i have to be at the heart of solutions. and i work at the job. this is doable you news live from berlin demonstrators in the german capital show solidarity with their jewish fellow citizens there are opposing pro palestinian demonstration marking the israeli occupation of east jerusalem and protesting against a rise in anti-semitic incidents across germany also coming up another mass shooting

in the united states a disgruntled public utility employee virginia kills 12 people with a handgun and the suspect then dies in a shootout with police. and there's an english invasion of madrid as spurs and liverpool fans flock to the city for tonight's champions league final by fans without tickets have been warned to behave or else for his caressed. i'm married to evanston it's good to have you with us there are 2 rallies taking place in berlin today the so-called al quds march marks the day when israel occupied east jerusalem and is an annual gathering of pro palestinian groups people opposed to it say it provokes anti-semitic incidents which have been rising across germany those people have rallied to show. but their fellow german jewish citizens

. correspondent tessa walter is following both of those rallies and she joins us now from the counter protest as we understand tessa tell us more about this event and what's going on right now. exactly as you said this several demonstrations happening today right behind me you can see the counter demonstration it is countering the al cooks mosque which is an anti semitic mosque the supporters of to see him they said we need to show a clear stance again and she some of his i'm in germany and when i was special history that is a particular and on top of every citizen ones that used to live in peace here and. they have now come to a standstill because there is standing and you see the fences behind me this is

actually what separates them from the outputs monch that will happen on the other side that one substitute so we're just about to wait for them to come up as well. the al quds rallies in the past have become quite notorious for anti israel and he zionist sentiment for burning the israeli flag for showing the flags of hezbollah what's the situation this year. as you mentioned it says exactly what happened in the process have been. things that by the critical anti. israel so the israel have been fond and there is a fear that this will happen again some day baffle police presence as a very strong march hasn't happened yet so we can tell you whether it will happen this time but obviously there is a clear eyed the foolish the police is holding a clear eye on. anyone that is preaching the clear restrictions that have been

given just before saying no flags can be banned has politics cannot be shown and chancing is against israel can also not be cannot be chanted. shots we have to keep in mind obviously this happens out of every particular time you mention incidents against jews have been rising so the supporters say it is even more important to show that they are supporting the jewish community here and it's at a. very presence. if they are whose march is so controversial why hasn't it been banned in berlin. that's a very interesting question because i have a stake in the freedom of assembly and the freedom of speech is something that is very good for the german people it is written in the constitution and in the pockets of various authors her and her dreams have actually limited be surprised that the senate up and then had to make

a decision the treaty it sounds for the jews people finding this. and the freedom of speech the freedom of free assembly and its aside it so you have the assembly to keep it going. and actually something that does the hits a day and take hold for people to join the counter demonstration and this is why so many people have come out as well all right to hold her reporting from berlin thank you. well ahead of the al quds march leading german politicians did urge citizens to help fight anti-semitism the government's anti semitism commissionaire even called on germans across the country to wear a traditional jewish skullcap today in solidarity. met one jewish man here in berlin who wears the skull cap also called a keeper every day but he feels he has to be careful about being seen in public

with it. david pearl wears a skull cap and a prayer tussle as part of everyday life but when he goes outside he puts the tassel in a pocket and he hides the skull cap with a hat through david his wife and children have lived in berlin for 5 years after spending some time in israel there are many things he can't take for granted anymore he's experienced too much hostility for my whole city sometimes is a traffic jam on the street where i live and one time 3 arabic looking men got out of a car and they started spitting at me and harassing me saying you dirty jew who stab you today. his experience is far from unusual police statistics show that the number of anti-semitic crimes in germany rose from 1504 in 2017 to 1799 a year later an increase of nearly 20 percent the overwhelming majority are attributed

to far right perpetrators. for the rise in anti-semitic acts as a result of the coarsening of discourse the readiness to act out in a racist way and against minorities. who hits the spot of movements like biggie. and a large part of the alternative for germany. on. that all adds up to a decisive change. people who used to hold back now say it's time to strike that's the danger. and that's why we have to act decisively and make a clear statement that we want no hate crimes. germany guarantees freedom of religion but for some expressing that religion can be dangerous. you don't feel free you don't feel look then take fish because it belongs to you and you know why of life. it's not just a religious symbol it's also the symbol of

a way of life. that's something david wants to be able to hand down to his own children. my kids it's hardly normal to wear it and to run around in it it's very hard to explain to a 3 year old that you have to cover it up because someone might run up and beat on him or harass him. that david would like to wear his skull cap all the time in public not just on the way into the synagogue. let's get you up to speed now on some of the other stories making news around the world. families of the victims of the river boat tragedy in budapest have arrived to visit the scene at least 7 south korean tourists died when a sightseeing boat sank on the river danube a search is under way to find the 21 people still missing but high water and fast

police i'm not sure when they were noticeably more aggressive than any police i've seen in other countries with football supporters and i think anguish fans as well have had a reputation over the decades for before causing trouble i'm so that's probably in the back of their minds i think what's coming into play he was there and the number of funds that are troubling the tickets and possibly a $100000.00 people there you look at seventy's there is no way to take it so through alcohol into the equation as well and it could be a heady mix hopefully everything goes off peacefully and the police don't feel the need to wait and well yeah they're going to be doing a lot of crowd control i think also to a large extent so it's all right mark let's talk for a moment now about liverpool so their coach you're going club has lost 6 straight finals so just how significant is this game and how much nailbiting is he doing this is most of for him he's tried to play it in interviews he comes across as you started very relaxed but this will be on his mind. it's very strange for them on

the last the last coach to win the been this leader with a club side by in munich yet this man has a reputation as being a loser so it's something of a monkey wants off his back and i think that the only facts of this different really with the previous finals is that we were full of favorites going into this game and those previous finals he's been he's been underdog really even against old spoken and played both sport both spoke of finished higher in the league had the better side then so can his team handle the pressure of being favorites and can he handle that maybe if they do than to more will be talking about him as a winner rather than a loser well as for tottenham they've actually never won a champions league do you think they have a chance to actually do it this time they must have a chance i mean the way they've got to the final is absolutely incredible these crazy away goals victories against manchester city when it looked like they were. and then against as well with the last kick of the ball so i think a lot of stars funs really feel that their names on the trophy this year just because of the way that they've got their spurs used to be kind of

a by word for incompetence a club not being run well but it's really come on leaps and bones on the of coachmen support and i think you've got a chance certainly the thousands of sports fans there traveling to madrid certainly things so well i know you're going to be watching we're going to be watching at home as well this evening should be a very exciting match my corgan from delhi's for it's always great to talk to you likewise thank you. and that's the latest from this hour i've ever seen thanks for watching. 6 her 1st day at school. her 1st occurring less of a minute or as grand the moment arrives. joining a reckoning on her journey back to freedom. in our interactive documentary tour of
