former pop star who's taken on uganda's political elite p paymt and ititaly's govevernment demas the european uni c change its rules on rescues at sea. it is threatening to close all ports to boats carrying refugees and to pull out of the e.u.'s rescue mission in the mediterranean. ♪ brent: i'm brent goff. it's good to have you with us. tonight, right wing groups have staged demonstrations in an east german city following two nights earlier this week of violence, antimodern migrant protest that included up to 7000 neo-nazis, far right supporters, and according to police -- it was all allegedly triggered by the stabbing death of a german men. to migrants, assyrian, and an iraqi have been arrested in

connection with the killing. more people gathered in the city center again this evening, though this time numbers were in the hundreds rather than thousands, and the scene was called -- calm for the most part. reporters were targeted, however there have been no reports of injuries. i've chief political editor spoke with the coleader of germany's far right afd party about the protests and violence. >> the starting point here was the horrible death of a young man. the city is in turmoil. how great is the political success? do you consisider it a as such? >> i would never consider a person's death and write a political success. there have been serious mistakes

. above all, , there has been no talk of the death itself, only about the demonstrations here. yes, right-wing radicals and others have jumped on it, but it still legitimate for people to take to the streets b because ty longer feel safe. but of course that has nothing to do with success for the afd. >> your coleader has said chemn itz is everywhere. she speaks of not meant on benefits, saying thousands of violent criminals have come to germany. so you are actually declaring germany unsafe. at the same time some members of parliament were in syrian spoke to the aside regime and said that syria was safe for the return of refugees. how doeses tt fit together? >> those are two completely different kettles of fish. our members who are in syria --

i wasn't there, so i can only quote what i heardrd -- they s y they are very safe zones in syria, and we must try to get people back home. this is a completelely different situation. i'm well aware t that eerie has bebeen in a civil war from the situation in germany today. mrs. merkel's immigration policy has created a situation where we have knife attacks, and my cold here is absolutely right about this, carried out by people who would not be here otherwise area -- otherwise. so there is a cause here in the cause is the mass immigration brought about by mrs. merkel. >> where do you get your numbers for knife attacks allegedly perpetrated by foreigners? under website there is a map of germany completely covered in knives, but if you ask state criminal investigation authorities, situation is not as uniform as you depict it.

>> all we have to do is look at what has happened. before chemnitz we had we spot in -- wiesbaden. now we are getting new knife attacks. of course there are many things that are only in local or regigional newspapers, but these are all attacks carried out by people who shouldn't actually be here. that's how you interpret the discontent on the streets of chemnitz? is it just about this attack, or was there more to it? >> i think there's more to itit. it is always claimed that the refugee policy has chahanged, tt it has c ce to an e end, but that's not true. we now had to deal with the consequences. thesese consnsequences will coce to h haunt us. people don't feel safe anymore, and whenever something like this happens, it is symbolicc of what people believe. i'm not safe in my city anymore, and that's why go out on the

streets, because no one ever asks me if these people should be here. brent: and that was our chief political editor speaking with coleader of germany's far right afd party. these of the stories making headlines around the world. the men secretary-general has warned of a potential humanitarian disaster in nortrthwest syria as thee government p prepares s a major offensive. the last rebelel stronghold in seririous on to nearly 3 million people. the yuan is calling for a humanitarian orndorff to allow -- the you in is calling for a manager terry and corridor to allow people to leave. john mccain's casasket was transported to a phoenix church for a public memorial service. from there, his coffin was flown for final time to washington, d.c.

uganda's population is under 24. many see above statar as their voicice. >> is the voice of me as a youth . israel and the this error. >> literally speaking, i wouldn't say that he e inspirese like going tohe streetsts in doing what he has been doing because there are other ways of handling things. >> he talks about t things that affect us. he talks about unemployment, education, corruption. >> the support he enjoys, especially among young people, the government seems to have a different perspective of the

politician who is also battlingg treason chararges in cou.. >> t there's a political moveme, and i don't think he his been viewed as -- there has been a lot of framing around events around him, his pr group and his handlers, where hehe has been portrayeyed lately as a victim. bubuthis is jujust a fleetining moment.. >> he was brought intoto parliament last year in election where he defeated for challengers. less than two years in office, he's been strongly critical of government. anyone with a serious politician needs to sit back and evaluate, whoo iss bobby wine representing

when he talks abouout people power, what is he trying to say? is there any weight in the words he is expressing to us today? and shouldn't president take heed? >> although he says it has been an obvious struggle, but challenging a government that has been in power for 32 years will prove to be his biggest struggle yet. brent: earlier we spoke to bobby wine slager about the charge of trtreason anand accusations of torturure. -- we e spoke to his law your. > we get to seeee credible evidence suggesting that he was involved in any acts of treason. so the charges are really nothing. he was severely beaeaten by thte

presidential protection guards. he was subjected to severe readings and kicking -- severe beatings. he was subject to several injections, the content of which he has no idea. they kept them away from his personal doctors and his family. someone who went into detention was h healthy, oking great, is coming out on crutches. these are the things we have been talking about. brent: that was the attorney for bobby wine, speaking to us earlier. let's talk business. is a revamped nafta nearing completion? >> that's the big question. talks ramped up on thursday, the

two sides pushed to hammer out a deal on a revamped north american free trade agreement. mexico has already signed up to an additional agreement. now the friday deadline is ticking to see if canada will make it a three-way deal. >> canada's chief negotiator expressed optimism m ahead of thursday's talks with her u.s. counterpart. >> as we said, our officials did some work, they prepared some issues for me and the ambassador to take some decisions, and we are about to go in, continue nenegotiating and do precisely that. because i used to be a journalist and i know how hard it is, we have brought you some popsicles. >> the overall taking shape would make it more costly for automakers to import a large share of vehicle parts from outside the region. without a deal, donald trump has

threatened to levy tariffs on canadian made cars. a key sticking point is canada's insistence on protection and its dairy industry, but trump has repeatedly criticized canadian tariffs on some u.s. dairy products as unfair. trump has set up friday deadline for the three countries to reach an agreement, which would allow the mexican president to sign it before he leaves office at the end of november. the trump administration wants to notify congress on friday and the congress then has 90 days to review the matter. >> can we go over to new york? not yet painted companies are saying that trade spats are hurting their bottom line. it maker of jack daniel's whiskey, for one, is feeling the pinch in the wake of the traits

that between the e.u. and the u.s.. the maker of jack daniels has issued a profit warning. whiskey is among the american products targeted by russell's retaliatory tariffs which includes peanut butter and harley-davidson motorcycles. some products will continue to be affected by tariffs until the two trading partners can come to an agreement. argentina's economy is in crisis and the country's currency, the peso, suffered its biggest one-day loss in three years overnight after president macri appeared on television and appeal to the i'm after release emergency funds. the peso has already been having a bad time this year with creeping inflation and budget deficits dragging it down 40% since january. everything is getting pricier. food, electricity, buses, schools. this year, inflalation and argentina is expected to reach

about 30%. at the same time, the peso continues to fall. since the beginning of the year, the argentinian curtsy has lost 45% of its value against the dollar. the country's central bank has spent weeks desperately selling off its currency reserves in an attempt to stabilize the peso, but to no avail. it has the president's appeal to the international monetary fund to speed upp this inin personsnm the countntry's $50 billion cret line. foreign investors anand the pubc have lost faith. the market doesn't trust the gogovernment, andd especially te economomic teaeam. if they don't step aside very soon, , things will l get much woworse. it's not a case of poorr at -- economic decisions. the main problem is that those in charge have lost credibility. and yet until recently, the

center-right president was seen as a dynamic reformer. he opened up argentina for trade and investments. all paid for with foreign capital. it's not clear whether the loans will be repaid. debt payments of almost $25 billion are e due next year. rising interest rates in the u.s. are one reason for the crisis. 's now more l lrative to park cash there, and that's not just affecting argentina. the ruble, the south african rand, the turkish lira and a brazilian rail are all plummeting. political conflict from making things worse. argentina may have further to fall. protests against the government are growing and the nation's biggest union says it has strikes planned, too. >> let's go back to our top story, the revamped nafta nearing completion. we're joined with our financial

correspondent in new york. nafta talks are said to be progressing. can we expect three signatures on the dotted line by friday? >> it is possible, but there are a couple of crucial questions. one is, where will be the big changes to nafta as we know it? maybe slight changes when it comes to the car industry, but even if the u.s. press is really hard, that 70% of cars that are being sold in north america should be built in north america, that is for most carmakers already the case. if we really see such a big changes, that remains to be seen. and the parliaments and all those countries have something to say to it as well. so nothing will be final by the end of this week, but signatures

overall or possible. >> we also understand that trump says he's going to go ahead with those extra tariffs on chinese imports. tell us more. >> to some degree, that was the shocker here on thursday. all wood long we talked about mexico and canada, but now the u.s. administration might start new tariffs next week when it comes to imports from china, $200 billion, if that really should happen, then china might answer with retaliatory measures. so that also had some traders on wall street concerned that if pressure increase here in the afternoon trading, that we should not forget that we had one record high after another and now we had a little bit of a breather. nothing was officially confirmed from the white house yet, but speculation increased that we might see more tariffs for goods

in the amount of $200 billion next week. so while we see a little bit of easing on one side when it comes to nafta, that he is certainly on when it comes to the u.s.-chinese relations. >> are financial correspondent on wall street, thanks for that, jens. the sale of high caffeine soft drink's two children could be banned in england. the government is mulling a prohibition amid health concerns. a public consultation was seeking views on the subject and asking whether restrictions should apply to children under 16 are under 18. any changes would apply only to england with scotland, wales, and northern ireland free to set their own policies. >> energy drink some becoming increasingly popular among children, but they contain high levels of sugar and caffeine and have been linked to obesity and a range of other health issues..

>> heart capitation, high blood pressure, inability to sleep, restlessness. so kidss tend to self medicate with them to stay up gaming and other things. teachers are reporting problems in schools. obviviously the sugar as well wh dental caries is a real issue. >> the proposed legislation would ban the sale of energy drinks contain more than 150 milligrams of caffeine per liter to children. it could contain the equivalent of three cans of soda. parents are becoming increasingly concerned. if that all think they should be allowed energy drinks. they should get enough nutrition through their food to bevel to go out there and do some activities and go all day without having these type of drinks.

i don't believe in them and i will never allow my kids to have them. >> a think really as parents we should do everything we can to protect our children. >> public-health advocates welcomed the proposed legislation. nearly a third of children in england are obese or overweight by the time they leave primary school. the government is hanging -- aiming to cut childhood obesity rates in half a 2030. >> back over to brent for a story that could have impacts on europe's controversial migration policies. brent: the new populist government is demanding a change of the rules concerning rescue of migrants at sea. back in 2015 from the e.u. agreed that all migrants picked up by its naval mission in the mediterranean would be disembarked in italy.

possible sustainable? options >> operation sophia was launched to crackdown down on people smuggling in the mediterranean. judging from the numbers arriving recently, the mission was a suit has spirit two years ago, more than 360,000 migrants across the mediterranean. so for this year, less than 70,00000 have attempted the tri. a lever, italy's new populist government is seeking to clamp down on those crossing the mediterranean route. >> we do think this is a genuine european responsibility. we talk about solidarity, what a wonderful occasion to show it. >> changing the mandate of the mission would require a unanimous decision by all member states. so far, no other you country has offered to open any of its ports to the sophia-ish and. -- to the sophia mission. brent: like many other

countries, germany faces a daily barrage of cyber attacks on its government and industrial computer networks. the new agency is modeled on the pentagon's cyber defense agency. washington earmarks almost 3 billion euros for its agency per year. its new german counterpart is starting with a budget of 40 million. that's in february 2016, a number of operations for post on at a hospital in one german city . the reason, an attack on the computer systems. is just one example of many. the german government wants to better protect the country and its citizens in the future with the creation of a new federal agency. germany currently lacks behind in cyber security. >> germany should take the lead internationally in cyber security, or at least a leading role. >> several systems are already in place to deal with cyber security in germany.

the new agency will promote research. the german defense minister says the security efforts will require more funding and more urgency from authorities. >> we want to overcome these issues with the new agency. it has to function in a different way. it will have to tackle issues, even if there is a chance it might. >> critics claimed the government not only wants to better protect itself, but also launch its own attacks. >> secured against will be kept open in the future. they will be kept secret from the population and the economy so they can protect others. this will lead to even further insecurity. press the german defense minister says that's not the agency's purpose, and according to the interior, counterattacks will be permitted only under special circumstances. brent: you've heard of fly fishing, now to some flying fish. the u.s. state of utah has rebuilt the latest method for
