a place where refugees are welcome but of course that's only half the story there are a number of people here in the state of saxony who are concerned about the number of migrants who have come into the state the influx of migrants and they say that they don't like that the trail in the media over the last week they say that they don't want to be associated with a lot of the reports of people in protests on monday a woman the nazi salute for example or not of the violence they insist that they are normal citizens who have legitimate concerns and there are a lot of those people here in fact it's worth noting that last year in the national elections here in the se two sacks of the a.f.d. the far right party came out as the strongest party this is a city a state that is divided when it comes to attitudes toward immigration shall. joining us from kenneth thank you. the u.s. has announced it's stopping its decades long funding for the u.n. agency that helps palestinian refugees the state department said it would no longer

shoulder the burden of costs for the united nations relief and works agency whose operations are called the fraud now that agency says it provides services to about five million palestinian refugees in jordan and lebanon and syria the west bank and gaza the u.s. has been the agency's largest donor a spokesperson for the palestinian president called the move an assault against his people germany has pledged to increase its funding in response. we spoke to our correspondent in jerusalem and we asked her what the palestinian reaction had being to the u.s. announcement. well i mean there is a sense among palestinians that this could be a political move because it has opened up speculations about the real intentions of the u.s. administrations there has been a debate on going here whether they will also try to redefine use of refugees and

to reassess the right of return which is so fundamental to many pubs stimulants in acknowledging what happened to them in ninety four to eight when israel was created and so thousands of them had to flee and subsequently was then created the relationship between the palestinian leadership in ramallah us of ministration u.s. president tom has been very tense ever since the decision by the u.s. administration to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and all across the board there have been condemnations of this latest. decision is a cruel and irresponsible move targeting the most vulnerable segment of the palestinian society and also puts a lot of pressure obviously on the palestinians because just a week ago the u.s. administration also announced that it will withhold over two hundred million u.s. dollars in development aid to the palestinian. let's now look at some of the other

last public memorial service for late u.s. senator john mccain is due to begin shortly now the motorcade has left the capitol building and stopped at the vietnam veterans memorial before arriving at washington's national cathedral former presidents barack obama and george w. bush are set to deliver you know jews will be laid to rest on sunday at the u.s. naval academy in maryland president donald trump who had a bitter feud with mccain was not invited to attend the statesman died last week aged eighty one after battling brain cancer. well joining me now is tyson barkley is a program director at the aspen institute here in germany and he's also an expert in trans transatlantic relations thank you for joining us thank you so the memorial service is due to start about an hour from now and as we've heard you know former presidents barack obama george w. bush will be there but not. president trump what does this tell us well i mean the

. interesting that the two presidents that defeated him one in the primary one of the general election are both going to be there what it says about mccain's characters that he had a lot of respect for adversaries who didn't see as enemies that he didn't take it personally his relationship with donald trump was very different when trump announces election and twenty fifteen he started with saying that he liked his soldier says troops that weren't captured that that was a sign of of not courage but cowardice and that relationship really never took off from there there was a lot of personal animosity between the two and he wanted to shape this funeral in the way he wanted to have it shaped and so we look at the polar bears for example for the seventh and they definitely include former democrat senators like joe biden for example so mccain seem to be able as you describe him to bridge the gap across party lions is that becoming rarer and us politics today definitely i mean he was a real a kind of class that he made his reputation as a maverick as an independent that doesn't mean he wasn't conservative but he was a conservative but always an independent thinker and he could assess things using

his own independent thought sometimes that brought him up arrears with his party he was also convinced talk i think would call it in terms of foreign policy he had his critics because of that though didn't he say yes of course i mean you know this is a guy who supported the iraq war when it was very contentious in the united states and globally he supported the surge in two thousand and seven when that was also clinton just he also supported we shouldn't forget military intervention in iran but what he always wanted to believe in was the u.s. was primarily a force for good in the world and that those values were not just reflected abroad but also at home which is one of the reasons why he was such a strong. opposition to torture and very quickly tyson if you can what do you think his greatest legacy will be when i think torture is what i mean he spent six years in a p.o.w. camp in vietnam he did a lot to reconcile relations with the vietnamese he did a lot for campaign finance reform and finally being here in germany of course you know he was really the guardian of nato and the transatlantic alliance

a really important voice in congress for for our alliance with europe from the aspen institute here in germany thank you for your insight thank you. as i look at sports now and for german champions by in munich it's been business as usual as they sink a record seventh title in a row after a comfortable win over hoffenheim on the league's opening day by various travel to stuttgart who by the way need an unlikely win if they're to recover from a poor start to the season. things are not running smoothly. stuttgart have been undone by individual errors the latest from holger and the one nil loss to mind. i've. we haven't got the results that we want this week. last season. again losing only once and claiming thirty one points from his fourteen games in charge

after taking over in january expectations were high among fans this summer higher still after the arrival of some. team has to deliver against of all teams the champions. we'll have to see what biron have to offer with their new coach and we'll prepare and tough prepared accordingly took for our chance even in this game. by owner looking not just for the best possible start to the season they're also out for revenge after the pirs last meeting. when you lose four one in your pocket says last game just before you receive the championship trophy nobody likes not not even my players. for stuttgart a third straight loss would put coach colquitt under scrutiny. you're watching news live from berlin we do have more coming at the top of the hour but don't forget you can always get through the. fight.

thank you for watching. as long as the managers do not go to day nothing would change you know the banks you don't mind and so watch the language of the bank the money. speaking the truth global news that matters g.w. for my.
