chestnut tree stand in memory of the deceased. to have them die after jumping out of the when those three of the girls were killed in the arsonists flames. one of the four perpetrators a sixteen year old neo nazi lived across the street from the with tips altogether four young men were sentenced to lengthy prison terms to motor racism. you see and. i feel no hatred towards the people of germany we are all brothers and sisters the german state and turkish governments have given me assistance but i will never forgive these four perpetrators. the arson attack and zoning in was the culmination of a wave of races attacks on immigrants and refugees in the one nine hundred ninety s. installing and grieving discuss transforms into indignation there were three triads for days. but back then there was a huge pedestrian zone here we walked through it and were shocked when we heard
11:04 am
about the attack. and said the day after the attack it was like a war zone here. shots were fired. they were burning tires on the streets it was a catastrophe. since them have again has called on her compatriots for reconciliation and peace the arson only worse theories are particularly difficult for a seventy five year old and her husband but it's important for her to remind people what happened that day her granddad her helps. give me a shot my wish is that we look towards the future. part that we treat each other with respect and are an example for the next generation. so many of my compact hits live in germany and i wish that we could all live respectfully and amicably together. in one hundred ninety six method again she was awarded the federal cross of merit for commitment against racism and revenge she has lived in germany for forty eight years leaving zoning was out of the question for her.
11:05 am
today a memorial commemorates the crime it symbolizes a destroyed swastika method again just please that turkish and german state representatives are coming to the memorial this year she's only concerned that a day of mourning is being instrumentalist politically and ideologically. so how far has germany common in combating racism over the last twenty five years or more of that let's bring in peter beers our chief political correspondent on the train the morning with the chancellor meeting with a survivor of the sewing and attack today certainly sending a very clear signal. absolutely this memorial today is being taken very very seriously and heard a concerted message go out from a number of men members of the government the foreign minister for example saying that the attack in salling and twenty five years ago was an attack on everyone and that the memorial today is
11:06 am
a mandate on all germans not to look away not to remain silent but to speak out we've heard similar messages from the justice minister from the government officers who's in charge of integration and the justice minister for example saying that she feels a sense of shame when she sees that even today there is still discrimination against people of migration background and and even a rise in attacks on migrants melinda let's pick up on the talk about germany today a country that wants to see itself as having him open and welcoming approach to foreigners has that changed in this regard has the country changed since oh oh. yes it certainly has changed in the sense that this is the country that took in nearly a million refugees in two thousand and fifteen it is the country where thousands and thousands of people are working every day with those refugees to try to help them integrate into germany and it's certainly
11:07 am
a country that looks and feels far more diverse than it did twenty five years ago and of course i say that also on the basis of personal experience simply in terms of what all of us see in daily life so that's the positive side the less less positive side is that in fact as we heard in the report following soling in there was for example a wave of murders of people of migration background committed by a far right cell from eastern germany and they were able to commit those murders with impunity over the course of more than ten years we are seeing today the rise of anti-semitic attacks some of them made headlines in recent months an attack even here in berlin which is viewed as a very diverse place we've also seen the rise of a far right party and as you know on berlin this week in berlin this weekend five
11:08 am
thousand people from all over germany demonstrated on behalf of that far right party one of whose heads for example has said extremely bitter and discriminatory things about migrants so it's a very mixed picture going forward but just that demonstration on the weekend we also saw twenty five thousand people demonstrating against the a.f.d. so as i said it is it is a mixed picture on the transaction very much a lot more of more from the commemoration later today. a cycle of doubt of the other stories making the news italy's populist alliance has promised to deny the new caretaker prime minister carlo cutter reli parliamentary approval how such a move would mean new elections in italy as early as august he was appointed by the italian president in a major setback for the populist alliance the top north korean general kimmitt young chawla has been spotted at beijing airport on route to new york is believed
11:09 am
to be the highest profile visit to the us by a north korean official in years this trip is reportedly in preparation for the planned summit between the two countries' leaders. thousands of people in cuba have been forced to evacuate as sub tropical storm alberto brings havoc on the island forcing the shutdown of the main highway system in the central province of alone seven thousand people fled their homes were safe where it's. now it is one of the world's greatest aviation tragedies and mysteries and for years after a went missing malaysian authorities are now calling off the search for lost malaysia airlines flight m h three seventy in march of two thousand and fourteen the boeing aircraft disappeared over this south indian ocean it was on route from kuala lumpur to beijing with two hundred thirty nine people on board most of them chinese nationals now the search for this missing jet turned into the largest and
11:10 am
most expensive aviation hunt in history australia and china joined in scouring an area of some one hundred twenty thousand square kilometers all that was retrieved a few pieces of debris that washed up on the coast of africa the rest of the planes never locate it. a talk more about this with his data and he joins us from sydney where he's been monitoring the story for us the last four years there have been contradicting versions of exactly what happened emerging over the years what's the official version of what occurred well the official version is that this plane was taking off on time from kuala lumpur airport heading for beijing then turn left by any reason it was heading south from that time on and then most probably had a technical problem that's the official version and it is totally unclear what kind
11:11 am
of technical problem that could have been so we still a bit hope and wait that somebody will find the plane one day ok even in the official agencies responsible for the search where you are there are. there have been a number of of competing theories as to what happened. absolutely a lot of experts are very deep in that matter very keen to find out what really happened and there are different versions from different experts they are really some people saying it was a technical problem others said. what might have been a hijacker on board telling the pilots to fly to the south and the most popular version i have to say right now is that the captain of the aircraft committed suicide and took with him all the people all the passengers behind him
11:12 am
everything is not clear everything is unsure as long as we do not have the plane as we do not have the recorders the flight recorder the cockpit voice recorder so it's a lot of speculation now and nobody really found out what happened that day or what does that mean you know now with the official and even with the private search efforts as well called off will the relatives and loved ones of those on board ever have n.t. any certainty at all as to what happened well these. relatives of the victims will definitely go on putting pressure on the government of malaysia but i'm not sure that it will help what we hear here from the australian officials from the australian experts is that they are absolutely sure that this plane will be found one day but that can be in the far far future of the hermann forest in said they following the story for us from there thanks very much it's to peru now

11:14 am
their best view from above. their discovery was thanks to the use of drones. it used to take weeks if not months to survey an area like this it was also very expensive now we can do the same work with much greater precision in minutes. identified from the air the archaeologists now plan to visit the giant drawings on foot for the first time. it's hoped they might solve one of the world's greatest archaeological mysteries. well here's something now to get your pulse going on your appetite as well a cheese chaser that's right the cheese chaser has broken the all time record after winning the annual cheese rolling race every year i held on the southwest of england becomes a say for the spectacle a four kilogram double gloucester cheeses roll down cooper's hill on then people chase after rick prisoners than one again this year is now taking home twenty two
