cut. the be cut above. this is d w news live from by larry hong kong protested dies of his injuries are safe or later from a building means he 1st student deaths since the start of the antigovernment town a pro-democracy activists vowed to escalate their protests also coming up u.s. secretary of state's mike compared goes on democracies to work together visiting but end on the illegal be 30th anniversary of the fall of the wall he talks of the need to say all one freedoms. and as part of our coverage will be for the berlin

wall we look at one of the darkest chapters in east german history children forcibly removed from parents considered disloyal to the regime we have long families storing all reunification. i have in the home free thanks for joining me police in hong kong say that they will fully investigate the death of a university student who reportedly fell from a building during clashes between police and protesters now demonstrators have made a memorial and have been holding a vigil near the site where the student was found the events leading up to the incident on clear but it's believed that the student fell from a multistory car park off to police fired tear gas during a protest last weekend the student was taken to hospital but later died. now persia's leader joshua warm has responded to the death of the student here's what

he had to say. we mourn together and we urge hall of people wear black issue to get our today and tomorrow to show our side darkie and unity and now is that high for the government to stand up in the band as investigation on the clash we didn't know and see for truth and justice and which is really in saying and on reasonable for how the government allowed the polish attempted murder hong kong people. well from all we can bring in our correspondent that is putting a who is in hong kong mathias what else is known about the circumstances around the students to us. this is pretty much what we know he fell from this parking garage where i am now behind me people are laying down flowers at this point where he fell. we cannot see them because they are blocked by the other journalists now people are leaving messages here. he fell from there and

outside of this building there were clashes between the police and protesters teargas was fired this night there were rumors that he was fleeing from the tear gas there were also rumors that police was inside this garage chasing him inside and the subsequent he succeeded you fell but we have seen no evidence for what really happened how he fell what happened in the last last seconds before he fell down the security cameras have not caught that moment so we are still really. waiting for more hope hoping that we will get a response one day for now it remains very unclear how he felt and amongst all of that lack of clarity the protests is all blame the police for the death of the student the police say that they will fully investigate the death but will that be enough to soothe the anger of the protesters do you think. well we.

just to hear her joshua long saying that an independent investigation need is needed now this is one of the demands of the protesters the police have already adjusted their version of what happened that night of when the police was inside and when it was outside of. this parking garage after being confronted with footage that proved over the live version wrong this is of course not contributing to confidence in the police's investigation and this is at the at the heart of the problem i don't think whatever the police finds out will appease the protests here so on the other side and i suppose the question is whether the death of this student protester will actually did have fresh impetus then to the protesters. well at least it has fueled emotions again and we will see what is going to happen this week and further comment more asian and protest events have been announced

this is of course a very emotional moment to have been rumors about death before they have been suicides before but this is the 1st time some big debate he died actually on the site of an actual confrontation between protesters and the police so this is felt as the 1st confirmed marcher of these protests movement and this of course will fuel people signed off for the how this will play out in the end what the protesters are going to do is maybe not clear yet now that it is definitely not something that will bring an end to the protests more and reporting on it all for us is mathias putting us in hong kong thank you. will find fighters in germany have rescued around $35.00 people after an explosion at a party mine that's according to local officials now the incident happened in the town

of titan todd in the east of the country near the city of hala the miners were trapped some 700 meters on the ground that were able to find shelter in a safety area where reports said that one person had been injured in the blast. so let's take a look at now at some of the other stories making news around the world an earth earthquake in northwest iran has killed at least 6 people and injured more than 300 others a magnitude 5.9 quake struck on friday in iran's eastern azerbaijan province almost 60 off the show rattles the mountainous region. in iran 10 anti-government protesters have been killed in baghdad and the port city of faster security forces used live rounds and tear gas in the latest disturbances they began in october of a government corruption and a lack of jobs. but you know michael bloomberg is considering entering the 2020 u.s. presidential race warning that the current field of candidates is ill equipped to

defeat donald trump the former new york mayor has not formally announced his bait but he's expected to run in the democratic primary in the state of alabama. well france's president money well michael has taken other european leaders by surprise by criticizing nato now in an interview with the economist magazine michael said that the alliance was experiencing what he called brain death now he said it was being undermined by a lack of coordination and by the unpredictability of u.s. president donald trump chancellor angela merkel and the head of nato yen stoltenberg have rejected my calls remarks. part of the berlin wall is displayed outside nato headquarters in brussels 30 years after it fell yemen stoltenberg is meant to be celebrating the anniversary of the victory over communism but instead he's declaring his alliance isn't dead. nato a strong me. united states north america and europe we do more together than the

done for decades. one of nato's most important members has spoiled the party in a historic week for the alliance emmanuel mccall is calling into question some of nato's founding principles. in a magazine interview the french president said the mutual defense pact was in danger of breaking down. he said what we are currently experiencing is the brain death of nato and you have no coordination whatsoever of strategic decision making between the united states and its nato allies its last month's events in syria that have worried 1st the alliances largest member the united states announced a troop pullout without consulting its allies in another alliance member turkey marched into northern syria despite the fact he meant objections of berlin and paris they're worried it threatens european security. but does this all out up to

a threat or just a blip in nato history nato and germany insisted in berlin that the alliance is still alive and well. even if we do have problems and even if we do disagree on the german perspective nato is very much in our interest it's our security alliance. for its part carlin has been signaling an increased commitment to the alliance visiting trainees soldiers defense minister and it played camp said she's in favor of making nato has 2 percent spending mandatory she at least is optimistic about the western alliance even as other members question its future. let's bring in our political correspondent thomas. thomas some stinging remarks from mccall is germany in any position to help put the alliance back on track. on its own probably not but germany does have political clout and it knows that and a such germany has defended nato on

a range of occasions and he has also done that now as you just saw from herself stressing how important the alliance is for germany how indispensable the alliance is in fact and that is something that germany has repeated and will probably repeat as well when criticism comes towards the nato another question altogether helena is whether germany has the military clout to have any influence and that is a big question here in germany not the least because the german military is facing very serious structural problems certainly thomason all not points the german defense minister is talking about germany shouldering more global responsibility when it comes to security but we are not hearing much from chancellor merkel how much support is there in germany for strengthening the military. this is a divisive issue in germany has been a divisive issue for a long time and in fact there are members in the german government coalition who are very wary of those remarks by the german defense minister who stressed that germany's role internationally should for example be

a spot of the united nations or us part of nato as we've been discussing and above all germany should at least discuss its priorities with other countries as well there are also other politicians who have stressed that germany's military role should not be increased at jenny's role internationally should be increased in other areas for example development or conflict prevention those are areas where somebody would prefer germany's role to increase instead of increasing its military defense capabilities and now so has the u.s. secretary of state might is in germany he's taking part in events this week make marking the 30th anniversary of the soul of the will now he delivered a speech in berlin today let's have a listen to what he said then i want to come back to. our 2 democracies the united states and germany possessed the abundant political and economic output and the power that can only be garnered by free societies we have a duty each of us to use all we have to defend what was so hard won. in

776 in 1945 and in 1990. we have to do it together we are together because it's not easy and doing it alone is impossible . the thomas clearly considered he would step it can this symbolic visit by the u.s. secretary of state do anything to patch up what is currently a very strange relationship. speech by mr pompeo on the question and answer session the followed revealed exactly the goal behind his visit on the one hand to stress the call on values that share the united states and germany that they have shared over for a very long time as we just saw in his remarks there but at the same time some of the key differences now were made evidence for example in the issue of trade that was absolutely evident that the united states and germany do not see eye to eye is there so on the one hand you can clearly say that mr compelled had the intention to show those historic ties between the united states and germany but at the same time

you can't hide the fact that the united states and germany are facing difficulties and that there are many issues where they do not see eye to eye you know it's quite a long list indeed and we know that later today pompei will meet german chancellor angela merkel and defense minister catherine bow in berlin how do you expect that to play out they will probably have time to discuss old hose issues that we've just been mentioning in fact you know the issue of defense will probably be an important topic to be discussed between the different leaders and in particular the idea of an acre to come to increase germany's military role internationally those are all issues that will most likely come up in those meetings again i do expect that there will be some time as well for stressing how important the relationship is between both countries and how both countries share values even though in this particular time they also have the difficulties we'd already mentioned all political correspondent tom aspire thank you. as you just heard that chance of an american u.s.

secretary of state might pompei all due to meet here in berlin we'll be covering that news conference live here on in a couple of hours time well spain is to hold another general election on sunday the 4th in 4 years and the last round of voting in april the socialist party of prime minister paper sanchez won the largest share of the vote but fell short of a majority in parliament will sanchez fail to form a government so in this weekend's election he's hoping to increase his share of the vote but it's far from certain that his strategy will pay off. me game. is fighting to defend his future he's campaigning for the socialist party the p.s.l.e. it's leading the polls but likely to fall short of an outright majority. either stands for the aspirations of us young people who want a world with more social justice. with fighting for better working conditions

against climate change and we support feminism. the 30 year old has been an activist for 8 years he feels that these elections could be more crucial than previous polls that show men. just center right p.p. overtake us and come 1st the likely team up with the far right vox which is predicted to come in the 3rd. and that's really scary as they would put in place inhumane policies against women p.t. people and migrants. we need to convince as many people as possible to vote for us. but that won't be easy especially since the supreme court verdict on cattle and separatist leaders lead to violent backlash by independents supporters it looks like voters are set to punish the socialists

conciliatory approach and to reward the tough stance of the far right vox party that's especially peeling to many young people. i don't know if there are more 40 years ago we handed over to the enemies of the nation who are now controlling its education system police and media. we need to send in all our available police to suffocate this revolt take back control and suspend cut alone as autonomy status. things. vox is just what spain needs not only in catalonia. we finally have a party that speaks its mind without fear and ignores the rules of political correctness. we young people can finally say out loud again that we love our country. doesn't bow to this false feminism which is so one sided that we are the real feminists even though we're right wing we are pro-life and defend family

values. the 24 year old is still hoping right wing parties will get the upper hand in these elections but it's likely that neither the big center left nor the big center right party will be able to shift their votes enough in the last 2 days of campaigning to win an outright majority and that means they would again have to join forces with other parties however if there's one thing that spanish politicians just don't seem very good at it's forming a coalition meanwhile miguel is optimistic that the socialists can still boost their share of the vait he's banking on the roughly one 3rd of voters who haven't yet made up their mind and if that isn't enough a different approach might be needed. politicians will need to take their share of responsibility if we aren't able to form a coalition the other party should give their tactical support to the front runner so that the party can work as a minority government. that might indeed been acceptable compromise for many

spaniards because the one thing that voters seem to agree on is that the political deadlock in spain finally needs to end. well for he's in australia say an unprecedented number of out of control bushfires are threatening vast areas of the state of new south wales and queensland where the 90 blazes are raging many of them in areas hit by drought firefighters say the bushfires of being whipped up by way of. surreal scenes on the eastern coast of australia as bushfires turned a sky an apocalyptic shade of orange for residents and wildlife is an early warning of approaching danger. many communities in the path of the fires have been ordered to evacuate in other areas people are taking no chances. here in 10 minutes. fire crews are battling dozens of

smouldering trees here they are being nursed back to health. they have a silent victims of experts believe the blazes in australia may have killed millions of animals. still to come a new production all they are is being staged in rome it's a show with a difference. and now for more of our special coverage of the 30th anniversary of the fall of the war it is one of the darkest chapters of the history of former east germany parents forced to give up their youngsters for adoption because the regime said that they were disloyal hundreds of such cases have been documented the reporter on your cock met a woman who spent decades. 'd when evers i mean it's subfields despair she takes a walk in the forest during the past 35 years she's felt this way off.

all those years i always had it in the back of my mind i have 2 children and how are they and whenever i saw people taking a walk with older children or a mother with her pram or playing with her child all these things would trigger that feeling by me who. gave birth to 2 daughters in the former east germany in the 1980 s. but her joy was short lived a few years earlier she had tried to flee east germany but was caught and convicted reason enough for the youth welfare office to come to her house and take the children away. and in the 1st moment i stood there paralyzed then i ran out the door after them and yelled where are you taking my daughter give me back my child the officer turned around

pointed a finger at me and said if you don't quite down now i will call the police and you will have to go to jail. they have given me 3 years' probation so if i did anything i would go to prison i just stood there and asked myself whether i should protest or stay silent. and happy. so. it's half initially gave up but after the berlin wall came down she started gathering evidence in the 1990 s. she managed to connect with her older daughter but the years apart had created an estrangement too big to bridge and they broke off contact just one year ago her younger daughter a suddenly make contact so we don't stop was unable to cope. it's as if it were not this forget the 1st phone call i will never forget that i think of the

neighbors heard everything but i didn't care. then on we talked on the phone every day and it kept growing from there then after more than 30 years of separation mother and daughter finally met. i. have yet to have you thought my heart would burst. before i couldn't handle the situation i was hugged and cuddles and i didn't know how to respond suddenly this person was standing there to know i was related i think i only realized that part nature all of this action the liver spirit is it did you immediately recognize whoa

yeah you know i'm getting your child's mother gets the skin. now levene it's up can take walks in the forest with her youngest daughter and she has plans she will finally be able to need her grandchildren and to make up for decades off last time. and all this week d.w. has been bringing you special coverage of reports on the events leading up to the fall of the berlin wall 30 years ago when i also have live coverage of saturday's ceremonies and commemorations. now they came to italy they step circumstances now a group of migrants are taking part in the most italian of all art forms aka the migrants are taking to the stage at rome's oprah house for a new production of mozart's masterpiece it on the nail.
