a job new scientist has been given the green light to start experiments creating human animal embryos the goal is to grow more human organs for people who need transplants but what are the ethical ramifications and the former saudi chief rupert stadler is formally charged by german prosecutors for his alleged role in the diesel kate scandal. a lark thank you so much for your company everyone in a controversial move germany is tightening its laws on migration and asylum one aim is to make it easier to deport asylum seekers whose applications have not been successful well last year journey deported nearly $25000.00 failed asylum seekers but more than $31.00. 1000 additional plan d.
7:02 pm
for tissues didn't take place well the main reason often being that documents are missing or the people due to be deported have gone into hiding now with this new bill asylum seekers will be penalized if they refuse to cooperate and it will become easier to detain failed asylum seekers ahead of their deportation to abuse mark that went to munich to find out how germany's deportation procedures work in practice. 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 christian coupe 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
7:03 pm
the last minute to try and avoid deportation as i remember them and it's not by their always on 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 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 didn't. say that those people. somebody get support from an n.g.o.s munich or refugee council that helps him when he deals with
7:04 pm
officials and needs legal advice the refugee council is critical of the new deportation that you lesions. the stared at him as compared to being completely deprived of their rights not only that but 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 good. authorities 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. here she was for 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
7:05 pm
a dealt with 1st then comes everyone else the president and by the gestalts 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 couldn't meyer thanks 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 is it is murders to new york 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 he holds them in contempt because he has to leave the country that is how i distance myself from the situation or it's over the weekend a visit from your fiancee or. the migrants from nigeria have long since landed back
7:06 pm
home for the time being they may not return to germany their train is over. now a germany's foreign minister has said this country will not join a proposed u.s. led mission to protect shipping in the persian gulf while the u.s. has asked allies to help protect vessels as they pass through the strait of hormuz because of heightened tensions with iran germany had already expressed skepticism about the proposal saying that priority should be given to diplomatic efforts to deescalate tensions for mr hagel maass had this to say while on a visit to poland. now on the german government will not participate in the sea mission proposed and planned by the united states we are in close agreement with our french partners in this regard we think the strategy of maximum pressure is wrong we do not want a military escalation we will continue to work with diplomacy. peace after this
7:07 pm
now to japan in what could be a ground breaking scientific development japanese officials have given approval for experiments that aim to let the 1st ever hybrids of humans and animals be born scientists hero. is leading a team conducting this research well 1st his team plans to take embryos from animals and implant human cells inside them next they would place those embryos in host animals starting with rats as the hosts the rats would carry the modified embryos to term now if all goes to plan those rats would give birth to a new kind of rat capable of growing human tissue inside it the researchers would like to study extending the process to other types of hosts like pigs which could grow larger organs well the researchers ultimate goal here would be growing human
7:08 pm
organs to give to people in dire need of organ donations but the plans to raise many many questions both scientifically and ethically and to help us make sense of the ethical side of this i'm now joined here on set by the very own ethics experiment martin gak a good to have you here with us what could possibly go wrong i mean this is a 1st of its kind it's not quite a 1st of its kind in the sense that america is this is the mix essentially of 2 different animals dean this has been done before and that's a matter of fact even with humans has been done before but it has really never. and allowed to proceed on the 14th day in japan and in different countries all of the sort of pros are never brought to term the difference in this particular case is that this is actually being allowed japan is giving the green light to take the process fully through and actually bring this pregnancies to term now in rats and mice and potentially report point out in biggs this is actually sort of
7:09 pm
a really kind of a watershed moment mainly because in a sense this is a technology that we have had for really quite a while. and it's been very clear that given the lack of regulation and this was going to happen in places where it could not be controlled at all. standing is that there it's into if it community has reached the point in which we descend or stupid that the neediest there that the capacities there and that essentially the pandora box it's already been open so it is it behooves this government just initially find solutions to take this technology farther ahead so is that why dupin decided now to give it the green light with the blessing i think tacitly from the international side well the interesting thing about this particular team is that the head of the team is actually working both in the us stanford university i believe. it's in the talk of the university context a speech in these ahead there is actually
7:10 pm
a very important sort of background bits of information to this which is that a few years ago. in a similar experiment by and chris was essentially developed inside a rat which was used to cure diabetes in the mouth into a mouse into which it was planted so the point of this story is that the benefits that are be civil from this kind of thing for humanity by and large so to say are actually brissie i mean especially in a situation which we have people that are in dire need of transplants and things of the kind this is the horror ice and this is kushan now the elite scientists spearheading this experiment says there are no ethical. issues there what do you think is and i think you know i think that there are clearly ethical issues i mean among other things because there is sort of a question as to what what is number one the status of the fetus essentially which has human material i mean this it have does it have any sort of entitlements or kind of things that we would normally give humans but then the further problem and
7:11 pm
i think that this is the one that's really that's really at the top of the list is that these experiments cannot be fully controlled the process of essentially nation of genes could actually turn into all sorts of things that idea a study in doing this step by step they will be able to control for instance for the fact that some of these implants could turn the rat into a some sort of sent and being in the brig similar to humans this would be actually a massive massive ethical problem but we're not there yet so i think it's most important that we do not look at this in the frankenstein way this is not a frankenstein experiment this is an experiment that he's actually quite limited but they shoes are actually on the table and you think in the forseeable future we could see more and more of these ethical debates take place i don't think we're going to see the debates and i'm not entirely sure what the wisdom of bringing this debate into the public discussion because a lot of the problem
7:12 pm
a lot of the brum in general been in this particular case is that these are extremely complex technicalities that cannot be adjudicated by people who simply have the sense that there might be something a food we need a lot of information that is very difficult to process this goes to say that it's really agencies experts get them mixed up should be in the process of doing that nonetheless what we can say beyond sort of a doubt is that this is no play and this will continue to be pushed unstoppable marketing gakkai thank you very much shit what to say now about some of the other stories making news around the world. the african union has condemned the killing of 4 student opposition protesters in sudan earlier this week while the students were shot by government forces in the city as they protested the country's army rulers while the opposition signed the outline of a power sharing agreement with the military government just reeks ago north korea
