leading a new push to take a more aggressive stance on iran at a conference in the polish capital warsaw delegates from more than sixty countries are meeting for talks on security in the middle east they're sent to discuss the threat posed by iran as well as conflicts in syria yemen and israel palestine israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and u.s. vice president mike pence are headlining the meeting foreign ministers from many arab nations are also attending but the talks are also notable for the countries not sending high ranking delegations including france and germany now netanyahu has sparked controversy after he referred to a quote rouer with iran in a tweet which has since been deleted is now rephrased as comments saying this is an open meeting with representatives of leading arab countries that are sitting down

together with israel in order to advance the common interest of come batting iran all right let's get more on all of this now and for that i'm joined by the devil you correspondent tanya kramer who's in jerusalem hello to you tanya so netanyahu has tweeted caused a real stir in warsaw what's behind it. well i mean mr to now it's known for it taking a tough stance against iran but it was this particular use of words war against iran there was a statement being put out last night at the english translation where the first version of it actually quoted that to find a common stands. and to advance common interests in the war against iran that this statement was again then just some time later every issue that was somehow soft and into combating iran and of course the rains have. picked up on that and

they said well this shows rather the true colors of mr netanyahu and also the two colors of this conference speaking about that they want to find a common alliance against iran so this is so what has been said over here and some officials said this was a matter of mistranslation. all right so saying it was just a matter of mistranslation time it tell us what you think netanyahu was really hoping concretely to get out of the summit in warsaw. well on the one hand of course i mean and he made that very clear in his statements is to find this a common alliance against the stret of iran and to find a very broad outlines you know of course the u.s. has said that this summit is not just about iran after a lot of criticism and i say it should look at a broader perspective about peace and security also possibly some talk

about the palestinian israeli conflict but i think the other thing that is very important for mr netanyahu you see he's president full sitting here for the first time in years very openly in public with leaders from other arab countries and what he has said in the past is that ties with certain countries like saudi arabia improving ties with countries has had no diplomatic relations and that's very important for him to show this image and to find this common alliance against a common enemy of iran time and crime are reporting from jerusalem we appreciate it . well for its part iran has called the middle east conference in warsaw a circus and says it's an attempt to demonize the country and iran is taking part in parallel talks today in the russian resort town of sochi with the other key players in the syrian conflict the leaders of russia iran and turkey are on opposing sides but have previously come together to try and bring about

a truce in the ongoing civil war they're sent to discuss the situation in the demilitarized zone around the province of italy is the last rebel held enclave now buffer zone was established in a deal between russia and turkey last year but hostilities there have continued while russian president vladimir putin and iran says on rouhani are the main backers of syrian president bashar al assad turkey's president supports rebel forces fighting assad also on the agenda will be the planned withdrawal of u.s. troops from the conflict after u.s. president donald trump made a controversial announcement in december this will leave kurdish troops who are closely allied with the u.s. vulnerable we now have this report from the kurdish city of kabbani in northern syria. lady who visits this grave in cobol and every thursday to pray and honor the memory of her only son rody he died fighting the so-called islamic state

in twenty thirteen as did thousands more kurds. hopes her sons commitment to freedom wasn't in vain it's a hope that unites many mothers who have lost their sons in this region. people whom they will never forget them it is truly a tremendous loss that we're keeping our composure by remembering our sons in our hometown god forbid that blood has been shed in vain them and not a high level of. but many kurds in northern syria have misgivings this is where the kurdish militia the y.p. g forced the i asked to retreat in a major offensive in late two thousand and fourteen the price of freedom was high a heavy death toll and enormous destruction. today another danger looms from the turkish side. across the border nearby president type of the one views the wife p.g. as an offshoot of the outlawed kurdish workers' party the p.k. k. he's threatening

a military offensive because the don't have to education ration of northern syria would be nothing short of colonialism. where defending our country here. what does add to on once here let them know what does he want from a human. error one insists on creating what he calls a security zone along the turkish border he's calling on the wipe e.g. to pull out of this thirty kilometer strip if it complies turkey would then control the area for many kurds living in co bannon that amounts to a nightmare but it's because i think security zone is the wrong term this area has been secure for a long time now the whole world knows that syria's north and east is the safest region in the entire country. but that could change dramatically. grieving families like layla's would be all the more and bettered if turkey were to take control of her fallen son's final resting place. let's get you up to speed

now on some of the other stories making news around the world a u.s. judge has ruled that former trump campaign manager paul metaphors intentionally lied to investigators probing russian interference in the twenty sixteen election after being convicted of financial fraud last year when a ford promised to cooperate with the progress part of a plea deal breaching that agreement means he could face a lengthy jail term. venezuela's self-proclaimed president one who i do is attempting to wrest control of the state's company the national assembly led by guy joe has announced its own board of directors to run the vital petroleum producer it's the latest move by by doing his campaign to force president nicolas maduro from power. in the philippines prominent journalist maria ressa has been released on bail following her arrest on charges of cyber liable on wednesday russell is

head of the news website rappler which is reported critically of president for injury go to terror for supporters see the charges against her as a government attack on press freedom. you're watching d.w. news still to come in this half hour. a lesbian love story at the berlin film festival the true story of spain's first same sex marriage more than one hundred years ago about the real controversy is because it's produced by netflix. now european aviation giant airbus is ending production of its super jumbo passenger jet the a three eighty after major orders from australia's quantas airlines and who buys emirates were canceled it's good news for rival boeing bunch a big blow for airbus the company had hoped the eighth. a.t. would squeeze out a boeing seven forty seven and revolutionize air travel ban airlines have been

cautious about committing to the costly double decker planes a three eighty took off for the first time in two thousand and eight and it seats around five hundred passengers. let's get a bit more on the story and for that i'm joined in the studio by christopher kober from get up any business hello to you christophe so you know there is a three eighty was of course quite a remarkable achievement at least in its day so why wasn't it a financial success for airbus there are several reasons for that one the three it is the world's biggest atlanta we just saw there in the report it has about five hundred fifty seats in a regular consecration and selling those seats to passengers can be challenging second usually it is four engines and they consume a lot of fuel now adays there are smaller jets that can also go a long distance. but they only have two engines for that matter consume much less

fuel and fuel cost is an issue with airlines and the third one is. market didn't develop as airbus anticipated so rather than the passenger numbers increasing on the route between the major hubs of the world new york london paris hong kong shanghai people want to fly basically door to door if i want to fly from hamburg to boston i want to go direct without going through a major hub and for these sort of connections the a three eighty is simply too big and you can see that no major airline south america has bought it no airline in africa has bought it all of them are going for smaller long distance planes all right so efficiency seems to be a key factor and these developments so if they stop building this jumbo jet and what will be the impact on the company it is quite a blow to airbus and taking the billions of euros of development into account. airbus didn't make a cent on the overall by this decision to end the production about three. thousand

five hundred workers are impacted however airbus says that the backlog in orders particularly for its mid-range jet is three twenty are so big that the jobs can be shifted within the company. christe of color from business thanks so much well here in germany the government has released new figures showing that the number of anti-semitic crimes committed has risen by almost ten percent over the past year and violent attacks are up by more than sixty percent though only sixty two incidents were recorded when statistics are causing alarm in jewish communities and have prompted the central council of jews in germany to call for stronger action by police and politicians the signboards of a jewish restaurant smashed a pig's head marked with a star of david dumped by a door swastikas and stars of david on

a wall this was the aftermath of an anti semitic attack in the eastern german city of chemists in august twenty eighth. it was just one of more than sixteen hundred anti semitic crimes committed in germany last year that's an increase of ten percent on twenty seventeen particularly worrying the number of violent incidents like this one in berlin has increased by two thirds even design company i am concerned but not really surprised it fits with what i hear from jewish organizations and representatives when i talk to them but. it should give us the impetus to take preventative action soon and to make sure that anti semitism does not arise in the first place if it was presented with this was gonna be it. much of this hatred comes from far right supporters but experts say some of it derives from opposition to israel including from migrants from the muslim world and germany is not alone anti semitic incidents are becoming more common in other countries to

france this week reported a rise of more than seventy percent in twenty eighteen compared with the previous year. and islam it is unfortunately anti-semitism is on the advance everywhere in europe we need to find european solutions i support the idea of making the fight against anti-semitism a priority for the german e.u. presidency next year. another part of the picture in germany is that the jewish community is growing and demonstrations of solidarity with them by non jews are common while most germans recognize that from the holocaust comes a special responsibility to protect jews there is sadly still a minority ready to turn violent aggression against them. well joining us in the studio for more on all of these developments is honest assia petitioner she chairs a jewish student organization here in berlin and she also works for other jewish

institutions in germany and associate thanks so much for being with us so i mean we just saw in this report some pretty disturbing statistics anti-semitic offenses on the rise in germany how does that make you feel are you afraid actually afraid is not the right term for me personally. i think we already faced semitic. thoughts and. also deeds in germany before but now we can target damn and now we can focus on what's happening and that makes me feel strong actually that now we we have to move to address this problem so what about your personal experience have you encountered any kind of discrimination or even attack personally yes for sure that was mostly connected to untie israel politics. yeah that

was pretty scary especially on the streets when the demonstrations in two thousand and fourteen started and that was a very scary moment for me because i used to work in the jewish community and i was literally afraid to step out of the building because i didn't know what will happen to me outside. so yes for sure and can you tell us a little bit more in detail what happened and what were people saying or how were they behaving there was screaming that jews have to be gassed in the chambers and that the retore we are not used to or we connect definitely to holocausts rhetorical and that's definitely very scary and could you identify who were those people shouting those slogans. those slogans were connected to

a demonstration connected to. demonstration connected again to the gaza war so actually it wasn't something about jews in germany this which was very fast. well i also want to ask you about your work within the jewish community and you're active in a number of different institutions and organizations how important is it for you to be visible in your work after two thousand and fourteen it became more important to me especially because i saw that this as i said switch from israel to untie semitic is very fast and actually it's in plains that the same and i think that's that was the moment when i personally understood that it's important to invest more in did you cation an indication and. speaking of

education i really want to ask you quickly if you can't explain to us the work you do with the initiative called rent a jew it sounds very strange it sounds very provocative and that's exactly the goal it's an educational program to give an approach unity to educational institutions like schools to needs real juice because most of. the main population in germany just heard about jewish society in germany but never spoke to any person from this community and that brings people together and develops a dialogue all right and is to see a petition or think you so very much for being with us today thank you now one year ago today a nineteen year old student shot his way through a high school in parkland in the u.s. state of florida killing seventeen people and like so many times before the nation was gripped by shock and grief but what happened next was different students at the

high school started a movement called march for our lives their goal the tightening of gun laws our next report looks at how far they've come and one of them in particular cameron cascade. today he's a guest of the u.s. capital washington but his life could have easily ended a year ago with the high school shooting in parkland cameron caskey is now eighteen and with the help of a democrat congressman he's pushing for tighter gun controls in the u.s. . well i think everyone in the country can get behind understanding that people who cannot pass a background check should not be able to purchase a firearm but beyond that i think that our country needs to have an assault weapon ban and buyback i think that's almost a no brainer if you look at how other countries in this world they don't deal with this kind of thing they don't have citizens walking around with military firepower that's preposterous to that cameron has become one of the most prominent gun control activists a new us the night after the high school shooting he invited other students to come

to his house to form a protest movement california representative eric while well says the students motivated him. and his classmates have inspired me at a time where i had many lawmakers who had lost hope that we could do anything about gun violence for six years in congress and seen tragedy after tragedy in moments of silence followed by moments of inaction but it was these images that really changed something in the usa at the marjorie stoneman douglas high school in parkland florida children running for their lives seventeen students and teachers died in the attack many said the mascot could have been prevented because the shooter had already been red flagged as having psychological issues nevertheless he was able to legally purchase firearms under the slogan enough cameron and his classmates organized protests across the u.s. . in march twenty eighth seen hundreds of thousands of people rallied in washington

cameron said what was on many people's minds. to the leaders skeptics and cynics who told us to sit down and say stay silent wait your turn welcomes of the revolution was after the parklane shooting american public opinion swung sharply in favor of tighter gun controls. some individual states took action in florida the minimum age for purchasing weapons was raised to twenty one the police are now also able to confiscate weapons of citizens determined to be psychologically ill erik's wild bill is now pushing a proposition in congress for a check system to cover all commercial firearm sales in the country but republicans are pushing back on his bill many say the problem is illegal immigrants crossing the mexican u.s. border chary would not have stopped many of the circumstances i raised but a wall

a barrier on the southern border may have and that's what we're fighting for. the father of one of the victims of the parklane shooting could not keep quiet jenny was spared. the republicans in the senate have the numbers to block new gun regulation. but the democrats now have control of the house of representatives and cameron hopes they'll put the topic on the agenda. it's inspiring to me because in a time when everybody felt so hopeless and everybody was looking at our government and seeing a lack of representation for them we've got a we've got a bright new future coming thanks to cameron and his fellow classmates from parkland politicians like eric swallow determined to get the job done. now as the berlin international film festival enters its last day is a film about lesbian love is in the running for a coveted golden bear award called elisa and marcella the netflix production is the

true story of two spanish women and their desire to be together in conservative spain more than a hundred years ago. time to shine isabella is one of seven female directors in this year's competition line up. she was joined on the red carpet by actresses natalya and gretel for nanda is to play the main characters. when ilesa and marcella meet in a high school in northwestern spain they fall head over heels in love. it's a forbidden love kept secret. a relationship that the arch catholic and often homophobic population at the end of the one nine hundred centuries doesn't approve of. the movie is controversial not because of its story but because it was produced by the online

streaming service netflix cinema owners and distributors fear financial losses and they want the movie out of the line up they say the belly not as a publicly funded film festival should only promote movies that will be released in cinemas. director isabelle question it says her film will be shown in spanish cinema as at least the call for a boycott makes her angry i just wrote the script i tried to have financing for ten years and. nobody really really was interested in doing it the culture has to be about respect the ouster and one thing saying the film doesn't deserve to be here it's not respecting the author and your second in the movie the two women clinging to their love with a lisa posing as a man the to get married their union was the first same sex marriage in spain more

than one hundred years before marriage equality was legalized. based on a true story this could have been a powerful film paying tribute to the l g p t communities decades long fight for equal rights yet the slow and often implausible movie doesn't live up to that promise. a quick reminder now of our top stories. the u.s. and israel are leading a new push against iran at a conference in the polish capital war song the islamic republic has called the conference a circus some key nations have only sent lower ranking delegations. government figures show that anti-semitic crimes are on the rise in germany hate crimes against jews are up by almost ten per cent a year on here sparking alarm among jewish communities. they're watching d.w. news business is up next. berlin's twenty four hour club scene draw so many people
