9:01 am
you keep going as soon as you decide you're content with yourself couldn't be any better and it's time to call it a day remembering a man who shaped the global fashion industry for decades tributes pouring in for the late karl lagerfeld. i'm brian thomas thanks so much for being with us thousands in france have been taking to the streets to protest a spike in anti-semitic attacks now that's after dozens of graves were vandalized at a jewish cemetery present an annual mccrone described that as an attack on the nation france is home to the world's largest jewish population outside israel and the u.s. . an outpouring of select darity on paris's plussed in the republic. thousands. purchas just turned out to express their support for friends as jews.
9:02 am
their anger magnified by yet another desecration of a jewish cemetery. these were just one of dozens of demonstrations nationwide in response to a search and high semitic hate crimes. i think that anti-semitic actions are on the rise it's something that strikes fear that brings back bad memories we want to show younger generations that there's another path to take other than this one. this is what future the outrage the jewish cemetery in the village of quite some time in eastern france they faced with swastikas and other anti-semitic graffiti french president and when and where mcallen has vowed to bring the vandals to justice and once more to stop anti-semitism in his tracks. a group of individuals full of hate has unfortunately done what others have done before for too many years.
9:03 am
i'm here to express for solidarity of a whole nation it did you express our complete determination in fighting and he semitism whatever shape it takes. this was the second time a jewish cemetery has been desecrated in recent months and friends in december nearly forty graves and a holocaust memorial were vandalized in the same region. it is attacks like these that brought people together. not only ordinary citizens but also top politicians and religious leaders i don't easily they wanted to send a clear message they have heard enough. ok let's go straight to paris. we second it tells more about these protests. well there were at protests across
9:04 am
the country in about sixty cities really thousands of people took to the streets about twenty thousand in paris the one in paris specially was organized by the socialist party and many people from different parties came to the protest that's why some people actually say you know we don't want so many politicians to be there we organize ing our own protests there was a second one in paris organized by anti-racist organizations together with far left on ization civil organizations and they were saying you know we really want to stand up against anti semitism and we want to prevent british and some pick this from pricking this out from their own interests really you know it comes of as an important juncture for france what's behind the country's sharp rise in anti semitism we're seeing a seventy five percent increase in and he's medic attacks you're on your. well absolutely it comes from different sides on the one hand from found right activists but also you know the conflict in israel has traditionally be important to france
9:05 am
so it is belief that amongst they used in these anti semitic attacks they also many people who feel very close to calista unions who somehow radicalized and when you look at what the government just arrested after the incident on saturday against the jews intellects i don't think it caught at the thirty six year old man he was arrested in new orleans this morning and he is known to be a place to the salafist movement a radical movement of. muslims really so the government looks at both sides of his way and is trying to chase this up ok now at this hour vandalized summit terry president mccrone promised a crackdown we're going to look like. the government is looking into actually getting social platforms to control their contents and i was speaking to. someone from a jewish organized organization here who is telling me you know the rise in anticipated act is really also down to all these social networks where it's so easy
9:06 am
to say something and to just share it and we agrees without double checking any facts really so the government wants to crack down on this they're right they're running some kind of trial until mid march to see how this what like that platforms like facebook or twitter should actually withdraw content that is anti semitic and then they're looking into maybe putting out a law on this little oh thanks so much for that from paris. well the british government says it is revoking the citizenship of a teenager who joined so-called islamic state in syria head of showing a beggar who left london at the age of fifteen to travel to the word zone so she now wants to return home agama her newborn son are currently living in a refugee camp in northern syria having fled the last stronghold her lawyers say they're considering legal action. now bedroom's case is very much part of

a larger discussion over whether europe's ios fighters should be tried at home or face terrorism charges elsewhere washington wants countries like germany france and britain to take back captured fighters who are european citizens and their families . met one german woman whose fate is i'm sure she joined i-s. and then fled as american led forces advance on its last stronghold in syria. whole refugee camp in syria home to many of the so-called islamic state wives and their children fleeing the terror group's last stronghold in the country among them nineteen year old leonora she was one of the last german i.a.s. wives to leave the city of. husband and i asked fighter is refusing to give up but he let her and the children. inside i would say that it was when i asked lost control of rocca things got really bad. also just before i left islamic
9:08 am
state it was horror complete torah i was in my rooms and i nearly starved. i asked fighters in announced the rounded by soldiers from the syrian democratic forces and i lions of kurdish and arab militias fighting is on hold the two sides are in talks the few hundred i asked find his in want to be evacuated with their families to the jihadist stronghold of it in west in syria but the s.d.f. is refusing it once complete surrender. is the last i asked bastin in syria administratively it's long been in ruins i his number plates and now history. area they control has shrunk considerably and it's clear they have hardly any radios so communication between them is minimal. the i.r.s.
9:09 am
functions in bedrooms have just two options fight tone or go to prison that includes the foreign jihadists among the many germans the s.d.f. says that home countries must now take responsibility fold them. just don't have the resources to try them for the crimes that they've perpetrated against the syrians and the iraqis. and so we'll do all we can just send those arrested back to their home countries. meanwhile i asked wives slightly annoyed hoping to come back to germany and start a new life leonora says she knows that won't be easy. because of all the attacks in fronts germany is almost certainly terrified of having i asked returning back and i'm sure everyone is saying i won't create any problems that could be one or two who do intend to carry out terrorist attacks. and far as i and the women
9:10 am
whom i've met in the unicef camp a concern and we just want to get home and finally live a peaceful life again. but it's not clear when lan or and other german i asked members will be able to make their way home from syria and under what conditions. let's talk more about this now with good of your correspondent kate brady following the story kate what is german and british law say about the return of the stache olds who joined islamic state to wage war in another country. well the u.k. does not have the right to revoke his citizenship from british citizens if they are proven to have to prove to pose a risk sorry to national security but only if they have jule nationality so if they have a second citizenship now this is a measure which germany has also been considering for some years now and in recent weeks has become a point of contention once again in the german government so he said on one side
9:11 am
you have the german conservatives demanding a similar law to that in the u.k. and there that coalition partners the social democrats positioning themselves against that so this could still be something that could one day become a measure here in germany to ok but still germany will simply have to deal with this problem how does a country intend to do that to to bring back word to repatriate its islamic state fighters well the german interior minister horse has now set out a rather strict set of measures that all terms from repatriating i asked foreign fighters those thoughts of be around forty foreign fighters in kurdish detention who have german passports that as a whole has made it clear that they would only be eligible to return to germany if they can prove that they are in fact german citizens and that they don't pose
9:12 am
a risk to national security here in germany and of course each case will be assessed individually and there will also be checks made to ensure that these foreign fighters with german citizenship and also wanted in another country very well demonstrating that they don't pose a risk is certainly a challenge what other challenges is germany facing with this part. well proving these i asked fight as i'd identity in the first place is also going to be quite difficult they have no consular access at the moment in syria and another difficulty as well is the fact that germany has severed diplomatic ties with the syrian government and it also doesn't recognize the syrian kurdish autonomous region so identifying these as foreign fighters could well indeed be very difficult and this abate of course has been triggered as well by the threat that came from the us earlier this week from the us president donald trump that the
9:13 am
fighters detained at the moment in syria would be released if they weren't repatriated to be put on trial in their home countries and so this is of course something that germany's going to have to deal with as well again trying to prove these people's identities in the first place but then if they were to be then put on trial in germany it would also be difficult to prove with witnesses or with evidence that these crimes were in fact carried out in syria and time is of the essence with the pressure from washington brady thanks very much. now for a look at some of the other stories making the news it's our rescue teams in switzerland have worked into the night after an avalanche hit a popular mountain resort four people have been pulled from the snow but more may still be buried the avalanche occurred in the town of call matanya in the heart of

9:19 am
tempo south by and munich on the other hand the not more defensive something that i think even took you can crop a bit by surprise but i think the one you know dry something that both sides can work with let's take a look. liverpool pressured by in munich from the get go they paid off the english side we're creating them more and the better of the chances but liverpool's dominant display lacked the killer touch sad human a with perhaps the best chance of the game but he couldn't quite get his footing right by and absorbed all the pressure adopting a more defensive approach it was effective if a pool where unable to break down by ends defends with both sides shouting each other down this one ended in a goalless draw. it's the first like anything to go by it certainly sets up an exciting exciting return like in munich you know what does this all mean for that return leg of your yeah so by and of course for outstanding defensive but it
9:20 am
did cost them a prawn they created very very few chances and it showed i mean live on bosky the top men up front he barely got a you know made contact with the ball in dangerous position so coach. and by and in general they just need to find a balance in the return leg and that task of course is made now a lot harder because they're full back yahshua to make he will miss the return that because he picked up a yellow card and he was i'm telling you brian in beast mode last night and of course liverpool as well will have to start defend a virtual bandai back and he too is a monster of a defender so it will be no easy task for buy and it could go either way yes yeah ok you know we had the other japanese league match just like a lot of celebrities as well do you expect that those who expect that no goals at all but neither boston or on managed to break the deadlock but it was a lot more embarrassing for us in one eye because they produced twenty five shots
9:21 am
and they just couldn't finish and that's on except acceptable for side with the likes of you know messi louis stronger as but yawn you know what credit to them i mean this side this french side has troubled some of the big european teams in the champions sneak they drew and they won against manchester city in the group stages and that's also not forget that they are the only team in the french seek to beat germany this season ok so they they have a lot going for them that we have tonight another match up between the bundesliga and the english premier league you tell us about that. look no disrespect but manchester city a clear favorite stay top of the table in the premier league they have quality and depth as far as the eye can see shall can mean while i'm. when they're not we in top four and form they not win it performing well in the bundesliga it seems like they just surviving and they likely will miss out on a european spot next season though this one no brainer has manchester city written
9:22 am
all over it ok this is manchester city is written all over it is about what about shock is there anything that might save them there's or is there something or is this all about manchester at the end of the dates and football has a huge element of luck in it so you never know we have upsets in football all the time and hopefully i know maybe if i wish for and pray for america as all i can say when it comes to the ok will still be out there doing the ileum ok chris. thanks a lot thanks for looking at all these games last i grew up like a leave of thank you very much well the world of fashion has been saying goodbye to one of its most creative figures karl lagerfeld the creative head of fashion house chanel has died in parasitic age of eighty five during a career spanning nearly seventy years the hamburg born designer was one of the most pro prolific in modern fashion for decades he played a q. role in shaping the direction of the milkman to multi-billion dollar global
