this is the w.'s life from ballet and as china begins to mock the 70th anniversary of communist rule the government in beijing is going out of its way to make sure nobody runs on its parade also on the program. going on trial hundreds of thousands of german diesel drivers take the carmaker to court demanding compensation of the company's mission's ranking scandal. turkey accused of sending refugees back to syria against their will we meet a mother desperate to find her missing son. astrid to september the faster and

courts most likely to turn to power after his party's election win at the weekend but with the collapse of support for his former partners the far right freedom party it's unclear who will form a coalition with. i'm phil gal welcome to the program. celebrations are taking place in china at the 70th anniversary of communist party rule the main event will be a massive military parade in town and square on tuesday but beijing fears the celebrations could be overshadowed by pro-democracy protests and unrest in hong kong. on the eve of the anniversary a ceremony to honor the creation of the communist state and the heroes of the civil war chinese president xi jinping paid his respects to the fallen.

in the evening he attended a theatrical celebration that recalled china's rise from a nation in despair to the world's 2nd largest economy. october 1st 1949 mao's the dawn to clear the founding of the people's republic of china and transform the country. his great leap forward aim to industrialize the country but instead left it devastated the famine was widespread and tens of millions died mao's cultural revolution followed opponents were sent to camps or executed in his attempt to purge china of counter-revolutionaries. after decades of isolation beijing took steps to open the country and its market up to the world. today china is on the podium of world leading nations but the rapid growth has come at a cost. cities are choked by pollution and society is strictly

controlled. behind the spectacle authorities are hoping the pro-democracy movement in hong kong doesn't mar the landmark occasion for the world's longest surviving communist state. no in the run up to the big anniversary the chinese government has gone out of its way to make sure that no one runs on its parade in alec's of forest whites in terms of what about its so the leadership is leaving nothing to jones no that's right they've been banging various things for these events including kites buildings even pitch ins so nothing that in any way condemn from their praise you saying they're also putting more restrictions on the internet now we know that's restricted in china anyway but they've really been targeting social media platforms so for example the very popular chinese social media platform way bo has had to really rein back what it is allowing on its site and the owners of playing ball

they have started or launched a cleanup operation promising that it would delete any accounts or posts that distort the history of the party and the country insult our heroic martyrs or spread harmful political information about was launched on the 3rd of september in just a few days ago they have said that it's been successful so far 33500 posts on the platform have been deleted and almost 2000 accounts closed down in the company is promising to continue this crackdown ok so 30000 posts have been deleted so i'm guessing that the chinese people aren't completely on board with this well no but you know it's difficult to get people in china to actually criticize anything to do with the government publicly i mean it's happened a little bit but perhaps the most interesting criticism if you like has come from the editor in chief of the global times now that is the chinese newspaper very

beijing focused considered a bit of a mouthpiece for beijing and. jinnah said again away by national days coming and accessing outside networks have become extremely difficult affecting all were. here at the global times i personally feel this is a bit over the top and he went on to say that the country is not front joe so china should allow a narrow opening to access outside networks however almost as quickly as the posts are being put up it was then deleted say so clearly that the leadership in beijing is worried some might even say paranoid yeah and you can see why i mean they've got a lot of issues going on at the moment a trade war going on with the u.s. and also hong kong i mean these ongoing protests for months and many more expected on choose state even though they are officially banned in these pro-democracy protests as a calling it a day of grief so china very worried and very keen for people to show them loyalty

so recently recently they launched a propaganda app which was a way to train chinese in the teachings of president is using xi jinping and marxism and they go even step further with that so not only should journalists invest in or those teachings but they now have to pass an exam in order to keep their press accreditation so it just goes to show how seriously china are taking this and how worried they all are the next of course wising thank you and one of more china celebrations on the impact of the hong kong protests all of them indeed of the news asia in about 25 minutes. volkswagen is in court in germany today the multinational german comic who is facing a huge lawsuit over the diesel gate in recent scandal hundreds of thousands of diesel drivers have teamed up to bring the country's 1st ever class action

demanding compensation for the v.w. cars they've bought lawmakers pave the way for the class action proceedings after the diesel scandal broke in 2015. this could be a watershed moment for germany's legal system 4 years after the emissions scandal broke hundreds of rise of diesel drivers now have the chance to hold the carmaker to account. it's the 1st ever class action lawsuit to take place in the country similar actions in the united states have seen consumers come away with billions of dollars in compensation. really good of analysis for we're confident about winning the argument speak for themselves 1st the leaders knew about things from the star sides and on and you haven't put forward anything for that you can't contradict justice. correspondent lawyers maintain that the carmaker has removed the emissions cheesing devices and argue that diesel owners cannot claim for

compensation while continuing to drive the offending vehicles in the heart of the army to this day hundreds of thousands of vehicles are still in use by customers for us this means that there's no damage and therefore no reason for compensation these days hearing comes just a week after german prosecutors charge 3 v.w. executives including current boss happy with market manipulation accusing them of failing to inform shareholders about the financial impact of the emissions scandal a further indication that the costs of germany's biggest post-war industrial scandal are still being counted. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world 8 members of an alleged nazi terrorist cells have gone on trial in the eastern german city of dresden the men are accused of plotting attacks against immigrants political approach economic establishment in an attempt to overthrow the country's democratic

trial is due to last until april of next year. at least one person has been killed in a fire that's an overcrowded migrant camp on the great content of last boston the place residents who still sources have been too slow to respond reports of a 2nd fatality. well. leaders have joined the thousands of mourners to pay their respects to france's late former president jacques chirac as part of a national day of mourning french president emmanuel mccraw that the tributes in the military ceremony morning ahead of a memorial service at the san siro peace in paris a lot of new putin and bill clinton one of monks the attendees. saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin sound man has denied ordering the killing of journalist amount to show last year despite this the kingdom's de facto ruler says he takes responsibility for the murder according to a u.n.

sent back against his will. mohammed has been gone for almost 2 months. when offered a show thinks about what happened to her son she feels helpless lost. in early august mohammed was riding a friend's motorbike in istanbul the bike was unregistered mohammed was stopped by police and then sent to a detention center. a rotter i don't see as a normal about 12 days later i got a call from mohammed. he said they've taken me to syria to live that was his last phone call i haven't heard from him since i didn't read about him i'm not a. mom have right i'm heartbroken when me fled from syria he was still a small child. now they have sent him back to that place. and i don't know where he is.

istanbul's fattish district is an area where many syrians live many here heard that the turkish authorities have been deporting refugees in recent months and most of them are afraid that they could be next. when they started sending people back i was so scared i didn't leave my house. you know i am but they are live and there are more restrictions on us now people are being deported back to syria we can't escape turkey for europe anymore because it's too dangerous. we syrians used to feel welcome here in rio we learned it's changed a little bit and we're only now we feel like unwanted migrants again. turkey has taken in more refugees from syria than any other country more than

3600000 people in the space of a few years hundreds of thousands live here in istanbul they've set up stores of breast wrongs they've try to build a new life while turkish society initially responded with more marketable resilience hospitality is now rapidly wearing fit. took off his legs bother us if more of them come i don't want to live in this neighborhood and in this country anymore. it's maybe. friends if i get along very well with most of the syrians here there are some bad people but you get that everywhere you go and i guess we want them to leave as soon as possible we don't want them here any more because the childress in the turkish president or edge of tired out one has recognized this change in public sentiment in the past few weeks he has made repeated promises that millions of syrians will return home to a so-called safe zone that he wants to establish in the north east of syria. but

the government insists deportations are not taking place and that syrians who are returning are doing so voluntarily. the mare chattanooga's disagrees the lawyer is trying to help get off the racial son back from syria mohammed and his family have valid turkish documents and protection status checkers has filed an appeal with turkey's constitutional court. sending a person to a war zone is a serious human rights violation of the mohammed is not an isolated case with all this is happening to many syrians many have been deported in recent months. is a lawyer. he says that many deported syrians attempt to return to turkey making a 2nd escape from their war torn country illegally and often at a high cost paying

a lot of money to smugness and as dangerous as that might sound. mohammad's mother ofa is clinging to any hope that she might see her son again in safety. or. not before she joins us now from. what can you tell us about the scale of these deportations well refugees and n.g.o.s say that the scale all the recent crackdown on the syrians is unprecedented they say hundreds of syrians have been sent back to their war torn country against their will in recent months we can't independently verify these figures but i've been in contact with about a dozen syrian refugees who all told me that they had been deported to it which is

a war zone in syria's north and many also said they made it back to turkey crossing the border illegally and this is all happening this is the paradox here while the turkish government flatly rejects any claims that it has been deporting syrian refugees ankara says more than 300000 syrian refugees have returned voluntarily to syria to areas under the control of the turkish military since 2016 and what is behind the change in public sentiment towards the syrian refugee. well for many years prison the right to tie of add on has championed a so-called open door policy to what syrian refugees offer old turkey is now hosting the world's largest refugee population that's of course an incredible challenge but often 80 is the sentiment here has increasingly turned hostile

according to a recent poll about 70 percent of took say they are uncomfortable with the presence of syrian migrants here in the country they say they've taken their jobs or they have benefited too much from public services this all comes amid a painful economic downturn here in turkey so many turks have lost their jobs in the past 2 years now this is of course also and that's an interesting fact many say that this is the reason why present. the recent election here in istanbul to the opposition an opposition which has criticized him over and over again for mismanaging the syrian refugee crisis so a lot of domestic pressure here on him and i think this is one of the factors why he's pushing so hard for a safe zone in north and syria and says he could resettle up to 3000000 refugees over there. you're watching the news live from baghdad still to come 30 years ago

a dream came true for thousands of germans fleeing the communist east we look back at an event that changed the course of history. i will find out why the opening weekend of the world athletics championships in qatar got people on the call. conservative leader sebastian cortes is on the hunt for coalition partners a day after winning the country's not general election of course is people's party secure 37 percent of the vote he's not expected to seek another partnership the far right freedom party its supporters plummeted after the corruption scandal that led to the government's collapse last may instead many are speculating on a deal with the greens which made strong gains on sunday. after the post-election parties it's time for some tricky negotiations to begin sebastien kurtz is now you looking for coalition partners the greens may be a viable option for him there are we entering parliament after

a surge in support and can't change the face of australian politics but would they want to. of course we greens are ready to talk but we can only come to the negotiating table if there's a shift when it comes to our key areas we now have the responsibility to put austria at the forefront in climate protection and influential. if the greens joined a governing coalition it would be a 1st just a national level but with so many other parties also in the frame voters have mixed feelings about the overall results. honestly it's great exactly what i was hoping for and i'm not curious about coalitions and what the coalition talks will bring. we will see whether the greens really want to implement a green policy or whether they're just middling communists. i don't think so. tree house plants the environment is

a power is he and in my opinion and i'm not the only person to think that politics has nothing much to say nowadays only the economy matters. really sebastian kurtz wants to put the challenges facing the economy front and center in coalition talks the negotiations are expected to last several weeks if not months. 30 years ago thousands of east germans fleeing communism made their way to the czech of the vatican capital prague heading for a west german embassy the hope was to use the embassy as a staging point to get to freedom in west germany they gamble paid off and on the 30th of september 989 they packed on to trains heading west through east germany and in up in the western german town of hoff 30 years later some of them have been retracing their steps. a journey back in time. 30 years ago here much sunday i was traveling in

a train just like this one. it's like. it's like reliving it all over again. back then sunder was one of thousands of refugees fleeing east germany they traveled in special trains from prague to the west but to get there they had to pass through east german territory where they feared they'd be arrested. in order to keep memories of those journeys alive some of the people who made those trips then doing it again. they all left east germany that way. after several tense weeks in the west german embassy in

prague. in september 1989 east germans were poor and into the embassy. the building was quickly overwhelmed. many ended up camping out in the embassy grounds it was cold. sanders spent 3 weeks here with his wife and 2 children new rifles came in over the fence every time i. opened. it never stopped raining the cut down board so i didn't have to walk through the mud the people is that we should talk about tents wherever they could find a space where the match was the tents were all crowded up against one another. their strength gets it and save was then the fateful moment on the surface of

september west german foreign minister hands dietrich's kensho arrived speaking to the refugees from the balcony his announcement that they could leave was drowned out by cheers i. think i was what. was i can share promised that everyone in the embassy would be allowed to go to the west i sang i was there and heard him i was. standing right here. but. it's all coming about his little i that same night sandra and his family left the embassy and boarded the train to west germany. i thought the war story it was a very emotional journey of

a shifty very difficult ordeal. it would show for us it was a train to freedom. just a few weeks. only citizens of east germany gained their freedom on november 9th 1909. came down. in sport the world athletics championships in qatar has been dominated by empty seats in the stands and athletes complaining about the heat organizers say they have done all they can to mitigate the effects of high temperatures and to get more spectators. i. the women's 100 meters is always a crowd magnet you think the world at that extent in chips in doha would be no different to me because shelly and fraser price is the fastest woman on the planet that few fans came out to see her victory and. take

a look at the thousands of empty seats behind her put attendance is just one concern heat and high humidity are also big problems the women's marathon on saturday had to start at midnight to avoid daytime high temperatures of 38 degrees celsius still the heat on the streets of doha was unbearable 28 of the 68 runners failed to finish many to try it medical attention and. it was the slowest marathon winning time ever at the world championships. the men's 50 kilometer walk had similar issues with france as world record holder johan denise having to drop out. of troubles holding short of breath my legs a finish assumes that i feel my head starting to spin to what it is you don't know . so those competing inside the stadium things aren't as bad organizers are trying

to do everything to keep the athletes cool air conditioned stadiums are also planned for the 2022 football world cup despite objections from environmentalists. the commission works similar to your conditioning so you pull air from outside you pass through a cold media and then after that the air will lose its heat and then go directly to where people are. the only difference between this and a car that i would read it is a little bit bigger but at the same time we don't call the whole car this is a big stadium to be called. but even the promise of an air conditioned stadium has not attracted bigger crowds. if the doha 30 x. is a test of what's to come the next football world cup in qatar is likely to be equally controversial. you're watching d.w. coming up next a news little to celebrate hong kong protesters are feeling anything but patriotic

of the run up to china's 70th anniversary. but in beijing they're putting on the finishing touches ahead of one of the biggest celebrations the country will ever see. those stories and more with british bought a dream date are being used as asia in just a moment i'll be back at the top of the hour i'm good at. the foot.

and. i'm not thinking out of the gym well i guess sometimes i am but most of the things which are that the german thinks the printer german culture of looking at the stereotypes aquatics put in here think the future of the country guy. not. yet going to take the cake for this drama day out to eat it's cold out and
