6:06 pm
a bit more flexibility for a song is the prime minister he could he can make decisions for himself he could say ok i will move this or that goal poles are founded on can't she only she has to talk to all the capitals the big capitals at least in the european union and say do you agree that we give a bit more on let's say fisheries or we give a bit more or let's say state aid and so they can't really bring this to a breakthrough tonight what they can do only is to sort of the show that there is still a will to continue negotiating and then. michel barnier and david frost will have to get back down to take out pizza and send which is as we heard and continued this long slog towards an agreement and then no bets there really is totally open 5050 whether this will end well or whether it will end in
6:07 pm
a catastrophe both sides jews really want to come to an agreement though how much of this is real irreconcilable disagreement and how much is just shattered. it seems we might have just passed or we are in the process of passing this theater explained because now it's really getting serious on monday the british parliament is going to vote and vote yes on this extremely contentious northern ireland bill that is going to take back part of that was draw agreement that then of course is a real cause for a mess of anger on the side of the european union so things will go from bad to worse from here basically they have tomorrow to figure out whether they can still somehow wrangle these 600 pages of text to the point where they say ok we can say yes to that it's not very heartening and there are some big capitals like of france and also the netherlands spain for instance denmark which say the
6:08 pm
mission of the me has already given too much ground we need to put the stick in the spokes and sort of stop this this carriage from moving further because we think that we will be getting a bad deal for the european union so it's not good to negotiations are not in a good state at the moment is bubble of evil and brussels thank you very much for your analysis. let's now take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world clashes have broken out in paris between police and protesters demonstrating against what they say are worsening economic conditions and deteriorating social rights and freedoms and franz the protest comes as president emmanuel mccall's government faces heavy criticism for trying to push through a new controversial security law. former french president but this

mediterranean into the e.u. . to pantai abuse said 2 spacecraft has successfully released a capsule carrying rare asteroids dust and rocks is expected to land at a remote base in australia and around an hour scientists hope the 4000000000 year old samples it delivers to earth can help shed light on the origins of life. tense anticipation space fans in tokyo followed the live streamed progress of japan's high of 2 spacecraft as it made its way home after 6 years and 6000000000 kilometers of space travel now back in earth's orbit it successfully dropped off a capsule containing rare asteroid samples. the capsule will turn into a fireball during entry into earth's atmosphere and is expected to land somewhere in the australian outback but the exact location is difficult to predict.
6:11 pm
we know very accurately where the higher bruce said to is traveling but we cannot control the winds on earth so we anticipate the capsule will fall somewhere in this large red oval area on the diagram. japanese and australian space agency officials are waiting on the ground ready for the search and retrieval mission. scientists believe the asteroid fragments collected on the distant asteroid where you grew container cannick matter that hasn't changed since the solar system was formed they are hopeful that these rock and soil samples will help shed light on the origins of life but higher bruce said to use were is not done yet it is already headed for another far flung asteroid on a new mission that is expected to last a decade let's bring in the fake i have been in from day doubly is science to ask
6:12 pm
for more on this so fake are welcome the capsule is making its way back to earth as we speak what do we know about the samples that's carrying. well 1st of all let me say you know it's coming to earth it's actually been traveling at 34000 kilometers per 2nd and it is an amazing thing that's going to happen the songs are so asteroids you know relics they call relics from the beginnings of time of the beginnings of our solar system that pristine in a sense that made of rock and metal so minerals that we could perhaps use and there's a lot of interest from companies for instance and also countries to to mine asteroids for these minerals and for these resources why they use them in space to let's say a moon base or basal miles even already to bring those minerals back to work so that's what we're looking for here and yes they can also give us an indication of the beginnings of time of the beginnings of our life you know in the solar system and show us how perhaps earth might progress because on its asteroids moons are
6:13 pm
only different all pro and steps of their progress their life cycle so we can learn a lot about. it and to take me from a pristine example such as an asteroid that so they live around sort of between mars and cheap it's. very unlikely to be contaminated by earthly biology in a sense so very interesting as well but you're going to say getting back to the really big thing here is that they're going to miss the fact with anyway i mean this hasn't been done since the 1960 or 78 with the apollo missions lunar missions we soviet russia this is an amazing feat and we will so many other countries trying to do the same thing at the same time because it's all about shimon space flight can we go somewhere and come back to earth even you know because i think the folks everybody else about space flight and going to places like mars is you know the coming back so we do want to work out whether we can but come back to earth and this is going to be one of those examples it very much looks like being samples are just about to return to earth what can you tell us about the imminent landing and what will happen to this precious cargo here on earth. well it's going to be the
6:14 pm
1st cover to answer that question is going to be investigated by i mean trash people this column is going to enter the earth's atmosphere about a 120 kilometers from the ground up at 12 kilometers per 2nd it'll open up a parachute this capsule open up a parachute and you know then they'll be have the fly around the area it's in the outback yes and in south australia we've heard like abyssinia woman it's also around the would be area where marilyn go was based you know these nuclear test sites of the last century when you know it's out when nobody can find it really you know as well and the australians put a detention center the immigration detention center there once so it's out in the middle of nowhere nobody can get there and you don't want it to be anywhere residentially don't think pauley want to anybody's heads so they're going to have to find this thing get in there and then hopefully these samples that survived it's a bit like you know when astronauts come back down to earth in a parachute capsule so there's a good chance that they will survive the song in

6:17 pm
according to facebook only one in a 1000 posts were white contains hate speech the targets are often individuals like homosexuals muslims or women. you get hundreds of replies per day to something they've posted but online hate speech can also target entire ethnic groups and it can escalate tensions and incite real violence says the u.n. special adviser on the prevention of genocide big must. start. always with more action and language no one. thought it that the holocaust was preceded it. by hate speech it crowds and hate speech continues to escalate tensions and animosity between groups here are 2 recent examples. in mark. an open smear campaign on social media against for him for muslims a deadly crackdown by me

a mars army sent over 700000 refugees fleeing the country. conflicts with the muslim minority and fear took time and again for centuries. mars population gained access to the internet 2014 targeted misinformation about the revenger was disseminated. serves. here had speech and social media has fanned the flames of civil war and further divided the country 64 tribes. the platforms are used to spread propaganda targeting particular groups. in south sudan online attacks have also often been followed by physical assaults. but what about if hate speech is only online well some say that this is so hurtful that it should be forbidden others
6:19 pm
call that censorship they argue that we should be free to say exactly what we think so where is the line between 8 speech and free speech the answer to that largely depends on the country you live in. not even legal experts admits to separate free speech and i think speaks in a clear and bonnie way as renowned american civil liberties activists nadine strossen. speech refers to and most of which is. subjective and. you're more. of a nation that has been you bought. and being in here aren't we they and subject to the discretion who ever has power to enforce it. top of that definitions of very indifferent parts of the world
6:20 pm
denial of the holocaust for example is illegal in 18 european countries but even here freedom of speech is up held as a value worth protecting kitty is strawson this herself the daughter of a holocaust survivor nonetheless she says censorship isn't the right tool to his against hate speech. that well and and as in censorship it is it ends up doing more harm than good and that is specifically true with respect to cost denial or any other kind of disinformation or misinformation in fact any kind of censorship the natural human reaction is that more attention is drawn to the very message that one is seeking to suppress. the former chairwoman of the american civil liberties union or a.c.l.u. is convinced that honest discussions are the only way to overcome distance between

6:22 pm
emotive and edge attracts clicks critics maintain that companies like facebook and you tube are well aware of and actively promote the spread of posts containing extreme content facebook's algorithm for instance long favored potentially controversial. because they get more views and they to people spending more time on the platform which increases news. this was because they pursued growth in a way that was reckless and. to promote content in a way this is ational stuff would get more exposure if you take extreme measures to get rid of all hate speech then you're going to slow down the growth. projects these assertions the company says it has 35000 employees deleting hate speech posts. in the 1st quarter of 2020 facebook took down over
6:23 pm
9 and a half 1000000 inflammatory posts a new record according to laws in europe companies are only obliged to take down hate speech after it has been reported but in close groups content is only visible to members so it's unlikely hate speech there will get reported because posts are being seen by like minded audiences this is true for chat groups and also for online gaming communities where hostility can be expressed in a different way. to the world's largest p.c. games platform is not without defining. who could be to shooter games to fellow selves to bus or home. sectionals or jews others. far right groups have links to close to hate speech groups on telegraph these have clear rules that every must follow as cover well knows he committed violent offline to become

eastern germany in 2015 she launched an initiative to help refugees and her hometown. in 2015 a sentiment that for i told was turning against refugees was to people after the thought that an organization to promote openness and tolerance she was suitable bartered with messages to see if you should be ready to go and get out of town we have the baseball bats ready to go. things like that. that's come down that was just the beginning for a mill blocks was also blown up and people told her at night. if you got this condition out like it was coming closer and closer to one i'd come home and you would immediately lock the door behind me and then i would 1st check every room holding pepper spray in my hand corked or almost bordered on paranoia way to cleanse. but i think at moments like that being afraid can be good to

a certain extent because it makes you cautious and alert and. the hostility she experienced all it has left it's more. it could target the primary days when the verbal attacks just roll off me i can stand there and say oh come on you can kiss my butt on his guitar and there are days when it really hurts when all at once to fall silent and take a step. that's horrible and a lot of people have had similar experiences there are going is a chance that specialize in dealing with hate speech and digital ourselves to help those who have become targets of hate campaigns one as hate aids in berlin the 1st thing hate and employees try to do is to stabilize hate speech victims emotion when . they scan the hostile content for posts that could carry legal consequences. not all those attacks wish to file charges this also has financial reasons then.
6:27 pm
if you've been libeled or threatened for a post and you go to a lawyer who says all right we'll take it to court you're facing at least 2000 euros and costs and if you lose you have to pay the other side's legal fees that's another 2000 years or 8 advisers people free of charge. if someone can't pay the court fees the organization offers legal aid. it also provides practical online security culture. isn't a huge problem online right now our attempts to get people's private data by their home addresses our children's schools. we help them comb the engine out before the haters do and hide that sensitive data about a. good 500 people have contacted the organization over the past 2 years 65 percent were female when women or girls are attacked online tracts often have sexual connotations many attackers remain unknown shielded by the anonymity of the

internet. and i later found holder recognizes that it's important for people to be able to be anonymous online. but if someone violates the law she thinks their identity shouldn't be protected. also the huge problem we have in germany and in almost all european countries is that acts are committed on line. which courts rule are punishable by websites or don't hand over the culprits data so basically they're protecting the guilty ones there we have to say clearly this has to change . event your mental court rules that an offense has been committed then websites have to be compelled to cooperate if you're. i'm grateful to say i've never been targeted by hate speech have you how do you defend yourself against abuse and hate speech on the internet let us know on facebook or you tube by and see you soon.
