Murder of women the more women come the more pressure it will put america and politicians from the old parties together let us take to the streets to fight for our right to freedom and sadly to mention despite belonging to a party known for strong anti migrant rhetoric leyla build womens and childrens rights activists regularly travels to syria and iraq to help people there she said migrant origin herself and was surprised that the official reason for her facebook ban. As going to facebook of a show on my travels with facebook started a few years ago facebook has a big issue with women of migrant background you can notice that i dont have a nordic look i can see that i am originally from the south here in germany i fight for human rights which isnt always easy in islamic countries people like me are silenced by facebook and since i have a certain popularity and quite a large following i was blocked for thirty days then my account was deleted but that wasnt the first time my accounts have now been purged four times and since i am a member of the air of d. Which in germany files for womens rights i am a nuisance for facebook and the Mainstream Media lose by a new law that forces social media to delete offensive content within twenty four hours of receiving a complaint otherwise companies can face fines earlier in the month deputy leader of the day saw her facebook and twitter account suspended of she criticised the countrys police for saying happy new year in arabic clearly bilge again says people who express their anger at migrant policies in germany are seeing their voices silenced online. The problem is your policy of the German Government and especially of the older parties is intended to help young man from islamic or african countries get settled in europe and to accept their religion and culture for this reason and german citizen who has lived here forever is being ignored and in the case of facebook or twitter it works like this they censor all critical statements even though they are consistent with the real situation of course it runs against the mainstream political line in germany for this reason they try to silence all critics of the German Governments asylum policies.

Striking guards are demanding the authorities do something about the dangerous conditions in french jails forty front spoke to a representative of a prison guard unit the bluff or to do not the government representatives are to blame they dont want to discuss the problem or to find a solution to our poor working conditions we demand an increase in the number of Prison Guards and also the creation of a special high security wing for radicalize prisoners. Its not just jails giving the french authorities a headache drug related crimes are becoming so bad in parts of the paris metro that train drivers are reportedly refusing to stop at certain stations thats according to a Union Representing the Metro Bus Network in the capital. Went underground to see what those fears a backstop. For most parisians the metro is a staple of life with its winding tunnels and lines that stretch across the city its often the easiest way to get from a to b. But down in the underground the gritty underbelly of the capital is being exposed drug related crime and violence has been a long standing issue on purpose as metro but now the unions representing the train drivers say its spiralling out of control dealers and muses including those taking crack cocaine a new god thing what theyve doing. Lighting up metro drivers is so fearful of attacks at some stations many are choosing to longer stop there a survivor more force of im not pro quo is very dangerous and its terrifying if you can range from a simple punch to people using nails knives or. Stations like marks dorm and market a year are especially troubled druggy says come here for their daily fix and gangs have taken over for problem if. The problem is very dangerous for both the metro workers and for the commuters its even more dangerous they are targets of fast ive seen more than one hundred attacks take place within minutes of arriving in marks door metro station we witnessed what looks like a drug deal the man with his back to the camera has just arrived with a bag in hand he was the platform stopping and exchanging some packages with people and then he left with his bag empty this seems to be the new normal. There are lots of drug users and i think that with everything thats happening in the match though they should be doing something most of the time the drug users are aggressive and. Everyone is afraid for the security of. Children. Twenty twenty five. Lived there we would we verse of course. Been attacked just one time because. We had been in the middle of the night is smart for. Playing with that problem was a precipice a problem as the security robberies can happen sometimes its maybe aggression physical aggression sometimes too was a siren man attack another young man. As we travelled through some of the most dangerous stations we saw Metro Security and police trying to crack down on the problem this exceeded in moving this bunch a long but in reality all theyve done is move the problem to another stop on to another day charlotte even ski r. T. Paris. That brings you right up to date join me for the latest News Headlines see you in half an hour. Welcome to sophia come Sophie Shevardnadze calls for a european reform grow in response to rising skepticism as to block able to stay united and take care of itself i ask finlands former Prime Minister ask. The european dream of a continent a liberal order is faltering economic inequality comes instead of common prosperity political bickering and resistance to your grass is stalling common decisions in the common foreign policies failing to find solutions to global problems what happened to the european vision will the union prove to be resilient and adjust to the challenges it will crumble bearing dreams of a united europe with. Mr howard thank you very much for being with us today so much to discuss regarding europe and whats going on in the European Union right now so you were actually instrumental in bringing your country to the European Union as you are a very pro e. U. Figure. Lately we have high profile voices for instance germany sigman gabrial. Care theyre actually calling to set up a Euro Zone Finance Ministry streamline all the Foreign Policy decisions to have paneuropean elections in your opinion as United States of europe what you are aiming for when you are bringing your country to the European Union no i dont think that that is the right call in these circumstances. I think we need a stronger European Union but its very important that the union will analyze very carefully what are those areas where integration the really need it and Economic Growth potential creation of Common Market seeing real Single Market its not yet fully completed environmental protection. And Security Matters in a broad sense i think that in these areas the European Union can play a major role and its needed small countries especially in europe they need to scale and the European Union can provide that scale that was the reason why finland decided to join also see what gabrielle said that in order for here to become politically stronger it needs to be Even Stronger in order to become more cyber and in that case to come in from russias opinion from china as a painting from United States opinion do you feel like brussels should have more power than the National Capitals in the european states because becoming stronger politically kind of means that as well i think its a very critical question everywhere in the world what is the foundation of strength is it political political integration stability. Or or what kind of capacities you need in order to be influential and politically powerful i strongly believe that at the end of the day everything depends on your scientific and technological capacity. Those nations those need regions in the world. That are able to create the best potential for scientific and Technological Development and innovation are going to be the universe today and especially in the in the future and that is what i hope that the European Union is able to do we have a lot of potential in europe and europe should use that potential you know much more efficient way and then political integration is secondary he its needed but it is secondary to this lets Say Foundation to scientific and technological potential i think thats a great vision of how europe should develop but the politicians who are in charge in europe right now do you believe that the political integration is number one and i mean it seems that when Everything Else comes second or third so what would you say to those politicians who actually believe that tighter european integration more brussels control is needed in order for europe to be stronger on a world map i think its very important to understand that yes we need the political control and coordination in specific areas not everywhere its very important to understand that that the european integration doesnt compensate the National Decision making and that the in certain areas we need even local Decision Making and so so this very important to be to be understood and i think we have we have had time to time that kind of feeling in europe that Constitutional Development is the most critical one and there are that kind of federalist approach that is still alive but i think that more and more people in europe understand that actually going to be Growth Potential is the most important we are worried about these populist movements and they are doing a lot of concern they create a lot of concern talk to me about this populist. I mean should they be taken seriously is that something that really can shape the future outcome of how politics works in iraq or is it a thing of that will pass its a good question i think these populist movements are an indication there are indications that that economy is not doing very well or it has not been doing going to also i feel like those movements scored their votes on the anti brussels bureaucracy yeah but its always so that when looking back at populism in that we have these not the first time in history we have facing populist movements we have seen. Previously even more dangerous and more complicated process is done what we are experiencing now and all is they have been linked to social and Economic Development when when times are tough people are disappointed you you immediately start to ask for Simple Solutions you you are easily taking seriously the movements that do not have a realistic political platforms and that you see them lose going for them as realistic Political Forces i think we have we have the bracks it its you know its you know its a good indication erin lappin was the second runner up french president ial election and what else i mean im not even citing other countries where parties are becoming third or second in the parliament thats quite something to actually take into consideration but i think the brics it is a good example its
