to you have a go so let's start with you i mean we have to say it was not exactly the most spectacular mance but i assume liverpool fans won't care too much about that what was the atmosphere like in madrid. well many of the fans here didn't even have a ticket and they came down to liverpool from liverpool down here but it wasn't only the liberal fans they came down to madrid from all over the world for the spear with white big spectacle to be on a lot of the fans have been to have a ticket some of them didn't have a place to stay so they just partied and drank the night away here in madrid. well mark for liverpool coach you're going club it must of been really an exciting victory he had lost his previous 2 european finals this man must be on cloud 9 he's going to be absolutely delighted actually lost his last 2 european finals he lost his last 6 consecutive finals in all competitions so he was delighted let's hear

what he had to say i don't want to explain why we wanted i only want to enjoy that we want and all the rest is not important it's for all the people around the world in the stadium with. knowledge celebrating like crazy and. liverpool i would celebrate together we would have a sensational night. all right well he seems kind of calm for somebody who won this final but you can see the smile on his face how important is this when for your can so i think it was more animated before the game wasn't massively important when this is crucial he had because of these final losses these 6 consecutive final losses that you had he was actually being labeled a loser which was very unfair this is a man that's one to be in this league titles he's won the german cup he's got to he said he was the the world record holder he thinks for what inside the finals so this was a hugely important win for him it gets that monkey off his back now he's

a when are he's won the champions league the biggest prize in europe and he's joined the pantheon of liverpool managers a really exclusive club the likes of bob paisley roughed up a need to as you have one that won the european cup with the champions league so it's really it's all about his legacy and it looks like maybe liverpool can the call in a bit with with in the bag no head go ahead of the match there were quite a few worries that there be clashes between spanish police and the english fans how peacefully did things go. well it went quite well to be honest it was very peaceful in the sense that we didn't see much happening between the fans there with what people also between fans there were no clashes for the most part we did see however some of the police getting a bit rowdy when we were close to the stadium but it's understandable in the sense that they need to keep that kind of security so for the most part it was a party here in the. well mark needless to say for the other side for tottenham

fans of course it was quite a disappointing evening what does defeat mean for tottenham we talked about the possible possibility of a legacy for liverpool and this is really what's been taken from talking them because i think a lot of the feeling among their fans was that this was a once in a generation opportunity to get to the champions league final they squeaked through the russians they had a bit of luck on the way away goals victories over some much just the city and they felt if they won this they could really maybe kick on. now the problem is as well there's a question mark over the manager might actually push the tino he's really really turned the club right and as we said yesterday if there were really a byword for incompetence in the english game. he's completely shocked at the perception but he indicated before the game that he might leave should they lose so that the problem for talking fans is really coming on to him. my cardigan from the sports here with me in the studio and in madrid flores thank you so much to both of

you. and now we have some breaking news coming in here in germany the leader of the social democrats under analysis has announced she's stepping down the party is the junior partner in chester on the americans governing coalition her resignation comes after disappointing results for her party in recent european parliamentary elections the s.p.d. has also seen a significant drop in popularity in germany bringing more analysis on this story throughout the day. all right we'd like to get you up to speed now on some of the other stories making news around the world britain's border patrol has intercepted 74 migrants trying to cross the english channel into britain they were aboard 8 vessels 2 further boats were stopped by french authorities authorities say a criminal investigation is underway and they're still trying to determine the

nationalities of the migrants. at least 79 people have been injured in multiple blasts that have munitions factory in russia the curtain judge and about 400 kilometers east of moscow factories and many other buildings in the vicinity were badly damaged the cause of the blast is so far unknown. 2 opposing rallies on israel faced off in berlin on saturday the annual al quds day protest which poses israeli control of jerusalem was met by hundreds of pro israel demonstrators just meters away the rallies come after a debate has grown in recent weeks over anti semitic incidents in germany the reporter kate brady was at the demonstrations and has the. same procedure as every year since the 1980 s. could stay has been marked in germany with an israel demonstration. but critics deem it as semitic with reports of far right extremists radical islamic groups and

holocaust deniers also among the crowd participants see it differently. we're not protesting against jews or judaism but against israel and against zionism homebodies here why am i here because i think it's from the palestine it's gone it's our rights to defend this time this is also outraged on policy let's look at that. in response to the annual protest germany's anti semitism commission a call for all germans to take to the streets in solidarity with jews and israel some protestors jews and non jews want to keep the. protest was made all the most significant after a reported increase in anti-semitic crimes. damaged by a mistake and all this this against the jews since they are no longer targeted i think it's a disgrace for germany it's one we want to make it clear statement against stay every year as they march through berlin and spread their anti-semitic and empty

zionist slogans. so members of the jewish community was skeptical of the pro israel protest in general supporting palestinian rights and criticizing the state of israel and holding the state of israel accountable for its actions is in no way anticipate eric and i'm actually quite offended when. people make that conflation between anti-semitism and criticism of israel these demonstrations hey remember just a small part of a much wider and much more complicated discussion and debate going on in germany right now concerning the issue of the seventy's and and how it should best be tackled not an easy task given the tangled complicated web not only of culture and religion but of history and international politics. well joining me now is benjamin steinitz he's projects director of the research and information department on anti-semitism here in berlin benjamin welcome to our program so the

al quds march has been held in berlin for more than 20 years now is it inherently anti semitic we have to consider the main objective of the could stay as it was called old. leader is that elation of israel as in its current context as a jewish state. surely disc. of be expressed from the organizers of the could stay in that openness but individual. olds did showered yesterday jews then as we will defeat you and god as our witness they were very very aggressive sayings by individuals their regulations put in place by the police or by to balance state where really timed tamed down the organizers and they were very

much looking forward to keep this thing silent but as specially conspirator ational a series of very much present also within the organizing team and also the drawer if occasion of its by terror organizations well this year's march in berlin in particular garnered quite a lot of attention amid a sharp increase in the number of anti semitic offenses that have been reported in germany we even had german governments anti semitism commissionaire recently caution jews against wearing their traditional skull caps they keep in public are jews in germany unsafe. i think this is a bit more complex year our department and we have. led to several surveys in various regions in germany and what we found out disaster base

among jews living in germany where we found out that there's a constant appearance of anti-semitism in the daily routine of jews in germany that means there's a constant negotiation they are forced into to negotiate their own jewish identity on the one hand and avoiding anti-semitism on the other hand so many strategies to . not show divisibility not go to certain areas just to avoid anti-semitism from our own reports and bourbon last year 73 visible jews were affected by anti-semitism in the city of button it means being identified with just or with the market and so there is threat and this is constantly felt in the daily experiences of jews in germany as well your organization runs
