biala gassed. managed by from. mean. you know. this is news live from berlin another day of street protests encampments anti immigrant demonstrators gathering in that eastern german city while counter protests hold the rival demonstrations after days of unrest sparked by a fatal stabbing images allegedly committed by migrants. also on the program at a memorial service in washington former presidents george w.

bush and barack obama paid tribute to senator john mccain who died last week he made us a better president instead of say. hello and welcome my name's christopher spring a good to have you with us here in germany the eastern city of kemet has once again been the scene of demonstrations and counter-demonstrations sparked by the killing of a local man to asylum seekers the syrian and in iraq in custody news that one of the two could have been deported two years ago fueled from days anti migration protest it was met with counter-demonstrators supporting an anti racist pro diversity starts tensions were high off the violence broke out at protests this week. far right groups including germany's largest opposition party the anti immigration

a.f.d.c. paraded through came nits in what they called a silent mourning march for a german man who was stabbed to death in the eastern german city last sunday by the fellow. of war i'm here because we are no longer prepared to accept incidents like these in germany where murders are committed by people who should already have been deported earlier he named. thousands of counter-demonstrators also converged on the city both locals and from further afield they wanted to send a message that the right did not represent everyone in kemet. just in this sense 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 just as.

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 can't just sit a town and do nothing we have to stand up and take to the streets for democracy. the stopping of the german man sparked anti immigration demonstrations and violence and images went around the world for some a reminder of anti foreign incidents soon after german reunification. i mean if i after seeing the pictures and i remember what happened in the beginning of the ninety's where we had to write when the prices in some places like market boric like course but rostock that's why it's important to see it send a clear stop signal right from the beginning but fortunately that did not take place and now it's high time to call to the wards to government of their state of sex any to just simply do their job tensions were high after the violence of recent days but despite a few minor scuffles the des moines. ration and counter-demonstration both went off

peacefully. ok time to catch up with some of the other stories making news around the world the government in jordan says the u.s. decision to halt funding to the united nations agency for palestinian refugees will fuel radicalism and harm the prospects of peace in the middle east jordan hosts around hof of the almost five million displaced palestinians in the region most of them are descendants of people who fled their homes after israel was founded in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight. to 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 and they identified the man as a nineteen year old afghan who holds german residency and two americans are recovering in hospital. turning now to the us 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 donald trump who was engaged in a bitter feud with mccain didn't receive an invitation to the service. john mccain long serving senator an american war hero lies in state. the great and the good from across the political divide paying their respects. by his own account dr 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 went 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 job that meant 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 bold she is resourceful and confident secure. she meets her responsibilities she speaks quietly because she is strong america does not boast because she has no need to. the 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 few would like him politicians who can reach across the widening political divide. ok let's get some analysis on this

now from tyson bucca u.s. affairs an analyst with the aspen institute in lynn tyson good to have you with us again that's a 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 right to the point that he even designed his own memorial service in such a way that it stressed his wish for bipartisanship just walk us through some of the symbolism yeah i mean well you know he's having three services this week the first was in arizona that 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 his 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 out 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 meghan mccain said you know it doesn't need to be great in the divison miss actually hurts the country joking about meghan mccain 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 that 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 megan 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 call to public service is going to take different forms but i think she will be the standard bearer for that public face 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 thumbs down moment one of president trumps number one priorities and twenty seventeen so what they were public and governor and president trump are going to be looking for is a solid republican vote and i don't think should provide that be looking for

loyalists you know you saying mccain was unpredictable you met him yourself what was your personal experience with john mckay he was irascible inner jadick he you know i met 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 a hawk towards putin a very strong voice for nato in the senate and you know that the loyalty he inspired over decades from generations multiple generations of foreign policy professionals in washington is very unique. times many thanks for that touching bucca from the aspen institute then thank you. if you go on to other news ugandan pop singer turned opposition politician bobby weiner has arrived in the u.s. for medical treatment after being denied permission to leave uganda this week in
