where does the world stand today. 10 years after the arab spring. a rebellion starts june 7th on d w. this is g w news live from berlin tonight no facebook for at least for now basements oversight board today appealed the decision to ban the former us president for inciting the riot at the u.s. capitol the board says the ban was justified that making the banned indefinite was not also coming up tonight india sees another record rise in cope with 19 deaths as

overcrowded hospitals turn sick people away we'll hear from some of the volunteers fighting to fill the gaps and to save lots of germany's next shipment of medical aid takes off for india this time on board both equipment and experts plus some of the world's wealthiest nations discussing how to distribute vaccines more fairly sharing shots with poor nations to 50 human rights and combating disc information to some of the topics at the 1st face to face meeting of g 7 foreign ministers in 2 years we'll have the details. of the united states into all of you around the world welcome facebook's oversight board today upheld the social media giants decision. in to suspend donald trump's

account but it said it was wrong to ban the former president indefinitely facebook has previously argued that trump was banned for violating rules against praising violence and that's after years of making exceptions because his comments were deemed newsworthy now the oversight board has given the company 6 months to determine what it calls a proportionate response thumbs up but not for donald trump facebook's quasi independent oversight board up held the former u.s. presidents ban for now it said facebook's decision to suspend trump's account was justified due to his actions but it also said an indefinite long term ban was unreasonable we are giving facebook 6 months to conduct this review it must either restore mr trump's account by adding that the period of suspension has met its purpose make the suspension permanent or suspend the account for it determine

a period of time facebook ban trump at the beginning of january as did twitter and you tube after trump supporters stormed the u.s. capitol building. the risks of allowing the then president to continue were simply too great said facebook head mark zuckerberg the oversight board was originally created to examine such decisions trump has already established his own way to communicate with his supporters with his new website his followers can then of course share his messages via the major social media networks. all right now we want to bring in an internet law expert dr mightiest kettleman from the likeness institute for media in hamburg professors good to have you on the program i want to ask you don't trump responded to his ongoing suspension from facebook by saying that free speech had been taking away from him is that what has happened.

no obviously not nobody's owed a platform to spew hate you have a right that government doesn't send their you or take away your free speech but not against platforms platforms a certain due to an international rights law that's true but they have much more leeway to decide what speech is dangerous and how to act if they think that speech is the enjoy the oversight board said that the decision to ban donald trump was justified should facebook have the power to decide what is or is it harmful to society. definitely not alone that's one of the reasons why the oversight board is important at the same time even the oversight board alone shouldn't take this decision we need to engage in a societal dialogue on those topics and this is what's happening section to 30 is

being debated in the u.s. the famous internet law europe the digital services act calls for more transparency for internal remedies against the nation's for better risk assessments by companies we need to reengage those questions in a societal dialogue this oversight board is an advisory board and its decisions are not binding on facebook are you concerned that mark zuckerberg will use this board as window dressing to make the world think that facebook is doing something that it's not. i don't see that as a danger it might have started out as a fig leaf but it has a really turned into a powerful force for good of the last 10 cases a 7 have led to overturning of facebook decisions and the recommendations that the board gives to facebook are really powerful in this case for instance the this book is being told you need to be better in communicating when you close accounts you

need to find out yourself what you did in order. to amplify the voices of those that wanted to destroy democracy in the u.s. the oversight board works it's a powerful force and it would be harnessed for a better online speech environment when you consider the power that these social media giants have is it correct to say that lawmakers in legislation are still trying to catch up with big tech that as it stands right now big tech and people like mark zuckerberg they have more power than some national governments do. oh absolutely governments haven't done a good job at all over the last decade to save us from digital capitalism we definitely need governments to do more and in a way perhaps we need to be thankful for what trump did over the last years because

he force platforms to really think deeply about what speech is dangerous and he forced states to consider how better to save our rights online and ensure social cohesion also against the platforms that provide online spaces facebook now has 6 months to come back with a more refined explanation for instance it is possible that donald trump could be back on facebook before the end of this year do you think that's going to happen i don't think that is going to happen i think facebook will go the way of twitter and will make the band indefinitely. ok mathias could have been we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you thank you. we have some breaking news coming in a major boost for getting more people vaccinated u.s. president joe biden's administration announcing support for a global waiver on patent protections for covert 19 vaccines the administration

says that it will negotiate terms with the w. cio in a statement the u.s. trade representative catherine tie said intellectual property rights for businesses are important but the extraordinary circumstances of the pandemic call for extraordinary measures and we will bring you more information as it comes in are going to stay with the pandemic india's ferocious 2nd wave of infections continues to batter its health care system and they persisted shortage of oxygen is making matters worse in the capital many hospitals are taking to twitter to seek help in turning away patients due to a lack of supplies for weeks now volunteer groups have been stepping in to care for people who cannot find help elsewhere d.w. reporters initially yard's wall and. have met ordinary indians putting their lives on the line to save other people. the nice sent home and the last to leave right.

under the lord in front of a sikh temple 50 kilometers from home. his son asked to quit one of my eyes. and has also developed a 6 year old on the bench. he owned gently needs to be hospitalized but his father says even this week shipped enjoyment is a blessing. but these people are working 24 is providing oxygen cylinders otherwise it's very difficult to get oxygen out of to get a bed in a hospital and this morning i visited 15 or 20 hospitals to look for the best for him and there isn't a single that all of them refused them in. fact enough to the. day has been the scene of. you're shortage of medical oxygen. this isn't life saving nostrils not a free oxygen service run by concert a hell of a sikh. one until this year considered the just going to be secondary to the

central tenet of service in sick kids and several of them have already been infected. but don't hear tell us the i want to feed this see they must do something to save these snakes. gergen david and i go home to see football was it the time i took my bike has to have a stop or is the main support we are getting from that is allowing us to see if so many lights and this is a time that people are even afraid to have their own infected religiously. every few minutes. of going to. the group has 9 trucks noting nearby appliance person and. the oxygen here is provided for free as patients continue although we rush to kill many more spirit than the need has thought taking in your patients because of the often cry for their putting out f.o.'s messages on twitter begging for help as they only have are some basic minutes of oxygen left.

this hospital is one of the previous night was a close shave after reading for hours that oxygen blunts diving authorities on twitter and even reducing that student loans to subsistence level is to make it last longer the hospital bought supplies in the nick of time. doctors here tell us that supplies that used to last them 2 weeks now evaporate in 36 silence they cannot predict if the next round will reach them on time joining of the patients followed just to good reasons is heartbreaking for doctors when read a few words many of these basins hopelessly pleading in this profession because it is because they wanted to help other people through their sickness and in this. if they're not. bad by itself is a big thing and it was. all an affair if you do get lucky

back at the oxygen simha has finally managed to arrange a bed for his son immediately his cylinder is dual to woods and out of the chute. to leap into the oxygen crisis hero. every leave good threat is a gift. germany has sent a 2nd shipment of emergency medical aid to india the 1st load included 120 ventilators and medicines this time berlin is also sending a group of health experts to train members of the indian red cross germany as one of a number of countries including the us and taiwan which are sending aid to india. it's a heavy load for this military transport machine but what's in these containers this desperately need it at giant oxygen generator to help a covert 1000 hospital in delhi. with the ideal

conditions the generator can produce up to 400000 a little stuff oxygen a day that washed off supplying around 28 patients in intensive care so it often swung into it in. it's the 2nd batch of the mentions the help from germany and one of many organized by the international community for the soldiers involved it's more than a routine flight 5 was 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 a bit quiet but as this is about saving life you can sense an increased motivation from everyone. but tyler. the plane is on its way to delhi a team of german medical experts is waiting to install the oxygen generator relief for patients who need its help. and here are other developments in the

pandemic the world health organization has announced plans to open a global pandemic hub here in berlin the hub will gather and the winds data on emerging pandemic threats canada has authorized use of the biotech fines or vaccine on children as young as 12 it's the 1st country in the world to approve a vaccine for children britain is planning to offer a 3rd vaccine jab to everyone over the age of 50 this coming fall in the hope of eradicating the virus in the u.k. . well here are some more stories now that are making headlines around the world at 29 nigerian students abducted almost 2 months ago have been released they were kidnapped from a forestry college in kaduna state on the 11th of march originally more were taken but some were released the remaining students are reportedly now with police and on their way back to sit in south africa's governing a.n.c. party has suspended its secretary general who is facing corruption charges the move

besides the corona virus pandemic they perceive china and russia to be the world's biggest current threat it's ready for more now let's cross to our very own big muscle she's on the story for us in london good evening to you bear get the 1st face to face meeting for the foreign ministers in over 2 years how much did coded 19 disrupt this meeting. well definitely as she has shaped this meeting friends for a start the delegations were much smaller than they were usual and then the usual g 7 meeting and we have heard from the german foreign minister heikal must speak to some of us journalists at the side of the meeting that there were very strict rules when it came to cool very strict hygiene rules and that even during dinner he had to sit basically behind plexiglass and he said it was brilliant but then again it's better and we on the zoom and also that it is really important important for 4

leaders for world leaders to actually get together to get together physically because some of the most important decisions and debates they are you know by the water cooler and not on as you meetings say definitely a different meeting today than normally do i mean it's important to be able to talk face to face and what was top of the agenda. well mostly important for the g 7 countries was to come together with other like minded democracies is how they were phrasing it mostly from the india pacific region and they took mostly about really about geopolitics and you mentioned russia china there was a ukraine. to try and form a coherent policy towards threats and towards threats in this with these countries also covert of course was enough

a big topic and that's how to get more vaccinations to regions that don't have access to them and that of course is also of strategic importance. on the story for us in london tonight speargun thank you. and to help us put all of this into context i'm joined now by our chief international editor richard walker good evening to you richard the global vaccination rolled out it was high on the agenda during this meeting a g 7 foreign ministers are we any closer to a solution of how this will happen and how it's going to be financed. you know brett i mean it is becoming more and more of a glaring issue isn't it as the west gets more and more advanced in this vaccination campaigns to keep britain in the united states and israel but also if europe really pushing ahead the gap between the west and the global south why broadly is becoming a really kind of glaring chasm and we see that for example of many in india the

current epicenter of the crime demick. around 10 percent of the population had a single dose says so often and india is a relatively in a relatively good position regarding vaccinations compared to many other countries in the global south given its pharmaceutical industry so there was talk at the g. 7 the pharmacies did talk about it and you can see in the communique the document at the end of that meeting they talk for instance that these kovacs this in the c.i.s. the international mechanism for distributing vaccines to countries in need talking about supporting that financially but if we look at this kovacs facility the number of doses that are being distributed so far we're talking about the 10s of millions when of course we need millions around the world to make a real difference said there's going to be a very long road ahead to that was nothing release some substantial in the communique about you know numbers for instance extra pounding we know the china's

increasing influence around the world that was high on the agenda do we know richard is there a common g.'s solving approach in how to deal with china. yeah china absolutely and huge issue and if you look in the create a there is a lot about china in there and a lot of words of concern about all sorts of issues of action rights and jangan to bet about the assault on on freedoms in hong kong on issues of security in the south in east china sea on trade and investment projects is a hugely long list of things and these are l.a. area is way you know there was enough common understanding to to put that all of that into communique but how deep the unity on china goes is not really yet a sure thing if we take germany for instance you know angle americal for the last

15 years in paris she's been a real pusher of engagement with china and just last week her entire government held governmental consultations with the chinese government that this was reviving a practice that had gone back many years and had been interrupted by that endemic last year at that meeting came up with all sorts of projects of new plans for corporation between germany and china and yet at the same time on the european level it looks like the biggest attempt to cooperate with china which is a big investment deal which was in the whole sort initiative of angular metal at the end of last year that could be about to come on done so we're in a state of flux here we have a glib back will soon leaving office later this year so a lot of uncertainty about whether the west really is unified on whether to engage more with china or whether to push back against it harder do that when his chief international editor richard walker can senior richard thank you. well the german

government has announced plans for more ambitious cuts to carbon emissions changes following a constitutional court ruling from last week that said the country's current climate laws are insufficient but many are asking whether the new goals are a real commitment to more action or an effort to gain more votes ahead of upcoming national elections. the climate change activists probably surprised themselves with what they achieved young environmentalists have long accused the government of not taking action fast enough on climate change and last week germany's highest court ruled they were right now politicians have to respond young people remind us that we have to slow rather than too quick we need to take action more quickly because of rules that according to our basic law are not just the freedoms of those living today has to be protected but also the freedom of future generations. you got to know that's the one thing the decision to speed up germany's transition to renewable energy has

a lot to do with the upcoming national elections chancellor merkel's coalition government wants to finalize plans on how to move away from fossil fuels faster by next week finance minister or life choice said the cabinet was unanimous about the changes we have had declared we reassessing our climate targets for 2030 we have to achieve more early on and we are formulating a plan to reduce emissions by 65 percent we want to develop an intermediate plan to reduce emissions by 88 percent by 2040 and much quicker than previously discussed we want germany to become carbon neutral by 2045. 1000 from one for. with the new goals both coalition partners the conservatives and the social democrats showing they don't want the green party to dominate the climate change debate is specially in an election year

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 that they have documented more than $100.00 examples of violence and systematic torture the alleged abuses happened during the government crackdown on protests against last year's discredited elections which the president claims to have won the case is being brought here in germany on the principle of universal jurisdiction which allows countries to prosecute crimes against humanity wherever they were committed. her name was sophie show and she was born 100 years ago this week she became one of germany's most famous anti nazi resistance fighters in the 1940 s. and at the age of 22 she was arrested and executed by the nazi regime now a social media project is bringing her back to why for

a younger generation the project explores what would the last months of sophie scholz life have looked like on instagram it's a period film shoot with a twist it's the 1940 s. but selfie show has an instagram account and true to the social media platforms format she mostly films a self. just a face to her main 1980 s. and i'm about to get on the train sophie hurry up the train won't make. my sister she's never been late in a life. the resistance activist shares her political and private thoughts with her followers. loud of course safety is our hero resistance fighter but she's also a normal woman with many different facets and with insecurities. the instagram series is a patchwork of clips in different media

a selfie video of sophie's birthday party animation sometimes photographs they all show events that happened on specific days 79 years ago. but seen one at a given topic we chronicle every day for 10 months. that's given us the opportunity to tell our audience a lot about safety shell if you would. at 1st when all the limelight is managed in a movie like the instagram posts and when sophie is arrested for distributing anti nazi leaflets the moment when the resistance leader would have had her smartphone taken from. all right now it would not to count the 9 baby that was the surprise a 25 year old woman from mali received after giving birth in casablanca on wednesday the woman had been sent to morocco for special prenatal care after she was told that she was carrying 7 babies the 2 additional ones came as an added

surprise doctors say that all 9 children and their mother are doing well to noids the mother resting while she can. you're watching the news here's a reminder of our top story facebook's oversight board has up helped the company's suspension of double trying to kill the former u.s. president was banned from the social media platform 4 months ago for inciting the violence that led to the deadly january 6th riot at the u.s. camp. after a short break i'll be back to take you through the day tonight facebook kicked out donald trump he won't be returning any time soon we'll explain right after this.
