opposition figures say that this case shows the flaws in the current system in germany but i'm not surprised this is the most extraordinary case the most ridiculous case so to speak it's a failure of the system it's a failure of the government i think if the government really wanted to extradite people they could do it but they don't dare to do it because they're afraid of the left wing media. protest and their. so-called human rights organisations they protest against the bay even try to prevent physically the extradition of people the most recent statistics for this year show that more than half of deportation orders were carried out the most common reason for this is that when authorities turn up at the door address where somebody was supposed to live they're not there and they can't be found however that this year we've seen a sharp rise in the number of people who've avoided deportation after they
10:31 pm
physically resisted reaper ation of people that don't have the right to be here in germany is on the list for angela merkel on the tour around africa we have a situation now where not all problems have been solved especially deporting a still a big problem the security system also the judicial system has to make clear that there is an effective system of crime prevention. and there is also an if in fact a system in place of punishing committed crimes and not just coloring the situation beautiful lead by a percentage in statistics that was done by the interior minister posse home for claims that the security situation was better than ever since nine hundred ninety two but in chess took some statistics which did not really reflect the situation on the streets he left out all those cases that were reported to the police. but we're
10:32 pm
never really taken further because of lack of capacity on behalf of the police. next sunday sweden goes to the polls and it could prove to be a big electoral upset with right wing support on the rise crime has been a big factor in the campaign especially since a wave of arson attacks in which gangs have torch cars almost two thousand vehicles have been targeted in the country since january but the motive behind the attacks still hasn't been officially established clearly infuriated the swedish prime minister lashed out at the matthews being blamed for the arson. mostly custom have found the question has to be asked of those people. back were you doing what do you think you are born if you destroy the whole area of the neighborhood for the children on their way to preschool you have to see turns out cause we're going to cause they're mostly hard response from society any of this so should artie's maria from the ocean that visited one trouble district with local journalist chang frank
10:33 pm
who witnessed multiple attacks himself. or. was. there something that. the hollowness well of this noble source where we go. right now we're driving to the southern part of stockholm the swedish capital to one of the areas called by police as found the rebel area or especially vulnerable area or risk area how the prefer to lead but in the media very often they call these neighborhoods right now around sixty one of them officially stood by police as no go so and he with me says swedish journalist tang three thank you so much for being my knight. no guns are named in sweden seriously of course you can go dark. you will have
10:34 pm
a problem if you go there with the camera or if you're. from here is swedish vulnerable areas have been grabbing headlines over she teen in car burnings the latter has nearly doubled every ten years why do they burn the car and i think it's like to show police that there were called for all of the area not the police to go. lots of people angry and all because you know if you would want to because you have a parking lot with what the cause of or only put one coral fire of course it will spread to the next door and of. just a common thing that people leave those areas things yes as soon as they make some more money they move away immediately from the good old water kids to go into school here for others for. a spot but discussion is a true a lot if it's a little girl saw. some politician under so you give out for example social
10:35 pm
a. he called it no it's a go go also you know so he went to holland i used to live there are over he said with the police never figure out why they got out the day out of course. after the police car so they had to call for what you call the. truck to get to where the police go when he was stuck to prove it's a go go so named for high criminality rate theories have also amputation for drug trade. terrorists place where there's a lot of drugs obviously people up there are just go out there are. people standing here and for one of them and one for you even if you're blind you will see what they could dealing drugs it's not like they are hiding it. to the people who have. to live with it which i don't violent they would have thought
10:36 pm
of to. know on the route to the mall to the jail you know because of the mafia even the money the money. the ones that did you shoot the gun you may know. that but what we've seen across sweden's vulnerable areas looked quite tense just like the country's prime minister has described although the authorities never agreed many tend to blame the massive number of immigrants for the situation. people think that it's related to this two thousand and fifteen immigration crisis with no this is because of immigration we have twenty years i got a lot of these people are criminal the second generation immigrants the parents coped with if you want to be a bit from arctic you can say that the worst is still ahead of us. social scientists believes that poverty is the root cause of sweden's problems. now you understand that look at it go at it because it does go to the simpler to.

welcome back c.n.n. is under fire after refusing to retract a breaking news story on collusion between donald trump and russia despite the news channel sourced publicly withdrawing a significant claim the whole story was based on are to go reports. a quick look at some of the nuts and bolts of russia collusion storytelling we've gotten rather used to the media running sensational headlines because a number of anonymous sources said this or that well what if the anonymous source reveals his identity and says the story's not true or that he's made a mistake perhaps you'd expect the outlet to take a step back consider some skepticism possibly make a correction or take the story down altogether not if you're c.n.n. we stand by our story and are confident in our reporting on it and here's their
10:40 pm
original bombshell story from a month ago sources with knowledge tell myself and call that michael cohen claims then candidate donald trump knew in advance about the june twenty sixth beating a drum tower crucially these sources tell us that cohen is willing to make that assertion to the special counsel wabbit mohler so the sensation was that the president's former lawyer would tell investigators mr trauma had known about the infamous from tower sit down featuring his son and the russians sure that counts as a sensation as many would take it as proof there had been collusion well a few weeks later a man called lanny davis michael cohen's own attorney comes out and says he was the source for c.n.n. a b. he's made a mistake and c. is inside into this complicated matter has been misinterpreted mr davis eventually even appeared on c.n.n.
10:41 pm
several times to reiterate just that the reporting of this story got mixed up so michael cohen does not have information that president trump knew about the from tower meeting with the russians beforehand or you know does not is it your understanding now that the senate. has been told no michael cohen stands by his testimony he did not know of the trump tower meeting beforehand that's correct and the reporting was a bit garbled but c.n.n. did nothing to warn its audience the story could have been false in fact it even began attacking the man who it once used as a source blaming him for changing his mind as often as the wind however when c.n.n. first broke the news based on a tip off from sources it mentioned that attorney davis declined to comment on the matter and now we know that mr davis and the source are the same person unlike these guys other influential outlets the likes of the washington post came up with
10:42 pm
follow up reports or included corrections they weren't saying the original story was false for sure but at least casts some doubt this was the time when journalists went to c.n.n. but c.n.n. only answer to their question was we stand by our story it's still right because we had multiple sources did c.n.n. name many of these sources know this is out sometimes work and there could be a much bigger issue behind this kind of news climate one congressman from the republican party has claimed serious people from the likes of the justice department could leak sensitive stuff to the media on purpose he says this could be a tactic to trigger and list rounds of probes we know that some people at the department of justice today f.b.i. actually gave information to the media then the stories were reported then they
10:43 pm
used those reports to justify further investigations could that point to some other form of collusion don't you dare even think that russia gate is the coin of the room here if you have a story no matter how false you're out with it before anybody pays any attention to the sort. we have a sleazy bunch of lawyers have to. pundits and reporters who now are caught in this web of misinformation. mis speaking all kinds of euphemisms for lying i would suggest that if they do have another source that to defend what's left of their reputation they need to serve up some information about this source but of as i say they have no imperative to do that because i don't see it in on him as n.b.c. on the cable and also the other outlets this story will kind of peter out and what
10:44 pm
people will remember is the first impression namely comply and again. the u.k. is minister for women has been criticized after expressing concern over there was a rising number of children wishing to change their gender i read in the paper recently there has been a large increase in the number of teenagers who are identifying as such and i think we need to get down to the reasons why this is happening it may simply be a case of greater awareness in maybe that they sees his annoyance as to questions they are perhaps not asking themselves transgender issues are increasingly being raised in the u.k. with initiatives being launched to recognise the community's rights one recent example is edinburgh university worse new students are being encouraged to wear badges with the words he she or they indicating how they want to be referred to the students' union campaign is part of an effort to avoid so-called mis gendering however it says students should not use the term preferred emphasizing it's not
10:45 pm
a preference but a necessity we debated the issue with human rights activist peter tatchell and radio talk show host john god. trans people do not choose to be trans they don't make this decision about gender reassignment career without very very serious long protracted thought and indeed is often agonizing they face often rejection by their parents being thrown out of home and very high rates of suicide and attempted suicide so this is not a decision that a young person takes lightly and if they make the decision but they feel that they are one gender or another i think we should respect that i don't think it's a big deal too it's about common decency just about being kind and compassionate to other people so i don't i agree with that but part of same token they should respect our rights to have a different view and when you talk about this this is always brought the thing
10:46 pm
about trans in serious charge it isn't because they're struggling with the fact they think they're in the wrong body that lage generally to the serious side it's aster when they realise they've made a dreadful mistake which is why the woman minister or the education minister is right to say we need to look out why more and more young people are trying to go through this if somebody feels they are you know being assigned the wrong gender they're in the wrong body i have enormous sympathy for them but we shouldn't be kind of i don't really want to use this word but encouraging it which we're edinburgh university is doing well no one is encouraging them and nor should anyone encourage them this is a call that's coming from the young people themselves but if the purpose of these badges is just to raise awareness and in particular to make transfusions and their friends and allies feel comfortable safe and accepted i don't think that's a terrible thing i think it's just a common human decency to become mine too i know that's perfectly reasonable have
10:47 pm
made this decision what's not reasonable add on a minute where universities are trying to tell lecturers it's happened at university. of toronto of course famously with jordan peterson where they told him he had no use things like hello ladies and gentlemen hello boys and girls they have to fit into these new pronouns if they want to say today tomorrow a boy the next. so so that but i don't have to fainter i don't want to get into a situation well i have to try pronouns i have to change the english language trans people our reality they have existed since time in our throughout history i think the fact that there are more people coming forward is because there is greater social understanding and acceptance the stigma and guilt is fading away the issue is being discussed more openly and that is why more people are coming forward to dent of violence trans but it's still a tiny tiny minority. finally we bring you pictures from the closing ceremony of an
10:48 pm
international festival of military music which finished up sunday evening in moscow dozens of orchestras from twenty countries have taken part in the event in red square this year that we can long tower festival is an annual event in the russian capital which has been running for ten years it features military band parades and fireworks shows coming from far and wide the teams have included orchestras from south america asia. thanks for watching the weekly i'll be back with more at the top the hour. her. life. her. her her. through her.

10:52 pm
majestic sights of rush but before they get on the road stephen wants to continue with his film to make america skate again. live live. live. live. that nearly or a lot. lost even a real car but keystone max's. into the woods so we can finally get touch with his interview period. i can still i can see now i can touch so oh we'll.

10:54 pm
a flaming rack on mount rushmore or better to do with the same amount. oh my. son. now your chart can actually put both hands now on the wheel stephen to max enter into the great plains passing through rapid city on the way so who would you put on mount rushmore aside from the four presidents and on their down cars well that's the question iris asked myself as we were driving along i would go race yeah right that's me but fair enough not only because i agree with his politics in many ways but i just think his face it looks so much better up there than than other stuff we sell. stuff that's hollywood yet what about jimmy carter is a guy who represents. it's a very soulful american tradition of giving he spent all this post presidency building housing. you know these are the message he's a real great. great you're going to hollywood had on radio. you think jimmy carter
10:55 pm
is not photogenic enough to be on mount rushmore. you said it not me ok i don't say the other i only said that i thought president reagan would let me sort of yeah. i think you know with paul when they run for president i'm like his billy carter so if you think reagan would be good yeah are you saying you like jimmy carter that's your choice no. i don't think so so you wouldn't do it jimmy carter. what do you still love me who i put on mount rushmore i'll tell you why but i'm not sure neil armstrong first man on the moon that was america's finest moment because he hit me up on the classical problem was my friend american that. stephen him and still the ways to go before their next stop on the pilgrimage. after a morning of the court matters in russia our heroes got
10:56 pm
a late start so with the sun setting and their stomachs empty they decide to pull over for dinner and get some shots. as the sun rises stephen is awoken by the sounds of a benzo in the distance always his ear and goes exploring through channels. that. statement i'm still pay a ph. as a bet on bell. was out of favor in the. northern. they're pretty good you yeah. let me ask you something how long you've been playing the banjo well i started broomstick when i was not in my parents' atmospheres about ten and a half and they bought me
10:57 pm
a real banjo since you're yeah. how old are you now twenty. have been a lot of little gigs all the way it has been a football game and not for tennessee so a little bit of bars in. reality by means that all of them what was your first. name are bedroom are bad the best may. be very brave. i'm thinking maybe me and you could put our heads together and do like great american pilgrimage moonshine that's probably the best and. i mean t.v. needs. they did america. just get us here. if you want to go out in the world and tell somebody hey listen to these different sounds a bit most of them would relate the sound of the banjo to. it's.
10:58 pm
part of tree like american culture you know i came over on ships. it started out an irish band first settlers came here and as little farms and things like that they'd be. old guys sitting on a porch. and women used to be a big thing women would. like to woo women would be play banjo. like. so what's america. a lot of places a lot of people say. land of the free.
