place. the arab. place. oh i am. this is deja vu news coming to you live from berlin in paris and in other friends cities thousands joined rallies against anti semitism the protests come after a spike in incidents targeting the country's jewish community the government promises to clamp down also coming up some of the women fleeing abuse to seek asylum in germany say they are still being threatened from home and in a v.w. exclusive this in the country's embassy here is complicit. and russian president vladimir putin gives his an address on the state of the nation she's into his force

in the kremlin but poll ratings show a slide in support for him. just fashionable spade tribute to one of the industry's leading lights tributes pouring in for karl lagerfeld the german designer who passed away at the age of eighty five. zero. of a warm welcome to you under god shima. thousands in france have taken to the streets to protest against a spike in anti semitic attacks saying such a feat means that's enough this comes after dozens of graves vandalized the jewish cemetery president describe it as an attack on the nation france is home to the world's largest jewish population outside israel and the united states. an

outpouring of solidarity on paris's plussed in the republic. thousands of protesters turned out to express their support for france's jews. and their anger magnified by yet another desecration of a jewish cemetery. the these were just one of dozens of demonstrations nationwide in response to a search and high semitic hate crimes of. a few 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 and there's another path to take from. this is what future the outreach the jewish cemetery in the village of quite some time in eastern france he faced with swastikas and other anti-semitic graffiti french president has vowed to bring the vandals to justice and once more to stop

anti-semitism in its tracks. a group of individuals full of hate has unfortunately . done before for too many years. i'm here to express for solidarity of the whole nation. will complete determination in fighting and she semitism whatever shape it takes. this was the second time a jewish cemetery has been desecrated in recent months and fronts. in december nearly forty graves and a whole coast memorial 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 believe they wanted to send a clear message they've had enough. less than was straight to our

correspondent these are how support was there for these demonstrations in france when there were thousands of people in the streets yesterday in about six cities across france but you know when you compare it to other demonstrations in the past in early two thousand fifteen for example after the attack on the satirical magazine shall your door and use of the market here in paris at that time there were more than a million people in the streets so a few thousands in the streets in paris is not that much in in france is not that much and also there was some criticism especially concerning one gathering at the plaza learned here in france where many plea to since turned up some people feared that these politicians might try to pick up the cause for their own interests and there was an alternative gathering every further north in paris organized the anti racism organizations and far left organizations civil organizations really and

there were saying that they were against anti-semitism obviously so kind of a mixed picture here and we've seen anti semitism attacks on the rise in many european countries in france they went down from three hundred eleven in two thousand and seventeen to more that five hundred forty last year i did talk as to why this is happening. well anti semitism ideas are thriving in certain far right mill use in groups from the far right but also in some other groups that is so-called radicalized muslim groups so when you look at who got arrested this morning actually the police arrested one of the people who had insulted the court that jewish intellectual he got and started last saturday by yellow vests protestors and that person a thirty six year old telephone say it's person from eastern france and lose he was actually known to be radicalized in the close to muslim groups to so-called south

to the so-called salafist movement that stands for a an implementation of sharia law a very strict islamic law so that the authorities are really looking at specially at these two groups the far right and some radicalized muslim groups and these are president mccraw has strongly condemned attacks on jewish targets but what is the government doing to deal with the problem. the government is now talking about coming up with a new nor they're running you know try with social networks such as facebook and twitter because they want these social networks to withdraw anti semitic and also racial contents obviously that the government is talking to these companies but also to other kind to other countries in europe and trying to make this a european effort really because i was talking to someone at a jewish organization here in your event she told me that you know the write an anti semitic act is also down to the fact that they have so many social networks

and it's so easy now nowadays to post something online and just to share it without fact checking anything and that's why anti-semitic ideas can thrive really the government now wants to do something against that trial that's running until mid march and and i'm i caught once you come up with a new law against these things and forcing you know social networks to withdraw such content in the near future. lisa loose in paris thank you very much now you may remember the case of the saudi teenager who luck to says in an airport hotel room last month to escape her family mohamed al canoing was ultimately given asylum in canada sunday she is not the only woman from the ultra conservative islamic kingdom who has fled file life a number of saudi women have come to germany to seek asylum but they say they have been threatened by their families and they told the exclusively they believe the saudi embassy here is helping them. they fled from saudi arabia to germany

here they hope for safety and freedom but these women still live under threat from their families. continue. to have to i thought i was safe that the psychological warfare of the violence and oppression would be over but i still feel like they could get me. the women offer to talk to us only on condition of anonymity we have changed their names and voices. say shortly after arriving in germany they received threatening messages from their families. for i know my family knew i was in germany in one city all of that info so there threatened me with medication can animate that i am sure of that through their connections with the saudi embassy and through the saudi embassies connections and it spies that are everywhere they can get information but i do not know the kind of information and what they know exactly in my heart of no way you talk to me

a ten minute mark to use. some activists claim that the cases of murder and russia are part of a wider pattern. people are following we have people breaking into apartments and the families always know precisely what is happening these patterns are repeating themselves and we are just ask ourself just every family do this individually and pay someone here in germany that would take a huge effort could someone else be behind it and the suspicion is of course that maybe the saudi embassy is the one initiating all this. stuff. we spoke to several parties dealing with saudis seeking asylum abroad they suggested that the saudi embassy could be directly or indirectly involved trying to get refugees to return we reached out multiple times to the embassy in berlin efforts to contact them over the phone and via e-mail came to nothing. but still

the question why would saudi authorities help families trace women who flee abroad . underside radius concentration it's citizens government their mana key the king. in return they tell the men that they can have complete control over their women so when a saudi woman needs have found this out authorities will go out of their way to ensure that she has returned because not doing so means that people themselves may start to question why their own beauty and to the king and why they don't have their own. say turning back isn't possible they fear they might be tortured even killed. during the night is that correspondents who had to search that story welcome sam now these women are living in fear of these of their lives have the has anyone thought of going to the german authorities for protection we

did they did it let's start with us here we of course contect with the ministry of the interior and berlin and they said they have no knowledge of anything going on in that century reception center in sex and hold well all asylum seekers from from saudi arabia they have to go to and we then contacted the ministry of the interior of that particular federal state and they said yes they have knowledge and let me quote it's a well known problem procedures and appropriate measures are in place and then when we are so what are these procedures and appropriate measures we didn't get any further on so to our request for you know please give us an answer because we really would like to know and also that was one of the women that we basically spoke to intensively we went to the police station with her when she actually fight a complaint ok so how are then these women staying safe. it's different for each and every individual case because what can you to know and i'm rita is that you know when the asylum request as process they have to stay in this state in

sex and sex and the on hold and then after that let's say they are granted right of residence they have to stay there that's a legal requirement for three years only then are they free to you know to move elsewhere and they're only very few exceptions from the roots of course these women try and get that exception from the rule but as long as that is not granted they are all you know concentrated in this state and so that makes it rather easy to find them and to spy on them and they all basically know rate at the same to us and they don't know each other not all of them know each other is that they felt especially in that central reception center in high brush that where they are it's their reference point they felt spied upon by fellow refugees and the allegation here is that the embassy is involved because information get that there ended up with a family in saudi arabia so how does that happen now these women obviously very scared

to speak in public but they spoke exclusively to d.w. what this is about the specific circumstances to why they're fleeing their homeland again individual reasons but they did side for instance domestic abuse they didn't side to the feeling of all pression because as you know every woman in saudi arabia needs a legal guardian you know if they want to study if they want to go to the doctors that if they want to study they need male consent and in one particular case there was a fractal for forced marriage and that's then when this woman decided to flee and to come abroad and to stay in germany right saudi arabia's off a strong on women's rights sunder peterson thank you very much for those insights. let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the bond after visiting pakistan saudi arabia's crown prince is in delhi for talks with indian leaders saw the official say mama been some on hopes of a diplomatic role in deescalating the situation between the two neighbors tensions

and russian president putin has promised to rapidly improve living standards in the country in the state of the nation address fourteen said to many russians were living in poverty he pledged a number of measures he said would boost living conditions within a year those on the seas include tax breaks and increasing payments to young families a recent report found approval ratings for the russian president have fallen shall play. because one arab tinton is in moscow and he joins me now from then on this stage of the nation and this is always highly anticipated aaron what are some of the key points of putin's address sofa. so far putting this focus purely on issues that influence the russian pocketbook basically he was focusing on the fact that there's a lot of popular consent throughout the nation right now

a lot of people feeling that they are paying for some of the follies that the russian government isn't teachin real wages are dropping the economy is stagnant and that of the month a lot of russians feel they don't just have enough money left over and that's resulted as we say in falling support for people and that's really what it's been focusing on this year and it's a market change of course to the more martial rhetoric that we heard last year during the same speech listen here to put it was reelected with the large majority and upset then his approval ratings have slumped why is that. as we were just discussing it's primarily part of the economic hardships that many russians feel that they're confronted with i've been talking to people here on the streets and they're saying the last four years they've seen their wages drop they've seen because of the sanctions the economy really stagnant they can't get as many products that used to and they really feel like they're being out. to tighten their economic point belts to the point where as one person told me they're starting to believe that's really kind of resulted in this fit is the wave of falling popularity also contributing to that was

a deeply unpopular pension reform which saw the largest protests against britain's power since two thousand and twelve and a lot of economic hardship is also spilling over into the financial industry and i believe my colleague new drugs torch was just out to filming a report on how the banking industry is reacting to the sagging economy. yon's bank and. are just two of the financial institutions that russia's central bank has stepped in to save decisions that cost millions for their losses could be on the horizon reports suggest that some one hundred fifty banks in the country are on the brink of collapse lack of capital is a major problem from but everyone concerned through the central bank maintain strict oversight of the small and medium sized financial institutions but it's more lenient towards the big banks they adopt the principle of too big to fail. vs good principle too big to fail. the central bank traditionally intervenes to prevent the

demise of major banks smaller privately owned financial institutions are more likely to lose their licenses if they're too low on cash. the system of regulation and supervision aims to promote competition strict oversight encourages competition. for bustles that's. the reality on the ground however is that state owned banks are increasingly lending to state owned companies the effect of all this is to dampen economic growth western sanctions which make it hard for russian banks to access international markets have compounded the problem. but the reality is that we're in the midst of a recession it's not western sanctions that are the cause they simply make the situation worse. particularly the countries increasingly shaky financial institutions are causing people to lose faith in the system

a recent survey suggests that one in three russians believe they're best off not parking their money in the bank. some of us said that bush's support has slumped in recent months dick who didn't see anything in his address today which could help him win back the confidence of bullet is. that really is the question i mean these promises economic problem is actually be quite expensive and russia's economy is in rather dire straits as we heard there it's in a recession the loyal price isn't really hurting the russian budget you have to remember this is a spends a plea a petrol state in the local market prices are really something that the russian economy has a hard time dealing with so really the question is how much real world helpful most russians actually feel by the end of the year and that's anyone's guess i mean russia has had a habit of making these promise in the past as well and they haven't necessarily resulted into real world economic change so it's one of situations are going to

have to play the long game and see how much real world economic help actually arrives on the doorsteps of your average everyday russian. and busy added what about a possible successor other any candidates in the wings who might want to replace him. and short answer no long answer also more probably no you have to remember putin's next term will actually go to twenty twenty four and if you believe the rumor mill he has no intention of giving up power in the near future of course the constitution wouldn't allow that but as if you've seen the past with the tricks they pulled with eight years ago anything is possible here in russia so right now the message putin is bringing to the people is stay with me if you want to have a long term economic success like we enjoyed back in the early two thousand is. right on until ten in moscow thank you very much for that. we are now for some sport and for the champions league knockout stages and we will or hoping for

a dramatic clash between two great clubs liverpool and by and munich it was. in the first of a two legged match up. and defense was the ultimate bryna in the cash. liverpool pressured by in munich from the get go they paid off the english site we're creating them more and the better of the chances but liverpool's dominant display lacked the killer touch. with perhaps the best chance of the game but he couldn't quite get his footing right by and absorb all the pressure adopting a more defensive approach it was effective have a pool where unable to break down by ends defense with both sides shouting each other down this one and it in a goal this draw but if the first leg is anything to go by it certainly sets up an exciting return leg in munich. and the other big match of the evening also looked like it would produce a lot of goals but despite barcelona's trendy five shots against lille they could
