but throughout centuries of change and challenges, the pope still remains one of the most powerful men on earth. a treat for pyongyang. hosting a k-pop concert even as the u.s. and south korea hold military drooils drills. plus, the future of some young u.s. immigrants is now up in the air as president trump says no more daca deal. and later, welcome home, even if only in pieces. china's wayward space lab returns to earth. hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and of course all around the world. i'm rosemary church, and this is "cnn newsroom."

well we have seen north korea's leader clapping before, often after he tests a new weapon. but sunday was a very different. [ applause ] kim jong-un came out for a landmark concert by a group of south korean artists, including k-pop stars red velvet. it's the first time south korean performers have played in the north in more than a decade. sunday's diplomatic push also included this event, the south korean tae kwon do team put on a display for thousands of north koreans. they kicked, jumped, and even did their own k-pop dance. the shows are a sign of better ties for the koreas. but they also come as the u.s. and the south kick off annual war games. and those will be short their year, but are set to be similar in scale to past drills like these.

for more we turn to cnn's alexandra field who joins us live from seoul. good to see you, alex. how significant is this moment in north and south korean relations, pop stars from the south performing for kim jong-un in pyongyang, and as the leaders of the two nations prepare to meet. what all can this form of music diplomacy achieve? >> well, rosemary, if you consider where we were just six months or a year ago when we were talking about tensions on the peninsula reaching really a fever pitch, this is clearly a significant step forward to see this delegation of south korean artists taking the stage in pyongyang, and then the surprise element of having kim jong-un himself in the audience applauding, seemingly to cheer this performance, and then going on to meet the performers offstage. he was reported by south korean news that he hopes a similar exchange will happen with north korean artists traveling to

seoul. perhaps he suggested in the autumn. this comes the heels of another significant performance when you did see north korean artists go to south korea. they performed on stage as part of festivities surrounding the olympics. at that time, you had the south korean president moon jae-in in the audience. so this was certainly reflective of that. these are powerful images, though, to see this. you have the you knowification ministry here in south korea reflecting on the fact that this is a sign of a more amicable relationship. so clearly tremendously quick progress, all of that happening in the run-up to this important meeting, which is now scheduled to take place at the end of april when kim jong-un and moon jae-in will actually sit down face-to-face. the artists who were selected to make this trip said they felt this was their job to go there to put on the best show possible, but also to win hearts. they really believe they'd had a diplomatic role to play here in doing that. last week i spoke to one of the artists traveling as part of this delegation. he said he made a similar trip about 16 years ago at the time. he said it was awkward to perform in front of the north

korean audience. they weren't familiar with the kind of music he was playing. but he was interested to see what the reception was this time. you can tell from the images, it was a warm one. people are celebrating this as an important moment and an important step forward. >> it certainly was. and this all comes as the united states and south korea begin annual military drills. how might things be different this time around? >> well, they're different from the get-go, really, rosemary. it's interesting that we have not as members of the media here in south korea received any awareness of any opportunity to go out and film some of these drills there. the past it's typical that we would go out on some of these drills. these images would be seen around the world and some in pyongyang. these are exactly the drills that north korea objects to every year. they see them as preparation for an invasion even though the south korean forces that participate say they're simply for defensive measures. but to note how this has changed this year, there hasn't been any awareness of access that the media could have to these

drills. that seems to be in an effort to keep tensions at a low point before this summit does happen. other tangible steps that we're taking to reduce the tension here was the delay in starting the drills. typically they would start around march 1. that is when you had the winter olympics going on in south korea. these were held until april in order not to conflict with the olympics, in order to not create more tension on the peninsula, and also we're seeing them happen an abridged period of time. yes, the u.s. says they haven't changed the scope or scale of the drills. but the drills will only last a month. that's mean they would wrap up before any potential sit-down could happen between kim jong-un and president trump. and we know that that could happen as soon as may. rosemary? >> yep, indeed. a lot of developments there. alexandra field joining us live from seoul in south korea just after three income the afternoon. we thank you. as immigrants are marching through mexico towards the united states, u.s. president

trump says he no longer supports a legislative compromise to protect undocumented immigrants brought to the u.s. as children. and you're looking at some of these so-called caravan of more than a thousand migrants from central america. they're fleeing violence and poverty, and some are planning to apply for asylum in the u.s. activists have organized this pilgrimage in previous years. they say it's safer for migrants to make the journey in a group. and the march seems to have caught the attention of the president this year. he tweeted this. mexico is doing very little, if not nothing at stopping people from flowing into mexico through their southern border and then into the u.s. they laugh at our dumb immigration laws. the president ends the tweet by writing, quote, need wall. our boris sanchez is traveling with the president and has more

now from west palm beach in florida. >> no confirmation yet from the white house on why the president chose easter sunday to send this message about immigration. but we can kind of surmise what was going on around the time he sent these tweets and made this statement shortly before the president tweeted, there was a report on a cable news outlet about this caravan of immigrants that is moving through central america and into mexico, some of them with the intent of asking the united states for asylum to thereby enter the country. the president obviously angered by this report. and so he fired off these tweets demanding that mexico do more to stop the flow of immigrants, and also in his words, to stop the flow of drugs from entering the united states. the president threatening to end the north american free trade agreement if mexico doesn't act. the president was met by cameras shortly before entering a church for easter service on sunday morning in west palm beach. here is more of what he said. listen.

>> mr. president, what do you mean no daca? >> mexico has got to help us at the border. if they're not going to help us at the border, it's a very sad thing between two countries. mexico has got to help us at the border. and a lot of people are coming in because they want to take advantage of dhaka. and we're going to have to really see. they had a great chance. the democrats blew it. they had a great, great chance. but we'll have to take a look. mexico has got to help us at the border. they blow right through mexico. they send them to the united states. it can't happen that way anymore. thank you. >> one notable piece of what the president said there, that more immigrants are rushing to try to get in on the action on daca. that doesn't exactly coincide with what the daca program actually entails. individual eligibility aside, president trump ended this program back in september, essentially making it impossible

for any new arrivals to the united states to apply for daca. of course, courts have ultimately ruled that the dreamers within the united states staying here with dhaka eligibility will be able to remain that is they would be able to renew their legal status through the courts as this process plays out. but for the president to say that a dhaka deal is dead is a bit surprising considering weeks ago, several it reagans of a deal for these dreamers fell apart in congress. so it appears that the president is taking a bargaining chip off the table that was already gone. boris sanchez, cnn, traveling with the president in west palm beach, florida. >> and mexico's foreign minister responded to mr. trump's tweets. he wrote every day mexico and the u.s. work together on migration throughout the region, facts clearly reflect this. and inaccurate news report should not serve to question this strong cooperation upholding human dignity and

rights is not at odds with the rule of law. happy easter. political analyst peter matthews joins me now from los angeles. he is also a professor of political science at cypress college. good to have you with us. >> good to be here, rosemary. >> so mexico's foreign minister, as we heard there, thinks his country and the u.s. are working together every single day, displaying strong cooperation on migration. that seems to be at odds with how president trump views the relationship. what do you make of these two very different views of what's happen right now between the two countries? >> they're just as different as being on different sides of the border. and president trump doesn't seem to understand daca. because any daca eligible person has to arrive in the united states by 2007. these folks coming up to the border to apply for political asylum or what have you would never be eligible for it to begin with. trump needs to understand the policy before we can even deal on it. i think -- midterm elections.

that's why -- hard line. >> all right. okay. i don't know whether it's me, but i can't hear you very well. okay. all right. everyone is having problems. we're going to try and reestablish that audio and get back to you in just a moment. thank you so much. well, china is raising tariffs on more than 100 imports from the united states. the chinese finance ministry says it's because new u.s. tariffs on steel and aluminum imports have, quote, seriously damaged chinese interests in order to balance their losses, they say they're leveling a new 15% tariff on 120 fruit products and a 25% tariff on eight pork products. china says its moves are legitimate and based on world trade organization rules. let's take a short break. but still to come, more on the landmark concert held in north korea. what the k-pop show might mean

for the korean summit. that's still to come. plus, all eyes to the sky as a chinese space lap meets its fiery end. we will have a live report on its demise. we're back in a moment.

welcome back, everyone. we were experiencing some audio issues with our guest, political analyst peter matthews. but we appear to have fixed those, and he joins us again. so, peter, let's take off where we left off before. and of course, the march of asylum seekers towards the u.s. border appears to have infuriated mr. trump over the weekend. he tied the immigrant march to the daca deal, confusing a number of people in the course of that and saying new immigrants want to take advantage of daca. what did you make of that, considering daca really, it affected young people before 2007. >> that's right. i wasn no one coming now would be eligible for daca. mr. trump doesn't even know the details of what he is negotiating or what he wants to do with his daca.

and i think he is playing to his base to a large extetenextent. he doesn't understand the real reason why people come to the united states from mexico. it has to do with economic. it has to do with the uneven playing field with very low wage labor in mexico. so many american corporations go there and pay low wages to workers there and drive them off of their farms through american subsidized exported agriculture. and the poverty rate is very high there now. and people come because desperation as do central americans. he's got them cop confused completely. he didn't know those were political refugees coming from central america asking for asylum. it's different. >> and what's also confusing about all this is most polls show that about 90% of americans support a daca deal. so why would mr. trump turn his back on this? >> it is absolutely true.

90% are brought here by their parents. they don't know any other country, they have grown up in mexico. they stay here because they're very exemplary students. they're high achieving students. maybe trump is not getting it that most americans want to give these folks a chance to use the country that they live in to achieve something in life. he is only looking at his 33% of the base of the voters of his base that actually want him, maybe he is thinking they're tough on anti-immigrant. he is trying to stick to the same rhetoric he had during the campaign, hoping to win those people back again that supported him and their die-hard anti-immigrant. i'm not sure what they're thinking. he's not thinking very clearly in my view. >> he has confused a lot of people along the way. peter matthews, i'm glad we were able to fix the audio issues we experienced. many thanks. >> thank you. british authorities believe they have a clue that points to the nerve agent attack against a former russian spy straight to the kremlin. last week officials revealed that they think whoever poiso d

ed sergei skripal and his daughter yulia put the nerve agent on the front door of skripal's home. now a source based on the investigation tells cnn they believe a move like that was too sophisticated for a rogue agent and likely needed kremlin approval. doctors say yulia skripal is improving rapidly, but her father remains in critical condition. well, tensions between russia and the west are escal e escalating even further after the nerve agent attack and accusations of kremlin involvement. now russian state media are reporting that the military successfully tested and upgraded an air defense missile. it's just days after the country released footage of the test firing of the new intercontinental missile nicknamed satan 2. the kremlin has now accepted the resignation of the governor of the kemerovo region after a deadly mall fire claimed the lives of 64 people. it was one week ago flames

ripped through the winter cherry mall during the first weekend of spring break. 41 of the dead were children. the governor says he couldn't remain on the job after that tragedy. >> translator: i consider this decision correct, deliberate, and the only thing to do. because it is impossible to hold the post of govern with such a heavy burden. it is impossible morally. i wish you and your families peace and to be well. >> a number of people have been detained as officials investigate that fire. among them, the mall director and a security guard who failed to activate an alarm. well, the insults are flying between the leaders of turkey and israel. they are trading barbs over israel's response to protests in gaza. 17 palestinians died in clashes with israeli forces on friday. on sunday, turkish president

recep tayyip erdogan said this about israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >> translator: hey, netanyahu, we don't have the shame of invading. you are an invader. you are occupying those lands as an invader. at the same time, you are a terrorist. >> mr. netanyahu was equally scathing about mr. erdogan, tweeting. this he who occupies northern cypress encroaches on kurdish territory and massacres civilians in afrin cannot preach to us on values and morals. well, tensions, meanwhile, remain high in gaza following friday's deadly violence. funerals were held through the weekend for some of the 17 palestinians who were killed in the worst unrest in the region in four years. more than 1400 palestinians were injured in the clashes with israeli troops. israel is rejecting calls for an inquiry into what happened.

the confrontations in gaza have subsided somewhat, but protesters tell cnn their march of return is not over. ian lee has more now on the demonstrations. >> reporter: we've witnessed the numbers of marchers dwindle, but the violence continues. the march overturned called for gazans to cross the border fence and return to lands lost in the 1948 war which are now in israel. this comes as the international community has called for inquiries into the recent violence. the european union has called for an independent probe, and the u.s. blocked a statement on the violence at the u.n. security council. israel's defense minister victor lieberman said flat-out that no investigation will happen. despite the violence, organizers say the march of return is far from over. they call for continuation of the pressure for the next six weeks. moving forward, we'll be watching for a repeat of friday's violence. israel says it reserves the

right to use whatever forces necessary to protect their sovereignty and prevent any breaches of the border. but when we talked to a number of gazans, they say that's exactly what they plan to go. one palestinian told me they crossed over before, and they'll do it again. and that will increase the likelihood of more violent days to go. kian lee, cnn, jerusalem. the syrian regime is moving closer to fully retaking the rebel enclave of eastern ghouta. members of one armed rebel group have evacuated dume douma. 1100 civilians and rebel fighters left sunday, heading towards idlib. tens of thousands of people have already fled eastern ghouta after weeks of area bombardments that have caused more than 1500 deaths. well, china's out-of-control space lab has met its fiery end.

china's space agency says tiangong-1, or heavenly palace has plummeted back to earth right into the middle of the poefgs. most of these spacecraft burned after reentry. it had been slowly falling out of orbit since it last contact with earth two years ago. and cnn's ivan watson joins us now with more from beijing. so ivan, it started out the size of a school bus, hurtling toward earth, but ended up being no threat at all. how did this all play out? and what triggered this in the initial stages? >> well, the heavenly palace, or the tiangong-1 was first launched into space in 2011. it was china's first space lab, rosemary. and it successfully completed several missions. chinese astronauts made a number of visits to it over the years. in 2017, china informed the united nations that the

tiangong-1, in its words, fully fulfilled its historic mission. and basically, it had lost contact with the space lab. in fact, it revealed at this point that it had lost contact some 14 months earlier, and didn't explain how this had in fact unfolded, what potentially could have gone wrong. at the time, the chinese-manned space agency said it was going closely monitor this and said it was going to be a safe descent, though it clearly was going to be out of the control of the chinese manned space agency. so you had a number of space, a as well as just amateurs following the dissent, the deteriorating dissent of this space lab for days now, and trying to predict when and where it could kind of finally touch down. but most experts were warning, as were the chinese, that there was very little threat to any

aviation or anybody on the ground from this space lab, which weighs about 8 1/2 -- weighed about 8 1/2 tons. it was about 12 meters long. again, the size of a bus and most of it is believed to have burned up on reentry,ed on its way to the south pacific. some experts predicting that it is likely that very few pieces of debris made it all the way down to the ocean from the atmosphere. rosemary? >> good to see you. happy ending. all right. ivan watson joining us there live from beijing where it is nearly 2:30 in the afternoon. the fired u.s. secretary of veterans affairs is no longer in charge of the second largest government bureaucracy. but the controversy other his departure, that's far from over. plus, more on k-pop diplomacy in north korea. how a breakthrough concert might translate into actual policy. we'll take a look. you wouldn't accept an incomplete job

the president called on republican lawmakers to pass strict border laws. there is new information on the nerve agent attack on a former russian spy in the united kingdom. a source briefed on the investigation tells cnn authorities believe the kremlin likely approved the attack because the nerve agent was placed on the victim's front door. they say that move is too sophisticated for a rogue agent. and costa rica's presidential runoff election, the candidate who supported same-sex marriage has con decisively. with most of the votes counted, carlos alvarado has won about 60% of the votes. he defeated this right wing preacher who campaigned strongly against same-sex marriage. well, now for the latest on the story we're tracking out of the korean peninsula. north korea's leader has attended a landmark concert by south korean artists in

pyongyang. kim jong-un clapped at the concert and reportedly took pictures with the singers. the musical diplomacy comes ahead of a meeting between mr. kim and south korean president moon jae-in. that is set for april 27th. a north korean summit with u.s. president donald trump could also be in the works. all this of course signals better ties on the peninsula. but the u.s. and south korea are also holding annual war games. they kicked off this weekend. but they are shorter than past drills like the ones seen here. well will talk than and all the developments. for analysis, i'm joined now from bussan in south korea by robert kelley. he is a associate professor at bussan national university. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >> so the world has witnessed this incredible shift in north and south korean relations. in just a matter of months, culminating in this musical

diplomacy on the korean peninsula. and all the summits we're waiting for now and the talks between both sides, both nations, what do you make of how far they have come? and what all do you think could be achieved? >> right. i think so far it's been good atmospherics, but not too much more. the olympics were nice, and the musical troops and the shows and things like, that there has been sort of shared cultural events. all that is great. it sets a mood and gets the ball rolling. we've had difficult times in the past. all this is progress, but it's still basically window dressing. it's really atmospherics. we need to find out what the north koreans are willing to offer us. the americans and the south koreans are going to see real movement from north korea. we can't just sort of give the north koreans concession. the north koreans have got to give us something on missiles and nukes particularly. so far in the last three or four months, no proposals have yet been floated. i think that's what everybody is

waiting for. what are they going to offer that they haven't in the past. >> we haven't too long to wait, have we? the leader of the two koreas will meet on april 27th. and kim jong-un will meet face-to-face with president trump in may if that guess ahead. pretty much an unthinkable meeting just a matter of weeks ago. what would you expect to come out of these two historic summits? >> i'm rather skeptical. my own sense these will probably be a bust, particularly with president trump. the moon one will probably be better. president moon has been working on north korea going back 25 years. he was a part of the last liberal administration ten years ago that pushed the sunshine policy. he knows the issues and can get in there and slug it out in detail. i'm skeptical that president trump can do that. i don't know. i just don't know that what the north is going to give president moon. moon was only elected with 41% of the vote. he is going to face crushing

criticismed in the conservative press if he comes back with a deal that makes him look like neville chamberlain. the north koreans need to give us something substantial, like access to the sites, a missile count, something real. that's the only way you're going to sell to it the hawks here and in washington who are suspicious of this. >> is there a risk that someone might get played here by kim jong-un, specifically president trump? >> well, i'm concerned about that. if you sort of look at the way the president has governed, for example, the chaos that has routinely come out of the white house, if you look at the fact that secretary of state tillerson was fire and adviser mcmaster, there is a lot of churn at the top. it's not clear who the north korean point person is at the white house or in the state department we don't have an ambassador for u.s. here in south korea. there is not an undersecretary for east asia there is a lot of open spaces. and the president himself doesn't really know a great deal about korea. we know he doesn't read a lot. this is what i'm really sort of concerned about is that trump is going to walk in there and he is just not ready for this, right?

my own sense, it would be better if the north american was postponed and the americans had a chance to hammer out talking points and at least we have some sense of where we're going. in south korea it's easier because moon jae-in has worked on the issue for such a long time and people know what he wants why, do you think we are seeing this very different approach from kim jong-un? i mean, we talked about we thought he was playing mr. trump. but do you think there is a possibility that he is shifting who he is, or he is just shifting his approach to the outside world? >> sure. i think the north koreans are probably thinking they have nothing to lose by having these summits now because they've probably got the weapons. it's almost certainly clear now. the technical people, most agree the north koreans can strike the continental united states with a nuclear weapon. how now that they've got that, why don't you see what you can get for it. now they've got it. why not meet anybody and everybody and see if they'll

offer you everything for it? if they don't you go go back. they're going to meet with abe of japan. they met with the ioc. they met with xi jinping. basically look likes the north koreans are saying we're open for business. we have these things. what are you going to give us for them. that's actually pretty smart. >> quickly, the u.s. and south korea military drills that got under way on the weekend, they're going to be different this time around. they're going to be shorter. does that signal some sort of compromise do you think? >> that's probably the americans giving moon some room to move on this. people are obviously in the south korean conservatives particularly are concerned about the alliance and they're worried that moon is going to go up there and gamble things away. moon has to make sure that this north koreans don't back out. he has done that in the past. it's a way to give moon a little bit of space so he can say i can cut a deal with the americans. i can hold them off on x, y, z, but you have to give something real. >> robert kelley, great to talk with you.

appreciate. >> thanks for having me. the fired u.s. secretary of veterans affairs is not leaving quietly. in an interview on cnn's "state of the union" david shulkin here on the left declined to fully endorse the doctor chosen by president trump to replace him. critics worry ronny jackson does not have the experience needed to lead the second largest bureaucracy in the u.s. government. meanwhile, the white house says shulkin resigned, but he says he was fired because of politics. >> i'm committed to veteran, and i'm committed to fighting for them. i would not resign because i'm committed to making sure this job was seen through to the very end? >> so you were fired? >> i did not resign. >> okay. let's move to the op said you wrote after you were fired. in recent months, the environment in washington has turned so toxic, chaotic, disrespectful and subversive that it became impossible for me to accomplish the work our veterans deserve. it should not this hard to serve

your country there are political appointees that maybe your life difficult according to sources close to you. the list includes the assistant secretary at the department of veterans affairs as well as senior advisers jake leinenkugel and at the white house aaron sell nick. did president trump himself set you up to fail? >> well, i don't think this was the president. the president is committed to improving the care for veterans. these appointees had a belief that there was a different way to do it than i was approaching it. >> david shulkin talking there to our jake tapper. public school teachers in two u.s. states may walk off the job in just a matter of hours in protests over their pay, which they say is too low. thousands of kentucky's educators are expected at the state capitol. they're upset about a bill that would overhaul state pensions and possibly prerest duce their

benefits. on friday, teachers in several points called out sick when the measure was passed by the state legislature. it's now on the kentucky governor's desk for signing. and thousands of oklahoma teachers also plan to walk out monday despite a $6100 pay raise approved by state lawmakers. the state teachers union says it's not enough. several teachers tell cnn they are working multiple jobs just to pay their bills. well, police in central florida say they stopped a potential mass shooting by seeing some clear red flags and acting on them before a potential tragedy. cnn's victor blackwell tells us what got their attention. >> reporter: the purchase of a rifle, a dramatic change in appearance, holding up inside his room, and a pricey shopping spree that included a corvette. a student at the university of central florida is being deported to china after the cool's police chief said there was red flag after red flag that

something bad would happen. >> we just seayed a bunch of lives. there is no doubt about it. >> reporter: police started investigating 26-year-old when li sun this year after he made unusual statements to a school official. they flagged to it the atf and found out he owned an assault-style rifle and ammunition. when a detective referred to him, sun referred to his weapon as a sniper rifle, but said he never thought about hurting himself or others. days after that interview, sun bought a second assault-style rifle this one with a bipod and scope. official says he owned both guns legally. >> we know if one individual falls through the cracks, very bad things can happen. >> reporter: but then his visa was revoked due to an issue related to gun issues. he stopped going to class. >> i think there was a disaster about to happen and we stopped it. >> reporter: sun is held by immigration officials and is expected to be deported soon. and he will not be allowed to return to the u.s. for ten years. victor blackwell, cnn, atlanta.

new details surrounding an suv that plunged off a california cliff last week. the highway patrol now believe the suv crash may have been intentional. the car's software has indicated that the vehicle stopped at the road's turnout and then sped up towards the cliff. authorities say two adults and six adopted children were in the car when it crashed 100 feet down into the pacific ocean. three of the children are still missing. the bodies of two adults and the other three children have been found. just days before the crash, officials in washington state confirmed that they were investigating the family over alleged abuse or neglect. among the missing is 15-year-old devonte, who drew headlines just a few years ago when he appeared in this touching photo at a protest. we'll take a short break here, but still to come, a german artist has a unique way to honor

a small but powerful memorial honors every life lost in the holocaust. they're called stumbling stones, and so far there are more than 67,000 stretching around the world. but as atika shubert explains, not everyone is on board with this simple remembrance. >> reporter: artist gunter deemnick removes a slab of berlin pavement and carefully inserts three inscribed plaques with the names of the jacobson family. 75 years ago, this is where they lived before they were sent to auschwitz and murdered. there. >> is a place to be remembered.

>> reporter: these are stumbling stones, and it's an extraordinary memorial to the more than six million killed in the holocaust. the concept is simple. a plaque for every person killed. it began more than 20 years ago, and it now stretches across 22 countries, 67,000 stones and counting. the largest memorial of its kind in the world. demnick shows us how each one has a story to tell. >> you have to bow your head, you stumble with your head and heart. >> it brought tears. >> reporter: irene wine gartner's grandmother lived next door to the auschwitz family. one they didn't return home one night, their grandmother took his 8-year-old boy to be with her in detention. not knowing they would be killed. that's why she had him to install the stones here and she invited the local school to attend. >> all my life i knew about it.

and so it was important for me to tell other people. i hope it will help so that things like this will never happen again. >> reporter: germany has worked to ensure the horrors of world war ii are not forgotten. schools are required to visit holocaust memorials. but germany's culture of remembrance is being challenged by the afd, or alternative for germany, a nationalist far right party that is now the largest opposition party in parliament. afd lawmaker wolfgang did ondemand an end to the stumbling stones. he refused to talk to cnn but referred us to this statement instead. "the stumbling stone initiators impose a culture of remembrance on their fellow human beings, dictating to them how they should remember, who, and when. who gives these obtrusive moralists the right to do so?"

his demand was rejected by a local official, but it sparked a national debate about how germany should remember its world war ii history. irene winegardner had some harsh words for the afd. >> those people who think they are good germans are very bad germans. and they refuse to remember what has happened, what has happened in germany and by the german people. >> reporter: demnick brushes off the recent debate. he wants the memorial to speak for itself. >> you can imagine my sadness about what happened. but then so many people are listed in. and that there is now a place they can remember. while they're going home and so now i can come to germany again. >> demnick knows he may never finish his work, but he has set

up the foundation so the work can continue for those who were lost.
