8:04 am
not gone particularly restrained it's fun of you know the follow up fostering and. and you know being creative is supposed to be the best even of the best brain lighting and if. the problem is that depth death at the bottom huge group of us are to get a disparate group bunda by 2 down who wouldn't want to preach evil by some organization and at least that far even don't know what that means on the press we do we're practicing the line between the release of it was kind of the nucleus. and service of the experience particular not the most certainly not a lot of evil psych yes and in that nothing it could even remember is a lark to the person that sylar predicts but down and i think probably this kind of private investigation that he true say tracking the story for us in islamabad thank you. south african police have forcibly

evicted schools of migrants who had been camping out for weeks in cape town around 100 people were arrested after violent clashes in front of a un building now the migrants are not demanding to state a fact they want to leave they say that a recent wave of xenophobic violence directed at african migrants show 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 is refugee agency in cape town for weeks demanding to be relocated. but after an eviction order the police moved in and violent scenes fallouts. police using water cannons.
8:06 am
live and firing stun grenades to disperse the crowds i saw the protesters the use of force by the police is fueling anger over what they say this is xenophobic atmosphere and the country was that yes in fact you know i'm just i'm not and i think it was easier for the next military to master them at the time that the monday night that we're putting it if it was good fun it was good for the most of us don't you but you know even given i was going to ask you what we're fighting i can't imagine the feeling that you can just look at somebody to. south africa as a highly developed economy and is a popular destination for refugees and migrants from other african countries. but after a spate of deadly riots in attacks in september which killed at least 12 people many refugees no longer feel safe here. that's why these protesters in cape
8:07 am
town have been calling on the un to move them to another country. last week the un refugee agency issued a statement saying fools messages with being circulated about resettlement and that their live 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 their new home is in the notebook challenge where they have been given temporary shelter. for more on this now i'm joined by our correspondent in cape town at the clinic good to see what is going to happen to these people now well 100 of them were actually temporarily arrested yesterday their release in the meantime and it is likely that they will
8:08 am
keep on protesting but it is very unlikely that their demands will be met with 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 countries some protesters yesterday suggested dubai 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 why they want to go there has been in that report we saw 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
8:09 am
office for weeks and it is in the building where there's 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 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 of the khan 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 hopes of the country would improve for the poor majority of the country and nothing much really happened and this is why a lot of frustration came up if you look at the current situation here about 60 percent of the youth is unemployed this year alone another half a 1000000 people out of work this is
8:10 am
a massive problem and this is what of course also course this attacks 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 the attacks that happened in september did not happen in capetown they happened in other cities like in johannesburg. in cape town putting it into perspective for us thank you very much. are in the 2nd it now some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s. department of defense has released the 1st video of the operation that killed i is chief. issues u.s. special forces storming into his compound in northern syria and its subsequent destruction daddy family members and loyalists were killed in the special forces raid. police in indian administered kashmir say at least 5 people have been shot dead by step. medicines they tackled workers from eastern india came as

8:15 am
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 under the cloud it carries a different weight depending on whether you are insulted at a bar well only you and maybe a few other people have it or if it's online where everyone in the well attends it might get. to supply a comment 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
8:16 am
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 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 bonus to determine the 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 hate. speech. through this now i'm joined by political correspondent hans but on welcome hans how can this new initiative from the german government help
8:17 am
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 there has to be some skepticism about how the sect 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 well 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
8:18 am
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 as much to do it all 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 real and in germany at the moment an 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 the 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
8:19 am
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 te's actually do with those kinds of numbers right there is a very good question i mean german police 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're not prepared to in fact coats 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 the staffing 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 every political correspondent ham's plant thank you. in the u.k. campaigning has already begun ahead of the snap general election on the 12th of december even though parliament will not close in till next wednesday now some
