mental project, they say it is not enough, but the problem is also that the heroes do not speak with one voice. the people here and also their traditional lead us. you have those to where on the negotiation table together with the government. some of them say we have to move ahead and finally conclude this deal. others of them say, no, this is not the deal. we want it and the government did not get our confirmation to agree on this agreement that was apparently reached last week. so they're now trying to pull out, and on the other hand, you also have those who have even a stronger position like here where we at the moment we just went on to, to with the local chief. and he said, no, this whole negotiation was never fair. we always said that the government should not be, should not negotiate on our behalf. we the effected communities are the ones who want to negotiate directly with the german government, which the german government did not want to agree on. so this complicates things, of course to find a solution. so they have issues clearly with the process, but what are they also asking for at this point?

well, i mean those ones here, we talk to they actually asking for the whole negotiation process to start from scratch again without the government. well, the government, they say can be an wealth, but also the effect that communities have to be stronger, involved others saying the amount that is supposed to be paid is not supposed to go to the government because they say they should set up a funds instead where the affected communities can decide them what they could do with the money. does the fact that the hero and number of people are not on board, have any impact on the agreement reach between the governments? so it looks like the german minister of foreign affairs was scheduled to be in the media this week to sign a 1st agreement. this, it doesn't look like if this is going to happen and it's going to be a long process. so it's going to be a long delay and one of the problems is also that the hero. now must there still minorities in the country, and many i talked to they don't feel themselves represented by the government. they say the government is mainly made up of peoples from other ethnic groups in the

past. they have not represented our region. they complained about the under development. you can see it also behind me how things look like in the villages here. many people still live in checks, there's no access to a to toilets and electricity in some areas. they say it hasn't worked out in the past, so they do not trust that the government here would use these funds that could possibly be paid by germany to really invested in the region where they live and whether it was really needed. it's audio increase. many, many thanks adrien, from southern africa to north america. and the u. s. is marking the centenary of a racist massacre in tulsa, oklahoma, in 1921. a white mob looted and burned a prosperous black neighbourhood. official figures put the death toll at 36, but historian shay the wheel number could be as high as 300 ceremonies to remember the events of a 100 years ago have been taking place in the neighbourhood, once known as black wall street,

because of its many successful black businesses for decades, the massacre that unfolded there was kept quiet, only recently has a full scale of the violence come to light. our reporter, kara, lina sh boy, sent this report from tulsa, the joy and pride in tulsa, the green. what the 3 people here are commemorating one of the worst race massacres in u. s. history about the same time they're celebrating their heritage. most of the survivors of childhood race massacre are no longer alive. their descendants are here today. it was kept a secret here until that and learn about it until i was about 9 or 10 years. so. well, i don't think people one to go back and remember the traumatic things that happened . they might have been afraid that it might happen again in 1921. a white mob, along with tulsa police, members of the national guard, attacked

a black wall street district by looting and burning businesses and hopes greenwood was reduced to ashes, 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 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 going no, we had our stores. we had on schools. we had own doctors and hospital. why the elder telephones 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 ignorance that keeps us divide it so events like this. continuing to educate people, that's the only thing that i think is going to get up past that point. that is what

this come i'm ration day is all about teaching people what should never happen again. nevertheless, there are still some buried secrets from the town. so res massacre. a gruesome however he was recently made at oak long time. terry, 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 tel to race massacre of 1921. but until this is clarified, the unknown bodies will remain in the grounds. some of the cruel things that happened in this dark chapter of history remain unknown and for many residents and so forgiven as will only be possible once the whole truth is finally brought to light. even if it's more than a 100 years later looking at some other world's stories. now, several european countries are demanding answers over reports that denmark helped

us by on german chancellor angle america, and other senior european holiday shops. multinational investigation revealed that the us national security agency use danish communication cable to monitor several european leaders between when and 12 and 2014. officials in nigeria are searching for at least 200 children kidnapped in the state. on sunday gunmen abducted the children age between 3 and 14. from an islamic school. if the latest and a series of mass abductions by i'm groups seeking rants and money, a new european union prosecutor's office set up to tackle fraud involving the blocks budget has begun worked at the e u commissioner for values and transparency. very rude, says a major point of scrutiny for the office will be monitoring spending of the use 750000000000 euro pandemic recovery fucking. so the unit is based in luxembourg.

it's composed of a team of prosecutors from 22 countries and headed by who manias former ante graph chief laura could reach bessie. earlier, she spoke to d. w. marina strauss. why is this office needed, or why is the agents needed at this point of time? as a prosecutor, i can say that if somebody story can moment for me, because for the 1st time we have in europe a public prosecutor office to investigate a financial community. this is very important, not only for us as prosecutors is important for all the european judiciary, but also for the citizens. because having the, the all weekend protect the european money, an estimated 500000000 euros of that use budget loss to fraud annually. what kind of tools do you now have a tend to, to tackle this kind of fraud? well, we will have a duty addiction in 22 members. there. of course,

it is challenging to try to have not only is ation of $22.00 different criminal codes and $22.00 different criminal procedure codes. but it's about to say today about the advantages of the feel. we will have a unique approach in or 20 to members space this mean that's all our 80 piece will be focused on for them, which will be a priority to investigate financial role and also the other advantages of the fuel . we have a, we are a specialized prosecutor office. this means that we are, we have a huge experience in the investigative, this type of crimes on an under advantage is the fact that we can use the case management system. this means that in all the moment, we will have access to all the cases that are in 22 member states. and with our theme heating on someone who can connect the dots, we can identify that the cross border crimes. and also we can improve the level of recovery or death, and she's one of your car. burke loads at this point of time will be to

monitor the 750000000000 euro corona virus recovery package. what kind of fraud are you expecting in the coming months in the years? especially in the last the year i saw that based on my previous experience, i can send that to the health care system with should be a priority for us agriculture investment, public procurement. but of course, we will rely also on the national authorities to detect these type of crimes. we have to take into consideration that the european level we have all of who can detect better than off some crime. so we will work also with the national authorities, but also with the other agencies in you. so i think in this way we will be properly equipped, let's say that to investigate the cases in 22 different numbers that you just said during the press conference. that the 1st case actually came from germany. can you

tell us a bit more about this this case? well, i cannot give more information. i can say that's the case. number one, it comes from germany from over europe in delegate the prosecutor who registered the case and who also advocated the case. after that, i understood that we received some more cases or so from germany, not also for italy. it's only known, so we still have time to see the statistics in the end of the day. now you still have a lot of work ahead of you. you already said it's only 22 of the 27 members days are part of this other, some members that's blocking the their prosecutors doesn't this actually undermine your office from the very beginning. i cannot call to be part of the do. it's a political decision. i'm a prosecutor, my, there's a prosecutor, i can say that we would like to have all our colleagues also for this non participating member states in our office and work together. i hope that our work

will convince them. thank you very much. now if your volcano in these years, this footage is for you. this is a drone flight that went more than a little ride. youtube or joey helm is released of film taken by his drone as it travels along a river of lava in iceland, giving the viewer a stunning again and rubbing volcano, but not for long. the drone crashed into some flying degree and fell to a fiery death. and before we go, here's a quick reminder of our top story at this hour with journalists and barriers increasingly under seizure. d w reporter says he was tortured during his reach in custody. some 500 reporters have been arrested in the last 9 months, including one taken after a commercial flight was forced from the skies over belts. you're watching the

i'm melissa channel, thanks for joining us. it is one of the most modern cities in the world, shanghai with it's 24000000 residents. but in an authoritarian state, that also means a lot of people to manage. and one of the best ways to keep an eye on things is through video surveillance. of course, that's not how political leaders sell it. they say shanghai is the 21st century smart city using ai facial recognition and big data. and they hope to expand the system across the country. he w mathias, billing or gain very special access to where all this monitoring takes place. it is called a brain and it has hundreds of thousands of eyes. and please of this surveillance center called city brain in shanghai put on district of direct control over cameras that cover almost every corner of the district. in the background, artificial intelligence scans the footage for rule breakers. on this construction

site, it has identified a worker was not wearing his helmet besides camera footage. the system also collects data from the city administration and property management. the government wants to create a powerful tool to govern the city and its citizens. so don don is one of the designers that the system that has been operating since 201800 shows that they were tested on the law by c nickel for us citizens in the city. the system helps providing a secure, orderly, and clean environment that the government doesn't mean to govern the city more efficiently. due until financial mclaughlin, county hall, john, they go check. the city brains, employees have access to more than 20900000 cameras. and this is just one hop of what the government envisioned as a nationwide network. the goal is 100 percent camera coverage at all important

places like train stations, crossroads, palms in berlin. scala, mac i called back, has studied these efforts for many years. she says she has downloaded millions of 10 this for surveillance systems from government websites that often spell out the goal of the surveillance explicitly. the word comes from not. guess i'm going to mention a mental talk. we're describing how human interaction is the source of any social conflict. conflict is what could cause trouble for the government who is concerned the social stability. so as long as you can cover every aspect of human life with cameras and surveillance, one can react, diffuse and come to the situation, come and listen. conflict, rash sided in decking and chaffing on hot on composite will put on

shanghai central business district is but one of many places that have such extensive data and surveillance infrastructure. there is little opposition from the public to the or seeing system put on city bray. not only collect surveillance footage, but also detailed data about each household in the city. in the cove it outbreak, its employees were given an additional task. the data is used to ensure citizens are observing their quarantine. let me push. does it go all the answers if we install interconnect sensors at the apartment door. if somebody leaves the flat and breach of the anti epidemic rules, we will get an alarm signal, mental health authority and compound workers would be informed by us and can react swiftly across to the project. like to don't city brain show. china government sees data as a means of control. the pandemic has only advanced these ambitions.

joining us as jennifer through research fellow at the lower institute in sydney, welcome to the program jennifer. according to one study, china has 18 out of 20 of the most surveilled cities in the world. but from the report we just saw, it looks as if many chinese residents are okay with this. i seen that china is an authoritarian state. i believe that there is much option or opportunities for citizens to view dissatisfaction or disagreement with the increasingly so cameras, surveillance technology in the cities. unlike elsewhere, i think china is the approach to survey loans and the approaches smart cities is driven by the state. the central states,

so it's very top down and the opinions and voices of the citizens are often neglected in the future of state policies. yet super hard to get a sense. you can't exactly run polls, but are there some people who view it as living in a modern smart city as opposed to living in a surveillance city? do we have a center? i think. yeah, i think let me answer it in this way. i think post pandemic host current of our test cobit 19. there's going to be a great role for technology, whether it's monitoring, health future tend to makes and other such issues. the role of technology will become increasingly important. and i think this is one way in which the chinese state will utilize technology to increase it. surveillance on its citizens, perhaps for good for health reasons, but also probably from the perspective,

maintaining ability, cohesion and other such issues. so i think in a post tend demik. well, we're going to see a greater use of technology in china and broad for monitoring different issues, helping one of them, but issues of personal privacy, obviously coming into contact with the sort of monitoring devices. technology can you give us an example of that? we know, for example, that the video monitoring system in shanghai would be able to look at people and make sure that they weren't exiting their apartments during the locked down. but can you give me a couple more examples of how this might play out, as you say, post pandemic? yes. so we know that there was technology is there like $200000000.00 or more security cameras being used in china and possibly edging up

to $300000000.00. find me 2018. that what you 100000000 and the estimate for the end of 202300 1000000, which far exceeds the number of commerce use in the us. 15000000 are these cameras as leaves reading reports, hurting media coverage. all what is happening is use against chinese citizens in she's young and elsewhere against i think men are using china. so i think there's a conflict of situation within china. the state monitoring of ethnic minorities, the push to to stay ahead of future pandemic. i think we can see these events and potential future as coming out to converge and technology will be really important . part of it. you mentioned the united states and big cities around the world from

sidney to london. have video cameras. what makes cameras in china different, or is there no difference? well, i think the idea here, so the idea of cameras is part of surveillance, but they are also part of this idea of a smart city. where, you know, the use of technology can help governments improve their efficiency in terms of the delivery of services to the citizens. but it's how you utilize that technology, camera technology, and they want to stop component of smart city. so how that technology is used by the chinese state is often questionable in a democracy about the strategy or, or the united states and elsewhere. how that softer is used is not transparent or it's very opaque in the case of china. so that's where we see additional goals. yes,

that's right. got it. jennifer sou, thank you so much for joining us. japan. it is facing a serious conundrum. it has thanks so much money into the olympics. officially. $15400000000.00 us dollars. and if tokyo cancels the games, the country stands to lose an estimated 16500000000. so organizers are low to stop the games, but citizens see a public health danger if the event moves forward and majority do not want it to happen, especially because most of the country remains unvaccinated. all these spirits, the australian olympic softball team, is the 1st international squad to arrive in japan and that they think unprecedented restrictions, restaurants, know, sightseeing, certainly,

no socializing. i think that these athletes as well, neither do i have to take responsibility for their own behaviors. well, they're committed to do that. they committed to look after themselves, but do the right thing by the japanese population as well, and be ready for the game. so most people in japan did not want the olympic games to happen. that questioning of the sense of 15000 olympic and paralympic athletes for more than 200 countries traveling to japan at a time when serious cobra 19 cases have recently hit new highs. the nation's slow vaccination roll out isn't helping either. you see lucas? no. one of the japan has been working hard to roll vaccines out like that demand did not match with supply. and that was from the very start. japanese olympic athletes are now being offered jobs, but only about 2 and a half percent of japan's population has been fully vaccinated so far.

despite all this. so the organizes a standing firm and also got a note with a wall held all over the world. and as i said, there are no examples of clusters of the infections spreading. therefore, we believe we don't need to think about counseling. now. the arrival of australia softball team is a huge show of confidence in the beleaguered events. all team members tested negative after landing, but the question remains will this be enough. 6 to restore the confidence of the japanese public in the games that's it for today will leave you with the more pictures of japan olympic torch relay running through the prefecture. thanks for watching the tomorrow. the

news the fight against the corona virus pen. how has the rate of infection been developing? what does the latest research information and contact the corona virus? the 19th special next on d, w. in the climate change, the city
