yes, so the cost list ration policy starts november 9th on the w the this is dw news live in from berlin tonight, reaction to the wrong decision to execute a dual rainy and german citizen. the german government says it is closing 3, a rainy and console its in front test. also coming up the clean up against in spain after devastating floods it showed at least a 158 people. the country is in morning as people try to come to terms with their last salvage what they care plus is us, vice president, cumberland, harris and republican candidate. donald trump, make their final touches to the voters. we look at the role for in this information

could play in the presidential election. the brit golf is good to have you. with this we begin with the deteriorating relations between t, ron and berlin. today the german government said it is closing all 3 or randy in general counsel lives in the country in response to the execution of a german arabian dual national intake for on 3 days ago. and germany's foreign minister on the block made that announcement today saying that relations with iran has reached an all time low. she called for the european union to extend sanctions against iran. berlin had been morning of severe consequences for months prior to the execution of young she sharma, germany's ambassador to be wrong, left to run yesterday. as diplomatic attentions continued arrives over the

execution. here's the german foreign minister, unavailable. the model funny, i'm some of the mother of mister shaw my shows yet again that this unjust regina acts without recognizing any boundaries can find. it only knows the language of extortion tract and violence. i irena andrew jean was very well aware of just how important cases of german business off of the german government. they were also an integral part of the talks i had with the iranian foreign minister, actually a boss or rog, g one month ago in new york does mean light of the most recent events in the mid least. this model shows that an on just dictatorship, like that of the malott's does not act according to normal diplomatic protocols, even though minded through monetization, lugan. i get your political correspondent, julia. so billy has more now on those council and closures. yeah,

we've heard that the 3 general consulates of iran in germany have been order shuts by the german government. that means that 32 diplomats and employees working at these con slips will have to leave the countries operations will cease there. and if the employees are german citizens, then that is the only case in which they are allowed to stay. the embassy in berlin will remain open to continue providing services to the iranian citizen isn't here in germany. but we've also heard from the german foreign minister that there is an intention by the german government to keep pushing on a proposition that had already been brought forward. at e u level, which is to go ahead with listing the rang and revolutionary guard, that is the lead military core of iran as a terror organization and applying a sanctions to it as a tearing innovation. this is something that they have had already said she was in favor of and this is something that would have quite an impact on iran and even the

runs economy. because the revolutionary guard is so involved, any runs, uh, economy is involved in different kinds of industry. so this is something that could have a real impact in the country. in julia, what more do we know about the man who was executed into wrong? said junctions armada was uh 69 year old, dual german and ring and citizen who was born in terra on, but a move to germany with his family. when he was 7 years old and lived in germany until 2003, when he then moved to california to the us. and there he was a political activist. he was a member of the kingdom of an assembly of iran. and this is a group that is in favor of the monarchy. any rotten wants to take down the current regime at any ron. and he was arrested in dubai in 2020, kidnapped and taken to iran and of their sentence to death and killed. and accused

of being the ring leader of a terror group that a, an accused of directing a terror attack that happened. and you, ron, in 2008. now he and his family, an act as active as groups of denied that he was involved in, in any of these terror acts based political correspondent, julia so daily with the story tonight, julia think, in spain cruise continue to search for bodies in the wake of flooding. that has claimed the lives of at least a 158 people, a 155 of those just occurred in the eastern region, valencia alone. the coast or region of receipt was also badly hit. cleanup efforts are now underway with the residents of working to salvage what they can from their homes and businesses. officials say it was the worst flooding to hit spain in over 3 decades. this that's original rein bad, or the region after a cold drop triggered, huge storms, cold drops, or when

a cold atlantic low pressure system collides with warm mediterranean air. rescue will cause the scouring valencia's flooded landscape and lifting stranded residents to safety swathes of the area. a complete list of much of 3 years worth of rain failed in just a few hours marine vehicles littering moved to ways and piled up in the streets, showed the strength of what was spain's was not true dissolved in a century efforts to clean up modern debris. from the storm underway, residents and questioning why they would not sufficiently wound up the incoming flood, prove to a i don't really. so can you have anything i haven't seen the police know

the man nor anyone else? no one has come here to show that face. this is unexpected because the truth be told, this is an unprecedented the real 0. and they raced the alarm when the water was already here. when they told me the flood was coming, it was already too late. down the hill, they were telling me on the phone that the water was coming and i said to myself, but it isn't raining. and when i looked out, there was already a meter of water here and i got overwhelmed. i couldn't do anything. and i said, i'm going downstairs to move the car and i went downstairs and the water was already like this at the door. spain's prime minister petra sanchez visited valencia where he will and residents that the situation is still on such and that uh, i would like to tell the people who live in the province of valencia and also in cost to you on that. the storm is continuing. so please stay at home,

do not go out. if you can stay at home and listen to all the warnings from the emergency service, i say they don't have to be able to attend the locals and now advise to hunker down and wait for the next stage. and was, has an unprecedented natural catastrophe. as the w corresponded young phillip schultz is in valencia very slowly, the entire emerging electricity and the mobile network discount. most of the time, just to us from the village is that as to complete the cut off from the outside world, this is one of the pony streets that connect the effective areas with the city central valencia. so a lot of people come to bring water and sewage, or just to find out if their loved ones are still alive. nobody knows at the moment how many people have died at the moment. the numbers are already above $100.00,

but most observers say that in the next hours and days the numbers were probably that was the the use john phillip schultz reporting from valencia now to the other side of the atlantic, which is 5 days until americans are like the new president, both the democrat and republican campaigns, are busy with damage control racist remarks that this week's trump rally in new york city caused an uproar, especially a comedian labeling puerto rico as an island of trash. president j biden's responding gaff calling trump supporters, garbage. well, that caused even more trouble. it prompted republican nominee, donald trump, to take to the campaign trail in wisconsin in you see right there, a garbage truck. the former president's has been campaigning, he swing states. so it has his democratic rival, vice president, some of the harris suppose candidates of accused each other of so we division as

well, much of the polarization in us politics today began almost a decade ago in the 2016 us presidential election coverage, russian influence deeply affected that election, undermining many voters confidence that their boats, their elections were saved from foreign medley. well, in the years since us authorities claim they have learned lessons and that they're better equipped to deal with that kind of threat. but they also warrant that russia has not backed off, and other countries are also trying their hand at bending the will of us voters. when right wing commentator tim pool announced just over a week ago, 2 as 2000000 followers that he was stepping back from his successful youtube show. he said it was for personal reasons. so with that being said, it's kind of the weirdest way to announce that i'm pursuing, you know, my family life to the best of my abilities. and i would many speculated that the real reason have something to do with the recent department of justice

investigation, claiming that he was being paid by russia to spread pro trump this information. the indictment alleges that russia funneled $10000000.00 to $3.00 political commentators, one of them assumed to be pul, laundered through us base shell company without disclosing to them that the funding was for an authority say it's part of moscow's effort to influence the 2024 election, which they say has become more sophisticated since its 1st major efforts in 2016. although efforts to counter interference have also improved in 2024 in my opinion. and we have a good reason to be a bit more optimistic, so to speak. the 1st has been and you know, with smaller than in 2016. and the key reason is is because the, basically you read the performance on the side of american intelligence agencies as well as been responsibility for relevant media, oregon. still it proves to be a game of cat and mouse, while the department of justice managed to shut down the phone,

the company funneling moscow's money to $10.00 pool. russia continues to generate a flood of posts from fake accounts on social media platforms, such as ex, instagram and tick tock aimed at us voters watch at the us. intelligence community also says to other foreign powers or targeting us is upcoming election. iran and china. iran appears to be focusing its efforts at preventing from, from taking office, targeting particular groups, through fake websites such as efram majority in debt, black voters, and not our wor, aimed at veterans. in china, according to us, intelligence does not appear to have a preference in the presidential election, but as focusing efforts on, on sitting down valid politicians with into china produce some investigators expose the chinese link online campaign against marsher blackwell. republican congresswoman is aggressive, antique china stands has garnered national attention. we're going to have to break a lot more china to save america. the beijing has insisted that it does

not intend to and will not interfere in the us election. while us national security officials have prepared for the threat for an meddling, they haven't ruled out new methods that may only come to light after the votes are cast over more i'm doing now by nina john, cuz it's she is an expert on this information and democratization may remember, she was headed to the this information governance board before it was shudder to me, claims that it was centering, conservative voice. it is. we remember that well needing it's good to have you with this. i'm, you know, if i think back to 4 years ago, 8 years ago, what we're talking about now, it seems like these are moving, except the threat is much more sophisticated. now, how worried are you about the threat of for an influence in this election as well? i think you're absolutely right. our adversaries have adapted to a new landscape and which social media companies,

and perhaps the us intelligence community as well, or a bit savvy, or a bit more proactive and identifying and publicizing these threats. but the thing that is hindering the us response, i would say, is the politicization of the entire topic of, of this information. and you know, you mentioned that this information governance board i, it was completely false that the board would ever center anyone in america, conservative or liberal, the board had no, no power to do such thing. it was a, it was a policy coordination body. and these lies brought down a unit that could have protected us national security and protected the country against election interference and other just information that was going on. so we're less secure, i think, than we were even in 2016. although the threat has gain more awareness and us society and us government is trying to push back on it. it's also become a political minefield in my, my experience and my brief tenure at the department of homeland security. as proof

of that, you said we're less secure now that we were 4 years ago is that because of china, russia, iran add up to their game and trying to influence the outcome of the election? or is it because voters just have less trust in the system then they did 8 years ago, or? yeah, i think it's, it's both of those things, right. i this information and the most successful, this information isn't just cut and dry faucets. it is the use of preexisting fissures and grievances in our society that are amplified by, by bad actors in order to just let us apart to keep us focused on what's going on at home to achieve certain political outcomes. here in the united states. and we've got plenty of polarization, we've got plenty of victory off and plenty of grievances for actors like china, russia and iran to exploit. and then on the back end of that, we also have this political polarization that makes it difficult to even mention

the word this information in company that includes both democrats and republicans. so how does the united states protect itself when i get the impression that by the time you're aware that there has been 40 meddling, it's too late. you have to stop it before it happens. absolutely. well, there was just a great uh, published ization of, of a uh, a campaign last week related to russian. this information, a state campaign that said the ballots were being destroyed in pennsylvania. we saw an announcement come out from the office of the director of national intelligence very quickly after that. but even within 24 hours, that video had gained millions of views online. so it's a little bit like trying to put the genie back in the bottle. and from what i remember the long time that i've been involved in this space, my advice has always been for the government to invest more in media literacy. information literacy, helping people navigate what is increasingly

a polluted information environment. not necessarily just attempting to remove certain things from the internet, which the government has never done and wouldn't be an effective way to address this problem. anyway. now we've dug ourselves in even greater whole, and unfortunately whoever wins this election is going to have a very difficult time trying to get the country out of it. or is it possible to make this a tangible for our viewers? i mean, are there examples where you can say here is prove that we learned the lessons in 2016? you know, i, i don't think that we've learned the lessons of 2016 because right now, not only do we have this politicize ation of the word, this information with republican members of congress going after researchers like me and many of my colleagues, but we have the social media companies rolling back, many of the same fail saves that they had in place in 2020, that kept harmful this information about elections and encoded from spreading

further. and that's their prerogative, right? their private platforms, but they've changed those policies, they roll them back. we do not have a window into what the social media platforms are doing because they've cut off data access. and a lot of the agencies within the u. s. government and my view are ham strong because of the politicization that we're facing now and where i'm more politicized electorate to begin with. so there's plenty of fodder for russia, china, iran, and anybody else who wants to open that playbook. now a very say bring assessment there from nina jackowitz, anita. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. in the caribbean country of haiti armed gains have been terrorizing the population for years. they kill and torture essentially burn houses down. could that people for ransom, it's worth hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes. you went back to the security mission, led by kenyan police, has been working to stabilize the country, but it seems the gains are we getting strange reason,

in spite of attacks in the haitian capital uprooted thousands of people in a matter of days. you and how a copy was attacked by gates to airlines of suspended slides. the haitian police say the games could soon take control of the entire city afford to print. our next report is from the w. corresponded or you'll meet with the travel deported friends to meet survivors of gang violence and a warning to you. this story contains graphic descriptions of extreme violence of the um it's cause control trash and it has the streets. this is what much of haiti's capital looks like these days. most residents left this area a long time ago. we are on the boundary of gain territory. and despite feel specials, the police have been unable to restore safety. a street vendor tells us why she still comes here. good. that was the same. i like it's even more dangerous where i

live and i can't sell anything there here. but i can make at least a little money to take care of my children. we don't have time to get more of her story as well. the games can appear at any moment, as i said, the insult them are very dangerous. so we drive on to meet people who reflect the violence. the un says 700000 displays. people are now living and makes if child is like former theaters abandoned the government emacula. sybil is one of them. she tells us about a day in august last year, when she came home to find a house down inside with the charred remains of her husband and her mother. as if i found that the bodies and possessions this year with them,

i could barely recognize them. you're trauma and see me to move to a safe neighborhood, but you couldn't escape the danger. a few months later, gang members of talk to mack, you know, on a way to work with followed is difficult to listen to him. they kidnapped me. they beat me. they know some of my teeth out today. they hit my head with a 9 stick. they demanded $10000.00 us dollars to release me. well, they quoted my family for the money they kept meeting me. they also rates me. she says, a kidnappers torture to every day. we must so well as other than was the one i fainted a few times. at one point, i still tied dice and when they could not be in boston, they show you where they're going to put me. what do you mean? what do the use relative during pay the limits control and the thrown into a hole to dine for you for your, for your program with it. it's

a large hole about the size of a swimming value that you said we got the signal. so that way you see how many did body soul and that whole, she doesn't know the 2 men, those that some have the next chapter. some of the um, she also saw people being burnt and nice her family back to could nip as not to kill her. and after one and a half months, they were able to raise and pay part of the requested run, some after receiving the money, the kidnappers, through immaculate onto the street, the family found a week and a pile of garbage. she still feels pain in her body. and con, forget what she saw this. i don't have hope anymore. i always see dead people in the streets. it affects me a lot. i would like to live in a peaceful place where they come to immaculate, says she survived hell and would leave haiti immediately. if she could afford it,

just a few kilometers from here and tie a neighborhood, a still controlled by gangs like the one that kidnapped her diego duran is a heavy analyst with the international crisis group. it is based in mexico, diego, it's good to have you with this. the security emission led by kenyan police. has it been a complete failure? well, it hasn't been, it hasn't laid out as it was expected. the mission was authorized by the security council about a year ago, and it was expected that at this point, the mission would have a around $2500.00 police officers trying to support the police to regain the upper hand against the games. but if there has been many things that are happening hungry, the right, a deployment of the officers right now,

there are only around 5 a 4, hundreds and police officers seem full kinds from the security mission. so the mission is really under stuffed under equipped and he doesn't have no means to really a implement it's monday evening. hate. why is that? why does it have such a shortage of manpower and why is there a shortage of equipment a well, the secure this is not is un mission. so it is not and financed by us as contributions as other b. c can bring abrasions that have a meaning. haiti, the main, a financial back here for now is the united states who has contributed over 300000000 for the mission. and that is, has been mainly used to construct the operational base of the emission to fetch the officers and train the offices that have been deployed. but other countries having stepped up a despite many goals. for example,

at the recent general assembly high level meetings in new york to try to value support to have a more financial a more funds for these mission. because really, and this has been said, but the un secretary general a comparing that the default are needed for this mission with the money that has been rented to other security prices around. well, it is not a huge amount of money. okay, what did, so it is really do you, what do you say, do we need in a proper un peacekeeping mission of to be sent to haiti? would that do the job of helping to restore the rule of law and some sort of social piece in the country will visit the local security forces in haiti, clearly need a box and off into an international force. the strong international force to re date, a huge swats of the territory in the copy to and other regions of the country that

have been a big that are now controlled by gangs that have been spreading great over recent years. so what do you wish to know what they are? let me just ask you, what do you think the window has it taking that step to send in a peacekeeping mission? i mean that it's obvious that what they, what is being done is not working as well. it was discussed as some of the options that were on the table, but it was a, somehow the, the last resort option because you hated there was, uh, you went peacekeeping mission called you know, stuff between 20042017. that's deed a achieved to reduce the volumes in the country. but it also was, and that many peacekeepers committed crimes. they were involved in, in sexual abuse as they introduced call around 2010. so there remains candles that's made a haitians to be reluctant to have another piece keeping up with you and you're

going to bring up regions. so that's why it is moving around force. and that's now was these. unfortunately, we're out of time, but i appreciate you taking the time to talk with us. um, it's a complicated story. we appreciate the clarity for i'm giving you the rent. thank a to thank you for watching the
