he reportedly collapsed today during a court session in cairo and was rushed to the hospital, where he later passed away. he was a key figure in egypt's muslim brotherhood and he was the first to mechanically elected president in egypt's modern history. he had been in jail since 2017 -- 2013 after the military ousted him. that coup followed massive protests against his rule. for more on what happened today and demand and the legacy, i'm joined by my colleague. she is from egypt. you have been covering the story. let's talk about what happened today in that courtroom in cairo. >> the president, mohamed morsi comeau's facing charges on espionage that he has with hamas. he spoke for about 20 minutes

before he collapsed. the egyptian state media said this was a diabetic coma, and he was then taken to an unknown hospital and pronounced dead. this is really coming from a host of medical issues. he was a diabetic and he was not getting -- reports are scarce, but he was not getting proper medical treatment while he was in prison. we have a quote that his son gave dw news about this, he said, no one contacted us to tell us where his body is. we haven't been able to see him once -- since december 2018. brent: he has been in solitary confinement since september of 2018? >> he was in solitary confinement. we can't say in terms of details of how long he has been there. there are reports where he has

been in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, again, not being medical treatment or access to a lawyer. brent: we know that the muslim brotherhood has called for an international independent investigation into his death. is that likely to happen? >> and egypt at the moment, with the new -- i say new regime -- the regime that replaced him, that support for the muslim brotherhood has been quashed. there is less support now, it might be the weakest time for them and their 90 year history. in terms of what we will see, it might be scarce or nothing. it remains to be seen. brent: what does it tell us about the way he will be remembered moving forward if the muslim brotherhood is weak and egypt is a country?

i'm picking up mubarek as well -- and to give mubarak as well. when you're ousted, your ousted. >> egypt state television as a been covering this as much as you might expect a country to cover the death of its former president. with mubarak as well, his trials were televised, we do not have that with morsi. in terms of whether supporters get to mourn this, whether it will be big in egypt at all, i don't see that happening. >> -- brent: do you think there will be an official day of mourning or anything technology passed away? >> we have probably got as much of knowledge meant as we well. brent: getting us the latest on what happened today in cairo. thank you. here in germany, federal

prosecutors have revealed they are treating the murder of a local politician as an act of far right extremism. he was a member of chancellor merkel's conservatives. he was a vocal supporter of the chancellor's welcoming approach to refugees. he was shot dead earlier this month at his home and essential state of hesse. the suspected killer has a long track record of hate crime according to police. >> in the early afternoon, a spokesperson for the federal prosecutor held a press conference. the police believe they have established a motive for the suspect. >> as the current state of our investigation, we assume a we are getting with his right-wing extremism. the suspects past gives us grounds to believe this as do his public opinions and beliefs. >> onto second, -- on june 2,

walter luebcke was shot dead on the terrace of his home. one of the first suspect was found on a north sea ferry, but the authorities were on the wrong track. the 45-year-old suspect was found by means of dna. the police acquired comparative material on the suspect was convicted of previous right-wing crimes. authorities were tipped off to the connection between the murder and extremists one night observed right-wing celebrations on social media after his murder. although the federal prosecutor does not believe the suspect is part of a larger extremist network, they are still investigating the possibility. brent: i am joinedbrent: by tessa walther, who is standing outside the home of walter luebcke.

have you been able to talk to neighbors and people in that area? what is the atmosphere there? >> i could speak to some people. the atmosphere is very chilled here brilliant people are shocked that there might be a right-wing motive behind the death of walter luebcke. they knew him as a friendly person. he took up the capital with him when he was home. they are shocked that his political stance, and especially his support for refugees might have something to do with his death. brent: is that what they are telling you? do they assume that they know why walter luebcke was targeted and murdered? >> walter luebcke was quite well known for his stance for refugees. he opened up some refugee centers here. all of this heated up in 2015

when he stood up for refugees, saying everyone who disagreed with this belief of welcoming them was free to leave the country at any point. the reaction was very genetic. he received hundreds of death threats, he was under police protection. all of this repeated itself after death. eight speech appeared online, saying that his death was a good thing, that he was a traitor of the people and he deserved to die. this brought the police to this right-wing suspicion of a crime. brent:brent: what do we know about the alleged killer? tessa: the killer is a 45-year-old man. he was arrested saturday morning. he had allegedly been in contact with the extreme right-wing scene in germany several times, especially with the group combat

18. that stands for at all caps on. -- adolf hilter. he committed his first crime against refugees at 20 years old, attacking a refugee center here in hesse. stands in contradiction to what the people were saying, who describes them as a nice father who greeted them when he came by. they couldn't imagine he had a connection to the right-wing scene. he succeeded in living this double life if he is the killer. brent: what are you hearing from authorities? are they saying this could be the beginning or the part of a fresh series of right-wing killings? there are warnings across germany for all kinds of minorities at the moment, to be on guard. tessa: obviously, we should not make any assumptions just yet.

the investigations are ongoing. some people might think of another group when they are thinking about this. they killed a few foreign people in germany in the past. there was the idea of a connection between combat 18 and this group. nothing is clear so far. we don't know if the alleged perpetrator acted on his own or in an organization. this remains to be seen in the next few days. brent: my colleague, tessa walther, outside the home of walter luebcke in hesse. the far right, anti-immigration afd party suffered defeat in a mayoral election in the city of gurlitz. located in the east of

the country. it was the work by many parties to prevent them coming into power. the vote is seen as a possible indicator of how german states might go this coming september. >> it was a close call, but in the end, conservatives were able to breathe a sigh of relief. with the support of other mainstream parties, the candidate of angela merkel's party managed to prevent the election of the first afd mayor and eastern german town of gorlitz. both candidates of the green and left party dropped out of the race to put their weight behind him and against the afd candidate who won the first round of elections last month. >> the majority has chosen an open society. that is very clear. i have also said, it is an important task to listen to those who did not vote for me. >> the far right parties

candidate is trying hard not to look disappointed. the contest was seen as a t -- key test, who are looking to win their first mayoral post in germany. >> it was not quite enough in the end, but ultimately, it was not a vote for him, it was against the afd candidate. against me. >> i had of the vote, even hollywood actors and producers had warned against voting for the afd, fearing that filmmakers might stop coming to the picturesque town for the many films set in its center. >> i am happy with today's result. it is also a signal to the outside world that this is really the european city we call ourselves. >> there are many things i don't like about the afd. right now, it is the party that understands the people and their concerns. >> the outcome of sunday's municipal election was being closely watched. state elections in september are

excited serve as a for the barometer of the political atmosphere in the former case. brent: here are some of the other stories making headlines around the world. 12 migrants have drowned after their boat sank off the coast of turkey. officials say the boat capsized in the aegean sea and the greek island. 30 migrants are pulled out alive from the water. it is not clear what caused it to sink. the defense ministers of france, germany and spain have signed an agreement to design a cutting edge of fighter jet for use in european air forces. the deal was signed on the sidelines of the paris air show. it is part of a larger plan to unify european military forces and to reduce dependence on u.s. warplanes. to hong kong, where protesters have been -- turned out in large numbers to demand the resignation of the territories leader, carrie lam. she is backed by beijing and she sparked a wave of demonstrations

with our plans for in a tradition law that would have made it easier to hand over suspects to mainland china. activists gathered outside government headquarters after a weekend of massive popular protests. >> as night fell, hong kong's on activists were staying put. they gathered outside the office of the city's leader, carrie lam, do demand -- to demand her resignation. the satan is the latest move in a crisis over a controversial extradition bill that would allow suspects to be sent to mainland china for trial. lam promised to suspend law, but protesters wanted withdrawn completely. earlier on monday, joshua wong, a prominent activist was released from prison. he merely voices supports -- support of the protesters' demand. >> suspension of the evil law is not enough because we are not

sure what it will reactivate again. that is why we urge for full withdrawal. apologizing is not enough, she ordered police and around police to hold their guns at people. just applying what beijing did in 1989. copy what happened and tiananmen square. hong kong is such a modern city. she is not capable anymore. how can the leader of the government allow police to hold their guns toward people. that is really terrible. >> a massive protest on sunday, possibly hong kong's largest ever, bolted in apology from lam two wanted to push the bill through. sources close to her say even if they wanted to step down, beijing would be unlikely to let her, fearing that would result in even more stability -- instability. chinese authorities reiterated their support for her.

>> the chinese government, the central government, is always fully affirmed the work of chief executive carrie lam and the hong kong government. the central government will continue to fully support the chief executive and her administration's governing in accordance with the law. >> for the protesters, her close relationship with beijing is at the center of their fears that their rights are being eroded. with them, the freedoms that the term -- they are determined to protect. brent: to iran now, and rising tensions over the country's nuclear program. tehran says it is speeding up uranium enrichment and will exceed the limit of uranium stockpiles agreed to in the 2015 nuclear deal. it says it will do that beginning in 10 days. iran has threatened to enrich uranium beyond the levels of loud -- allowed by that nuclear deal. the deal has been facing collapse since the united states

withdraw -- withdrew one year ago and reimposed economic sanctions. leaders are urging iran to be patient and abide by the terms of the agreement. >> any escalation is a step in the wrong direction. it won't help iran or the international community we will do all we can. with our partners to dissuade iran and find a potential path to dialogue. >> i still think the situation is extremely explosive. military confrontation in the golf would mean the whole region would be on fire. nobody can interested in that, and it is not enough for me that everyone says they don't want war. they have to prove they don't want more. that means that everyone must take active steps towards de-escalation. brent: that was the german foreign minister there. at least 30 people have died in a triple suicide bombing in

nigeria. authorities are suggesting the islamist militants boko haram might be behind the attack. the suicide bombings took place in a small village in northeast nigeria. that is where government forces have struggled to rain and a spike in terrorist activity. >> the morning after a tragedy, people gathered at the scene, trying to make sense of the night before. three separate explosions damaged shrapnel and look buildings in the area. suicide bombers struck outside a sports hall, where people had gathered to watch a soccer game. the group of mostly teenagers did not know what was going on. >> we were all here and we heard a loud sound. we were confused and wanted to know what it was. people were running everywhere. later we learned that people died, some were wounded. we stayed behind to clean up,

then we left. i lost a friend. >> dozens of people were also wounded. three of them remain in serious condition in hospital. the explosions reportedly took place within a minute of each other, around 8:00 p.m. the scene on the night was so chaotic local authorities say they could not get through the military lockdown to assist the situation. they had to return the next day. >> all of our efforts, we could not. this morning, we tried our best. it still took a few hours to get access. a lot of casualties. >> no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but officials say it is the work of boko haram, the terrorist organization and this islamic state splitter group have

carried out numerous attacks, targeting civilians and military, claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. brent: serving the internet is not easy. in cuba, the island was one of the last countries in the world to allow its citizens to go online and it is still lagging behind much of the world when it comes to internet access. less than 1% of cubans have broadband internet at home. when 3g mobile intimate -- internet was announced, it was greeted like joy. that joy has given way to frustration at the slow and costly service. cubans have started a campaign in protest. dw is carl nasman is here. he is here to talk about this. talk about the protests. carl: mobile internet and cuba is not cheap right now. for four gigabytes, that cost 25

euros. the average cuban makes 25 euros per month. that is your entire monthly salary gone for mobile internet. cubans are staging a protest on twitter. they are saying the government needs to lower the cost of the internet. here are some of those voices coming out of cuba. one cuban says, my mother has never connected to the internet. she has a remote idea that's of the called twitter or facebook or google exists. that is only from reading newspapers and watching tv. the socialist prices from cuba are completely prohibitive. another cuban did some research on these prices and he claims the internet in the himalayas is cheaper than in cuba. he found a nepalese company that charges around nine dollars for 16 gigabytes. that is $.57 per gigabyte. cuban internet is 36 times more expensive.

cuba's government run internet agency has been responding. they said, we have to build this from scratch. given the u.s. economic embargo, that is not a cheap or easy endeavor. in cuba, public protests are very rare. you face arrests or jail time if you speak out against the government. it is interesting to see what this mobile internet, this is giving cubans a safer and easier way to making their displeasure known to the government. brent: how are they getting around these high costs? they don't earn a lot of money. >> a lot of cubans say we sacrifice and we save up. there are a lot of cubans living abroad, and miami. they will send money to cuba. they say, we will give you 30 bucks. we want to talk to you. we spoke with one of the protesters in cuba.

we won't use his name or voice for safety reasons. he told us despite high costs, the internet has opened up a lot of doors. >> the internet is a powerful tool. i can know what is happening, when it is happening. that is new for me in every cuban. before the internet, that was impossible. now we have access to international and independent cuban media. it is good to know what is going on and what the state is hiding from us, which is a lot. >> he also told us he believes that the government is monitoring this new mobile network. brent: what about mobile internet? how is that changing life in cuba? it is hard to put a wall around that. >> this is something we take for granted. they now have phones in their pocket. they have the internet. they're using this to navigate some of the daily challenges they face. one example. it can be hard to get your hands on things like diapers or even meet.

this is a what's at -- whatsapp group. users share pictures of long food lines and share tips of where you might find something like diapers or coca-cola. cubans organized relief efforts on facebook after the disaster struck in january. we ticket for granted. it is still too expensive for most cubans. >> eventually those prices will come down. it's just a matter of when. thank you. brent: the paris air show started today. it is the largest showcase for the aviation and aerospace industries. safety concerns persist around boeings 737 max 8 at that has created a vacuum that is quickly being filled by airbus. >> the smell of jet fuel is once again in the air around the are space industry's biggest event, both for military and commercial flight.

the ideal setting to talk about boeings next project. a smaller come along: aircraft built with fuel efficiency in mind. the idea is to make the most distant flights profitable at lower capacities. >> we can fly from northeastern asia into south asia. sapporo-delhi, for example. we can fly from the middle east, down to bali. we can fly from japan, deep into australia, across the atlantic, d from europe into north america and vice versa. >> a frontal attack on billing, which is also developing a plane in the same sector. their archrival is in desperate need of a win. its moneymaking 737 max 8 remains grounded worldwide after two fatal crashes. boeing is now battling for interpretation. -- its reputation. >> we are committed to learning

from this and we have teams working 24-seven to make sure we are meeting the needs and priorities of our regulators and customers around the globe. >> france, germany and spain used the air show to launch their nest -- next generation fighting jet, and air combat system that incorporates drones and satellites. never before has such political uncertainty surrounded the showcase. the looming departure from the eu could thoroughly spanner into the works of europe's tightly integrated aerospace industry. another thought the company u.s., who threatened tariffs on airbus, which would be a disaster for everyone in the words of airbus chief. after a short break, i will be back to take you through the day. stick around.
