12:05 pm
investigation group wants to be out of the crackdown is happening instead of doing this is one problem i think that's what it is that in sudan they don't believe in the 2nd and the other side if i am if i am seeing it in political sway as political and i can say it is would bring something to sudan because it is a freedom force and change they have a right to have the old minister and they have also 25 seats in the president. sitting and i think it will bring something into that but this is needed a long long road workable asian forms of law and order ok good talking to you thank you for your insights in that particular situation. soon i assume these you would like to have something of obviously. we turn now to a remarkable story of survival in the run up to the 2nd world war during germany's nazi era jewish parents send their children about $10000.00 of them to safety in

12:07 pm
a friend had phoned this is don't stay at home tonight there's going to be trouble tonight they knew what was going to happen it was all planned it wasn't spontaneous it was pretty all arranged and fortunately my father had not been at home so he wasn't i didn't pick him up or called him so that was. the beginning of the realisation that it's impossible but it's clear both scary then made a decision it was to move the school to england that was they had they had most of the director of school so he started this and i'm still think about it that in 2 months. he organized the 1st group to go to england and he managed it in age weeks is quite incredible i mean forgive all together there were 20 boys we all know each other we weren't in the same cause of school so it wasn't. there was no
12:08 pm
fear. for some it was traumatic some of the there were one or 2 younger ones because of being way from home was difficult they were not with their parents . that was the beginning of our trip to england and i was expecting soon or later to go to america with my parents. and then. time went on and in the last communication had from them was in 1942 my father wrote on the 19th. to me that they were leaving. on the all we knew they were going to the east and no detail. we know now was that they went to extermination camp. but this i didn't find out absolutely years ago.

12:10 pm
almost as if it was yesterday but of course this is something a tragedy that they have had to live with and deal with and even somehow come close to coming to terms with this tragedy for their entire lives and of course some of them have never come to terms with that and many of them have found different ways and many of them. happy to speak about their experience it's an outlet for them to share their experiences and inform people and then in the hope that people can learn from from the mistakes of the past like you i'm british this is a story that we're familiar with in the u.k. remember here in germany well for a long time this hasn't really been on germany's radar it's there are a lot of germans who are completely unaware of these stories of yours and 10000 jewish children were were sent to the u.k. a separation from their parents and as you mentioned many of them were never re-united but the german government decided late last year actually to coincide.
12:11 pm
this 80th anniversary over these children being sent to the u.k. they decided that each of the surviving children who are now mainly in their early ninety's is about a 1000 of them still alive they'll be receiving a one off payment of 2 and a half 1000 your eyes now because this is being well received but understandably absolutely no amount of money or compensation could ever be a reparation in no for what they had to go through and having left germany such a young age how do they see themselves now do they see themselves as german to this insult as british how do they regard jim who from the from the children of say who are now very much adults in the early ninety's they. many of them never reconnected with the german identity many of them of return now of course that i spoke to this week at least most of them had already being to germany since moxy we saw that

12:16 pm
water supply is close to collapse the local schools only have space for 3000 pupils but there are 12000 children many locals worry about their jobs but that. the syrians i've been in many businesses that competed without and i lost my job as a result. i was a majority of our beach disposal schools and clinics already and didn't function properly before the war these problems have grown with the arrival of the refugees when i can said the missionary. who chese says he understands these concerns and is willing to implement the expensive eviction order but he calls it manipulative and aimed at forcing the refugees back to their homes. yet. this increases the pressure on the city council the refugees the ide organizations
12:17 pm
but it doesn't fix any of the problems at all. so far none of the refugees have left they see a persecution in syria but life in this camp will only get harder for them now. and his family have been told to move into a tent made of top hole and plastic electricity and running water have not been connected yet it off as little shelter from the summer heat and the bitterly cold winter. tennis and a new chapter one of sport's biggest rivalries will play out later when roger federer rafa nadal beat in the wimbledon semifinal the 1st wimbledon encounter since 2008 and we've both players now well into their thirty's it could be one of that last a grand slam event. rafa nadal is match up with his great rival will be the 4th time he has met this 1st master at wimbledon.
12:18 pm
roger federer an oscar last month to nadal on paramecium clay the grass is of course a different matter federer has won wimbledon 8 times he also holds a strike to manage over nadal unclassified. the mutual respect is built on more than a decade of direct competition federer has 2 more grand slam titles than the spaniard but nadal has a significantly better head to head record the left hander with a 9 match lead when using their last 10 meetings as a guide this scale is even. arguably the sport's greatest ever rivalry at this hour 40 of roger versus rafael offers a place in the wimbledon final. the fact that federer is now 37 years old means this passion is one to relish. balance famous museum ireland has a new addition a stunning entrance gallery that has drawn the attention of architecture critic
12:19 pm
from around the world german chancellor angela merkel attended the official inauguration of the james seaman gallery this morning 20 years after it was 1st commissioned designed by british architect david chipperfield the entrance gallery connects to the surrounding buildings of museum island situated. in the historic center of the island to 5 world class museums and galleries and combined they treat visitors to masterpieces of history art and architecture 3 and a half 1000000 people visit museum island every year and the new entrants gallery combining as it does ancient with modern that's going to attract even more businesses to the city's cultural collections. all eyes are on architect david chipperfield and the new james seaman gallery the gallery serves as a new entrance point to one of the world's most important repositories of cultural
12:20 pm
treasures the linz museum island chipperfield spent 20 years on the project including giving the galleries neighbor the noise museum or new museum a new lease of life ready ready the main function of the building is to be an orientation for visitors. that come to the need for this collection of buildings known as the museum i've been. on the city point of view this is a new sort of urban corner and this was a very you know what incomplete. corner. and therefore. that this building in the way that we designed it i think is an offer a generous offer. as a piece of city as much as being in there a place to buy tickets and go to the bathroom tickets for all the museums on the island can be purchased here. not in. the more than 10000 square meters space also boasts a $300.00 seat or dettori and. 3 and at
12:21 pm
a museum shop outfits the entirely in french will not get. from the central hub visitors can walk underground directly to the main exhibition hall of the pergamon museum and to the lower level of the noise museum. and we will be able to go right into the noise museum. in the future you also be able to go left into the park so. this will become part of a route. which allows you. to come out into this level go through the program and come back out even on the other level surf there is a sort of you know. interchange. connection. this of rich. foundation pile is a reminder as to why construction costs almost doubled to 134000000 euros we were. there for many. months nearly years immersed in water. to build the
12:22 pm
foundations and water work was worse compared to. the 1st show in the galleries temporary exhibition space will commemorate the building's namesake jewish berlin patron and art collector james cmon. the new gateway to berlin's cultural acropolis is a core component of a master plan for the island devised by david chipperfield and approved by the city in 1909. the main purpose of the gallery is servicing and connecting to beyond this it also gives the island a central focus the jane seeman gallery a dazzling new attraction on the unesco world heritage site museum. it's very depressing isn't it more from the. who is that the doubloons a culture that is so welcome by the feasts magnificent edifice is it true that it began life. or not can yes as many great ideas begin their life on
12:23 pm
a napkin big ideas can be reduced to a simple simple concept and that is the case here just look at it there's 3 elements basically taken from the classic architecture of museum island the broad staircase that comes in 3 flights. the columns the colonnades that sit upon the huge part of the work. that's pedestal and so it's just like. the colonnades the stairs and the plan a very simple iconic structure that comes together in this new complex which is really convincing it's beautiful and just think of the eiffel tower it's also a very simple concept could have been put on a on a matchbook or on the pyramid the pyramid not only in egypt but think of the pyramid in paris. pay the famous architecture's pyramid he had the idea of putting the last pyramid at the end central new entrance of the louvre complex and
12:24 pm
that was the inspiration also for the museum island to have a central iconic place an address an entrance place to for the visit of the bigger physical space that everybody hated the louvre and for a starter but it was always crowded i think people are going to love this this gives birth in a new iconic building death but 20 years from not kin to building germany has a bit of a bad reputation of the move for the new buildings taking too long and coming in over budget what was the problem here well it definitely sounds ridiculous doesn't it. well the commission was given in $1009.00 that was the year when the new master plan for the museum island for the refurbishing and rebuilding of the museum island was publicly announced and the commission was well there is no commission in the 1st in the 1st place there is a competition and the competition took
12:25 pm
a while and then the commission was given to chipperfield architects and chipperfield eventually came up with a concept that didn't please it was hotly debated it was a number of glass boxes very contemporary style but the discussion was that it wouldn't fit on this very precious classical space that is the museum island so he had to come back with a new concept and in 1009 in 2 in 2910 years later he. this new concept that was public yet claimed and then they started building and that there were problems with as we saw with drainage with you know it's next to a can now so there were unforseen problems and in the end it took 20 years but you know it's it's built to last when you see it it's built to last and what is 20 years in the human mankind in the end that's a possibly the book if if the design everybody looked at the design or said no it's a bit rubbish we don't like it it doesn't work but. i wonder how we came to win the
12:26 pm
competition why did they choose david field because chipperfield i think he he when they choose him it was a bit of a risk because he wasn't that same as as he as he is today but he turned out to be the darling of the berlin architects everything he built in berlin like the noise was them which you rebuild for example. buildings that look like they're made for eternity is no spectacle there. chipperfield is not like i would say. i did what they do is spectacular genial architecture which stands for itself but chipperfield wants to build buildings that have a value in material and also in concept but also in use for people and he says i don't care if what a building looks like when it has a meaning if it has a meaning for the people who use it and that is exactly the concept here people
12:27 pm
will use it and they will love it it's a statical and its function drive a trial but clearly you love it fact don't i so i don't know what i have. but that's 5 right to travel because as a thank you you're at home make sure you pop along and take a look for yourself i'll be back at the top of the hour quadriga is next.
