9:02 pm
people gathered tonight in the city's center of cabinets this time the numbers according to police were in the hundreds rather than the thousands and the scene was calm for the most part journalists were virtually targeted however there have been no reports of injuries. we're joining us from we're political editor the hill it could not get even to you miguel that we've got a development in the investigation into how the arrest warrant for one of the suspects in that stabbing death one of the migrants was leaked to far right groups this week we understand today a prison worker reportedly term tim self in as the leaker what more do we know. yes we also saw a facebook statement by the lawyer of this man and basically saying that he was aware that he might be able to do since dog but that he was unaware that he was acting illegally by publishing this this of course is illegal under german law because it has an impact on the investigation and there's also confident dental

information included in that including potential hints for who witnesses are so very sensitive information that was handed out and that of course raises suspicions of what sympathies there are from with if within those very police structures which already in the state of saxony do have a reputation of being somewhat protective of right wing demonstrations in this culminated in a different case that we saw just under two weeks ago where actually a demonstrator who turned out to be a member also of state structures in the state had a camera team stopped by police and held for forty five minutes which was then seen as being out of force and so it does raise some rather fundamental questions about fundamental a city is that it can only fuel suspicions that exist in germany but also outside the country that there is

9:05 pm
not hiding its affiliation at all with groups that are appealing to xena phobia. it is i mean for a very long time if the far right party actually did exactly that and said that there was some distance between them and peta it was also a sense that they were protesting that too much and they've since come around to actually cooperating with that bigoted group now there's three eastern states from the f.t. where represent sensitives have cooled for this march of silence as it's called including. i'm seen as the leader of the far right and the extreme right and of the alternative the posse here and many i had the opportunity to talk to its leader alexander galant today and i asked when i asked him what his party would do to stop the violence he said well basically it simply wasn't up to them and that was something for the police to secure for state structures but city the f.t. doesn't really see itself in
9:06 pm
a position where they would call for violence and then of course the conclusion is why should they because clearly there is so much political capital for the alternative for germany who have the same slogan as big a deal which is more so that they want to machall to go they want to see a complete turnaround on the migration policy here in germany our chief political editor michel cukier tonight on the story force here in berlin because i think you were here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world to you when the secretary general antonio terrorists has warned of a political or potential humanitarian disaster in northwest syria that's as the government prepares a major offensive to retake it live it's the west rebel stronghold in syria and home to be really three million people you were just calling for a humanitarian corridor to allow civilians to leave. a second day of memorial tribute has been held for the late u.s. senator john mccain who died last saturday mccain's casket was transported from the

supports a book the one enjoys especially among young people mainly because beatle campolo present during the seventies government seems to have a different perspective of the margin politician who is also bottling christened charges in court does the. moment and i don't think it is largely that that he's even viewed as the president to be or of course there's been a lot of framing around events are on him. by his p.r. group and on his. way he's been portrayed largely as a victim but this is just a fleeting moment it will probably pass. but the wine was voted to parliament last year in a by election where he defeated four challengers including one backed by president must've in. less than two years in office this singer has been strongly critical of governments. anyone who is
9:11 pm
a serious political needs to sit back and evaluate that quote is what the wayne rip presented when he talks about people power you know what is he trying to say. there any weight in the words that he's expressing to us today right and shouldn't the president get keyed on. the rig a star has enjoyed more than fifteen years of a success formulas a car you avoid he sees making it in entertainment has been an uphill struggle but challenging a government that has been in power for forty two years could prove to be his biggest struggle yet. italy's new populist government is demanding that the european union changed. the rules governing the rescue of migrants and seen in two thousand and fifteen the e.u. agree that all migrants picked up by its naval mission in the mediterranean would
