a memorial service in washington former presidents george w. bush and iraq obama paid tribute to senator john mccain who died last week it made us better presidents they both said. hello and welcome one is christopher spring a good to have you with us here in germany the eastern city of kennett's was again the scene of demonstrations and counter-demonstrations today far right groups including germany's largest opposition party the anti migration a.f.d. gathered for what they called a silent more march of mourning for a german man who was stabbed to death in chemists last sunday counter-demonstrations also converged on the city to support an anti racist pro diversity stance tensions were high off the violence broke out at demonstrations earlier in the week. two suspects

a syrian and iraq you know arrested in connection with the killing on august twenty sixth. and standing by for us in camden it's very close to where that stabbing actually took place you know we shot that child some people charlotte six days since that fatal stabbing of a german national encampment still many people out on the streets how tense has the atmosphere been that today. good evening christopher with the protests have now according to police officially come to an end but there are still pockets of people on both sides who say that they're not ready to leave you're quite right where you're joining me at the moment i'm student finds at the location where the killing took place on saturday night that started spots these days of violence at the moment things are still con there have been some small coffee scuffles throughout the evening but police to have so far it seems managed to keep both the far right protesters and the counter demonstrators apart of course that is now that

tossed out of the evening continues to ensure that we don't see a repeat of the violence that took place on monday night and show that you've been speaking to some of those counter demonstrations counter-demonstrators rather what has the central message been. as i've been speaking to people from both sides here throughout the day we spoke to counter demonstrators who said that they wanted to go out onto the streets to convey to the world that some of the images that we're broke lost on monday evening images for example of some small men some members of the far right protests performing the hit the salute some of the violence that we've seen over the weekend they want to show you that that is not representative of chemists as a whole they told me that they think refugees are still welcome and let's have a listen to what they have to say those were his teachers it was important to me to be here to express my opinion just to show that community is not racist to the country as a whole doesn't want to be racist or fascist and to show a positive attitude towards migration it was these are simply people who are in

need of help and came here to seek it but they just find rejection and insults and of course that is the likeliest. concept and it's really important to make a stand against the right wing and for a tolerant diverse germany to send a message to foreign people here to say we support you we are a diverse and peaceful country and you're welcome here. because. i think the time is past here in germany when people could be chased through the streets without anybody speaking up against it this is really a time when people come just to tone and do nothing we have to stand up and take to the streets for democracy. now whether while there were those that we spoke to he was clear that they think migrants are welcome that we also spoke to people who are deeply concerned here in saxony about the influx of migrants to this region we've heard over and over again that medical must go the german chancellor must go this of course is the state where last year in the national elections. voted for the

f.d.a. to be the strongest party here in the state of saxony there is deep concern here about america's migration policy and just briefly charlotte some how strong is the police presence what's their strategy to ensure that everything remains peaceful yeah we've seen hundreds of riot police here on the streets night police on horses we've seen water cannon as well as far as we can tell none have been used say father merely as a terrorist but police want to ensure that they keep these two signs the protesters and the counter protest is a pause they are keen to avoid the scenes that that unfolded on monday night and the ensuing criticism that police here simply weren't prepared for the many thousands of people who took to the streets tonight we have police from around the country gathered here keeping the situation under control ok sean that many thanks for that phil reporting there from chemists. time now to look at some of the other

stories making news around the world the government in jordan says the u.s. decision to halt funding for a united nations agency for palestinian refugees will fuel radicalism and harm the prospects of peace in the middle east jordan hosts around half of the almost five million displaced palestinians in the region most are descendants of people who fled their homes after israel was founded in one thousand nine hundred forty eight . authorities in amsterdam say there was a terrorist motive behind the stabbing of two american tourists in the city on friday police shot and wounded the suspect at amsterdam's main train station immediately after the stabbing or they had identified him as a nineteen year old afghan national who holds german residency two americans are recovering in hospital. and there's been a massive explosion at the southern german oil refinery leaving at least ten people injured fire officers managed to get the ensuing blaze under control but smoke

forced the temporary evacuation of around two thousand local residents of georgy say they still don't know what cools the blast. turning to the u.s. now where two former presidents have been among many many people paying tribute to the late senator john mccain who died last week of brain cancer both barack obama and george w. bush spoke at a memorial service in washington's national cathedral praising the man they both defeated in the race to the white house politicians from across the spectrum attended the service with one notable exception president double trump was engaged in a bitter feud with john mccain didn't receive an invitation to the service. john mccain long serving senator an american war hero lies in state. becoming the great and the good from across the political divide paying their respects. by his own

account john was a rebellious young man. in his case that's understandable what faster way to distinguish yourself when you're the son and grandson of admirals than to munich. eventually though he concluded that the only way to really make. his mark on the world is to commit to something bigger than yourself. and for john that man answering the highest of calls. serving his country. in a time of war mccain's family emotional and his daughter meghan unafraid of politics the america john mccain is generous and welcoming and. she is resourceful and confident the secure. she meets her responsibilities she speaks quietly because she is strong america does not boast because she has no need to. be america john mccain has no need to be made great again because america was always great

a swipe at president donald trump's divisiveness. many feel that the death of john mccain comes at a time when american politics really needs more not fewer like him politicians who can reach across the widening political divide. ok let's get some analysis on this now from tyson bucca us if as an analyst with the aspen institute. tyson to to have you with us again that message that we just heard about at the end of our report reaching across the political divide very close of course to john mccain's hot right to the point that he even designed his own memorial service in such a way that it stressed his wish to bipartisanship just walk us through some of that symbolism yeah i mean well you know he's having three services this week the first was in arizona than he's got actually two in in washington and then he's going to have a private ceremony at the naval academy where he will be laid to rest with this family

and each one represents a different identity that he has one is arizona and the second which we just saw a statesman the third is soldier and family and so here what we see is you know in a deliberate attempt to say ok who are the people who made an effort to reach across the aisle and that's first and foremost represented by these two presidents one republican one a democrat both of whom he was rivals with but he had the grace obviously to welcome him back work with them as as politicians and he wanted them to speak to his character and of course they had this common message he made us better presidents right right and that's it's a clear contrast contrast with with president trump what he was trying to say is you know we want leaders who bring up the best in people and that message is openness that message is you know bringing people across the aisle tolerance you know making keeping america great as megan mccain said you know it doesn't need to be great in the divison this actually hurts the country joking about meghan mccain

of incredibly emotional very forceful address by john mccain's daughter meghan how strong do you think is the voice of the mccain family going to be moving forward well as you know as she mentioned as president obama mentioned. but service is something that's very important to the family it's a very high calling for john mccain and his father and grandfather that was of course military service he's got several sons in the military who have served for meghan mccain that might take a different role she's currently on a t.v. show called the view she's on every day but she's clearly shown political aspirations so that public called a public service is going to take different forms but i think she will be the standard bearer for that public face and what about her mother cindy mccain is she going to be going to take over that senatorial seat do you think well it's really difficult to say i mean there have been calls to do so but. the thing about mccain was he was so unpredictable as president obama said in the cast that deciding vote

in the health care the obamacare repeal attempts last year one of president exactly the moment one of president trumps number one priorities and twenty seventeen so what the republican governor and president trump are going to be looking for is a solid republican vote and i don't think should provide that don't be looking for loyalists but him in the context of you know some work we're doing on ukraine and russia he's somebody was extremely engaged in the region in ukraine cared a lot about the country was very suspicious of lattimer putin that's something that he you know always made clear i hocked towards putin a very strong voice for nato in the senate and you know the the loyalty he inspired over decades from generations multiple generations of foreign policy professionals in washington is very unique. many thanks for that touching bucca from the aspen institute then thank you. let's turn now to german football but munich and vul spoke have continued their

strong thoughts of the season on the bundesliga second weekend of play champions by and away at stuttgart they won that match comfortably three nil while the wolves one three one. meanwhile hoffenheim freiburg and braman struck late on to win two one all the other games so far and being in draws including don't win stalemate and of on friday too much is still to play coming up on sunday. germany's women are on the brink of qualifying for the twenty nine hundred well cup in france they beat iceland to nil a crucial win after they surprisingly lost at home to the same side last year here are the highlights of that trip for you. germany's interim coach false rupesh knew only a win in iceland would put world cup qualification back in their own hands just before the break melanie leupold strike a look from distance and netted the rebound one nil for germany.

in the second half the visitors failed to profit from chaos in the iceland defense . germany hoped they wouldn't be left to rue the mess. and soon iceland almost equalized fundies free to start here narrowly missing the target. a nervous period of play for the germans. but the twice world champions managed to seal the victory in seventy four minutes to be no potsdam struck a hoot after a second of the game iceland's defending again letting them down. germany leapfrog iceland to the top of the group a win over the faroe islands on tuesday will secure qualification. a quick reminder for you of our top story at the moment rival demonstrations have been taking place in the eastern german city of camden it's a city has been at the center of national attention of the days of unrest following the fatal stabbing of
