9:06 pm
countries as in many you projects will receive less money out of out of this program then they pay any for example germany but that all aside most groups a majority of political groups here decide that this is a very important deal and has to be done but they disagree on some of the technicalities or the correspondent wants to with the latest tonight on the european union's plan green deal max thank you. can germany's chancellor angela merkel help broker peace in libya well that is the hope berlin confirming tonight that it has invited the 2 rival governments of libya and their generals as well as the countries supporting them to talks here in berlin this coming weekend it's an attempt to shore up a very shaky cease fire and it comes a day after strongman khalifa haftar are left a peace conference in moscow without signing the peace deal that was reportedly already on the table. the talks were meant to bring an end to the conflict in

9:14 pm
i'm interested in you know kind of her solution for student debt and i know she's talked a little bit about affordable child care things like that are a thing very interesting to me especially as a young mom who has a lot of student. the crowd seems fired up when she takes the stage elizabeth warren talks about growing up in oklahoma i have 3 older brothers about her family and how they struggled financially after her debts heart attack when my mother walked to the sears and got a minimum wage job a middle wage job in america would support a family of 3 it would pay a mortgage cover the utilities and put on the table day. minimum wage job in america will not keep up mama and baby out of poverty that is wrong and satisfied.
9:15 pm
elizabeth warren is running for president promising to bring about big structural change with the goal tilting power toward working people and away from big corporations and the rich and dead seems to resonate with many in the us not only here in oklahoma city one of most prominent liberals in the us as as a young adult warren was not much of a political activist and for many years registered as a republican the university of texas in austin it was here that elizabeth warren began her work on bankruptcy. douglas like coke was one of my colleagues at this time helping to relaunch of a large empirical study on the topic is really driven by. sire to protect ordinary americans. whatever she may have thought growing up but what she thinks now based on the data is there are
9:16 pm
a lot of people in deep financial trouble. not because they would in wild spending sprees but because they fell through the cracks in the system as presidential candidate warren vows to take on big finance big pharma and big tick but her critics say she's too far left corporate america's worst enemy frightening to even many democrats if the best democrats tend offer is business as usual after donald trump democrats well liz in oklahoma city at least it's difficult to find anyone who isn't inspired by warrants result to fight for me as a woman it translates very personally because i most often we're not supposed to be fighters and she's changing that stereotype them in terms of being donald trump i really think that she does have a big big chance and i would love to see the 1st female president elected as
9:17 pm
president of the united states it's a long run against don think it's that elizabeth warren hopes to win by getting out and talking to people face to face. with human rights watch has published its world report 2020 today and one of the major countries in focus is china the report highlights the plight of the 1000000 muslims held in so-called political education camps in western china and says that they are forced to disavow their identity and to become lawyers government subjects beijing is not only continued censoring domestic media it's also successfully put pressure on foreign companies such as car makers volkswagen and the hotel chain maryon to quash any criticism the report also focuses on china for its mass surveillance of its own people calling it the most
9:18 pm
intrusive public monitoring system that the world has. ever known and the people at human rights watch they can talk about that now with a lot of credit bill they were going to talk about that i'm joined here at the big table tonight by the men from human rights watch german even some house because it's good to see you again you know we had your boss the executive director last night kenneth roth on the show here talking about he wanted to release this report yesterday in hong kong but he was refused entry into the country or into the territory on sunday were you surprised to see china or the authorities in hong kong say no you can't come into the territory. we knew it was a risk because of china's squashing of free speech and. any criticism about china and on china and but i mean it was also
9:19 pm
a proof of what we are saying that china is not tolerating any questions so with throwing us out or not letting us into hong kong actually punish the ones who is treated sizing the oppression of the chinese government its sins the message that china not only wants to silence the message it's also willing to keep the messenger silent or out of the picture absolutely and we see this increasingly and that's probably also why we published the report with a focus on china this year and it's because china's human rights violations spreading now globally we have seen human rights violations within china for many years and becoming worse and worse but increasingly the reach of the chinese government to silence its critics it's also globally it's reaching out
9:20 pm
abroad to other countries students chinese students and all. for example universities they're being punished by criticizing china it's like a contagion isn't it the more power the more influence china has globally then the higher the likelihood is that people will think twice before you know speak their mind or they do things that we would consider part of basic human rights absolutely i mean china 16 percent of the world economy so they have a lot of power a lot of power to pressure other countries to stay numb that's why we call on states on governments to bat up together those who dare to speak out because if one country does it it's very hot to to keep this going so we need to see teams of countries to speak out against the bully china and reporting on this report is part
9:21 pm
of that effort but you know we know you and i both know that china does not allow dortch of other d.w. news to be shown to be broadcast within china so the chinese people they don't see us so at the end of the day you have to ask can this report can it really change anything in john. well we think so because this report is calling on the countries to stand up against the big bully china and we want to motivate and we want to encourage the countries to stand up for the rights of the people those countries who still think it's worth fighting for human rights in some accounts in the director of human rights watch german events we've reached that you've taken the time to start with this tonight thank you. full it could happen at any time and when it does the lives of maybe millions could be threatened authorities in the philippines fear able kaino close to the capital manila is about to erupt the government raised threat levels after the keno began spewing ash and
9:22 pm
lava on sunday so far about 30000 people have fled but nearly half a 1000000 have chosen to stay in the danger zone. attack a tasty is a ghost town. ash from the volcano is everywhere. even without a major eruption residents have already been hit hard. us the ash from little karina traveled with the wind and unfortunately it blew in our direction but i didn't just affect us physically but also our livelihood our business had to close down but it will take a while to clean up and i feel bad for the workers especially those who rely on a business to support themselves in a way it will go by. some are already attempting a cleanup but the filipino authorities a clear things could still get much worse the not dealing with the condition of the
9:23 pm
tal volcano remains at alert level for that means a hazardous explosive eruption could take place in a timeframe of hours to days. so look at us. this is what the authorities are afraid of as well as the potential danger from lava an explosive eruption could cause part of the cocaine or to collapse into the lake triggering a tsunami. with no certainty over when disaster could strike residents and their livelihoods are left in limbo. the spanish football powerhouse barcelona have sacked their coach and esto valverde after 2 and a half seasons the club appeared to lose confidence in him despite being top of the spanish league and despite valverde leading them to a league and cup double 2 years ago and retaining the league's title last season former real betis coach k.

said he will be his replace. the world's most powerful are ambivalent towards him blush gaga one of slovenia's best known investigative journalists his research into the finnish arms dealer pantry and help put a former slovenian prime minister in prison for 2 years on corruption charges. but it's gaga sensitive findings attracted the interest of intelligence agencies he believes that includes germany's intelligence service the b m d that's why he's now at germany's constitutional court fighting with other foreign journalists against possible surveillance by the b n d. there is really no need if an intelligence service in that agency we are so very me and my war i'm going to the public interest. for kong local for the fighting so hard to. regenerate on the right side so why do they why
9:25 pm
should they spy on us. while the surveillance of journalists within germany is restricted germany's intelligence services may spy as much as they like outside the country they can collect massive data for example what happens to the information the b.m.d. collects is unknown but in an era of international terrorism intelligence agencies are cooperating more closely than ever before everybody home all for a little bit more about. contemporary history and laws specifically in the intelligence right now and there doesn't serve it as a slow very ungracious specifically it is to have been the shape and play and coordinator by germany. that's why it's gaga and other journalists demand the same constitutional protection as their german counterparts they believe the intelligence services surveillance techniques are making journalists' jobs more difficult. investigative journalists already have quite a difficult walk
9:26 pm
a lot of pressure a lot of threats a lot of legal issues and systemic stanek surveillance if they can call or or much more difficult because many possible sources they are just too afraid to contact us 20. years ago germany's constitutional court turned down a similar legal action but this time the judges will hear the case and there are signs that they'll take a more nuanced approach. and here's a reminder of our top story europe has announced its green deal for the future of the plan the european union will spend a trillion euros to stop using coal and to become called the neutral in 30 years that is a quarter of europe's entire budget and authorities in the philippines they are warning that a volcano near the capital could erupt at any moment lead to all of all can you
