has a fatal flaw. and time to say goodbye fans from around the world prepare to bid their farewell final farewells to the queen of soul aretha franklin should be laid to rest in detroit later today. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us about a thousand far right protesters have staged another demonstration in the eastern german city of chemists police say the rally was tense but not threatening or marked by violence like a protest earlier this week at a nearby venue politicians held a town hall meeting with local residents some of them complained that officials are out of touch. get lost they chant.
12:02 pm
demonstrators are out in force again in chemnitz they're protesting against the town hall meeting with saxony state premier but some in this east german city want to engage with him. to inform. i want to talk to him about my feeling that many politicians don't know anything about their citizens anymore and don't know what's going on i saw a report that he was shocked by what's happening here but how can that be up if he is our state premier so management is the president for. the fatal stabbing of a german citizen over the weekend sparked violent anti immigration protests and what appeared to be vigilante attacks on people believed to be foreign and the authorities are also investigating several protesters for making the hitler salute . then an arrest warrant was late apparently by
12:03 pm
a law enforcement officer the man has since been suspended from jussi a federal state in crisis to lead to insects and pleading to his citizens to be courageous. and they should learn what countries are we want to live in. the rule of law and democracy is still the pillars of our peaceful life together. i'm standing up for that i'm fighting for that and i'm asking you all to join me. everybody is needed now to take responsibility and to get involved. so now can nits and the state of saxony remain on edge for the protests organized by right wing groups planned for later in the week. or more now i'm joined by hiker cleft who's been writing about violence and near nazis in germany since the nineteen. this class no let's first of all tell us why kermit why has that city become
12:04 pm
a flashpoint for anti immigrant for the anti immigrant movement in germany. cam that's has a long history of often very strong aga nice right wing movement it was home to the n.s.u. the national socialist underground in the late one nine hundred ninety s. early two thousand years from then they went into the new nazi underground to kill them at least ten people across germany of migrant descend and we see that the people who supported them back in the two thousand years are still active and among those who are now structuring and organizing the protests against refugees and migrants and we also see that candidates like many other towns in saxony one has to state is experienced spearing seeing
12:05 pm
a right wing mobilize they shouldn that found it within the protests that started already three years ago when refugees came to germany and larger numbers now police in saxony say they had not expected the far right to mobilize from all over germany so quickly were you surprised to see people from outside kennett's joining the demonstrations on monday. not at all and i cannot believe that the police actually says they were surprised because all over the social networks and you're not seeing who was mobilizing and telling their people their supporters to come to chemists and what they are planning to do is they want to see cam that's as the starting point to take over other towns and for what they claim is
12:06 pm
a racial walk. thank you so much for that like a cleft there journalist focusing on far right movements and she also works as a researcher for germany's left party and she was joining us from frankfurt. a lot of the focus in this discussion of course has been on candidates but what's the bigger picture here to talk about that i'm joined in the studio by a political correspondent nina. and you know we just heard about the extreme right seen in camden but there's also a lot of citizens of all over germany who say they don't identify with the far right but they are concerned about migrant crime in this country do they have a point. that is the big challenge for politicians these days of course you have to take concerned seriously there are large numbers of people who look different let's say natives who have arrived in cities like
12:07 pm
a miss where the never really used to be a big presence of foreigners so some people are plainly scared and they say this is changing my city but of course when you look at the statistics officially crime in germany is down it's actually are the lowest level for thirty years and especially migrant crime is down it went down from twenty sixteen to twenty seventeen by some twenty three percent so there is a paradox between the perception and the figures and the politicians have to really make sure that they don't let fall right groups right wing extremist groups camp so they see this paradox and essentially use it for their purposes for we talking for like to play a famous video clip that i'm sure many of our viewers will remember it's from three years ago today if they are good i say quite simply germany is a strong country approach has to be that we've achieved so much we can do this.
12:08 pm
you know it's often done something that we can do this and whenever we encounter obstacles they will be overcome they will be dealt with the government will do everything in its power along with the local and regional governments to do precisely that. this shop and us we can do this an iconic statement from chancellor merkel. it's proven her wrong in i would say candidates is the latest low point in a long string of events where machall has lost the narrative. the narrative has been claimed by the far right of the party and that changed in two thousand and fifteen when uncle make up medical came out and said in the us she didn't say how there was a very very surprising movement in germany the welcoming culture of the world at maya germany for its open and liberal approach to all those refugees coming to northern europe who were looking for shelter and initially germans were ready to help but then lots of local initiatives after
12:09 pm
a while said they were they felt lost they felt alone they were not supported enough by the federal politicians so what needs to happen now and what the cabinet seems to have understood ungrammatical zx cabinet is that they do need to take they small seriously that they have to support those pro-democracy groups on the ground otherwise they'll lose the narrative entirely to the a if he is already the anti immigrant party there are greatly the strongest opposition party on the national level and they do stand to win tremendously in next year's state elections in states like sex you know thank you so much for your analysis t w political correspondent nina hauser. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today the european commission will put forward a proposal that would abolish the switch between summer and winter time across the european union decision comes after an online poll found that a majority of citizens wanted to get rid of the one hour change to winter time.

a national insurance scheme dubbed modi care after the indian prime minister or indians could receive up to six thousand euros worth of coverage are merely but would that mean that they can walk into private facilities that general india's rich. there's one problem says the managing director of walk hard and upmarket south mumbai hospital the procedures have to be provided at x. y. and that costs and daughter prices which are really kind of. putting everything in a very kind of constrain our current cost structure was greater than the prices that we're going to get creamed but for the procedure for private hospitals the problem will be written siling how much they usually charge with the government's mandated rates which have come out in the first instance from the government. allow them to make a profit been used to making us together so that is their apprehension but you see
