brent: tonight i palestinian gunmen has reportedly shot dead several israelis during -- near a synagogue. police are engaging right now with the suspect. also coming up, the u.s. bracing for the release of graphic footage of police brutality. the image is expected to show

five police officers beating a 29-year-old black man who died three days later. all five of the officers have been fired. they have been charged with murder. and u.s. and german battle tanks are on their way to help fight the ukrainian invasion. and germany remembers the victims of the holocaust with a ceremony focusing on those who were persecuted for their sexual orientation under the nazis. ♪ i'm brent goff. to those of you and everyone else around the world, welcome. israeli officials are saying that seven people have been killed after gunmen opened fire outside and east jerusalem synagogue. several others have been wounded and are in critical condition.

the shooting took place in a jewish neighborhood. israeli police are describing it as a terror attack. they say suspected gunman has now been killed. this is the deadliest attack in years. the incident raises the likelihood of further bloodshed one week after troops killed nine people during a raid in the west bank. now to the united states, a call for calm. in a few hours, police in memphis, tennessee plan to release bodycam footage of a confrontation between police officers and tyre nichols. he died days after he was savagely beaten during a traffic stop. five former police officers have been charged with second-degree murder. the family says he was kicked, punched, and tasered one block

away from his home. all of the officers were fired last week. earlier i spoke with our correspondent in washington. he told us more about the circumstances of the death of tyre nichols in memphis. >> as far as we know and we don't know everything because we have not seen the video and the police were not entirely forthcoming about what happened that evening, the seventh of january as you said at 8:30 p.m. local time. tyre nichols was stopped because of suspected reckless driving. then there was an altercation, a confrontation apparently when police minimum five officers tried to get him out of the car. mr. nichols fled on foot. they identified him later. we have no idea about the

timeline how much later and how far from the original confrontation. then it came to a second apprehension and with that confrontation. where according to the family, mr. nichols was beaten to a pulp. with according to the police chief who spired -- who fired the police officers quickly after seeing the video which the press has not. where the police officers basically through any rule and humanity out of the window. and they hurt mr. nichols soda -- so badly that three days later, he expired in the hospital due to excessive bleeding and the beating. brent: the family of terry nichols has gone public and lead

with the public to remain calm once the video is released. we are hearing from a lot of people even the chief of police in memphis saying that what people will see is more than appalling. they are saying is worse than the rodney king videos that people might remember from los angeles back in the 1990's. are we looking violence this friday night? >> absolutely possible. not only did police in memphis are on high alert, not only this city is on the edge, that is across the nation. the fbi has informed all field offices to be on alert. all sheriff's office and county across the united states. every police department knows about what happened and is on high alert. they're preparing for whatever will happen. is the possibility therefore

severe violence in the streets in memphis or in other places? yes. the family and everybody else really appeals to the public to stay calm. nobody wants to see what happened in minneapolis in 2020. burning streets and a neighborhood entirely destroyed. the potential for that is absolutely there. it's not about race. the skin color is off the table because all of the police officers were black. it is now about managing and containing anger against police. police structures, the lack of police reform. everybody is definitely very tense and on high alert. brent: this developing story coming out of memphis, tennessee. thank you. now to ukraine.

baltimore zelenskyy is requesting fighter jets. poland said it would support that. german chancellor olaf scholz has drawn a redline with supplying kyiv with any combat aircraft. germany confirmed it will send tanks to ukraine after weeks of reluctance on that issue. >> the tanks will be delivered against russia. then it is bad. what did the germans have to do with it? there helping ukraine. that's bad. why? why should they help ukraine?

such moves will only escalate the conflict. those who are interested in seeing the conflict and and peace in ukraine are counting on negotiations. we see that our western partners have an interest in this conflict going on as long as possible. >> then they say they don't get involved directly in the conflict. africa doesn't interfere, latin america, they don't send anything. but if you send tanks and soldiers, then you are directly taking part. >> i am italian and i think that is very bad. the more you give, the worse it gets. if we want understanding, this is the wrong way. for me, as an italian, this is a

big mistake. a very big mistake. >> this conflict has to end. that is the question for the military experts. if the tanks help to solve that, that is wonderful. >> it's about the global debate. maybe someone benefits from it. if everyone wanted to end the war, it would be over in one day. they don't want that so that's why they deliver tanks. >> earlier i spoke with the former pentagon insider. he gave me his take on ukraine's calls for u.s. fighter jets. >> there has been a request for fighter jets for a number of months now and that has been under active consideration here

in washington as well as in allied capitals. many people think about it as being f-16s that would go. frankly in considering meeting that request from zelenskyy, former soviet owed -- aircraft would be better from poland or other allies who have the former soviet equipment and their all circles. these aircraft are very good. ukraine has flown them before, it can support and we need to turns that first and it might be in order for ukraine's to fly them, they could give up their former soviet aircraft. we wouldst have to wait to see. brent: what about the german chancellor who said that would be a redline? would germany have leverage if we were talking about soviet era

fighter jets? >> >> no. really the nations that would have the most at stake and would have to put together a deal like this would be the united states if we were to backfill with f-16s to the countries that would provide zelenskyy with former soviet aircraft. for the chancellor, he will be a bystander in this one. brent: where you see things moving? spring is coming in terms of this russian offensive. the russian military, have they been able to regroup at all and are they capable right now of pushing further or more deeply into ukraine? >> that's what we're going to see in the next few months. for the past number of months, certainly since the summer,

russia has been mobilizing forces. they are not trained forces. the first had some experience, but what we're seeing now is young men coming in from russia who are not well trained, not equipped and they are not even sure what they are doing in ukraine to begin with. yes russia is beginning to build backup. there also bringing in more equipment and there is an expectation that come this spring if not the late winter that there could be a russian offensive and it could be the russians are going to speed up the launching of this offensive if they think these tanks are going to come in and they want to beat them to the punch with their offensive. you know that -- brent: we appreciate your time.

on this day january 27 78 years ago, soviet soldiers liberated the auschwitz camp in poland. every year the ceremony is held for the remembrance of those under nazi tyranny. this year, focus was placed on those who were targeted because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. >> ceremony for those who suffered under the nazis, to understand and learn from history. rosetta born jewish in 19 42 survived the holocaust only because her family left her with another couple. >> i was afraid. i didn't understand what

happened to my parents. i didn't understand why anyone would want to murder them. what does jewish mean? she spoke of how the nazis hatred destroyed the lives of many groups also. what i learned as a small child many members of gendered sexual minorities had to learn before and after 1945. because when people have to hide away and deny who they are, it makes them sick. among the stories presented, that of carl a-game i -- a gay man. this was the first time the german parliament has dedicated its annual commemoration to

those persecuted on the ground of sexuality or gender identity. this recognition is overdue. >> the queer community has fought for decades that the persecution of queer people in the third rise would finally be remembered and that we would finally talk about the crimes that were committed by the nazis. thousands of homosexual people killed or who came to the concentration camps and the horrors continued after the nazi time as well in germany because after 1945 homosexuality was still a crime it was still very difficult to talk about. >> >> it's incredibly important

to talk about marginalized groups. we can no longer exclude people on the basis of their color or sexual orientation. these are the people who were sent to the camps because they were marginalized as different. who were in the concentration camps were treated as deviant. if they were extremely lucky, they were barred from giving testimony. this took such a long time that there is no longer anyone alive who could testify in the bundestag. i am extreme the proud and happy that it has happened today. it is too late, but it is still very important and liberating. brent: i want to touch on your research as a historian. to what extent did the fate of juice -- jews worse than if they

were homosexuals? were they treated worse by their captors? >> absolutely. before 1939, jews were persecuted because they were queer, so-called antisocial, and something similar as opposed to queer men and queer women. after 1941, the nazis started with a systematic implementation of the holocaust. the jews who were deported, if they got into concentration camps if they survived the selection and auschwitz or elsewhere, for them it meant something different because people in position of power can engage in same-sex sexuality but

what's interesting is how the survivors will recall only the men. brent: it's interesting the way people are identified particularly homosexuals. let's take what we saw happening, the brutality happening under the nazis. we know that lgbt groups activist groups have praised the german parliament for being so inclusive in today ceremony. at the same time all around the world, we are seeing increases in violence hate crimes aimed at people in the lgbtq community. it almost seems we are moving in reverse. is that what is happening? brent: i'm afraid -- >> i'm afraid you are completely right. i have dual citizenship and it was extremely shocking to see what happened in the gay bar

were nationalistic murderer shot two young queer people. afterwards a number of politicians failed to acknowledge that this was homophobic crime. this was hate crime. we were very few politicians you spoke about it openly and even the check prime minister failed to acknowledge it. only under pressure from the public he acknowledged it. in germany it took a long time before we had gay marriage they had in the u.k. for much longer. i am extremely worried that the historical development we have seen in the last seven years with the election of trump, the alternative truth and the backlash is throwing us backward and therefore i welcome the development of bundestag. it is a reminder that democracies are in all of our

hands and we need to do better more than just a bit. brent: everyone needs to do their bit because the people who will remember today are no longer with us. as you said, there are no more gay men or liz beans -- liz b ends living. we don't have a history of being forgotten but history can be sentimental eyes and chopped into bits that takes away the meaning. recently a book was burned in some libraries, people will have a fuzzier gentler holocaust. we need to engage even with the

history, in germany you had the -- who went after historians who remind them what really happened in 1933. i hope that after being seen on this, i will not be sued myself. therefore i think the role of historians as public educators is important. brent: we appreciate you taking the time to speak with us. that's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. azerbaijan has evacuated its embassy after a shooter opened fire on the building killing the security chief. the attacker was subdued. the president announced the act is terrorism and demanded an investigation. polls in the czech republic have opened.

the campaign has been marked by disinformation and controversial comments over the war in ukraine. a gas explosion has destroyed a four-story house in southern poland killing seven people. two children were among those pulled from the rubble. several say the blast was likely sparked by a gas-fired. residents in auckland have been forced to evacuate. rescue services battled through chest high waters rescue people who were trapped by the floods. it is expected to last several more days. we start at the field hockey world cup in india where germany are through to the final after a dramatic match with australia.

they will play belgium in the final. it will be germany's first final in many years. this year's world cup has not been a very memorable one for the host india. they crashed out of the tournament before the quarterfinal stage. it is a fall from grace for a country that has dominated hockey leading to a reckoning with the sport in india. >> indian hockey is open for a new dawn. the hope these youngsters will help capture the former glory. field hockey used to be india's national sport before it was taken over by cricket. they want to train up a new generation of hockey stores -- hockey stars. >> my game has improved a lot. initially i didn't even know how to hold a hockey stick.

with help, i keep learning every day. this place is known as the cradle of hockey and for good reason. the village has produced 14 olympic hockey players over the years. among them, he was part of india's bronze medal team in 1968. >> you have to think in the present. that is where we have gone wrong. this is the only game in the world where you can say that everything will change. >> in the good old days, india's men one six straight goals. the last was in 1980 and since then, interest in hockey has declined. one former player believes the

sport is worth fighting for. with the domination, willpower, and if you work from the heart, then nobody can stop you from being successful. that is the message these youngsters are taking on board in a country where olympic gold is the benchmark for that success. >> let's take a look at other sports stories making headlines. in tennis, nebo djokovic is through. he will now face his opponent in sunday's final. he will also be looking to equal the total rent slams of rafael nadal. does champions have sacked their coach. the former coach only took over

last summer after the departure of the successor to manchester united. here's a reminder of the top stories. israeli officials say seven people have been killed in a shooting near and east jerusalem synagogue. they say the suspected gunman has been killed. the u.s. is bracing for the release of footage showing the beating of tyre nichols by police. it is expected to show five officers beating him at a traffic stop earlier this month. he eventually died from his injuries. all five officers have been charged with murder. you can always get dw news on the goat just download our app from google play or the app store. that will give you access to the latest news from around the world as well as notifications for breaking news. you're watching dw news.

>> welcome to live from paris. your your headlines. israel's foreign ministry says seven people have been killed in a shooting at a synagogue on the outskirts of jerusalem. the attack coming monday after 10 palestinians were killed in the occupied west bank. we get the latest live from drew loose -- live from jerusalem. elsewhere, america is bracing itself for the release of a graphic police video which shows a 29-year-old black man who died following an altercation. police officers have been

arrested, charged with murder per the city is preparing for protests. sorry fivers mark this up -- survivors mark the anniversary of the liberation of the auschwitz death camp. germany highlighting the often overlooked lgbtq+ victims of the holocaust. ♪ it is good to have you with us. our top story, at least seven people have been killed and 10 injured after a gunman stormed a synagogue on the outskirts of jerusalem. this, according to israel's foreign minister. israeli police describe it as a terror attack. the u.s. has condemned the attack and said it did not expect the incident to affect

antony blinken's trip to israel next week. let's cross lived to jerusalem. reports of seven people killed so far, what more can you tell us? >> i can tell you they had left the synagogue after friday night prayers. the sabbath prayer. they we staing close together, which is why when the young palestinian men -- man drove up in his car and got out, armed with a handgun, he was able to mow down so many because he fired indiscriminately. seven dead at the moment. more injured, three seriously, being operated on currently at hospitals in jerusalem. he then tried to escape when his gun jammed. he tried to escape the scene. there was a chase and police finally shot him at a roadblock a little bit further down the road. not far from the scene.

>> this attack comes the day after israeli troops killed 10 people in the west bank. a hamas spokesperson has said the two are linked. is there any official confirmation of that? >> we have only heard people saying there is no official confirmation. we do not know what was going through this young man's mind. no militant group has claimed credit so far. we do not know enough about him to know who he was affiliated with. we had seen celebrations, some celebrations by palestinians in gaza. in jenin where attacks took place and where rocket fire came from yesterday. we have also seen some celebrations in towns around east jerusalem. i would say that even if there was not a direct link, palestinians are making that link. the ones who are celebrating come at any rate. not all palestinians are celebrating.

>> a lot of people would think we have been down this road before, haven't we? quite often it happens where there is a counter protest to some action from either side, and that ends up with a cycle of violence. the u.n. today called for that cycle of violence to be ended. relations appear to be there most tense in a long time. >> we have not been reporting the level of violence that has been happening here because there have been daily raids. daily israeli military raids inside the west bank. this month of january -- this year is 27 days old and more than -- palestinians have been killed. there are funerals happening in the west bank daily. that has a cost. there are palestinian attacks against israeli soldiers and against israeli settlements in the west bank. tonight, we see this terrible attack on a synagogue. there is definitely an escalation. i would say it has been going on

for some months, perhaps since the last spate of attacks inside israel in april and may of last year. we're talking about nine months of escalation. low, but persistent. the number of palestinians who have died has been the largest for 20 years. so yes, people have seen it before, but really it has never gone away. there are quiet periods, but because there is no solution to the conflict, never a peace deal, never peace talks, everything just keeps going on in the same way in the conflict is managed by the israelis. and there is no resolution. that is why we keep seeing outbursts of violence. >> israel's newly formed government by many as being described as possibly the most right wing that israel has ever had. can we expect more in the

future? >> interesting question for it doot know the answer. generally, there has always been an israeli military sponsor of some kind. i do not know what extra steps this right-wing government would take. analysts talking tonight, saying this may actually be the test of this government. there was a lot of talk talking before the elections. would anything be different now? or, more of the same. the same conflict being managed, yet never resolved. >> we have seen massive protests in israel over the last couple of weeks. netanyahu trying to push for that push through a reform of the legal system. that took a lot of political air. is that likely to retake the focus of the israeli public, or

are they likely to focus on reform for democracy in israel? >> interesting question. i think this will be a moment for a shift in focus. if the government continues with its plans, which i said it will come as long as the government continues with these legal plans for what they are calling a legal overhaul, and what others are calling illegal overthrow, if they continue, i think the public will continue with its protests. the domestic issue, this kind of attack does take the oxygen out of the debate for the moment. but, they will revert to it because it is so very serious. >> for viewers who do not understand the difference between how israel reacts to palestinians in the east and palestinians in the south, i want to touch on the raid yesterday. rockets were fired from the gaza strip into israel, intercepted by the iron dome system. israel responded with airstrikes.

how does israel response differ between the gaza strip and the occupied west bank? >> that's an interesting question. i had not thought about it like that before. there are more deadly attacks that come out of gaza into israel. at times, there are dozens of rockets fired. that was not the case yesterday. but there is a pattern that has been set up where hamas fires rockets into israel and israel, which has in theory left the gaza strip, does not have a military presence there anymore. it doesn't enter with ground troops. it then fires rockets at hamas. that has been a process that has gone on since israel left the gaza strip in 2005. that is what we have seen over the past 15 years. so, they do not do airstrikes in the west bank.

and in a way, they do not need to. they can do military raids if they need, as stated in jenin, which they said was a counterterrorism operation. israel said they went in because they had intelligence of an imminent, militant attack from the palestinians, from jihad militant groups. that is why seven of the nine people killed were gunmen from islamic jihad. that is why the rockets were fired back from islamic jihad, which has a base in gaza, and were fired -- took credit for the rocket fire, saying it was warning israel. i guess that is part of the difference. israel does not have a presence in gaza anymore, and it has citizens in the west bank. >> thank you for breaking that out for us. holocaust memorial day, reaction has been pouring in. we heard from the u.k. foreign minister saying -- is horrific. the u.s. responding, reacting

after the shooting. take a listen to the smoke -- the spokesperson for the state department. >> this is absolutely horrific. our thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to those killed and injured in this heinous act of violence. we condemn this apparent terrorist attack in the strongest terms. our commitment to israel's security remains ironclad and we are in direct touch with our israeli partners and our thoughts are with the israeli people in light of this horrific attack. >> anthony lincoln is set to visit israel next week where -- is not going to affect his plans. what more can the u.s. do to stop this violence? >> does not just the u.s.. the director of the cia is apparently also in the region today. which weid not know officially.

but i heard from a couple of sources. there is a big american presence. there is a calming presence from egypt. no one wants an escalation at the moment. particularly not if the u.s. secretary of state is here. interestingly, he was not coming for this. he was coming to prepare for netanyahu's trip to washington, which takes place next month. so, he has been caught up in this cycle of violence. he also will discuss, by the way, the plans netanyahu has for this legal overhaul. there is always stress in dealings between israel and the u.s., between washington and jerusalem, on the shared values. one of those is democracy. democracy is what people feel is under threat if netanyahu succeeds with this extensive legal overhaul. that is going to be discussed,

so is the escalation in violence. there is no doubt the u.s. would like to see -- or does not want to see this now. and of course, appropriation -- a preparation for net and yahoo!'s visit. >> thank you for joining me. skidmore reaction from the u.s. we go to washington, d.c. with david smith. what more can you tell us about how the u.s. is taking this latest shooting? >> certainly others have echoed the condemnation you heard from the spokesperson r the state department. kathy hochul, th governor of new york, also made that link to international holocaust remembrance day and just how painful this incident is on saturday where we have also seen the second gentleman of the united states, doug emhoff, husband of vice president harris, was in auschwitz taking pa in this holocaust day

commemorations. we will certainly see more reaction from senators and members of congress, and perhaps joe biden, in the coming hours. as things stand, it is not appear secretary of state antony blinken's visit to the region is going to go ahead. he was due to be in egypt on sunday, then the west bank monday and tuesday, meeting benjamin netanyahu and the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas. potentially ahead of netanyahu's visit to washington. also, bill burns of the cia making a surprise visit. recently, we had jake sullivan, national security advisor, in the region. he's that his meeting was set to have been bleak. washington giving some priority to these issues, but still hard to make much progress. >> i want to ask you the same question i just asked aris. what more do you think washington can do to stop this

endless cycle of violence between palestinian people and israeli forces? >> there is no doubt it is extremely difficult. obviously this has been going on for decades. compounding the difficulty at this time is, does joe biden have the bandwidth? he came into office facing multiple crises and it international diplomacy. ukraine has eaten up so much time and energy. he also realizes that putting too much pressure on israel is seen as bad politics. on top of that, he is facing benjamin netanyahu, and a government with some very right wing figures. washington, as much as it can do, has raised concerns with israel over those right-wingers. i think antony blinken will probably convey that message

again. when biden and netanyahu come together, that will be a fascinating dynamic because donald trump would -- so ostentatiously made a show of being friendly with netanyahu. biden, while undoubtedly committed to israel, obviously has reservations about yahoo!'s politics -- netanyahu's politics. also, he sees iran as the biggest security threat in the region and israel is less of a priority. unlike the bill clinton era, i don't think you will see the time and energy spent on this issue at a time when ukraine and so much else is happening. >> expand on that more. trump made israel central to his foreign policy. one of his biggest achievements was the abraham accords. what difference are we likely to see from the biden

administration from trump? >> there has been some continuity. there is no real debate over moving the.s. embassy away from jerusalem. a tru move that was condemn the time. the abraham accords seem to be fairly stable. we are seeing israel formed some alliances with arab countries. the bite administration will support all of that i think, but at the same time, almost exclusively behind the scenes it will raise concerns over the direction of the -- the rightward direction of the israeli government, misgivings over nighttime raids. biden's support for two statef solution. we will see subtle pressures, t upfront it will be very much an ironclad alliance. >> david smith, thank you for

that analysis. staying in the u.s., america is bracing itself for the release of a graphic video which shows the arrest of 25-year-old tyre nichols. nicholas died three days later due to injuries sustained during the traffic stop by law enforcement in memphis, tennessee. lawyers say the video shows how he was tased, pepper spray to and savagely beat by police heard one law enforcement official calling it "appalling." the police officers involved have all been arrested and charged with murder. 10 of her business. -- time now for business. indian business empire donnie group has taken a beating the stock market. >> the group's listed companies lost $50 million in market value after u.s. invested -- investment firm in the burg research said it was shortselling setting firm over

debt, accounting fraud and market manipulation. it because the owners position on the world's richest list of fall. >> a disaster of public confidence. shares plummeted friday in the wake of this week's report from u.s.-based activist shorts other hindenburg research with five of seven listed firms down 16% to 20% and trading in the other two halted. released wednesday, the report accuses the sprawling indian conglomerate of widespread malfeasance, including stock price manipulation, misuse of offshore tax savings and decades of accounting fraud. claims the company denies. >> it is a malicious combination of selected misinformation, baseless and discredited allegations that have been tested and rejected by india's highest courts.

>> hindenburg has made its name and money betting against the stocks of companies it believes to be engaging in fraud. it says i donnie group has addressedone of the 88 questions in its report, inviting the company to follow through on its threat of legal action. >> if they are serious, it should also file suit in the u.s. where we operate. we have a long list of documents and we demand a legal discovery process. >> the report, drawing support from prominent u.s. had fun -- headphone manager bill ackman, landed on the eve of a stock offering. those shares ended friday, 11% below the company's minimum price. the founder is india's richest man, worth an estimated $120 billion. his companies have faced other accusations of fraud in recent years. >> let's have a look at how shares cap to week on wall street. all three indices finished up

with the nasdaq rising 1%. this after a fresh economic indicator from the commerce department showed inflation cools further in december. so did consumer spending. the u.k. finance minister has pushed back against bleak reports about the british economy and talk of a looming recession, saying they did not reflect the real situation. chancellor jeremy hunt admitted the country was going through tough times, but promised brexit would help bring in a new era of growth. -- hopes on cigna contest cut to be included and will be announced in mid-march. saying, he wanted britain to become a low tax economy. but with inflation running high, sound money must come fast. >> just this month, columnists from both left and right have talked about an existential crisis, britain teetering on the

edge. and that all we can hope for is that things do not get worse. i welcome the debate. the chancellors too or allow their say. i say something this, -- about britain has always been wrong. it is wrong today. >> that was the british finance minister speaking. >> think if that update. time for truth or fake. you have been looking into burkina faso where ai deepfakes have been making the rounds, urging people to back the military from top. >> -- calling for support for the junta and its leader, days after burkina faso ordered french troops to leave the country. we can see it looks like -- is set in a studio, although it is indeed a deep fake.

and all of these videos, we can see the flag. in the video they call themselves pan-african and americans from africa. the earliest instance we can find of this online was actually on facebook. it was shared by a pro-junta activist on facebook a couple of days ago. it then went on to circulate in burkina faso amongst groups before it eventually trickled down to twitter where it was reposted by several accounts, including this one. this account is named all eyes on wagner. the reason i am showing this one in particular is because many online accounts have linked -- support deepfakes just like this one, this researcher here has gone online to name drop -- head directly. however, it is important to know

we do not know who is behind this. there's not any evidence to connect these as of now. we have found no indication this has anything to do with the wagner group and it is difficult to pinpoint these videos and find out where they come from. >> how can we know these are truly deepfakes? are for these videos were made using an artificial intelligence software. let's take a look at their homepage. you may see a familiar face. this is the homepage. apologies for technical issues. this is of course the same woman we saw at the end of that same deepfake video. on their homepage they actually have avatars you can choose from to create -- from plaintext. these are all people be sought in the previous deepfake video, down to the close, the makeup, the hair. these are exactly the same. according to analysts, in order

to spot deepfake videos, there are things that can be done in order to help. if we look at this one, we saw the same avatar on the website. if we look at the eyes and mouth, the sound, she is speaking at her mouth is moving but the sound is not synced. her skin is very filtered. this does vary from deepfake to deepfake. some are better than others. this shadow under friction does not seem to move despite her head bobbing. her shoulders are stiff. quite jerky movements there. aside from that, people in the video claim to be americans. they say pan-africans and americans from africa, but their english is not that good. americans from africa would not phrase it like that in list. they would likely say

african-american. they also mispronounce burkina faso. overall, analysts say you must really look at the tone, context, what they are saying and how they are saying it. for a serious topic, this does come across quite hollow. >> this is not the first time we have seen deepfakes used for political reasons like this. >> notice not. we have seen similar situations circulate before just last year. if we take a look at this. this all began on a facebook page that at the time had around 86,000 subscribers. while it describes itself as a facebook page for musical content and news, it also specialized in sharing a specific type of disinformation, videos created using ai with robotics or computer-generated voiceover. it was designed to look like a tv news story.

this of course was a story from last year we discussed. in october last year, about molly and domestic politics. a lot of these were around targeting the french presence in the country at the time and it was made using the same ice -- the same ai software. >> that technology is terrifying. thank you for that. stay tuned, we are going to take a quick break. i will be back with a roundup of world headlines. ♪ >> revisiting the fight of -- the president of the association of peruvian women subject to forced sterilization in the 1990's. >> we have been fighting for years and we will continue until we get the truth, justice and compensation. >> she listens. >> these are the results of
