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 tone and do nothing we have to stand up and take to the streets for democracy. the stabbing 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 mark dubourg like course where the 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 the state of sex city to just 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. and our correspondent shallow tells them feel is in kenya following that story for us a shot of just good to see you but a tense day yesterday can you tell us what you saw and what people there are telling you. yes the threat of violence was in the air

throughout the day yesterday the fear that we would see a repeat of some of the scenes last weekend on monday evening was palpable things did launch the remain peaceful police said that there was some minor scuffles a number of injuries some people would to taint launch they said they were able to keep the rival protest is a pause that's not to say that there wasn't a lot of anger from people on the streets here on the side of the far right protest is they were extremely angry. government's immigration policies they were chanting things like. must go there was also a huge mistrust is the media among the number the far right protest is that we spoke to said that they felt that their legitimate concerns about immigration were being misrepresented in the press on the other side meanwhile there was a lot of anger among the council process is about some of the scenes that have unfolded over the last week or so people in particular who are drawing attention to

the nazi salute that was seen performed by a small group at the far right protest is cheering the rally on monday the council process is yesterday telling us that simply cannot happen on the streets they said that they wanted to go to the streets take to the streets to show a different face of kenneth different side to to the one that's been around the world a side that's very clear that refugees migrants are welcome here in germany and of course the for use in saxony drafted in reinforcement from other german federal states of to criticism about how they handled the incident last week how exactly did that work yesterday. so there were hundreds of police on the streets yesterday and not just yesterday if i just draw attention to just behind me there's still an enormous police presence on the streets today that's because there's a small gathering of protesters again who are protesting against some of the far right activism that we've seen on the streets over the last week in kennett

yesterday they had not just police in riot gear you also had police on horses you had water cannon going through the streets as a terrence for any escalation of violence they would use but there really was a huge difference here on the streets and scenes of the number of police here and what we've seen in the week and police were able to keep the two sides largely apart shallow biz different views here in germany about migration policy and obviously many people are concerned about growing far right sentiment i want us to listen to what germany's foreign minister had to say and then we'll come back to you. but in kenya it is more than worrying a man was brutally killed on a public streets followed by mobs chasing people through the city. people giving did not see salute i'm not just isolated individuals. my colleagues applaud have

been asking me what's going on in germany that's why i'm glad to see that so many democrats are taking a stand in canada's making clear that a large majority of germans want to live in an open tolerant country. so shallow concern from the foreign minister but how deep are the divisions in german society over this issue. well it has to be made clear that scenes like the ones we've seen playing out in kemet north's playing out across germany ken it's really has become an epicenter of some of the dissatisfaction in germany this divided opinion over germany's immigration policies over the last few years people from across the region walk in on both sides to the protests over the last few days but saxony in particular the state where kevin is located is pretty divided we saw that last year in the national elections saxony voted for the f.t.

the far right party to be the strongest party in those national elections it's expected that they have to do very well in regional elections next year so that just goes to show exactly how divided this city this state is in particular. some people reporting from candidates thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world protesters have rallied in several russia against government plans to raise the country's special pension age this despite recent pledges by president vladimir putin to soften the unpopular measures the government's new proposal would delay pension image ability by five years for both women and men. u.s. defense secretary james mattis has canceled three hundred million dollars in aid to pakistan citing a lack of decisive action against militants the u.s. believes pakistan has allowed terror groups especially near the afghanistan border to operate freely the u.s. secretary of state is due next week. and israeli prime minister

commissioner of the miami dade county in florida. important things to start getting a political representation. and i'm proud to be representing this growing community . last year nearly twenty eight thousand venezuelans applied for asylum in the u.s. and eighty eight percent increase from twenty sixteen venezuelan. are fleeing from societal collapse caused by governmental mismanagement and corruption in the arrow gives them hope that his run for office could help bring respect to the local venezuelan community i don't know if i want back all venezuelans here our hearts are back there but we are trying to fight from here in this country. and that by and i think that we need it to be free because it's a beautiful country the most beautiful in the world. doral florida or durrell's weyler has become a hub of the venezuelan exile community about a quarter of durrell's residents emigrated from the crisis ridden country. some are

collaboration isn't a given the venezuelan community is fragmented in terms of their socio economic status and political beliefs. it is about that when you look at it a little has problems in venezuela exist in the us as well. there's a lack of unity in the community we need to organize ourselves better and work together or we're going to satisfy the horde pinero couldn't gain enough votes for this year's election the exile communities goals may be lofty but according to the people of doral they have just gotten started. the reigning wimbledon champion germany's angela has been knocked out of the u.s. open in the third round she was beaten in three sets by the twenty ninth seed dominica. broke open and three times in the first set did the same to her in the second german star was then broken again twice in the final set that means none of this year's grand slam champions are left in the women's competition with five of
