2:00 am
the tracking ancestors on d w. they want to know what makes the germans love be a bad thing away. i've been my own call and everyone with later holes and everything getting you ready to meet the gym and then join me. rachel, do it on the w ah, this is the w news, and these are top stories. the u. s. has marked us and 10 re of one of its deadliest racial atrocities. in 1921, a white mob looted and burned a prosperous, black neighborhood in tulsa, oklahoma, known as black wall street official deaf toll is 36, but historians believe the real figure can be as high as 375. france and
2:01 am
germany are demanding answers following reports that denmark help the u. s. by on european leaders, including chancellor under the medical, a multinational media investigation revealed that the us national security agency used danish communication cables to monitor several european leaders between 20122014 colombia security forces are tight and control over the city of cali, president yvonne to k ordered soldiers and police to patrol the streets after several people were killed and anti government. protests collie has become a hotspot for protests which began in april over a proposed tax increase. and since expanded the cover police violence poverty and health care, this is dw news from berlin. you can find more on our website that d w dot com. ah,
2:02 am
ah, the old saying that one must keep your friends close and your enemies even closer is being tested in berlin. it's been some years since it was revealed to us was listening in the gym and chancellor anglo medical's phone conversations. it was outrageous at the time, but also not completely out of step in a long and often complicated relationship. but the report suggesting that the eavesdropping was facilitated by danish intelligent services has cost things in a new life. they're mostly friendly neighbors, but this is unmistakably awkward. i'm anthony. how in berlin and this is the day. oh, lose them. we're in contact with all the relevant, national and international agencies for convocation. i have repeatedly made it
2:03 am
clear to the us president that spying on friends, unacceptable. not about friendship. it's not about moral and ethical claims. it's about forcing interesting, gaining information for them to give in the fact that friendly intelligence services, the wire tapping and spying on senior representatives throughout the countries that is quite grotesque. they have to say publicly but friends and friends, they all know. but friends do just that would mean i would take this approach. trust. no one's also on the day, it's been 100 years since a thriving black community was gutted by a mob in the us city of tulsa, oklahoma. the toll from the massacre with catastrophic and the when, while elder telephones rather have remained silent in the past, out of fear, younger generations believe now a century on its well and truly time to talk about ignorance that keeps us divide it. so events like this. continuing to educate people,
2:04 am
that's the only thing that i think is going to get past that point that and learn about it and tell us about 9 or 10 years so, well, i don't think people one to go back and remember that dramatic things that happened . they might have been afraid that it might happen again to our view is on p b. s. in the united states and all around the world. welcome. we begin the day as gemini demand samples over a report that denmark helped us by on senior european politicians, including chancellor anglo medical, initial revelations, nearly a decade ago showed that the us national security intelligence agency kept the fines of several leaders, including the smirk of now a multinational media investigation says a danish military intelligence unit supported the u. s. wire tapping operation. to make matters worse, the germans only found out by the journalist covering the story. we'll talk to one
2:05 am
in just a moment. the 1st this report, spying on your neighbors. denmark secret intelligence agency reportedly gave us counterpart the n. s a access to extensive data streams to danish internet cables to east robin european politicians. a joint investigation by several european media outlets shows pharma german chancellor candidate past i am book was one of the be enough targets. he's angry at the revelation saying it's pretty grotesque that allied intelligence serve as a spy on leading politicians of other countries. it's evidence that they have a life of their own. i think this is a political scandal. the phone tapping off chance langley, la macklin form a foreign minister find the vital stein my came out in 2013. as part of whistleblower. edward snowden leaks on the n s a is actively teeth. what they didn't reveal was that such a close european ally was involved. another major problem,
2:06 am
the danish government didn't inform their german neighbors, though they apparently knew about the east dropping as early as 2015. the german government only found out about the latest revelations from the press. after a virtual meeting both turns la, la mackerel and french president demand what am i call emphasized why a tapping allies was not acceptable. i wish that i was relief to hear that the danish government, the danish defense minister also made it very clear what she thought of that. so in addition to seeking clarity about the fact i see a good basis on which we can really both trusting relationships. but to achieve that, copenhagen will have to find a way to keep its intelligence agency in check, which i now by antonio's kept man, a journalist from the german public broadcast to india, who is part of this investigation. antonia welcome and congratulations. what can you tell us about how you and your colleagues found out about denmark,
2:07 am
st alleged spine on anglo medical. yeah, our reporting and the reporting about danish colleagues, denmark's radio is actually based on a report that the danish intelligence agency itself compiled the so called doing them a report. and after this known revelations, the danish intelligence agency did a secret investigation into what was actually being surveilled at one of their surveillance outposts just off the copenhagen airport. and they found that there were a lot of targets in europe on the selector list targets and france targets in germany and norway in sweden. and then of course was quite a the next proposal. fine. and tony's given that this is all potentially quite embarrassing for denmark, i wonder, did danish authorities try and interfere with the investigation in any way?
2:08 am
no, they didn't try to interfere with the investigation. but we learned this report was actually being finished in early 2015. so this has been in the, in the drawer at the danish intelligence agency for years now. and neither the danish intelligence agency nor the danish government have share this information with their allies in scandinavia or in the rest of europe. and i think that just shows you how explosive those findings actually are, that they've been hidden away as far from the public's eye and from the eyes of the allies as well. and tony stayed with us. i wanted to play to you a response earlier today on the w from medical city. you potty, patrick. since book lid an investigation into an essay, spying on the chance to let, let's have a listen to what he had to say. i think europe intelligence agencies work together with the u. s. side, so they work together with other partners and they have the interest. for example,
2:09 am
if you're taking concerned the period of breakfast, i think our european partner has got the interest to inquire, what are the positions and that's what so intelligence agency for. that's why i always pointed out we have interest. we have common interest. but there is no field of friendship concerning states or agencies. friendship you have from between person, but not between agencies. that was a pragmatic patrick center from medical say to your party antonia. since because i'm surprised saying it's part of the course in the intelligence world, but i wonder how surprised were you at what you one covered european ally hoping the us fire on a very close friend and ally we were we were surprised, but then 2nd thought it fits a pattern, it fits things that we have seen in the past. we've covered the known revelations a couple of years ago. and so back then we were able to learn about the cooperation
2:10 am
between the, between the german intelligence agency, one is not in dean's and d, n a. and a lot of the things that we saw there we have finding again now in denmark. so it fit the pattern, we see that the n s a approaches, countries like germany and denmark and offers them support and expertise in surveillance techniques in return for access to resources like cables or in germany . it was a satellite surveillance station. so there's certain things being offered and certain things being asked in return, and so it fits a pattern. so in general, it's not that surprising. the german government, in this case had to find out from the team of journalists doing the investigation. i want to, we, we part of that particular call and how hard was it to convince the german government that your investigation was credible?
2:11 am
i was not part of the call, but as i was close by and we were surprised, we were very anxious to find out whether they knew and to hear that neither chancellor merkel and nor the president of the time i had any idea of this just showed us that we were on the right way and it also showed bed. and there was a finding of, of, of a magnitude because otherwise they would have been informed by the danish, but the dentist chose to keep that hidden and steinberg. you played it in your, in your segment. he said it was grotesque that such a close allies, denmark would lend themselves to, to surveillance tactics like that. given all of that, how much further you think this could potentially go the response, the actual investigation itself? is it conceivable that a country like germany could work with us? do you think display on some of the closest european partners like france or italy?
2:12 am
is it conceivable? i would have to take a guess there. i think it's definitely conceivable. everything we've learned over the years is that intelligence agencies always try to push the boundaries. that's why the n s a such as sought after partner because they have have capabilities that no one else has. and we know from that one is not a deal. for example, that then when, when they gained insight into what the n s a actually could do, that they were exhilarated and we found memos saying that the software that they showed us, we could have never neither a financially nor technically have pulled off. so working with the n s a gives you access to a whole new world of, of surveillance capabilities. so that's, of course, very tempting for any one nation to partner with the n s a. and so i think that's why so many did an incredible story journalist antonia came out from germany's and
2:13 am
the broadcast a many thanks. thank you. the, the international i'd organization, doctors without borders, his warning that hundreds of thousands with people displaced by the threat of a volcano eruption in eastern congo and our risk of cholera infection. the reception of mount and congo, near the city of goma stock. i can y'all take but necessary mass exodus among them were hundreds of children separated from their parents. in the panic of the w, mario mother reports now from sucking on some of the young people still waiting, hoping to be reunited with their families. then he had gone, go volcano, still fuming over a week after the devastating eruption and it's still impacting people and it's is entity like 6 years old as he lost his parents. and the calles when he and his family flat and panic on this child has been found and you will take him to your
2:14 am
home because the way to find his parents, he will stay with you but but you're welcome. bye. happy bye. it's your works as a volunteer for the red cross. his job is to register children who have been separated from the parents. according to the you and nearly a 1000 children were reported missing after the option of them bahati and his colleagues have been able to reunite 700 with their parents. but he found ezra among other children on the street. he says that child is taken in body already has 6 children of his own union as to why they keep bill a 2nd. a little that i have that god has given me. that is what i feed the children . but still struggling at least they can still afford a simple meal. many others fighting over essential to the people. yeah. that's not enough.
2:15 am
not pain. and it becomes a faculty provide the people the next hour, many of the $400000.00 people who fled the option come here to the town of soccer. there are no shelter. people are sleeping and schools are inside the church. what when we, when? how can i keep to the living conditions have become very bad? markets have no food. i personally am not making a living. i'm now poor. was this thing here. you know me was taken in 3 days ago. she never forgot the moment when the sky turned red. yes. i told my mom, mom, look, the volcano is now on fire. we got out and many were seeing there was when we lost each other. i was very afraid i was shaking. i was not even able to run to the
2:16 am
house. she thinks she knows where her parents might be, but it's far away and transportation is expensive. me in the after i find mom and dad would like to move here because i like it here. playing on the love of a pastor option as right now, me hope to be reunited with their parents soon or early. we spoke about correspondence in gold. mary miller and asked her how the people who have lost their homes and had to flee a coping. yes. so there are 4500 homes that have been destroyed, and 20000 people have been affected by the lava and the russian, according to the un. and as you could see in this report, and the tunnel stack of which is more or less 30 kilometers away from here, people basically left with nothing so they lack food. they like drink up of water. they likes annotation medical treatment and also shelter as it could also see. so
2:17 am
it was really devastating to see that because the situation now is going on for, for almost a week over a week actually. and still, they don't, they use people, it still gets sold us help and they also quit size, but i love so yeah, that's the current situation. but the most, my thing is, is probably the lack of drinkable water and that's what also people tell us. they even go to the lake. yeah, lake people to get water and the water is actually not fit for drinking at but dangerous drink it because you could get caller on the water borne diseases. and that's also what doctors without borders is warning that there could be a cold her outbreak. ah, well is one of the worst acts of racial violence in american history. 100 years ago today, a white mob looted and burned down a black neighborhood in tulsa, oklahoma, killing countless residence theory, once known as black wall street, was reduced to rubble and ashes. for decades. what happened that day was kept quiet,
2:18 am
and the recently has the full scale of the massacre come to light and this past been acknowledged as a difficult part of the american present lab report. carolina, she more traveled to tulsa and sent us this report. the joy and pride in tulsa green, what district people here are commemorating one of the worst race massacres in the u. s. history about the same time they're celebrating their heritage. most of the survivors of childhood race massacre are no longer a life, but their descendants are here today. it was kept secret here until that and learn about it until about 9 or 10 years. well, i don't think people one to go back and remember that dramatic things that happened, they might have been afraid that it might happen again in 1921, a white mob, along with tulsa police, a members of the national guard attacked the black wall street the street by
2:19 am
looting and burning businesses and homes. greenwood was reduced to ashes. at least 300 people were killed or 10000 black people were left homeless. a shameful episode in the history of the city where race still devices, residents. we have our north part of tulsa, which is for donna black and south and east and west is predominately white. and i feel like there's that line that you just don't cry if you're one of the other, it's always been a division. but with me growing up in north hall, so we never went out to buy anything. everything was in no, we had own stores. we had on schools, we had own doctors and hospital. why the elder child sums have remained silent in the past, out of fear, a younger generation beliefs. the only solution is communicating what happens on that fateful day. it's ignorant that keeps us divide it so events like this. continuing to educate people,
2:20 am
that's the only thing that i think is going to get past that point. that is what this come m ration day is all about teaching people what should never happen again . nevertheless, they are still some very secrets from the town. so race massacre agreed, some discovery was recently made at oak lawn secretary this is the side where archaeologists the an earth a mass grave a couple of months ago. they assume it might be connected to the cal to race massacre of $921.00. but until this is clarified, the unknown bodies were remain in the grounds. some of the cruel things that happened in this dark chapter of history remain unknown. and for many residents and forgiveness will only be possible once the whole truth is finally brought to light . even if it's more than a 100 years later now,
2:21 am
so the real life house of cards playing out in israel, political opponents of prime minister benjamin netanyahu joining forces, a proposed coalition of right left and st. affections with little in common. besides the opposition to him, they include the would be kingmaker. next. how they've been. it is a far as they found nationalist, a former netanyahu, and a tech 1000000 in ben is a strong supporter of jewish settlement in the is read the occupied west bank. he says he's looking to be part of the diverse coalition government. he's been locked in negotiations with central opposition, lead at the pin. the pin has been tasked by the president to try and form a government with a deadline at midnight on wednesday. ill also need the support of israeli arab parties. the pizza on monday that a great many obstacles are standing in the way. building a coalition in israel's notoriously fractured political landscape is no easy task. one that's seen for elections in the past 2 years. he's what tom israelis think
2:22 am
about how this is playing out. believe that the new prime minister will unite israel because it is now divided into many pieces. and we need the change. i think the bit of a disgrace to someone who was elected with only 7 mandate is the person who decides the fate of the country. there was a majority that voted for someone else. and if that is not possible, needs to be another election. so i think it's a very dramatic moment for israel and politics, and then it himself is taking a huge gamble. i'm joined now by me should off i professor political science at carleton university in ottawa, canada who specializes in israeli politics. it's good to have you on the day. how optimistic are you to begin with that this potential coalition will actually happen but anything can happen between now and the time that the need to be voted in and
2:23 am
their skill is some uncertainty of what role the 4 feet united arab left would play . would they be actually part of a coalition, or would they simply be a supporting partner helping get a vote to over that $61.00 seat threshold as a policy i ends up being rolled out in the coming months. these political parties have one common goal to i'm c, netanyahu, but he's that common goal enough. do you think to unseat a man who even by political standards, is extremely hard to kill sure. i mean, they want to unseat him. they also want to govern as, as any politician does. so there is a bit of a sense of wanting to rid the country of knitting out who's ruled for 12 years, and also wanting to get on with their own political fortunes on their own political goals. now new to now for his part has said that he won't resign. and it's important to know that this isn't a trump like move, per se,
2:24 am
because since the parliamentary system and your listeners are certainly very familiar with parliamentary system, now still maintain the head of the party still maintain as parliamentary thief. so he but, but he still may very well try to talk with the government as opposition. party sometimes do in the coming months. so it's gonna be hard. but if it happens, can such an agreement survive in the long term this coalition? and can i ask you if you think these parties will even care whether at last far beyond the day when yahoo is gone or out of the way will because it's a shared prime minister ship a rotating prime minister ship. there will be a lot of desire by the 2nd prime minister still appeal to want to at least get his chance at the helm. so for the 1st 2 years, that would be bennett, and then the next 2 years will be paid. so he'll have every reason to want to hang on and really it, it all depends on the policies and whether there's
2:25 am
a vote of no confidence in the coming months to policy. bennett is pro settlement so, but does not definitely rule at any compromise or agreement with the palestinians. where do you see that going? very unlikely that will see any movement in israeli palestinian relations or the the, the one named piece process because as he said, bennett is very hard line on retaining israeli settlements. and perhaps you've been an exceed parts of the, the west bank. now the other thing to note is that this coalition, even though bennett is quite far to the right is coalition is actually has quite a bit of the center and left in it. the, the, the wants to fund or the, the once labor party that is now shrunk, a lot merit, as we said, possibly the air party. so it's really quite a rod coalition. so very interesting to see what they're able to agree on. and i think what we'll find is that most of the initiatives that they seek to roll out
2:26 am
will be domestic initiatives regarding the economy, even things like traffic accidents, which sounds quite prosaic, but really is a big problem in israel. professor. we know netanyahu is going to be working hard to sell this coalition as a danger to israel, an unsettling, near future on the horizon. does he have a point? and with that, does he have a chance of holding on? you know, i don't think that that message that he's going to try to get across to voters is really going to stick. because bennett is more b, b than be right, than it is, is quite very hard line on the palestinians. la paid is a, is a secularist and a centrist and, and then you have other parties more to the left. so i don't think that that be, that netanyahu rule really represents much about an exciting alternative to voters now, because he's been in power for so long. there are voters who are loyal to him and
2:27 am
feel that he's just sort of become the naturally ruling. prime minister, on the other hand, he faces chargers of, of bribery, fraud and breach of trust. so many voters are happy to see and go. professor may have a good fund, calvin university, and out of what many, many thanks. you're welcome. for the sport. now me, a soccer has withdrawn from the french. i've been tennis organizers threatened to expel her when she was boycotted when she boycott had a nice conference rather, the world number 2 decided not to face report is off to her 1st round when citing mental health issues. she was find the $15000.00 the soccer earlier said she would not attend the obligatory news conferences. she maintains questioning affects her mental will be on the day is almost done by the compensation continues online. you'll find us on twitter and instagram at d. w. use, i'm asked me how in building, thanks for watching the news.
2:28 am
