a story fourteen hundred years in the making. a story of succession. tells the story. of. the kind of result three.

this is al-jazeera. hello welcome to the news hour with me from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes as inspectors wait for access to the side of a suspected chemical attack in syria its government and russia are accused of tampering with evidence. also israeli military aircraft dropped leaflets warning palestinians to stay away from the latest protests along the gaza border. also violence and looting in a south african city folds the president to go home early from a bang just summit in london. and over the old town the pole is trying to clear the air and its roads i'm tatiana franchise with the sports often benchrest standing down as manager of off no the longest serving manager in english premier league history announces he'll leave at the end of the thing.

welcome to the news of the u.s. says it has credible information that syria's government and its allies russia are removing evidence of a suspected chemical attack on the outskirts of damascus they both deny the allegation and then says the attack itself was staged chemical weapons inspectors all still waiting to be given access to the site in the form of rebel held town of duba cancer. reports. access denied inspectors with the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons are on standby waiting to enter the area duma a visit to the side of the alleged chemical attack has been delayed for days the investigation stalled the white house says russia and syria are trying to buy time to tamper with evidence we believe it is an effort to conduct their own staged

investigations russian officials have worked with the syrian regime we believe to sanitize the locations of those suspected attacks and remove incriminating evidence of chemical weapons use security concerns delayed the inspection a u.n. risk assessment team says it came under fire as a try to clear away for the inspection days later inspectors are still waiting to go in the u.n. says discussions are taking place in damascus to ensure the o.p.c. w team can go in safely. and as quickly as possible i think you could understand the ju-ju. the volatility of the situation the dangers involved we don't want to telegraph what will happen but the discussions and planning is ongoing but. more than forty people were reportedly killed in the alleged attack almost two weeks ago syria and the strongest ally russia have denied the use of chemical

weapons they also refute hindering the investigation was going to. it's absolute rubbish a lie that russia prevents inspectors from entering duma we don't know what made them think that from the beginning we were sincerely interested in sending o.p.c. w. inspectors there we made public statements of that moreover we contacted the syrian side so that all documents including visas were provided to the inspectors as soon as possible. the u.s. u.k. and france retaliated by bombing several syrian government sites now it's not just western powers that are keeping a close eye on the pending inspection all the parties have agreed to allow the o.p.c. w. teams access unfettered access immediate access to these sites you know we can't get around the fact that the syrian government and the russian allies control the territory we're talking about a race against time as concerns grow that possible evidence of the alleged attack may be tainted or even disappear before inspectors begin their investigation cuts

here lopez with a young al-jazeera. russia's foreign minister says the u.s. led strikes on syria last week did not cross what he called a red line so says the kremlin told the us which areas would be acceptable to target he also says donald trump has invited lot of a putin to visit washington d.c. . where you know we had contacts between the military leadership and the level of generals with their representatives in the commanders of the u.s. led coalition they were informed about where red lines are including geographical red lines on the ground in any case the result showed they have not crossed these red lines where we challenge joins me now from moscow what else how's the foreign minister been saying regarding this issue. well it's interesting isn't it i mean we had all the sort of angry rhetoric from moscow following the u.s.

french and you care strikes last weekend in the immediate aftermath of it but the suspicion always was actually moscow was pretty fine with what happened it was definitely down the the in the manageable end of what they were were going to tolerate from the united states and that's officially basically what's what like rove has just said there we didn't cross any red lines so love rob has obviously got to keep the idea of some sort of push back there on the table so ease keeping alive something that was mentioned by the defense ministry the other day which is that russia mites now supply the syrian government's with s. three hundred missile defense systems which are actually already operational in syria at the moment anyway because the russian air force is using them to protect its facilities there but yeah i mean i get the impression that we're in

a kind of diplomatic holding position of the moments moscow is keen not to escalate things further with the united states particularly as on the ground in syria everything seems to be going the way of damascus and the way of moscow right now with these sort of mopping up efforts being very successful in forcing the remaining up on plays of rebel activity basically to give up and move to other parts of syria we saw it first of all being wheeled out in aleppo didn't we then recently as happened in eastern goods or and now it's being used in other parts too where you get to. the sea situation a siege then lots of bombardments and then the russians go in and say look you know we'll stop this if you guys pick up your families and get out and that seems to be what's happening indeed so gay lover of the for. the minister is currently hosting his austrian counterpart of that we can show our viewers some of those pictures now we do expect him to speak later because he'll be meeting stephan de mistura the

u.n. envoy to syria what do we expect to come out of that meeting yet today is a day of or a lot of lavrov we already have the interview that you gave earlier with the russian state media we've got him speaking to his austrian counterpart now and then as you say meeting with de mistura later did a story a is on something of a world tour at the moment basically trying to find out if the conditions are right to kick starts restart the final un mandated peace process for syria which of course is that you know that the geneva talks they've been stalled for months and months and months i think that you know considering the recent escalations in syria we have the airstrikes we also have the gas incident etc and of course the weakening position of the fractured rebel

movement perhaps de mistura feels that this is a moment to try to bring things back to geneva and trying gets a final negotiated constitutional settlements worked out of course it remains to be seen whether russia is ok with that it remains to be seen whether tehran is ok with that after moscow the mysterious heading on to speak to the iranians of course if damascus moscow and tehran feel that you know actually they're doing pretty well at the moment and they don't need to go back to geneva i don't think it's going to happen you have to wait and see indeed it will come back to of course so with more developments on that rory as it happens thank you. staying on message inside syria rebels have banned pockets of land northeast of damascus under an evacuation deal and it's believed all the members of the group known as the army of islam have now left the area of the mayor and in nearby rebels have agreed to lay down arms as

expected they'll begin leaving within days or has more from neighboring lebanon. the syrian government and its allies regaining control of more territory from the opposition the town of to marriage is now back under state control after the rebels lay down their arms and agreed to be evacuated to the north of the country to other rebel controlled territories in the north of the country the remaining rebel factions in the eastern caliban enclave have also agreed to surrender without a fight there was the threat of military action and this is what the government has been doing it was using the strength of military action to bring about a surrender in this eastern kalam one enclave being really strategic for the government because it lies along the main highway between task this and baghdad the government is using this tactic as well with the with the rebels in the countryside of homs in the northern countryside of homs telling them you can face what the

rebels of eastern water faced if you don't agree to lay down your arms there is a cease fire in place and negotiations are set to continue on sunday but i still but talks with i still have collapsed eisel of course controlling a pocket of territory in southern and southern to masochists i still refusing to evacuate and leave to the east of the country to the desert and so the army and its allies have begun a battle to recapture that that territory so the syrian government pushing ahead with the with its military option really the way it wants to solve this crisis by crushing the rebellion in recapturing territory from the rebels instead of engaging in any political process while staying in the region palestinians ingalls are all holding another major rally only border with israel well they're marking prisoners to support files of detainees in israeli jails thirty five palestinians have been killed by israeli soldiers since the protests began nearly four weeks ago bernard

smith has more for us from gaza joins me now of course israel has actually been dropping warnings to people to stay away from these protests. yes late israel's latest tactic these are some of the this is one of the leaflets they've been dropping from the sky on the residents of gaza trying to persuade people not to take part in these protests saying they're being used by hamas and saying that they won't abide attempts to destroy the security fence i can show you that the camp site here this is moved three hundred meters closer to the fence and this will fill up later in the day as people come to take part in these protests that is three hundred meters tall is where it was in the first week of protests when there are a lot of people killed and they moved it back for safety reasons but the overall aim of this alternately to get right up to the fence and this is what israel's really worried about so we go just over here over this little spin bilton down the other side we're now about seven hundred meters from israel's fence and he's right

you get closer to within three hundred meters and everyone else has anybody who gets any closer than that is fair game but what israelis really worried about is this camp thousands of people getting closer and closer to its fans so of course bernard these protests have developed with the theme each week come how have they been evolving. well the theme yes the theme is because this week has been prisoners week this is the theme that they have adopted but the overall aim of course of these protests is to demand the right of return of bodies why the palestinians want to get to the fans because most of the people who live in gaza are refugees from what the palestinians call the naacp or may fifteenth the period of the creation of the state of israel and these protests are leading right up to may fifteenth and what these protesters want to be able to do is essentially really to breach that fence to symbolically police reclaim their lands israel says they're

being used by hamas and now whilst hamas is organizational ability may be behind this protest it is a very popular protest within gaza is not just let so for the moment to burn it will either of course monitor events with you through friday thank you still ahead here on the al-jazeera news scarred for life we meet some of the most vulnerable survivors of violence in the democratic republic of congo. also fifty years since two thousand and one a space odyssey will explore why stanley kubrick's films don't pose as questions today and in sport disgrace cycling champion lance armstrong reaches a multi-million dollar settlement the u.s. government. police in south africa's northwest province have fired rubber bullets at

demonstrators who are staging protests for a third day now the trouble has forced presidents are all roma poser to cut short a trip to the united kingdom the demonstrators are seeking jobs better housing roads and hospitals and are demanding the resignation of the regional leader who they accuse of corruption catherine saw he has more from johannesburg. the situation in the northwest is calm but very very tense indeed this part a started on wednesday people are frustrated they're angry about the state of this service delivery they are demanding for better housing they're demanding for jobs and they're also angry about corruption allegations leveled against the leadership they won the premier of the province to step down because they say that he has failed to do his job and you know in the last two days have been seeing people. coming out to the streets stoning you called a bass was bearing down with had incidents of looting as well police have been

forced to use tear gas to disperse some of the protesters and this really was triggered we're being told by the death of two people who were taken to a clinic but they couldn't get help because health workers are also on strike they've been struck on strike there since since february so this has made people very angry they're saying that it's not all presidency or i'm a poster who cut short his trip to the u.k. where he was for the commonwealth heads of state summit he's come back and he is calling for calm he's asking police to exercise restraint but also telling people there to use nonviolent ways to address their grievances. because what is a visiting fellow and research director of the democracy and governance unit of human sciences research council in south africa joins me now in the studio here of course our president doesn't return to south africa or if there isn't a huge problem in the country how much or how grave is this issue for him in the

early days of his presidency. of course he must have considered this very serious it's not unprecedented for south african president to return from state business overseas but i think he wanted to also make a strong point that he doesn't consider international issues more important than domestic burning domestic issues also i think it was important for him in light of the allegations that he was somehow involved in the maracana shootings of two thousand and twelve to make a specifically strong point that he you know takes protest seriously that he wants to that he wants to urge that these things are settled in in a peaceful manner how much does this incident perhaps reflect the ongoing situation or grievances that south africans have across the country in different communities while it's a very strong reflection of this we have had a protest culture since two thousand and four there's been you know growing waves

of protests which usually take place in the winter and it's almost always about service delivery related issues not enough houses electricity and really people especially in rural areas feeling that they left out that government spending isn't prioritizing them and there's a great deal of on going on happiness how can pose a sort of impose his all foresee in an area like found in the north northwest where he doesn't take away the authority of the incumbent. officials premier in this particular case well there are two important things here the first is that we have a federal system so the provinces have powers of their own so in a sense you know he cannot intervene too much upon the territory of the premier of a citizen of a certain province and he wouldn't want to be seen that way at the same time though this to me raises questions about where there are federal system is really working

with those devolved powers you know isn't causing. problems in light of the ongoing protests at the same time we know that there's grave unhappiness about the north west premier at the moment he's alleged of being corrupt of being careless and of not taking these issues seriously so the call is really for him to resign that he must immediately resign and the threat is that these protests will continue in such a violent man it also if he doesn't resign becomes down to the fundamental issues doesn't it of corruption nepotism all the issues that south africans are very annoyed about and they want to see tackled from the top. either has to tackle with it tackle it at the top of government at its filter down without you might say usurping somebody in a federal area and creating another political storm which could backfire on him at the same time i must emphasize that it's very much about this individual called

super out more who might pay low who you know is really seen as obstructing change in their province and we've also seen that in the free state province that the premier was accused of corruption and also the current deputy president president a smuggler surely has these kinds of question marks hanging over his head so on the boards or has promised at the time he took over power that he would clean things up you know that he would clean up corruption and this i think also just shows as you just mentioned that it's going to take some time to do this but that he should also really start putting his money where these nominees in this regard but we can see what happened certainly in the coming weeks and months for the moment to me as well thanks so much for joining us. in the set on the set thanks a lot now the u.n. says more than one hundred thousand people have fled to the province in the democratic republic of congo this year the villages have been at the center of an ethnic conflict has left them vulnerable to mass killings rape and arson welcome work travel to the area and spoke to some of the displaced. rochelle gibbons.

she will never know her two older sisters militia killed them with machetes before cutting her she met her family in this camp for displaced people in bosnia in the democratic republic of congo they fled their village when the militia attacked it ran into more fighters down the road also cut off her sister's arm her father told us how his wife was killed. i was running behind my wife and children they grabbed me and started cutting with machetes then they caught my wife and started cutting her too she was pregnant and so they cut the baby from her stomach. many of the people in the camps tell similar stories of attacks by men from the lendu ethnic group we went to some of the villages day fled these are the remains of one family's home they fled when the attackers came some of their possessions they left behind. the house on fire they did the same in the house next door as well

another family lived here and they ran a business they were repairing motorcycles and selling spare parts also completely destroyed. and it's a similar story of destruction as you go down the street. many of the homes on this side belong to people from the hammer ethnic group they weren't any targets just across the road homes and businesses belonging to ethnic cleansing were destroyed as well. as being conflict between the two ethnic groups in the past in the one nine hundred ninety s. in two thousand uganda and rwanda the congolese government control of eastern congo in a turi lendu militias were their proxies tens of thousands of civilians were killed but now look kind of safari told us there is no conflict between the two groups he's a lendu he says he haiti's hammon neighbors here in his house when the militia are attacked like many he thinks politicians planned the violence to further postpone

congo's overdue elections. that they were waiting for elections so we can have new leadership this is or will have the killing started without reason where this was already prepared for linda with him or to start killing each other no i consider this a deliberately planned conflict unlike. the government denies this since the attack began soldiers to take control of the villages. it's difficult to identify the enemy right now army intelligence working to identify who killed and burned houses and who was behind the massacres we've arrested some alicia who are already facing justice. the army says the area is now secure and people should return some have many more have not because they still don't feel safe because they have nothing left to return to malcolm webb al jazeera it to republicans in the democratic republic of congo. bryden is a conflict and humanitarian advocacy adviser for save the children in the united

kingdom joins me now from the british capital good to have you with us on al-jazeera conflict brings misery and children are often the first victims i mean your report or the report certainly leads for agreement from save the children when we're talking about their escape from a conflict region yeah very much so so in terms of figures and numbers since april twelfth last week there's been seventy three and a half thousand congolese refugees fleeing from the d.s.e. into uganda since the beginning of the year what we have found is that over half of these the next sixty percent children and we have had teams on the ground in uganda who are receiving these children and hearing some really harrowing stories of accounts what sort of programs do you have in place on the ground when it comes to trying to help these people that are escaping that conflict zone. so we've got teams on the ground. who are in some of the refugee camps where these

children and their families are arriving so we have set up it classrooms and temporary protection spaces and we're also delivering some psychological first aid and counseling to some of the. survivors that are arriving and we've heard some really harrowing stories our staff of told us that every day children are arriving in desperate need and they've all got stories to tell love. family members being killed or being raped with that assessment of children who arrived. in your own ten percent of those are telling us that they were raped along the way we do this really also. did mean to drop judges is what i actually heard in malcolm's report as well when you're searching up these. camps and stations to help those that are scraping the violence obviously it takes hard cash to get those set up or

how much of a forgotten story is this part of the world when it comes to appealing for funds from the international community. very much so i was in. c. and march and was visiting our programs in north kivu and very much the crisis is is right there in front of your eyes but the international community doesn't know so it's one of the biggest humanitarian crises in the world is in the sea thirteen million people in need of humanitarian assistance which includes four and a half million children who are in need of treatment for malnutrition and three point four million who don't have access to education for example there was a donor conference in geneva last week and just a third of the funds that are needed for this year have been pledged and for those that countries that have stepped up there's a real role that they can be playing in encouraging others to do the same where i

have been doing assessments and we are ready to scale up the delays have happened and partly that's because of the lack of funding to see what happens in terms of your care for those that need it most in that part of the world for the momentum of the bride and thanks so much for your time. come. to south asia now where the poles only international airport has reopened after a passenger plane skidded off the runway during takeoff halting all flights the boeing seven three seven owned by the malaysian courier milind ended up in a grassy area at the end of the runway no one was hurt the airport close more than twelve hours while the jet was towed away there's no word yet on the cause of the accident. well still in the poll where the government is banning older calls an effort to better control pollution some say the move is unfair for people who rely on their vehicles to make a living showing the shastras as more than the capital cap and. government is

traffic can be a nightmare and often the pollution levels exceed that of larger cities like new delhi and b.g. you know to manage pollution an accident is not possible and started enforcing an old decision to ban public vehicles that are more than twenty years old last year public vehicles alone were sponsible more than seventy thousand major and minor accidents in the common devalue. twenty year old vehicles were banned from the city two years ago but the ban has now been imposed across the country according to the department of transportation as many as sixteen thousand vehicles will be taken off the roads because of this decision. just a few hours outside gottman due in bank village there are a few buses transferring locals drivers here are happy that the ban has just come into effect but i know why it didn't do this to iran or worse is on these roads bridges understood in can fail and there can be accidents but vehicles older than twenty years to even thirty years are you still operating around here. but the

decision has upset some transport entrepreneurs who are often accused of acting like cartels just last month to come to their monopoly on bus routes and allowed new buses now don't trip and you're saying this twenty year ban will impact the group is the most divided we have for years operating in the hills they cost one hundred to one hundred fifty thousand dollars now can't replace those vehicles and people will be deprived of the services if vehicles are damaged even within five to ten years they should be removed from operation capping the life of big girls to twenty years is unscientific and pallies pay high rates of taxes to import new vehicles up to two hundred eighty eight percent government officials say it takes no longer than twelve years to recover paid investment on public transport and extra eight years its profit transport entrepreneur say they already run at a loss and it was subsidies to buy you the coals now threatening to go on an

extended strike but government officials say they're not going to back down. on the government the government so far has only a regulatory and managerial role in the public transportation sector we need to operate our own public transportation system like the metropolitan cities in developed countries we are lobbying and hope to demonstrate this all over the country the ban of all vehicles might not have much impact on his condition but if both sides don't compromise and vehicles are not replaced on blue roads the poorest people in the country may have less access to public transport. also sierra that might do. well as dying we will be here with a weather update in a moment and then a man hands him self to german police have to want to check his believe was an anti-semitic attack. also teaching about the lives of children who have never known a peace in trouble parts of the philippines and in sport a coach is struck in the head as violence hits turkish football.

from dusky sunsets over the sprawling savannah. to sunrise atop an asian metropolis. much of europe continues to bathing glorious spring sunshine is on the case ever of course as you can see across more eastern areas it's a very different picture more or typical april weather with that low pressure center pulling down cold air from the north but is across more central and western areas where the weather is at its best yesterday in london temperatures are up at twenty nine degrees celsius the warmest april day since one thousand nine hundred forty nine similar pictures of course in paris people get there and making the most of the sunshine and of course the beaches around the coast if you're also looking pretty good the shots again coming from the netherlands where people enjoying the

beach not so much the water look through these shots nobody actually swimming in it because the sea temperatures about ten or eleven degrees probably up best at this time we're very close to its coldest well that will change of course with time but the weather itself looking fine in the shorter term is on the sequence of friday saturday and sunday you see front of about twenty five in london it begins to then drop off a little bit as we head through the weekend in fact with the london marathon taking place on sunday temperatures well in our forecasts are projected to be as high as twenty three degrees but it could be somewhere around about nineteen or twenty which will be better for the runners than the high temperatures below central areas look as though they're going to remain very warm. the weather sponsored by cateye nice. from planting forests with drones to surviving drought small. award winning environmental solutions program which homes now and. then to a real job but. meeting the people communities and organizations addressing some of

welcome back you're watching the al-jazeera news our arms the whole robin a reminder of all top stories this hour russia is denying u.s. accusations of trying to delay international inspectors get into the side of a suspected chemical attack in syria the team is still waiting for access to the area and almost a week after arriving. palestinians in gaza are holding another major rally on the border with israel they're barking prisoners day to support files of detainees in israeli jails thirty five palestinians have been killed by israeli soldiers since the protests began before weeks ago also police in south africa's. providence have fired rubber bullets at demonstrators who are staging protests for a third day the violence has forced president several rather poser to cut short his trip to the u.k. the instructors are demanding the resignation of the regional they accused of

corruption. now the prospect of a global trade war has the international monetary fund concerned it around the world bank are meeting in washington as the u.s. and china impose a growing list of tariffs against each other she have returned see reports bankers and finance ministers from the i.m.f. one hundred eighty nine member countries are meeting in washington on the tenth anniversary of the global financial crisis the firm's world economic outlook is optimistic about growth over the next couple of years there warns that aging populations lackluster productivity and the possibility of a global trade war will lead to a downturn so countries in our view should work together to resolve disagreements without using exceptional measures the i.m.f. chief economist named the impulse for protectionism on the inequality that's been an integra feature of globalization however he insists the trading system is not to blame public optimism about the benefits of economic integration has been eroded

over time by longstanding trends of job and wage polarization coupled with persistent subpar growth in median wages many households have seen little or no benefit from growth. now these trends in your view are more due to technology than to trade over others argue it's precisely the floor decades old economic prescriptions of the i.m.f. and world bank that have led to such disillusionment with global capitalism they tend to force governments to cut spending on health care and pensions for example in education and this is all over the world and they also tend to promote macro economic policies that will slow the economy unnecessarily and they're doing that right now as the world economy is actually growing pretty well now ten years after the global financial crisis the i.m.f. is warning that once again stock markets and risky assets overvalued unsustainably

and could crash causing devastation for those who never felt the benefits of what was called the recovery it often seems of meeting like this that despite the scholarly discussions about mustering the global economy i'm sure in prosperity for all those overseeing the current framework of globalization are doomed to repeat past mistakes she ever time see al-jazeera washington well done wink is a china analyst at the economist intelligence unit and joins me now from beijing good have you with us live on al-jazeera if the international monetary fund in the world bank a concern and it does seem that the u.s. and china are not because that quite happy to continue the trade tensions that we're all giving at the moment. well so far we can see that the trade tension has been asking later however we think that a full blown trade war can be averted for

a few good reasons first of all it's because the total majority of the global trade is actually dominated by intermediate goods which means if there is higher terrorists who are just not large as her to one side of the country but also the rest of the world in a second or is in a very important is that the u.s. congress republican. is now facing increasing pressure from the domestic so if china is going to impose tariffs other than sorgen for example soybeans poor core beef and then trump and the republican in the u.s. or face serious problems in the coming midterm election of course the underlying tensions between the u.s. and china are quite evident but there is a policy this china twenty twenty five policy about diversifying to high tech high end technologies such as artificial intelligence military and domestic aircraft space technologies the areas that you might say america is an expert in that china

wants to move into that direction and that's what america doesn't want to if i'm correct. absolutely right so so far the high tech high tech industries at the center of this trade tension and we do believe that it's all realistic for the u.s. to think china can actually change its state led industrial policy on china is going to keep it and also not change much in terms of how it's done in terms of subsidies the government and back in their prices however with their recent blown out of busy issue something has changed at least in the mindset for a lot of people because for a long time a lot of people in china believe that china's economic clout cannot be ignored anymore china is going to be the global leader in a lot of issues like climate change policy new energy cars a lot of things even the ballot initiative however people

a lot of people that are optimistic about china just realize how fragile the certain parts in china's industrial structure can be like this time for the u.s. to deny x. port to z.t. for seven years actually it doesn't even take seven years with three months you can face a serious problem maybe even go bankrupt. and we're going to leave it it's fascinating to see what is happening between the two countries and we'll monitor it very closely thank you for your time and joining us from beijing a large area of central berlin has been evacuated to allow an expert cruise to diffuse and remove a five hundred kilo bomb from world war two the british bomb was found on a building site during construction work and exclusion zone has been forced to roam the soil twitching glutes government buildings and the hospital. meanwhile the burglars had to themselves to police after an anti semitic attack on two young men in berlin he's a nineteen year old syrian refugee double it came reports. it was an unprovoked

attack in broad daylight a sustained assault on young men on the streets of the german capital the reason because one of the victims was wearing a skull cap normally worn by jews in fact he's an israeli palestinian is not jewish but was wearing the keeper as a sort of experiment to see how safe jews are in germany following the attack the victim described his reaction. which could be i stayed relatively calm but i was terrified and i trembled into now or later all the time it was really upsetting and was very stressful. what happened here is part of a rising tide of anti semitic acts in the german capital in recent years police say that the number of such crimes nearly doubled in the period between twenty thirteen and twenty seventeen while one leading jewish organization says it recorded an increase of nearly sixty percent incidence last year. one eminent member of the

jewish community in berlin says recent events have shaken people. to show what i don't see show while we feel totally unsafe because we've been asking ourselves where we can allow ourselves to be recognized as jews previously it used to be said that there were some so-called problem areas of the city where as a jew it wasn't safe to wear a skull cap or have a visible star of david but now it seems there's a risk even in the prosperous parts of berlin the government has been quick to react to the news when i list wouldn't. talk than the federal government will do everything we now have a representative for jewish life in germany because we have very glad that there is jewish life in germany for the fight against. and this has also been done with over and determination this is of course the tablet incident in recent years the jewish community in germany has been growing with some estimates that around ten percent of built their lives in the capital now some fear there flourishing community may

once more be under threat dominant came. in. let's head to the americans now are thousands of students have marched in the chilean capital something demanding an end to profit making in higher education that is the first mass student rally under the new government of president sebastian pinera last month chile's forced to tional court struck down a law that would have banned universities operating for profit is a setback to reforms providing free to asian for low income students and that did by peres. and the e.u. as ban meat imports from several supplies in brazil in a move that will affect more than a third of the country's exports to europe the european commission says the measure was adopted because of quality control issues the ban affects twenty brazilian processing plants mostly dealing in poultry the country lost hundreds of millions of dollars last year over a tainted meat scandal which prompted many nations to block in homes asia
