women who say they have affairs with as it is district attorney describe the decision as a tremendous victory for the u.s. justice system. so let's take a closer look at this with washington bureau chief innocent paul welcome so let's start with the ruling against the president talk assume what the judge has decided . well you know 1st of all the justice justice decided fill that checks and balances all still in place here in the united states that a president is not immune against in criminal investigations against him during his time in office. very specifically. they cleared the way for new york attorneys to look into donald trump's tax returns into donald trump's financial papers and that can be seen as a huge defeat for him because that was exactly what he really wanted to primitive
6:03 pm
to prevent from happening ok but he also scored a victory today didn't. write it i mean the democrats also wanted to get access to these papers and the supreme court blocked that so that is a victory for donald trump and he'd because that would have had much bigger political implications so close to the upcoming election so let's have a listen to what nancy pelosi said about this verdict. the supreme court including the president's appointees have declared that he is not about the law. the point the path that the court has laid down is one that is clearly achievable by us in the lower courts and we will continue to go down that path the decision enables it to enable the trumpet ministrations.
6:04 pm
and i know what they're going saying about it i hear he's tweeting one thing and then the other people are saying another but whatever it is it's not good news for the president of the united states to go but point with a poll with 5 months away from i mean election it's what does this these rulings mean for the president. and that's below the obviously pointed out they will keep fighting they want to get this information and we shall see you know if something gets leaked or not that is something what people now well what democrats are hoping for now i mean it means that this is another problem for donald trump i mean he's facing. huge major al health problems in his country with corona with the coronavirus the hospitals are running out of the capacity the economy is not doing well that's what he really needed to get reelected so all that now the
6:05 pm
fear that some information that just takes information that his financial records will be leaked will get out might make his reelection even more difficult for him thank you for that one the bureau chief. germany the country's interior minister and domestic security chief have released a report profiling crime committed last year and they conclude that the biggest danger facing the country is right wing extremism. the security threats in germany are manifold with one area still a particularly high concern says the german interior minister. let me start off with the area of right wing extremism racism and anti semitism this area is the greatest threat to security in germany. nothing is change that on the contrary the number of offenses the number of people linked to right wing
6:06 pm
extremist circles and the number of violent far right extremists has increased further. just. a number of particularly brutal far right acts made headlines over the last year in 29000 pro migration conservative politician via term look who was killed and a gunman killed 2 people in an attack on a synagogue and. in february this year a gunman shot dead 9 people in one hour some 90 percent of anti semitic acts in germany a far right motivated the report lists around $8000.00 moved right wing extremists on the radar of german intelligence agents compared to last year. that spike in numbers in part comes from the authorities putting the so-called fluke of the party under observation an unofficial grouping of far right politicians. but
6:07 pm
opposing politicians want the whole party to face scrutiny. of the bill is not the entire a 50 but it has spread across the entire a 50 the free will is deeply rooted within the f.d.a. which is why it would be important to put the f.d.a. as a whole under surveillance because there are traces of the few clever way. and. as far as security is concerned left wing and islamist terrorism remain the 2 other big threats cyber attacks and espionage also play an increased role readiness to commit violence is growing on all sides. as a society and we must be alarmed that the threshold to commit violence has been declining steadily that the number of violent acts has risen exorbitantly and that online we are witnessing the rise of a front of hate in contempt which makes the unspeakable acceptable and paves the
6:08 pm
way for violent acts in real life. the german interior minister stressed that no previous german government has been as active in its efforts to combat right wing extremism 3 far right groups have been banned they say here alone new special units within the agencies have been founded and a special government committee will hand over its findings to the german parliament next spring. take a closer look at this report with the political correspondent. well so this report backs of many others that have highlighted a rise in anti semitism in. exactly what the reports make it makes very clear that the biggest threats of war when comes from germany's security even foreign agents left wing extremism and islamic terrorism but the far right terrorism indeed and if you look at the rhetoric of the far right here in germany that was spreading conspiracy theories for years against migrants for example especially after 2015
6:09 pm
and a wave of asylum seekers that reach germany define right kept on saying that and to send it to get a view was imported even gemini by mostly migrants but if you look at the report you see that over 90 percent of and 70 contacts here in germany stem from far right says and not from muslim communities and whole as they offered the interior minister to say that this was a disgrace that anti-semitism was on the rise in germany over all countries referring of course to germany's nazi past and a response that he does for the holocaust we've heard the interior minister saying that this government to do more than others to tackle extremism what is it doing. well the emphasis right now is put on trying to tackle new forms of extremism efforts are directed towards identifying isolated individuals of a terrorist says outside to see if it's already known by the authorities and the need to be dots more difficult to detect the reporter so highlight the threats
6:10 pm
represented by doe's individuals especially if they are in possession of weapons and so something that's taken very seriously are threats being sent email post and look at a petition who was murdered last year hundreds see such threats so bomb threats are taken very seriously and of course decimus such as the one established by to far right terrorist group not course which had planned on targeting townsend's of left wing politicians journalists activists helping refugees for example so the focus on the all targets is right now he's very much on hold those terrorist cells but this course will need a manual shots thank you. research estimate that germany is home to about a 1000000 people of african heritage and many of them say racism is part of their everyday existence to you have been talking to. about their experiences. dancing is an us david hobby but that wasn't why she stood out in school she stood
6:11 pm
out because she was one of their a few black pupils at her school in southern germany i love i love my love i pretty much all my friends were white i didn't look like they didn't didn't do the same things that home that they did and in a way i always had the feeling i had 2 identities and had to read just depending on who i happened to be hanging out with dancing gave her a feeling of belonging because when she danced it didn't matter what color her skin was but in everyday life people make comments to put her in a box she says. the losses are going to be things like a what your university or what she were a high school these things make it hard to feel at home because you don't look like the others and you don't have your roots here like all of them i did what they found in addition to her studies and has a job as a social worker she supervises a group home for youngsters with mental disabilities but i'm so when i get on the
6:12 pm
subway train sometimes i feel the looks like get in a certain tension for example that someone holds their bag a little closer somebody will scrutinize your hair or your hands you just never know it admiration like wow what beautiful hair she's got or is it discussed you never know. because sony is a billionaire as well she will start sociology studies this fall she's very close to her mother well he can realized very early on that her daughter was treated differently from white children. about who she took ballet lessons like any girl she wanted to dance ballet in a pink tutu and jump around and she came out to. the trial lesson totally dejected she was 3 years old and she said mom or i don't want to be brown anymore moments like these spurred into action she started a playgroup for afro german children so at least once a month her daughter would have the feeling of not being the only black child but us process most look at racism can really be hurtful many people want to hear about
6:13 pm
these experiences they might think oh well it's once a month no it's every day when you go out every day if you don't get a job or an apartment you applied for it's not always for racist reasons of course but that's always one of the 1st things you wonder cut so many hopes that the current debate about racism will change society's perception of people of color not just short term but the long term to. now we can take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world will start in serbia which is banned gatherings of more than 10 people abuse the spread of coronavirus in 2 nights of violent clashes between police and thousands of anti-government demonstrators in the capital heard. protesters oppose the government's lockdown measures. police in seoul say they found the body of the city's man park monsoon in a wooded area north of the city is the daughter reported him missing hours earlier
6:14 pm
so he left a phone message that sounded like a will was the pa was reportedly facing allegations of sexual misconduct. australia has suspended an extradition agreement with hong kong if the china imposed the national security though giving it sweeping new powers that prime minister scott morrison said australia would also extend visas for skilled workers from the tri chinese territory wants to lower hong kong businesses to the country to drive tahlia north or swiss have seized the migrants rescue boat operated by the german n.g.o.s see watch claiming it doesn't comply with the safety regulations of the vessel sea watch 3 was used to rescue more than 200 people stranded at sea last month in april it will be banned migrant rescue ships from docking at its ports because of the corona. i mean i said states a trumpet ministration is threatening to strip international students off a u.s.
6:15 pm
visas if their course is continued to be taught in tommy online from september moves proving a deeply unpopular and it's causing a stir on and off life reporter nicola responsible welcome nicole so let's start with the new visa guidelines well it seems just yet another result of this pandemic at least new yes west schools also are closed at the moment offering online teaching and now the department of state is telling international students well if you're only enrolled in fully. online courses and programs you're not going to get your visa for this all some ista will also not be able to enter the country and if you're currently enrolled you have to choose either you leave or you find a course that actually office in person instruction so quite a few challenges if they don't follow these rules they might be deported it's quite heavy consequences and it all comes as the discussion about reopening schools across the country is in full swing donald trump has only just met
6:16 pm
a few of the professionals of the sector of the education sector and make clear that he wants the reopening of schools who want to rio he actually called harvard university ridiculous for closing for the whole season so you see where he's sort of standing and his deputy secretary of homeland security ken cuccinelli confirmed that the new directive will encourage schools to reopen so you see there's a lot of pressure building up only for the schools but also for these international students who maybe want to continue their research don't know where they're standing now and might feel like a bargaining chip right now so how are the schools and the students reacting while some of them are reacting quite forcefully hey they're taking to court harvard university and also the message to say it's institute of technology are suing the trump images and ministration over this they want to block this directive harvard alone has run 5000 international students and if you look at the whole country it's around 1000000 of them so quite a lot of people and quite
6:17 pm
a lot of anger that is also on social media if you look at it these new guidelines of being described as cruel disturbing damaging for the scientific community because let's not forget these students are not only studying they also most of the days do some research that is important for institutions across the u.s. and social media wouldn't be social media if there wasn't a calypso flow because other fellow students wants to want to protect them they're also spread sheets going around right now to find out. the fact the students who can offer on campus spots like in person teaching their sports for these online sports so the international students don't have to go anywhere and don't have to be to port it but surely outside the country now because you wanted to see your family or be with your family during a crisis you might very well have to face these new guidelines now and stay with that as long as it stays active really nicole arista.

minister viktor orban. indeed very high level politicians from from the governing party and actually the house speaker is you frankly that are making homophobic interest phobic comments basically in the in the media and what drives it is that you know you have to ask the government but my suspicion is that it's about creating a new enemy creating a scapegoat in hungary at which also the tories the attention from from other issues which are highly problematic far for this government but the current hunger in government is is very well known as a government which creates enemies migrants civil society and now it should be to be a t.q. people are transferred coal in hungary just to blame them and direct the national
