>> hello and welcome, this is dw news. the nobel peace prize was awarded to juan manuel santos. the question is after colombian voters rejected a historic peace deal with the farc rebels, can the peace prize boost the negotiation process? as hurricane matthew continues its destructive course, haiti is counting up its debt. more than 800 people lost their lives.

that number could climb further. and filipino president marks 100 days in office. we have more on his war on drugs and his rhetoric. my name is christopher, thank you for joining us. the nobel committee has awarded the nobel peace prize to colombian president juan manuel santos. this was for his efforts to and those 52 year conflict with farc rebels. voters rejected the peace deal he signed with the rebels during >> a roller coaster week for

juan manuel santos. >> colombians, this award is yours. it is for the victims. to ensure that there is not one more victim, one more death. we must reconcile and unite to finish this process and start building a stable and lasting peace. santos was an early favorite for the prize. there came a major blow to the deal which had killed more than 200,000 people. the historic peace accord needed the backing of colombian citizens. in our jet -- resulted s to nythe colombians rejected the de. the nobel committee

columbia should keep striving for everlasting peace. farc rebels also praised the award. >> the prize is deserved. we must congratulate the committee to not only give the award to the president but to the whole country that is working towards peace. former hostage held captive by farc rebels applauded this. >> it is a vote of confidence in columbia. it is a vote of confidence in the leadership of president santos in bringing peace to columbia it indefinite terms.

both sides have pledged to continue. that is the message from this year's nobel peace prize. christopher: let's get some analysis on this story from reading university. tom, thanks for joining us. voters rejected that peace deal. can this nobel peace prize give fresh power? >> that was certainly the intention of the nobel prize committee. whether it changes the fundamental dynamics or not, that is the question. we see the parties coming together. he himself after opposing the

deal has been pretty clear that columbia should not go back to fighting. at least not yet. the major motivation here is trying to claim some credit for this deal himself to come in at the 11th hour and salvage the peace. whether or not this is useful in terms of the relationship is a key question. christopher: we will keep tabs on our relationship. what about the fact that it was awarded only to president santos and not the rebel leader. was that a clever move? >> it was a necessary move. had that leader been given this award it would have raised some consternation. the vote last weekend showed.

farc was guilty of human rights violations and that would have hurt the credibility of the award and perhaps the process itself with much of the population. christopher: many thanks for that. we're going to take a look nw at the long path to that peace accord. the war there is considered the last armed conflict. it has claimed thousands of lives and displaced millions. >> it all started in 1964 when the military attack. the revolutionary enforces -- forces joined the resistance. these marxist guerrillas emerged

in the jungle. but ordinary citizens were most affected. the civil war cost over 220,000 lives. 25,000 people disappeared. the conflict escalated after the turn of the century. they became heavily involved in trafficking. the u.s. joined in trying to force farc guerrillas outthat ir

our country. as a journalist we have to express ourselves in every condition and show the government that you cannot stop journalists from giving the people the right to knowthat iso something because we have a huge turkish committee. it is very hard for the people to take the news from the turkish president. the turkish analysts talking to dw news earlier. in pakistan, lawmakers have closed the loophole on on her killings.

they now face a life sentence for honor killings. perpetrators were able to walk free if the family pardon them. it usually involves mail relatives killing a female relatives. we've been getting more on this from jonathan. . will this amended -- amendment change things? >> the activists campaigning for this for decades, this law that allows for murderers to be pardoned was introduced in 1990. they argue that this is crazy, this environment of -- i creating real sanctions for

people who do these sorts of crimes the numbers should come down. christopher: previous attempts have failed mostly due to resistance from clerics. the country was reeling from the murder of social media star. she was strangled to death by her brother who said that the pictures -- he posted online put dishonor on the family. the prime minister's daughter tweeting this. saying there is no honor in killing in the name of honor. they also said i hope there will no longer be any forgiveness in honor killing. moving on, u.s. president barack obama has declared a state of emergency in north carolina that as hurricane maps bears down on

the state. hurricane matthew is now working havoc in the southeastern part of the u.s.. >> torrential winds of up to 250 kilometers per hour is pummeling florida. >> more than 2 million people have been urged to leave their home. overnight, the hurricane weakened slightly but it could still do plenty of damage. >> i just want to emphasize to everyone that this is still a dangerous hurricane and that the potential for storm surge flooding continues to exist and people need to follow the instructions of their local officials.

the eye of the storm just remains off the atlantic coast. this is the last time you will see me before we are actually in storm mode. please evacuate even if it's to a shelter. across the caribbean, it has already left a trail of devastation. it is slowly becoming apparent. communications were cut off to many areas and people were in dire need of basic supplies. after visiting the shelter, i have realized there is no water. we cannot help the people. there is no food. the united nations says hundreds of thousands of people need urgent help.

making lysates again will be a massive task. we will take a short break and have analysis for you on the first 100 controversial days of the philippine president. you are watching dw news. stay with us.

>> loses dw news coming to you live from berlin. this years nobel peace prize has been awarded to juan manuel santos from columbia. they have praised the efforts to get his efforts to end the conflict. it has been 100 days and the president of the philippines took office and in that time he has courted controversy with some powerful rhetoric and unpredictable policies. he has offended traditional

allies like the united states by working more closely with russia and china. he has insulted u.s. diplomats but it is his brutal crackdown on drugs that has brought a lot of criticism. is even compared himself favorite -- himself to hitler's. >> there are 3 million drug addicts. i would be happy to slaughter them. christopher: ok, with me now is some analysis. she is from the philippines and has covered his career. 100 days in office. we will talk about some of his

more controversial bateman -- statements in a minute. i just want to ask you about this war on drugs. what do the filipinas think of all this? >> that is not an easy question. there is a survey that came out today and the survey says about 84% of the respondents are satisfied. on the other hand, that same survey says 71% is that the drug personalities b, alive and not kill. this is quite confounding. no one has any delusions about what the drug or is. -- war is. that is quite a disconnect. we are all interested in the statistics.

that is why i find it quite hard . >> the international community has been reacting strongly to this. they have criticized it and very strong terms. is that having any effect at all? >> the short answer is no. there is no impediment for him to change his policies because they are popular. his work himself into a position that says the international community is against me but no one can stop me. the commission on human rights has pointed out that the philippines is a party to the international criminal court and the icc can step in in cases where this state is unwilling to

prosecute. obvious that is bit of a complication with judicial state killings. christopher: just very briefly, we saw duterte comparing himself favorably to hitler's. >> world leaders. this killer comparison is in a class of its own. this time around, the genocide reference could be spun as him speaking truth to power. he chose one of the most painful memories of wartime history and that was really hard to swallow all sides. christopher: thank you for that. we are now going to switch over to helen humphrey. >> germany's finance minister

says he agrees with the international monetary fund warning of the risk of ultra-loose monetary policy on the thinking system areas the possibility of a new financial crisis should not be out but dismissed the rumors of deutsche bank. the imf said it is one of the biggest risks to the financial system. that was the task of central banks instead. now he is in washington dc for us of leaders. hosea, good to see you. he is been very vocal already. the main message is that countries should not ignore the prospect of another financial crisis. >> yes the german minister of

finance did not comment on deutsche bank that he was very clear to point out those risks coming from the ultra-loose monetary policy nowadays taken by the ecb for the bank of japan. he said that the danger of a new crisis has not vanished. also the excessive debt that we see and the public and private balances. it makes a economy is more vulnerable so the imf on wednesday said that public and private debt are not included and it has approached to gdp. i hope that the g 20 members will take this current situation much seriously and accordingly. he will definitely make this a cause next year when germany

holds the g 20 summit. >> brexit seems to be a big enough concern in washington. it seems that the imf is mainly concerns about the long-term impact. >> brexit and its consequences was the word in town after the sudden drop in the pound. the director said that while the currency has declined sharply, there is been more negative market reaction so far. >> the to talk to you. now u.s. job growth slowed down again. nonfarm payrolls rose.

the unemployment rate also increased as more americans rejoined the labor force. it now stands at 5%. let's go to new york now and catch up. the u.s. job state is not perhaps the numbers that people were hoping for. >> no, it is always a crucial piece of information. when the federal reserve is not see it being in a good condition they are likely to raise rates and today we actually did see that. the unemployment rate has risen to 5% and also the economy created less jobs than expected. the overall picture is not as good as wall street wanted it to look like you these numbers are

not only having an impact but also on wall street. investors were not too happy about the data. let us not forget about the good news for which you have to dig a little deeper into the report. hourly earnings grew 2.6% over the last year. >> some other news is that snapchat's parent company -- has put a date on it. they are preparing the paperwork right now and they had better hurry up because they want to go public already. the ipo could value snapping at $25 billion or more.

and when twitter went public, it was valued at $18 billion and right now the market value of snapchat is still widely less when you look at the last financing round in may. wall street remembers how it went. the expectations are much more optimistic. thanks for that. >> back over nafta christopher. christopher: a quick reminder of the top story for you. the superstorm is now back in this state of florida for the north. it is been declared in north carolina. >> that is your world news for now but i will be back with the day and have a look at the prize-winning work of japanese
