8:06 pm

8:10 pm
a lot of people certainty is that israel would have been behind this it's not the first time that israel has struck this military base outskirts of damascus israel's concern of course is always iran weapon shipments to iranian forces particularly hezbollah that can then threaten israel security israel never comments on these strikes however they do admit that yes they do target these kinds of weapons shipments or weapons storage is syrian state television quoting military sources saying it wasn't israel it was an electrical fault but there is a lot of skepticism about that there's other syrian military sources being quoted saying that israel was behind it the syrian observatory which monitors the war saying that israel was behind the work will tease we do know there were reports of ambulances racing to the scene last night multiple explosions so again these things are very difficult to confirm independently always of course a lot of skepticism when it comes to a particular attack like this or an explosion in a weapons depot in a very important military base whether that was
8:11 pm
a form of an electrical hook up or whether that was israel targeted we won't be able to confirm but certain a lot of skepticism about that denial from syrian state television the israeli prime minister has welcomed a u.s. decision to stop funding the un agency which helps palestinian refugees benjamin netanyahu says annorah perpetuates the problem instead of solving it the body provides schools health care and food to millions and the palestinians are called the u.s. move cruel and irresponsible hire a force that has more from the occupied west bank. just this week in the face of its funding crisis and rowe was celebrating the start of the academic year at the reopening of that school girls arriving for class in the refugee camp in the occupied west bank welcomed by the agency's chief on role has been scrambling all year to drum up the money to maintain its services after the us withheld more than three hundred million dollars in funding. now comes confirmation that those cuts
8:12 pm
permanent the u.s. state department saying the fundamental business model in fiscal practices that have marked an rougher years tied to an endlessly and exponentially expanding community of entitled beneficiaries is simply unsustainable the united states will no longer commit further funding to this irredeemably flawed operation for the palestinian leadership the decision is not about the specifics of a u.n. agency rather an attack on the palestinian cause the u.s. may argue that it's tax payers money and there are free to do whatever they want to do with it yes but will give them the right garber of the stealing of my land my future my spirit my hopes my capital maxim was my holy subject our church they have no right whatsoever the palestinians the final status of the more than five million refugees who assert a right of return to present day israel is like the status of jerusalem an issue to be settled by to go see a sion not by a preemptive u.s.
8:13 pm
position that position is referred to at least in the language used in the us statement when it talks about the exponentially expanding number of people who rely on that suggest this isn't just a move against one specific agency but also against the continued refugee status of millions of people with a sufi family home is the village of bacon a balance now in israel not the jailers own refugee camp where most of them were born and raised. well a human what can i do if i go back on my own a car to tend the land i want my children there before me we want them where the future is less and their children. use recife he has seventy grandchildren and great grandchildren among israeli jews there's all but political consensus that allowing all such families to return would destroy the jewish character of the state but there's also concern not least reported within the israeli security establishment about the effects of killing off their main provider of aid in order to disrupt the politics but i think people are asking whether what we're seeing is
8:14 pm
the political instrumental isolation or aid and what you say is the wrong ability and the needs of the people are simply too great in the short term on roe we'll continue to seek ways to plug its funding gap germany among the first donor nations to promise extra money warning of an uncontrollable chain reaction if we're forced to shutdown our aforesaid. refugee camp in the occupied west bank egypt's president abdel fattah el-sisi has signed off a new laws allowing the authorities to control social media online accounts so blogs with more than five thousand followers will be monitored as media outlets rights groups say it's part of an ongoing crackdown on press freedom president trampers warned congress against interfering with the guess he ations on a new north american free trade agreement on the after president trump says there's no need to keep canada in the pact just a day after both countries missed

8:22 pm
saxony has seen a series of violent and to buy growing protests they began last sunday after the fatal stabbing of a thirty five year old german man and the arrest of two suspects asylum seekers from iraq and syria the streets were briefly owned by a far right protesters who chant to germany for germans reportedly gave hitler salutes and chased anyone who looked foreign police struggle to keep control and fights continue the following day between far whites and left wing demonstrators the violence has raised concerns about in the city's neo nazi stronghold exposing divisions in german society about immigration chancellor angela merkel allowed more than a million migrants into the country of the height of the refugee crisis in two thousand and fifteen the biggest opposition party the far white alternative for germany sees or what it saw as an open door policy warning ninety two a parliamentary seats in last year's elections and the f.t.
8:23 pm
organize another protest on saturday dominic cain has been in chemists and filed this report. they say. their message is loud and it is clear they are the people whom their country has forgotten neglected so they say by a government that encourages tolerance and integration on thursday they took to the streets of chemist's to oppose a meeting of solidarity between the main parties taking place nearby was to highlight their distrust of mainstream media perhaps around a thousand people were here protesting against the numbers of migrants in the cam that's in fact official figures show only around one and a half percent of the population here is from syria and afghanistan. this demonstration was peaceful in stark contrast to the scenes on sunday and monday
8:24 pm
when thousands of far right and far left protesters threw rocks bottles and fireworks at each other and at the police the violence flowed from the events on sunday morning with german nationalists fatally stands during an alter cation with two migrants in the wake of that many people wondered if they'd be collusion between elements of the far right and someone in the judicial system on thursday an official admitted to having leaked the details of the suspects he has been suspended on a wider level this week many germans have been wondering at the strength of the far right in saxony one local analyst explained how their approach has shifted they use facebook and twitter and if this would not suffice to telephone calls and they say well something ugly has been happening here we have to show that we do not agree with that and we have to make clear that there is many of us.
8:25 pm
the people here speak with a loud voice and seemingly a united voice but their numbers across germany remain very small but the. message certainly is being heard across this country to. this is. the challenge for the political elite is what they will do about it dominic al-jazeera commits. the. let's bring in our panelists in berlin philip salter student activist and fascism campaigner in washington cynthia miller it too is professor of education sociology of the american university and also in bullying. political activist and community educator welcome to the program philip quite interesting to see what's happening in kenya it's so a young german was killed and then the streets were almost taken over by the far
8:26 pm
right is this a genuine act of anger over what people think is lack of security or is it an act of political opportunism by the german far right well by the far right it's of course an act of opportunity they got the opportunity of that one person was killed in the street and yes. we don't know anything about x. event itself we know that one person was killed we know don't we have to suspect and yeah that's it and at the same time right wing extremists use this opportunity to get on the street to overwhelm the police. to be the majority for a short time cynthia we have people in kenya saying basically did no longer fear protected by the state what does this tale tell us about germany. i think part of what we're seeing is that you know political parties that are
8:27 pm
closer to the mainstream that are officially in parliament now and rhetoric has officially and successfully been mobilized to to stoke fear in ordinary people and that is far you know exaggerated they're not protesting you know ordinary crimes that germans are doing which are you know also just as likely to produce the kind of violence that you're seeing from from that we saw in that terrible tragedy on sunday but it's an opportunity for for the far right to mobilize and to come together and use it as an excuse to an act of violence. we've seen a fear monger across europe tapping into the general anxiety about the influx of immigrants into the country to advance a political agenda is this an isolated to feel mongering in germany or is it an event the could build up in the future. i actually do not think that this is an
8:28 pm
isolated event and i think it is one incident and chain of incident that has been happening and will happen in the future i think we haven't seen the last of it yet i think what has happened over the last decades even is yet another shift of the overall societal discourse to the riots and that entails that things that might not have happened in the frequency that they have now. are finding a climate in which they can happen and the perpetrators of certain acts do not have to fear the same repercussions that maybe they would have had twenty years ago. philip one of the pivotal moments of the of the events that are for doing this is basically the investigation into the leaking of the arrest warrants by the police
8:29 pm
to the far right does it give us any sort of indication about some sort of collaboration or link between the police and the far right in cabinets i would not say that there are scores liberation with the police between police and right wing extremists. on our laps what we know is that certain elements in the police are sympathizing with right wing extremists maybe not the right wing neo nazi parties but at least with the air of the party and the other point is that the right wing extremists overwhelm the police they claim to be on the one side to be part of german society and bearing the police on the other side they clash with the with the police now we know from the past today i was recently an event where come a team was. pushed away from a demonstration by police and they were accused by one man one demonstrator of
8:30 pm
being you know people make propaganda he was turns out also a policeman in civil clothes not in service but in an administration position inside the police this of course sold also that there are some connections between police and right wing extremists as least on the. level of not corp bought on sympathy. sit cynthia i mean if you see the latest developments year we've basically seen protests like visual auntie's shouting and to democracy slogans saying of the other posts of the mainstream media shouting that germany should stay for the for the germans where does it lead germany. i think that one of the things that germany has to reckon with is
8:31 pm
this shift in the tactics of the far right that chemists recommend that chemists reppert represented in revealed which is that there's a very rapid mobilization that can happen and while yes this is a trajectory that's been happening over a couple of decades a group with that i think there was still something different here and that we saw a kind of a coalition emerge among violent right wing extremists the marsh mixed martial arts the soccer hooligans everyone coming into the street not into small groups combined with a large numbers of kind of ordinary people who were mobilized and that i think is you know in new or development to see that many people so quickly activated over social media and i think that's something that certainly in the future the intelligence services in the police have to reckon with that rapid mobilization to be better prepared. this is the first time that the observers the local media is talking about what should the police do to tackle the whys of the extremism
8:32 pm
in germany remember the fifteen years ago of the series of attacks targeting migrants police said these were completely isolated it took us fifteen years of police for the german government to say this is something that is connected to the national social underground which is a neo nazi movement is this is is this are we talking about some sort of blocs ism by the security apparatus in germany. yeah i would definitely comment on a response by the german police force i think what people have to remember in discussing the role of the police force and also the role of intelligence agencies in germany is the fact that after. germany became a state kind of in its own right again after the second world war a lot of former fun. sharon fingers off the nazi party were basically reinstated into their old functions whether it was the negro or
8:33 pm
forests nor yours and judges or whether it was the police force or intelligence agencies so from the moment off they're being brought into existence these institutions have been basically run by a former near nazi party or nazi party members and i'm sure not only me but a lot of people actually think that these former roles that they played under nazi rule and their convictions were actually traded into or imbedded into the new institutions as well and there have been a lot of r. and east in my opinion there haven't been too many scandals off right wing. or right meaning or or racist members off the police force to just have them be single incidents or provera.
