this is g w news from berlin tonight a warning from germany to israel stop before you break international law germany's foreign minister tells the israeli government that its plan to annex parts of the occupied west bank including jewish settlements and the jordan valley is illegal also coming up tonight gone with the wind gone from the screams the h.b.o. max screens in the wake of george floyd's death in police custody h.b.o. will no longer offer gone with the wind saying it's racist depictions for wrongs

then and that they are wrong today. i'm burned off it's good to have you with us tonight in a rare rebuke germany's foreign minister has warned israel that its plan to annex parts of the occupied west bank would violate international law foreign minister issued the warning in israel just weeks before the new israeli government plans to make the move which has also been condemned by several other european countries. i would 1st on the agenda months and his israeli counterpart gabi ashkenazi signed an agreement on the german government providing funding for the holocaust memorial yog version. germany is a staunch ally of israel but the relationship has been overshadowed by israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has planned an extension of the jordan valley and

settlements across the west bank land the palestinians claim for their own state of origin borders with german government and our colleagues in the european union have serious concerns that they and it's a sions could make it impossible to achieve a 2 state solution we think this would be the wrong way to go this far should be. the e.u. has considered imposing sanctions against israel if the annexations go ahead germany is unlikely to take such tough measures but berlin takes over the rotating presidency of the e.u. next month and so must must come up with a common strategy in the e.u. palestinian prime minister mohammed saeed called on germany to maintain a hardline with israel you know how sensitive this issue is warre for germany but listen but others that our senses should not come back but over gotten along this should not come at the expense of the bad as the in

a vise palestinians have warned they'll proclaim a palestinian state if israel goes ahead with the annexation. and for more now we go to our correspondent tanya kramer she's on the story for us in jerusalem tonight good evening to you so we know the warning has come from germany has the foreign minister specified that whether or not germany would actually try to prevent a planned an exemption the parts of the west bank. well as a 1st meeting here with the new government and with his new israeli counterpart for a minute stick out the a she can now see for. the german foreign minister high commands and he used this visit actually to stress that germany alongside the e.u. is very very very concerned about its best plans to possibly annex parts of the occupied west bank as early as july and he also used it to stress that this term he

would consider this as in violation off international law i think what he was trying to say yes well he said he kenya as a friend he was trying to strike the very delicate balance as germany's historical commitment to israel on the one hand but on the other hand. his commitment to international law and has there been any official reaction from israel. what i think i can ask remarks have been gray well received as of warning but as a kind of friendly warning because it was also noted that he stopped short of actually the telling what possible consequences there would be if i goes ahead with the next ation and we know that there is a discussion among european states what possible consequences there would be he actually came here to say he's not putting specs on the table and he says it's still time for diplomacy it's still time for dialup you mentioned you know

a push for negotiations between israelis and palestinians but if think that's very unlikely because. both palestinians and israelis have been talking for a very long time now don your how much influence does germany really have on what israel plans to do. well i think tim has good relations to both sides to the palestinians and to israelis but also in the regional context that why he also visited jordan on this very short trip. and also germany will take over the presidency of that you council as well as the presidency over the u.n. security council so that will happen on the 1st of july as a that's the key date actually also when the israeli government could push forward this legislation to next parts of the occupied west bank so you will have to deal

with this issue but having said that the israeli government has also made very clear that they will coordinate their move with us ministrations so i think you have to ask you know what kind of political leverage the e.u. has it certainly depends what kind of consequences that will have and we expect of course that most countries except for the u.s. will not recognize such a move by israel our correspondent on ukraine or with the latest from jerusalem tonight tanya thank you. well here's a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world u.s. secretary of state my campaign says it will investigate complaints over police abuse and for news crews in u.s. cities several countries say police attacked their journalists during black lives matter protests officers fired rubber bullets twice at a d. w. news crew in minneapolis swedish prosecutors have named the man they believe killed prime minister all of palma back in 1986 but they said they are now closing this

case and since the suspect steve inskeep drawn died 20 years ago it was gunned down as he left a stockholm movie theater with his wife. mourners have been paying their final respects to boone president here. the government says that he died of a heart attack. said to step down in august after 15 years in power 15 years marked by repression and political. the german government is investigating 9000000000 euros to become the number one in green technology that's according to a new strategy paper from the government ministers are betting that this renewable energy source can reduce carbon emissions and boost the country's economy. it's a huge commitment in germany's efforts to become

a clean energy economy by seeking to lead the world in hydrogen energy generation in this environment even in cream or should we rather take energy system transformation and climate protection to a new qualitative level and we can do this by using hydrogen or more precisely green hydrogen in energy production and energy has very limited. hydrogen is already used in power plants and vehicles but most of the fuel is sourced from natural gas a process that releases a lot of carbon dioxide green hydrogen is extracted from water although it can be a very energy intensive process hydrogen is easier to store the other renewable energy sources and now the german government is committing to building power plants that would provide 5 gigawatts of power by 2030 that's the same amount of power as 2000 and just real wind turbines and would make up 10 percent of germany's total electricity capacity. germany's efforts in green power have faltered recently

opening a new coal plant to plug the energy gap perhaps hydrogen could reenergize the country's transition to a greener future. well on this week's edition of conflict zone de w's jim sebastian talks to hong kong lawmaker and leader of the probate peoples party regina about the controversial new national security law for the territory of critics say that the legislation that mainland china is planning to impose will undermine hong kong whole ptolemy and legal system opening the door to human rights violations beijing has respected outcome and law system and we have carry on with our common law system for 23 years since the reunification you know the stability and the predictability of a common law system is here for everybody to see what you kit kat describing is a situation in in mainland china according to certain human rights organization they do this sort of description does not apply to hong kong i must ask you how do

the movie gone with the wind has now gone from a leading streaming service h.b.o. max has pulled the multiple oscar winner from its library after repeated criticisms that the film glorifies slavery and perpetuate stereotypes h.b.o. says the movie is a product of its time whose racist depictions were wrong then and are wrong today are even more on this now and more on the world's highest grossing but also very controversial movie i'm joined now by you to be a reporter on showing lee hunter who talked to me a little bit about what we're looking at in terms of the controversy here when the movie was released and 939 it was considered an instant classic because of its new zick because of its performance but as time goes by the craftsmanship of this movie

has become less of an attention and instead the discussion around the depiction of slavery in that movie has become more and more important because in that movie black people has been depicted to be quite content actually to be being enslaved and even full of love for their own is and i'm going to show you a clip so you know what i mean. not. you come on and be good yes. i'm going to have a good time to. do my eating at the barbecue and you don't care 15th of august. i mean i remember that seeing i've seen this movie several times the the actors didn't the actress had mcdaniels who plays the role of mammy as you see right here she became the 1st african-american actress ever to win an oscar is that correct yes that's correct and that's why some people say that if you take that movie off

h.b.o. it's also raising her achievement but we also have to note that she wasn't even allowed to as a separate award on stage and so there is like an irony over there she won the award but she couldn't accept it on stage you know that's a little bit more than an irony if you had me going with the wind it has attracted a lot of criticism but it is by no means unique in how it portrays black people african-americans though it's not unique at all so back then hollywood was really a white man's world. there were cut tunes and movies depicting black people as being uncivilized or as full stats do nothing all day long but to sing and downs all the time and there was also a problem with black face saying for example that was a trend that persisted through it in 1950 s. till the civil rights movement and so because now people are more aware of the

racial problem and there are lots of protests going on so i decided to take that movie off for now and it says it's going to put that back but only after it at some historical context to it ok just like an annotated edition glee so that will be offered so customers will be able to watch the movie but it will come with historical context to start the time so this information they're ok as always thank you. well britain's prince philip he is turning 99 today he's been celebrating in private the prince who's been married to queen elizabeth more than 70 years is marking his birthday at windsor castle to the west of london he of the 94 year old have been isolating there during the coronavirus walked out phillips son prince charles and his grandson prince william both wished him a happy birthday over twitter. social distancing. as you're
