that littered the streets after bob's smashed the windows of synagogues and jewish owned stores and buildings is considered to be a prelude to the holocaust when six million jews were murdered germany's leaders mark the other version of my warning against another increase in anti semitism but november the knife is also the anniversary of two other crucial days in german history. eighty years on the horrors of the past still resound. german chancellor angela merkel attending a commemorative service at berlin's largest synagogue. in the us than you see us life is flourishing in germany once again that is an unexpected gift after the break with civilization that was the holocaust but at the same time we're seeing a worrying and to semitism that is threatening jewish life in our country and other places in the world what jews thought themselves say it's this anti semitism is
9:05 pm
expressed increasingly openly in unbridled hate speech on the internet and in the public sphere of the home. these anti semitic acts are a distressing reminder of events eighty years ago. on the night of the ninth of november nine hundred thirty eight the nazis unleashed a wave of violence against jews across germany thousands of synagogues jewish shops and businesses were looted and torched some one hundred jews were killed twenty six thousand were taken to concentration camps. but november the ninth is also the anniversary of two other fateful days in german history. one hundred years ago in the closing days of world war one the social democrat politician philip shined a man proclaimed a new german republic from a window of the price tag. and in one thousand nine hundred nine pro-democracy
9:06 pm
protests in east germany led to the fall of the berlin wall and ultimately to the reunification of germany three days that loom large in germany's collective memory . but it's our actions today that show whether we have truly understood and learned from their consequences said german president funk. hundred million devise in our actions we must prove that we germans have truly learned from the past and surely become more vigilant because of our history we need to take action any time another person's dignity is viral ated we need to take a stand when our language of hatred spreads its tentacles that we cannot allow a situation where some people claim once again to be the sole voice of the true people and marginalize others. under those. with the far i don't turn it into germany party in parliament for the first time
9:07 pm
and extremist voices on the rise across the country these were poignant words. thanks well let's take a look at one of the other historic events that took place on the ninth of november one hundred years ago for the shout of one proclaimed the first republic marking the end of the german empire this is a revolution that transformed germany into a democracy for the first time despite this it's not widely commemorated but one group of germans wants to change this. i said central germany. their own sorrow. at stuttgart strain station performers reenact the revolution of november one thousand nine hundred. that's when sailors started an uprising to unseat the german kaiser. to evoke what played out at numerous train stations across the german empire
9:08 pm
a century ago flash mobs with actors were staged at forty seven train stations this week thanks to thais he works for the fleet was a bridge foundation a think tank allied with germany's social democrats he's also served as social affairs attache at the german embassy in south africa he's committed to preserving a positive memory about the birth of germany's first democracy that's why he's active in the weimar republic association he and his cohorts want to bring history to life and have a lasting impact on the future. i saw him report briefly he's with us not me father showed us one of the clubs of fathers welcome to day doubly so why do you think germans should care more about the ninth of november nine hundred eighteen bother than the same day nine hundred thirty eight kristallnacht or in one thousand eight hundred nine when the berlin wall came down . and we definitely don't want to create
9:09 pm
a competition between these three then and i think we think we think they're equally important and they are connected in many ways so one should not overshadow the other definitely and our club is. generally interested in. bringing in a way of civic education the weimer republic closer to the german population because i'm a republican is a forgotten or. public and german they think they think of it only from its very bad ending. the so we think it has to be. it has to be made clear that the beginning of the constitution of the first democratic state in germany was an achievement which was important for germany and that is
9:10 pm
the general. general aim of all club and why do you think it has been lost or forgotten. there are many very many reasons of it i mean first of all because the it's only looked at because of its bad ending and many people said it was from the beginning it was deemed to to end that way which we think is not true it was not ending by itself it was destroyed by forces of undemocratic german people and. then there are many other many other reasons for that and when do you see any parallels between events in the incinerator in. today's political scene if you referred to the ninth of november and our action which you showed with the pictures of revolution is rolling. i think this is a special event and
9:11 pm
a special thing where we want to attract attention it is nothing which really. create some some some lessons for for today for for the germans today i think another revolution in this situation is not necessary and is not wanted. it is rather. the later history of the obama republic which is still very interesting for us because as i said. it shows that you have always to defend democracy and to fight for it otherwise it will be destroyed by enemies of it what has been the reaction to your initiative here in germany. you mean specifically the the actions which you were showing all general our work your your work to try and get people to remember this the i mean there is now and at this anniversary there is
9:12 pm
a very broad discussion in germany academically and even news papers in in many media is a broad discussion about the media of the one republic and this is what you want to influence and i think we we are able to do so good so here we wish you well thanks for joining. us here with. sort of a look at what else is going what which other stories are making headlines around the world leaders of britain france and belgium have visited world war warming the burial grounds and battle sites at the start of a weekend of events marking the centenary of the armistice british prime minister may said the commemorations were a time to reflect on the country's a shared history and to look at futures. president trump signed the order suspending asylum for migrants entering you know states illegally from mexico critics accuse the administration of deliberately slowing down the saddam process

9:14 pm
possibly connecting trump and russia democrats have not yet decided whether they'll subpoena dortch or or what aspects of the president's finances to look into. so how could all of this affect deutsche bank on all frankfurt financial correspondent call had risen sent us this report. as though it's a bank has its headquarters here in frankfurt of course people are talking a lot about this topic and they always have been since trump was in office and since the mother investigation and of course often with their hands over their mouth storage bankers will tell you that deutsche bank should never have done business with donald trump in the first place as a businessman he had a reputation of not always paying back what he owed of going insolvent often that's not the kind of person to want to do business with at least not from the point of view of an old school conservative banker but at the time deutsche bank was too eager to get into the market in the united states and to stay that greed
9:15 pm
eats brain that is what traders here on the trading floors would say about such behavior incessant of our financial chorus one economist who's in there well a u.s. federal judge has halted construction of the keystone x.l. oil pipeline which was supposed to run from canada to texas the u.s. district court of montana ruled that the trumpet ministration should not have overturned a ban on the project trump called the court's decision a disgrace he'd given the go ahead for the eight billion dollars project despite widespread protests saying it would create jobs and fresh infrastructure in twenty fifteen president barack obama had denied a permit for the pipeline off to nearest oil spill. now despite frosty relations between the united states and cuba one area of cooperation between the two countries has always remained war not his medical and scientific collaboration and now the u.s.

and cuba are teaming up to fight a common enemy cancer as they test the effectiveness of a revolutionary cuban treatment for lung cancer. some have hailed it as a miracle cure in the fight against lung cancer event or researches say the revolutionary technique involves the active immunology of a protein called e.g.f. that stimulates cell growth samples of abnormally developed e.g.f. from lung cancers mixed with agents that stimulate the immune system that helps the immune system to identify and target the proteins in the cancer so i'm asked and it's one more weapon in the fight against cancer and we can use it together with other weapons such as chemotherapy there. the treatment which is being administered by monthly injections at this cuban research center since two thousand and eleven has already been approved in bosnia parag why peru malaysia and sri
9:17 pm
lanka around five thousand patients worldwide are undergoing the treatment the roswell park cancer institute in buffalo in the united states formed a partnership with the cubans in two hundred fifteen. but the only clinical results are very interesting in that we're combining similar acts with state of the art immunotherapy so that we're ready not just for late fees testing but we're all to me ready for attention commercialization us but there's still work to be done researchers say first results from thirty american patients are very encouraging but they now need to replicate them in the largest sample group. terrorism is returning it to egypt after years of political unrest and terrorist attacks the sexes snapped back last year with more and more europeans returning and interests growing in countries with a lot of potential as well like china. the tourists are back around the pyramids of giza for example tourists who booked spain last year are coming to egypt this year

9:19 pm
to head off. you should be put there for. the locals are glad that tourism is picking up again and they hope that might help rejuvenate other sectors of the economy in the country on the nile. more news now with that effect however the thousands of migrants walk into the united states from central america face many dangerous activist groups say up to thirty thousand of god missing over the last ten years they don't do correspondent a toss a is is on the road with a migrant caravan and said this report. atwater knows all too well that being kidnapped and then simply disappearing is the biggest danger a few years ago his brother disappeared as he made his second attempt to reach the u.s. . we got as far as a child because. the police caught me under the porta me back i want to honduras.
9:20 pm
it was i mean i went back again to look for him but there was nothing. around ninety members of the caravan currently making its way north are said to have disappeared after getting on to trucks the reports from various organizations have not yet been confirmed i am pop corps but i mean i'm probably going to see on differing accounts of the numbers missing i close my head your know when some sources say any. of this one hundred m. also are all on the human rights or florida keys are looking into this case. and your model is sunny in this. it's feared that they may have been kidnapped and handed over to organized crime groups active in the area where they went missing. now obvious in the caravan a spooked. when jovan lost sight of his two friends he thought he'd never see them
9:21 pm
again. to see if i was really worried they had disappeared and i would never hear from them again but we got separated while i was trying to find space on one of the vehicles i had no idea where they had gone i don't know which. i'd say between ten and twenty thousand migrants have disappeared in the last ten years that's one reason why people are queuing to get into this tent inside they can call their families for free to reassure them that they're still ok i mean work with our lives if you don't fall off the train you got run over by a truck you know a lot. so no set us but it does your told runs everything here is that i mean no. we're most afraid for the children. because of the danger the people in the stadium divided register according to the region they came from that way they hope any disappearances will be noticed dad and
9:22 pm
that it's very dangerous travelling between mexico city and the us border we need to be well organized and able to look after each other we have to know about each other every individual and every child in that in need they got up it's on that mean you're. going to as crime is lying in white everywhere on the journey ahead the migrants are at risk of kidnapping and blackmail. it would have it been a son asking us again criminals that the migrants with take off is off weigh in on him and then they are forcibly held he. and subjected to human trafficking in another. but even those. attempts to jump the migrants even take place within temporary accommodation in mexico city the president of the mexican federal human rights commission says migrants are often approached by people claiming to be officials. now. no one had heard of the
9:23 pm
supposed organization. so they offered to take people in. in groups of eighteen. north and over the border into the u.s. . i think. the biggest concern for the people in the caravan is to avoid falling victim to criminals exploiting their desperation. now rapidly moving wildfires in northern california have forced thousands of people to flee their homes five chiefs have told all thirteen thousand residents of the town of malibu to leave several people have been found dead in burnt out cars california's governor elect a new some as a class a state of emergency the fires are expected to continue for days. in this sleepy town of paradise all hell has broken loose wildfire sweeping through northern california engulf the town forcing its twenty seven thousand residents to
9:24 pm
flee. authorities estimate that around two thousand buildings were destroyed a strong winds whipped up the blaze. extremely hazardous lots of smoke dark devastation actually burning all throughout the town to me i looked up there for eighteen years and it looks like the fire came. east and just came straight through town all the way to the west where the flames consume the homes residents john breaux is in a desperate bid to escape the inferno spread to rapidly that families had no choice but to take roots already enveloped by fire the houses just. long periods of drought have created tinderbox conditions along the fire to spread quickly the situation is unlikely to improve through. the challenge also for us is that we are at the beginning of a significant santa ana wind event that will last a number of days right now we have somewhere between four and five hundred five
9:25 pm
firefighters on scene many more on request and will be coming in having barely escaped with their lives residents are in for a shock when they return to find that paradise lost. on to football in germany's biggest match of the season takes place on saturday known as death classic in pittsburgh the latest proceed dortmund against defending champions by munich so far this season dortmund undefeated in the league making them the hottest club right now i'm giving them biggest chance in years to beat. dortmund have looked like a well oiled machine through the first ten but just league matches no losses three draws and a league high thirty goals scored i it's perfect timing to welcome the defending champions by in munich to their own back yard because when lose or draw dortmund will remain table leaders in fact they haven't lost in the league since losing five

or took over but the coach tanks there's still room to grow. we've made progress in the last three or four months but we still have a lot to learn tactically. we have a young team and they need time to develop that's normal when you're nineteen or twenty you're not fully mature and funds have to be snotty snitched. historically byron have won the lion's share of the fixtures against or out of this season byron's form has been lackluster under new coach nico kovacs resulting in the team dropping in the standings but the byron boss remains as calm as can be i devise a system of. i know a lot gets made of this fim pressure but believe me i don't feel any pressure two and a half years ago with frankfurt i had the relegation play off that was about survival
