when you get in on it assume the best cereal. in the fire immediately changes mood lately than getting. how will climate change affect us and our children. and e.w. dot com slash water. the a.f.d. the alternative for germany is the leading opposition political parliament in parliament it is a political force to be reckoned with it is also apparently a threat to democracy germany's domestic intelligence agency has placed the a.f.p. under official observation the secret police making no secret about the danger or the dilemma how do you police a party that is popular with the people i'm burnt off berlin this is the day.

hitler and the nazis are just a piece of 3rd pulpit now successful 1000 year history as experience from our history we know all of that in a democracy. and a youth of the democracy now can be voted into office. if you're not defamed as a right wing extremist you're doing something wrong. in your voice that we don't want the survivalists as a way forward to this is really a good thing if i see the point of no return because the moderates are getting fewer and fewer i don't see any way of saving it. and i guess the signal is that this team of democracy is to defend itself against enemies. also coming up she made headlines when she donated $1000000.00 for corona virus vaccine research well that was money well spent now and dolly parton is getting

a dose of her own medicine. that seeing them see. that see. the still hesitating boxing exene that seen them see this wish they did in that need to. go to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states. it's into all of your around the world welcome we begin the day with germany's new biggest open secret the country's domestic intelligence agency the secret service is now officially observing the main opposition party in parliament this is a green light for an investigation that could end with the secret service declaring the a.f.d. an extremist party the news was made public today and it should be no surprise 2 years ago domestic intelligence began scrutinizing much that the a.f.p. was offering for public consumption speeches and social media that often targeted

foreigners and questioned the legitimacy of liberal democracy last year intelligence classified the youth wing of the party as an extremist group the move to watch the entire party has outraged its leadership today some of its most prominent politicians accuse the secret service of a political hit job and attempt to weaken the party just before state and national elections are scheduled to take place this year in a moment i'll speak with a founding member of the a.f.p. about today's news but 1st we have this report. the right wing populist e.f.t. flushed major triumph in 2017 when it entered the jam in parliament becoming the largest opposition party ever since the f.t. has offended relishing in islamophobia racism and the glorification of geminis past . hitler and the nazis a just a piece of bird poop and successful 1000 year history. some a.f.d.

members openly support the xenophobic movement piggy among them extreme right wing of. he's the potties loudest and most aggressive anti immigrant rabble rouser and this i thought when a nation accepts that the children and youth in their own country regard school as a nightmare because they have bullied beaten and torment to bed by margaret. funded the parties in town who group the way in which chairman security authority flagged as right wing extremist and response the wing was dissolved however its leader and supporters remain active in the party but now germany's intelligence service says the entire party is under surveillance we're joined by from christiane so he is a founding member of the alternative for germany party here in berlin is going to have you on the show mr han solo domestic intelligence here in germany has reason

to suspect that your party is becoming or it already is an extremist party or you. of course not i mean what we do what we have to do as an opposition is to criticize the government and we have reasons you have to your rescue policy which which is a big problem we have the no interest policy which is really a danger for pension is we have an income of illegal immigrant migrants and this is what the majority of the people do not want we had several reasons also seeing the european union some criticisms and the ely trying to make it a super state we want to remain as france spain is italy and the other european countries and the actual state doing policy for our country but mr johnson to get at least allies but if we're not a nationalist movement he just a democratic party criticizing our government when it's necessary but

a bunch of discrete you're criticizing the government is not the same thing as becoming an extremist party last year the secret service here in germany that began watching the youth wing of your party where it says radicalization is believed to already be taking place i mean the fear here is that the far right in germany has failed in your party a place to organize and to unify. yes i know that is what is set but it's not true and you have to see that in no other western democracy or western country there is a central intelligence interior for own parties and i mean this is very very strange situation and you know the only the the government parties like the s.p. in the city you they force the secret service in order to to get a bonus and try to get as under surveillance because they want

a real competitor just out of the out of the competition and that's all we have and we have general elections in september and that's what they're throwing from because we have now the chronic crisis we have the economic crisis and there's certain points in the actual policy which the population of rather than the major major. person general population don't want so they still want to stop this let me go beyond the 5 percent and in order that the majority of the center right people which we actually want us to go to we consider as a center right party and they want us out of competition that's a problem and that's why they do that mr you say that germany is the only country where you have a domestic secret service surveillance possibilities but but that's all transparent i mean we know that it's happening isn't that a strength of german democracy that you know that you're being surveilled but it's being done out in the open there there isn't any secrecy. now you know we

have we have. several intends to control this by by justice we had several trials against the office of the central intelligence and this is a process where officially it's not been this event is not yet official because it is the central intelligence office may not say so it's a stock by several courts to do so too glamorous and because of this neutrality they have and the competition rules. of course in the media get close to them and they say so this is how to today under surveillance but i can assure you and your spectators that we are right wing center right wing party like the tories like the other european parties where we are in identity and freedom. and there is no danger of any one of us in indirection tooth overthrow the government or to overthrow the

system of course this is correct that you that see this interim central intelligence may put parties under surveillance if they are really against the system and want to overthrow it but there's nothing within our party neither the program and nothing like that that we want to do we want to read established in a democracy a democracy. where the people get more power to decide like more and i can switzerland but there's no danger at all in this respect you know there are numerous state elections this year and there's the national election coming up in september about a month ago at the a.f. tea party convention in dresden you said that we don't want the surveillance because it discourages voters are you afraid that the news today is that going to damage you at the ballot box. you know the problem is that. since the beginning

actually of the party in the when we when we were founded in 2013 actually the media and the government. that already then said that we're right wing and the extremists i think this narrative as has come to an end does not disturb the voters from us because we have a certain 10 percent in all of these. and all the you say inquiries of this and they will not be able to get us below 5 percent when we would get out of parliament so i think this tent will fail because there is a demand for our party because mrs merkel puts the former central and center right party c.d.u. to the left and even to the green left side and there is a lack of representation as some scientists say and this is actually the gap we feel and where we will find out what the voters are thinking as the regional

elections begin to take place across germany mr frank christiane hands over the alternative for germany party we appreciate your time tonight thank you. but the pleasure thank you very much indeed but where. in the dr seuss children's book if i ran desert there is a wind that reads this zookeeper new keeper simply astounding he travels so far that you think he draw when do you suppose this young fellow will stop well the answer is now 6 books by dr seuss one of the world's best loved children's authors are being pulled from publication because of illustrations viewed as racist and insensitive the 6 titles include if i ran the zoo. dr seuss's books emphasize the weird and wacky the office use of simple rhyme and wordplay has entertained and educated children for generations but his use of

caricature as of asian and black people in several stories has been criticized as being racist now in the business to preserve stock to seuss legacy dr seuss enterprises is pulling 6 of his titles the move has angered many who claim it's just another example of so-called cancel culture. what people need to realize is if dr seuss king get cancelled what can't be. i mean really this is a kid's book to me i think everyone should be desensitized you know. i've been i'm not i'm not a guy who's gets offended easily and i think this whole society is way off. but dr seuss enterprises says the books to try people in ways which are hurtful and wrong the business made the decision after months of consultation with panels of educated isn't experts many of whom have applauded the. they were

very very thoughtful about the way they are and i think they recognize that you know these 6 books really don't fit with the way we think today about to pick people and so i appreciate their decision and i think that they've done it in a way that still recognizes the vast works that dr seuss has provided to many of us among the 6 titles discontinued if i ran the scrambled eggs. ellie gets pulled and beyond zebra but with dr seuss's catalog including more than 60 classic titles it seems hard to believe that his stories are going to disappear from the pages of history any time soon. there are 87000000 europeans who have some form of disability within the

e.u. our goal is to bring positive change in the lives of persons with disabilities in the e.u. and beyond we must ensure their rights and achieve a union of equality that was. the european union's commissioner for equality speaking about what the e.u. wants to do for people with disabilities over the next 10 years. she joins me now from brussels she has been looking into the situation for disabled people here in the e.u. . the e.u. has a 10 year plan to achieve equality for people with disabilities in all member countries where are the biggest gaps in between people with disabilities. well brant this is the 2nd 10 year plan so clearly the 1st one didn't achieve everything and it's probably good that everyone acknowledges that because when you look across the block despite the fact that laws exist saying there shouldn't be any barriers to

transportation education health care they're very much are when it comes down to it in daily life for example you can't guarantee that a ramp is going to appear outside every door way or that there are elevators in every metro station or or that there's a school nearby your home if you have a child that needs help with learning disabilities so it's one thing for laws to be on the books it's another one for them to be implemented throughout the member state i mean down to every little village and there's a lot of work to do on that but print perhaps even slower to change is the mindset helena dolly said today that one out of 2 people with disabilities feels discriminated against their day or how 50 percent of them live in poverty and there are twice as likely to leave school early so there are a lot of challenges faced by them and i think you'll be a bit shocked to hear some of the things that i heard from a german green european parliamentarian country in london 7 who let me tag along on

part of her work day at the european parliament. someone like you can't do that queen mum in seguin was told as a teenager who dreams of being a t.v. reporter nobody would like to see a person with the disability in front of the camera no don't even think about it's like flying to the moon instead and was told to be grateful for the offer of an office job in an institution for people with disabilities hidden away from the public. no i don't do that to go i. know when super angry and you will never find a job somewhere else she managed to find one fed up with the last. of options available to people with disabilities lenin's even became a politician and now a member of the european parliament i decided ok what can i do where's the place in society for me and there was no place so i created my own space. if nobody cares

what you are doing you're totally free to do what you want what she wants is equal rights and opportunities sometimes even she can't predict practical obstacles at 1st she couldn't even vote she couldn't push the buttons on the electronic box her mailbox was too hot i said please be aware it would be nice to put my own mail log in the highest box or off. she says she was told the system simply had to go alphabetically langan's you can was one of the driving forces behind the european parliament's 2020 resolution laying out its priorities for the e.u. commission's new disability strategy and access to opportunity of inclusion and participation of basic human rights among lawmakers demand initiatives to improve the rights of people with disabilities in all policy areas to guarantee access to

health care employment transport and housing and to make sure the pen demick doesn't make things worse long and is confident things are slowly moving in the right direction there's an openness. and. so i'm always positive otherwise i couldn't do that job you have to be positive. even though it's a tiny step it's a step. and although it's not the rule she dreamed of as a child katherine long and see ben is in front of the camera and making news. indeed she is and hers is a story terry shared by many i would assume i did some checking today the european parliament has 705 members out of those 705 people from 26 countries she is the only woman with a visible disability that surprises me i expected there to be more work well if you

consider that one in 4 people in the european union and this is true in the united states as well probably worldwide has a disability do the math that means that out of these smaller than 700 lawmakers you'd have well over 150 people with disabilities being represented in the parliament instead country is the only female and there are 2 male lawmakers also with disabilities so that's 3 total clearly they are not represented but when you hear this statistic brant a 2800 study found that literally not one e.u. member state could guarantee the right to vote for people with disabilities 18 of them a blind person can't vote unassisted and in 9 of them you have to write the ballot you have to write on the ballot so if you've got trouble writing you can't vote so when you hear that maybe it's not so surprising that more people with disabilities don't get elected in the united states many of our viewers maybe will remember 990 the american would civil disabilities act became law that was 31 years ago is the

european union lending behind here. well it's a bit behind in legislation if you compare it to the united states but it did have this 1st disability strategy on paper from 2010 however brant even the united nations only passed the convention on the rights of people with disabilities in 2006 so clearly legislation is far behind but as i said and as i learned from cuts in lenin's have been is also the mindset of everyone that needs to change along with the laws to diffuse teri schultz joining us tonight from brussels excellent reporting terry as always thank you thank you. u.s. president joe biden says there will be enough corona virus vaccines to immunize all adults in the country by the end of may that's 2 months earlier than initially forecast many states are now announcing plans to ease restrictions texas is lifting

this is news live from berlin tonight accusations of war crimes in the palestinian territories the international criminal court says it will investigate it is a decision that has been 5 years in the making the court's prosecutor promising a principled nonpartizan approach but israel has denounced the move as political and. also coming up the death toll from the in morris protest wyness as the military steps up its crackdown against pro democracy demonstrators and are they a threat to democracy germany's largest opposition party the far right alternative

for germany is placed under surveillance by the country's domestic intelligence agency d.a.s.d. calls it scandalous others say it's about tone. it's good to have you with us we begin tonight with the palestinians the israelis and accusations of war crimes today the international criminal court opened an investigation into alleged war crimes committed in the palestinian territories since 2014 the probe will target both the israeli military and the palestinian militant group hamas it comes after the i.c.c. ruled last month that it has jurisdiction over territories occupied by israel including the west bank and the gaza strip the palestinian authority has welcomed the investigation israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he. has accused the

court of hypocrisy and anti-semitism. kramer's on the story for us good evening to utah and despite israel's attempts to postpone the decision the prosecutor has announced the opening of an investigation into war crimes what more do we know tonight. well as he said that has been a long process after 5 nearly 5 preliminary investigation and also after this season back in february just last month by a panel of 3 judges who had ruled that indeed the i.c.c. has jurisdiction over the occupied west bank gaza and east jerusalem now and the prosecutor the chief prosecutor fatou bensouda had to be fair this matter to the panel of 3 judges back in december 2019 when she concluded that they are grounds to open

a formal investigation against israeli and palestinian individuals for. war crimes but she had to refer to the panel of state history talk just to get their opinion on the jurisdiction now we are expecting. this investigation to deal with everything that happened after 2014 because of war between israel and hamas then the issue of construction of settlements in the occupied territory as well as possibly the actions of the israeli military against palestinian protesters along the gaza friends during 2018 so today fatou bensouda in her statement also said that she will decide on the priorities in the coming weeks also given you know the challenges by the pandemic and also the workload of the office of the prosecutor. the list of possibilities is very long we know that the israeli

prime minister benjamin netanyahu he has called this decision anti-semitic and absurd what can he do now. well that is a good question of course israel also has no period of time to answer to this opening off the investigation but the reaction by the israeli prime minister doesn't come as a surprise already last month he had called that decision by the judges by the i.c.c. as an to semitic this has been a long hard few by israel that the court is overstepping its monday and that this is a highly politicized politicized issue and that the court actually doesn't have jurisdiction now we also have to mention this is kind of the consensus in israeli politics we heard from several other political leaders tonight being highly critical of this decision by the i.c.c. not by all parties but by most i have to mention that because we are also in the

middle of an election campaign there are elections in 3 weeks and some of his political rivals will certainly use this against mr netanyahu because it happened on his watch but again this is a decision that will go beyond party politics and beyond this election this will keep israeli politics busy for years to come so on the palestinian side of course this decision was warmly welcomed you had a statement from the foreign ministry saying that this will lead to accountability and justice and you have to say the palestinians have been working very diligently on this issue to internationalize to go and join international organizations and so they hope that some somehow is over how to count of the 4 was it does he end this conflict. a day of violence in me and more has left more people dead the un special envoy on myanmar said 30 people were killed in the latest series of crackdowns on

meeting to debate extending the country's current coronavirus lockdown to the end of march most nonessential shops have been closed since mid december while bars and restaurants shut their doors a month earlier it's possible some restrictions could be relaxed in areas where infection rates are relatively low. germany's domestic intelligence agency has placed the country's largest opposition party the far right of turnitin for germany under surveillance the federal office for the protection of the constitution plans to monitor the party because of suspicions that its extremist positions could violate the country's constitution the steve says the move is politically motivated it comes in the run up to germany's federal elections this coming september. the right wing populist e.f.t. flushed major triumph in 2017 when it entered the jam in parliament becoming the largest opposition party ever since the f.t.

has offended relishing in islamophobia racism and the glorification of germany's past. friends and the nazis are just abets of bird poop and are 1000 year history. some e.f.t. members openly support the xenophobic movement. among them extreme right wing up. he's the party's loaded and most aggressive anti immigrant rabble rosa and is and for this nation except that the children and youth in their own country regard school as a nightmare because they are bullied beaten and tom mentored there by migrant much . funded the parties in town to group the wing which chairman security authority flagged as rightwing extremist in response to wing was dissolved however its leader and supporters remain active in the party but no gemini's

intelligence service says the entire party is under surveillance for centuries scientists have tried and failed. to wife now genealogy website has brought us perhaps one step closer that uses so-called deep fake technology to allow users to animate their dead ancestors it's called deep mist algae and it's eliciting deep emotions not least of all from our very own army and of who joins me now good evening to you i mean this is a fascinating story and so what exactly are we looking at here. was he said this is being called. a kind of deep fake they use fake technology for benevolent purposes now we might have heard of the fake technology in the context of fake news taking somebody who actually exists and putting words in their mouth but this is being used for nostalgic purposes so it's using machine learning to recreate

faces from images that go beyond what a human is capable of a human animator so it's really a new technology not just an old one done better i think for me the most shocking is when i see somebody's historical figure like frederick douglas for example he was actually one of the most photographed human beings in the 1900 century and we've seen photographs of him over and over if you're american you see the same few photographs but he always seems stern and fixed and if you see his face moving he becomes a real human being he almost looks like somebody that you could just have a conversation with the same goes for queen victoria who's famous for looking very stern in her official portrait and when i see her moving she looks younger she looks more human and she doesn't look like this mythical figure she looks like just a normal person. it's almost as if she were on the netflix series the crown a little bit there really brings them to life tell us about the company my heritage

that is behind what we're seeing here how are they trying to sell this to people. well they're trying to sell it as a something that people can use for nostalgic purposes as the name says so people that want their ancestors to be brought back to life so to say or people who lost loved ones and don't necessarily have video recordings of them so i think this example shows that perfectly this is tanya coking or she died in 2017 of cancer and we spoke to her daughter who actually posted this on line and her daughter said that because her mother passed away before she got a chance to say goodbye this when she animated her mother's face this deeply affected her she felt like she could almost be there with her and say goodbye to her again but what she told us is that she wanted to reach out to us because she said that in media report is often described as creepy but for someone who's lost her mother and gets to see her again she said this was a beautiful thing so i think if you're looking at this from the outside you might

say oh that's creepy but for some people this can really deeply affect them yeah it certainly does have good uses there that are possible i mean yes it is always i mean excellent reporting thank you finally the 75 year old american country singer dolly parton has received a 1st dose of the coronavirus vaccine and used the occasion to encourage others to do the same. then see that scene and then see. the please don't hesitate. after seeing that scene then see what she did in that to. right stolley dolly was given the mcgurn a vaccine which she helped to develop with a donation of $1000000.00 in april of last year her message don't be a chicken squat get out there and get your shot. wise words they ferguson is a hoax with business news i'm point guard for all of us your brilliant thanks for

the company. i'm skilled at the work that's hard and in the end this is a me you're not a lot of the year and more we will send you back. are you familiar with this. in the smugglers with violence and. what's your story. 'd 'd on what numbers of women especially of victims of violence. take part and send us

your story we are trying in all weathers to understand this new culture. another visitor another you want to become a citizen. in for migrants your platform for awhile information. and your internet banking act to get more privacy google said it will no longer allies multi website on tracking our live service that well our correspondent what this means for the advertising industry. also coming up as a pandemic for teacake then in germany some businesses are hoping the availability of home test might support our president to be open and the economy. army. and south africa tourism industry has been on a wild ride the focus now is on recovery. this is the end

of the event ferguson welcome to the program. google says it is facing and tracking across multiple websites and will not develop new ways to monitor individuals on the internet the move comes amid rising privacy concerns and declining public trust in tech companies you know it was made in a blog post by the company's director of product management david 10 k. critics point out that google will continue to track users of its own services and maintain decision will actually strengthen the company's dominance in the advertising industry. that's trying to get to the bottom of this story with the help of our financial correspondent kata. and now i have a question what congress concrete the is going to change for you and me when we buy the internet. now ok i mean in general what it means that

we won't see targeting individuals as much anymore i guess you might also know the feeling i have the experience let's say when i for example googled for. it for a trip to chile for a travel guide i got bombarded with all kinds of offers on other websites with flights to chile with similar tales and she was rental car since she learned julie that went on for months even long after i came back from my trip in times when that was still easily possible to go global travel so this is just one example and it might not be as easy anymore for advertisers in the future so to really target me as and if you're vidual what still will happen is we are at that doesn't mean that there won't be any targeting at all it will be done in groups but that individual targeting that will probably end and the whole plan is to stop that kind of
