german students here because they have a history. of swedish team has become the figurehead of her generation's call for action on the environment gretta tolliver marches in hamburg and jewish parents in france fear for their children's future after a surge in hate crimes we talked with israel's ambassador here in berlin about controversial calls for european jews to emigrate to israel. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program pakistan is about to free an indian pilot captured what his plane was shot down over kashmir we're going now to awad up the border crossing between india and pakistan these are live pictures from looking at now as pakistan gets set to hand over the pilot he is due to be released in an effort to deescalate recent tension. and correspondent michelle giles ball is

joining us from new delhi with the very latest so what war can you tell us about this release which is really any minute now. well over here in india the believe is being monitored very closely the odio expectation was that he would be coming to the walk of water by on four pm it is now five cookies pm here local time and. a lot of course heavy media attention on the border right now only yesterday when simon is on conference and i'm not so focused on that that that can come on. monday repeated is that a gesture of peace that wasn't callous to you he would be flown into delhi or meet across the border reports indicate that he was going to lahore and that is from that is where he would be driving in from the to the border and there have been bridges on buckets on the media. indicating that the convoy is headed to the water

with both parties that are waiting to hear more that is a press briefing back to shortly any minute now by an official from the air force of india so put this in the broader context then of those tensions between these two countries i mean is it fair to say that this is really a gesture now that puts these two firmly on the path toward the escalation. well that is certainly the hope that they really also captain come under our command and is a step towards the escalation not just by the entire context this real escalation started on the fourteenth or a little over two weeks when forty indian soldiers lost security forces but in the last their lives in kashmir put it on my district to do a little claimed by a terror organization called the gesture mohammad which is considered to be pockets on back to pakistan by indian officials now there were

a large goes across the country for action by india that did carry out an editor's strike it would been in less than two weeks from that terror attack and that led retaliation by the pakistani air force as well which is then. being commanded and then ended up being ended up being captured but of course each step of the week there was this tensions have been escalating and this just to be seen as a the escalation however it's also worth noting that india does not have to part not to be acknowledged this gesture as a gesture of peace into the indian government officials have said that this is simply pakistan's sticking to the geneva convention and that any closer response will be held up to the pilot or the indian pilot israelis and again over all the came from the indian fighters that pakistan is not doing enough in get off the five b. a to strike by thing that pakistan is not doing enough to target g.m.

scams to deconstruct the infrastructure off terror on fox money soil of course counters this claim from india that is doing enough and is extending a hand of peace but in get hesitant why is this the ethnic tension to say that this will bring peace would be a long shot ok so i mean that's the line of thinking among those who are in power in those two respective countries but michelle how about the mood really on the ground among the citizens there i mean are they calling for india and pakistan to still maintain action here. well that also push our victory that's been interesting to follow ever since the crash meted act to mass because the doctor put it very simply never called across india from the indian public for border almost for action they were called they would grant you taken out against pakistan and there were calls for india to carry out come kind of go just to try some kind of military action against pakistan when the action did take place there was a lot of. something almost in jingoistic dialogue that was coming through and there

was also be from the fox bunnies by being in the pocket flying public was demanding evaluation as well however when captain ben the pilot the engine pilot got captured we also saw a move towards the public calling for a deescalation the hashtag been no toward sending in these countries we even had little marches and rallies in pakistan itself but people having fine would think these are leaving come on in and then there's actually been a cause but the escalation from both sides because i it seems that both sides the public on both sides also realizes the consequences of an escalation between two nuclear bomb neighbors because we've literally mean a dodgy issue as a very sensitive issue between the two countries for the last seven decades but now is when they both sides are also saying that this is not the way to take this forward border is not the way to take this forward thank you so much for your

reporting on this new message i fall and we have been looking at live pictures there as pakistan is about to free an indian pilot captured when his plane was shot down over kashmir we appreciate your reporting. now here in germany swedish climate activists credit has joined students on strike today in hamburg on her first visit to the country pupils from around the world have joined the teenager's fridays for future movement walking out of classes to call on politicians to take climate action thousands of students took part of the demonstration in the northern german city of ham. and that's where did i miss kate brady is standing by covering these protests for us so i mean we've seen them marching on town hall there in hamburg kate greg is really proving a big draw isn't she. she did indeed prove to be a huge draw today some of the students i spoke to the turnout on the streets earlier today described great as an inspiration as

a role model and the authorities as saying the around full thousand schoolchildren skipped school this morning here in hamburg alone to call for more action against climate change from politicians and great to have so we caught up with her earlier today and she actually praised those german students as well for the huge turnout. it's very big and it's very very comfy here with all these people i'm very proud to stand with joe students here because they have made history become very cute gemini and i think that's very good and i think that it's just that the focus on me as an individual not on the climate itself i think we should focus more on the climate issue because this is not about me doing the crime i said. the focus more on the climate less on her so tell us a little bit more about the broader goals that she hopes to achieve. well gracious self has been striking on going on strike from school every friday since august of

last year and she is demonstrating every week in front of parliament in stockholm and she's calling for more action against climate change and this is now developed into a worldwide movement which is seen thousands of children striking and skipping school every friday to demand action from politicians and they say that this is all about their future and they are the generation that is going to be most affected by the effects of climate change so now they are demanding more action whether that reducing carbon emissions or reducing the use of plastic they have had enough and now they are calling for action so what i mean specifically though i mean what do they want to see though from the policy makers. well specifically here in germany a big issue is the phase out from coal now the german government has vowed to phase out coal by twenty thirty eight but further the school shooter the school students

that i spoke to earlier today that simply isn't soon enough we can have a listen now to some of that of the cons and. there's much to discuss and i want things to change on climate policy and i want it brought to people's attention. about this and what is most important to you in terms of climate policy. i think it's important to stop using coal to produce electricity as soon as possible and to be more aware of climate change like stop using plastic bags and stuff like that. i have because i'm concerned about climate change but seeing greater life is also a special experience in life this is a hero to us i've taken to the streets today just like every friday personally i try to act in a sustainable way you know at travel and i get around town by public transport for on a bicycle. lot of concerns there from those students that took to the streets today and there is

a lot of measures that need to be taken here in germany it's no secret that germany is fully behind in its climate goals it's already confirmed that the goals set for twenty twenty will not be reached so a lot of work to be done here but i think germany and around the world when it comes to tackling climate change kate brady and hamburger thank you. now let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world the u.s. and north korea have given conflicting accounts of why their summit in vietnam broke down president trump said that he had to walk away when north korean leader kim jong un demanded the full lifting of sanctions without committing to dismantling his country's nuclear arsenal north korea insists that it only asked for partial sanctions relief. officials in somalia say that a suicide car bombing by al shabaab militants on a mogadishu hotel has killed twenty nine people police say that eighteen more were injured in the attack a gun battle between al shabaab fighters and somali troops has been raging at the

site of the blast and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that he is the target of a witch hunt the claim comes after justice authorities announced that they will indict him on corruption charges netanyahu could face up to ten years in prison if convicted of bribery and three more fraud and breach of trust. returning now to france where a surgeon anti-semitic violence and hate speech has caused members of the jewish community to fear for their safety french president emanuel mccrone has made a very public show of condemning the crimes which include vandalism of cemeteries online harassment and physical attacks but is he that he is catherine martin's reports many jews living in france increasingly feel under threat. good neighbor move a good look at your door those who i was if i was going to do what they were there for the benefit of us of all there's no to hunt well that's not bad i'll have a lunch alone is preparing for shabat it's friday and tonight he's meeting other

members of his jewish congregation together they are going to read the sabbath prayer is the thirty four year old is an active member of the jewish community here in paris being jewish is important to him but so is being french that's why the increase in violence disturbs him so much to both bodies and cities with their insults vandalism and sometimes even cases of murder for us that means staying aware and alert and always keeping an eye out we wouldn't have to do that if we didn't feel threatened now we're also asking ourselves is france really the right place for us. around half a million jews live in france the third largest community behind israel in the u.s. last year there were more than five hundred anti-semitic offenses here in increase of around seventy five percent. fozzy califano president of the umbrella organization representing france's jewish community is also alarmed he says the

real figures are much higher as not every offense is registered he's most concerned for the young. softballs relief we're noticing that in some regions jewish children are no longer going to public schools being pulled out because they can't have a normal school day they're being insulted and their physical safety can't always be guaranteed system cleary. back in the synagogue young ballerinas are practicing for a big performance the synagogue offers jewish children an afterschool program which parents gladly make use of deaf intel you have is the mother of three sons she tells us one of them has moved to israel because he feels safer being jewish there delfin says she's shocked by the rhetoric she hears she thought it was a thing of the past. or not or this when we hear things like go back home jew it hurts us deeply. you feel threatened to.

call gone. to lunch alone is determined to stay in his homeland france despite the worsening situation experts say that anti-semitism is no longer solely coming from right wing groups but also from radical islam but it rarely has anything to do with religion and jews often meet hostility because they're seen as being part of an elite. todd reason it is the rejection of a community in this case the jewish community that is seen as being privileged as the group with the most influence on the powerful. says he will never conceal the fact that he's jewish despite the dangers leisure make issue i've never hidden the fact that i'm jewish and i won't do that now when i go to the synagogue for sure but i will my kippah and i will continue to do so much so little real. but when it came to the question of whether he would let his own children

wear a cap on public ill and couldn't give us an answer. and a short while ago i was pleased to welcome the israeli ambassador to germany jeremy isaak are off to the studio with violence attacks against jews in germany up by sixty percent last year i asked him how concerned the israeli government is about this first of all thank you for having me on such an important issue we are of course very concerned about a pastor in germany. you see a very complicated past merging with a very interesting presence and hopefully a good future ninety cynicism in very many ways is a friend of our if it passed and today we have to create a new reality so when we see acts of anti semitism words of anti semitism and semitic acts that translates into violence of course we're concerned that we're looking back to a much more horrific past and we're seeing you know one of those acts actually

demonstrated here on the wall behind us i mean this is basically a cemetery where we see swastikas painted on you know it's a scene that has unfortunately not become uncommon here in europe and in condemning this and we know that your country your immigration minister has actually called on jews in france in particular. to immigrate to israel is that really the solution no i think look i think first of all immigrating. israel i was born in england and i went to live in israel and made my own personal decision and every jew should see israel as his homeland should he want to come and i think to deal with anti some things that you need to deal with many things on the ground in europe in places where it exists in this novel mean europe we've seen in acts and in latin america and also in the room in america so i think that we need to think about how we use education how we use to get some break elation of the cyberspace in terms of

how people's messages are proliferating and how anti semitic themes perpetuated in these areas how we bring this to modern systems but the universe is the cultural institute's how we also have by i think one of the most important things is the issue of enforcement when people do these horrific acts of putting swastikas and such holy and sacred places that don't find anyone this is such a horrific thing that we need there needs to be very clear and strict enforcement how do you build those structures because i mean the reality is is that people are moving to israel people who are afraid jews who are afraid and you know the statistics if you just look at them they actually say that anti-semitism is lower in countries with a bigger jewish populations but you know if the population becomes less here in europe i mean that's also an issue isn't it and. look i'm sure the german

government has it said they don't only have a commission it's a fight anti semitism but they also to promote jewish life and again i think that this is you know for us to see jewish life being established also in europe and to flourish is an indication of europe's political health today and the seventh system is an assault on jews it's an assault on israelis but in the end it's also an assault. of the democratic tolerance nature of european societies the whole of also in germany thank you so much for joining us this afternoon to share your views on this ambassador to germany is really bad ambassador to germany germany is a profit for shank you very much. ed mccambridge is here now to talk football and we're talking about women's fall on fact i mean they have a new coach we know the germany squad the world kick cup kicks off in june of course and they were also on the pitch last night so tell us what's going on that's

right sara martina martina of course that is the new germany coach and she is fine tuning her scored ahead of the world cup this summer is less than one hundred days to go now and what better way to prepare for a four four tournament at that than a game against the hosts france so it's a difficult game she took she took us court that france actually had more of the ball they had more shots but germany actually came out on top thanks to a goal from layer schuler in the thirty first minute so an excellent result not actually bought for stock limburg in from switzerland she used to be the switzerland coach so this was a chance for her to show her pedigree in charge of the germany sport and also a chance for the team to lay down a marker ahead of this tournament and show why they might be the team to beat the summer are they the team to beat this summer are they one of the favorites or germany are often you know traditionally one of the powerhouses in international women's football alongside the usa so those two will certainly be among the favorites others of france of course the hosts that we just mentioned and also australia and england have made great strides in women's football over the last few

years but it is true that for second book does have a fantastic array of players from which to choose one of which we actually had the pleasure of catching up with this week and a katherine baerga is hoping to be among the score that travels to france this summer now she's got incredibly inspirational story she was actually diagnosed with cancer in november twenty seven c. and four way back not only onto the football pitch but actually into the germany squad within twelve months so let's take a look at that exclusive d.w. interview now. back in november twenty seventh teen uncut teen bag-o. was in the prime of her career she had won the german bundesliga competed in the champions league and moved abroad to top clubs in france and england but then came a huge setback at age twenty seven she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. well it was a shock. as a footballer you don't think about it because you have to live like a healthy life. every day so it was quite

a shock when it came to fighting the disease it was inspired by her efforts to get into the starting eleven. you have to five every day for. my position i have to try every training session to be on the sunday on the pitch so and as a goalkeeper we have a i don't know why we have a repetition we are crazy people. i wouldn't say i am. yeah i think. from a goalkeeper me through that it's wrong. and it showed what was most remarkable about her recovery was the time line. the diagnosis was on the seventeen november and then on the operation and on the twenty and the. general area.

and off the. one for february i was on the. i played my first f.a. cup game again. it's a story that could become even more special fulfills a dream of playing at a world cup in june. no matter which way you cut it that's a champion in my book i mean what a story what are her chances of. a world cup i think it's worth mentioning that she wasn't actually in the squad to face france yesterday but she's a tremendous goalkeeper she she's a serial winner she won they've been is legal here in germany with potsdam she played the champions league with piers g. she had moved to england and was in the team of the year before she was diagnosed with cancer and now she's playing chelsea you know she's not a first choice goalkeeper at the moment but she can force their way into the number one jersey from the current chelsea goalkeeper and she has every chance of being on the plane this fascinating stuff a lot to look out for and the cambridge sports thank you. and now we're heading to

hamburg for a look at a new exhibition that's as much for the ears as it is for the eyes of the hyper show to highlight how visual art influences music and vice versa this may look like a record store but it's not instead it's an art exhibit for the ears. it features twelve hundred copies of the beatles' white album canadian artist rather for a chunk collector the records for him the most important work in musical history. it's part of the exhibition hyper a journey into art and music about forty artists have turned their favorite songs into installations giving the music scene a face blending sound with the senses. this is not an academic exhibit it's not a difficult conceptual exhibit even though there are many conceptual pieces here

but things here are also very colorful very loud people say cannot turn up a picture like i'll turn up music we're trying to turn up the art here you can start it so that. their headphones throughout and visitors can dive into worlds of sound the unconventional seating arrangements create new perspectives. curator monk's docks is not an art historian but a music journalist his approach to the exhibition has been unique from the start. i created this exhibition in cooperation with the i held interviews and talks with each artist and then everything was very easy they are really eyeball to explain the most complex relationships in just

a few sentences and these explanations are part of the expression even people who do not know anything about os who just like music for example will go in a completely new way into out with the sick submission. from. a journey through genres from indie rock. to eating says it's. just scandalous pop stars. classics such as contacts album. if you visit an exhibition and leave it and suddenly see and hear music and with new eyes then i think that's something you can only dream about when creating

a show but i think because of the collaboration here this one does just that. the exhibition in hamburg. is the first and only of its kind worldwide and to the love affair between art and music. it watching t.v. it is up next in good shape everything you need to keep fit and healthy and remember you can always go to our website. in.
