places of worship at a time when attacks on such sites appear to be on the rise. 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 a site of slaughter soon after the u.n. secretary general makes this plea i am making a global call kenya for the sanctity of all places of worship and the safety of all worshippers who visit reverend sides 1 in a spirit of compassion and dollars people everywhere must be allowed to observe and practice their face in peace. yet just several weeks later on easter sunday

terrorists carry out attacks inside lanka among the targets are christian churches nearly 260 people are killed. churches or other places of worship and 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 press or to synagogue in pittsburgh pennsylvania it saw 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 they're remotely supposed to be a place of sanctuary. and for more on the story and we can speak to me again tino's the un high representative for the alliance of civilizations he is participating in the interfaith gathering in lindau mr martinez thank you for

joining us now religious intolerance contributes as we saw in our report to a great deal of violence in the world so how can religion be used to bring people together instead. what i think of this gathering even though is a stream important very timely as you present it in this program we are living in a very very and a stable situation with acceptable behavior you mentioned church attack you mentioned sri lanka and that's the reason the the secretary general downturn in there is monday me to present an auction global plan in other tools have a garden holy for side and at the same time to protect dorothy and today here in the end we have send a very strong call told the international community it can be done you know we are not only 900 leaders religious leader but the leaders really started the peace and

this world peace is recuperate we want really to live in our money in cooperation we are going to establish on your agenda positive agenda is not only got to do to tolerate because toward it because you have no other way to live together but now we have to go a step further to create a world that they have to respect to understand each other and to live together and i think the message that has been not only by my friend the president over republic of germany mr stan maja but that all the participants are very clear no real easy outs and cultural elements have to be taken into account if we want to live in our world of the 21st century and peace are not money mr martinez just briefly if you can is tolerance for other faiths something that religious leaders are focusing on enough. what i think we cover is not enough one of

the i just present to secretary-general the action plan the secretary general to study night and i think we're now into a publicly in the beginning of october in 1 of the proposal is included into our plan is that there we have a really 2 goal to gether not trying to reach as leader not to the political leadership we have to work together is not the question how wrote religious leader but these hold the whole society supernatural site the media we mun media and do not so sun media and the call for doctrine propre church are sure to be implemented all right me get on head want to tina's the un high representative for the alliance of civilizations speaking to us from lindau thank you so much thank you bye. now italy's governing coalition has collapsed after the prime minister announced his resignation today she said he conti's decision came after his far right interior minister matteo salvini withdrew support for the ruling coalition

earlier this month country accused salvini of a carrying out a selfish power play opinion polls suggest that salvini could become prime minister if the country holds snap elections. she is and she is for the italian prime minister as he arrived at the senate and rome for a crucial debate on the government's future was in a dramatic move he resigned from his post bringing it is populist government to a swift end after just 14 months in power comes to accuse interior minister matel of solving any of being the sole architects of the country's seemingly endless political crisis. are joining us for the reasons that lead me to call the decision to spark the government crisis extremely irresponsible. i

must say that the interior minister has shown he is acting out of personal and party interest but it will come to a blasted salvini for breaking up the right wing coalition with the intent of going it alone. going to be i will be so we don't need men with absolute power. but people with a strong sense of responsibility. with we a solid if i was a salvini the leader of italy's writing league party told senators the teacher gets the government crisis because he's not afraid of an early vote before they win why we'll do everything that i did all over again. everything with a great strength of being a free man. it means i'm not afraid of being judged by the italian this

was the. kid on a par with. the judy so there you go yeah i mean his supporters were also out in force chanting elections now elections now. salvini has made clear his bid for power and his popularity is steadily on the rise because of his anti migrants policy this almost macchiavelli employer has plunged italy even deeper into one of its worst political crises in recent years. and let's bring in our correspondent mark sander he's standing by for us in rome hi max good to see you what is all of this nina where do things stand for italy right now we just heard. spoke in the presidential palace call to have to follow the constitutional process in stepping down and had to officially step down with with the president and he

accepted his resignation so now the presidency the next step would be that they would call out the official government traces and the next steps would be in the hand of the president he has a few options that are on the table one would be to hold talks with the leaders of the individual parties and try to form an alternative government which likely or which could be the 5 star movement without the league but with the social democrat party or he could to solve the government install a caretaker government and this will lead to new elections possibly in october and november. so max matteo salvini the interior minister he is taking a gamble here hoping for snap elections do you think he will get that chance. it is very difficult to say at the moment some things have changed so fast the last couple days and we don't know we don't even know what's how going to happen in the next 48 hours or so if snap elections take place it's likely to be in fall and

whether or not people here are going to hold it against material salvini that he actually brought he personally created this crisis without there having been a crisis before actually it's not clear yet if people will hold that against him or if he will still come out as a as powerful and as popular as he expected to in the 1st place well that's the question max with such a tough economy blasting salvaging a speech accusing him of putting himself before the country so how do italians feel about all of us. that's difficult to say i'm worth the pick of holiday season at the moment a lot of the tellings are at the beach and trying to. do more or nicer things than they're following government crisis but those that do probably very read what will what will happen next some people will still stick to.

a lot of are very worried what would happen next for example italy will have to present their budget for 2020 to the e.u. later this year and without a working government this could be very difficult and this could essentially lead to an increase in taxes in the v.a. up to 25 percent and this is something every italian person would would feel in the end all right our correspondent max sander reporting for us in rome thank you very much. well let's get the view from brussels now our bureau chief is standing by for us there hi max so what are the reactions that you've been seeing there. you know brussels is also on summer break right now so we haven't really seen any significant reactions so far and we don't expect the e.u. commission to react in a big way because they usually try to avoid to meddle in theory or affairs especially when they risk giving the table vini who is a declared opponent of the e.u.

commission more fodder but you can expect that they're quietly hoping that there won't be snap elections because snap elections and you you heard talk about those polls would likely bring much vini even more power so they're probably rooting for the italian president to find an alternative solution that does not involve much he was. max what are the consequences of this political instability for the european union and instability is always bad 1st of all economically speaking the e.u. as a whole is on the brink of a recession italy has been in a recession for a long time or at least in a deep a konami slump at the moment and this in certainty this instability as you call it is not helping here on top of that there are important decisions to make in the next months regarding the e.u. budget for example also migration and of course also the italia and budget itself which will be quite difficult so what the e.u. really needs is a functioning italian government and they would prefer an e.u.

friendly functioning italian government that's right max but if there are you elections you touched upon this that what would a prime minister salvini mean for the european union. there's a blueprint for that sumi just look too hungry you have the door brown who is the prime minister of hungary right there and he's been blocking decisions in certain areas for example on migration that's why we still don't have a plan in the european union for the redistribution among countries of migrants that make it to the european union so that's the blueprint as a prime minister would most likely be even more extreme if we can take that from what he has done in the last months in this government coalition but i would like to add right here we are not there yet this is just one option that the italian president had as the moment as next on the room said he can also try to figure out a different coalitions with different majorities for example with the 5 star

movement and the social democrats who would probably also prefer not to having a snap election because the poll numbers for them are not very good right our correspondent max huffman for us in brussels thank you very much. now italian prosecutors are demanding that migrants on board a rescue ship off of lava do the island be allowed to disembark immediately more than 80 migrants are stuck in deteriorating conditions on the vessel open arms now the interior minister had defied a court order allowing them to disembark on tuesday 15 people jumped from the ship and swam to shore others have been evacuated for medical treatment as spain had agreed to take in the migrants and was sending a navy ship to lampedusa it is not clear when migrants will be able to land following the prosecutor's intervention. let's get a round of now some other stories making news around the world turkish police have

used the tongs and water cannon to disperse prop protests in the city of diyarbakir after the ousting of 3 opposition party mayors turkey would place the mayor with us state officials at 3 in 3 major southeastern cities accusing them of a crimes including spreading terrorist propaganda. syrian opposition forces have withdrawn from the strategic town of concha koonin the country's last rebel held province syrian government troops are now set to move northward the town of newman which has been hit by intense airstrikes over the past few days. and pakistan says it will take india to the international court of justice over kashmir it comes after india revoked the special autonomous status in the region since then kashmir officials say thousands of people have been arrested in a crackdown on protests. in less than 2 weeks voters in the german states of saxony and blunden book go to the polls and 2 closely watched

elections the far right a.f.d. is polling strongly and could challenge the established parties the c.d.u. and the s.p.d. now in plan the f.t. has picked up support by making coal of a big topic it is the last major industry in the south of the stay in a region here called loose a shop the f.t. wants to keep coal fired power plants in operation while the c.d.u. the s.p.d. have decided they have to be phased out with thousands of people employed in the coal industry the a.f.d.c. position is popular in the region. it's half past 3 and stephan kubicki is under pressure he needs to order a crane. that's me again what kind of crane do indeed what kind of wind 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 he wants to represent the far right

alternative for germany party or a f.t. in brandenburg state parliament. if you're not seen years ago i never would have thought that i would get into politics so to speak and we this involved i could have gone fishing for it 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. 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

then the center left social democrats have governed the state of brandenburg. but since the emergence of the f.t. 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 rise in popularity school i was in with guns and where they want to go. we won't know until they're in power. then it may be too late now let's listen to the. a.f.d. candidates steffen kubicki who could lure s.p.d. voters to his camp dismisses concerns that his far right party is to extremist. when george says issue what they have something in the f.t. became an acceptable 90 out fast but i don't think that's an issue. you mean

a far right trend yes that's always the assumption that there isn't one it's well informed and yet some of own friends and family criticized him when he joined the f.t. from you you have all your. 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 to. come through and. 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

. but when it comes to the f.d.a. they act crazy and take risks. with us. they d. 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. harkness. this evening another drawn out complaint. a.f.d. party leader alexander galland made an announcement he thrives on polarizing community staff and 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.a. with 388 horsepower do i still have to answer this question. but the party chief

gets even more applause added i'm a downgrade you ladies and gentlemen if the f.d.a. governs brandenburg we will protect our borders again. when. we leave him dear friends even if that means things get ugly many voters say gallons unvarnished frankness compliments steffen kubicki is more amiable style. talk 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 a.f.d. can do what it wants in eastern germany at least it's set to become the party of the people. let's bring in our political correspondent william no a glue cross to more of the story had william the f.t. we have to say it's only been around for 6 years tell us more about how this party

has managed to gain such a foothold in such a short amount of time especially in this region and former east germany. well let's remember the f.t.'s humble beginnings as a rather esoteric euro skeptic party that not a lot of people were behind was quite an ak a party of academics and a party for conservatives who are skeptical of the european union and greater unity and greater openness with borders but then of course 2015 happened more than a 1000000 migrants from outside the european union came into the european union and that was when the f.t. really saw their chance to make a move and started pushing on an anti migrant platform closing the borders harder security more more putting germany 1st and germans for 1st which a lot of people lot of voters responded to who felt that they had been left out or left behind in the last 3 decades since german reunification and we saw that the report like semicolon talking about patrolling borders in the f.t.

really has made security migration one of the biggest issues but is that really one of the biggest issues for voters. at the national level it's certainly true that the f.d.a. really pushes hard on borders on security on keeping migrants out of germany but that kind of sense of security is expressed differently at the local level the state level expressed in the way that polls show voters are what voters find important whether it's infrastructure education good employment opportunities care for older people these are some of the issues that are ranking at the top of polls among voters and the f.t. is responding to that they're also using a lot of coded language and you see if this is what voters are seeing today on placards all around this the state of brown a very which turns around for a limb trance goes around berlin word like then which refers to the reunification calling voting for the f. the afraid lisha resolute cion of peaceful revolution these are all words these are all terms that are strongly associated with the fall of the communist east germany

reunification of west and east germany that the f.t. has been strongly criticized for co-opting this language for their own political purposes all right our political correspondent william noah glue cross thank you so much. to sports in bundesliga news philly could genial has taken to the training pitch at his new club munich for the 1st time continues being touted as the next big thing in bahrain but he's only on loan from barcelona the team that spent a staggering 160000000 euros to get him fans of all sizes withstood the rainy weather to get a glimpse of byron's new number 10 foot lead could see neo the announcement on the club's instagram page was their 1st post to gain over 1000000 likes of the thing and well i think good seno for the loan in other words was a good decision. because he's
