board is wrong and that's why they're saying and for example one of the members of the board the former danish prime minister helle a turning schmidt told journalists earlier the oversight board is clearly telling facebook that they can't just invent new underwritten rules when it suits them so who is this this oversight board with where they come from what are they do but it's a board that was. sort of like. brought to life a year ago by facebook it's funded by facebook it's 20 technology experts from around the world it includes former politicians it includes journalists a lot of lawyers academics and it's funded by facebook but the idea for it is to be independent and to assess you know very prominent cases of content moderation right so the board sends a decision back to facebook says yes you can do it with a new rules but you have to put a time limit on it facebook then comes back and says ok we'll put this time limit
5:04 pm
on is that then the end of it all does donald trump get to say no i still object well i don't think donald trump really has a say in that the question is going to be what is facebook going to decide in 6 months from now because that is sort of the recommendation that the board gave to facebook the decision to uphold the ban is binding but. the recommendation to look into this again and reassess it in 6 months is non-binding so we will have to see what facebook is going to do but facebook will have to make a decision but then the next 6 months what to do about donald trump's account i don't understand. what is known by you said the facebook of the bow to send this back to facebook and said i made a non-binding ruling that you have to get back to us in 6 months so if a school doesn't get back to them in 6 months or the non-binding ruling then who has what to say about what that is a very good question you know there's nobody to enforce this and so what it doesn't have to get back in 6 months no it doesn't have to go. back but then this whole
5:05 pm
sort of like idea of an facebook oversight board which is supposed to be something like a supreme court of facebook if you will you know it would be sort of like well it's going to be put to a test now and knows for sure there is a think there are thousands hundreds plenty of social media sites out there so why is this decision by facebook or their board significant well it is significant because atheist book is still the largest social media platform in the world plus facebook owns instagram so in donald trump's case we're talking about almost 60000000 followers that he can communicate directly with and who knows you know donald trump might you know decide to run again for office at some point and it's going to be a very decisive question whether he will have those channels to communicate with his followers ok to talk with you thank you for that chief technology correspondent kyung delco for. now to india where kovi deaths have surged to out of a wreck or daily highly 3800 as the burden on the country's health care sector

with directors for the government to take an immediate action while the foreign aid has been coming in there are reports that much of it is still stuck at the airport tied up in bureaucratic hurdles the expansion of the vaccine drive to everyone about the age of 18 could be a real hope but several states are struggling to ramp up their stops registrations for the drive can only be done online which means many who are not internet savvy can be left behind even for those who are hunting for slots and trying to quickly book those that do become available is being described as a successful lottery not the best way to deal with a pandemic. when your child rape in delhi germany has sent a 2nd shipment of emergency aid to india the 1st included 120 ventilators and madsen's this time it is also sending a group of health experts to train members of the indian red cross germany's one of a number of countries including the u.s. and taiwan to send i mean. it's
5:10 pm
a heavy load for this military transport machine but what's in these containers this desperately need it a giant oxygen generator to help a covert 1000 hospital in delhi. with the conditions the generator can produce up to 400000 liters of oxygen a day of lying around 28 patients in intensive care so. it's the 2nd batch of emergency help from germany and one of many organized by the international community for the soldiers involved it's more than a routine flight. in this case because it's a long flight and we have transporting cargo that has never been flown this way before careful preparation and planning was required but as this is about saving lives you can sense an increased motivation from everyone on. the plane
5:11 pm
is on its way to delhi a team of german medical experts is waiting to install the oxygen generator really for patients who urgently needed help. take a look at some other developments in the pandemic the world health organization is planning to set up a global pandemic hub in the german capital berlin to gather and analyze data on emerging pandemic threats canada has authorized the use of the boneset pfizer vaccine on children from 12 years old and upwards it's the 1st country in the world to approve a vaccine for children and britain's planning to offer a 3rd vaccine job to everyone over 15 in the autumn in the hope of eradicating the virus in the u k. the german government says it's setting in new more ambitious reduction targets for its c o 2 emissions the announcement comes a week after a landmark court ruling that the current climate change legislation is insufficient the new plan is to cut emissions by 65 percent compared to 1990 levels and this is
5:12 pm
to be done by 2030 as well as being nearly carbon neutral by $2845.00 that's 5 years ahead of the original target climate is one of the leading issues ahead of september's general election with the greens i had in several polls. that's a close look at this announcement with the d.w.p. chief political editor mackay that could for the welcome michela so this change in german climate policy this is all about this court ruling. it was triggered by the school learning but it's not all about us it's because although this was quite clearly illegal dressing down of the previous plans to phase out carbon emissions by 2050 and basically moving in line with the green deal at the same time it was a departing sought for the election campaign where the greens are doing pretty well
5:13 pm
in the polls and what climate through that ruling was suddenly and boosted to near the top of the list of the issues that everybody's talking about so the government is very keen the governing coalition very keen to demonstrate that it can improve that's what it's doing right now and it's basically cutting 5 years off that target of reaching a c.e.o. to neutrality here to 2045 but the big question mark is how they will do this in detail which department which part of an industry also private consumers will have to limit themselves in which areas and we expect much of those details to be shifted past that 26 of september when we expect general elections here and me ok so a cynical person would look at and say well this is this is a flag saying here are green credentials the green party seems to be doing so
5:14 pm
well so is this a green issues going to be a big part of this september's election. well stopping souls of being cynical it's just part of the political game the greens were the 1st parties to actually have their election manifesto ready they have their climate targets ready and it so happens that now the other parties particularly those in government angela merkel c.d.u. but also the social democrats and now being pushed by the courts to be a lot tighter on the climate goals and a lot more specific so yes this is clearly electioneering this is an election campaign getting into full swing already while in government yet at the same time asking the question how much of a pace maker germany will actually prove to be when once its new government is in place the presumption is often that going green is expensive and of course the german economy is already suffering because of the pandemic is business likely to
5:15 pm
react to these announcements well they won't love it but depends on which business areas you speak to if you speak to big industry we saw none other than the conservative candidate for tonsil describe a coal power plant in germany as a contribution to basically the climate because they are cleaner here than elsewhere and there's a lot of vested interests here and the big question now also the conservatives recognize will be whether it's possible to bring economic interests together with those interests in of climate neutrality of action tackling the climate that is an issue that goes beyond me but that is now being seen as a central issue for every party to tackle in this election campaign germany used to be held up as a role model on climate change stations. not never really quite
5:16 pm
lived up to it it's partly thanks to the pandemic that actually germany managed to reach its climate goals and the bigger question will be quite clearly if the polls anything to go by the greens will be part of the next government and then the big question will be whether the actually becomes a driver within the e.u. again so a lot hinges on that election day here in germany chief political adviser because thank you. all right some of the stories making news around the world starting in india where their entire delegation so they get g 7 foreign ministers meeting in london itself isolating after 2 members tested positive for corona virus the group of leading nations is discussing the distribution of vaccines as they and 3 days of talks india's foreign minister will attend via video link israel's president reuben rivlin has met with 2 opposition leaders as he holds consultation on who should be asked to form a new government prime minister binyamin netanyahu failed to assemble

a coalition ahead of an overnight deadline of internal matter of from a us police of a former us police officer convicted of murdering george floyd is asking for a new trial that it show vince lawyers are actually misconduct by prosecutors and by jurors chauvin was found guilty of 2nd degree murder and manslaughter last month in what was seen as a milestone rolling. in a group of activists has filed a criminal complaint in germany against president alexander lukashenko and members of his regime for crimes against humanity they say they have documented move 100 examples of violence and systematic torture the alleged abuses happens during the government crackdown in protest against discredited elections which the president claimed to have won last year the cases being brought in germany on the principle of your universal jurisdiction which allows countries to prosecute crimes against humanity wherever they are committed. or rowland croucher as one of the lawyers who
5:18 pm
has filed that complaint welcome to the w. so what do you want to charge alexander lukashenko with. well we would like to charge him with crimes against humanity especially with torture and abuse of political and crimes well. we say police repression and that's basically something that's going on the middle of europe and therefore we activated a group of lawyers and opted for pressing charges against him and what do your clients say happened to them. there is a variety of clients but we have one main issue with that is it busa of torture and abuse of force against peaceful demonstrators in the streets of minsk breast and other cities in benefits so even absolutely innocent bystanders
5:19 pm
and people just watching their walking down doing the groceries were tortured by police put in jail and released after 2 weeks and threatened with violence against their families or themselves so these alleged crimes were said to have taken place in bad a ruse of this case can be prosecuted anywhere in the world so why is it being brought in germany. well a brief look into history tells us that the nazi crimes after 45 were and prosecuted in a very swift way the german well judicial system is a very efficient one but it has taken almost 75 years to prosecute crimes that were committed back then and we have the last trials in 2019 against old nazi members and one lesson we have learned as lawyers is that crimes against humanity should not be permitted and should be prosecuted swiftly and that's why we said as long as
5:20 pm
the judicial system in belarus is not doing anything for the victims we should as lawyers of germany opt for trying to initiate something here in germany all right i don't quite understand but perhaps i've misunderstood you you've said that clearly you can do this in better us but you also said that the german system was slow so i'll repeat my question if it's so slow why bring these cases here in germany. well i wasn't clear enough the german system is swift it is fast and we have high standards of protecting human rights in germany and currently in belarus there is no efficient protection against violence from state side from official bodies from the police the courts or simply dismissing the case this or letting them stay for a long time and that's what i meant with we had an experience of through long known proceedings and we want that justice is taking its course here thank you so much
