a unpopular extradition but she does not offer her resignation as protesters are demanding so what's next in the territories political crisis. and the former head off a european football michel platini maintains his innocence after being detained by police in france investigators are looking into the awarding of the 2022 world cup soccer tournament to the gulf states. jilly's interior minister says one of the drive train extremism poses a serious danger to society horse see who was reacting to the execution style killing earlier this month after a recent politician. he's spoken out in favor of america's refugee policies they
4:02 pm
were for call the killing an alarm bell directed at or germans he said writing extremism must be forfeit all the means consistent with the rule of law. police have arrested a suspected right wing extremist in the case we have this report feel police arrested the suspect 45 year old stuff from his home early on sunday morning the next day germany's federal prosecutor took over the case after concluding that killing was motivated by right wing extremism he if you ask the suspects previous actions and the views he expressed publicly strongly point to this motive in 1060. some right wing extremists applauded lucas killing on social media prompting investigators to suspect that the perpetrator might come from far right circles up to 5 days to get time i thought these are investigating whether the suspect is part of a terrorist group or network but at present we have no reliable indications of this
4:03 pm
but the federal prosecutor's office has taken up this case because of its particular importance and that in itself shows the dimensions of the murder as a possible political assassinations. stephanie has a criminal record he was previously convicted for his involvement in an attack on a german trade union demonstration he was also linked to an attack on a refugee center in 1903 chancellor angela merkel has welcomed the federal prosecutors initiative. this up this is also if it's right and proper that the federal prosecutor has taken over the investigation and that open questions a cleared up as quickly as possible. prosecutors did not disclose whether they had had an opportunity to question the from the from on the story i'm joined by debbie's chief political correspondent melinda crean jimmie's interior minister said this kind of crime should be taken as a learning fignon what is that supposed to mean well he went on to say that this
4:04 pm
crime and crimes like it are a danger for our entire free society so clearly his message is that society needs to take this incident very very seriously indeed he's also sending the message that of course he has interior minister is doing so and that's partly in response to the fact that german security officials and political officials have in the past been accused of being a blind in the right meaning blind to the risk of political violence from the right and to some degree that certainly would apply to the interior minister himself he went on in his remarks to say we're seeing a brutalization of political discourse we're seeing the decline of ethics and morals in our public language and frankly many people would see a certain irony in that statement because the interior minister in his long drawn
4:05 pm
out battle with chancellor merkel over her open door migration policy used some very harsh language indeed and many would say poured fuel on the fires of xenophobia in germany. said melinda in the posthumous security services had been accused of turning a blind eye to right wing extremism have anything changed. it has changed in the past 6 months the interior ministry has set up a special task force to look into right wing violence it has recently issued a report describing what it sees as a serious threat of political violence on the far right however in the longer term it certainly has i think to some degree relativize right wing violence by equally emphasizing islamist violence although in fact if you look at
4:06 pm
the absolute numbers the fact is there have been a lot more crimes associated with the right wing than with islamist terrorism so i think yes the changes are happening but they're happening slowly and it's been a year to the day that the only surviving member of a racially motivated rightwing finn was convicted for rule in the killings of 10 people on daken funds that they're not and that is not the end of the story actually well yes there are as i said the interior ministry issued a report in this year that says that of $24000.00 people in germany known to be associated with right wing extremist groups up to 50 percent 12000 made be potentially violent and dangerous we've also seen broad sweeps in 13 different federal states just in the month of june that were directed at the perpetrators of hate speech online so there is definitely i think
4:07 pm
a climate and certainly other experts confirm this as well a climate in which there's a sense that there is a rising risk of violence that's not to say that we're going to find out that the particular perpetrator who's accused here the suspect is part of a larger pattern but certainly the risk is there. right melinda cream political correspondent thank you for that analysis. staying in germany and chancellor angela merkel welcomed ukraine's recently elected president will admit vilinsky in berlin but why the military band played the national anthems in very hot weather the german leader seemed unaware shaking at times but when she walked by the guard of honor the trembling seemed to have stopped maggie said later at a press conference that she had some water to drink it was feeling much better the end is in the german capital for discussions on bilateral issues on the minsk peace
4:08 pm
process to resolve ukraine's tensions with russia. let's talk to our correspondents in but in we have a political correspondent emma chairs and in kiev we have a nick carly ellen let me start with you 1st of all we saw this bridges of chance the anger messy not looking very well do we know how she is now. well she suddenly seemed afterwards to feel much better but a scene earlier on today while the 2 national anthems were playing were actually was actually quite impressive reso chancellor angela merkel shaking and she was visibly trying to contain the situation. under the sun is quite warm here in beijing which could explain why she felt and where now according to d.p. a news agency it isn't the 1st time that the german leader suffered from such a health incident and worried and that is why every journalist asked her in the
4:09 pm
press conference after her meeting with about him or as a rescue how she was feeling and here's what she had to say to reassure people. up in switch and i've drunk at least 3 glasses of water which i apparently needed for years so now i'm doing very well. would. so johnson feeling much better that dehydration obviously seems to be the problem nick in kiev what is the significance of ukraine's new president visits to why is he here well i'm rich i think 1st and foremost this was a chance for both of them to take a look at each other and to really get to know each other at this level in politics people have mostly come across each other at some event or other but in the case of the lecky the real outsider someone who when you really entered politics a couple of months ago there had been a meeting previously there was lot of head scratching in berlin when he won that landslide victory in april's election who is this guy is he someone who can do real
4:10 pm
politics beyond electioneering and belong beyond his obvious talent for speaking to voters so that was really 1st and foremost but there are also real matters of points of difference between bill in kiev despite the relationship being very good and there being lots agreement on lots of other issues there is the issue of the pipeline that russia is building to russia something that ukraine says will undermine its energy security that's something that continues to be built despite ukrainian concerns as a let's give very much reach rating the criticism that had come from his predecessor also about that pipeline then there's the issue of sanctions chancellor merkel sticking firm to them but increasingly loud voices in germany now saying it's time to end those sanctions against russia since they haven't been able to force russia to change its behavior i think it's important to remember here these are 2 leaders who really couldn't be much more different in terms of temperament and style and this was really an opportunity for them to show that despite those differences they can work together and try to push for some progress on peace talks
4:11 pm
. and you know what is germany hoping from this visit with. well just as they commonly say in kiev both leaders were getting to know one another but at the press conference after their meeting they talked for about an hour and got america made clear that the western sanctions would only be lifted against russia if ukraine 70 was restored she said quote as long as there is no progress on this front of sanctions it cannot be a lift in the section the sanctions related to crimea can only been lifted even crimea returns to ukraine end quote so she made a very firm very firm statement in favor of ukraine's sovereignty and i think that's what we can take away from today's meeting with the risky route and they can't give a germany is very keen to see progress on the minsk peace process which kenya
4:12 pm
linsky awful on that. well i'm richer it's pretty tough to see where he goes from here he has said that bringing peace to the east of ukraine is his priority stopping ukrainian soldiers dying he said in his big you know girls speech would be his main aim as leader. but to be totally honest about this he can bring new faces to the table he can bring in new negotiators he can try and change the tone that really has seen these negotiations run into into a basically into a cul de sac in the last few years with barely any progress made he's talked about confidence building moves like small exchanges of prisoners from both sides to really improve the tone between the 2 sides but beyond that this is not something strictly that's really in his hands to give a lot of this will be decided in the kremlin and the kremlin support for those pro russian separatists that are facing off against the ukrainian government and beyond that even if the let's he wants to make big concessions to the other side it's not clear that ukrainian society will let him do that hundreds of thousands of people
4:13 pm
a force in that conflict thousands have died and there are a lot of people who are very vocal here who will be watching and won't be allowing him to do anything which they think endangers ukraine's interests right. shaz thank you both very much for your perspectives. let me now being yukked it with some other stories making news around the blood the top court has ruled out a scheme germany wanted to introduce for the use of its autobahns or highways violates anti discrimination laws it was due to come into effect next year and would have applied to nonresidents out of bonn austria had filed a lawsuit to stop the toad's. the un is calling for an independent probe into the sudden death of former egyptian president mohamed morsi that's a day after he suffered a fatal heart attack while in a court in cairo morsi had been in prison since 2013 after being ousted by the

4:15 pm
of the responsibility. this has led to controversies this pillows and societies in society. for this i offer my most sincere apology so all people of hong kong. it was an unusually hot issue say openly express their support to the chief executive and hopes. to move on as some probation politician and observers say even. this is already their bottom line after hong kong government it's not likely they can they can make i further concessions but beyond that so there is no sign so far for her to end her career right now but beyond that i was it will be very difficult for her to govern the society in the coming 3 years regarding she has lots of the off.
