oh. this is d.w. news live from banning dozens dying in a train in fun oh in pakistan passengers are said to have been preparing breakfast when their gas canisters and their stoves blew up we'll go live to islamabad for the latest also a comment on south african police state avon and crackdown on migrants in cape town migrants have been demanding to be moved to other countries after

a series of xenophobia attacks and. the voice of authority in the braggs it degrades the speaker of the british parliament jonah perko stepped down after 10 years in the chair. plus joining us on a tour of jerusalem's new city all of the debt 5 star accommodation for eternity. by man and a humphrey glad you could join me police in pakistan say at least 65 people have died after a train in the south east of the country caught fire the blaze reportedly broke out when a cooking stove exploded while passengers were preparing breakfast local officials said most of the victims died after jumping off the fast moving train it was

travelling through punjab province on route from the southern city of karachi to rohan pindi. well for more on this now let's bring in a shame he's a journalist based in islamabad said welcome to the program what is the latest from the scene of the accident. yes well from what we can tell on the ground now rescue work has concluded at the site of the accident and according to the authorities a real traffic on those real lines has now resumed as well but what we do know is that this accident took place about 150 calm purcell to the city of melbourne now that is the nearest urban center that has sort of developed a hospital facilities now since most of the victims have been suffering from burns and there is not an adequate burns unit at the hospital where the accident took place they are now being very. as we speak the army has been called in to help for this and some military helicopters are being used to ferry those wounded in those a more serious condition to move down at the moment hospital officials are warning

however that the toll could continue to rise some of those who were injured were in quite serious condition devastating pictures which we're currently looking at now the explosion on a cooking stove appears to have caused the fire which authorities say is a common problem is that the case. this is indeed a problem i mean we have not had an accident like this was sufficiently caused by a cooking stove or a gas stove on our parts of ukraine in years but what i can verify is that while stores are on the list of prohibited items that you are not allowed to take on board with you this is seldom enforced and baggage checks on trains in pakistan are perhaps the most lax of all of the interest if you transport options including buses for example and so usually what will tend to happen given the long train transit times is that people were going to their own food on these trains and that's exactly what happened this train was running the length of the country

century from the southern city of karachi to n.d. and as of about 630 this morning as people were preparing their breakfast on their own it seems like one of them exploded which then caused another nearby store to explode and that then caused the conflagration now sat in train accidents are common in pakistan why. yes. well pakistanis are really for structures quite aged at this point and a lot of it is in fact just relying on colonial that arrow infrastructure in some places now also what you'll see we've had at least 7 major accidents in the last year or so this is been sometimes with head on collisions other times with the real minutes often the derailment are due to trains having too much speed on a curve or because of a real defect whereas with the head on collisions which we've had at least 2 or 3 of in the last year alone those have been with signalling failures and that's often again due to infrastructure that is essentially not working properly the really it's all run by the government and so it is ultimately the goal that's

responsibility their government owned and operated they say that they're doing all they can to upgrade it but it's a massive gargantuan affair and focus on obviously is not really the best economic straits right now to be able to address those issues right asset hashi bring us up to date from islamabad thank you. for all thanks fred. 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 united nations building now the migrants are not demanding to state a fact they want to leave they say a recent wave of xenophobic violence directed at african migrants shows south africa is no longer safe. they came to south africa to seek refuge or simply a better future now all they want is to get out for weeks hundreds of migrants have been camping here outside the un's refugee agency in capetown demanding to be

rededicated to other countries but on wednesday after an eviction order the police moved in. they fired water cannons and stun grenades. police say they arrested some 100 foreign nationals who refused to disperse for the protesters the use of force by the police is fueling anger over what they call as xenophobia atmosphere in south africa yes i think the fact that you know i just i mean i'm even easier for the next military that must take them at the time and have the right that it will go for a circular definition of a little over 10 years but you know even if you but i was going to talk i didn't know any magic any way you could just look at the middle of. the many

migrants from other african countries go to south africa seeking better job prospects. but after a spate of deadly riots in attacks in september many say they no longer feel safe here. that's why these. testers in cape town have been calling on the u.n. to move them to another country. last week the un refugee agency issued a statement saying false messages were being circulated about resettlement and that only a very small number of refugees and asylum seekers met the criteria but that didn't stop the protests here. after wednesday's police operation remaining demonstrators headed on. so now their new home is a local church where they've been given temporary shelter. of more on this now i'm

joined by our correspondent in cape town again good to see you as again what is going to happen to these people now. well $100.00 of them were actually temporarily arrested yesterday they are 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 a 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 why they want to go there 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'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 the con such a big problem in south africa. to see 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 why a lot of frustration came up if you look at the current situation here about 6. 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. 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've seen here but what we also have to say to clarify this this is a form of attacks that happened in september did not happen in capetown they happened in other cities like in johannesburg and i think in cape town putting it into perspective for us thank you very much. and now to some of the other stories making news around the walls the u.s. department of defense has released the 1st video of the operation that killed chief baghdadi it shows u.s. special forces storming into his compound in northern syria and its subsequent

people have died in the on rest now new venues will need to be found for the cost $25.00 climate summit and the asia pacific trade meeting which was scheduled to bring together wild leaders including u.s. president donald trump and china's she's in pain. for days chile's capital santiago has resembled a war zone. protesters throwing rocks and stones at police. they responding in kind with water cannon. tear gas and mole. 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 sent the most 11 that will throw florrie deeply

lament the problems and the inconvenience that this decision will have on apec as well as for the cup 25 summit. but all of this the end as president of all chileans have to always put the problems and interests of the chileans there necessities and their hopes 1st. the middles beloved. president pinera has already replaced a 3rd of his cabinet in his latest attempt to quell the on the rest. but should be in this continue to take to the streets. up to a 1000000 marching against inequality poor public services and just struggling economy. fewer 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 by from i guess it has been done and so the mass protests go on as chileans demand what they see as a bright and fair a future. you're watching the news coming up join us on a tour of jerusalem's new city of the dead thousands of new tombs will help relieve the pressure on this he's already overcrowded it's of the trees. 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 until next wednesday some lawmakers won't be contesting their seats there including the speaker of the house of commons john bercow he's risen to international prominence for his role during the breaks

it debates so much so that one word in particular is almost synonymous now with his name. 6 love him all loathe him john bercow has become a british household name. very interesting you. rent spare a studio tricks yourself. bercow was 1st elected to the role of speaker of the house of commons 10 years ago it's been his job to change debate and to king or to alter although a politician himself the speaker must also remain impartial at all times that 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 certainly 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 is grumbling now because he doesn't like the judgement but his rulings have also divine did the public is clearly on the remains side and his alone will sort of ministry whose sole aim is very obviously to stop receiving. well i think he's actually standing up for democracy and for parliament. on the very day bracks 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 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 this month the government says there is a link between violent entire ideas spread on the internet and violent acts carried out in real life. hate speech a 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 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 hate it or if it's online where everyone in the well attends it like that. 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 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 buddhists 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 hate speach. through this now i'm joined by political correspondent hans but aren't 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 khalid sect

of 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 right wing terror an attack on a synagogue this murder that we just heard about about at the same time has to be some skepticism about how the fact 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. leader of the church would world jewish congress was here and in germany he also called for increased measures against such a 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 will 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 limited in germany at the moment and attempt and yet it's never going to succeed unless you get that buy in from social media platform so i'm wondering how will thora 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 report hate speech online . to report their threats for instance which has not been the case so far so they're largely 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 officer of his actually do with those kinds of numbers right that is a very good question i mean all the police are cool for example prepared to deal with this large volume i mean i think you called it there in that for example at

the moment i think you have to say they are not they are not prepared to in fact colt's 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 starting 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 and a brief look now at some of the stories twitter has announced a ban on all political advertising beginning november 22nd the company said that targeted advertising brought quite significant risks to politics the decision puts pressure on other social media platforms to follow suit amid increasing concern that they're being used to present misleading information to motives. while heritage site in japan has been ravaged by foreign wars completely destroyed surely caso on the island of okinawa went up in flames on thursday the wooden complex is

a major tourist attraction the actual buildings are replicas of the originals destroyed in the 2nd world war when it is to jerusalem now where excavate is all building an underground cemetery inside a mountain the idea is to eventually create a city all of the dead a final resting place for tens of thousands of people now space is at a premium in jerusalem with existing cemeteries filling up fast. in west jerusalem lies in heart with 170000 graves the hilltop cemetery is the city's largest if 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 commission traditionally prohibited by judaism the answer could look like this a gigantic underground necropolis costing at least 45000000 euros and hosing 23000
