9:05 am
after the deadline norway rejected the federal offices read mission request meaning that germany became responsible for this now in procedure this happens at a time when increased number of asylum seekers had already arrived in germany and the federal office placed enormous challenges well we're starting to unravel what is then a tangled web of of mistakes bureaucratic mistakes that led to made a the main suspect in friday speight all stopping even being here in germany we know that he arrived in germany back in twenty fifteen he had no identification and was clearly according to authorities suffering from mental illness mental problems he couldn't be deported at that point back to norway his fingerprints were checked they revealed who he was that he'd applied for asylum in norway that he'd been rejected he could have been sent back immediately he wasn't he missed that deadline and norway effectively said he's your problem right now the federal migration

authorities they've said they were overwhelmed by the numbers at that time we're also hearing from the federal prosecutors that in the time he was here in germany he was able to self radicalized that he didn't tended on dying as a martyr in that attack on friday afternoon in a supermarket in hamburg he took a or it's he's the main suspect the only suspect in taking a knife from the display in the supermarket removing the packaging and then launching a brutal attack against a fifty year old man who died at the scene seven other people were wounded as well it's raising a lot of questions over the at the regulations placed on my currents and knowing just who is where and who has the responsibility to deal with whom. a suicide bombers targeted a nato convoy in the afghan city of kandahar the night. lead mission in the country confirmed the attack and that it caused casualties a car packed with explosives was driven into the convoy outside kandahar airport
9:07 am
which is home to a major military base for international troops no further details about the casualties have been released. with the recent reports the u.s. government's afghanistan watchdog has warned that the security situation is deteriorating fast with armed clashes between afghan forces and taliban militants it also points out a recent rise in high profile attacks the documents cites figures released by the us secretary general in june this year. will the same watchdogs urge the pentagon and sue declassify a report detailing allegations of child sex abuse by afghan forces but currently whatever's concealed in the potentially sensational report remains a secret as jacqueline booga reports. the report was concerned that they gave of sexual abuse of children by members of the afghan security forces because it's classified much of the information on which the sego report is based the report is classified sego has requested that the declassify the reports so dark secrets will
9:08 am
remain secret for now but it's not the first time such allegations of afghan soldiers were raping young boys have surfaced. yeah. they don't. believe a. vote this is. a show that was there. and that's there there is unfortunately little proof for these crimes available back in two thousand and fourteen human rights groups claimed abusers were often paying bribes to hide their crimes and in two thousand and fifteen reports surfaced that american military personnel were being told to look the other way in order to maintain good relations with afghan units why does this
9:09 am
truly explosive information remain classified by the pentagon one possible explanation is the leahy law the process through which u.s. government that's foreign security forces as well as defense training programs to ensure recipients have not committed human rights abuses. in other words break human rights laws and there's no more money and that could prove tricky in afghanistan where over the last fifteen years washington's pumped in over seven hundred billion dollars and they're not planning to stop any time soon twenty seventeen is going to be another tough year for the value of afghan security forces and the international troops move good and will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder i do believe it will involve additional forces to ensure that we can. make the advise and assist mission more more effective the presence yet to define his afghan policy many hope human rights will trump war. r.t. washington d.c.
9:10 am
. well we've discussed the issue with analysts who believe the information is effectively being protected. what we're saying is various abuses various things sometimes just even the lack of success that the united states has inside of afghanistan is something they did american people don't see i think the american people just turned away crime is perpetuated if you don't cover it if you don't address those issues it's simply expands the potential for more crimes to be conducted against people and frankly when you see this happen when you see people being abused in theaters around the world and the americans are involved at least in the theater it provides the perception that the americans are responsible for it obviously because it would be embarrass the afghan government. you know this is a great respect to the u.s. government of this. distribution the story was covering up nobody

wanted to know the government doesn't want the u.s. doesn't want people to be all rules. these. crimes. and these studies found online searches for methods of suicide have risen sharply following the release of the hit netflix series thirteen reasons why the controversial show tells the story of a girl who takes her own life and points the finger at who's to blame but it's generated huge concern among parents and psychologists in new zealand the show was slapped with an a.t.m. citic it while in austria two school girls trying to kill themselves but their teachers managed to stop them at the last minute reports suggest that the suicide attempts were inspired by thirteen reasons why. hey it's hannah. hannah baker. settling because i'm about to tell you the story of my life.
9:12 am
more specifically why my life ended. and if you're listening to this tape. you're one of the reasons why in the u.s. two families blame the series for driving their children to suicide we spoke to the father of a girl who hanged herself just before his sixteenth birthday he says his daughter suffered from depression and the netflix show pushed her over the edge. the show acted. like there's a word in psychology it's called a trigger that means that you react to something by her meds and it triggers a response with you that left my daughter. feeling worse than she had before this is not the way it's supposed to be my daughter should be alive today i should be able to hold her in my arms should be able to care for her i should be able to hear her laugh but now i can't she's just gone she's gone from me forever.
9:13 am
more pain and gauge reaction in new york to the impact of the netflix series. nineteen days after the program was released google searches for suicide related topics increased by more than twenty percent that means roughly nine hundred thousand to one point five million more than usual from phrases like suicide hotline or teen suicide or more worrying phrases like how to kill yourself all of them are on the rise i've seen multiple psychiatric admission knows that it detailed the presenting problem of why the teen is is there being one a couple of times them saying that they wanted to kill themselves in the way that the girl from thirteen reasons why did suicide prevention experts are warning that the show is kind of romanticizing suicide and unhealthy relationships all of which could lead to copycat behavior among teenagers or teenagers who in general are
9:14 am
still developing the ability to regulate their emotions and their desires for those teens and especially those who have already perhaps contemplated suicide a series like thirteen reasons why can be problematic let's ask people how concerned they are are you a parent yes i am a part would you allow your son or daughter to watch this this new program with a company of apartments where you know if you put something to somebody's head and they already had that thought it might be encouraging but you can't control what people are going to do they might hear it on the street they might hear it in school you know that you never know i mean just because they hear from you doesn't mean it's your fault if you were a parent would you allow your child your children to watch that show louis i would absolutely because i want them to experience well life is all about the ups the downs the ugly the good all records should show that i reckon that people should be able to handle those types of the space to be honest ok are you a parent. now if you were a parent do you think you would allow your son or daughter to watch that show or
9:15 am
have a different view if i was a parent the producers of these shows need to be socially and ethically responsible for what they're putting out and. at bare minimum that means that before if it's netflix for example before and after each episode in the series they need to put places for where they can get help such as the suicide prevention lifeline they need to be doing that at a bare minimum so that if a child vulnerable child gets triggered during the episode that they know where they can go to turn for help now netflix says they welcome more research as they prepare the next season but parents are asking themselves is there really enough of a reason that we wouldn't want our children to be exposed to such shows. artsy new york. and this kind of mentions netflix responded to us about the study's findings and also told us the show was intended to promote discussion of a difficult subject however the father we spoke to told us there are other ways to
9:16 am
highlight the sensitive issue i think that there are ways to show it i think that there are ways that that it can be done that a positive note but never in a way that was that like this never in a way that retreated in such a dark and desperate situation the fact is that netflix does not care what the medical profession has to say they don't care what educators have to say they don't even care what parents have to say on netflix cares about is making money from this show is not acceptable and this needs to stop we still have a voice as consumers are just as citizens we have a voice we do have power to make change. the concerns i have a police brutality in the us all flaring up once again details on that story after this break.
9:17 am

9:19 am
prisons tend to go unreported and people end up in the jail who've been brutalized and then that brutality continues in the jails and into the prisons it's kind of like a whole system from beginning to end that is dominated by brutality and the only issue is in the prisons or the jails we it's not as visible we can't see it as well and so we don't typically get access to these types of videos jailers have enormous power the head jailer which is the sheriff in this case has to be a vailable watching his staff at all times he has to be monitoring their conduct because you know people with absolute power abuse it absolutely and so it's really he the that the sheriff is saying that he wasn't even knowledgeable about what his own staff was doing i think it's reprehensible he should resign. the latest world swimming championships in budapest where a successful russia or won four medals among them her fifth career gold and we
