steps over claims that officers. with a notorious neo nazi network we've lived reaction from germany coming up. one minute past 7 pm here in moscow july 15th my name's you know me you're very welcome to our international. china is threatening to retaliate against the u.s. president trump signed on executive order counseling hong kong's preferential trade status mr trump also approved the hong kong autonomy passed by congress earlier this month which imposes sanctions on officials involved in china's new security law beijing has dismissed the act as a piece of scrap paper. made from. the us act

militias lease lenders hong kong's national security legislation and grossly interferes in hong kong nefariously in china's internal affairs the chinese government strongly opposes this and strongly condemns that the us sides attempts to obstruct the implementation of hong kong's national security law will never succeed in order to save guard its own interests china will make the necessary sponsor and impose sanctions on relevant u.s. personnel and titties. yet it's all starting to heat up on earlier my colleague jacqueline food took a closer look at the u.s. china dispute with our senior correspondent morocco steve. he is concerned worried and angry at china but in this particular. in this particular episode yes it is it is what trump threatened to do should beijing introduce these new security laws in hong kong and what they are is basically a restriction on little criticism of the chinese government in hong kong for

example it out lose any calls for independence a session from china for hong kong as well as outlawing publishing by by life in prison even mingling with the wrong crowds or being on the payroll of foreign entities who want to see chinese authority in hong kong diminish and in this case trump trump has said that since the freedom in hong kong has been extinguished there's no reason to give it special privileges on car and will now be treated the same as male in journey no special privileges or special economic treatment and no export of sensitive technologies there's a whole host of sanctions that are going to be introduced against hong kong and chinese officials deemed responsible for introducing this new security bill there's a whole list of grievances that trump has towards china towards hong kong and it just keeps growing steadily but quickly there is for example the whole mess in the

south china sea with the territorial claims that china has made there that the united states has condemned that is turning into a military conflict pulled sides saber rattling there you know visiting nuclear with nuclear power nuclear armed jets to patrol their ships aircraft carriers there's also the issue of china refusing to join any arms control treaties that the united states wants them to be a part of this the huge trade surplus something the trumpeters hated from the get do so and of course i would say the most painful for an interim site. the crude a virus pandemic big no mistake we whole journal fully responsible for concealing the virus and unleashing it upon the world you could have stopped it they should have stopped it. would have been very easy to do it the source would have put them on to sell something to europe to america this all sorts of restrictions and all sorts of tariffs all kong was

a little liberal window that belonged to china through which the chinese government to chinese companies could sell things to the west all buy things like sensitive technologies relatively simply with minimal tariffs now that's god there are more than a 1000 western companies that. have offices in hong kong he's willing to through even his room under the bus to make china hurt but what about while way that he's been back on that lately you have you know for all the talk of free markets and globalism they really seem to dislike competition because what you are way does is it makes 5 g. tech for example amongst other things and it makes it cheap so how do you make people stop buying something that's cheap effective and make them to expensive western analogs you do this by saying that chinese take is somehow tainted from the

end of this year telecoms operators must not buy any 5 to equipment from huawei and once the telecoms critical is passed it will be illegal for them to do so the united states is going to do a lot of effort to plod lot of effort in coercing and convincing its allies to dumb who our way which is a reputational glue for china you know this is this is it's brad this is a chinese brown and an economic boom you know just just to add insult to injury trumpets come out and said that what is happening who are way being kicked out of the united states out of europe is he's. we can bridge to many countries many countries and i did this myself for the most part not to use while away. because we think it's an unsafe security risk it's a big security risk one thing you can say about the chinese is never rash never recklessly always waited out these like characteristics so we can expect the

response you have chinese press coming out and saying that action needs to be taken we need to assure them that we can't be bullied this easily so we can expect the response from china and now it's going to be a response on 2 fronts 1st what's happening in hong kong and what is happening to our way which is being the said she removed from western markets by the united states. to another headline stories the u.s. military is facing damning allegations of systemic sexual violence in its ranks there's greater scrutiny since the recent project killing of soldier openness a human a 20 year old vanished in late april her body was found 2 weeks ago in. complain to her family she had been sexually harassed while serving at fort hood in texas a fellow soldier suspected of killing vanessa with her committed suicide as law enforcement tried to arrest him prosecutors also charged another woman believed to

be his accomplice an s.s. heartbroken sister wants to know why commanders did not do more. 1st military chiefs dismissed the sexual harassment allegations as substantiated but last week nationwide bridge group the u.s. army secretary ordered a review of the climate and culture at the base the texas representative in congress confirm that the allegations of sexual abuse would also be scrutinized. and this is killing has led other service women to come forward with similar stories of sexual assault they have been taking to social media to call out what they describe as ingrained harassment in the u.s. military former soldier trista who is also stationed in texas talked to us through what she says happened to her i got invited to

a party off base and was told that it was a birthday party for one of the other girls that was going to start class with us at that same time we had not yet started class i made myself a journey and the other guys wanted to see what i needed and so i passed it around and when i got it back it didn't seem as though anyone had drink anything but i just kind of thought that was different but didn't really think much of it and kind of felt as though i could feel myself kind of blacking out and then the next morning when i got up to use the restroom and take a shower i realized how much pain i was actually in and i was still bleeding and i just you know i kind of was wondering well what happened and i tried really hard to remember and i couldn't the case actually has not developed i went back to legal help and they told me after about 4 months investigating that there was no evidence and that the case would be dropped. the pentagon issued a report in april on the mounting number of claims of sexual assault in the u.s.

military while christer again sees plenty of cases or glossed over independent investigators crucial. i saw a lot of females that i actually worked with that experienced harassment and assault and even rape so i just thought it was crazy that this is actually the culture of it and no one is talking to each other about it so it is happening and it's happening a lot. and just the amount of control that the military has to keep it kind of quiet is is what is surprising there needs to be an alternative to reporting there needs to be a civilian organization that's not affiliated with with the military whatsoever i believe that there's they do claim that there's resources off base that you can go to but they're still affiliated with the military they're still able to kind of so we've been under the rug to them believe just

a completely separate organization where women can go and i believe that there shouldn't be any type of punishment for coming forward and speaking out. i just believe that it needs to bring more awareness to the civilian part of you know the community. government wrongly swept through jerusalem on tuesday night police use crowd control measures on protesters who defied orders to follow social distancing regulations demonstrators called on the israeli prime minister to resign as he faces trial on corruption charges claims he rejects let's take a look at how the scenes unfolded. i. how. could.

his corruption look at what some of them had to say years believe there's a good chance that the people will realize that there is a leader dragging us to a dangerous place this is why i'm here and i hope that in the coming demonstrations all others will join the protests oh all groups must unite every day not just once a week to protest and in the end she will go home barricade the 30 years i was in the street to get a partnership. in them and to think that we have a liberation minister look like you i don't have to put mr jackson at one point the peace for having to physically move people from the gates of the prime minister's residence in the end of the basis and the steeple for disturbing the public order and also throwing objects at the police and at the. yes the protesters issued a statement in which they said that the prime ministership at the sponsor please

of the state of has has promised a full investigation into this latest round of allegations the state criminal police office has not shown the sensitivity that i would expect in the face of such threats i was informed by the state police chief of the facts for the 1st time. well what's understood to have happened is that police officers of access the addresses and contacts of prominent politicians as well as people of an immigrant background as well and sent those contacts addresses and details on to a far right neo nazi group who then sent malicious communications letters and e-mails signed off n.s.a. you $2.00 now the n.s.a. you references the national socialist underground that was a neo nazi group that carried out a slew of racist murders in the early 2000 itself is no stranger

to far right extremism it's seen the horrors of it up close and personal last year the state and the whole country were what was rocked by the murder 'd of program migration pro immigrant. politician volta new who was shot dead by a neo nazi in the state earlier this year 9 people of foreign origin were gunned down in her now also in the head by a gunman who later turned his weapon on his own mother and then on himself. the social democrats who although when governments nationally are in opposition in the state of a saying that this is just ceremonial having the police chief step down they say the problem with their far right extremism that is is deep rooted in the government of the state of hester. the resignation of the state police chief is an act of

political to spare the state police headquarters here in the interior ministry if such explosive information does not find its way to the minister personally it is tremendous organizational failure within the ministry. this isn't just a problem in the states of hansen of lists of quite a few examples there look it's just last year the interior security services here in germany the beer file that's the equivalent of say m i 5 in the u.k. your the f.b.i. in the united states they identified 32000 individuals who they said were potential far right extremists here in germany so certainly worrying numbers coming out there and another incident occurring in the southwest of the country picking us through all that peter thanks very much for europe correspondent peter oliver. let's pick up on some of the points peter in fact was going through with martin doul to martin's

a politician from germany's an after party at martin good to see you what are the implications of this case if a number of officers did indeed have ties to anneal not secret so. yes if you look at that case that's just a surface we have in germany since the tech on the october festival in the seventy's so last century there have been tyson. for some thoughts the. what you called a circle strip you know i arrived haifa's a seminar in germany they were building right wing groups with. so-called really loyal to people who are in the scene who are led by the secret service and so the left right the people and the how to drive the instructions so that now we see the police chief who resides it's just like one sector for ice you know in the

chest going you can put a call in and it supervised and you have to get to the structure of problems and you have a structural problem that in this state there is heart of the structures in the state and systematically rock with the right green and in the police there are some in the secret service and on the level of the ministries there are some as well who prefer to work with right wing to really aggressive. murder. a we have a saying in germany the so-called security forces lanai on the right i with that in mind martin the way you're talking it sounds as if they've almost burd their way and have dug their way into their police ranks far right extremists if that is the case what do you attribute it to why is this happening. oh except ending because since years systematically for example when we look in the area of

police in the seventy's and the eighty's and ninety's there was a lot of critic who police men human as police men in the leading positions as well and the education of police was more it with a tendency to structure society and to keep society safe but. then there had been a turn around since the eighty's but it really meant to correct a small busy since 2000 that. the 'd education of police is more attention against the last week against my friends and no one or more in favor of society and no response what on the merits of this is what we're seeing no and inside the police there have been some police officers who resigned from their education or formed over because they didn't like to fit in a system where if you. for example criticize racist leading

approach in their ease you get. very deep problems at all it's a structural problem inside the politics and inside the police and you have to handle it like this and so there has to be a change martin appreciate you coming on the program and sharing your thoughts martin daughter politician from germany's left party. thank you as well have a nice evening. the inner city of bristol has woken up to a new monument it depicts a black lives matter activist and stands in place of a colonial slave traders statue. i. was thrown into prison to harper during a black lives matter protest in early june and was later posed the water by the authorities no on wednesday artist mark quinn put up his new work on the empty

plinth it depicts a british woman called jan read making a block power salute for the creation of a statue read posed for the artist in his london studio and she's pretty happy about it this is what she had to say. came but obviously on the last night of protest i stood and my husband had taken a picture of me. i sit down on the social media. bible i think it's a great day to restore i think it's a great day. the mare of bristol has issued a statement saying the city council did not approve the new statue he added that a history commission has been established to decide what will happen to the plant it remains unclear how long the statue of gen reed will remain in place some think it should stay. but i just love that people if they still have the highest need it's a strong way and to say i'm faced with this label in this kind of state this is all

for the. good symbol to show. what that nice much is really i mean it should still be in good conscience it continues that feeling that we are still chase to meet the statue to feel to be cheated the feeling suppressed you have to take out my spirit will you stay there forever. but there's been plenty of negative reaction to the new stance you as well some people taking to twitter to express their thoughts saying it has to come down because the stance you feel is to reflect the diversity you know bristol the population others call the art installation a breach of plumbing law egotistical and a show of disrespect to the city breaks its party co-founder catherine black block told us a dangerous precedent is being said it's democrats i think the thought that they didn't apply for planning commission and they. put it up in the middle of

the night shows. this movement is about this movement isn't about the people still the people up if they really wanted to they could apply to have planning permission to put this out they didn't. and i would suspect that the council will not to move it and they won't to move it because they have to full of more rule and bar limits it sets a precedent that a few people can decide that democracy does not matter anymore. in new york gradually re-emerges from lockdown the city is experiencing a dramatic increase in gun violence this past weekend alone according to its police department 50 people were shot 4 of them fatally the alarming trend is also being witnessed in other cities across the country kill up and reports. almost every day

lately new footage emerges shown violence and shootings in american cities. do you . think. ringback they would just sit most of the sailors straight away and for us to kind of under the bridge. and us when she's got shot. next morning going to pick a walk. in tell me that it's a. favorite board or a billboard. in the critics out here and you know it is. but i think the whole neighborhood know it and. the data speaks for itself by look crime is spiking in chicago milwaukee los angeles

and new york city recently here in new york a one year old infant was struck by a stray bullet during a family barbecue they just broke me down and then when the doctors came out told me to do this. but i. was also. now the rise in crime comes amid a debate all across us society about the role of the police now police unions are blaming the spike in crime on unemployment the lockdown as well as the fallout of george floyd's killing and the recent police brutality protests this was a perfect storm we had a series of events that many of us probably never experienced in our time other voices are saying that it's economic hard times and lack of opportunity and hunger that is driving this recent spike in violent crime maybe this has to. what the fact

that people aren't paying their rent and are scared to pay their rats and so they go out and they need to feed their child and they don't have money so you know maybe have to put in a position where they feel like they either need to shoplift some grad or go hungry at night with violent crime on the rise of the words are scrambling to try and find a solution meanwhile an end to the recent killings and violence on the streets doesn't seem to be anywhere near in sight caleb mop and artsy new york i thought is the news for now but i'm sticking around hope you will too because labelled the most fertile woman enough ruka ugandan madea has an astonishing 38 children she's not yet 40 her life story is just as eye opening it's told next don't go far.

you cannot be both with yet you walk. during the vietnam war u.s. forces also bomb to neighboring laos it was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know. not allow so much it is officially the most heavily bombed country per capita in the fall plus human history millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this small agricultural country. and i would have to put out a kind of a template that even today kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago.

is the u.s. making amends for the tragedy in laos was built to the people needed in that little land on. oz no team. no shots. actually felt. well struck no 1st. point your thirst for. a mile long is a mighty i'm not a thong the. more you. can command is that. when you know more about beauty. it was

a long time is that when i really. have a reason there's a knock on my love of music. in tommy cohen is. his alibi. to. me because. of. the same here which is that they are your own way yeah same by you. them are you or me if the. body i move on.
