climate change joined by a special guest i'm very proud standing with the german students here because they have a history. of swedish team who has become the figurehead of for generations calls for action on the environment totenberg marches in hamburg at jewish parents in france fear for their children's future after a surge in hate crimes you speak with israel's ambassador here in berlin about controversial calls for european jews to immigrate to israel. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program pakistan is about to free an indian pilot captured when his plane was shot down over kashmir we're going now to live pictures coming to us from the border crossing between india and pakistan as pakistan gets set to hand over the pilot he's due to be released in an effort to deescalate nice
2:02 pm
intention. so let's bring in now our correspondent in the mission giles fall who is following these developments from new delhi so what more do we know about the release of this pilot. well sour as of now we are still waiting to hear confirmation offering. my judgment of what of coming true and what we do nor right now is that there is of press briefing that was expected by the internet was almost inaudible there's still all the wagers on to hear more from the press briefing as well so far or that of course will the deal that has been a lot of people all rule calls at the other model meeting for the pilot to be god grackle course and ready for a hero's welcome but so far the leader still on it is believed that he has some reports are saying that he has been handle work to the indian side of the border but so far no confirmation or lies at the waca border between india and bikes and
2:03 pm
we can see now you know dusk has basically fallen in that area the crowds are gathering and you know pakistan says that this is really a gesture of peace how far does this go down the path toward deescalation between india and pakistan. well there is hope that this is a step towards deescalation because the last few weeks have been very tense it all started with a head attack and pushed me a splitter bomb a district on february fourteenth which led to the loss of life of forty indian security forces personnel this also led to a large call for action by india and within two weeks there was an answer which india clean was at a gesture mohammad had a cram them now the gesture moment isn't at all the migration that india says is backed up on a farm and claimed because she needed to attack the very next day off the india as five there was also action in the pakistani side making this last combat between the neighbors in the last decade or so of course tensions were soaring and the fact
2:04 pm
that it will be listening from on less capture with the clone only meant to go for tensions finally been lost in front of the box funny i am the same bond on said that that i did my little utilities to do this was a gesture of ease according to the box on the prime minister and if it's him it is being told that it will at least lead to a deescalation of this in leader of the of the ongoing tension that has been building and amid that tension what to the citizens of these two countries make of all of this what is the mood at the moment. well i thought a lot of the tension has actually been contributed by a public calls for action as i mentioned back when the attack happened in the middle of february a lot of indian media as well as social media was calling for action against the sun there were even rallies out in the streets around the country against pakistan calling for a strike on markets on and when the airstrike did happen there was also reports
2:05 pm
from across the border saying that fox on. those in box on social media will put it allegation however once a month up and then than was captured there was also it rising tension on both sides of the border about the possibilities all four of the hashtags seen all the war started trending on twitter with people from both sides of the border of pakistan and india coming out and saying they do not want war there were even little marches and rallies in pakistan calling for the israelis off the indian wing commander and calling for peace because i it is believed that both sides public will say it's realize what could be the consequences if war broke out between the two nuclear neighbors bashir of course remains the tense topic there is still more simple solution that has been worked out between india and pakistan but it is the immediate threat of war it is the whole of the public human should be deescalated once the wing commander of them that is handed back over the mr giles file thank you so much. well here in germany swedish climate activist
2:06 pm
has joined students on strike today in hamburg on her first visit to the country people from around the world have joined the teenagers fridays for future movement walking out of classes to call on politicians to take climate action thousands of students took part in the demonstration in the northern german city. and that's where do they keep 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 that turned out on the streets earlier today described great as an inspiration and as a role model in no thirty's a say in the of 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 self we caught up with her earlier today and she
2:07 pm
actually praised those german students as well for the huge turnout very big it's very very comfy here with all these people i'm very proud to stand with the german students here because they have made history become very few gemini and i think that's very good i think it's just that the focus on me as to just not on the climate itself i think we should focus more on the climate issue because it's not about me doing exactly the crime asks. us to focus more on the climate less on her so tell us a little bit more about the broader goals that she hopes to achieve. will greater 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 up 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
2:08 pm
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 and so now they are demanding more action whether that's 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 for the school shooting the school students that i spoke to earlier today that simply isn't soon enough we can have a listen now to some of their of their concerns is much to discuss and i want things to change on climate policy and i want it brought to people's attention.
2:09 pm
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 would be a good idea because i'm concerned about climate change but seeing greater life is also a special experience in life to. us and i've taken to the streets today just like every friday personally i try to act in a sustainable way at travel and i get around town by public transport form on a bicycle. and i'm a vegan a lot of concerns are 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 falling 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 both in germany and around the world when it comes to
2:10 pm
tackling climate change kate brady of hamburg thank you. of get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world there have been tsunami alerts in chile after a powerful earthquake struck in neighboring peru the magnitude seven quake hit one of the northern provinces media reports say that the tremor was felt as far away as brazil and bolivia. 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 the 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. russian authorities have ordered the release of nearly one hundred whales held captive in the far east of the country charges have been brought against four companies that have the keeping animals in cramped enclosures dubbed whale prisons by russian media
2:11 pm
a petition to save the whales was signed more than nine hundred thousand times. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said that he is the target of a witch hunt the claim comes after justice authorities announced that they would charge him with corruption and yahoo could face up to ten years of prison if convicted of bribery and three more charges of fraud and breach of trust. we're turning now to france where a surge in anti semitic violence and hate speech has caused members of the jewish community to fear for their safety the french president emanuel micron has made a very public showing of condemning the crimes which include vandalism of cemeteries online harassment and physical attacks but as catherine martin's reports many jews living in france increasingly feel under threat. those who i was or what i did they were there for you benefit of us of all there's no to hunt well that's not. a lunch alone is preparing for shabat it's friday and tonight he's
2:12 pm
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 parties 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. false economy far president of the umbrella organization representing france's jewish community is also alarmed he says the
2:13 pm
real figures are much higher is not every offense is registered he's most concerned for the young. lee is awful sharif we're noticing that in some regions jewish children are no longer going to public schools you know they're 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 we would. like 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 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 it hurts us deeply. you feel threatened to. leave
2:14 pm
all go. 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 jews often meet hostility because they're seen as being part of an elite. todd reason see the host 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. before the launch on them says he will never conceal the fact that he's jewish despite the dangers loser make issues it is really true that 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 and i will continue to do. so little real. but when it came to the question of whether he
2:15 pm
would let his own children wear a cap on public in line couldn't give us an answer. and joining me now we have felix climb the german government commissioner for promoting jewish life and combat in anti-semitism because really anti-semitism is on the rise not only in france as we've seen there but you know also elsewhere here in germany for example violent attacks were up sixty percent last year how concerning is this not only for the jewish community but also for the german government. the very fact that i i have the honor to fill that new position that we have that we need a commission for the combat seeing for combating anti-semitism shows that the german government has understood the problem that we need an institution to the combines all the existing efforts. formally it's a strategy and this is what i'm doing and i don't feel myself being you know the
2:16 pm
excuse for politicians not to do anything anymore but in the country i call on all politicians and all the institutions in germany joining me in the fight against and passive and i want to talk a little more about how you're fighting up a first perhaps we can talk a little bit more about the root causes and cynicism it really doesn't just come out of nowhere i mean it's often you know fueled by societal discontent what factors do you see specifically a behind the surge in this most recent spate of anti-semitism here in europe well anti-semitism has always existed in europe now it's taking the new forms mainly also directed against israel and what's happening there and the palestinian israeli conflict but. one major reason i think for the rise of anti-semitism is the brutalization of our political discourse populist parties and of course the internet of people that would have maybe. a word that did it would not
2:17 pm
dare to say anti-semitic. things in public do so now in the in the internet because they don't feel any contradiction how do you hold them accountable well we have we have introduced no legislation here in germany. if you make the internet firms accountable for. speech on fixed content and that if this nation works quite well it should be ok so perhaps one one step in the right direction on your role is really also as. not only anti semitism commissioner but also promoting jewish life which is something quite interesting explain to us you know how do you plan on doing that because that's perhaps a little bit more more difficult to do now well that part of my job is really make make me a great pleasure and i myself am not jewish but what i try also to to do with it we're there to to make jewish life more visible in germany and to to to show to the german public that jewish life is part of i had diversity part of our german
2:18 pm
history and tradition and it has always existed so there's it's nothing new we have to to to integrate new leo something jewish life has always been part of our history in germany is also so strong because of the contribution of jewish men and women you're calling you're promoting that actually across europe you really want that to grow as an effort what strategies specifically are you proposing well they are i want to. get to interlink all the existing players the jewish communities but also other institutions like. cultural initiatives i. suggested also a jewish guide a tourist a guide for jewish life in germany to make it more visible. guster not make the. guy. suggested so as all the positive. contributions do was did and do for ford german reality and to make it more clear because many
2:19 pm
parts of german cities also although some of our customs are. have jewish traditions and people don't realize and so i do that with jewish. institutions but also with museums we have cultural days. cultural initiatives with all the jewish schools that exist all over the country and so it is a nice spot to show that germany is also so. as a country because we have that part of. what we thank you so much for joining us to tell us about those initiatives against the backdrop of the fact that unfortunately anti-semitism is currently on the rise felix clime german government commissioner for promoting jewish life and combating anti semitism thank you. all now to hamburg for a look at a new exhibition that is as much for the ears as it is for the eyes the hyper show
2:20 pm
aims to highlight how visual art influences music and vice versa this may look like a record storm but it's not instead it's an art exhibit for the years. 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 you can turn up music but we're trying to turn up the you. know it's
2:21 pm
a great. there are 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 us it's i held interviews and talks with each artist and then everything was very easy they are really able to explain the most complex relationships in just a few sentences and these explanations are part of the exhibition but even people who do not know anything about who just like music for example will go in
2:22 pm
a completely new way into out with the sick submission. to the. journey through genres from indie rock. to eighty's kids. to scandalous pop stars. to classics such as contacts album out of. them and if you visit an exhibition and leave it and suddenly see and hear music and with new eyes then i think that something you can only dream about when creating a show but i think because of the collaboration here this one does just that you know. the exhibition in hamburg. is the first and only of its
2:23 pm
kind worldwide and to the love affair between art and music. and mccambridge is here now to talk football and we're talking about women on fact i mean they have a new coach you know the germany squad the world cup kicks off in june of course and they were also on the pitch last night so. that's right sara malting. is the new germany coach and she is fine during her squad ahead of the world cup is less than one hundred days to go now and what better way to prepare for. for autonomy not that a game against the hosts france. is 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 scholer in the thirty first minute so an excellent result not actually caught foster limburg in from switzerland to be the suits and coach so this is a chance for her to show her pedigree in charge of the germany squad and also
2:24 pm
a chance for the teams that lay down a marker ahead of this tournament and show why they might even 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 mention and also australia and england have made great strides in women's football over the last few years but it is true that fostex limburg 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 i could train baerga is hoping to be among the score travels to france this summer now she's got incredibly inch inspirational story she was actually diagnosed with cancer in november twenty seven sane and for a 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 interview now. back in november twenty seventh teen tween burgo was in the prime of her career she had won the german bundesliga
2:25 pm
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. it was a shock because. as a footballer you don't think about it because here i have to live like healthy lives. 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 and as a goalkeeper we have a i don't know why we have a repetition we have crazy people. i wouldn't say i am. yeah i think. from a goalkeeper me through the straw. and it showed what was most remarkable about her
2:26 pm
recovery was the time line. the diagnosis was on the seventeen november and then on the operation. on the twenty first of january. and off the. one for february i was on the fifth 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 making 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 as leader here in germany with potsdam she's
2:27 pm
played the champions league with p.s.g. she then 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 fight their way and she fought 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 mccambridge sports thank you. you're watching g.w. news coming up next g.w. news asia and don't forget you can always go to our website dot com thanks for watching.
