you. in the light of sludge. for. what's in store. for the future. for 2 major cities to get insight. which are. faster than a speeding bullet find out why this untamed is burning rubber like a race car. more on that later in the show hello and welcome to another edition of your own x. with me your host megan lee here's a look at what else we've got coming up. a baker in switzerland has opened

a special hotel for sourdough cultures. and a city pays tribute to the bridges on the euro bill. but 1st we want to take a plunge most regions of europe are too cold to go swimming outdoors but in poland diving enthusiastic can enjoy a special underwater experience despite the i see temperatures that's because a new pool has opened that takes things literally to new depths we went there to have a look. 45.4 meter that is the depth of the world's deepest pool opened in michigan off south or was so in late november perfect for allegedly swim . and should dieting practice whether you're a beginner intermediate or pro. just europe we covered

in dirt and the practice hours here's the good that part is very complicated here we can stay active all year so when does summer season story we are prepared other environments. if you prefer to stay dry you can watch the divers from the tunnel 5 meters below the surface it's a bit like being in an aquarium. michelle machine ski came up with the idea for this unique construction. of the spectacular think about this tunnel is its 20 metre laying flat surfaces give you an understood view of the pool. visitors can even practice diving in dark underwater caverns even though this requires considerable experience 'd the water is clear and

has a pleasant temperature of 33 degree celsius. with our border levers of their cupboards the couples this is rigged up for the person that there is not the but at the close is the is about. the main pool is only 20 meters deep anyone with just basic open water diver training cannot go any deeper. we strongly advise against testing out your limits in this pool divers need to keep this in mind they may descend to greater depths only during training. prove watch your adventure the. trinity is

a free diving instructor he wants to reach the bottom of the pool with out an oxygen tank. you have to hold his breath for about a minute and a half. the deep spot is ideal for honing your free diving skills. they're limited to refer to 5 meters but as a 3 day over 3 hour day the people are going to record. meaning up and down it's. a 130 meters and the difference is that the human where over 240 meters on a single grid. until recently the world's deepest pool at 42.315 meters it was located in northern italy it opened in monte gracia tema in 2014.

there are plans to build an even deeper pool in britain by 2023 it will have a depth of 50 metres and mainly be used for research but for now the published will remains the world's deepest diving he has several advantages over the ocean. the most of it was just that a good thing. like at sea you can practice here 24 hours a day you have stable temperatures and life plus we have the greatest possible safety measures in place with the structures and lifeguards present. ideal conditions for diving even though anyone looking for schools of fish and coral reefs will still have to head to the ocean. we continue now by hitting the road with our special series going into overdrive

where we take a look at some of the fastest vehicles on the road and today brutus is in focus now this is a classic looking roads are powered by an airplane engine giving it the horse power of a race car brutus actually belongs to a museum but every now and then he gets a chance to spin his wheels outdoors. hemant elia president of the technique museum since time in baton rouge is at the wheel of a roaring monster. the infernal machine is called brutus. an ant craft engine apply 750 horsepower to force him wheels on wooden rims. that was the engines running it's a sensation i'm going to revs up it can hold me in a run for all the power it revs up and you just can't wall by this engine and then

all you can do is make sure you handle it but if you just let your feelings run free with it things start to happen. it took 8 years to get brutus up and running. and other museum association members started work on one of the exhibitions highlights in 1988 they mounted a historical 47 lead to aircraft engine on the shelf of a vintage american left false motor car for 970. then with the engine was standing there and we thought what would happen if we were to run how would that be the old car broke off the restoration process a couple of times because we were afraid of what the car will do with us because the engine is going to fly and we were using it to dry before heading out hammond ly a y. as a horseshoe to the radiator grille for good luck. always turn the open side up so

the look can pour in today it's raining and without that horseshoe only i'm not getting into this car to. really step into the engine i can only sit inside the engine. what was the carcasses without a tire of the engine your heart pass a little calling for concentration as if to say don't do anything crazy this car is always trying to kill you i don't know that's just how it is now i put the decompression lever we can take off. nobody knows exactly how fast the car can go not even after 15 years of attempts to set new records at the airfield in and a nearby test track. our goes faster than to

drive it we had an englishman here who was over 70 he'd already lived his life he drove 200 kilometers an hour and box per on the grounds on those narrow tires kept pulling him back and forth and now we're just waiting for someone to say how to take it as fast as the car can really go it's just a little tricky if a tire blows or the chain breaks you'd have to know exactly how far to take things the car has no limits open. once a year bruce has fans come from all over europe to southwest germany for nick to vittie weekend at the technology museum. and brooches shows off his strength to the audience. the monster has attracted over 100000000000 follow as well why don't social media. generally you can say this car is irrational it's wild it's untamed you know you go up people have such normalise

that a car like this that's a little while sam the norm was a fascination for them. sometimes hammond tries to cruise along with brutus through the countryside. specially blocked off roads because the physical is not street legal. but at the end of the day when he climbs out he's quite exhausted. always get power on and ali you feel a bit like your nerves are blown out because this role is rather dangerous it's very narrow and the cars always point one way or the other and the sparkplugs actually cut out when you travel slow and then when they fire the car leaps ahead. then it gets dangerous. gave everyone get scared in this car

some sooner others later and then you stop then you know where you belong. it could be tonight you feel unhappy. and fortunately even a trip in what may well be the world's most dangerous car comes to an end at some point. it's not often that an 11 year old not only makes the headlines for being gifted but for also raising money for a good cause in our next report will meet daisy walk from the u.k. a young landscape painter who sells her works to help others in need daisy pains her memory and says she does it to make people happy while her works reflect a talent that is far beyond her age we caught up with the young artists is here what motivates her.

tacey watch is only 11 years old but she is already a season artist she started painting when she was 6. just ok. as mushrooms. whenever these are all well. known for daisy pennies more than a hobby her painting is a flowers sell for thousands of euros some of the proceeds go to cancer support charities. i did a. daisy paste to bring joy to others. i like to hate because i'm a couple of years ago my mom's. and my dad's momo had cancer in one same

time and i did it to change him up because they were basically because i like to make people happy. care and watch so notice your daughter's talent and again auctioning off her work to raise money for cancer charities this way the young painter has helped raise over 55000 year old for different foundations daisy has received many prizes for her commitment including a 2001000 year old shot her young achiever. do you see when daisy wants to paint she sometimes puts a little sometimes she puts a lot of this goes quite embarrassed about people comments in given all the positive comments. daisy. his her very own artistic style her culture works are often paired with those by french

impressionist claude monet. keep. in mind they are thankful because people call me me me mommy me. during lockdown she painted a rainbow of miniatures. as a tribute to frontline workers her 45th featured on greeting cards and magnets the proceeds go to the national health service. all current. ones. own. for tax purposes. and then the glass. added more details tear gas and then and the flowers. he says other pastimes include skateboarding

horse riding meeting friends and playing football at her local club she's got a pretty clear picture of her future. i want to go in there with pete and then come back and put them into my painting i one day she realizes just special she's got so many people she's ok. one thing's for certain days is future and bright picture perfect. when we take a vacation there's usually a checklist to consider before we go on the water and electricity turned off are the plans watered and so on but what about your howard. well if you bake your own bread then you know that leaving your sourdough culture on it tended for long periods of time code lead to dire consequences meaning it could die but now

a special hotel in switzerland is offering a solution to keep the culture alive. baking is all the rage these days especially with sourdough but what can you do with your sourdough culture when you go on holiday a swiss bakery has come up with a clever solution just hand it over to martin my in zurich parting can be sweet sorrow even from dough culture it was every time it feels a bit like a sad goodbye to be honest this sourdough culture has been part of our family for very long time we got it from pizza tionna in italy this sourdough culture is 150 years old and even it behind us whenever we go traveling abroad was always started this minute a hotel opened in oktober and can accommodate up to 30 sourdough cultures where $45.00 euros per week well looked after.

originally we had planned an all exclusive package leave your sourdough culture with us when you go on vacation. you have everything to look after it but now you've also got customers coming to us if they have problems but if. all you need to sourdough culture is flour and water. but there's a whole philosophy that goes with it. after all it's like a microcosm in a jar. once prepared it needs to be fed almost daily. it's a living thing. sourdough contains yeast and lactic acid bacteria they multiply creating gas which leads to natural fermentation we might even hear this when we lift the lid. then take.

i had discovered his passion for sourdough bread. training and travelling in new zealand shortly after returning home he started his very 1st sourdough culture it's almost 5 years old now now has 4 in. this culture comes from south africa we were there on vacation about 3 years ago and took a culture there along with us and they had a culture in south africa that was 20 years old so we got an exchange for. every sourdough culture is unique. stores and cultivates $128.00 of them from $25.00 countries the aim is to preserve the knowledge of their preparation and. multi-talented its virtues lie not only in the flavor but in its long shelf life and digestibility according to.

baking bread series the correspondence. with $300.00 loaves of bread in one year. legend has it that a slave in egypt was forgot to put the dough for the pita bread into the oven in the intense heat of the egyptian sun. and then the sleigh one ahead and places from in the oven what happened then. what makes our show is a raising agent and that gives it the flavor. and that revolutionized bread baking in europe and the world. today amateurs are rediscovering the merits of hand crafted bread not only as food but is a canvas as well martin maya takes a somewhat simpler approach because he has to produce a lot more than one day his bakery carries one of the largest selections. sourdough bread in all of switzerland over the past 4 years we've kept expanding because we

realize there's a lot of interest in it people like the sprits so we kept creating these new kinds in the meantime we have come up with about 15 for art he's. as the day draws to a close mountain my inspectors sourdough culture has their peers safe and sound so he turns the lights out and wishes them a good night. well if you're interested in preparing some traditional german food then check out our new d.w. food series on you tube where chef tain shows international guess how to cook it like a german. interested in german cuisine then this is the show for you. though i had come to cook it like a german look for the sistine presents some of germany's finest dishes to foodies

from around the world. a lot of meat have you done this before this will be my 1st time. traditional german fare prepared easy to follow steps from the savory to the sweet we've got it all. cook it like a german. food. if you take a close look at a euro bill like this one then you will notice that on each one there is a bridge but where they were okayed it when these bills were 1st introduced the bridges didn't exist but thanks to one designer from the netherlands these structures are no longer fiction he built replicas of them in the dutch city of spyker nyssa. a total of 6 bridges span the canals of the de element in district can spike an asset possibly

a hooded hemp in the netherlands. the designs they based on can be found in almost any way. the initiator of these euro bridges is artist and graphic designer robin stamp this is the $100.00 euro bridge. favorites what we like about it is the notes you see statues. skill them and now you see upstart objects. the designer get the idea while the center restaurant waiting for the check promised them began one where the bridges depicted on the euro notes actually stood he found they don't exist in reality in 1906 the european monetary institute how to design competition for the euro bank notes of a cleaner from austria one with his designs based on a european architectural style house. official motifs were chosen for the big notes so no country will be either favorite or left out. the bridges unless cooperation

the communication between european nations. so i thought it would be funny if. the bridges that were fictional suddenly exist. in 20000 provincetown proposed at the city council after bridges constructed by knesset. the bridges were actually needed the new neighborhood is surrounded by canals the city council strike and it's a really large there are deer and they said ok give give some person to asians and i did it and everybody loves it they said ok but now we need permission from the european bank and the european central bank headquartered in frankfurt keep us blessings to the art project. i wrote a letter and i called them. and. though it really surprised me what they wrote me back and they say that they also realize they are here and as long as you can play with it then that's fine by them but 2013 robbie stamatina architects and engineers

a complete their real life copies faithful shit every detail but on a far smaller scale. now pedestrians can pick the priests from the 5 euro note or call the 100 euro. this is the 10 euro note this is the 1st one we've built and one of the difficulties was on a note it's a super big one but now it's a progressive bridge of the 7 fictional bridges only 6 real life ones were built one is definitely worth a 2nd book. this is the largest rich of them all this has 2 thoughts this one is to turn to your oath and the 5 year note this one is based on a roman architect. true value but the bank notes his picture on. this british would be the

priciest this is the $500.00 euro bridge it's supposed to be a suspended brits and of course it. isn't. the last thing i heard that defies all the general is going out of circulation so everything that is left is this bridge. no matter how much longer the banknotes remain in circulation i'll always be part of european history and now the british since my knesset our to. our that we were on the show now don't forget to check us out on facebook or go to our website for this week's draw and chance of receiving this a backpack with a bunch of goodies inside well as always thanks for watching and was feel again there.

this is daily news live from berlin amid a crippling political and economic crisis venezuelans vote for a new parliament opposition leaders are boycotting the a legit election alleging it's neither free nor fair with hopes for a change and might as well add when ling president nicolas maduro is set to tighten his grip on power also coming up we must do more about various state leader and now he says and even tougher coronavirus locked down but will the rest of germany follow its lead. and outgoing u.s.

president dollar trump makes his 1st major appearance since losing the election but he's still refusing to admit defeat and lunch to the dismay of growing numbers in his own republican party. and the call for welcome to the show when his own president nicolas maduro is expected to tighten his grip on power and some mace parliamentary election turnout so far as low after large parts of the opposition called on citizens to boycott the vote prominent opposition leaders were either banned from the election or decided not to run claiming the process was rigged the country is in the midst of a deepening economic and political crisis that's now being stretched to the breaking point by the coronavirus pandemic after years of political turmoil many voters have lost all faith in their democracy and fear the country will see. i

further into crisis. is afraid since falling ill with covert 19 he suffered kidney damage and now needs dialysis martinez became sick last summer even though he's receiving treatment he fears frequent power outages in venezuela could put his life at risk. one night it was terrifying you could hear doctors and nurses running through the hallways calling for help. if some patients were on ventilators. 3 of them died because the power went out the heartiness monthly salary of $85.00 covers neither the cost of his treatment nor his medication he's been forced to turn to a fundraising campaign. i mean. the treatment costs $400.00. and i don't have the money. venezuela is mired in an economic crisis and martinez must work to feed his children he's doubtful that sunday's parliamentary elections

will bring change. i don't know if it's worth it to vote. one year ago there were high hopes that national assembly president. could force the country's ruling socialist from power but he failed to win the venezuelan military to sign 3 quarters of venezuelans no longer believe that he can bring about change from. has been barred from taking part in sunday's vote the country's supreme court has also hours to the leaders of his political party is calling for an election boycott. the international community including germany and the e.u. are already refusing to recognize this fraudulent election. but a boycott by the opposition is likely to lead to an easy victory for the socialist party following president nicolas maduro to tighten his grip on power. to some socialists also want to take legal action against opposition figures. we will all

vote to ensure a totally read parliament will drive out the dirty unpatriotic opposition who in the last 5 years have sought to destroy the success of the revolution. martinez has been told many times not to give up hope but he fears his country could slip even deeper into crisis. for more on this i'm now joined by journalists in venezuela's capital caracas oskar good to see you and most of the men as well in opposition see this election as a far as an iron bar calling and by not only not running but also asking citizens not to participate with little standing in the way of a landslide win from $10.00 what's at stake for the country. well for the mayor object to for embarrassment or is to regain control over the parliament that was lost to the opposition in 2015 and to do it in a way that it appears there are practically at least to his followers and our lives there are far more who are leads this to bring some kind of agenda as he drew his

administration because since 2015 all the laws that have been added by parliament have been blocked by the executive or the judicial branch still boil comodo so into law for the country to regain congress in order to have that legislative branch congress really hasn't been allowed to exercise their power in these years despite this the best on congress is considered the only legitimate institution left to notice where it is believed the only thing keeping the international community from officially calling this government and the teacher shit now for moto what's at stake and for venezuela is keeping the status quo in the country and that means having this branch of government aid him regardless of what the international community might think now or what does this election mean for the opposition. well you know this isn't the is this is. since the elections were announced they

have stated it is the for all just like in the past elections specially since 2017 when voter fraud was proven and even admitted by the go to the machine many senators smoke magic you know for this election the electoral council is using different machines but voted for all goes deeper and just not just on which you almost disappeared into the selections were by the movement of the distribution and the main opposition political parties were not allowed to run in this election is going away they were forced to boycott it and what they could be expected for next year when the new congress is installed is your persecution against these programming to reduce their fall one will write us kushnick on these deeply controversial elections in venezuela thank you very much let's now take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world lebanon's capital beirut has been hit by a hail storm for the 1st time in more than 50 years the intense downpour led to flooding in some areas they hail to many residents by surprise and comes just

months after a massive explosion that favored port left some 300000 people homeless. dozens of families have been evacuated from their homes after heavy flooding in parts of northern italy areas around the city of modern a have seen heavy rain strong winds and snow in recent days leaving 2 major river in the region breaking its banks. thousands of people have taken to the streets of the capital minsk and elsewhere to demand president alexander lukashenko resign from office the march was the latest in nearly 4 months of weekly demonstrations hundreds of people have been detained by police. and romanians are voting in parliamentary elections with the governing pro european liberals tipped to win many hope the election will restore some stability and one of the poorest member states. the german state of bavaria has announced tougher coronavirus lockdown

rules aimed at slowing the rate of new infections their state premier marco's made the announcement after a special meeting of the varian regional cabinet on sunday the new measures will see people having to provide good reason for leaving their homes and a maximum of 5 people from 2 households will be allowed to meet in public. political correspondent julia so delhi is with me for more julia stricter measures in the variac at this set a precedent for the rest of the country. premier in bavaria has been a proponent of stricter restrictions already before during the pandemic and has done just that now implementing stricter restrictions as those we see nationwide now in the last meeting between the federal government an america and the state premiers have been just 10 days ago and then they decided on what would happen over christmas and those rules were supposed to hold for the whole christmas period and

currently a new meeting is scheduled for january 4th but the said today that he sings a new meeting is necessary before the christmas holidays to evaluate whether the current restrictions nationwide are working or whether state leaders and americans should follow his lead and implement stricter ones despite these measures that are already in place germany hasn't been able to significantly reduce and faction rates how serious is the situation here. in germany if you look at the numbers overall and compare them with neighboring countries in europe for example germany is doing quite well the german has managed to stop and level off the exponential increase in cases and it is now around the 202-2000 mark and if we look at deaths for example germany reached a record number this week 487 but that is around half of the deaths we've seen in italy for example this week what is not happening is john in germany is a significant drop in the numbers we've seen other countries in europe implementing

harsh lock downs and seen the numbers drop significantly in germany with the partial lockdown they have just leveled off the curb is flattened but not going down and that is what is worrying and others in the country and with more people getting infected of course more people are having to go to the hospital we're receiving reports of some hospitals here in germany saying that their. units are there. at full capacity. can the german health care system handle these all these cases or is it close to being overwhelmed the situation is currently of concern but not yet dramatic we see some hospitals under stress in particular in rural areas or small hospitals but there are still some beds available germany is a country in europe with the highest capita rate of intensive bed care beds and so of the $27000.00 of vailable $5000.00 are still free that leaves some leeway

obviously for the country to work with what is of more concern is the lack of personnel of specialized nurses who can care for patients in intensive care that was a concern already before and even more now that personnel is getting sick with. delhi thank you very much. here's a roundup of other developments in the corona virus pandemic italy's official covert 90. death toll has topped 60000 the country was the 1st in europe to be hit by a coronavirus south korea is raising its covert 19 alert levels in an attempt to slow the increasing numbers of infections in the country 631 new cases were reported on sunday the highest number in 9 months and according to britain's observer newspaper the u.k.'s plans to fly vaccine doses into the country to avoid delays at ports caused by a possible breakdown in bricks it talks. now in his 1st major public appearance

after losing the u.s. presidential election donald trump has spread further unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud speaking at a rally in georgia where a crucial senate race is under way outgoing president trump insisted he had won a 2nd term but more and more members of his own republican party are tiring of his rhetoric. the show must go on donald trump returned to the rally stage showing defiance in the face of defeat he repeated his unfounded and discredited claims of victory at last month's presidential vote. and his missing but they say we lost the only way as they stuff the. president through one. trumps democratic rival joe biden has been declared the winner by enough states to ensure victory and more than 30 of trump's legal challenges have failed in the courts but the president sees an alternative reality. i. have my lord

i be a very gracious loser. if i lost i would say i lost and go to florida take it easy and go around it so good a good job. here ever except when they see. the rally in georgia was for republicans contesting the state's runoff senate election in january put some interim spot in party a growing weary of his rhetoric georgia's republican governor has refused to take steps to override the state's probe barden poll results. georgia's runoff election is especially critical the outcome will determine which party weighs power in the senate. to kenya now work conservationists are carrying out a rescue operation to save her enough to rouse trapped on a flooded island the animals home territory in the western part of the country has been inundated now especially billed barge as being is to move them to safety.

the latest research series. information and context. coronavirus of the code that special monday to friday on. online hate speech is a powerful thing sometimes all it takes is one tweet or post by a user and suddenly they're hit by tons of insults and threats but it's hate speech so dangerous that it should be censored or is freedom of expression more important hate speech versus free speech our topic today unsaid. according to facebook only one in a 1000 posts were white contains hate speech the targets are often individuals like

homosexuals muslims or women who 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 and special advisor on the prevention of genocide big must. start. ways with small action and link which no one. thought it that the whole look costs was preceded it. by hate speech it crams and hate speech continues to escalate tensions and animosity between groups here are 2 recent examples. in mark. an open smear campaign and social media against refuge of muslims a deadly crackdown by me a mars army sent over 700000 refugees fleeing the country. conflicts with the

muslim minority have flared up time and again for centuries. since the mars population gained access to the internet in 2014 targeted misinformation about the region was disseminated. south sudan. here hate speech and social media has found the flames of civil war and further divided the country 64 tribes. 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 or some say that this is so hurtful that it should be forbidden others 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 have managed to separate things. in a clear and by the way as renowned american civil liberties activist the dean struck. speech refers to and most of which is. subjective and. your own more. than that has been you bought. answers are being in here aren't we they and subject to the discretion who ever has power to enforce a. top of that definitions are very indifferent parts of the world denial of the holocaust for example is illegal in 1000 european countries but even here freedom of speech is not held as a duggy 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 simply true with respect to all 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 invented that honest discussions are the only way to overcome distance between opposing sides counter speech is a very important factor and by that i mean any use of your freedom of

speech hours to persuade educate in. support do anything you can to advance the cause of the messages of equality and inclusive of men diversity and dignity and to rebut the counter messages. there are limits. on what individuals are directly attached. to the 10 constitutes a criminal offense such as libel or threat of bodily harm is. it's no longer protected it's freedom of speech. tech companies have started taking more actions against negative content on their platforms not least because laws in europe have been tightened but there is still plenty of hate speech on social media because that kind of content brings money. hate speech is controversial it's highly emotive and it or tracks clicks critics maintain that companies like facebook and

you tube are well aware of and actively promote the spread of posts containing extreme content his books algorithm for instance long favored potentially controversial. because they get more views and they to people spending more time on the platform which increases. this was because they pursued growth in a way that was reckless. to promote content in a way this insatiable 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 in the. face that projects these assertions the company says it has 35000 employees deleting hate speech posts. in the 1st quarter of 2020 facebook took down over 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 violence. could be to shooter games the fall of 2 selves to massacre home. sexual or jews other. far right groups have links to closed hate speech groups on telegraph these have clear rules for every must follow ask of a well known he committed violent offline to become a member that's what i wanted to get. i wanted to prove myself to say that i'm here you notice me. that's why i beat someone up i told the leader and even sent

him a picture. at took that photo to prove i belonged to the group. that this is my family and i had to anything for them but. these days kevin no longer hangs out and right wing check groups in germany the majority of hate messages on line about 3 quarters comes from right wingers about my percent are by leftwing extremists and 14 percent cannot be definitely assigned to any political orientation according to germany's federal criminal police what i find especially interesting is that about half of all like for hate comments come from a really small number of users only about 5 percent experts have long known that hate speech complaints are often well prepared and carefully typed only someone who's been targeted by such a complaint can now how devastating it can be someone like stephanie palmer from eastern germany in 2015 she launched an initiative to help refugees in her hometown

. in 2015 a sentiment for i told was turning against refugees just if you prefer to call that an organization to promote openness and tolerance she was super borrowed a bit on the hit messages. you should be ready to go and get out of town we have the baseball bats ready to go. and things like that. come down and that was just the beginning for mil blogs was also blown up and people call her at night. my guess is if you got this kind of felt like it was coming closer and closer to one i'd come home and he would immediately lock the door behind me and then i would take every room holding pepper spray in my hand corked it almost bordered on paranoia with the trends. but i think at moments like that he's being afraid can be good to a certain extent because it makes you cautious and alert some of the hostility she experienced all it has left it's more. just keep track of 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 this guitar and there are days when it really hurts when all at once i 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 emotional axed the scum hostile content for posts that could carry legal consequences. not all those attacked wish to file charges this also has financial reasons then. 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. and 8 advises people free of charge. if someone can't pay the court fees the organization offers legal aid. and also provides practical online security culture. these are 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 internet 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 threats often have sexual connotations many attackers remain unknown shielded by the anonymity of the internet. and i later found how to recognize is 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 a 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 because there we have to say clearly this has to change. event your image court rules that an offense has been committed then websites have to be compelled to cooperate here . 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 i and see this in.
