

our washington correspondent all over south had followed the democratic 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 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 roaring applause for their policy proposals and among them are free healthcare free education and of course decriminalization of immigration and it was some of the

lower polling candidates that took some punches against 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 there any consensus in this debate about races. well this is really a field where they all spoke with one voice were they an anonymous anomalously come down to president trump's recent attacks against 4 nonwhite congress women against black congress men alive cummings and the city of baltimore in recent days sensually they're arguing that president trump is stoking fears to mobilize his voter base bernie sanders called trump in this debate tonight

a race is. 3 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 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. is not necessarily making it easier because we're now having a record number of 20 presidential candidates participating in this t.v. debate they have 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 to all oversell it there in washington. now to a country still deeply scarred by the genocide 25 years ago nearly all the killers in the 1994 must slaughter. many have served time in prison but now want to heal themselves and their communities or corresponded well in a corridor ball has been to the city of design you in western or wanda there she met some of those struggling to come to terms with the past. when the mall today these men sit side by side in community based social sarah p. to share their experiences during round. the 1994 genocide 25 years

ago when up to 1000000 tutsis a moderate hutus were wiped out in just 100 days but it were divided among those who carried out the killings and those who survived it. memories of being on the run and how his pregnant wife had to give in hiding to pivot. when we couldn't find a way that baby would survive being with us but i still had friends who i was doing business with they helped me and they took my newborn mcknight's to woman who run an orphanage at. the baby stage but a few days later at the perpetrators when they had to look for him they took my baby and killed him but i don't know. lives a peaceful life with his wife. but he struggles with the guilt of not being able to protect the 12 members of his family who were killed during the genocide similarly from release perpetrators like at least to have served their sentence are still

haunted by what they call the shame of their past he says he's guilty of killing 4 people including to members of his own family. came to realize that i can't escape my judgment i accepted it and went to ask my father in law for forgiveness it was too much to handle the fact that i had killed my mother in law i was in so much pain. many of the men returning from prison have struggled they found their families estranged i wrote as the head of the household challenged in the image of their very own masculinity destroyed. they say these feelings however cannot be talked about in public. although man always has to be strong a man has to suffocate his pain and behave like a man. the way i see it a man should also show his emotions in rwandan culture i can accept it in public. amounted to overcome his pain. then swallowed it tears that's

a local problem here in rwanda which reflect the dangerous side all men are expected to deal with their pain and grief alone in silence and internally although the country is hailed as a role model reconciling with its violent past toxic image and lets continue to persist and continues to have the healing process of its me a population. away from social pressures and the east and done i'm glad they have found a safe space to reconcile and work on the psychological. therapy helped. because we used to fear each other. 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. but. 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 their emotions and their society learns to accept that. you don't use melanie curragh deval there reporting from rwanda people in the russian capital moscow have been protesting against plans to build a new road near the site of a nuclear waste dump the authorities say the construction work poses no risk to the local community the residents say they do not believe the government has their best interests at heart a 3rd determined to stop the project emily sure what reports are to be there

yet but if you think that dangerous levels of radiation that's what nuclear physicist under a radiation counter tells him every time here moscow's pauli metals factory started dumping nuclear waste on this scale in the 1940 s. and fifty's when the area in the south of moscow wasn't yet part of the city so far the radioactive material is contained under a layer of clay but the activist insists that the plant highway could cut straight through to nuclear waste collection cup parts they might start digging up the soil and moving it around without taking into account what is contaminated that they will be released into the atmosphere and anyone who breathes that song will get radioactive nuclei into their lungs and. he has been giving informal tours of the spot to journalists and locals just this sign warns of radioactive contamination and these are the sorts of signs you might expect to find near

a nuclear power plant but they're right here in the city of moscow. local residents like are worried about what could end up in the river and in their long. if you know that there's nuclear waste to say about they aren't going to touch it then it's not to worrying but knowing that they're going to build a right here and all this waste can slip down the hill that's really scary. says locals have always known about the nuclear waste in their neighborhood the site is partially closed off but the riverside nearby is popular with the residents. of view from above shows just how urban the area is the nuclear waste site is slotted between a park and moscow's main river the mosque now the plan is to build a fly over parallel to the railway bridge here construction is slated to begin later this year the city says the new road will ease traffic in moscow and they insist that construction is safe. people to move them which the soil will not be

disturbed. by support for the flyover will be built its foundations will be up to 5 metres below the surface we've carried out studies of the saw it at that depth and there were no radiation measurements above the norm there and the road went touch the ground here but i didn't want to put people in the area don't believe the author already they recently held a protest against the highway which people here see as the latest sign their government just doesn't care about the signs here read road of death and warn of a 2nd term noble catastrophe. lives in the high rise apartments across from the plant construction she grew up here and has been fighting the highway since march. smythe. from my point of view they're committing a crime against the residents who live here i don't know whose interests are driving them but they are in no way considering our interests. we're going through

the frustration here is palpable but the other protesters want to keep fighting with petitions and protests. to make sure their homes and their city stay safe. he only sure when reporting there just reminder the top story we're following for you here today on day to be news germany is tightening laws on asylum and like gratian the hope is that the changes will enable the authorities to deport more failed asylum seekers some 26000 were reported were deported last year with more than 30000 planned deportations failed to take place. watching t.v. and there's still to come senegal is one of the world's biggest ocean polluters when it comes to plastic that's despite having a bad plastic bags we look at the government's plans changed. that and much more still to come up with monika journeys in our business section
