by plato ven often seen as the quintessentially german composer overture to his opera fidelio by turns quiet and thoughtful then loud and passionate. almost like a wake up call for germany twenty eight years since reunification. now president of the parliament was contrived or was one of the politicians who negotiated the treaty that opened the door to german reunification that will be his political legacy but he reminded germans that unification is always an ongoing process. we dim the lights in the unity of our state was achieved on that october the one nine hundred ninety you know imagery over what it is that unites us is something we must constantly strive to rio church. sheidlower went on to describe reunification as the second chance for germany and that is why he said germany must

be vigilant in the face of any attempt to avoid facing up to the responsibilities of history regards. the people used in germany as elsewhere we see populists with the arrogance to call on the people to rise up against their political opponents against imagined or actual minorities against those elected by the people but no one no one has the right to claim that he or she is the sole representative of the people's will align for deeds it does or it. should last words will have resonated with many germans at this time despite the party atmosphere at the brandenburg gate germany is facing some difficult and controversial issues. as many as the what's happening right now worries me but generally i hope that the majority of people are still intelligent enough to oppose these developments. and exit. i'm very worried about right wing tendencies and xenophobia which are still on the rise in our country and. not far from the celebrations at the brandenburg gate more

than a thousand right wing extremists gathered outside berlin central railway station to protest against chancellor angela merkel against what they called the biased press and against fake news. although they couldn't hear him outside the station showed last words were addressed to such people as well as the rest of the nation. pushy tonight so are accepting differences recognizing the diversity of legitimate opinions and interests and realizing that your own ideas are not the measure of all things that is the way of thinking which will lead to more unity in our society like to. give mind some courage to self. chancellor merkel echoed the idea that german unification is still ongoing. now twenty eight years on we know that what we call german unity is a process a long journey which over and over a. and means we must listen to each other's points of view with together and not

give up jim and unity is not finished twenty eight years on it is still a continuous challenge. to hold and so this year's day of german unity ended as it began peaceful pensive with contradictions and conciliation. well they don't need to our correspondent charlotte shelton powell has been following the celebrations in central london welcome shot the party's over i know i was it. yes phil you just missed it short time ago there were hundreds of thousands of people here on the streets behind me there was an enormous festival spirit there was a concert taking place it attracted a number of huge german pups does nina for example you might know her still for the song ninety nine red believes it was a huge jevon pulp exports there were also a number of more local bands that was a process techno band here from by then which really got the crowd warmed up on

this cold evening now that what the organizers said was they wanted these bands these musicians to exemplify diversity here in germany and they wanted bands who would take part in or had social cohesion the idea of being of course that this is genuity day that was what was on show here on the streets this evening and we heard in our report that germany's leaders were talking about a reunification as being an ongoing process how people be reacting to those statements. well as we heard in that report there are a number of german politicians have addressed the fact that while germany may have been reunified east and west twenty eight years ago today there are a lot of lingering divisions here in germany not just between east and west but also concerns of an increasingly polarized society the politicians pointed to the rise of the far right for example the the far right f d party that was a concern a feeling shared by a lot of people here on the streets behind me

a number of the singers in fact alluded to the rise of the far right in some speeches in some ways that they gave jure in their performances there is a boost in the crowd in the f.t. was mentioned for example there is real concern here that germany is polarized at the moment and there are some fears about what the future my like. downtimes thank you. authorities in indonesia the number of dead from last week's earthquake and tsunami is now more than fourteen hundred survivors the facing a fifth day with little food and water some aid is now reaching the region but the government admits the relief effort is slow and blames widespread damage to infrastructure and a lack of fuel in w.'s bastin hearted reports from pollard where the tsunami hit. all morning nordin has been running from one government distribution center to another but he keeps being turned away the aid is being taken to other places

there's food and water in this truck do you know where they're going. i don't know what we do know is all the aid from this place is going to the main relief center. he shows us a whole list of things he desperately needs for himself and his family twenty four people had signed in stamp but he still ends up with nothing. in it and i registered and started hearing yesterday but i was told to come back today. when i was here early in the morning they told me i'd come to the wrong place. they should i should have gone to a different distribution center. to get a. distribution centers like this one all around the city people are lining up to get supplies but because cord a nation of aid distribution is still an issue many end up empty handed. like noureddine he takes me home to meet his family they've all been living under a tarp since the earthquake especially the children are traumatized.

but they don't think that even when there's no earthquake off to shock i always feel like the ground is moving in that i'm really afraid then i realize there's no earthquake but because i'm so afraid i'm imagining it always feel like it's moving i'm scared to go inside a house by myself at. only go with my parents if they're not with me i won't go in it's now i see. they're telling me they're running low on food and drinking water it's the smallest to suffer the most many of the children are sick and hungry the youngest tiara is only one month old. my baby isn't in very good health at the moment she has a rash because of the heat we need milk diapers medicine and other things for her.

new family are not alone in their fear and despair. thousands are camping out and supplies are scarce at every turn. nowhere is this more obvious than at the city's gas stations. the distribution of the valuable commodity is heavily guarded. prices at this regulated pump are as always but on the black market gas sells for up to five times as much fuel is a lifeline. some people here have been waiting for seven hours just to get five liters of needed not only to power their motor bikes and cars but also generators that create electricity so they can charge for example their mobile phones. updates on the situation from the authorities the lines here are endless at the moment we're at number seven hundred eighty nine and there are many more canisters the one writing the numbers on them but at the moment he can't because he has run out. yet

another hick up if ever so slight in their attempt to organize the chaos. but with more help promised the people here hope they can soon start to rebuild their ravaged lives. now u.s. president facing criticism from fellow republicans for one of the women who say they were sexually assaulted by a supreme court nominee but carbonneau. results of an f.b.i. investigation into judge cavanagh over the allegations president trump made the comments at a campaign rally in mississippi. i i i the crowds and the trump rally seemed to have made up their minds about the president's supreme court nominee trump on his part use the occasion to mock the apparent holes in the testimony of christine blassie forward she appeared before
