forces in france and germany. material industrial complex starts october twentieth on d w. this is the news coming to you live from berlin a leading jewish figures in germany sound the alarm after the far right party moves to set up a jewish group of its own the party whose leader hit the headlines for downplaying the nazi era aims to set up a jewish working group this weekend we'll find out why some want to join it also coming up protests and. plus space junk and what to do about

a problem that's been growing astronomically we'll look at some ideas being discussed at the international astronautical congress this week. and star footballer castello rinaldo is left out of portugal squad the team captain will not . alone terry martin thanks for joining us leading figures from germany's jewish community have reacted with astonishment and concern after the far right alternative for germany party the a.f.p. said it was setting up an internal jewish group the party has faced criticism from jewish groups after failing to sanction members for downplaying the holocaust and flirting with neo nazi groups seventeen jewish organizations have issued a statement saying that no citizen of germany who cared about democracy could identify with the a.f.p.

we'll get analysis from our political correspondent in just a moment but first this report. that he knew in a town is jewish and he supports the h.d. . when he was nineteen he left ukraine and the discrimination he felt there is a jew and came to germany now he fears anti-semitism here. there are lots of problems in germany which weren't there before and they're only being addressed by the way i think on what you were talking about the clear out the semitism you can see in the qur'an that morning. because there are so many migrants from the region that has this religion it's clear that we're going to see more and more anti semitism in germany. on thirty. five was some observers it might seem paradoxical for jewish people to join the h.d. but they have and on sunday they're setting up

a formal group and the party. spokesman is dimitri shorts he's a jew from the former soviet union and he sees if he is the only party fighting muslim anti-semitism i doubt it's the future torch of the one fortunately many germans have no sense of homeland and this homeland is in danger. that one spot pulling institute says anti-semitism is much more prevalent in the h.d. than in other parties and the f.t. leadership has faced repeated criticism for playing down the crimes of the nazis when the state there are the nazis and no more than a speck of bird poop in more than a thousand years of successful german history. sergei like routines he is a leading member of prisons jewish community and as far as he's concerned jews joining the a fifty is a bad joke but he says the party is resonating with some jewish groups and we shouldn't forget that about ninety percent of jewish people in germany are also of

eastern european origin or mostly come from the soviet union and bring the whole baggage off stereotypes and a kind of a. liberal understanding of democracy and also there are people who are german speakers speaking who. are right wing and who are trying to use this and that instrument allows this feeling and this is what we're seeing. the jews in the age group would get short shrift at the muzzle restaurant in berlin the jewish own across the pinsky sees the group as no more than a tactic to divert attention from if de. sometimes. just as nations find me just irreconcilable jews cannot be involved in a party which is clearly associated with anti semitic motivations and anti semitic people it doesn't make sense to trust people like that and mentions and.

pinsky be least if he is clearly anti-semitic and a group of jews in the party won't change that. well for more on this was bring in our political correspondent hons blonde from our parliamentary studios hons can you explain to us why the far right di is creating a jewish group well the f.d.a. has said for some time that it is the only party in driven that is a real defender of jewish life in germany and all of the jews in germany and it's reasoning is that it's basically an anti muslim and anti. reasoning the party is a very lengthy anti immigrant polity and has said that the number of migrants coming into germany from the middle east and from other islamic countries are threatening german society and one aspect of this according to the f.t. is an increased anti-semitism an increased threat to jewish people so the f.t.

has always presented itself as a preserver as it were of. jewish life in germany. as we've already mentioned jewish organizations in germany have condemned this move by the a d. tell us more about what germany's jewish organizations are saying about this. yes this is a joint declaration issued by all the major jewish organizations in germany and they say that the f.t. in fact is a party which has. parts of it which are a variant the anti semitic in fact and have gone as far as saying dr ball to the extent of the holocaust during the second world war and germany's responsibility for that crime they are also members of the a.f.p. that are very close to ultra right wing nazi parties in germany so they are saying these jewish organizations that the f.t. in fact is a party that promotes hate and hate crimes in germany and is not

a party that in fact should be supported by any jew or any democratically thinking person in germany now you already mentioned that this move seems to be one that is targeting muslims in germany have we had any response from germany's muslim community so far no i haven't heard anything from muslim community on this issue at the moment but it is clear that certainly it is the case that because of the immigration into germany from the east there is a new form of anti-semitism an anti israeli sentiment especially an anti israel sentiment coming into germany at the same time one has to say that that is not a particularly strong feature of german society and muslim organizations in general have been saying that they do not support those form of anti semitism in germany so

in a sense all cold sides are saying that what we need to do is to talk to each other rather than to continue confrontation just briefly what do we know about this event that the a.f.p. is planning for sunday where it's actually going to establish its jewish group. well it's going to be a fairly small occasion in the city near frankfurt a couple of members of the if the leadership will be there one doesn't quite know how many jews in fact are going to be involved one also has to see it in the context of the region where it is taking place at all state of history there will be elections there later this month and the people organizing this event i in fact also involved in those elections so it is also a campaign. that has to do with the regional elections and thank you so much for now d.w. political correspondent hundred. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today russian intelligence agents are being accused of launching

a series of global cyber attacks the u.s. has indicted seven russians for attempting to hack fifa nuclear energy companies and other targets earlier dutch officials said they had foiled an attack on the united nations chemical weapons washed off russia says the allegations are escalating global tensions. and brazil's presidential candidates have held their final debate ahead of this weekend's election but too far from the far right front runner also not was not part of the debate he was released from hospital days ago after surviving a stabbing at a campaign rally last month polls show him with a clearly in sunday's vote. and stranded humpback whale has been returned to see all fortunate enough after a twenty eight hour rescue operation around thirty people helped save the animal after it had become beached rescuers celebrated in the sea following the will for

a short time. thi u.s. senate is a step closer to confirming president trump's nominee for the supreme court brett kavanaugh this after the f.b.i. submitted its report on allegations of sexual misconduct against judge kaplan all republicans say it contains nothing to substantiate the claims but democrats and protesters say the probe was incomplete comedian amy schumer was among three hundred people arrested at a rally inside a senate office building they were detained after refusing to leave the site. senators could hold a first but on judge capitals nomination later on friday and the f.b.i. report has done little to ease tensions over the culture of personal kind it has how i was i was outside the supreme court in washington d.c. protesters called on senators to vote against brett's cavanagh's consummation the

rally coincided with the completion of an f.b.i. investigation into the allegations against the judge democrat and republican senators had very different takes on the findings democrats dianne feinstein said the most notable parts of the report was what was not in it the f.b.i. did not interview brett kavanaugh nor did the f.b.i. interviewed dr blasi for what we've heard from numerous people over the last few days seeking to provide information to the f.b.i. we have seen even more press reports of witnesses who wanted to speak with the f.b.i. but were not interviewed the absence of witness testimony had a different reason according to a republican in senate majority leader mitch mcconnell senator sherman grassley cited this morning knew that the jewish are committing nor the f.b.i. could locate any third party if you're going to trust to any

of these allegations no back up for any witnesses. and clearly knows pacifically name as eyewitnesses by the people who brought the allegations on first lawyers by going to pull taping is the way to something these protesters have suits to avoid a vote on cavanagh's confirmation in the food senate where republicans hold the seat majority that could now take place as early as saturday. week after a devastating earthquake and tsunami hit indonesia's sulawesi island the death toll has now passed fifteen hundred and tens of thousands of survivors need urgent help and indonesian navy ship has landed supplies at the port in the stricken town of palu with more international aid supplies expected later today meanwhile a frantic search for survivors continues with hopes of finding any more people alive in the rubble paid. for more let's bring in correspondent max walden in

jakarta max it's been a week now since the earthquake and tsunami what's the situation for people in the disaster zone now. well it does seem that. trickling in and some delays lack of access. the electricity thing turned on but some people in fallujah and certainly markets i think back on it does seem to be a return to an extent of some sense of normalcy however of course search and rescue efforts are ongoing today's the deadline set by the government off two weeks expected. in the rubble could not be alive and also off to the update of the death toll that you just mentioned was also applied to potentially off to a thousand feet trapped underneath the sands where the ground liquified to these

are quite certain parts so certainly there have been buried and not identified because of the threat of disease so it's an ongoing however it does seem that the survivors did a lot he's been proving the max we've heard a report from the group save the children saying that six hundred thousand children have been affected by the disaster and many of them have been separated from their parents what are aid agencies doing to help them. yes so i've spoken to representatives of units and there is a lot of concern due to the fact that around the children it's a waste you don't have kids of course means that. hundred people that have died many of these people of course the parents and their children who are on the company attention that a company now. because it's extremely difficult to link a child to

a family so certainly groups like say the children need to father against. the potential targets. due to the fact that these kind of circumstance anyone can take a child. we've already been ordered to try and. children where the parents then unable to identify the parents family members of their extended family because this is such a challenge when there's a range of urgent needs. we've been hearing reports of people complaining that the aid effort has been way too it's just been simply insufficient briefly if you are authorities saying no. well again i think access has been they think a challenge so getting in and out of the initially and then the problem i was damaged. and really is by military planes.

coming from around the world including the u.k. and other parts of europe. yet this has been the major challenge even with the designs design itself getting to the outlying areas the extent of damage to infrastructure. thank you very much correspondent talking to us from jakarta. into space particularly the part of it closest to is closest to earth the problem is we're filling up with trash almost two thousand new objects were added to the astronomical rubbish heap last year alone and scientists warn that it could endanger future space expeditions so this week thousands of experts are meeting in germany to try to find a solution to the ever increasing problem of space junk. the international astronauts congress posted this year by the german city of prima compass rockets

satellites and even space stations anything that humankind launches into orbit but the more we shoot into near it space the bigger our problem with potentially damaging space junk becomes the soviet it's like a bully taking some object a satellite for instance it will damage will sometimes even destroy it for example if it hits a fuel tank or a battery and causes an explosion or if an object like that even a small one collides with the international space station it can punch a hole in the hull causing an alley. our modern societies have become dependent on such satellite systems for telecommunications navigation and weather forecasting as well as much more that's why experts say we need to act quickly to reduce the risk of damaging this delicate equipment of what it was that we needed something like a vacuum cleaner but that wouldn't work in space of course it's a real challenge some objects will return to the atmosphere and just burn up that's the low will be topics at an altitude of four hundred to five hundred kilometers

and those in high orbits will stay in place more or less forever i was even asked some possible solutions are in the development and scientists say we need to act quickly before the space around our planet becomes too crowded for us to use. now some football and event as portugal footballer because china rinaldo has been left out of his national team squad for their international matches next week it comes after a rape allegation made against him by an american woman rinaldo has vehemently denied the allegations which were first reported by the german magazine der spiegel a week ago. he's one of the most recognizable faces in world football christiana rinaldo is now at the center of allegations he raped an american woman back in two thousand and nine catherine the your guy has filed a lawsuit against ronaldo claiming he repeatedly raped her in a los vegas hotel room while she screamed no. were now to himself took to twitter to deny the allegations calling raping

because of a technical problem that could cause fires the latest recall comes one day after to you it announced it was joining forces with softbank to step up its focus on driverless vehicles. through the united states of the world's biggest economy is currently firing on all cylinders economic growth came in at more than four percent recently unemployment is skating near a half century low and more good news is expected later today when the government will release its latest jobs figures now as corporate profits are surging one of the key questions is will people's wages also continue to rise. workers at online retail giant amazon in the usa now a minimum of fifteen dollars an hour from eleven the company is growing fat in prosperous times business is booming in the usa people are spending more companies are investing and exports are growing in the second quarter the most recent for

which data is available growth was at a record breaking four point one percent that's twice as high as in the previous three months u.s. president donald trump has no doubt who's responsible for the sustained upswing himself but is that really so. unemployment in the us for example has been falling for some time be economic upswing began long before trump came to office under his predecessor obama critics also point out that part of the recent positive data is due to increased orders from foreign companies that wanted to stock up before a new. tariffs were introduced that showed up as an uptick in exports a one off effect that can be sustained. for think a closer look at what's driving the u.s. economy with stefan leg he's an economist at the university of gallon in switzerland welcome stefan president trump his own economic policies and how much of the current growth can he actually take credit for well he can take

credit for some of the growth that we've seen in recent quarters. in the second quarter of two thousand and eighteen we saw g.d.p. growth of four point one percent of we just heard and large a large part of that is driven by private sector consumption that actually the lion's share of mind driver of the economic growth that we see currently and that has a lot to do with the tax cuts and jobs act signed in two thousand and seventeen now takes a fact into those eighteen so the regular tax payer in the united states has about one thousand to two thousand dollars more to spend and given the high propensity of many americans to spend additional income the policy of mr trump has actually contribution to more spending and that has driven the growth numbers that we see in this quarter now when do you think donald trump's economic policy is

a say the other part of these policies will have a broader impact on the u.s. economy i'm talking about the terrorists here. the tariff so far have not shown up in the statistics as to a poll the chair of the federal reserve just announced but it will have an effect and we just read this morning the vice president pence announced a tougher stand on china so if the united states follows through and doesn't reach a deal with china we might see escalating trade conflict between china and the united states and for sure they will have an impact it already shows that some companies stockpile. to prepare themselves for rising tariffs if that happens. so far the policies of mr trump have boosted economic growth but in terms of the trade conflict that is looming we have to wait and see how that affects economic growth in the next couple of quarters unemployment in the united states is at historic lows and more positive news is expected later today how much actually does

that tell us about the state of the u.s. economy where the unemployment rate is one of the key statistics to look at for the state of the economy yet it's not the only one of the united states unemployment is a very low level just below four percent which is very positive and has steadily decreased earth since two thousand and nine however we also have to look at how many people have jobs that is the employment rate and if we look at that number it's still far below where it was before the financial crisis so there's still lots of people who are potentially dropped out of the labor market and they don't show up in unemployment statistics but that doesn't mean they don't want to work differently from the university or so and go on thank you for your insight. u.s. vice president mike pence has urged google to immediately end development of its dragon fly app reportedly building the app especially to comply with censorship requirements in china and said the dragon-fly would strengthen china's censorship
