but 1st in a year when places of worship across the globe seem to have become particular targets of terrorist attacks the ones biggest interfaith assembly is meeting in southern germany the $900.00 representatives from many religions there are debating their responsibilities in society and in politics with a special emphasis on the rule of women in bringing about peace president from palestine my of jim he delivered the keynote at the assembly of religions for peace . and he. is at the assembly in the town of linda iowa 1st to tell us why this interfaith conference is so important. as you've mentioned there are overall over 900 senior religious leaders here today in lindau but the sheer number is not what it is that is not the only reason why it's a big deal in this instant be the most inclusive religious gathering in the world
4:07 pm
and certainly being at the opening ceremony this morning one can see the sheer diversity of the attendees this is on the one hand on the other hand this this assembly will be really has a focus on women and young people so in addition to bringing these very senior religious leaders they have a chance to listen to the young people that are here and listen to the women that are here because these 2 groups are often the 1st a the 1st to be affected when when conflict breaks out at any part of the world one could see that that was really the message of the assembly today as it was there was the opening address by president bush time i have but also there was a into faith prayer by children and basically they pleaded to the world leaders that they that they that they pay attention to the decisions that they're making because at the end of the day it is their generation that has to bear the brunt of these decisions essentially and i add this it seems and also be discussing how to
4:08 pm
protect places of worship at a time when attacks on some science appear to be on the rise before we talk for the let's take a look at how some religious sites have been targeted. disbelief in christ church new zealand. it's march 29000 and a white supremacist has just shot dead 51 people in consecutive attacks at a mosque and an islamic center in the city. what is especially horrific many of the victims were killed or injured while praying the mosque a place of peace turned into sight of slaughter soon after the u.n. secretary. general makes this play i am making the global call clear for the sanctity of all places of worship and the safety of all worshippers who visit reverence sides 1 in a spirit of compassion and told those. people everywhere must be allowed to observe
4:09 pm
and practice their face in peace. yet just several weeks later on easter sunday terrorists carry out attacks in lanka among the targets are christian churches nearly 260 people are killed. churches or other places of worship are not immune from violence on the contrary attacks on religious sites are commonplace all over the world. in october 28th teen a gunman killed 11 people during present to synagogue in pittsburgh pennsylvania it's thought terrorists target congregations to kill as many people as possible but killing people at their place of worship also sends another message that religious communities are at risk even when their remote is supposed to be a place of sanctuary. was. so as we saw places of worship are coming under attack the delegates have many big problems to deal with now what is
4:10 pm
being planned there how to deal with these issues today. well every time i mean almost all of the delegates that i've spoken to today they are aware of the size of the problems that the regions face because of feet at times and it seems that these challenges are being tackled head on in at the conference here and there are so-called peace consultations that are b. go that are going to take place throughout the 4 days of the conference and they bring senior religious leaders from countries that are now in conflict because of religion so one peace consultation will be between me and maher and bangladesh to discuss the crisis and the possible conditions for the return of these refugees and another consultation involves north korea and south korean religious leaders to try and see what can be done to create a nuclear free korean peninsula of course these are very high level talks with very
4:11 pm
senior religious leaders and it remains to be seen how they might translate into action but the workshop but the assembly is also organizing a number of workshops that have to do more with the grassroots level i met women yesterday from the middle east and north africa region who have recently. launched an initiative in jordan a solidarity initiative to empower syrian refugee women so not the so that they wouldn't feel excluded from the host who society so i as you said this is an interfaith gathering what are they collectively hoping to achieve what is the key message that they want to give to the world. i think that for many of the delegates that i've spoken to you know they are kind of they're not happy with the fact that religion is often perceived as a precursor of conflict and violence and they want to come together to try according to them to find the commonalities between the multiple religions that
4:12 pm
we're that are represented here at the assembly but also it's very action oriented so you have a lot of young people here that are attending workshops yesterday i got to attend one for young religious leaders to better it to use social media to send their message but also some of the women that i met yesterday said you know it's important for us especially from the middle east that we have visibility that we come here and that we are able to network with a other women of faith for across the world to see that you know we can make a change with our religion. right i have been at the religion school peace is family in lindau southern germany thank you very much. in a land moccasin as a young woman whose baby was found dead after she gave birth has been clint of mud evelyn a nun this has always maintained her innocence she says she did not know that she was pregnant and lost consciousness during the birth a case has been closely watched would write scripts calling for her acquittal and

4:15 pm
closely watched elections and that's because in both states the far right if he could become the strongest spotty and pushed the established parties the c.d.u. and the s.p.d. into the background now what's giving the e.f.t. campaign extra appeal is code the last major western they must go now with thousands of people employed in the coal industry the position is popular and their vision. it's half past 3 and stephan kubicki is under pressure he needs to order a crane. and it's me again what kind of crane do we need kind of one was it again what. works in a coal fired power plant in the eastern german region of loose asia. lately he's been managing his election campaign qubits key wants to represent the far right alternative for germany party or a.f.d. in brandenburg state parliament. they could not
4:16 pm
see him years ago i never would have thought that i would get into politics so to speak and we this involved i could have gone a fishing period already taken my dog for a walk i could have had a lot easier it's tough to be in the a.f.d. . hostile to you on your point of but the f.d.a. is popular here germany's phase out of coal fired power plants has many people here worried and the a.f.d. backs coal power which is practically the region's only source of income the party thrives on frustration with germany's mainstream parties or. whatever they've done for the last 30 years they make most people sick people don't believe in all the promises being made again just before the election. and. after the collapse of communist east germany many people moved to the west sense
4:17 pm
then the center left social democrats have governed the state of brandenburg. but since the emergence of the a.f.d. many voters deny climate change and use fear mongering to stir up xenophobia. this party that's been tied to the nao nazis could become the most powerful force in the former east only a few people here are willing to comment on the f.t.'s rise in popularity school i was in good hands on where they want to go. we won't know until they're in power but it's on the up and also why then it may be too late a little specific. a.f.d. candidate stephan kubicki who could lure s.p.d. voters to his camp dismisses concerns that his far right party is to extremist when george's issue of what they have something in the f.t. became an example i'd be out fast but i don't think that's an issue or 2 over commish you mean
4:18 pm
a far right trend yes that's always the assumption that there isn't one it's well informed and yet some of its key's own friends and family criticized him when he joined the f.t. . tom you know. my family was divided some other relatives were really surprised and some were horrified they said man you're a decent guy how can you join the effort. even so other parties have been losing ground to the a.f.d. but not the environmentalist greens they've won supporters on the issue of the climate crisis and say they don't know why eastern germans vote for the far right. people are doing well and that's why they're willing to do ridiculous experiments we have 3 percent unemployment and our district is at the top compared with others
4:19 pm
. but when it comes to the f.d.a. they act crazy and take risks. for us he. has nothing to offer and they don't contribute to solving any problems at all he said they just make vulgar complaints about their discontent. hearkens this evening another drawn out complaint. a.f.d. party leader alexander gallons made an announcement he thrives on polarizing communities stephanie also knows how to score points with this crowd. the funniest question was what do i think of the climate activist great to turn back i was taken aback so i answered i drive a v 8 with 388 horse power do i still have to answer this question. but the party chief gets even more applause i did i went down with you ladies and gentlemen if
4:20 pm
the f.d.a. governs random org we will patrol our borders again. when i . leave him dear friends even if that means things get ugly. many voters say gallons unvarnished frankness compliments steffen qubits is more amiable style. talks so much like ordinary people other politicians use more of a parliamentary language but he talks like the workers in the power plant and of course people really like it. the f.d.a. can do what it wants in eastern germany at least it's set to become the party of the people. yes press and done her trunk course is still with a tweet about his reported interest in buying greenland which is a semi autonomous territory of denmark trump tweeted an image of the trump tower
