democratic candidates face off on television the party is seeking the person most likely to be donald trump by the 2020 election but as an ideological divide emerges it's still unclear whether the moderates or the progressives will win the day. i'm sara kelly welcome to the program germany has tightened its laws on migration and asylum the changes are controversial one aim is to make it easier to deport failed asylum seekers now last year germany deported nearly 25000 failed asylum seekers but more than 31000 other planned deportations did not take place often because documents were missing or the asylum seekers went into hiding under the new law asylum seekers will be penalized if they refuse to. cooperate and it will be
2:02 pm
easier to detain and hold failed asylum seekers before they are deported. mark a route reports on efforts to deport asylum seekers from munich and their efforts to resist. that munich 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 and it's not by their always all 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
2:03 pm
a proper legal process is being carried out you know my 40. 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 we don't assume. what to what we think. we haven't got money i think if someone don't know what is probably we don't fight so i think is would be to those people. some get support from an n.g.o.s munich or 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 lation. the stage that in is now. being completely deprived of their rights not only that it's led here are being
2:04 pm
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 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. to hear that. actually wins for people who have committed offenses have priority on a deportation plights those who are in danger of public order and safety delinquents and people consider the threat dealt with 1st then comes everyone else because when 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.
2:05 pm
think twice even if they trust the system could be minor things abusive officials who accompany deportees such as spitting and biting is on the rise and witnessing deportees inflicting injury on themselves is stressful. because it it was it is murder 3 new york 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 just ask myself from the situation or it's always worth is a visit from your fiancee or. the migrants from nigeria have long since landed back home for the time being they may not return to germany their train is over. of give more now we're joined by d.w. political correspondent maximilian akashic with us here in the studio to tell us
2:06 pm
a little bit more about these changes to germany's deportation law why were they considered to be necessary well the general reform of the german migration policy has been a long time in the making it's took germany quite a long time to realize and to come to terms with the fact that it is in fact a migration country but we've seen since 2015 the big migration crisis that germany has been in the needs of kind of regulating its migration policies more effectively and what we've seen especially in the report now is that in the last year we had 31000 deportations that have gone through one fact is that the difficulties go into hiding other issues are for example still not like figured out identities of the deports he's or documents being missing sometimes it's also preventions from pilots or activists but there was a need in germany to make the make the regulations more effective and with the new
2:07 pm
and also been passed by the german parliament. but haven't come into force yet these deputations are said to become more efficient and how about the migrants who are allowed to stay what changes do they have in store well these laws it's a bunch of laws have been passed by the german parliament and are said to be coming into force in the upcoming year those laws or any deportations but also that integration so one part of the law is also trying to make for those people who are seeking a job in germany who have not even very good but who have to chance of staying to get easier access to integration courses to language courses but also those people who are not coming from the european union who are not under the kind of privilege of free movement that those people who are qualified and can seek a job in germany that those easier having access to work permissions because this is coming back to the term germany knows that's needing more qualified work as it is becoming more my migration country and that these new laws have been passed by
2:08 pm
the german parliament and are coming into force that these those could help the next 1000000 acushla thank you. more than 40 people have appeared in court in hong kong charged with rioting at a protest on sunday the pro-democracy demonstration turned violent when thousands of activists clashed with police the protests have been going on for nearly 2 months but this is the 1st time that the authorities have used the rioting charge defendants could face up to 10 years in jail if found guilty. they entered the courthouse carrying umbrellas the unofficial symbol of hong kong's protest movement the citizens have been charged with rioting for taking part in protests that have pitted the people against the government and beijing their supporters thronged outside the courthouse crying foul. but there is some systems just people should be on the phone to all get to the truth but now the government

2:14 pm
now u.s. soccer boss and say that their women's team has actually been paid more than the men. but 1st at least 28 people have been killed and 10 wounded by a roadside bomb in the province of her bra in western afghanistan the victims mostly women and children were traveling on a bus when the blast hit it's the latest in a string of attacks as the presidential campaigning season gets underway security has been deteriorating both the taliban and islamic state fighters are mounting near daily attacks on afghan forces government employees and civilians. let's bring in d w correspondent sandra peters man who's an expert on the region and around the country so tell us we have this uptick in violence at the moment why do you think that is i mean we tend to forget that this continues to be for decades now one of the deadliest conflicts in the world and right now there is a lot of going on politically you know the complaint for presidential elections has
2:15 pm
started we're having negotiations at various places in the world between representatives of the taliban government and the u.s. and all of that is leading to this uptick in violence which has never really ceased . we have to say that there are negotiations currently underway between the united states and the taliban and we've also had preliminary talks between the afghan government itself and also the taliban why doesn't this show on the ground the fact that there is this dialogue happening right now i think nobody at this point is willing to compromise too much there has been no talk about a truce as of yet the truce that would show on the battlefield a nothing what they see at the moment as and his side trying to gain leverage at the negotiating table i mean the united nations has just released new figures of civilian casualties if you really take a careful look at not that black and white picture that most people would anticipate yes there are terrible attacks like the one we saw today but if you look
2:16 pm
at figures now you $1400.00 civilians were killed this year in the 1st 6 months alone and about 52 percent of these civilian casualties were caused by government forces and its international allies also through u.s. led airstrikes and you know we're also in the atmosphere of this presidential election you're right we have the elections scheduled for the end of september now they were postponed we know before can they be held under such circumstances i have reported on other presidential elections before they were all marked by. violence by corruption by a vote rigging there was with any presidential election an uptick in violence and we already have this vast amount of violence i wonder if it's worth it really to endanger people at this level when all that keep their really asking for at this stage is security and peace. peter's been with the latest on the story thank you so
2:17 pm
much. germany is still coming to terms with the brutal killing of an 8 year old boy pushed under a train at frankfurt station on monday hundreds of people gathered there to mourn the youngster his mother was also injured in the attack but managed to save herself a 40 year old man who's been charged with murder and is undergoing psychiatric examination the incident has set off an intense debate over safety at railway stations. for many summer's travel time here at hamburg central station that means packed trains and crowded platforms but after recent incidents of people being pushed onto the tracks german travelers are wary when i'm honest i'm busy i think people are a bit more cautious maybe stand further back a bit. it's time i always stand back as far as possible i do that or avoid falling onto the tracks psychologist saying zion he is normal after what happened recently in frankfurt and in the town of there to where people died after being pushed in
2:18 pm
front of trains. it's impossible to always feel safe that's an illusion as fear is an ever present force in our lives we must always be on guard this incident has shown that dangers look everywhere in our platforms are often crowded by the time trains roll into stations across germany countries like japan and china have a solution to the problem barriers that only open once the train has come to a standstill a similar system is used by stockholm's public transport service but even there it's not in place everywhere. security barriers help a lot when it's crowded at peak times lots of passengers crowd the platform. but according to experts installing security barriers at germany's biggest stations is not feasible there are too many different train models in use so the doors don't always open at the same part of the platform and the waiting time between trains is short. crowded platforms are a real risk regardless of whether someone is pushing people are not falling on the
2:19 pm
tracks can happen quickly when it's crowded and people are jostling for space it's very dangerous. but even the most stringent security precautions cannot completely prevent dangerous or even fatal incidence of many dangers that we have already accepted such as deadly car accidents bicycle accidents or even home and leisure accidents. only when there. as a new danger do we feel more threatened despite the low statistical probability a horrific crime. even if they were isolated cases the recent tragedies in germany will surely travel with passengers for some time to come. they can track your location listen to your phone calls and even access your photos or your text messages the so-called stalker where smartphone apps which are becoming more common it's now easier than ever to digitally eavesdrop on somebody without them knowing
2:20 pm
and is on this very important story for us so carl you've been looking into this what are the apps and how does it work in is kind of a terrifying story really is these are stalker where that refers to apps or programs that you can use to track someone else's phone and once they're installed you have access to basically nearly anything you want a lot of these apps they do have legitimate purposes or maybe parents trying to keep tabs on their kids for example but increasingly these are being used and abused by jealous partners by abusive lovers without the victim's knowledge we wanted to dig a bit deeper on this so we started actually by trying out one of these apps for ourself take a look this is my colleague and this on my phone is her exact location in fact right now i can see every move she makes she leaves work walks to the train station and heads downtown. i'm using a standard i phone app called find my friends it's meant for meeting people around
2:21 pm
the city but it's one of many smartphone apps that can easily be abused and turned into spyware in fact according to one study there are potentially thousands of apps for android and hundreds in apple's app store they could be used to track someone's phone and then there are so-called stocker where programs available outside the official app stores this app provides remote access to nearly everything including turning on a phone's camera. stock or where it is an excellent tool for domestic abusers it is in fact advertised to one of the stucco or companies featured a photo of a man holding a woman's risk the woman is looking down she has blood on her face and a black eye and it's very clear not only does this man abusing this woman because. she is she did it but that the company that is selling this product is on the side of the abuser installing stocco where on someone else's smartphone is surprisingly
2:22 pm
easy to do all you need is physical access to their phone and their passwords to things most partners or ex lovers already have. and experts say digital stalking is a growing problem a recent survey in australia found that nearly 20 percent of domestic abuse victims were tracked using g.p.s. and recent data leaks from stocker where companies revealed hundreds of thousands of clients the thing that is most disturbing about it is no understanding limits your abusers power so usually when you're being abused when your name spied on you don't know exactly what is being spied on and you don't know what has been compromised and when you don't know then it feels like the abuser is all powerful like they must know everything of course my colleague knows she's being tracked but most victims don't because once installed these apps can be very hard
2:23 pm
to detect. wow is it legal well spying on someone is not legal i mean that's what we're wondering as well how can this stuff exist that's the question right well for one many of these apps have a disclaimer hidden the fine print that says something like do not use this app without the other person's permission kind of covering their bases and of course as we saw that's the exact opposite of how many of these apps are marketed right the other reason is that many of the these programs have legitimate purposes so find my friends the one that we used as a different purpose but you can turn on the occasion tracking without the other person knowing you can even do that in google maps which is something that many of us use right so so that's why it's it's difficult to to stop this problem so what can be done to stop the problem there are a few things that we spoke with a couple of experts on this and here's what they want to see happen for one apple and google need to take this problem seriously they need to police their app stores get rid of the stuff that's that's that's just meant for spying on people anything that breaks the rules they should be much better at that they're operating systems
2:24 pm
could do a better job of giving an alert that says your camera has been turned on for example anti-virus companies could do a better job of detecting when this is on your phone and law enforcement needs to step up their efforts as well ok so i'm truly terrified thank you all for bringing us this story if you actually had to check your phone and make sure you change your password that's a good tip to ok thank you. it's 1000 now in american soccer the dispute over equal pay has taken a new twist that's after u.s. soccer the national federation said that it found that players from the women's national team had been paid more than their male counterparts in recent years now back in march the women's team started legal action against the federation they've described the findings as quote overs. the u.s. national team has dominated the women's game for decades a 4th world title proof of that but their success in france came amid a pay dispute with their own federation headed by this man carlos caldera even
2:25 pm
during homecoming celebrations earlier this month the coals for equal pay were never far away i the players assuming the federation i think gender and pay discrimination the federation having focused on supporting the team during the tournament has now responded in an open letter code terry said it's over an 8 year period the women were paid $34100000.00 compared to $26400000.00 for the men the reason unlike the men the women get a base salary of $100000.00 per year the men have to rely on bonuses alone the dero admits these can be larger. the women's team has constantly been more successful than the men who failed to even qualify for the last world cup they say their requests to have performance based pay the same as the man was refused in a statement their spokesperson said it was quote
2:26 pm
a sad attempt by the federation to quell the tide of supports the u.s. women's national team has received. this team has proved their winners on the pitch but the 2 sides in the dispute now heading for mediation a bigger battle offer it is looming large. international diplomacy is a careful balancing act but sometimes it can also be child's play a role of fluorescent paint seesaws spanning the border between the u.s. and mexico went up over the weekend in the american state of new mexico the seas all those are the work of ronald rajjo an architecture professor at the university of california he says the project aims to show that actions that happen on one side have a direct impact on the other. you're watching t.v. news live from berlin coming up next be the one those golden monkeys are being
