this week on the world stories. russia's sputnik vaccine is in the spotlight female rabbis find their way in berlin but we begin elsewhere in germany in one year ago a racist right wing extremist killed 9 people with migrant backgrounds their families of the victims want answers and their grieving is mixed with anger at the authorities. there to can last his brother good khan in a racist terrorist attack in hono one year ago must go forth and hop in order to avoid like he basically walked in and blew our lives apart or this couple he wrecked everything nothing was left in place. but it was. kin was just 37 years old following his death his family fell apart hundreds father died of cancer 5 weeks later his mother can no longer cope without medication.

and a son matt are not able to go to work and on sick leave the diagnosis post traumatic stress disorder it's like. for me it's been a whole year of sleepless nights when it gets dark you lay your head on the pillow where your head is filled with questions on being kissed and. commandant the frog. consumes you. to do to ken and his son matt on the way to the crime scene because he was shot by to b.s. at this kiosk just as he was about to finish his shift double my brother was lying over there under those 2 electrical sockets. but there were blue lights flashing and a crowd of people at 1st we didn't realize what had happened to this day many questions remain unanswered for example how was it possible that the perpetrator was in possession of the gun license even though he was mentally ill or why was the

emergency number of the hano police apparently not sufficiently manned on the night of the crime scene and the other relatives are still searching tirelessly for answers demanding clarification and consequences to do this they founded an initiative. of we're going to all of the state government to investigate the failures and also to imagine how lay the officials acted on the night of the crime and also before and after the crime and one year on there is still no explanation and there are still many many questions as to how it could have come to that feed off. this is what helps a white collar crime quantum neither the state government and has nor the hano police want to talk to us about these allegations the police union had this to say before and saying the police were responsible in the sense that it one point or another they could have done this or that and then it would not have happened i do not agree it's

a little cheap to say after the fact is that the police should have known everything before hand. since the attack can no longer feel safe in germany he's scared when he goes out at night or when his son is late coming home. last summer russia was racing to be the 1st country to have an approved corona vaccine the sputnik vaccine was rolled out before late stage trials had begun raising concerns nevertheless russians are getting vaccinated on mass. exene with the potential to save lives sputnik vs russia weapon against or the coronavirus pandemic be a kateryna for unite us on her way to get vaccinated and to go moscow's luxury shopping mall on a red square 1st she has to list any preexisting conditions and show her id then she is ready is the rational me is that i'm not afraid i had covert 196 months ago

i was sicker than i've ever been luckily i didn't have to go to the hospital but i don't want to get that sick again so now i'm getting vaccinated. since the vaccination campaign was rolled out here 2 months ago almost divides have been offered as sputnik the shot people can get vaccinated at a one of a 100 clinics but shots are also being given at large shopping malls and opera house ads for the russian develop a vaccine are visible all over the city which unlike a lot of people come here with their whole family if russians didn't have confidence in the vaccine there wouldn't have been such a run on the center since it opened up. between one and a half and 2000 muscovites are becoming infected with covets 19 every day now over the last of the city has lifted to many restrictions mainly for economic reasons theater scraps and restaurants have reopened it seems that the russian state is relying more on the vaccine then on restrictions according to manufacture us off

sputnik almost $4000000.00 russians have now been vaccinated and around town of of those have already received their 2nd dollars but independent experts doubt of these figures they say this the 2 sticks i embellish and that's creating at dangerous situation. the dozen years or so. it affects people's behavior it makes them careless or it. was or they lose their sense of danger if you think millions of people around you have already been vaccinated words you might be careful about protecting yourself if you sort of suggest the fact if the guy did. cut or enough warning us to an ethical department store she's about to get her 1st a dose of the vaccine and hopes it might bring her a little closer to the normality we all had before it 19 but even those vaccinated can still get infected later sent to evidence suggests sputnik the protects against

serious illness but doesn't mean someone can't pass the virus on she's done on her way out here enough or not get a chuckle at ice cream. she's told she has to be careful for the next 3 weeks because only then will she have produced and nuff antibodies for complete protection against a corona virus infection many are hoping that this past vaccine icecream may be the 1st step to enjoying life to the fullest once was be a bowl of viruses raging in congo 6 months after an outbreak in the eastern part of the country a new case of the disease has been identified and the population is worried was it was. that he be the 1st gentleman banga contracted 2 years ago he spent 6 weeks in the hospital doctors gave him encourage mend but he had little hope that. i was not in

a normal state anymore i didn't eat. every day i thought i was dying it be a posse give him money. but he survived a month after being released from the hospital he was considered cured but during his last test a month ago it was a different story his spam is positive again it was a shock for zouma mom they called me again saying you have to come back for verification of your result then it came out my sperm showed positive again. eastern congo early february a woman dies of ebola marking the beginning of the latest and now the 12th able outbreak in the democratic republic of congo according to the health minister she's believed to have contracted the disease from the infected semen of her husband who was himself an able a survivor. nurse moment barry mckee has experienced past evil outbreaks in

this temporary ward outside key to a hospital in good tembo suspected abler cases will be isolated upon arrival they have 4 rooms here no more. when beara fears the outbreak could be difficult to contain the government did not make the outbreak public until 4 days after the abler patient died. down as. if the government had released the result on the same day and locked down all contacts a disease wouldn't have spread like this what would the one going to be in. instead the highly infectious body was buried in the traditional manner which in congo means many relatives touching the body more than 70 contacts have been tracked by the ministry of health since then. we risk our lives we are here at the frontline because we take care of all the sick people who arrive when we were told that the 12 epidemic had started we were so frustrated and so concerned and we are afraid to

use of a. gentleman is also afraid of the new outbreak he thought he had finally beaten able but his new positive test worries him. our last journey takes us to jewish history in germany stretches back 700 years but how does jewish wipe look in today's germany we meet 2 women a rabbi and a rabbinical still live out their religion and their own ways. today is a has many faces in germany today believe in a shiny power and identifies as queer she soon to become a rabbi and she's an avid instagram user she posts about religion sexuality and life in berlin and this week resented just off a generation connected by all of these aspects of what many people learn about

judaism at school is really terrible so they're not really learning anything all they're taught about national socialism about nothing about judaism as it is lived today that's why it kind of became my goal to show jewish life just how it is. in. they grew up in a religious household she believes there are too few women in high positions and she wants to change that after completing her studies the 23 year old will likely be germany's youngest female rabbi she also wants to be the contact person she herself never have. been very clear about the idea that nobody should have to choose between the jewish and identities you can't just choose what sexuality you're born with you develop with your sexuality and if you are jewish then you should be able to live both lives. that the jewish community has come so far it's also thanks to women like. she had to fight hard to be recognized as a rabbi at all its job and there were people who left the room when i entered it so

i made sure that i was always there early because then i was already seated and the others said to think about whether to sit down and join in or not. back converted to judaism now she is the rabbi of berlin's new synagogue girliness also where the very 1st female rabbi was ordained in 935 again i do want us you want us however was limited to teaching religion and rabbinic opus torah care. the holocaust is for ever present for jews in germany you know you want to us was also murdered by the nazis and what is it like today that he. has gotten louder and above all it's become more outrageous it's often. judaism in germany today it's more diverse than it has been in decades people like

alien or will never let that be taken from them again. they will not succeed in dividing us out not succeed in taking the people off the streets because we're tired of this dictatorship. taking a stand global news that matters d. w. made for mines. children to come to this. one giant problem and we're nearing. a period.

of legal. conflict. how will climate change affect us and our children. w dot com slash water. hi i'm neil and i'm game did you know that 73 young men down and killed worldwide shari'a so that we can encourage them but it's not just be honest at all suffering it's the environment we went on a journey to find ways out of the machine if you want to know how one click to the priest and the whole just change stuff doesn't it he says listen to our podcast on the green thames

'd. if anybody were trapped in an elevator 20 minutes could be a pretty long time right ed alone. trapped in an elevator. for 20 minutes not knowing what's going to happen not knowing where you wore suits of sensory deprivation. think about that it's your life 20 minutes out an hour not the only guy on the intercom it's nothing i was trying to get you out of i was keeping he. is your communication. less existence. a lot more of the belief.

but it does not in the room. it will not end until every terrorist group. has been found. dumped and defeat. at the last more than one term. so you know empires and decline resort torture and i think it gives them the mission of mastery dominance and control by torturing essentially we blind ourselves but we could in fact create a democratic society which actually has consistently valuable and effective

techniques to fight terror the fact that we don't is more an expression of our own exotics and fears. so-called confessed interrogation techniques used by the us officials were basically designed as techniques to break down the human mind and therefore also the body because they are very connected. and leave no physical traces and cynics. stream only. destructive practice torture. on of course and those who receive this pain and suffering but also on the society that becomes a society of cruelty what we've done is we've not so much lost the war on torture as we've won the war on democracy and that through terrorizing

a population over a period of decades said that there's nobody in this country who didn't grow up with some bogeyman some danger 1st it was communism then it was terrorism. obviously. and many facets of what is generally called the cold war. which communist policies forced. but there's no doubt as to see a gauge of any political activity or any intelligence driven it was not approved at the highest level.

there was a concern that emerged at the 1st start of the cold war in the late 19th for us that the soviets had cracked the code of human consciousness. that they knew how to apply pressure upon the human mind and break the human mind and it was that that set off this whole pursuit that little to mill it to the creation of the cia's doctrine of psychological torture this was a time of with the brainwashing scare there were show trials in eastern europe made hungry in poland which. aroused a lot of vomit concern in the west because people seemed to be confessing to crimes that they hadn't committed. most importantly was the trial of cardinal munson's in hungary and thus he was

already in and after all were 2 quite famous because he was known for having assisted the nazis and their occupation of hungary. and then after the war he became the cargo in the primitive church. they arrested him they can find him those cues of being an aristocrat he became a kind of target of the regime. and then he was put on trial work publicly for incest so the charges against him and there was this fear in washington that prince of the church i mean absorb a man known for his courage under nazi pressure that if he could be broken the clearly the soviets were session of techniques.

for. says michael farr as it starts in the 1950 s. was a project of that involved a $1000000000.00 a year. there was a formal creation of british than an american corporation at the highest levels in order to mobilize the label scientists of these 3 countries in order to kind of crack the code of the consciousness. become also for medical doctors for cornell university medical school in new york city. they got access. to some of the more classified material on people that has scapes in the soviet union and now been tortured in the soviet union. wolf who's a very well known neurologist he had a personal relationship with alan dawes the head of the cia and with the human

ecology fine wolf offered to the cia essentially a friends in order to study questions of brainwashing what they discovered. was $11.00 of the 2 foundational techniques in the sea doctrine of psychological torture they discovered. self-inflicted pain if you force a human being to stay in a certain position especially if the system that puts a little stress on way commence or muscles or bones joints it doesn't take very long for the pain involved to become absolutely excruciating but nobody's laying thank you finger on you you are doing it to yourself. that was one of the it's never discovered was from the day of the

biomedical research. it was work it was the chair of the psychology department and the good university in canada. students volunteered to participate in the study of human behavior under extreme and for allowing monotony their hands and arms were slashed fully covered to muffle a sense of touch our stride subdued by a mask comfortable flight and yet it was impossible for most of these teams to take them on in 24 or 48 hours sensory deprivation really is a way of producing dreama not it's tomorrow bush variance getting worse and worse some brossard be talked about cruelty. what they said was that the degree of boredom became intolerable and was one sided said as bad as anything good thing to hitler and ever done to any of us such as to his victims as we know from almost any

basic medical understanding human contact is what makes us human and illness and they will see a person to have a sense of normalcy in their lives and when they are completely isolated from any human contact and often kept in this sensory isolation you will literally easily become severely mentally impaired. became a pit consoled the cia continued to work for them is really for general modern psychological torture. project funded another guy mcgill named dr who on camera. was on cam and the album were on sids. was was close to monstrous.

thing when 1st i don't there. i was just crying crying crying. it was hopeless i didn't know what to expect they said i was going to the psychiatric ward. you bet that on that camera and that's when cameron yes i met him and we were always terrified of him why we also fear we all had a fear of him and we didn't want to him to notice us because whatever he did it would never there was a pace and put them the patient was always green peas of the days and i was obviously a professor you and cameron was a very famous psychiatry is t.

was head of the american psychiatric association and the world psychiatric association he was the top of the field at the same time he seemed pretty much willing to do anything and that for the cia to find a doctor who didn't have limits in a nearby capital with lots of patients to work with lost as as subjects was somebody they were interested in supporting patients would come in. with ordinary and psychological emotional problems they'd sign their waivers and then they would just object to this bizarre version of extreme sensory deprivation and isolation for for up to a month. one of his favorite things was he had a sort of a football helmet with a tape recorder in it it would play a tape and look up to 500000 times say things like my mother hates me and he

would let the brain with rogue stench of deprivation and kind of psychological emotional assault well. what's working i mean it's garbage. what he did was he would put people under massive electric shock and he would give it to them in a prolonged basis along with what he called sleep therapy his idea was once you weight the brain clean stookey and wipe out the side of the a buried behavior in the bad ideas the ideas that were messing up people's minds and you could program in their ideas 'd. i was 1st hospitalized. i was about 16. 16 half

the doctors pushed me into a sleep there. and that was it for about 3 weeks in in a sort of a deep sleep but i don't remember getting up to go to the washroom i don't i just remember that the doctor came in occasionally to feed me and that was it and then suddenly after a while there was another place and they came in and it was an older one and says like in the other bed when i started to wake up i saw these patients and these patients were in tube some of them they had earphones and headphones i don't know if they did any of that to me because when i was the 1st 3 weeks i don't know what happened but this was the patterning. this doctrine of psychological torture that the. through research in the deck of

the 1950 s. and was codified in the bar counter intelligence and target and then all. it has 2 basic techniques some which all the rest of the procedures to run one is sensory depravation and the other is self and foot the pain. the c.i. a trained allied agencies in the techniques so in effect you know knowing about dissemination about if you just send these techniques to other armies could you take an ordinary individual drafted or recruit and make that person become an affective interrogator. and it seems that milgram experiment was likely part of

his project. when i learned of incidents such as the destruction of millions of men women and children perpetrated by the nazis in world war 2 i was a possible ask myself that ordinary people will courteous and decent in every day life can act slowly and you mainly without any limitations of conscience. under what conditions would a person obey authority who commanded actions that went against conscience these are exactly the questions that i want to investigate it yeah university. at the moment sperma very simply was similar to torture this was one not all the research we've been describing as the impact of interrogation upon the subject. had another agenda the impact of interrogation upon the interrogator if he were going to get

the right answer he would say wrong then tell him the number of balls you're going to get and. then give him the punishment. and read the correct word pair once he got in ordinary people who fit by all the regular scales very normal americans and then he subjected them under false color to doing what he called an educational experiment in try to encourage people to apply ever higher voltages as a false patient kept on getting making mistakes. in fact milgram was able to encourage at least in his 1st experiments i think close to 70 percent to go on to apply highly dangerous and sometimes fatal shocks to get that man think that that. means that. you know what i mean i mean it is i learned likes it or not we must go on until then i don't know

model i've used to take the responsibility and get i written that. we need an. international news center would you continue teaching this to monday life here and i mean do you get round you just to let him live. i mean i'm going to take responsibility for the i was and i don't know i'm responsible for anything that happens you continue. next to the slow lap dance trap music answer plays. ah to 95 mile. fence. he did this simply with a very simple thing putting the person behind a wall and having a person with a white lab coat telling them that they needed to continue very ordinary people can

be influenced by situations and it's one of the implications of both the milgram experiment the zimbardo it's. the stanford prison experiment was i think a unique attempt to answer that question of what makes some people behave in a good way but what makes some people behaving a bad way and so the idea was. let's let's find an evil place and present everywhere in the world like evil places and let's feel this evil place was only good people. to get the students and volved i had convinced the palo alto police department to make a mock arrest of all the students who were going to be president. and then they

came down to the basement of stanford psychology department the place where the prison study was done. the idea is prison is made to feel inferior insignificant worthless the most important thing is you take away their name they become a number and of course given they have smocks it with no underpants they're behind a showing. my 1st hour in there it was humiliating that was also abrupt was quick it was just you know take them off put this on and then i got dusted with baking soda which was supposed to be deloused there and i was living in the cell. what the zimbardo did was a very cheap doc off of. the kind of thing that milgram was doing

not only zimbardo. i think you know the guard called john wayne believed that ethics don't matter is the environment is artificial and that's not true all life is real life and. we needed to get tougher with the prisoners. and it could well be that we were instructed by the experimenters to get tough in fact i don't think we considered ourselves to be a subject of the experiment we were merely a tool of the researchers to get the results they wanted from the real subjects which we thought were the prisoners and i decided to become the nastiest prison guard that i could make myself where i am wilder than oh i didn't hear it isn't funny or you must not. get off yet all of

them. and then you would use my head like a magic trick with. you 345. i was responsible for coming up with all these routines that i would put the prisoners through where i'd have them stand in a line recites their numbers do pushups do jumping jacks. and i had never once stopped to think that these prisoners were suffering any harm or any damage were not or not beating anybody were just sort of applying psychological pressure on the doc yeah. they're all there in harmony. how did that. how does it harm just the thing that a moment people can be like and yeah and let me in on some knowledge that i've

never experienced 1st hand i read about it i've read a lot about it but i've never experienced it firsthand i've never seen someone turn that way and i know you're a nice guy you know you and just what would you have. i don't know it might play out spectacularly in the military so the connections would be much further down the road it would be particularly. in the iraq war and in the setting up of get moer and all of that. and by the time you get to 2001 it's already this cultural artifact and so it is going to be picked up by. by anyone for any permanent.

kind of people health reform economists are not there because they stole the truck . they're not common criminals. they're enemy combatants and terrorists who are being detained for acts of war against our country and that is why different rules have to apply. and i knew. the continuity is extraordinary. if you look at a sketch of the cubicle and of the student volunteer mcgill university and then if you look forward to 2002 when the 1st al qaeda suspects are

being confined at camp x.-ray at guantanamo but they're in goggles gloves and air months that look like god trust like that 1957 sketch. after $911.00 all of us working at ph our realized that there would very likely be a huge problem of interrogation gone wild meaning torture cruel inhuman and degrading to treatment. the use of extreme isolation was one of a range of techniques that were employed by a fish tales interrogators and so forth literally starting all the way back in 2002

for many many days and that is just unbelievably destructive. and they began confining people on tunnel they moved to. having psychologists do interviews with patients as cover and additional flaws individual sources of trauma and security and then they they also discovered because they were done and with muslims. muslim males are. upset by nudity

and also by female physical content and then don't. race has always played a role in american torture it's the american torture techniques are part of old military punishments punishments that were used on slaves. and. and you might find that strange but there was one area where slaves were never whipped but you use clean techniques on them so they didn't leave marks and that was if you're going to sell a slave because a slave that had wit marks means that they were not going to obey and so a clean slave was so got a higher price. the cotton industry in the southern delta states of the united states depended

completely on torture. over the course of 4 decades human beings by using their bodies as a technological form as a technological machine were able to multiply by 8 times the amount of cotton an individual person could pick in a single day so the use of torture is absolutely tied at the moment from the very canny. 2 in these kinds of cases. many people in the system. of the people who are imposing these conditions to believe that ordinary punishment is too good for these people and a lot of it is about the other disadvantage religiously ethnically. nationally

culturally it's easier than it would be to someone from your own community to do that. so. in one tunnel. secretary defense rumsfeld appointed a commander jeffrey miller whose job it was to extract information and geoffrey miller made up a cd or staffed it. and in flew to iraq and under the. with the permission of the commander there general sanchez the then camp and training sessions for the interrogators and the stuff at abu ghraib prison or he transmitted the guantanamo and techniques to the abu ghraib stuff

basically the restraints were removed and they were told to get results the thing that became so clear is that what the united states was doing was not a secret it was hidden in plain sight it wasn't really until the photographs from abu ghraib were released which were just you know the tip of the iceberg of what was actually happening that people in this country began actually talking about it. but we didn't know what it was exactly the right thing to do and if i had to recommend all of them i think exactly the right sequence of actions. that we didn't satisfy them.
