taking place against this backdrop of rising problems of anti-semitism in germany if this march is so controversial why wasn't it banned. we have to keep in mind that in germany the freedom of assembly and the freedom of speech these are written in our constitution and they're very deeds to the population they have been authoritarian regimes in the past that have restricted these rights in the past and now they're obviously the organizers of the i could smash could in front of a court say that they were lying on these rides of freedom of assembly so the senate of the land who had to decide on whether or not this demonstration would take place in front of a court it would not make its case and therefore the demonstration would happen and it is happening today with very clear restrictions tell us a little bit more about what those restrictions are. so they cannot

ban they cannot ban any flags that oversee imputes they use rarely flag no bene's either they cannot be any hate speech or any speech that could be expressing some sort of negative emotions on the other side that could. raise the tensions even more and also hezbollah cannot be publicly supported in the march today tens of alter out on the streets of berlin following these competing rallies for us thank you so much. and i will bring you up to date on some of the other stories making news around the world at least 38 people have been injured in blasts at explosive factories in russia the explosions took place about 400 kilometers east of moscow large parts of the factory buildings were destroyed the cause of the blast is so far unknown. a top mexican official says his government wants you to
