americans conservative c.d.u. party but now they want him thrown out of office for. just that it's not big a small industrial park a bakery a hotel and a pizza place but now many people in germany are interested in knowing how the small town and has in the center of germany elected stephanie outage a few days ago the politician from the extreme right wing n.p.t. announced on facebook that he was elected in the simple administrators of that but from the people for the people he added to his post the vote was unanimous including votes from chancellor angela merkel c.d.u. and her coalition partner s.p.d. one of the council members who voted for yonks defended the choice if those who can we are trying to help the people and address their issues that's all party membership doesn't play a role for us. stephanie x. has worked for the n.p.t. on the regional and national level for a key is the enough authority as have twice sought and failed to ban the party as

a threat to germany's democratic order the domestic intelligence service has kept close tabs on the party yeah actually has even shown up in the agency's report on fright wing extremists but he was democratically elected also because no other candidate was available the fuse approach that presidents a mixed bag in kind and it's a bad that there was no alternative no wonder he got into an event will never end so human time called would have life had to maybe it will have an effect and make politicians think about how their decisions are received by most people feel pretty cheap saw by their me outside their lloyd. was standing we have better people for the job is over. for each and no politicians were shocked by the choice. is here yeah action is a nazi even after the attempt to ban the n.p.t. he stayed loyal to the party which is close to hitler's nazi party and apartheid you know his and so on shirts and stupid shit but protest is now also mounting in

berlin. as it's going. nation justified yesterday there was a 1st special meeting of the committee in the aim is to apply for revoke ation if the election of that come to be implemented and put another candidate in his place and then we will have to discuss how something like this could have happened. to replace yosh the local council would 1st need to find another candidate for the job. and incredible story let's take it now to our political correspondent leone even hammerstein she's following it here in berlin good evening to you let's start with the basics here the n.p.t. party who are they well the n.p.t. certainly is an extreme right wing passy with the links to the neo nazi scene here in germany and as we heard in the report the domestic intelligence agency has for

years have been observing the n.p.t. and there have been several attempts to ban the patty there constitutional court in germany the highest court has indeed set that the n.p.t. is pursuing anti constitutional goals and resembles hit us and stamp a party and in 2017 the constitutional court stopped short of banning it only because it said they considered it too weak to actually endangered democracy you know all of this of course no one before stefan yosh was elected and yet the mainstream parties they are like them braised know what jackson's to him so why in the world today objecting now. well they certainly just didn't expect the outrage and the uproar that was coming towards them from the national political level i mean it's interesting to look at what the c.d.u. the members of the council said what the ag humans were in favor of electing jackson they said that there was no other candidate that he knew how to work well

with a computer he knew how to write e-mails and his party affiliation didn't play a role and then came the aprile at the national political level where senior political figures here in berlin expressing their outrage their anger and disbelief at these election and were also calling for this decision to be reversed and actually the half been a couple of steps taken towards that reverse so indeed 7 of the 9 council members have already submitted a motion to dismiss the an extremist as chair so it seems like they're really reacting to that political pressure from the highest level here in berlin that a saying no 0 tolerance towards the n.p.t. . with computer skills that will get you the job as a mayor what about the fact that there were no other candidates are the mainstream parties such as the change those conservatives. are they running out of people at

the local level yeah this is definitely what a lot of commentators have been drawing attention to most that and this has been no secret that's been an issue for years especially the big tent so-called big tent political parties because christian democrats but also the social democrats do really seem to have a problem to engage especially younger people at the local level to run for office and to engage in politics so this is what this case has shown. us tonight here in berlin let me thank you. reporters in indian administered kashmir are struggling to do their jobs without internet phone lines are mobile phone services more than a month after india suspend is the region's autonomy reporting from kashmir well reporters are facing some severe restrictions and an unprecedented communications shut down d. w. corresponded to me sure yon's wall traveled to srinagar in indian administered

virgine foghat in the snow sortie and writer we waited kiran full and you can said did have been going so many jonas haven't someone about the bald and officials why did to good from this information this they can say if sort of again said thread and quotient also that although occasionally brief think is that the like today when de bought to us i invited to hero from army and police of a show that's the focus of the briefing however is not on the situation and the shmita braddy it is on pakistan and its alleged efforts at infiltration officials insist that the past month has been the most peaceful and kashmir and shutting down communications has been a legitimate means to achieve that we have. done this. is. one of the move. in the west and this is a blow. but it isn't just troublemakers that the government is why did about

globes on the media are evident when security forces don't count as always reporters cannot argue i tell baba to declare that maybe in the absence of communication networks and reliable knew it was hearsay and conjecture on rampant if any to ask or to one off by security forces for example the people if you want it while it has broken out that there's no way to ratify it. these unofficial channels are amplified because dress the bins do not trust little creepy it was on national television news they believe those journalists are following the official line from the hindu nationalist government and refusing to portray the hardships on the ground. would be was merely don't get any news media reports fake news these schools are open shops are open traffic is moving but look around you you are in the heart of srinagar shops are closed schools are closed people are distressed on

the good news many of the news i've watched is totally fake which we can't trust the media anymore we can't trust what they are saying. and. is grateful that his editors do not dictate what he can and cannot write but he why he is that all journalists do not have that freedom. they don't even go to their duty of.
