what is different on the islands of the south pole here women are in charge. archipelago as at a matriarchal system for centuries the rare form of society do it. differently and then what do they do with their power. to pull queens over rango starts marching on t.w. . what is the military in the interim are doing to its own people 2 weeks ago generals sent in soldiers to overthrow the democratically elected government now they reportedly sent in soldiers it's feared to overwhelm the crowds marching against the coup a country in open revolt its democracy denied its rightful leader deposed song suchi she could be silenced and she could be sent away a decision for the generals

a decision they've taken once before i'm burnt off in berlin this is the day. they stole from experience what it's like to have freedom we have to resist that we won't live under a military dictatorship everyone is unified in opposition to that they lied before that they hold an election back in 1988 and if there's no special reason to protest we don't want to be seen as weak we've already learned our lesson from that page of history of the world is watching closely and any form of heavy handed response is likely to have severe consequences. also coming up the u.s. congress is urging president biden to punish companies constructing the nord stream to natural gas project connecting russia to germany could sanctions be in the

pipeline at president biden has made clear that north stream too is a bad deal bad deal because it divides europe and courtly sanctions are only one of many important tools to ensure energy security and one of course we'll do this all in partnership with our allies and partners but our position has not changed on that on the deal. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of you around the world welcome we begin the day with the military in. me and mark 2 weeks have passed since the army overthrew the country's democratically elected government the generals justified the takeover saying of embers national election was rigged although they provided no evidence well since the coup the country has been in open revolt demonstrations were getting larger by the day until early this week when soldiers were reportedly sent into

silence peaceful protesters in me in mars' largest city yang gone and deposed leader aung san suu kyi her future is as uncertain as her country's she appeared in court this week on charges that could land her in prison it is difficult to know exactly what is happening however 3 days ago the military blocked all access to the internet for the entire country. a battle cry for democracy tens of thousands of protesters flooding the streets of young gone stepping up their open revolt against a military takeover car she says road blocks to keep security forces from moving around the commercial capital. in this cat and mouse game it appears to for now it's the mice who have the upper hand internet shutdowns another attempt to disrupt the demonstrations have largely proved futile even than john says the shirts as

a free and fair elections have been met with deep skepticism exacerbated by fresh criminal charges against on sons who cheat. i know that the young people of this generation don't have to believe the military is promises they lied before that they'd hold an election back in 1908 so we've already learned our lesson from not page of history of iraq. there's growing concern that myanmar's bloody history could be about to repeat itself the un says it's received reports of soldiers being ready for crackdown in young gone sparking fears that scenes like this a merely a taste of what's to come. but i didn't know but is this activist told the daily news they're not backing down no i'm not afraid i'm not afraid we beings that we have been under the military control for years so this is that we have to finish them this guy we we we this guy we went oh what shall we give

a crazy when your uncle was very early and. asked the world watches with bated breath for many here me and mar there is only one way out of this. forward with their fists high even if no one knows where the world will beat them. and for more tonight i want to bring in mr moans aren't you a 1000000 more academic and human rights activists he joins me tonight from london mr zani it's good to see you again the u.n. warns that me and mars military is on a precipice just how close is the country tonight to a crackdown by the army. well it appears that the army is no longer using the pastrana. which would have been you know cracking down on protests across the country using combat troops and

killing thousands i mean that's what happened in 1988 and that's what happened in 2007 against the saffron you know months or the months revolting the military seems to be a bit more sophisticated and also they seem to be in a big dilemma because they're not looking at just simply people on the streets you know most a lot of young and old people out on the street protesting across the country in different cities and towns and even villages they know that they are basically. in deep conflict with this is science the epilogue you know 50000000 people staring you down you know however well quipped and well trained and well organized you off they've got to have a 2nd thought about resorting to the wall street spy knowing that they are using sleep charts that they're using all kinds of terror methods and turning

a shutting down internet from 1 am to 9 am but this is a night raid yes and the military junta the they know that the international community is not presenting a united front against them china for example preventing any measures at the u.n. security council. yes absolutely i mean they can counter china you know also register for the veto protection if u.s. or other west and into the 3 west and veto powers on the security council decided to table any binding motion that the hunter has to have back cover however estherville you know like me live in a very ideologically diverse and said you know what kind of climate even in the united states we don't try and said the hunter has been emboldened but this symbol

lighting in all of this is that you know the generation who came of age having tasted a degree of limited political intellectual and cultural freedoms over the last 10 years they are not afraid you know of course that they are afraid they do what the military is capable of doing it but they end up prepared to beat back under soviet style dictatorships which from a list of during the importance times well how much faith do they have in a western front led by the united states and its saying she's against the military . well i think we need to understand that the brand recent new generation have been helped by you know into the hackers from everyone in the world like an anonymous a central. regional democratic deadhorse from hong kong to taiwan city

make still tiny bit but they're not been flying all around the united states or nor even own sense since you do does it hurt them from this repressive state they are self-reliant they have ads you know nisha and white civil disobedience movement you know not just food testy on the street but civil servants working out of their departments and gridley and bringing the state and ministration to a halt that is their strategy they are not looking for say via from anywhere else all right mr zandi joining us tonight from the u.k. mr zandi as always we appreciate your time and your insights very valuable tonight thank you well still to come on the day of lung cancer has claimed the wife of one of the most influential and loudest voices of

america's conservative right radio host rush limbaugh has da and if we should have to tell you this and i thought of not telling anybody i thought about trying to. do this without anybody knowing this i don't like making things about me. because for germany to scrap the nord stream to gas pipeline with russia well they have gotten louder and that has everything to do with the kremlin critic alexina of all for the us and france russia crossed a red line their opposition to the project it goes back to the a bomb an administration when the us labeled nord stream 8 threat to european energy security and there is bipartisan support in the us congress for sentients against companies building the pipeline nord stream to is an underwater pipeline running through the baltic sea that would transport natural gas directly from

russia to germany work on the pipeline is nearing completion. and supporters say the nord stream pipeline will provide affordable energy to germany as it things is out nuclear power and coal power opponents warn that will make germany too dependent on gas from an unreliable country. are for more i want to pull in mr andreea snick he's a member of the german parliament from chancellor angela merkel's c.d.u. party he is also a member of parliament foreign affairs committee mr nick it's good to see you again you and i. we spoke what a few weeks ago about nord stream to you and the german government's position before only yes to the project no to us ancients at the time where do you stand tonight. i think the separate dimension to this discussion i think as you mentioned one of them is question whether unilateral

sanctions instrument that is appropriate in the relationship between close allies in this context i think in over 30 year old book by secretary of state and to me think and has recently got a lot of attention in berlin it shows he's convinced that unit actual sanctions against allies are not a good idea or that this should be taken back and we should we trust that the secretary of state will be able to deliver on that position and if that's the case in this context i think we can hopefully come closer to a unified position on how to deal with energy were a ships was russia going forward illicit about that book we understand that you and others here in berlin in the foreign policy world you're reading a book written back in 1987 the title of that book and we can pull it up on screen to show folks there it is ally versus ally the author a certain anthony blinken who happens to be the new u.s.

secretary of state and his book addresses a soviet american rally over a different pipeline and his conclusion is don't force allies to do something against their will leave that for the policy with the soviet union are you betting mr nick that 34 years later his thinking has not changed. well i'm convinced a good academic education pays off in foreign policy and i have no reason not to believe that mr blinken is continuing to sink what he very eloquently laid out in this analysis many years ago i think we know him we trust him we think he's representing foreign policy that is absolutely interested to align policies and interests with close allies we understand the administration is under a lot of pressure from congress that i think 2nd level is very important intro's

whether we can find a common strategy a common ground on how to define interests energy relationships with russia going forward i think that would have to have an all in composite discussion it is not about imposing certain policies on one particular country but it would be for example a discussion whether we would in general in the west agree that we want to backtrack from energy relationships with russia which would also include just $30000000000.00 of crude oil purchases by the united states in russia that is a discussion that administration may have to have with its own congress and if we if we go on on a common policy that is a different different starting point for the discussion but it posing unilateral sanctions on an ally is unacceptable and takes the attention away from the fundamentals of this discussion yet let's listen to what the german foreign minister hike a mosque what he had to say this week take a listen. listen predicts drive russia and china closer and closer together

and they formed the largest economic and military alliance there is what i don't think that should be the strategy of the west and this just in that. and therefore i am against burning all bridges to russia up to slog it does and says i'm here are burning bridges to russia mr make that that sounds like he thinks russia has the leverage here and that europe and germany do not or am i reading that wrong. no i think absolutely not we i think do not simply do not support the idea that the discussion on how we deal with russia given its unacceptable behavior internationally and domestically was in the value case should be refused to bilateral issue between russia and germany i think we have today seen. an interim measure by the european court of human rights again in the council of europe

demanding the immediate release of list and of a need to have ongoing investigations in that context and i think we should put the whole scale of options on the table that should include as it freezes that should include travel bans that should include applying magnitsky law within the european union to do with human rights perpetrator that he the whole menu needs to be set up to speed to be on the menu we have categorically refused to test this issue by electrolyze as a german russian issue it is a very fundamental issue on human rights and the rule of law and we should also not bilateral eyes the question whether energy relations with russia are acceptable or not in this context i think again as i said if there is an all in composite consensus i think this is different this is a different story but it would be very difficult to explain to the german public why. gas that comes to a certain pipeline is more problematic than gas or that is delivered other channels

to other countries i mean that that is a valid point what about the idea of using the pipeline as a political circuit breaker if russia misbehaves then you would turn off the pipeline can you imagine germany turning off the gas with russia if in that situation i mean is that threat is that leverage credible. i think we have to look at 2 different scenarios as county talking about a construction project that has basically all permits to be completed i think if we were to stop that now that i think would be a substantial risk of billions of dollars of compensation payments and damages a thing no one could seriously want to trigger that this is just a one off and a decision whether to complete the construction and not if there is an ongoing supply this could substantially always be subject to sanctions depending on the development i think that is something that would be decided on that you level in a context that would also take other you members it would be a very different story line and i think it would be we what we want i think is it

is 1st of all that unilateral sanctions are taken off the table and that would have an honest and open debate on whether we would use sentients in the energy sector against russia but that would then would have to be true for everyone and not only for one particular project and for one particular country mr under as nick we see why you're on the foreign affairs committee in parliament and it's good to have you on the show tonight as always we appreciate your insights and your experience thank you thanks ben but. here tonight is a special man be loved by millions of americans who just received a stage 4 advantage cancer diagnosis. this is not good news but what is good news is that he is the greatest fighter in winter that you will ever meet rush limbaugh thank you create.

a and former president donald trump there on the ring the firebrand conservative radio host rush limbaugh with the medal of freedom news came today that limbaugh has died from lung cancer he was 70 for decades going back to the reagan era limbaugh was a staple on the american airwaves and one of the most influential voices on the right the rush limbaugh show went on the air in 1988 and within years it gained a loyal following of millions of listeners its hosts in cindy airy rhetoric against former president barack obama women and minorities triggered countless controversies his detractors say that he helped so the division that paved the way for the election of donald trump to the white house ard to talk about

this man i'm joined by ethan barron he is a us political commentator and a nationally syndicated talk radio host he joins me tonight from the great state of california is it is good to see you again for people watching us around the world tell us how much of an icon rush limbaugh was for american conservatives aim was he really partly responsible for the election of dumb will drop. well i mean he there is no overstating his influence in radio and right wing politics here in the united states. as you point out since 1988 and that really is ronald reagan . removing what was called the fairness doctrine in 1907 that allowed rush limbaugh to happen but let's not forget the fact that rush really did carry on the legacy of the southern strategy and that racist roots of that portion of the

right wing here in the united states but there is you know there is no denying his peak tens of millions of americans on a daily basis listen to his show. and ultimately i do believe that he paved the way for the syrup a lens the tea party the donald trump's in the united states he actually did make that happen there's no denying it it is just what harm did he cause in the process with those racist statements playing to people's fears in the rush limbaugh was for a while the de facto leader of the conservative movement in america here is speaking at c pac the conservative political action committee back in 2009 take a listen. we believe that the preamble constitution contained any unarguable truth that we're all in down by our creator with certain inalienable rights among them life liberty freedom

was in the pursuit of happiness. now that was a very tame sample of rush limbaugh what you say. head definitely i mean he repeatedly throughout his career and let me preface this by saying look i've studied rush limbaugh as a talk radio host there was nobody better i mean he absolutely put on the number one show in the united states i would study his show he made racist statements whether they were couched whether they were little little pieces of red meat to the base that he would hide the language in a way to couch it to make it more palatable to the audience or sometimes being right racist in his statements regarding the n.f.l. for example but to your point this guy led the conservative movement he led on everything from fox news to see pac to any republican gathering to that

culmination in the medal of honor which which many of us really rejected that that should go to a talk radio host here in the united states in a highly controversial figure who reviews that contribution verse eat and and use this preying on people's fears to build that will audience to make himself hundreds of millions of dollars of or is a career yet he was a wealthy man and he was a man who had his own personal demons did he not absolutely i mean while he would rant and rave on the radio about people with addiction he himself apparently suffered from his own opioid addiction causing some of his hearing loss requiring surgery and hearing aids among other things so he was also a hypocrite on that standpoint i'm always pointing the finger at others yet suffering from those same things himself and having no compassion in that process

and i found that really sad to not read more on those issues and instead love to blame. talk radio host ethan behrman joining us tonight from california talking about the late rush limbaugh even as always it's good to talk with you we appreciate your insights thank you thanks brant. finally we report every day on many world leaders who demand attention by the volume of their voice by the severity of their statements but last night when an 8 year old girl asked us president biden should she be afraid of catching the coronavirus the response he gave the gentle reply of a gentle man well that certainly got our attention and he has your school but have you ben is cool honey i know now see that's that's kind of a scary thing to you don't get to go to school don't get to see your friends and so

with a lot of kids and i mean and big people to older people they just their whole lives is sort of changed like when it used to be used to be this go outside and play with their friends and get in the school bus and go to school and everything was normal and now when things change people get really worries scared but don't be scared on me don't be scared you're going to be fine and we're going to make sure mommy is fine too. us president job continues all along you'll find us on twitter either a d w news or you can follow me a golf t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody.

this is. from berlin spain is gripped by a 2nd night of fun rest. popular rapper who was sent to prison clashes have erupted in barcelona and madrid between police and protesters demanding the release of pablo hostle he's charged with glorifying terrorism and insulting the royal family get a live update from barcelona also coming up tonight to state or to go to nato considers its future in afghanistan defense ministers have begun a 2 day virtual summit to decide whether to continue the fight for to withdraw all

their troops and a legal while stoned in india's me too movement a court clears a female journalist she was charged with defamation after she accused her boss a man of sexual harassment. i'm good to have you with us we begin in spain where police have clashed with thousands of protesters out on the streets to support a wrap of art is to was jailed over his lyrics on this is the 2nd night of violence in madrid and barcelona police in the cities attempted to break up the protests using rubber bullets in tear gas tonight some demonstrators set up burning barricades and there were dozens of arrests and injuries. are demanding the release of left wing rap group. he was convicted on charges of glorifying terrorism and

insulting war you'll see in his songs and in his tweets. are from morning l. joined by stephen bergen in barcelona good evening to you stephen talk us through what is happening where you are right now. what's happening right right now basically house window is a series of running battles with the police where the protesters barricades mostly with rubbish pens parts of them the police arrived and they go off to the street and this is. past hour and a half it's been going on our block a lot of. it's expected to are much and this will continue for a while. we understand still a little military underway in light looks like this is extent this is extended

beyond. that as big demonstrations and imagery and more police violence or violence between protesters and the police also in our country and other parts of the country sirte is becoming somewhat more widespread than last me and we understand that the government announced just last week changes to the criminal code when it comes to freedom of expression now is that connected to what we're seeing right now. well i think i think it's more of a coincidence i think that you know this problem cell was you know charged some time ago he was supposed to go to prison and he barricaded himself in the university and was arrested yesterday i think there's more underlining feeling among young people that there is a sort of an underlying right wing tendency neo-fascist tendency within the state

that isn't being addressed at the weekend there were a precious demonstration which was allowed to go ahead no it was arrested. and a feeling of frustration among young people about their freedom of expression which is quite possibly different from the freedom of expression the government is proposing and maybe also could it be tied to the restrictions of the pandemic all of that coming together and you have a younger generation that sound event if you will for its frustration and can we describe it that way. i think i think as a part of the i think people i mean all of us i was frustrated by you know year of consecutive lockdowns and obviously for young people this is particularly frustrating and i but i think it's more the sense that. that everything that's happened in the past year with covert with the the failed and effectively translate

all actions last sunday or or the elections failed to resolve anything as a sense among young people that their political leaders are not up to the job. right stephen bergen joining us tonight from barcelona with the latest on the situation there stephen thank you. nato defense ministers have begun a 2 day virtual summit to consider the alliance's future in afghanistan this is the 1st such gathering since the us presidential election meaning the may deadline for troop withdrawal set by the trump white house that deadline is now in doubt the ministers will discuss whether to continue the fight against the taliban or to withdraw their troops even as the taliban increases its attacks against afghan police and civilians after the 1st day of meetings nato secretary general you. laid out the alliances plans for their mission in afghanistan. we will only leave and

the time is right and the focus now is how can we support the peace efforts the peace talks and the re and the joyous. relaunch of a new strength and new momentum in the peace talks because that's the only paul for peace. as you know we went into afghanistan together. nato allies partners on united states often on 11 we have made this issue as on the just you know press this together and we will also make that decision when the time is right to leave together so it doesn't sound like nato is getting ready to pack its bags in afghanistan w.'s brussels bureau chief alexander phenomenas she has more on bags remarks. he rather stressed that that before we can think about a withdrawal the taliban had to have to stop the violence stop their attacks and

they have to stop supporting international terrorist groups so he is on in favor or he stressed during his press conference that it is important that a potential withdrawal will be based on conditions on the ground and that is something that we also heard from some defense ministers today from the german defense minister for example who said that she didn't see enough progress in the peace talks between the government in kabul and the taliban and it is also very telling that fence minister are not going to make a formal decision on a date and that is also very telling because it shows us that there are probably going to set aside them a deadline was alexander phenomenon reporting from brussels let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world gunmen have stormed a school in central and kidnapped dozens of students and teachers staff say one

student was shot dead in the attack large numbers of men in military uniforms holder we have students from the government science college into garra in newsier state a few managed to escape the u.k. and the united nations are calling for evidence that a missing dubai princes is alive after she released a video saying that she is being held hostage in a solitary villa shake a lot safer is the daughter of shaikh muhammad leader of the united arab emirates she said she had no access to fresh air or medical care. prince philip husband of britain's queen elizabeth is in the hospital tonight the palace sources say he does not have a clue but 90 the move is described as a precautionary measure prince philip is 99 years old.

south africa have started the rollout of its 1st coded 19 vaccination program with president cyril ramaphosa getting the jab on front in front of cameras today in cape town 80000 doses of the johnson and johnson vaccine will be distributed across the country with health care workers getting inoculated 1st as part of the research study this comes after the country dropped plans to use the astra zeneca vaccine over concerns about its effectiveness against the fast spreading south africa coronavirus very. our correspondent adrian creation since this update from a vaccination center in cape town. right i mean behind me you can see vaccination station so this is where the 1st health workers at this hospital in getting their vaccine had to move moved of happiness here and that's actually bringing one of the health care workers see a doctor who can call he's been working on the front lines with covert patients and

you just got your vaccine i was here with you in late december when there was the 1st speaker the 2nd peak actually of the curve it's cases and you showed me around here it looked quite crowded dozens of people the room where people are vaccinated now was packed with patients back then coughing sitting waiting for a bed now it looks much better but still me why is it so important now for the health care workers to get this vaccine. being a front line worker is very important. for this vaccine. for long to get this vaccine and they are going to complete this very important because we've seen with this virus can cause we need to create a. i mean we need to create. a kind of immunity in the community and the only way you really to fight this disease is to get vaccinated and that's why the frontline would need to. be on the front lines so i need to be

vaccinated be protected be immunized so that i can continue fighting for the disease in saving the life of the mechanical i thank you very much for your time and all the best for your work but he was not the only one who got the vaccine obviously other health workers but there was a surprise guest coming here today the president of south africa serum up was also came to this hospital to get the vaccine basically to show people it is safe because in the past weeks there was quite a lot of confusion here you mentioned the astra zeneca vaccine delivery that came here and 1000000 doses 2 weeks ago shortly after was a study was published that said well it might not help against mild disease from the new variety that is dominant here in south africa that's why the government decided to put. the rollout of the astra zeneca vaccine on hold that was pretty much criticized from a lot of people around the world just to say well it's could still help with a mile to the east but the decision was done by the government knowledge of the johnson and johnson vaccine that is vaccinated here and you have to remember this

vaccine is also not in use in any countries yet it's not approved yet even here in south africa so what we see now the vaccinations are still part of the face 3 trial and this is where the president said well i have to show people it is still safe it can still help because when it comes to the johnson and johnson vaccine they were 1st studies that proved that this vaccine can help with a new variant that was a dream cruise they're reporting from keep tellin in south africa now to india where a former government minister has lost a defamation lawsuit against a female journalist who cues him of sexual harassment the verdict is being hailed as a victory for india's hash tag need to move. happiness and relief after a landmark ruling that priya rommany believes will empower more indian women with the right to speak the truth and obviously there was a pushback to that and i think today's sure is that women can withstand that push back you know that it's not that easy to shut us down romany accused author turned

politician of sexual harassment she said it happened in a hotel room where he scuttled a job interview with her in 1903 denies having met her in a hotel but stepped down from his junior minister position when rommany named him as her abuser in 2018 bar then sued rommany for defamation saying her accusations impacted his reputation but the court ruled against him. in the court today said that the tradition cannot be protected at the cost offered right to dignity this is significant for india for me to movement as a dissension he says that women making allegations cannot be accused of defaming alleged abuses. or money and several witnesses accuse ackbar who was in his forty's at the time of using his power to prey on young women who were desperate for work up our denies all of the claims against him calling the allegations politically

motivated his legal team also questioned why it took so long for romany to come forward the court ruled the timing was irrelevant but romney has been battling in court just to have the opportunity to speak out something that many women are afraid to do 14 others have made similar accusations against akbar you know when she spoke and the stories that started coming after her she really really empowered women so. i think that them to silence her and others truly backfired on them. romney says the verdict is vindication for all women who have spoken up like a. sexual harassment at work. you're watching the news kate ferguson is up next with. stick around she will be right back.

reasons and one of them is it to supply chain itself the u.s. semiconductor manufacturing is specifically the one coming from austin it's that relatively small when compared to the ones have from china south korea or even to taiwan but right now we need to to be aware that global supply chain it's a disruptive by several factors we can mention depth in deming we can mention delays in transportation or even deterrents but that's when what we say local manufacturing will be crucial or essential and what's happening right now it's that when you shut parts of that local manufacturing as it's happening in osteen you don't only and lose a millions of dollars but you also make a situation that it's already bad even worse now either the car sector has been affected especially by this a shortage of chips why if the us. well could be because people like myself bought

a lot of electronics are over dampen damage but let me let me explain in the early days of dipping demick that car demand collapsed and the demand for electronics skyrocketed by dan out to maker so what they did it's shut down production and they also decrease extremely dire demand for semiconductors and for for saving money and now as a car demand it starts picking up so does the demand from the 2 makers for those semiconductors but the problem is that right now they are in the into of the line of semiconductor manufacturers and does these it could create a problem that could cause out to makers around $60000000000.00 a huge impact the whole thing is how thank you very much. media mogul rupert murdoch has reached a deal with google over compensation for content produced by his news corp empire
