10:21 pm
small eastern town two afghans were arrested and a german man dies a friend of his is still coming to terms with what happened. or the woman or the old he was a good person who 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 man has called for calm. told the people of curtain there's a big far right presence here to not join in with that some residents misunderstood
10:22 pm
