it's. this is the wus live from ballet south african police stage a violent crackdown on refugees and asylum seekers 100 people are arrested in cape town as police move in or migrants demanding a recount ration after a series of xenophobia contacts the coming up. by winds and temperatures down the wildfires across california with hundreds of thousands of people fleeing the flames . to our. 6 dad their voice all

summer in the craigs it debates the speaker of the british parliament john bercow stepped down after 10 years in a chat. and to join us on a tour of jerusalem's new city on the dead 5 star accommodation for eternity. and had a home free glad you could join me in south africa and police have forcibly evicted schools of protesters who had been camping out for weeks in cape town around 100 people were arrested off the violent clashes in front of the united nations building the migrants are not demanding to stay in fact they want to leave they say that a recent wave of xenophobia volatiles directed at african migrants shows south africa is no longer safe. they came to south africa to seek

refuge now all they want is to get out hundreds of refugees camped outside the un's refugee agency in cape town for weeks demanding to be relocated. but after an eviction order the police moved in and violent scenes fall out. of the police using water cannons was a hand firing stun grenades to disperse the crowds. for the protesters the use of force by the police is fueling anger over what they say this is an offending atmosphere and the country was yes i can you know i'm just i'm young and it was easier for you in the military to master them at the time that the money that will be affording it if it was good fun it was

good for the liver can you but you know even given that it was going to ask you can we afford it any major financial difficulty film or digital. south africa has a highly developed economy and is a popular destination for refugees and migrants from other african countries. but after a spate of deadly riots and attacks in september which killed at least 12 people many refugees no longer feel safe here. that that's why these protesters in cape town have been calling on the un to move them into another country. is that last week the un refugee agency issued a statement saying falls messages were being circulated about resettlement and that their lives very small number of refugees met the criteria. but that didn't stop protesters here. after police broke up the crowds and arrested $100.00

demonstrators those that remained had it on. for now the new hires in the local church where they have been given temporary shelter. well for more on this now i'm joined by correspondent and cape town again good to see what is going to happen to these people now. well $100.00 of them were actually temporarily arrested yesterday they're released in the meantime and it is likely that they will keep on protesting but it is very unlikely that their demands will be met to be fair that they do not want to stay year because they don't feel safe here they don't want to go back to their countries of origin they want to go to a country some protesters yesterday said just to do by europe the usa canada and this is just simply not going to happen south africa has about 270000 refugees and asylum seekers imagine what kind of message that would send if some of them now are

allowed to go and remember also that not all of them are really refugees are running away from violence in their countries we've seen protesters from kenya for example they are running away because of economic situations and at the moment the economic situation in south africa is not much better than in their countries of origin this is why many of them are frustrated and this is where they want to go there has been in that report a tough response from police why did the cape town police crack down so hard on this protest. so the protesters have been gathering in front of the units the our office for weeks and it is in a building where there is also other offices so some people took them to court asked the police to remove them and this is what happened yesterday it is of course very questionable the force that was used to disperse the crowds yesterday you've seen the water cannons tear gas there were women injured children had to see how their own parents got beaten up so this is very questionable and this should be investigated and i suppose the broader question of course why hasn't

a phobia become such a big problem in south africa. the sea ever since the end of apartheid 25 years ago the hopes of the people where really well destroyed i have to say because there were so many hope see that the country would improve for the poor majority of the country and nothing much really happened and this is where a lot of frustration came up if you look at the current situation here about 6. the percent of the youth is unemployed this year alone another half a 1000000 people out of work this is a massive problem and this is what of course also course this text that we have seen in september of people fighting for the little that is available i don't want to justify that of course it's terrible what we have seen here but what we also have to say to clarify this this is in a form of text that happened in september did not happen in cape town they have it and other cities like in johannesburg. in cape town putting it into perspective for us thank you very much. let's take

well today has cooled off 2 major international summits it's a new setback for embattled president sebastian pinera he says he needs to focus on restoring calm amid mass protests at least 18 people have died in the on rest now new venues will need to be found for the $25.00 climate summit on the asia pacific trade meeting which was scheduled to bring together while he does including u.s. president donald trump and china's xi jinping. days chile's capital santiago has resembled a war zone. protest is throwing rocks and stones at police. they responding in kind with water cannon. tear gas and. it's against this backdrop that chile's embattled president has taken a decision he must regret. to cancel hosting not one but 2

upcoming international summits that sent the most 11 that will profile deeply lament the problems and the inconvenience that this decision will have on a per classroom as well as for the cup 25 summit. but all of us the. president of all chileans have to always put the problems and interests of the chileans their necessity and spend their hopes 1st. middles elected. president pinera has already replaced a 3rd of his cabinet in his latest attempt to quell the on the rest. but should in this continue to take to the streets. up to a 1000000 marching against inequality poor public services and a struggling economy. few are bothered by the decision not to host either

the apec summit in november or the un climate meeting a month later. reverend wright yes it's true these kinds of summits bring some benefits but as long as there are no laws or a new constitution to distribute those benefits it's fine to counsel them you know buy from i guess if you bend and so the mass protests go on as chileans demand what they see as a brighter and fairer a future. in britain of these snap election campaign has begun with prime minister boris johnson clashing with his main challenger leader of the opposition jeremy corbin in the last parliamentary battle before the ballots there are 6 weeks of campaigning before u.k. citizens make that choice in a vote that could decide the fate of breaks it. in just 6 weeks' time it might not be boris johnson walking through this door jam full program to stop the prophet you

can't wait no answer but johnson does appear confident of victory at his 4th attempt he finally got the election he craved next week the parliament that has been a continual thorn in his side will be no more. it's the end to the rope 2 for its speaker john bercow stepping down after 10 years in the job. thank you mr speaker i have never known this place without you and i think it will vary it was it's going to be different from 5 floors from both sides but then back to business and a taste of the election campaign ahead of the 2 biggest parties setting out that competing vision was for standing up for our economy and for all wealth creators and above all it means getting pretty done and being the did and the delay this is peak you're not for the 1st time the prime minister is talking nonsense of the

prime minister's plan sell out deal with donald trump the fight for votes has already begun. and as we heard in that report the speaker of the house of commons john bercow is about to leave his post he's risen to international prominence for his role during the briggs it debates so much so that one word in particular is almost synonymous with his name. was. 6 love him all those him john bercow has become a british household name. very interesting you very very very rare and spare a student yet trix grade yourself of the group was far far. back i was 1st elect. did to the role of speaker of the house of commons 10 years ago it's been his job to chant abates and to keep order to order although

a politician himself the speaker must also remain impartial at all times but bacco has been accused by some of showing political bias particularly when it comes to bricks it my ruling is their fault the motion will not be debated to day as it would be repetitive and disorderly to do certain i know that the dynamics you face mean that on occasion you will sometimes have to please some and not others but it is becoming remarkable how often you please one lot and not the other. when he was getting the decisions in his favor he wasn't grumbling he's grumbling now because he doesn't like the judgment but his rulings have also divided the public is clearly on the remains side and he's sort of amendments through so in this very

obviously extol procedure. well i think he's actually standing up for democracy and for parliament. on the very day breck's it was supposed to happen but didn't a colorful politician is that going out of british politics while some may applaud his departure others will miss the man who try to put this house in. the german government has drawn up new proposals to get tougher on online hate speech it follows a rise in far right attacks including the murder of a politician and the attempt by a heavily armed man to storm a synagogue earlier this month the government says that there is a link between violent ideas spread on the internet and valid acts carried out in real life. hate speech at challenge around the world across the web and one germany is taking seriously the country has reason to with officials pointing to one case

out of many the murder of volatile luka a local politician shot dead earlier this year allegedly for his pro immigrant stance by a suspect found to have far right links he's believed to have carried out the crime alone but officials blame the hate filled web platforms he was part of for giving him the push to do so that they say makes online speech more dangerous than equivalent statements made in real life and other clearly it carries a different weight depending on whether you are insulted at a bar well only you and maybe a few other people hate it or if it's online where everyone in the well attends it my bed disappear. and the proposals agreed to by cabinet include giving authorities more power to control investigate and prosecute extremists online that would go beyond legislation passed in 2017 which compels internet companies to delete or block certain kinds of offensive content now they'd

have to report it to german law enforcement politicians have been at odds for more than a year over how to tighten regulations the government has also been frequently criticized for downplaying the far right threat but they say far right violence like the new gun murder have given them a newfound awareness. i can't say it enough our eyes are fully open. it's imperative we step up our efforts to confront the far right terrorism and extremism and anti-semitism because we haven't viewed this in the same way as islamist terror and other things. now it's up to the bone to turn that proposal into law they'll have to figure out how to enforce new rules against multinational companies and finance expanded law enforcement oversight of online haiti. speech. through this now i'm joined by political correspondent hans but and welcome hans how can this new initiative from the german government help

tackle the very tricky issue of online hate speech is indeed that there has to be some skepticism i think one has to say of course what's happened now is that the intensity of trying to prosecute such hate speech is going to be increased and that is a good thing but the question of how it's actually going to be implemented how effective it's going to be is still very much open so i think you can say it's a form of response to these various incidents that have happened in recent times rightwing terror an attack on a synagogue this murder that we've just heard about about at the same time has to be some skepticism about politics of it's actually going to be and what about those people who have been the victims or at least targeted by online hate speech are they convinced by the measures has there been any response from them while jewish organizations for instance have welcomed these measures they've called for such measures for quite a while most recently when the chip leader of the wood well jewish congress was

here and in germany he also called for increased measures against such hate speech on the other hand there have been organizations especially on the left of the political spectrum who are also targets of these kinds of attacks who have said that is much too little that they don't see that it's going to be very effective in the end one has to say it's an attempt to address an issue that really is very learnt in germany at the moment and attempt and yet it's never going to succeed unless you get that buy in from social media platforms i'm wondering how will forward he's ensure that they do cooperate in this but i think that's one aspect where this is likely to be most effective because the social media organizations are organizations that you can kind of pin down that there are obliged to accede to to comply with german law and there is going to be a new all new law that's going to force them actually to reports. hate speech online to report death rates for instance which has not been the case so far so they're likely to do that these reports are going to be legion they're going to be

thousands and probably possibly tens of thousands even hundreds of thousands of them and the question is going to be how does the german government how do the police or thorough to actually do with those kinds of numbers right there is a very good question i mean all the police all courts for example prepared to deal with this large volume i mean i think there in that for example at the moment i think you have to say they are not they are not prepared in fact courts already under pressure in fact in some sense not able to cope with the amount of. cases that are being brought in this connection the government is promising to increase stuff in both in the courts and in the police but we're going to have to wait and see how effective that in ends up being right he doesn't even as a correspondent hans present thank you for what it's to jerusalem now where x. the data is all building and on the ground symmetry inside 8 mountain the dot the idea is to eventually create a city of the dead

a final resting place for tens of thousands of people space is a premium in jerusalem with existing cemeteries filling up fast in west jerusalem lies how many hot with 170000 graves the hilltop cemetery is the city's largest it's long been considered too small to hold those to be buried in the coming decades. israel is a small country with a fast growing population with cremation traditionally prohibited by judaism the answer could look like this a gigantic underground necropolis costing at least 45000000 euros and housing 23000 graves as well as several mean and connecting streets relatives can find their loved ones grieve. we could make a burial ceremonies here in. pure sun you know all the sun in israel is not that mars and same goes for burial in heavy rain glowing glass orbs helped create

a special atmosphere they are the brainchild of a german artist who wants to bring light into the darkness. floats upwards it's very atmospheric very gentle. it doesn't scream it doesn't say here i am as art rather it fills these catacombs with a certain mood to cover. up with fear oh it will be 4 more years before the subterranean city of the dead is complete. now festive lights are a feature of many cities around the world in the run up to christmas but the italian city of turin tries to up the ante in the festive season turning itself into what it described as a luminous open. gallery now for the past 20 years turin has hired artists to design mesmerizing and even nations the lights will be switched on off the dock every day until the 12th of january. this is news these are all top
