shelter stands from from humanitarian quite nervous but i don't know what to pick them there is no spades and you know a man told our partner that he had to carry his his his mother his aging mother his wonted mother for hours on his shoulders because they didn't have a vehicle and until they found a vehicle it took him it took him a long time so the situation is dire and if people have nothing left and it was humanitarian assistance and so we need to be able to get there no matter what. cohen flush or the welfare programs country director for syria thank you so much in please stay safe. then i'll bring you some of the other stories making news around the world at least 38 people have been injured in multiple plastics at an explosive factory in russia the explosions took place in church since about 400 kilometers east of moscow large parts of the factory buildings were destroyed and the cause of

a keeper he talked to w. about the current situation for jews in germany. because in germany it's always something very special because the holocaust was invented and happened here and of course we have to take a very very close look at the situation and with the description of the reality i wanted to trigger an honest. discussion and like in normal life i think when you want to make a good therapy you 1st have to analyze the situation this is what i did and i'm quite satisfied that it is so broad and all that we have to protect the with life in germany together politics the state and society as well. and joining us now is utopia correspondent tessa votto who is at the site where the berlin rally against the out could march to place to say you were at the mean counter-demonstration today what brought people out what was their motivation. oh

my yeah you can so this is where the counter demonstration ended and mostly people have gone home i just talked to the organizers and they were really happy of how the event of the look they said it was a very friendly atmosphere party atmosphere they said even 802000 people came according to them and i spoke to some of them and that was their motivation to come . here to send a message to all those who think they can wipe out other people's it doesn't matter where in the world or who's fighting whom it's just unacceptable and that's why we're here today to stand up against such views. but for me i find it very odd that they can demonstrate in germany on the streets of berlin of all the places and incite hatred against jews in guns of course the world right now it's a time of populism right wing populists of always been and she jewish and we can see how strong populists are right now across the globe. and we've heard how the

pro palestinian al could march has been very controversial if that's true why wasn't it just benz. that's a very good question because follow him germany we have to keep in mind that the freedom of assembly and the freedom of speech are 2 very important rights for the germans written in the constitution and in the past we've seen authoritarian regimes restricting these rights so the senate had to decide whether to allow or not march and it said it couldn't ban it because the court in the end would decide for the march on the basis of the constitution giving everyone the freedom to assembly but they said very hot restrictions will be put in place and that was the case what were these restrictions tell us more about that. so the restrictions where there wasn't any banning of flags allowed and that overseen clews the israeli flag no hate speech was allowed and nothing that could be insulting for someone and also organizations like hezbollah when not able to be
