11:06 am
of 193. when countries recognized the state of palestine latest signatories calling on others to do the same me and admits, therefore, and use me with tens of thousands of dead and injured we must keep alive. the only things that can provide to save home for both is right. you need them to list and it will show those dates that can live in peace with each other. israel and palestine. germany's foreign minister rejected unilateral recognition of palestinian statehood tablet and the depth is ex more not i have repeatedly made it clear. the just solution to this terrible situation that we are currently experiencing does not require a symbolic recognition, which a political solution or a solution to the middle east conflict. and a 2 state solution requires direct negotiations on both sides all by divide. israel's government also hit back no sound. the knock regarding
11:07 am
a palestinian state. there are people who support this opinion and there are people who do not. but this is not the place nor the time now to come and you know, let our leave recognize a palestinian state from heart surgery. and any such decision, palms is rarely sovereignty and it's really security and we will not allow it to our order to recall our impasse orders back. com. and we will take all measures to prevent that today, even though president not mood, abbas the leader of the palestinian authority, welcome the recognition, and called on other nations to quote, support the struggle of our people for liberation and independence. let's look at some of the developments and other stories from around the world at the south. the united nations top court says april make a building on friday on a request by south africa to order as well to implemented cease firing concept. south africa is leading a case that the international court of justice, accusing israel of genocide. it's petition the court for emergency measures to
11:08 am
order israel to hold its military operations. we have to have it. columbia says it will open an embassy and ramada in the palestinian territories. its foreign minister made the announcement, columbia, and president, gustavo pittsville is an odd and critic of benjamin netanyahu and his has described as well as campaigning guns. as genocide said, the british prime minister richey snack is called a surprise general election for july 4th month. so the unexpected is trading badly and opinion pulse, so he's conservative. most observers expected him to delay the vote to give his body, get a chance to catch up. i know germany is preparing to mount the 75th anniversary of his post ball constitution. the basic law adopted on may 23rd 1949 in trains, human dignity, yet it's cool. it was drafted in response to the unprecedented crimes of nazi germany. never again dictate to ship
11:09 am
and will that was never to happen again in germany. following the nazi barbarism and the end of the 2nd, what will germany was to become a democratic country? the west and occupying powers? the usa, friends of great britain, gave german politicians, the task of drawing up a democratic constitution for west germany. the content of what was to become the so called basic law was debated for a long time. the 1st page begins with what schumann dignity is inviolable. in 1949, the parliamentary council adopted the basic little fundamental rights were now guaranteed and took precedence over all laws that had never happened before. that was the lesson learned from the said russian national socialism, an era in which the human dignity of millions of people was trampled on
11:10 am
and other rights a roll. so i'm just trying to, in the basic little the right to life and liberty of the individual modern law in which all citizens are equal regardless of the race origin, language, or religion. at the time, the basic little framework was being drafted, the population paid little attention reconstruction was more important. and the basic law was intended to be a provisional arrangement which only applied to west germany that has changed over the decades. it has developed into an important an identity, forming document, also within the population. i'm calling because that's how dcf here i think, very highly of the basic law. those are basic values. in addition to religion, the 10 commandments. these are the guiding values and to get them the biggest part we just talked about it with the kids. we said the basic law enforcement and it's the basis for all people been treated equally then guys, then i am convinced the basic law will continue to guide us well through these times that are sometimes storming. but on the 3rd of october,
11:11 am
1990 gemini was re unified. the provisional basic law was then adopted as the constitution. so the federal republic of germany, democracy has proven to be resilient thanks to the basic law. it is the test of time for 75 years and it is an export to it. it does become a role model in shaping countries that also came out of dictatorships, for example, informa, socialist states in europe. but also in south america and asia leader, we use chief political later to make sure that i took those outside the chance 3. and building why has driven is basically will become a model for so many countries as well. there's a really sort of answer to that except sizing. of course, the, the, the very cool sentence. so a paragraph, it starts with is that human dignity is in viable no matter what. and those political circumstances may be. this is the constitution at basic little at that is
11:12 am
born out of the post 2nd world war era. trying to break away from the dock is chapter that civilization breach of the nazis of the whole course. and this was also at the moment in human history where the whole international human rights construct was begun. the united nations were born out of this period. the recognition that the all call human rights that must be out of reach for any government that no government must tots. and that's also why the government constitution contains in an ton of t clothes, which means that new majority, no political move door to even a 100 percent of all votes impala meant, can change those very cool rights that every individual human being, not to 7 citizens. and have, and that cannot be legally taken away from them. and that's why you find that
11:13 am
paragraph, for instance, a different form of it in constitutions like constitutional malawi and also south africa when it overcame a pol, tied, consulted with a german constitutional court. and you find elements of the time and basically do it in the south african constitution as well. so explain the significance of the lot today for democracy as well. there's a sense that it serves germany, east and west. well, it's called basic little because initially was the west diamond basic little the constitution, which was seen to only become a complete constitution. once that was the constitution for east and west, west joined together. indian history was written differently of east many essentially the wind, west germany. and there's still a sense of regret that there was no east and elements contained. that was the one paragraph that would have committed everybody to work for the common good. that wasn't included in the german basic little off the re unification. nevertheless,
11:14 am
58 percent of the east germans say they, they back. it's a 100 percent. they're fully in favor of it, and this is all against the backdrop of less and less commitment less than this belief in democracy. even here in domini, which has led to debate to enshrine for instance how constitutional lawyers are chosen into that very basic know as well. so to see, yes, it's being attacked from different quotes as, but basically most germans feel a 7th time as well. so what would you say is on the frank with the rise of extremism? it's my system would be that no, it is not on the threat. democracy globally is on the pressure that all tendencies that the, the rise of the far right a if the pot is showing that democracy and it's cool values is no longer seen as a given, as a foundation for everybody who is part of government democracy at the same time,
11:15 am
and this is the strength of them, these basic little the, it's hunting tools. it's that also in trying democracy. devin federal isn't the very foundations and construction of the german democracy beyond the reach of any political majority in the future. so it's a very study though, we'll have to leave with that. thank you. michelle. thanks for watching. i sorry, so one on 6 times to please come and see more people than ever on the move worldwide in such an one. great timing is very, very difficult to find out about time on storing info my grands.
