sixty. this week. this is the w. news live from burlington could some reports of violence in the german city of cabinets last week be fake news this video of an alleged attack on a farm it was widely circulated but now germany's domestic intelligence chief says he has no reliable evidence that such chases actually took place. his remarks appear to contradict those of germany's chancellor. thomson machall meanwhile has

been meeting the french president emmanuel mccraw in masai with the stated objective of bringing europe for what the head of a full interview summit later this month. also on the program those things fall off a serious last rebel stronghold iran and russia rejected turkish proposal into diverting a humanitarian catastrophe in its live province but they have agreed to keep talking. i'm phil gayle welcome to the program the east and german city of cabinets is tense again tonight as about fifteen hundred demonstrators much against the government's migration policy is chanting with other people and this is the carrot calling for a complete halt. the arrival of asylum seekers hundreds of police officers have

been deployed and there are no reports of violence it's a seen a series of protests on both sides of the migration issue since a man was stabbed to death late last month allegedly by an asylum seeker. the aftermath of that fatal knife attack was sparked disagreement between chancellor merkel and her domestic intelligence chief after the incident the chinese spokesman highlighted reports that far right mobs had hunted down foreigners in the city but germany's domestic intelligence chief is now raising doubts about those accounts saying that his agency has no reliable evidence that such xenophobic activity actually took place. real news or fake news could these mobile phone shots be staged hance georg mass and chief of germany's domestic intelligence agency suggests they might be fake speaking to a major german newspaper he had said he had no information about hunt's.

the recordings of august twenty sixth seem to show a mob of right wingers storming through the streets of cabinets pursuing foreigners the events followed the murder of a german citizen where the suspects are two asylum seekers now in custody. germany's interior minister is standing by mass and i. have no further information from the federal office for the protection of the constitution besides what they have published today but it is a similar level of information to that of the other security agencies which answer to me. just a few days ago german chancellor angela merkel was in no doubt that the video recordings were authentic and not staged. you have seen pictures which clearly show hatred in the persecution of innocent people which we have to distance ourselves from that's what my spokesman mr seibert did that's what i am doing that is all there is to say even. coalition partners in the s.p.d.

support you and doubt that mass in this position is correct. because. the eyewitness accounts i know about many many reports from journalists and i think a prudent security agency had would be well advised to provide facts to such a controversial thesis so as not to be responsible for further inflaming matters. the chancellor spokesman today did not on a quickly support mass and a spokeswoman for the ministry of the interior simply said investigations into the disputed videos are ongoing. political correspondent maximillian the costs of course each was asked about any proof that. might have provided to back his assertion. this is the critical issue we don't know he hasn't given any significant proof about this story this is highly unusual the procedure this has come forward with so what has happened is

he's not given alex an official statement this has not been an official reports towards the government but instead they just have been an interview that the head of the domestic secret service has giving the germany's biggest tabloid newspaper the built and in that interview you have given any sort of proof or any kind of explanation for why he things this video could be fake but just that he considers this fake and that he things that this my at and fact be an act of diversion misinformation and what is so unusual about this that he's doing right now what he actually things is happening anyway he is not clearing up the situation but he's just adding all to the fire in a question of like what can we believe what do we know. the u.n. special envoy for syria has proposed a plan for extremist rebel fighters to withdraw from syria's edley province to avert what he called a bloodbath it live as the country's last stronghold of the government resistance

president assad is the i thought to be preparing to launch a major offensive stuff and de mistura presented the proposal at a meeting of the un security council. meanwhile is a separate meeting to decide it libs fate iran russia turkey have been unable to overcome their differences iranian leader hassan rouhani hosted russian president vladimir putin and turkish president ventured type one in tehran turkey push for a cease fire which was rejected by russia and iran raising fears of an imminent offensive the three countries did however agree to keep talking aid agencies say an offensive against it leave could be the greatest humanitarian catastrophe in syria's a seventy year war if that catastrophe materialize president heard one said his country would not be able to help. turkey right now is hosting three point five million syrian refugees lib's population is three point five million people now

turkey does not have the resources or power to host a further three point five million people. let's get more from t.w. turkey correspondent julie han in istanbul welcome you here what's at stake here for turkey. well eclipse for turkey is a major security concern not only because the battle over could lead to a final decision in the syrian civil war in favor of president assad and that's certainly something turkey doesn't want but also because it is turkey that would have to deal with the consequences of such a large scale military offensive president again warned today of a blog bath a massacre as you already mentioned he is concerned of another refugee influx a large scale influx of people into his country considering that turkey is already hosting so many refugees from syria but he is also concerned about jihadist

fighters fighters that are believed to be inside thousands of them and they could potentially hide among civilians and try to cross into turkey so now that russia and iran have vetoed any cease fire just to have a plan b. to have this potential humanitarian catastrophe. well that's not entirely clear present out on seem to have not been successful with his proposal of a ceasefire today there might be a chance now for this u.n. plan for jihadist fighters to destroy from city center from civilian populated areas so maybe mr add on managed to buy some time but what we saw today is at this meeting is that these three leaders mr putin mr outline and mr rouhani still defiant very very much on this matter especially mr putin favors

a harsh a strong military action again against all kinds of rebel groups inside it live including the groups that turkey is currently supporting against the assad regime so the joint declaration today had no real news the three leaders agreed to continue cooperating to try to resolve this crisis somehow but there was little more on this documents so we don't really know what will happen in the next hours in the next days what will happen next in egypt so if the worst does happen. with refugees what would that mean for. refugee. well aid or aid organizations here in turkey are reportedly already prepared preparing for this worst case both sides of the border the tech side and the syrian side so they're preparing for it missed out on emphasize again that they already

reached their limits and what they can do but i believe that in this case this whole turkey deal would need to be renegotiated missed out on would ask for much more financial and human syrian assistance from europe and that's something europe seems to also take into consideration seems to be aware of the german foreign minister a visit to turkey this week and he said in the case off such an military offensive on the eve live germany would consider to step up its humanitarian assistance to countries like turkey you hon in istanbul thank you. germany's chancellor is in the french city of maasai for talks with france's president i'm glad machall dimaggio macross are discussing european issues such as migration the euro zone reform and bret's it has both faced domestic political pressure on a number of fronts a micro is relying on macro support for his ambitious proposals to reform the
