a german man he was stabbed to death in the eastern german city last sunday by the fellow. 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 instance 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 to town and do nothing or 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 i've seen the pictures and i remember what happened in the beginning of the ninety's where we had right when the prices in some places like market boric like course but rostock that's why it's important to see it sent 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 the state of sex city to simply do their job tensions were high after the violence of recent days but despite a few minor scuffles the demonstration and counter demonstration both went off peacefully.

in kennett force here's a summary of the day's events. the threats of violence was hanging in the air throughout the day today but rather than ending in major clashes the protests ended here at a vigil for the man who lost his life here we go today sparking these days of confrontation now police whilst in fools on the streets today keen to avoid a repeat of the bidens on monday night and trying to keep the two sides a pause now while that wasn't major violence there was a lot of anger from the people that we spoke to anger from the far right groups and of the map of migration policy and the press they say misrepresenting what they call digits in the sun there was also a lot of anger from the council process did many people say that they were out street trying to show a different face to the one that's going on around the world they say that they want to make a difference on still while this is a city that is divided with the responsibility no for things the police to keep the

two sides apart. ok time now to catch up with some of the other stories making news around the world three people have been injured in tripoli off the hotel was hit by gunfire between rival militias vying for power the libyan capital has seen sporadic clashes in recent days and then slid into chaos after the twenty eleven uprising that overthrew longtime leader moammar gadhafi. well throw cheese in amsterdam say there was a terrorist move to behind the stabbing of two american tourists in the city on friday in the sauce and wounded the suspect or i'm steve inskeep main train station immediately after the stabbing and they identified the man as a nineteen year old afghan holds german residency the two americans are recovering in hospital. the government in jordan says the u.s. decision to hold funding to the united nations agency for palestinian refugees who fuel radicalism and harm the prospects of peace in the middle east jordan hosts

around half of the all. most five million displaced palestinians in the region most of them the descendants of people who fled their homes when israel was established in one thousand nine hundred eighteen. to the u.s. now when 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 speaking 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. 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 matter answering. the highest of calls. serving his country. in a time of war mccain's family emotional and his daughter meghan unafraid of politics in america john mccain is generous and welcoming and old she is resourceful confident 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 u.s. affairs analyst with the aspen institute in ties into 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 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 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 man 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 meghan mccain said you know it doesn't need to be great in the divison this actually hurts the country talking about meghan mccain

a 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 all the 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 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 the 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 somebody was extremely gauged in the region and ukraine cared a lot about the country was very suspicious of lattimer putin but something that he you know always made clear aha 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
