people around the world who have been forced to leave their homes seventeen percent of them are in europe the greek island of les paul's for example is now home to thousands of migrants the main camp there is the maria refugee camp but it is those outside the camp and makeshift homes who live in particularly squalid conditions and tensions with the local community are rising. has this exclusive report from less. can barely move his fingers it's the morning after another cold night on the greek island of lesbos. and his friends ran out of firewood long ago. and now they'll use what's left of this cardboard box to heat today's first cup of tea. from iraq he's been here on the island of lesbos for two months now in a makeshift camp just outside the morea refugee camp. a water.

course. we are many. through but we don't have. a different here just for. next door is the official camp it looks like a high security prison made for refugees that have come to the greek islands in the hopes of continuing on to north and europe they have to wait here until their asylum applications have been processed authorities strictly for bit filming here. who are ever you'll look you'll see garbage and thesis and people living right in the midst of it the refugee camp is full far beyond its capacity and with more people arriving than leaving conditions here are getting worse every day.

wants to show us what's happening inside the camp so we follow him with a hidden camera. the air is filled with the stench of smoke garbage and feces the united nations high commissioner for refugees or u.n.h.c.r. recently said that moria was dangerous for women and children but they are the ones who must stay here. it seems like a miracle that epidemics haven't spread within the camp yet. please don't give. me just. security what. you see. many refugees have taken matters into their own hands to stay warm knowledge that it's getting colder they simply lied old trees. these trees belong to local

residents feel this and still use visits his fields he has to struggle to maintain his composure. well off then about all these trees are burnt anybody there's nothing left of these trees won't grow again they're finished there one hundred twenty trees and now there's only four of all of the others and nobody cares the authorities won't stop this they got in a fight or compensate us every night these people cut down the trees and burned them. there with. the village of moria is in a state of emergency. in other villagers me to regularly to discuss ways to deal with the situation with. the local mayor nikos truck haley's has just returned from talks with the greek government in athens the news isn't good. if the situation goes on like this it won't take long before we have physical

confrontation up to now we are tolerating the looting of people's assets and it's fortunate that things haven't become violent yet. but it's a matter of time before that happens. left his country to escape violence he doesn't want to be lumped together with lawbreakers he wants to leave less because but for now a ferry take it to athens remains just a distant dream. my duties all over salad reporting there. now prosecutors in turkey have called for the release of a turkish german journalist on trial in istanbul the judge in the case is reportedly considering the request michel atoll who is accused of being a member of an armed terrorist organization and of spreading terrorist propaganda machine was working as a reporter and translator for a left wing turkish news agency when he was arrested at the end of april michel

atos three year old son lived with his mother in prison for several months. thoughts go to debut correspondent dorian jones is standing by in istanbul following these court proceedings for us what's been happening today. for us in quite a surprising the prosecutor at the beginning of the hearings made a request of all those being held in in detention during this trial should be released now it is not automatic that they will be released this is the up to the judge's discretion. and usually in these cases of charge transporters of prosecutors of vice told to tension throughout these hearings and her arrest has been particularly controversial given the fact she has a three year old son who spent much of a time in prison with his mother when can we expect a decision during. well as we speak now the judge is considering this is

in a forty five minute recess where he will deliberate over the request by the prosecutor and it won't be only just about her release from detention that will come in his mind it will also be whether she will be really given her passport back and be allowed to leave the country this is how it has been the case we've got another human rights activist. who was released from detention and he was allowed to leave the country you know her. lawyers will be pressing very hard that she will be allowed to leave the country with her child michel until there's a german turkish journalist and there is a german parliamentarian in court today also the ambassador does this all mean that these german this german pressure is now starting to work. well there has been this concerted effort by germany in the last month triggered by the surprise visit of the german foreign minister where he met with his turkish counterpart and they discussed at some length how to not she would say prove relations known talking about that at least to stop them getting worse and to try

and bring some normalized nation at least and one of the key demands of the germans easly the release of what they claim up its political detainees there is this feeling that many. among nationals including michelle autoload are being held as part of this ongoing tensions between our own course strongly reject that but there is this notion that he told the starting of globalization process will be the release of people like michele are told we've also seen some jerk apparent gestures fall on courtesy from germany the recent ending of a trial of turkish moms accused of spying in germany that will soon create a very positively here in turkey also we had the whole earlier this month i'll go america counselor with the turkish president where they would discuss the releasing of what you aid to turkey possibly in the region of a billion euros so all of these processes are seen as small steps to normalizing them and part of that is the key to the germans is the release of pressure apolo and also dhimmitude you know another german journalist losing cheerleader even

started his trial yet a lot of pressure will be on his release as well as a number of other german citizens being held in turkey considered as a political detainees. dorian jones a reporter with the latest there and from the court in a sample thank you dorian. now a bitcoin a seen an incredible rise in the past month alone and taken another step towards the mainstream monica more and more mainstream soon started trading on the huge chicago mercantile exchange futures market that was on sunday it received a look warm reception zero on its first trading day the price of a month's contract was down about five percent on sin bali and the listing comes a week after bitcoin began trading on the rival c.d.o. he its first appearance on a major exchange it quite soared in recent weeks rising twenty fold in value since the beginning of the year critics warned of a possible. sed. all right all of this apart from those

exchanges isn't really news so let's find out what's so exciting about this news daniel corp is joining us in frankfurt now daniel bitcoin ok is trading at the c b o e for a week now and now also at the c m e why is that such a big deal. well it is such a big deal monica because this is really considered as a new milestone for the because remember when the bitcoin started to being traded at first in two thousand and eight i guess nobody was dreaming that big financial institutions big stock exchange i mean fee m e n c b o e i one of the most recognized and well known stock exchanges in the united states once you are listed or being traded there this is really a sign that you have kind of arrived to the financial world and we have to remember that bitcoin futures are something different than normal bitcoin trading a bit coin future has some sort of regulations as well for example that c m e n c b

o e it's just traded couple of hours a day and there's also a limit of twenty percent that it can go up and can also go down ok so a major movement there but what is next for bitcoin itself i mean former bank chief actually says that it doesn't really fulfill the three main functions in order for it to be money because it's not an effective means of payment it's not a good measure of value and it's not an effective way to store value because it's inherently stoppable so what's the point of bitcoin. well for many investors it's really interesting because we also have to remember for example last week when the european central bank again announced that interest rates will stay here at a record level of zero percent also experts don't really expect that we will see big movements at the stock markets and next year so for many investors it's interesting because it's really a way you know to get something you know out of your money and also for many of

them of course it's very interesting it's not as regulated you know as for example traditional stocks ok i can hear the word regulation again and again that seems to be key in frankfurt thank you so much. officials in the united states say that power has finally been restored to atlanta airport the news comes more than ten hours a blackout at hartsfield jackson international led to the cancellation of over one thousand flights at the world's busiest airport a fire in an underground electrical facility course the outage destroying the airport's backup power supplies well thousands of passengers were stranded in atlanta and at other airports due to the. well this time of year you have a lot of classical concerts here in germany classical music is of course an integral part of german christmas culture that extends all the way to the country's corporate culture some of germany's biggest companies are having their very own

symphony orchestra swiss employees playing anything from the violent to the trombone playing together is not just fun it also boosts the team spirit and that of course is always good for the bottom line. what you heard of vita complicates the but talk she leads sixty accountants engineers and i t's specialists they have all swapped their computers for cellos violins flutes and assumes they are the s.e.p. orchestra maybe not as well known as the company's corporate software products but an important part of the business none the less. for what's called in the company that wants to advance and be successful it is very important that people are in harmony with each other that they are able to work in a team and cooperate there's no activity in the world where you have to react so quickly to each other and work together so well as an orchestra.

that's because each musician depends on his colleagues to achieve that perfect harmony they have to listen to each other respond at the right time at the well trained and prepared. that you have to practice if you want to get right. to. practice. and that's how it all fits together as sapient schubert bosch and yes the german auto parts maker has its own orchestra too in fact many of germany's largest corporations are tuned in among them siemens chemical firm. and all of the automakers are b.m.w.

and. it is in the german d.n.a. in germany it is a widespread competence to be able to play an instrument all those people playing an instrument are organized within the german music federation which has nine million members and that is more than the german football association and. that should make sure there's enough musicians for generations of company orchestras keeping the economy. well it's over to suit me now as a somber anniversary here in berlin so me that's right monica it's the anniversary of the first major islamist terror attack in germany one year ago tomorrow twelve people were killed and seventy hurt when a nice ameria tunisian national whose asylum application had been rejected hijacked a truck and plowed into a christmas market in one of berlin's busiest public spaces among the dead victims from the czech republic ukraine poland italy and israel seven germans were killed

the injured included citizens from fifty five different nations chancellor merkel is due to meet victims' relatives this morning and a memorial will be unveiled at the site of the attack tomorrow but many survivors and relatives of those killed feel german authorities and especially the chancellor have failed them in a moment we'll speak to a victim's representative but first a closer look at the fate of the first person killed in the parliament tack polish truck driver. takes candles to the grave of his son to question the first victim of the attack on the christmas market the walk to the cemetery in the polish town of banja has become a regular regional for her and her husband. campbell we come almost every other day we have to tidy up here because so many people come from all over poland even all of europe we have to take good care of the grave and visitors from both germany and poland come to lay flowers in the cemeteries only

a fifteen minute drive from the polish german border look our spare a few forgotten they expected more support and compassion from germany. they have yet to receive a letter of condolence from chancellor and young enough bones speak on camera too many tears she says the attack in berlin set at the usually tranquil region of western poland many locals are further dismayed by the way the german government reacted afterwards it was only in march this year three months after the attack that a commission of the relatives of the victims was appointed. i think none of us was really prepared to say that what happened in france could happen here oblivion as a result we made an error in judgment. it wasn't enough for the president of germany to speak with the victim's relatives. it should have been the chancellor that's

regarded as a major shortcoming on the part of the government. because mungo informed involvement. because an. angry at german authorities at the time of the attack he had at the trucking firm was the vehicle was high checked by the attacker. besides the biggest loss my cousin i had to shoulder enormous expenses because of the attack i didn't even say that early on. the remnants in this bag a fragment of the truck wreckage is evolved that the police returned to. his company was badly affected by the attack and the resulting investigation. there was the loss of my very expensive truck for one thing. i had to replace the tractor trailer i'd least.

then there were three weeks of inactivity and all the lost income relating to that . and of course multiple trips to berlin. received ten thousand euros compensation from the german foreign ministry the same a c. other victims' relatives the special commission. he's done everything possible to help. recover but a year after the attack the pain of loss is still very present for the family of obama. with us in studio now is he's the berlin state commissioner for victims of violent crimes to vapor thank you very much for joining us in our studio today do you think that the relatives of this christmas market attack have been treated well by the german government. depends on the first few days they have a it's this big lack of information. and also the relatives told me they had to

figure out for their own where they can find the real help and so this is going on till today so some people still not only said they are really angry about this why is it going on till today why is it taking so long. i can't explain it very clear because. if you see we did a lot in january force me was the first of the drive to give help and then there was mr back and his stuff but i can see it comes into the whole year if something's going wrong in the first few days or weeks it's very difficult to solve it later were you not getting enough support from the government we saw that the the victims' relatives wrote an open letter to the chancellor do you agree with the concerns that they raise their i can understand this very valid this letter this is their opinion why they are still an angry but i talked to most of

and here at davis some people told me they. still said they see that the german government is trying to improve the situation we are also made a lot here in the state of berlin we are building up new authority how to make it better the next time and so some still angry as a said they want to change more and they want to hear it especially from the chancellor that they are the survivors of the relatives but what about the city itself because you are responsible for the city of berlin there were reports in german media of hospital officials of police officials fully on equipped to deal with grieving families victims' families of this post the situation in the first few days also have to mit it was new for me we had no experience for the situation over there was no dealing how to handle this and so all for all of us it

was such a brand new situations where it was so difficult but we learned a lot and i think we can do it better it might be too late to be set any sort of help for the victims' families right now who are still grieving but what can be done differently what do you think specifically needs to change in the future in the future i think we have to change two points. first of all the main points are we have to reconstruct the whole structure we have to improve our laws we have to build these special offices in the so federal states and then we need more financial compensation financial compensation is a crucial aspect what about the act of remembering and commemorating we saw that poland for example had a funeral for lucas urban who we saw in that report where the polish president attended how important are acts like this also here in germany just i think this is very important to hold the handle it in italy and france and poland and so i think

we should do it better if a see if we did the situation right roland but the berlin state commissioner for the victims of violent crime thank you very much for joining us an interview. and for an even more in-depth look at this story there's a documentary coming up later today on d w the attack how terrorism came to berlin you can check out the dot com for the broadcast time in your area. moving on to some other news now and in sports bundesliga football leipsic needed three points to avoid slipping further away from leaders by munich after losing the last three matches hair to on the other hand were feeling confident after their midweek win against hanover here's what went down. davey celcom left light sick after making just two starts last season today he was in the first eleven for the six game running. and it took him just six minutes to punish his former employer five
