a country from the creation we have in germany a very emotional discussion about the creation. since the beginning germany was a country from the creation and here we want to show the creations from the fifty's up to now here you see a little bit how people were coming how they would see fit and what was the view from the german side on these guest workers who are calling. all ready in the sixty's germany had the same to cream in a cream and with with my rocor and two museum right with turkey so that came out ready as well and from tunisia as well but basically from the local guest workers it passed a little bit a notice. me train with them and you know it was some hole invisible but this interesting for me also to see how the people tried and i'm game to try to to invoke themselves in that political movement some to ask for that rights and. that

is what we wanted to show here as well that the migrants were in tier like then it's not something that you only can talk about but that you half and wants to you know so we show on this side we showed we have here an opposition that has won the voice of the my quince and here as well the wards of. the discussion in the german society with all the fears and. prejudice and already in the in the in the eighty's the ship is full and here we have a sense that it's fascinating. character to chose the current dorm the cathedral in cologne surrounded by minarets so representing the fear of a completely overwhelming that. movement in germany and that is four thousand nine hundred eighty six. despite islamophobia dating back decades the overall attitude towards foreigners in germany's is still inclusive in

a certain time to kick me out of the house. and. it was very heavy want to go to children they have a name i think. first and last which was also a big problem for my parents they wanted them to be have to german last name at least and they asked me all the time why do you choose arabic names they have names they live in germany. they should consider being germans it makes it not easy for them as well sometimes in school or even if they apply for jobs so. they can have a disadvantage of course with. senator marco came to germany in one nine hundred eighty to train as a psychotherapist his motives father and gardeners ex-husband. you saw the miners

that by saying that we don't know or that the world is a dangerous place or everybody does it he thinks it makes him look strong it actually makes him look weak it means that our allies don't respect us our enemies don't fear us. what is driving this i don't know whether this is simply an affinity that he has for autocrats he seems to choose them repeatedly over his own intelligence agencies or whether there's a financial motivation that is his own personal finances we do know of course he has openly bragged about how many millions he makes from saudi arabia in uganda thirty one bodies have been recovered from lake victoria after a boat capsized on saturday overcrowding and bad weather being blamed for the disaster at least one hundred people were thought to be no aboard the party boat at the time of the incident over three thousand women have marched in the spanish capital to mark the un's international day believe a nation of violence against women two days after a spanish court failed to convict two men of rape there's the headlines new

mine or an american thought so no. fear as part of. a little more i ask yes of about how he raised his children that worked one year chloral there are four hundred mostly when i was young me to even little thought was that the really maybe are for can have a bit too. young. to mark his fiftieth year in germany yes it a lot to be both a four thousand euro advertisement in local newspapers thanking germany for welcoming him five decades earlier and for granting him citizenship i miss out on the shore were enormous so visuals of money a government. sometimes i feel each one of the half a million arabs who came to germany before us has had a different experience and no just different feelings towards their adopted

homeland. since the exodus from syria and iraq in particular the arab population in germany has tripled. it's very difficult for us to go back to our countries because our people there they haven't been this this long way with us in the monsoon was born to egyptian and lebanese parents and came here after marrying a german forty five years ago she grew up speaking french and the shy to express herself an arabic always kept the contact with with my culture with my people so they feel very it is and always said they say immediately i'm german but my mother comes from it's a very proud of it my goal was always to see the good show the good side of the arab so that i accept that the music the literature the good my now there was be thirty we have so many nice things so why only show those those ugly things hindes

time it's their proppants not mine i'm different everyone is different she wants to go to be with you were talking about the men just said you know the man hole like this or still think you know those difficult call and for this and that nothing and those papers but don't think me. on my way to the train station i find that my taxi driver is iraq he. has lived in germany for thirty years he reluctantly agrees to an interview but only if we don't show his face it's not up to me to form an opinion and lacking i'll take that when one is seen to be still in the team on peaceful intentions. i don't see any like an understudy it could be the opposite the dolphins and the twelfth yeah unlike other kind gave it along

a senate seat and no one had thought out. and it can be a lot of black and fine. and to start with the know was son who accepted me. and so what about insanity or bad guys that i like can see it i don't think that it's. wrong that when i do this sort of play out on that side. for them if i can log on. to that that's in atlanta and. germany now has over one point five million arabs living in it sixteen federal states that's close to two percent of their population not a lot but enough to. we noticed. the older generation of immigrants appear to have assimilated. their children for the most part also assimilate but those who haven't

very different dresden was a center of german culture. germany's revolutionary priest martin luther came from this part of germany he was the founder of protestantism which began as a protest movement for social equality my refugee solidarity meeting is in the technical school of the university of dresden. and what is the first arabic and newspaper in germany it's for the arabic speakers here the newcomers and settled also but we have a lot of followers on facebook but you have fifty thousand people and how fast. there is no r.c. place right now for us i mean we are

a group of syrian and arabs so we don't speak unfortunately these activists are well intentioned but dealing with arab refugees is as new to them as dealing with german activists is for me on one side there was one of these stupid questions which came up always in the newspapers are going to get to discussions how much money does a refugee get already a refugee richard gets more money. than hearts feel. that a good person hurts for receivers are welfare recipients they give their claims that the german government spends more money on a refugee than on a poor german. the fact is refugees and hertz for recipients both get four hundred euros per person per month. he stood looking over the next state can't move you can.

say the city says the good news that they all got it. it's monday night in dresden near the beautiful square showcasing the cultural glory of germany's pos each week that he does the growing right wing movement claims a spot to protest against the government of i'm going to merkel who they regard as the principal enabler for the ista mys a ship of germany. to get us supporters are renowned for their hatred of the press and the police presence is partly to protect the journalists. but heins your claim was willing to explain what was going on and why is it the it's money how do i get because it's

good shop with a good long just years shop or both were tearing it up see i knew bill wolfie she qualified cuz she wanted me to budge the out stars who are you you need to go on as is saw the assumed past and you could see because. a little political pot tied the first of the dummy a sin defied on me and i was covered under as for being that sore disease i thought i was going to use of leave the on for good tour as in so noisy thunder ninety percent was the mission mentioned on my end far does these unmentioned nish in on so called tool so indeed peons it does move and feel the mention of years and as is the job done. you mention dizzy here with his the bacon is even born gustavus not so it doesn't kind of be a nazi disease got some olive go dark on. the

joist and i'm fucked us once again try and plots and. does your own sleep is a shut in schism that he cut his ear and can die jots on busy indeed night somebody kind here. he. was or was. you needn't even be able to but mention feedin in the eye nonetheless protest them last night and then also can put this in happening is that you can design finishing time in under six boys and. making sure that.

almost half the people in this berlin neighborhood are middle east and. it's been this way for decades so lucked out or so you can so no matter what the witness to learn are those that are just. so out of here are a coward lot of those are certainly guesses you want to build on the ground are going to hell for them. yeah you use a story how it was in life and it's. not something i did i was ease came to germany to look for work via italy where his family lives he says muslims face discrimination across europe. muslim and. the us the and this is usually. because underpins our rule was sure you were looking into one of the two i was wondering. who it was that had

the book and. i go to a newly opened syrian restaurant to see how hard it is for newcomers to find work. however to the status of the bottom of the ominous list of the most out of the out of the right look out. of the middle of how to help a lot of them are something straight on to thank my lawn with a lot. of love and love the world for him or myself in the. somebody had to but it was i want it i'm going to go with my mom it was the innocent we're going to differ about in the story of one of the populace not listening to your school or some of your floor with you for most of all. it's municipal election season in berlin and all the major parties except the right wing a have to have come to there's a two one zero mosque annoy could to woo arab voters as it's money even here in

kids you will find that i think it is in my the fish come to think you intended to and almost all the features. intense would. be nice. if he didn't sense my foot in east of. he did nothing. to eat the skins from underneath the. fish to eat even if it was easy. it is easy to. eat. a lot of mana the arab. be mad. but most of them fell into a bet. that at the queen my dorm. they

said and i think off into the office. and this with and without going into about the mail comes to be about as of the. eleven year old gods you had thought of to have me. into a bit of business but in the home if this kid i'm stuck by him for i know you can almost say moon feel intelligent koan in with you. but i don't wish that of course yes. will be is politicized to the cuff in holland in funk you need to learn to read in denmark. and if you can even under simitis muslim wants a new one. then get until it's for garnished and kind in dutch and alice movie you can see and couldn't do much and.

this is one of germany's famous welcome parties held in berlin as a way to get germans and refugees together. the merkel government was seeing they needed manpower for the work force were also aware of their humanitarian responsibilities something reflected in the actions of many ordinary german citizens. and i seen it happening to them and none of the other lot if they're not in the manner that if this is not just enlightening and that what dish i'm qualified to come but i'm too hot to have a hand with them or let the phone waiting because they had the money and if it didn't it will be at a hey you got to have something. to eat and have to give up something he she is told by a bump and not a single. peep

. my trip across germany has been an emotional roller coaster. meeting early arab immigrants who have found their peace as well as those still searching to balance their multiple identities. i met germans who have welcomed us. all those who fear us. and those who study us. and perhaps by coincidence i wrap up my journey at the german celebration of their own history. and germany is full of surprises.

i i i. feel that. it is here from this musician that i learned how arabs and germans have been linked for over

a thousand years. when see this position of magic want to. play with the other one yeah that's a media yeah i'm tough on this kid this. all been about us this man. we're nothing but often doesn't get something a little piece of music if you go from us to now that's come out and saucers on that one took forty cure you consent to open for it in this city oh not invulnerable to have music transferred to earthly good. gains or not like you for food only like you know and yes thursdays are all from making cloyd student. hosting it now and also not too good of you to look schmuck just diviners and come off against an instrument or. i'm left cautiously optimistic that one day germans will see arabs as a positive thread in the fabric of german society. and that we new immigrants will

find more than a refuge. but for those of us who wish to remain. germans will one day become a home. no one will ever know how many heroes dining here in all of. the chandelier is old like this broken this sort of looking bizarrely thank god goa was staring down of what humanity had done to itself but the vision that would not be surprising vision but it was surprising that that could happen in baby. was tells

. police use tear gas to disperse hundreds of migrants trying to breach the border fence between mexico and the united states. european union leaders approve of bricks it deal with the british prime minister still faces a tough battle to get it through their own parliament. thousands march in madrid to mark the u.n. . the elimination of violence against women. and sport the couple byrd to door it's final between boca juniors and river plate has been postponed until further notice to come to the day after the match was already put back after an attack on both a team boss led to chaotic scene. we start with some breaking news out of crimea ukraine's president has called an

emergency meeting of top military officials in response to rising tensions between moscow and kiev in the black sea russia had stopped three ukrainian navy vessels mentoring straight across the huge condo ship beneath a rebel controlled bridge ukraine accused russia of opening fire on its ships and ramming a navy tugboat officials from both countries are accusing the other of provocative behavior. joins us live now from moscow so we claim and counterclaim what more can you tell us about this escalating incident. well the latest that we have from the ukrainian navy is that in the various incidents today six ukrainian naval personnel have been injured and three boats or ships have been damaged. from what we understand from the ukrainian navy two of those are being towed away by the ukrainians one of them though is still in the

hands of the russians so as you said you pray is calling for a u.n. security council meeting today there also a military cabinet meeting that's been convened by the ukrainian president petro poroshenko the russians have a very different take on this they say that they closed the curt strait earlier on because three ukrainian naval ships had entered russian territorial waters without permission they also say that they have conclusive evidence that this was all a provocative provocation from the ukrainians and they say that they have the evidence to prove this and they're going to release it's they haven't done so yet as far as we can see so yet this is a day of significant escalation in a situation that has been brewing for some time it's been

a kind of tinderbox in the as of c. and the circumstances now seem to be escalating we have to hope that this is not going to escalate any further i mean just in the last couple minutes red had that the e.u. has called on russia to restore freedom of passage in the straight after that tell you krane ship incident remind us a bit of the background of why this is such an area of such tension. well it's very tense basically because this is water a body of water that should be shared between russia and ukraine but of course the mind on revolution and the russian and exhaustion of crimea relations are very sour between russia and ukraine and the as of sea where it's actually situated basically has crimea on the western shoreline and russia on the eastern shore line and ukraine on the northern shoreline so. the

access to the actual sea is basically now under a bridge that the russians of recent recently built connecting the russian mainland with crimea the fact of the effectively giving them the ability to choke off the as of c. as you know a body of water that can be accessed by the ukrainian navy merchant ships except through so they now the russians essentially control the kurt straits which gives them. a significant degree of leverage over ukraine and that's why it things have been building up over recent weeks and recent months and we've seen it flare up today. thank you very much tear gas has been fired at asylum seekers trying to breach the fence separating the border between the u.s. and mexico hundreds of people from central america have gathered at the border on

the mexico side in the city of tijuana intending to apply for asylum in the u.s. all the u.s. entry points between san diego county juana have now been closed. i speak to a person in jordan in washington d.c. for more what more do we know about the incident on the border in particular. well or and there's some confusion about which border crossings between san diego county in southern california and and other parts of northern baja california are closed we do know this on a c. throw which is the major crossing point between the u.s. and mexico is closed in both directions not just the united states having closed northbound entry but mexico has also closed its importance of entry southbound into baja california what we understand is that there had been a peaceful protest underway from some of the estimated five thousand migrants who

have gathered in t. juana hoping that they can cross into san diego so that they can apply for asylum however a few of them apparently broke away according to wire photographers who say that they tried to rush the metal fence which is more like railroad ties than actual chain link fencing and that when they tried to do so u.s. customs and border patrol then fired tear gas on them to push them back into mexico parent lee we understand that it was enough that children in the crowd apparently were coughing and wheezing from the effect of the tear gas we don't know if anyone was more seriously injured than that but this situation has been unfolding really in the last forty five minutes to an hour and it's not clear that things have been settled down but in response the u.s. customs and border patrol has closed all northbound traffic and that's affecting not just people coming from mexico or from central america but it's also affecting

u.s. persons as well who may have been in cali baja california for the thanksgiving holiday weekend and rose presumably this will provide to feather ammunition to president trump and his supporters. well it already has if you take a look at social media there is some people who are cheering the decision of u.s. customs and border patrol to close the port of entry sonas see the row there are others who are saying that it's the wrong way to respond to the situation earlier on sunday the u.s. president in the middle of a twitter. diatribe rampage talked about the need for mexican authorities to try to prevent these migrants from even reaching the border crossing in order to make an appeal for asylum on saturday there were a lot of confusion because it had been reported that the u.s.

had reached a deal with mexico to keep these people who want to seek asylum inside mexico while their applications are pending but the mexican authorities said at the time there was no deal that would contravene international authority and so this is certainly put this issue of immigration back on the president's radar and we expect that we will hear from him if not today then certainly in the coming week john thank you very much indeed. the head of the european commission has called it a sad day as the u.k. moves closer to leaving the european union e u need is have approved a final agreement for the u.k.'s exit from the brook despite their approval british prime minister to resign may still has a major battle ahead persuading m.p.'s to back the deal china how reports from brussels. it took european union members just half an hour to endorse the negotiated briggs's text and they did so unanimously

a momentous step on the road to bring. the mood was resolute this is the best possible move forward just the best possible for europe this is the only course. the place is somber and pointed guard how it will all end well think of. we will remain friends until the end of the day. and one day long. how it all ends depends now on whether the deal is indorsed by the united kingdom itself he the face of her critics to resume a must strike an upbeat tone what we see in this deal today is a deal that delivers for people delivers on the vote delivers in a way that protects jobs and livelihoods and security and all united kingdom and as i've said before i believe our best days lie ahead of us for the prime minister the

hard work is just beginning. leaders view brigs it now as a done deal they didn't want it but there's no need to sugarcoat it the british prime minister on the other hand has to sell the deal to parliament and to her own people she's got to convince them it's the best deal available. there is enormous opposition to may's deal at home and it could even be hardening with what's been described as her surrender on saturday over the future of gibraltar she handed spain and effective veto over future arrangements for the british territory the latest unpalatable compromise in the rising cost of breakthrough. if parliament rejects the deal in the coming weeks want them he was repeatedly asked if she would resign i've said before it's not about me and i will say it again it's not about me but my focus over the next few weeks. as i've just said i'm making the case for this deal with the outcome insert doubt the brakes it gave me see britain stumble

toward an exit without a deal. on louder voices suggest a second referendum on will to preclude the no hope russian. foreign minister years john from lists the deputy director of the think tank british influence thanks for coming in so we've already had the day you piece and they won't vote for this deal when it comes back to the british parliament and suggestions that many very own m.p.'s weren't either how difficult you think it will be for her to push this through almost impossible just in those two groups or even live in ace's any chance of getting a deal through because there was a chance there maybe some labor rebels would support the deal but there were even signs that some of the likely suspects were in do so and even if they were to do so they just wouldn't be enough labor m.p. support this deal and we had that to him.
