10:03 pm
a 1st lady and also difficult to say what he's facing expression was because he was wearing that mask but he definitely could hear the shouting it's important to say though that this reflects how to fight it this country is normally people would respect the silence that a funeral deserves but most of the people who are at the supreme court and that's what we saw yesterday there are liberals and said these are people ruth support gives birth last wish that was the next justice for the vacancy that the supreme court should be named but the new president in charge that means after november 3rd we know that on saturday president trump plans to announce his nominee for this vacant seat on the supreme court he has listed 5 women who are possibilities do we know who their front runner it. exactly saturday's going to be the big important day here in washington d.c.

donald trump already said he's going to nominate his candidate to fill that vacant seat at the supreme court and there are 2 front runner candidates that are on his list one is attraction barbara boy from florida she is the daughter of cuban immigrants being as panic american and from florida a crucial state in this election means this pick would definitely be a political message to the people the voters in florida and the other one that probably his favorite is a kone baretta as she is trash on the u.s. appeals court in chicago c. is a conservative who sounds against abortion and is known for supporting donald trump in his immigration policies she has also mentioned several times of the importance of religion and her decisions specifically of the cartel the court legion yes that's right she is she's cleared to be a developed catholic we know that the composition of the supreme court it's always
10:05 pm
important but it could be decisive after a late should do you know them better especially if the result is disputed let's hear 1st what donald trump had to say on the matter of a possible disputed election results take a look. see what happens you know that i've been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots or it is their sister. who are writing to you to make ensure that there's a nice little word for all of the we want to get rid of the ballots and you'll have a very transpo have a very peaceful there won't be a transfer or frankly there will be a continuation of the ballots are out of control you know it and you know who knows it better than anybody else the democrats know it better than anybody else. until really to the head of the f.b.i. told lawmakers on capitol hill today that there is no evidence whatsoever of any attempt to defraud those 1000000 ballots and yet the president continues to make comments like that what should we be preparing for then for election day and for
10:06 pm
the week or weeks thereafter that is a very good question brant we will not know on november 3rd election day who is going to be the winner of that election a few minutes ago president added to that of the sound bite we just heard that he's not sure that the election can be honest so the situation that we're going to have after the election day it will be days or maybe even the weeks off uncertainty not knowing who the winner is who the next president of the united states is going to be this is also the reason why you name it that just before the elections could be a crucial move on they would probably comes because if there is doubt about the results of the presidential elections this current the highest court in the country they will have to decide you know and that new supreme court justice could cast one of the votes deciding who the next president of the u.s.
10:07 pm
will be our correspondent who really did some work on the story for us in washington to really thank you. now to an historic reckoning for the german car joy invokes wagon it has long been accused of collaborating with the military dictatorship that ruled brazil from 1964 to 1905 the claims are that the company spied on some of its employees and then supplied information to the dictatorships security services leading to the arrest and torture of some of its employees now v.w. has agreed to pay the equivalent of 5500000 euros in compensation to the victims to avoid the case going to court. what happened in brazil was a dock chapter of volkswagens history it's a story that was uncovered by german public broadcasters and the newspaper in an investigation in the 19 sixties and seventies opponents of the military dictatorship were handed over to the security services at the company site in sao
10:08 pm
paolo because with then tortured by the military. now folks falcon has accepted what happened back then was wrong and it will pay damages of $5500000.00 euros human rights groups welcomed its decision. he sees silly of. seafood to be folks like him pies and it is now than other employers in brazil might think so it sets a positive example but isn't it really sort of silly example and it's an example that comes at a time when the current president i have both in our has made no secret of his fondness for the military dictatorship and it's late is. futile to shoot so this many of the president's supporters share his views including his white washing of the posturing the military dictatorship that's why i think it's hugely important to show what happens. no news site. for the victims this is a victory in a long battle they've been seeking damages from volkswagen and an apology.
10:09 pm
in the western german state of north rhine-westphalia investigators say they've discovered 16 new instances of xenophobia among police officers and that's in addition to the 100 state police officers already accused of spreading racist or extreme right wing views but accusations of such behavior among police officers are not confined to just one state here in germany this next report comes from the eastern state of saxony. 009 maya always wanted to be a police man he was idealistic and wanted to stand up for what's right. but things did not go to plan during his police training in leipsic he was exposed to racist and far right language. as if we had lunch together and talk turned to politics a colleague would say i'd rather vote for the nazis than the greens my jaw dropped i was shocked but for a lot of the others it was as if we were just talking about the weather. and this
10:10 pm
type of talk was not confined to zoo months fellow recruits he also heard it from his police instructors. in western trainers said we need to learn to shoot straight because there are so many refugees coming to germany of course i find that blatantly racist and completely inappropriate coming from a police officer. and there was more shocking language in the trainees social media chatter i'm. not excusing the use an example of a want to ask message from cop does not and we hate all africans but as xenophobia grace's statement that i absolutely reject. the man decided to pull out of his police training we contacted the police authority in saxony they sent an e-mail dismissing the allegations. no evidence has been established of
10:11 pm
unprofessional behavior relating to these police officers no indications of continuing racist or anti semitic beliefs have come to light in disciplinary proceedings or other internal appraisals. recent incidents in north rhine-westphalia do however point to the existence of far right attitudes within the police $29.00 offices that were suspended after they circulated hate speech against foreigners on social media. the police trade union rejects any suggestion that far right believe some become institutional. i don't think it's a problem for the german police as a whole police officers by their nature are conservative that doesn't make them right wing my colleagues and i stand up for order and justice i don't believe there is any problem of structural extremism even if there are isolated instances of. not bad tomorrow also denies that the exposure of far right groups within the
10:12 pm
police erodes public confidence in officialdom. i don't think public trust has fundamentally declined confidence may have cracked a little but it will recover of the next few months. no my ad doesn't see it that way he believes the biggest problem within the police is the failure to recognise that change is required. i think there is a culture of learning from previous mistakes it's a basic problem that when mistakes are made everyone agrees to sweep things under the carpet rather than making so the same mistakes are not repeated. for this former police recruit the overriding obstacle to institutional reform is a misguided collective spirit. he's following the story. we know the police in these cases are isolated so
10:13 pm
how widespread is the problem of extremism in the police in germany. well brant as you say and as we saw in that report there has been repeatedly this claim that these are just isolated incidents but the fact is that there have been allegations and proven cases of right wing sympathies and far right speech among police officers from around germany going back many years one thinks back to the early 2000 and the investigation into the n.s.a. the so-called national socialist underground and the killings count that carried out there by a far right group and the and the claims that the police were really unwilling to follow up the the clues that led to the far right and preferred instead there to investigate the immigrant communities who were actually the targets of those
10:14 pm
killings and then again today from north run was failure the police there we've heard that there have been 100 suspected incidents reported of far right speech and sympathy is being shared among police officers there 100 cases just over the last 3 years and it's not just saxony north rhine-westphalia we've also heard these stories from heston for instance hamburg and berlin where there was a case just this year of a police complete are being used to find out personal information about a left leaning journalist before she subsequently received anonymous threats so you know those are just a few examples ongoing repeated and for many systemic problems in the police you know we see the leaders of several german states push for a national investigation into this and yet the german interior minister he keeps resisting why. that's right he hosts a home for the interior minister is reluctant he says the an inquiry just looking
10:15 pm
at right wing extremism in the police would be narrow and distorting and he's waiting for a report that's currently in the pipeline has been long planned coming from the intelligence services into racism and extremist views in the security services more generally but it's fear that you know there's a certain sense of delay rather than focusing on these incidents and a lot of opposition politicians have said that the interior minister is behaving as if an inquiry into the police is some kind of attack on the police whereas they say if you root out the bad apples and find the problem then you actually protect those beliefs of this is probably the majority who are you know democracy loving and supporting the values of the constitution here in germany. i mean young from the story for us here in berlin simon as always thank you are going to take
10:16 pm
