making use of everything to survive this improvised mass this one seven residents desperate approach to protect himself and his fellow syrians from a gas attack. sure these gas masks are important now especially after the latest threats of a chemical strike the russians claim that terrorists will do that but that's a lie everybody knows that the russians and the syrian regime used chemical weapons it would be more. like many others in and live he spilled a makeshift shelter as he expects a government offensive on the province to get worse. this is footage of what was said to be a syrian barrel bomb attack. president assad's forces backed by russia and iran recently began recapturing the province of its lip from rebels. since then

tens of thousands have been trying to escape the airstrikes but since the area's home to three million people many more could follow. took us eight organizations have joined other relief groups as they try to fulfil people's basic needs it's a tall order we believe. that we expect massive migration in the it's estimated that between seven hundred thousand and one million people will try to leave. i'm going to do. you do them said his organization could eventually dispatch at least one thousand trucks carrying food and medical supplies but considering the threat of a chemical attack that aid might fall terribly short. well the un's humanitarian chief says that cost could spell a catastrophe for civilians and he's warning against a large scale attack on islam or journalist a young a dear cameraman was at the u.n.

briefing he joins us tonight from geneva young this is only the latest u.n. official to address the potential consequences for civilians can you tell us more about what he said. well basically saying if syrian backed by the russians and the iranian. women and one not crazy it's taker thought that already then the would commit. the flight and the trend could. be the consequent. she also said that the u.n. is preparing or they hate. the contingency planning and they. ready to implement. it or pulling in all during out. and young we're talking about hundreds of

thousands of syrians who could soon be on the move you know they could become refugees over night what kind of preparations are aid agencies making should this offensive this attack occur. well that's exactly the big problem mark was talking about about eight hundred thousand people who could be. in the space of a couple of days old couple of weeks now with the u.n. agencies they must pass they must have they must. have meant much without medical help the the whole range of the whole many care in a needed and these in a situation of war so these it's reading the might become. local said very very big money can catastrophe probably the biggest we have

seen on the twentieth century and young you know we have seen humanitarian disasters before in aleppo and eastern new guta do you get the sense there that there is this there's this feeling that they just need to brace for the inevitable that this is going to happen. well yes. and you know at the same time as the old regime is sort of comparing the ground offensive we have u.n. troops the engine even between the u.n. special envoy on the one hand and syria. is to russia and iran and on the other hand and he's trying to dissuade. the russians and the iranians to stop the offensive but i think that's a huge tonic for sighed the feeling among so many. workers and the many caring she said that this. it's adult to come. ok

journalist young india temperament joining us tonight from geneva with the latest on that warning of an offensive in the province don thank you many thanks. well both of sweden's main political blocs failed to secure a majority in sunday's general election the country's far right it recorded major gains the ruling center left social democrats and their allies took forty point six percent of the vote just more than the center right alliance which managed forty point three percent the populist sweden democrats that's the party that has ties to the neo nazi movement it surged into third place taking seventeen point six percent the far right party hopes to become kingmaker in any ruling coalition though both centrist blocs have declared that they will not work they will not govern with the populace. this man jimmy orcus on has

given his party rooted in white supremacy a respectable face and sweet talks disgruntled voters away from sweden's political center. do you know what friends of sweden they said on t.v. that it's hard to declare a winner of this election i know he's won the sweden democrats. in a small country that's accepted nearly half a million asylum seekers since two thousand and twelve orcus ons message has resonated with those skeptical of immigration and the political establishment incumbent prime ministers define left and center left coalition only barely defeated the opposition center right alliance assigned liff and says it's time to toss out the bloc system that's defined swedish politics for decades if using is no site has a clear majority it's only natural that we will have to work across the political

fight to make it possible to govern sweden. regardless of the final election results this will be the death of bloc politics. but his invitation to the center right to engage in cross party talks has so far fallen on defeat is the head of the opposition is calling on to resign that leaves two sides in a virtual dead heat after the vote without a majority neither bloc says it will work with a strong third place finisher that has neo nazi roots forming a new government could take weeks or months of talks in a country where a populist wave is eroding a long held tradition of tolerance. in eastern germany there are new fears of anti migrant protests a man died after a confrontation with two afghan migrants in the town of cook tent that's about one hundred fifty kilometers southwest of berlin two and a half thousand protesters answered the call of far right groups together there for

a march a post-mortem later showed that the man died of acute heart failure and not of any injuries the afghan men have been taken into police custody. jetson is in mourning but there is no stony grief. this man furious he told our camera crew just. on saturday evening two groups apparently clashed in this small eastern town and two afghans were arrested and a german man died a friend of his is still coming to terms with what happened. or the woman that you all he was a good person was always very quiet but it's dreadful terrible he died so young. on the side throughout the storm with the.

demands death sparked calls on social media for a protest police say some twenty five hundred people took part in the march among them older residents and members of the far right alternative for germany party police say four to five hundred demonstrators have links to the extreme right. the mayor has called for calm. walked the people of curtain there's a big far right presence here to not join in with that some residents misunderstood my words and thought the mayor was telling them they could not speak out to join the protest. it will build on my stomach to the city people companies took part in the vigil and for them it's a good thing that a woman from the dust of his leadership hope would it's not clear exactly what transpired an argument broke out between the two afghans and the german national he later died of a heart attack he had a history of heart disease police say one of the afghans should have been deported

the other had a residence permit politicians are keen to avoid comparisons with the nearby city of kemet said the death last month of a gemini man led to far right protests as in catching the extreme light maybe my supporters over the internet. not really came out of course we're aware of how far right groups operate on a national level and how they are able to react so quickly we will adapt our plans accordingly. and. more demonstrations are planned in canton police approached in reinforcements from across germany. for d.w. correspondent robin from the marquis is in the town of curtin ninety joins us now live good evening to you fabio and we heard it just two weeks ago about these violent protests in the used german city of camden it's but now we're talking about a very small town called curtin i mean what sort of place is.

it's a small town twenty six thousand inhabitants quite beautiful little town here in the east of germany and when you would walk through the city in the morning you would think that a very nice place a relaxed place a peaceful place but then you're in the day we saw more and more right wing protests as we saw more and more police and in the evening that then we had hundreds of police men from all over the country and also some five hundred protesters that walked through the city to come here to this memorial site where the german young men mike was he died as so you have a tense atmosphere here tonight it was peaceful but when you talk to people some are extremely angry on the press on foreigners and then you also have those other people that for example went to the church today and prayed for unity in the city prayed for peace in this peaceful town. and fabiano it begs the

question now that we're seeing this happen more than once is this the new normal are demonstrations going to be held any time that people suspect migrants are involved in someone else's death. it seems a little bit as if this would be the new normal well we have to realize that the first demonstration here and couldn't it was faster than twenty four hours after the actual event took place so these news these days spread in an enormous speech why a social media and the far right has an extreme good momentum of mobilization they are very good in getting people from all over the country to places like that in order to exploit these cases for their political goals we have to be of course

also south critical as traditional media because if you report on these events that are individual cases you can contribute to a certain atmosphere but then again if there are thousands of new nazis on the streets with a hint of salute chasing people fairness of course we have to report and that's what we did in cannes that's and we had photos i hear in could as well all right solving for the market in the small town of kootenay in eastern germany tonight fabienne thank you will be back at the top of the hour with more world news have to see that. stands for. language course that. video audio. any time anywhere. w. media center.
