really t.w. . this is you know we news live from berlin germany tightens its laws on migration and asylum in an effort to speed up deportations of asylum seekers who have not been granted the right to stay in the country while those with pending applications now fear that time might be running out for them and they might be soon forced to leave also coming up tensions flare again in hong kong where more than 40 anti-government protesters appeared in court charged with rioting after

demonstrations over the weekend and a former ally the cheat rupert stadler is formally charged by german prosecutors for his alleged role in the diesel gate scandal. thank you so much for your company everyone in a controversial move germany is tightening its laws on migration and asylum i want to aim is to make it easier to deport asylum seekers whose applications have not been successful well last year journey to poor nearly 25000 failed asylum seekers but more than 31000 additional plant deportations didn't take place in the 1st place the reason often being that documents are missing or the people that are due to be deport. have gone into hiding well now with this new bill asylum seekers will

be penalized if they were fused to cooperate and it will become easier to detain failed asylum seekers ahead of their deportation did have years mark era of went to new nick to find out how germany's deportation procedures work in practice. 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 and it's not by our 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 to be sure that you know my 40. some bubba boost 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 this is. what to what we think. didn't have been done i mean i think if someone don't have what is probably you don't fight so i think is would also to point you to those 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 make a nation state. the stash tatton is now 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 or whether the person is sick this is a matter of carrying out to potations for the sake of raising the statistics scientistic. 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 by a people's for people who have committed offenses have priority on deportation flights or those who are in danger of public order and safety that yes so delinquents and people consider the threat a dealt with 1st comes everyone else because when and by the get started 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 john cougar meyer 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 murder mystery new york bureau and 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 just asked myself from the situation or over the week 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.

often more on this issue i want to welcome a francisco bill maher she is an asylum policy expert at amnesty international here in berlin good to have you here we dismiss bill maher germany has been trying to reform its migration policy for some time now are they going about it the right way with this new bill we have criticized the new bill a lot and this is because actually many laws have been passed in the last years and a very very speedy procedure and we fear that the experts and especially in this legal process procedure have not been here enough and this is why for instance the un committee against torture but also the human rights commission not by the european council have criticized the legal procedure and also our way of deporting asylum seekers that have been rejected in a nutshell what are some of the main concerns that you are musicians has the main concern is that actually putting rejected asylum seekers into custody or into

detention might become a broom instead of an expectation and. exception and actually it should be a measure of last resort this is why let me just add this maybe because the criteria the risk of scolding is now always something that is expected and there has been a shift the burden so the person who has been detained has to prove that in fact he won't of school and that's very hard is it legal in germany to detain people like the failed asylum seekers ahead of their deportation is there a bill that allows for that this is exactly what is coming up now and it will have also rules that make it much more easier. do you expect this to be challenged in court this bill i expect especially expect this to be challenge because now germany is planning to put together people that are in immigration detention together with people that are and criminal the tension this is been ruled out but the european

court of justice and through 2014 to violate european law but also of course the message being to all of those who are applying for asylum here in germany is don't go to the authorities go into hiding because the chances of you your application be rejected is so much higher and have you been deported as so much higher do you fear that there is going to be an increase of people resorting to remaining in this country illegally i don't think so i actually think it would be necessary to really slow down a little bit and look at the numbers and make evaluations of the existing laws right now for instance nobody talks about the fact that in 2018 actually more than i or about 40000 rejected asylum seekers have actually left germany and then we have a lot of doubts about the numbers that the government has been dealing with around surrounding this law they've been talking about 236000 people that are actually

obliged to leave germany out of which 180000 are actually tolerated by the. in office for several reasons because of medical reasons legal reasons or also because they are in vocational training and the number just include this a before we let you go the number of people applying for asylum have radically dropped exactly so the timing of this bill is there's no state of emergency all right thank you so much francisco bill maher from amnesty international here in germany greatly appreciate it. next we turn our attention to hong kong where more than 40 people have appeared in court they're charged with rioting at a protest on sunday with a largely peaceful pro-democracy demonstration that 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 authorities have charged people with rioting something pro-democracy activists strongly object to all defendants could face up

to 10 years in prison 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 open systems just people should be accountable to all good people but now the government is using the law to write for a peaceful protest i say followed as both passed and then the arrest was and then toss everything right. some took to the streets as soon as they heard about the charges. that this is the car that got thrown to. the right. that's the that's the was not there was this was

a protest on the side i think. that was that the tensions between police and protesters had escalated to only a few hours earlier riot police confronted protesters in front of the quiet showing police station. the officers charged into the crowd. but met with stiff resistance by demonstrators has pushed the police back and eventually forced them to retreat back to base. i the following day fierce winds lashed hong kong as tough and we 1st hit the city. as the storm clouds unloaded the political storm also shows no signs of blowing over. are not to some of the other stories making news around the world iran has announced plans to reform and rename its currency what's now called the reaal is set to become the toll mine and will should for 0 is in the process ordinary

broken 4 years ago the prosecutors are still bringing charges against a people they believe are responsible well the latest is rupert rupert stadler who used to head up the adi unit of the folks walking group for more than 20 years rupert stadler was one of the top executives in the german although industry today the former audi boss finds himself facing charges of fraud false certification and criminal advertising practices all consequences of his alleged role in diesel gas the emissions cheating scandal which has rocked the car industry in germany since details 1st emerged almost 4 years ago statler is accused of allowing sales of hundreds of thousands of folks wagon and all the models to continue after september 2015 that's when munich prosecutors say he already knew those same models had been fitted with illegal software that helped the vehicles

game missions tests. audi is part of the volkswagen group before joining audi shuttler was head of the board for the folks wagon group he served as audi chief executive from 2007 until october 28th in when he was formally dismissed a few months after being arrested by german police for his alleged role in the scandal he spent more than 3 months in custody before his release. the public prosecutor's office in munich say shuttler and 3 other defendants are being charged . already says the case is separate from the wider investigation into the carmaker's role in the scandal which was settled last october with an is 100000000 euro fine. our senior business anchor beneficial in joins me now here on this saying good to see you blast from the past take where are we at in this investigation this has been going on for years and years and years now since 2015 as you know even further back to the ninety's to the 1990 s.

when there were revelations back then in the washington post that these sorts of defeat devices were being used in cars and these sorts of discrepancies were being read. through inquiries the discrepancies between cars on the road and cars being tested. slowly but surely the authorities have been tracking down who's responsible for this and it takes a long time i mean you've got to go through company e-mails or raid their offices the u.s. authorities have been much quicker the german authorities are slowly starting to catch up and whereas v.w. always pointed the finger at engineers and all the bosses in the bosses didn't know what was going on finally the bosses landing in jail including mr sha'ath because this this process is so painstaking as you've just illustrated who else is facing prosecution dislocate it's not just mr stott lower of as we've heard today also the former out ian porter manager according to people who are familiar with the proceedings 2 engineers as well and $23.00 3rd the suspects are being investigated

the v.w. boss the big guy has to be into corn martin been to corn has also been charged with fraud as part of the wider investigation and basically where waiting to see whether or not all of this comes to trial i would ask is going to happen now for where do we go from here where do we go from here i know that i'm going to take my bike from here on i mean seriously as a consumer you've been cheated for years thinking that your. buying environmentally friendly cars and you know it you know these cars are just pumping out heaps more fumes and it's not just bad for you on the road but also for cyclists like me who have to put up with all the fumes from these cars but basically these comic is a going to try to put this whole affair behind them try to put it in the review mirror v.w. is doing a fantastic job at that saying that it wants to become the leader environmentally friendly mobility and it is starting to move to a less tricked vehicles but it's taken a long time a lot of the other comment is went electric

a long time ago. so they're going to continue doing that and they're going to continue raking in the profits because ever since this scandal broke they've continued making record profits year of the tell you go consumer confidence is not an apparently are right then physio and our senior business anchor and much more thank you very much greatly appreciate it. i want to tell you now about of ghana's because at least 30 people there have been killed and 10 injured by a roadside bomb in the province of fatah it's the latest in a string of attacks as the presidential campaigning season gets underway well security has been deteriorating across the country would both the taliban and islamic state fighters mounting near daily attacks. the victims were all civilians the majority of the dead women and children they've been traveling in a bus and a highway linking the 2 key cities of kandahar and tehran in western afghanistan

the bus then hit an improvised roadside bomb. i mean we were heading to kabul from hair out with a vehicle was hit by a landmine i saw many people martyred and injured there was no immediate claim of responsibility afghan government officials blamed taliban insurgents who operate in the area and are accused of planting explosives but a taliban spokesman denied the group's involvement. the latest attack came a day after the u.n. mission in afghanistan released a report saying that most civilian deaths in the 1st half of the year were caused by afghan forces and their international allies the report was apparently referring to civilians killed during afghan and u.s. military operations against insurgents. the bloodshed is expected to intensify now that official campaigning for afghanistan's presidential election is underway on sunday just hours after incumbent president kicked off his campaign at

least 20 people were killed and more than 50 wounded when a suicide attacker and gunman targeted the kabul office of his running mate amarillo solide once again civilians bore the brunt of the violence. so it was here mustn't feel lection will cost the lives of our poor people the poor are the main victims are myself i'm affected by this attack there is no one to check on my situation. i can't go anywhere i have no shelter and over a year over. with the taliban and other insurgent groups determined to undermine afghanistan's fragile democracy many afghans worry about further violent attacks in coming weeks. i'm now joined in the studio. dr peters min expert on of gonna start why is there such a spike in violence right now at this moment i think most of the time we tend to

forget that this has been one of the bloodiest was ever in the history and the past couple of years has seen a year by year an uptick in civilian casualties and right now there is a lot going on politically the presidential elections scheduled for the end of september but we also see a lot happening at the negotiation front and maybe this taken violence is also about leverage at the negotiating table. sites from both sides but what i was struck by in our report as well is that the un mission in afghanistan came out just recently and released a report saying that most civilian deaths in the 1st half of the year were not caused by taliban were not caused by the islamic state they were caused by afghan forces and the international allies yeah because this is a war without front frontlines you know this is a war hitting the villages hitting talents so take today if you have a planted roadside bomb that explodes it's meant to hit a convoy but it hits

a civilian bus you have civilian casualties likewise if you have an asterisk that is meant to hit taliban fighters who are in the village and that goes wrong you will hit civilians and that is precisely what's happening so we have a great increase in ass drags from the u.s. and afghan air force but mainly from the u.s. air force and that is hitting civilians and also ground forces moving during the night during night raids that is also hitting civilians though the intention might be to hit fight is what you illustrate there makes me think this is these are not the conditions that are right to hold a presidential election but they will be held. it's a little bit reading in the crystal ball because negotiations are ongoing right now that there will be a round of negotiations between the taliban and the u.s. so we might see if this might be a bargaining chip if you ask me personally the last presidential elections that i have covered have seen a lot of violence a lot of dying people and i sometimes wonder is it really worth it when what people

are asking for most right now is security and safety for their loved ones because a lot of my friends when they leave the house in the morning they are not sure if they will see their life once again in the evening so they always say goodbye as if as if it were the last time and the 20 seconds that we have left together is there a candidate currently running that could deliver on that promise to secure afghanistan for the people cannot just not get that on this earth because it's really such a quick my own you're looking really at 4 decades of war all right sondra peters men thank you so much i'm sure you'll be reporting from there and keeping us updated thank you. want to turn now to rwanda a country still deeply scarred by the genocide 25 years ago about 800000 people were slaughtered in 100 days by ethnic who threw who thi extremists they were targeting members of the minority tutsi community as well as political

opponents while the genocide has had lasting and devastating effects on rwanda and surrounding nations all every year wanda mourns those that were killed and it remains illegal to discuss at the city many of the killers mostly men have served time in prison but now want to heal themselves and their communities our correspondent melanie the ball has been to the city again see ye in western rwanda there where she met some of those struggling to come to terms with their troubled past it was awful when the mall today these men sit side by side in community based social sarah p. to share their experience of hearing run discovers the 1994 genocide 25 years ago that went up to a 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. dumbs memories of being on the run and how his pregnant wife had to give but in hiding of it. when we couldn't

find a way that the baby would survive open and being with us but i still had friends who i was doing business with they helped me and they took my newborn at night chairwoman who run an orphanage at. the baby state but a few days later the perpetrators went there to look for him they took my baby and killed him like a lot of them. done their lives a peaceful life but his wife in the senate 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 former released perpetrators like ever used to serve 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. i came to realize that i can't escape my judgment i accepted it i 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 had struggled they found their families estranged the role as the head of the household challenged in the image of their very own mescal in a t. destroyed. they say these feelings however cannot be talked about in public. and 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 its pain. and swallowed it years that's a local problem here in rwanda which reflect the dangerous side 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 of mescaline. and continues to have the healing process of its me a population. away from social pressure is done i'm glad they have found a safe space to reconcile and work on the psychological. sarah be helped. because we used to fear each other you know whenever i saw a person i had wronged. i could feel my heart racing. around the city and we have no problems with the perpetrators anymore because they are also part of the families of social therapy and as i say when we meet now we are the same we have the same heart. about each person and both of them can. the man of peace

a new 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. ditto views that melanie curry devolve reporting from or wanda for you here watching data over years up next made in germany looks at how many also value work and i'll see at the top of the hour.
