pornography. parents often have no idea what their children are looking at on their phones under the it's no big deal what harm can a picture do this but also to some it may seem harmless until the police start investigating. what's it going to 11 year old to be looking at this stuff through a wave of refugees has reached your phone allow them to stay home be smart and send them on their way hey it's funny now but one before long time i had thought. it. would. be. we've come to a school in the town of hotton in lower saxony there are 800 students here in grades 510 they take courses in math physics and the. and language they also learn
10:32 pm
how to use digital devices. the school's principal miller also wants to find out what the kids are looking at on their phones. morning that's come out at work all right. morning working with your i pad excellent i pads. today we'll meet some 9th graders to talk about illegal images and videos that have been passed around here doc i might have but i feel sorry to interrupt you this you know that we have a problem with people sending images that are pornographic and offensive mention the car we've also seen nazi images they advised you seen the sort of material. you wanted to say something you can just add if you don't have to shoot my sister's in the 7th grade here and she says that the situation with whatsapp is really bad
10:33 pm
as it has its limits. but what do you mean can you explain yeah well. who knocked images of naked people will not graffiti right for 7th graders i think that's really inappropriate. but the problem is not limited to pornography. some kids are passing around violent videos. i'll find i know probably i've heard that there are quite a few videos that show graphic violence sometimes involving animals who seem these stores would and there was one where some guys would beating up a dog was shocked and i only watched the 1st top of it then i turned it off because it was just disgusting i watched racialists who it was fun to on. this is what i'm talking about c.n.n. . i mean. many of the students are familiar with this video.
10:34 pm
i think. it's been watched a total of nearly $9000000.00 times some of the kids were sent a link to it and i don't. even. know if we asked them how they felt about it she was quiet but 'd i almost cried like i have 2 cats and i just hate to see animals being abused as. the principal allowed us to film at her school because she wants to call attention to the problem of potentially harmful content on students' cellphones. and it's a topic that's not widely discussed right now. on the. problem for why do people send these pictures because i used to maybe to get clicks and i like on instagram to open up some cloth on the governor i don't see why anyone would be dumb enough to send something like that as well as you know. these sorts of
10:35 pm
stickers are especially popular among students you can even design them yourself. but some of these images contain material that's illegal in germany. one student allowed us to look at the content on his phone he says he has nothing to hide one image caught us by surprise. and then his hand hit a hit so sticker. ok i don't know where that came from. adam if it was a hitler s.s. game or 6000000 killed it's me you on and kill it's. the 2 i like cleaner that's a picture of a black child who's been placed on the boys let us a clue although i don't look at that stuff i mean. and here's a message that's pretty rude so that. the student says he sometimes gets 200
10:36 pm
messages a day kicks off i get so many of these from going to i don't like it because i don't know what's on my phone was on the sofa and i tried to delete as much as i can to mission. and i'm still these images bother you. as much tell mom i'm from they did at 1st but then you get used to it and that's pretty bad too that's mentioned on with this he received his 1st disturbing sticker when he was 12 years old. this is an exhibit of the lives of young people during the nazi era and today some german students are exchanging nazi images how can we explain this. zelda miller often asked herself that same question schools are simply not prepared to deal with the fact that students are sharing images of animal cruelty violence
10:37 pm
porn and adolf hitler. he defines it as part of what we feel and a lot of people feel helpless and when they also give me what should be done i often don't have all incentives will benefit us all but we need to help those students cope with this situation. we've now come to hostile to meet with an attorney who warns students about the dangers of digital communication she holds online seminars to explain what is acceptable on the internet and what isn't. schools from all over germany have asked for her advice 10 schools are taking part in today's seminar. so does the quantity list or not honest we have schools from several states today including north rhine-westphalia honest all german states but not at once you know exactly what i've been through but i celebrate if we had all the states taking part of the same time. but usually it's just 4 or 5 from.
10:38 pm
back. national problem yes i'll schools yes no exceptions. some young people might post an objectionable image because they think it's funny but it may also be illegal. yeah i'm sure would want in your good morning from rostock. we have in 10 classes with us and then today i'm going to talk about illegal internet content that you may find on your phone abused or you no doubt familiar with these images. hitler thought of hitler was responsible for the deaths of millions of people the caption says i like you i'll guess you lost honestly just don't share these images rises if you if you many people are offended by such things but they don't speak up and our demise is agony i guess that you need to say clearly that you don't like lots of us the scenes of
10:39 pm
us thousands of us and if you feel uncomfortable just leave the chat group that holds the hopi sticker and then there are means like the also a lack of it harden cards. that pictures of swastikas and hitler salute you for this but i am the same goes for images of nazi party badge as a staff even if it's just a cartoon character giving a nazi salute since i can't understand why people share this material it's not cool it's not funny it's illegal if those exist nish queer garnished as it's reached after. but only those who are 14 years of age or older are subject to prosecution for posting illegal content. still young p. . well to understand clearly what sorts of material are unacceptable. as we have to explain the legal aspect to that if. the law says that we can steal or run a red light young people know that. but this technology was created by adults for
10:40 pm
adults and we have to make sure that the students are aware of the risks and. the stockman has kept a file of all the images that she's accumulated over the years. some of this material is disgusting but not all of it is illegal. to continue would also. and it says kick the jew out of the group in the f.b.i. you see this sort of thing more and more often so people get used to me today and the standards of social inhibition affording. and that's a dangerous trend right down to just what. the pattern is always the same this content is presented as a joke in order to lighten its tone without changing it. another image about the extermination of the jews. cooking with adolf step one turn on the gas.
10:41 pm
i just saw this material is racist and must such an astute find it promotes hatred and it's anticipated to ship craters share this stuff with us and so do the older kids. they have no concerns at all about posting this with him in the most. there is another disturbing development at the heart and school and image involving child pornography is being passed around. one student gets the image and sends it to another. before long hundreds of young people have seen it. the image is appalling we're not going to show it to you. the photograph shows an adult male penetrating a young girl. yeah it just makes your head spin
10:42 pm
as nothing is taboo anymore the soon to be yeah absolutely nothing at all. we talked to some of the students who saw the image on their phone in her school class the picture with a young girl appeared here 1st why did nobody put a stop to it. and. most kids just didn't care. maybe there was shocked when they 1st saw it and you think about it for a minute at the time and then forget about it. that's remarkable you say students didn't. it didn't mean anything to them so it wasn't exactly breaking new not just targets. it didn't mean anything it wasn't breaking news that's horrifying please explain it to me these threats are clear i'll try you think to yourself that's disgusting but you don't spend all day
10:43 pm
thinking about it is good for the image was shocking to people who think about it for 5 minutes send it to your friends and say to them from the shoot on the look this is disgusting we're not she doesn't feel talk about it for a while and then it's all about what this is i'm trying to guess and. some people see so much stuff that they get used to it. the internet separates you a bit from it all and if you saw this in real life i'm going to be upset. and it's really seem to be if i saw 2 people fighting here right now it would have a real impact on me because it would actually be happening right in front of me and i tell my parents. that if i see an image of something well it's just a picture. some people have gotten used to seeing disturbing images it's just a picture. and even those who are shocked by these images. don't speak out. kind i'm sitting in not one of our
10:44 pm
803 students came to me and said this is wrong in others i found that difficult as well on a personal level if my students have a problem like if someone has insulted them or if they've been bullied on the web on the say they always come to me and i help them yes i often say but here we have a picture that obviously portrays criminal activity and no one came to me to report it. when school officials found out about the image they responded immediately several students were ordered to the principal's office and suspended for 10 days the school also notified the police. we've got an idea is how did you all feel about that and. bad. we kept thinking about what happened and how stupid it was just that when it finally sank in the kids were really bummed out. schimmel no one in our class
10:45 pm
laughed any more as if it was a pretty dark mood people were really sad and they were upset too i live on call. and said it was only then that the students understood what actually happened so maybe indeed something sticking 4th of snitched intake if i don't see it so much in their daily behaved like they get along well with each other i talk to 5 year but i also see that they're living in 2 separate worlds. when they use the internet they behave differently 5 eighths of the digital world seems to have its own code of conduct and this really worries me that's how these 2 lives on mixing together in the real world i mean it from the. most crimes involving child pornography are investigated by a special unit of the frankfurt prosecutor's office this unit works closely with the federal police the b.k. . in 2019 the b.k.
10:46 pm
registered almost 4900 cases of children or young people accused of distributing acquiring possessing or producing child pornography. and 2018 the number of such cases was just 1700. we are on our way to me via a prosecutor who works with the cyber crime investigation unit. she's concerned that child pornography is turning up more often on the cell phones of young people this is something on many of us feels like it's this phenomenon has been increasing in this age group for the last 2 or 3 years. we are worried about this trained and we're trying to figure out what's behind it so. in october 29000 the b.k. and the prosecutor's office launched a crackdown on the distribution of child pornography on cell phones.
10:47 pm
and if i got involved. in fields in sex and sponsored. many of the suspects had shared images on social media. also as it is to use a corporate we're not dealing with pedophiles here they had no idea how serious this is. most of the investigations were later called off but some of the younger suspects had to take part in an internet education program. the prosecutor's main goal is to track down those who actually produce pornographic images and post them on the web. where does this stuff come from doesn't it where does it all begin that's a good question and it's difficult to answer because the material spread within specific networks and it's the images are sent to all kinds of different contactless the telecom talk as one of us some of these contacts appear on digital
10:48 pm
. so we have to find a specifically out and then follow but. often the investigation simply leads back to a student's cell phone. as much as it had to want to tell lights into him we know that many young people are just being careless but we take this problem very serious some top for adults the distribution of child pornography is a crime that's punishable by a minimum of 3 months in prison and this is it for this law was created for an important purpose the penalties are severe because this crime is associated with the sexual abuse of children and 6 and most powerful kinda. often the same images appear in a number of different places as for example here in the towns of fadden and also holds in the state of lower saxony all it takes to spread this material is one click on a phone or computer. the local police are investigating one case in particular
10:49 pm
it came to light after a mother discovered child pornography on her child's phone. she reported this to the authorities. the local crime prevention team soon learned that the. image had been shared many times. we found that in several large what's up groups young people often set up these groups and they're huge with a 100 or more people taking part time. or going to and when someone posts material there it can spread quickly. during the investigation police sent a letter to the parents of 2500 children and young people warning against the distribution of illegal content by students and whatsapp groups. the authorities stressed the dangers of sharing material that is pornographic
10:50 pm
promotes extremism or depict violence. as well here and many parents have no idea what their children are doing on the web and a nervous about how to do the right thing we sent this letter to provide parents with some ideas on how they can keep their kids from getting into trouble. a lot of parents don't explain to their children how to use a cell phone responsibly. for going to doesn't work out i'm a father myself so i have to make sure that my children learn all the traffic regulation was before us in the mountain i rode them before its leadership which is the same with cell phones i'd like parents to talk to their kids about how to use a phone properly and warn them about potential risks. the police have adopted a preventative strategy to inform children about the dangers of using the internet
10:51 pm
. he was talking about 10 and 11 year olds and criminal activity so we stress education of a punishment the. police are still investigating 2 local whatsapp users linked to this case. but what is whatsapp itself doing to prevent the spread of objectionable content. the company told us that the sharing of anti-constitutional content and child pornography is unacceptable and that every month the company blocks about $250000.00 accounts and encourages users to report offensive material and once. we return again to the school and happening today the principal will meet with parents to discuss violent videos and illegal images.
10:52 pm
still camilla and her colleagues will show the parents some materials that were taken from students' phones. about $100.00 parents are expected to attend. and there are $800.00 students at the school so the principal was hoping for a bigger turnout. one of the videos will have a huge impact on the audience. to get my number one we want to raise awareness about what's out there we can't ignore this kind of content any longer it's not enough to just put your phone down and start fooling around with social media this material is everywhere. then he doesn't know if you can stand to watch animal cruelty close your eyes. the principal plays a video that shows a man throwing a dog into a pot of boiling water. shocking
10:53 pm
for the parents certainly but almost all of the 9th grade. i have seen this one already. does the handoffs your kids are seeing with us surely this affects them on your comments and no i mean i have some interest research this one shows out of hitler saying greetings to the whatsapp group. on the methodology i thought look at when they were shed 22012144. with only what i know you really don't think our son would share material like that but maybe you should keep an eye on him because you never know. where it's eye opening. if it does meet scary that people nowadays would do things like that but that's how it is so stupid it's only media mistress if you can stop it stop because so you have to deal with it the best you can that's most extreme space you hard to
10:54 pm
upside down these are still ladies and gentlemen it's very important for me to tell you tonight that there is no such thing as the school or the parents or the parents of this or that child again i know. we have to make a decision and will start small yards of it or not i have 100 people here tonight and we're not going to change the world but we can do something about this try to find out what your children are doing that's the 1st step the time to act is right now as that site. the parents had no idea that just a few weeks later things would begin to get even harder by march 2020 germany found itself in the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic people started spending much more time online. right now no one has time to keep track of the content that students are sharing on whatsapp and no one is talking about guidelines for using
10:55 pm
social media responsibly so mischa's no vision definitely that also for me we shouldn't be worrying about technology computer skills and artificial intelligence 0 total fun we need to focus on developing digital that's wonderful and not trivial side. i've been saying for years that we have to apply ethical principles. to social media communication that is and this is our responsibility as education is this is a serious problem right now and we have to deal with it and something. has made this point clear to her students and they're getting the message. i don't think anyone knew that sharing this stuff was illegal. and when some of the kids got caught people started paying more attention to what they were putting on the internet. and. i don't think anyone in our class will ever share
10:56 pm
a sticker like that against another. all of us understand now that it's against the law. it's stupid and you shouldn't do it. this is a step in the right direction students are now talking to each other about what's right and wrong in the digital world in fact they know the rules better than many adults do.
10:57 pm
10:58 pm

play the lead player. this is details the news the wire from berlin and the un 10 gems the senseless cycle of bloodshed in the middle east but there's still no went inside the desperate search for survivors continues as more israeli air strikes pound gaza. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the military campaign against hamas is continuing after full force also coming up on the show she lays both for assembly

11:02 pm
a statement and while diplomats talk the violence continues. rocket streaking into the sky as hamas continues its attacks on israel wrecked buildings and burned out cars proof that not all missiles are intercepted by israel's defenses even in car moments the tension is palpable. note here is not simple it is living with the fear that you never know if a rocket will hit you there are rockets attacks which come without warning as you see people are walking around as usual like a daily routine but it's quite distressing israel is countering how much rockets with a fierce akam pain. gaza officials say dozens of people including children were killed on sunday. that would be the highest death toll since the airstrikes began leaving
11:03 pm
palestinians to mourn their dead. this father himself wounded in an airstrike on his house breaks down as he puts his daughter a final goodbye. the un has called for an end to the bloodshed. to leave the poll this latest round of violence only words the cycles of this destruction of this bear and put its involvement in the eyes of any hope of always is those. fighting must stop. but israel's prime minister benyamin netanyahu is a no mood to rein in his powerful military and. we will continue for as long as it takes to bring back peace to you the citizens of israel it will still take some time even as he spoke to news and israeli security forces clashed in the
11:04 pm
west bank a reminder that prolonging the conflict carries the risk of broadening it. and let's bring in our jerusalem correspondent kramer for more we've heard prime minister netanyahu there saying that israel's attacks will continue and that is operation is going to take time so where does that leave efforts at achieving a cease fire. well it's actually hard to tell at the moment because 6 contradictory reports we're getting his so we heard prime minister binyamin netanyahu saying once again that this military campaign or peroration against hamas in gaza is continuing despite international pressure and also despite the humanitarian situation in gaza that's deteriorating by the minute and i think he's also addressing with this the domestic scene here a lot of people within his own base that would like to see a continuation of this military campaign in gaza i would like to see
11:05 pm
a decisive victory off israel over hamas and to end it once and for all that's what i've heard a lot of times without really knowing what that actually means but at the same time knowing that we know that mitigation efforts continuing behind the scenes we know that egypt is most likely. between hamas and is who out and also others like the united nations and other countries but it's very difficult to see at the moment where these negotiations are these mediations and whether we are close so they're still far away from the cease fire and i do want to ask you more about those key arab players in the region like egypt which you've already mentioned but also jordan the gulf states have we heard them condemning israel. well we did actually hear them condemning quite sharply what's happening and i think you have to look also a bit back into the weeks preceding this conflict there was the issue of the
11:06 pm
pending in the action of palestinian families and it's to swim in favor of israeli settlers and then of course the issue of confrontations very serious confrontations between palestinians and israeli police on the reef of the temple mount and inside the mosque and that is concerning for many people here in the region of course every arab country here has a different kind of involvement also different interests different relations also with hamas in gaza and if you're just looking at jordan the kingdom is also of course the custodian of the holy sites and to swim in egypt that has played you know in previous rounds of has to. throw as many but i think also doubt the countries here in the region are looking very closely at the public reaction in the in their own countries because the issues. especially.
11:07 pm
happening of course in gaza and also what's happened in ending in jerusalem is very important to many is a great concern to many people here in the region did i think as tony a crime reporting for us from jerusalem thank you so much for that and for the view from washington d.c. we have details barrow chief there you know as paul you know as the u.n. security council has been meeting virtually on the conflict is there any hope of a breakthrough given the united states' position of unwavering support for israel. and you know clear biden has been allowing for the israelis to handle the situation on their own but the escalation is making this more difficult for the president of the united states both domestically and internationally critics are piling up asking president biden to stand up against israel and put more pressure on prime minister benjamin netanyahu to agree on a cease fire however at this point it is very very unlikely that the united states
11:08 pm
would not veto any joint statement which would put too much pressure on the israeli government well kind of pressure is the biden administration facing at home to try to put a stop to the conflict. we have to understand the president biden is very much focused on domestic issues these 1st months off his presidency is his main take is to create jobs in his own country and for his very ambitious plans he just needs the full support of every single democratic house member as he has only a razor thin majority in the senate why do i say that i say that because many of the left leaning democrats really put more power on or ask biden for more more clear stand against israel some like alexandra. cortez also known as a o.c.
11:09 pm
actually criticized him even publicly publicly on twitter saying if his administration is biden's ministration does not stand up to israel they lose their credibility too and i quote this here stand up for human rights so biden is facing a lot of pressure was in his own country. as poland washington will have to leave it there but thank you so much for your reporting. we can turn our attention now to some other news making headlines around the world. at least 2 people were killed and more than 150 injured when a grandstand collapse at a synagogue in israel sitting was packed with ultra-orthodox worshipers any jewish settlement in the occupied west bank the building was still under construction $45.00 people died last month in a stampede at a jewish religious festival. spanish coast guards have rescued 55 migrants who endured days at sea off the island of gran canaria the number of undocumented
