logically ethical but they are far along the fear that their life. this is the w.'s line from berlin tonight the green wave in german politics fresh off a strong showing in european union elections a new survey shows that the environmental screens would come 1st in a german election also coming up tonight remembering d.-day and the moment when allied troops stormed the beaches of normandy to free europe from nazi occupation

this president will drop joins his french counterpart to pay respect to surviving veterans and those who died in normandy 75 years ago today also coming up tonight the worst serial killer in modern german history sentenced to life in prison a german court convicts former hospital nurse. appealing to 85 patients who were in his care over a 5 year period it was a case that shocked the country. i'm bring to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin tonight here in germany with surprising numbers for the country's environmentalist green party a new survey indicating that if germany were to hold a general election knell it would show a truly as. storch green result for the very 1st time the greens would come in 1st

with 26 percent of the vote german chancellor angela merkel's conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. bloc with then drop to 2nd place with 25 percent then comes the right wing populist a.f.d. party with 13 percent merkel's current coalition partner the center left social democrats there they would drop to 4th place with only 12 percent and the business friendly f.t.p. would get 8 percent the socialist left party coming in last and 7 percent. of the green party here in germany has already celebrated the stunning result in the recent european parliamentary elections they surged to 2nd place winning over 20 percent of the vote voters abandon the major parties over concerns about 5 to change the party has also done well in recent state elections here in germany. these are few big

changes going on in the political landscape here in germany to talk about that i'm joined by our political correspondent on your show live here at the big table. i mean it's is a big deal isn't it if elections were to be held next sunday the green party would come out on top if and he said this truly is a historic result of the greens have been on the rise for quite some time for the last 2 years and they were reckoned to come out really strong in the european elections to 2 weeks ago which they indeed did but how strong they were this came as a surprise they profited hugely from people's concerns about it climate change and environmental issues and the neglect of these topics by the other posses the greens have been borne out of this and i remember movement and peace movement and for ages they have been to topic posse and it's. them very very long to

establish a stance on other political fields but now people see them as the party this is their core competence so the voters go for the over original and they vote green and not one of the other parties as you said earlier in the european parliamentary elections a couple of weeks ago the greens also did very well and you've got this survey coming out tonight what does this mean for the german chancellor angela merkel and her coalition government the going gets tough. that the grand coalition this is an alliance which hasn't been wanted it from the beginning it was born out of out of need to know of a coalition was possible so when they signed the coalition agreement they said they would really evaluate the governmental work halfway through and this would be this harvest and everybody thought that they would the social democrats would drop out

of the coalition that the c.d.u. would try to install angle on maca successor i'm going to come to them and have the k.k. right at the chancellery but now for them it's really really difficult they would risk to lose seats in parliament they would wish to lose power and i can't imagine that with these polls they were going to snap elections so they're going to try to hold on if they can until the end of this and try to figure out how to handle the situation i mean if we were to have early elections who would become germany's chancellor this is a very interesting question for 2 reasons 1st which coalition would be possible there is no majority on the left side of the green social democrats and the left party so the only coalition which would. work that this would be the greens together with the conservative c.d.u. but this would be a coalition which would allow. credibility. c.d.u.

stands for coal against carbon tax against mental so how could the greens possibly go together with this hottie and the 2nd reason is that the greens have a long tradition of leadership so who would provide who would be the chancellor they've got the. 2 figures on top they they've got well that's how big who's hugely. popular they have babcock how would they handle it what they swapped off the 2 years what they. would have to do would be forced to come up with a solution if those early elections were to come to a political correspondent on your career there with those new numbers on you think you. our other big story today on this day 75 years ago the biggest invasion force of its kind in history began the assault that would leave less than

a year later to the total collapse of nazi rule here in europe but the day's victory came at a heavy price thousands of allied troops lost their lives fighting to break through nazi defenses on the beaches of normandy the leaders of britain france and the u.s. today paid tribute to those who died there along with the surviving veterans of that historic back. a long piper marked the moment 75 years ago when british troops began coming ashore on the normandy coast. some of those who fought in and survived to d.-day returned to take part in the anniversary events. who would like to do it again. but. more than 150000 allied troops stormed the beaches of nazi occupied france in 1904 in what remains the biggest ever naval

invasion thousands were killed within hours. u.s. president donald trump and french president emmanuel maicon looked out over one of the beaches captured by american soldiers as planes flew a red white and blue tribute in the sky overhead. in their speeches to veterans the 2 leaders honored the men whose courage ultimately liberated france and europe from nazi dictatorship. today we remember those who fell and we honor all who fought right here in normandy. they won back this ground for civilization to more than 170 veterans some of the 2nd world war who join us today you are among the very greatest americans. who will ever live we know what we. do you. on

behalf of my nation. i just want to say thank you. absent. for many of the elderly veterans this year's d.-day anniversary will be their last visit to the battlefields of their youth but the rows of crosses will remain a reminder to future generations of the allies joint sacrifice to defeat evil. here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world sudan's pro-democracy demonstrators say they are determined to continue their campaign of civil disobedience until the ruling military council. it comes as the african union that is suspending sudan's participation in all activities until a civilian government is installed dozens of people have been killed in 3 days of clashes between the military and those protesters in hong kong more than a 1000 warriors have taken part in

a silent march to protest against changes to extradition laws make it easier for. people to other jurisdictions including china protesting. undermine hong kong's independent judicial system. the european drugs agency has warned that the continent is being inundated with unprecedented amounts of cocaine its latest report states almost one in 3 european adults have tried illegal drugs and that consumption is rising authorities seized a record. according to that. you're watching news from berlin in denmark 41 year old fredrickson is poised to become the country's youngest ever prime minister will take a closer look at her party's resolving election victory and the. task of forming a new government. back here in germany your court has sentenced one of the world's

most prolific serial killers to wife in prison former hospital nurse kneels hurdle has been found guilty of killing 85 patients in his career prosecutors say he deliberately induced cardiac arrest in patients so that he could then resuscitate them and impress his colleagues but many of her goals interventions failed and patients died who had already been serving a life sentence for 2 previous murder convictions for his killing spree that killing spree in weston 5 years 2000 to 2005. or the w. correspondence has been reporting from the trial in the city of albany bag she met a former colleague of mills the girl who worked with him in one of the hospitals where he murdered dozens of patients. frank the man still reflects on the time working alongside. the former nurse was his colleague for 2 years at the main clinic and i can book now someone quickly became aware that there was something

wrong with her there. my big cloud of it was obvious he wanted to be the action hero who saved people but you sometimes get that people who work in rescue services who are under the illusion that they're the big heroes hugel is one of those. who are not afforded. the man only became suspicious after around a year and a half that's when he started to notice that patients would suffer cardiac arrests more often when who was on duty. that he's a patient 1st we just thought it was bad luck until a colleague said so death to go on duty again. despite rumors circulating neither locks the minority of his colleagues reported to the police he did tell us a period at the when he noticed that a patient had elevated levels of potassium in his blood but there was no consequences. it was later discovered that who would inject patients with potassium in order to bring on cardiac arrests so that he could reanimated them and appears

the great life saving hero again and again and then on a single weekend on who could shift there were 14 resuscitations and 5 deaths and yet who will simply transfer to another ward and the clinic like all the reason why a clinic director a chief physician or a nursing director stu silent is to prevent the reputational damage to the clinic because we all know that that would mean fewer patients coming into our care in the belief. it took several further resuscitations in the new world for the head of the clinic to decide that google had to go now the nurse alleged to have killed 36 people by this point he was dismissed from his post with glowing references he then applied for a job at a clinic in dam and hawes just a few kilometers away we continued to murder unabated 64 more patients were to die it who could send their. grandfather was one of his victims he underwent a gastrointestinal operation shortly before he was to be released he suddenly

suffered a cardiac arrest so. my grandfather was resuscitated by the murderer and then 2 or 3 days later the same thing happened again. so he was practically murdered tries. warble. in 2005 who was finally caught red handed as he was about to administer an injection to a patient it was the end of the killing spree unprecedented in germany a nurse who doesn't help sick people but secretly murders them possibly in more than $100.00 cases. it's hundreds often const but in reaching these verdicts we have achieved as much transparency as is legally possible the hope now is that many of the relatives find peace. still the legal proceedings have not yet been completed fellow nurses doctors supervisors who among them was complicit in nias his crimes then the stations are ongoing. and denmark the leader of the social democrats has been tasked with forming

a new government after her party emerged as the winners of national elections mehta fredrickson will need the support of other parties in a left wing bloc that defeated the center right government and prompted the prime minister's resignation denmark is the 3rd nordic country within a year to elect a leftist government following sweden and finland. its here at copenhagen zoo malian born palace were denmark's queen monday to receive the representatives of the country's political parties to discuss the formation of a new government though he conceded defeat tradition dictated the country's prime minister was 1st in line i think it's clear mehta frederickson will be given the task of putting together a new administration. frederickson social democrats top the polls after a campaign that focused on migration the climate crisis and the welfare state in recent years to social democrats have adopted a much tougher line on immigration and pledge to increase public spending. at

them that danes have decided they want to new majority and want to move in a different direction. frederickson will need the support of other parties with similar ideas on environmental and social policy. now you got to see stay here he always said that we're open to negotiation with metra federal and reaching agreements that will take denmark in a different direction for. the king. but despite a willingness to work together there are differences most notably over migration policy. well while countries such as denmark tighten their borders to migrants uganda is welcoming more people than ever approximately 1000000 refugees mostly from south sudan now call uganda home united nations is praise the country for having one of the most progressive and generous refugee policies in the world.

symbiosis sims teach by stage it is for any cause and traits as she makes a new dress surely recently was able to train as a sim stress as part of a youth and refugee project how work destructs from a terrible memories in 2016 she fled with her family from what south sudan to uganda. on the way of the rebels came they took up property to watch it us in different ways and beat us. little bones it's like millions of others from south sudan as well as rwanda or the d.r. see edith and her family found refuge in uganda there are 48 here functions differently compared to the rest of the world people are not just confined to a comp like in kenya refugees who arrived here immediately given a work permit and the land which is provided by the communities and their new neighbors who hand over parts of their land they also receive monthly benefits we have clashed on foot as well because when we give them for get that is restricted

to the 4 that is giving them but when you give them cash they have the option to buy and supplement what about that debt that at least so it's option. ugandans have a strong willingness to give to those in need for 20 years they also suffered during the civil war the people here know what it means to be forced out of their homes they also benefit from international aid which can be used to build hospitals or schools but of course there are still challenges. as a young school we have enormous talent is one of it is in a frost practice like the classrooms are not and now we don't have science a laboratory we don't have a library though we have the books but we haven't know where to put them there are so that it has moved from 5 distance to gambia so there are no stuff what does then also the students especially the girl move from far distance to come and learn in the school no but if you must school is an edge of money district in the north of

the country 400000 people live here half of them are a foodies some of whom arrived here 50 years ago most are from south sudan where the most recent civil war broke out in 2030 leading talk ongoing conflict between rival factions and ethnic tensions have only existed in the region titers juggle the refugee discover suffer much money district is happy that the refugees were able to find a new place to call home in uganda he believes it benefits the locals to the presence of the so many us mindy's so many people have been employed not not not necessarily from a disability but it is where and we pay a tax when you look at the infrastructure development we have constructed access what odds in that if it is a tremendous well constructed discourse the construct that hits the centers. but there are also negative aspects resources are gradually dwindling including wood supplies in general 29000 alone 6000 more

a few days there have been uganda but the stuff in country wants to keep its borders open and can only manage this influx with the help of it money list for the time being. policies continue to be put into action you just saw the very food use will be self-sufficient lexeme stress it is funny. the country is still reeling from the murder of a popular politician in the state of. halter lipka was shot dead outside his home last week it he was a leading advocate for refugees during the country's 2015 migrant crisis a stance that brought him death threats now disturbing comments gloating about his murder have surfaced online a reporter's troubled lucas' hometown of islam to find out more. it was a shock to the had and very close friends here in front of his house c.d.u.

politician by to look was found by a family member sunday morning since his death no clues have a much talk about the perpetrator or the pup the traders and habitants of his home village east has shocked. it's a very difficult situation for the town and for me to. he had his own views views that you could run up against that you could debate with him. at a community meeting in 2015 look because stood up for refugees telling those who disagree that. you have to stand up for these values whoever doesn't represent them can leave the country at any point. audience members from the far right where i would very much by his words. look even received death threats afterwards now in the days after the killing disturbing commons appeared on line you don't

have to be sad it's a reason to be happy you get what you deserve he was a trader of the people. many people are shocked by the commons german president franco touched on my our condemns the hateful speech the monkey arctura the indians of the way that some individuals on social media are attacking his death taking satisfaction from it and applauding it it's simply cynical tasteless revolting and offensive in every way. they are on a german t.v. show the police issued an appeal for everyone with information to come forward with the president they are hoping to find witnesses who went to a fair fight next to look because home the evening of the crime. we're obviously hoping to receive information that can help us solve the crime it's really a unique situation we're talking about a type of crime scene that hasn't been seen and has for

a long time for. the killing of the outer loop has left many of the people here in his home village in shock a german politician shot bet on his own terrorists to some it seems like a planned execution. the case raises many questions which will hopefully be answered soon by the police. are to the french open the men's quarterfinal matches were finally played after rain postponed them for a day and the results mean world number one the fact djokovic will face still many team in the semifinals djokovic defeated alexander ze'ev in 3 straight sets the victory gets djokovic one step closer to securing his 2nd french open title the earlier world number 4 a dominant team who lost in last year's 5 made one work. with rafael nadal and roger federer also in the mix the semifinals will feature the top rate. for the women's football world cup gets underway on friday

france is hosting it but the final on july 7th will take place not in leone but instead or not in paris rather but instead in the city of leone it's a city that has become central to the development of the women's game in the country the hosts are among the favorites to follow their male counterparts and lift the trophy if they do leon will have played a major role. it's here that the world champions will be crowned but leon's park olympique is a stadium that's already seen its fair share of glory olympique leon's women's team play some of its games here a side whose dominance in europe is near total they've won the last 13 french league titles and 4 champions league in a row so with the world cup coming to france leone was the natural choice to host the biggest game of all. is known in europe and around the world for this team olympique leonis it was obvious that the final would take place there.

leon success are as much to the backing of club president michel all or he's provided the funds and supports that have allowed the club to bring in stars like ballon d'or winner are the hagar bag and germany's jennifer merritt jan. and leon players also make up the spine of the french team including club captain wendy when our. new stadium very well and when we're on the pitch and see the fans jumping for us it's a boost. it's an additional motivation. for superman their tickets for the final sold out within 30 minutes of going on sale the level of support athletes received today is a far cry from the days when the vice president of the french football federation bridgette on recursion was playing football. when i wanted to join

a team at age 5 they said they didn't take girls we didn't exist in football and he's only. as for the local fans they have high expectations for the home world cup . buys and i think they're doing everything to push women sports and football we expect a lot of the french team but also it was good for us they won their warm up games and i think they win the world cup they have huge potential. difference still no false where in france our teams often play good championships and good tournaments when they're at home i think it's in the bag. and for bridgette henrique as success for the french team would mean much more than just a trophy. because i want the title would feel like the end of our journey to get recognition. front face plenty of tough opposition in the bid to win the world cup on home soil but if they do manage to lift the trophy they couldn't be

a better place for them to do it than. a 1st or break i'll be back to take you through the day and d.-day but 1st the best images from today's d.-day commemorations ceremonies in france will be right but. quick.
