it was. jimmy is divided as ministers to months deportation and tough asylum laws after a shocking attack by migrants. should be honored to be able to be here and to commit a crime and if they do so they have to go back they deserve a second chance we have our laws we don't have to change the laws the search and rescue operation comes to an end following the tower block collapse in the russian city of miami to go it's tough to the body of the final victim was recovered in the tragedy which killed thirty nine. plus looking back at last year's mainstream media coverage we see why twenty eighteen might be considered the year of trouble.

you're watching r t international with me hamish s.s.e. welcome to the program. germany's interior minister is demanding tougher laws on asylum seekers often migrants gang went on a brutal spree against passes including children top politicians a warning that's current laws to not allow deportation even a violent criminals. if existing laws are not sufficiently must be changed the vincent very troubling this is excessive violence which we cannot tolerate. a person who randomly attacks innocent passers by demonstrates that he does not seek the protection of our society the perpetrators can expect no understanding in our country but only the full force of the law currently deportation is not legally possible but we're working hard to change that for following the incident that took

place on saturday evening which left twelve people injured in a seemingly random attack in the town of place have four main suspects in custody they range from seventeen to nineteen years in age and come from afghanistan and iran well this is prompted ministers to call for a change in the laws as it stands at the moment you can be deported back to a home country if your applying for asylum and you are a minor or the country that you would be returned to is deemed to be dangerous now the christian social union under the merkel's coalition partners in bavaria they've come out and said they want this law changed now the green party and the mayor of the town of umberger have accused the christian social union and interior minister horse and say hoffer of playing politics with this issue i do understand the anger which i see in some of the reaction to amberg but this hate and the threats of violence now coming from all over the republic have gone too far. for is using the

amber consistent effectively to tighten asylum legislation such proposals have next to zero impact when it comes to fighting crime and only helping extremism politicians split over what to do over to porting asylum applications certainly seems people are also equally as spliffs i spoke to people on the streets of berlin and they gave me their reaction to the story they should be honored to be able to be here and. yeah should. they have to do a note to commit a crime and if they do thorough they have to go back to tenser. it's their mind this is ok they're for. been through a lot so in the war in afghanistan they need help i think we have our laws we don't have to change the laws and i think we are right doing it. right now they deserve a second chance while the center for european reform says that one third of those

migrants and refugees that came to germany since twenty fifteen currently in full time employment or in apprenticeship scheme however it's what to do with those other two thirds especially those among them who would commit crime well that's causing headaches for legislators across the country we asked be and have a soul a nice left party and they'll tend to fit chairman party member your him pal to shed some light on to the issue. we have a constitution that is very strong on human rights you cannot ever under the german constitution deport someone to the united states when he's facing the death penalty he has gas they committed crimes then they can no longer be our guests so what is evil should be doing is to actually work with countries. to enable us to deport people when we have to promise that they will not be tortured like in

ca rendition sites or on the threat of the death penalty in fact what he's doing he is fear mongering and so he is scaring those people that are willing to integrate why he should be targeting the radical islamists that his government has let into our country it's a big lie that they are all coming to germany because lives are in danger many of them a boat majority of them come to germany because. they're just . applied to welfare you know and to live for asylum. for years by the state and with no work angela merkel said we are. in the us so we will be looking to quit and we will give it but you know see we have incident incident incident so. now we're into creation policy is a mess it's a mystery week. the recovery of the polity of the thirty ninth victim

possessions that may have left behind. on the quickie. mart and is that of point one one hundred percent of all i see it was. just a child somebody needs to stand on and on bush so wanted to be sure to just let you have it when you have what you are sure what down and as you spoke to these people more and more stories emerged over the last twenty four hours that example the family a mother and daughter who slept just as a one off in a different room they would have stayed normally the father stayed on the couch tragically that was the first part of the building to collapse she managed to get away with her daughter the father tragically was not so lucky another story to come out over the last two days an infant boy who was buried in the rubble here just behind me he was heard crying by emergency workers who rushed to the scene managed to get him out after more than twenty four hours in these freezing temperatures he's since been taken to moscow and now despite his multiple serious injuries his

condition is described as stable many of the people we've spoken to today the witnesses at the scene those who were directly affected by this tragedy but they are saying they're also pleasantly surprised by how people have come together offering their support for the political moves in. the squad to. give them the need to this time so much that he is with us. all of. those good the stuff took over the solution of my mint told me. to go to the prison let's go do the one of the songs you know children in version get everything for them and then we saw as we have worked here today the pile of flowers of candles soft toys and icons getting bigger and bigger well wishes many of them quite emotional interiors coming here today to express their condolences there simply is offer support to those affected by this and of course preparing for the large

a tax and taxes are not good for economic growth and he began this whole trade conflict same trade. wars are great they're easy to and they will boost growth so everything the opposite has happened and we haven't won is increased television from around the world and now we're seeing how it's profoundly affecting even tech companies as you can see from apple's sales in china this is a direct consequence of the trade wars. with two thousand and eighteen all wrapped up now we've been looking back at the mainstream media's coverage for highlights but sincerely apartheid cry found out that coverage looks pretty much the same throughout the year i know way too much about your news watching experience last year how come easy you don't need superpowers for that look.

this president could be impeached i do not think the president will serve out his term resignation resignation a huge incentive for president trump to resign it would be the beginning of the end of the term presidency ending of the and then you say exactly the same thing last year. walls closing in the walls closing you know this is going to be the achilles heel dykeman's could lead to trump's impeachment is still there may get america great again prompts impeachment. on this halloween this which is scurrilous i would try to put a hex on president literally multiple times donald trump has plenty to be scared. and so he is running scared yeah right probably another be getting a view or speech been. about at some point a friend called you and they were like. i know.

the copywriting of the catchphrase in the disney classic last year it led to the accusations of imperialism and cultural appropriation. so probably. the phrase. was made famous by the nine hundred ninety four film the lion king a new version which is being released this year with an activist has launched a petition to remove the trademark from disney he claims the phrase belongs to african culture and cannot be owned by any company the petition was launched in late december and almost one hundred eighty thousand people have now signed it. that kinda metastatic comes from the sohini language and means no worries it was trademarks by disney in two thousand and three to use in clay thing and. disney has

never denied the origin of the phrase the company however still hasn't commented on the petition back in december we discussed with outcasts. why we're seeing so much pushback from people on it they see this as another as you alluded to manifestation of cultural appropriation and it continues a capitalism entrepreneur africa and specifically africa a continent representing everything that capitalist wants everything capitalist need but everything capitalists don't want to pay for that's used to be looked at and i'm not necessarily anti-capitalist stand i mean i don't want to find out in sydney that you're driving a jeep cherokee let me just leave it at that obviously i think it's unnecessary pressure as i mentioned earlier we live in an error of only outreach people are just looking for reasons to be offended i don't think this is a case about offending people right i mean everyone will find a way to get up to be offended i think what we're seeing here is the commodification of culture and we have to go beyond sharing the one thing that does

the did do is maybe the investment in the lion king franchise which is read a lot of jobs did these made a lot of money and let me tell you something disney has donated to africa and causes in africa last year two thousand and seventeen they donated over three hundred forty million dollars not everything is meant to be commodified and culture is one of those things especially when the culture does not belong to the corporation that is trying to appropriate and make money off of it at the end of the day disney is a global company so it's not to say that they can't appropriate or use phrases from other cultures let me tell you something right now we're we going to go with this next is taco bell going to be under attack is the tilted kill pub franchise i think it's a faulty parallelism to compare a franchise like taco bell to language like recruitment tata. isn't he also tried this with dia de los went oh so they also tried to call copyright the day of the dead which is also something that is coach really sacred to people specifically in

mexico you make money the way that you want to make money and that's fine but this is like cultural appropriation. that's what news that's a for this hour the programs continue in just a few minutes. it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active and rich in the nineteen seventies gruntal had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at ash was a german company ground until it develops a little mite a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy and it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything but. you

know she said is just good choice many solidified victims i have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that not only want the money i want the revenge. i. know i. am.
