istanbul's fattish district is an area where many syrians live many here for heard that the turkish authorities have been deporting refugees in recent months and most of them are afraid that they could be next. when they started sending people back i was so scared i didn't leave my house. but they already have and there are more restrictions on us now people are being deported back to syria but we can't escape turkey for europe anymore because it's too dangerous a new. group started to. going didn't was there and we syrians used to feel welcome here in rio we learned it's changed a little bit and are only now we feel like unwanted migrants again. turkey has taken in more refugees from syria than any other country more than 3600000 people in the space of

a few years hundreds of thousands live here in istanbul they've set up stores of breast strongs they've tried to build new life while turkish society initially responded with more marketable resilience hospitality is now rapidly wearing it. took the loss is both iraq if more of them come i don't want to live in this neighborhood and in this country anymore. it's me. but i get along very well with most of the syrians here there are some bad people but you get that everywhere you go and i guess we want them to leave as soon as possible we don't want them here anymore because the. turkish president. has recognized this change in public sentiment in the past few weeks he has made repeated promises that millions of syrians will return home to a so-called safe zone that he wants to establish in the north east of syria. but

the government insists the deportations are not taking place and that syrians who are returning are doing so voluntarily. their marriage shattered us disagrees the lawyer is trying to help get off the racial son back from syria mohammed and his family have valid turkish documents and protection status checkers has filed an appeal with turkey's constitutional court. sending a person to a war zone is a serious human rights violation mohammed is not an isolated case result from this is happening to many syrians many have been deported in recent months if. not the lawyers says that many deported syrians attempt to return to turkey making a 2nd escape from their war torn country illegally and often at a high cost paying

a lot of money to smugness and as dangerous as that might sound. i know how meds mother often is clinging to any hope that she might see her son again in safety. volkswagen is headed to court in germany today the carmaker is facing a huge lawsuit over the diesel emissions scandal hundreds of thousands of diesel drivers have teamed up to demand compensation for the v.w. cars that they bought the lawsuit as the 1st of its kind in germany lawmakers paved the way for a class action proceedings after the diesel scandal broke in 2015. watershed moment for germany's legal system and a day v.w. had hoped to avoid 4 years after the emissions scandal broke hundreds of thousands of drivers have joined forces to hold the car giant to account consumer rights groups with to avail of a change in the law which opened the door to u.s.

style class action lawsuits in germany. a region of german consumer associations believes volkswagen deliberately and ethically harmed the most and that compensation must therefore be paid so far the cheating scandal has cost v.w. nearly $10.00 times more in the u.s. than in germany lawsuits of the kind being heard today could regress the balance speaking last week the company's lawyer came out defiant. the heart of it to this day hundreds of thousands of vehicles are still in use by customers for us this means that there is no damage and therefore no reason for compensation clark. monday's hearing comes just a week after german prosecutors charge 3 v.w. executives including current boss hit back with market manipulation accusing them of failing to inform shareholders about the financial impact of the emissions scandal yet another sign that the costs of germany's biggest post-war industrial

scandal are still being kind to. you're watching news still to come on the show 30 years ago a dream came true for thousands of germans fleeing the communist east we look back at the event that changed the course of history. but 1st in austria a former chancellor quits and his conservative people's party are looking to build a coalition government after winning the biggest share of the vote in a general election on sunday quits is set to return to power after his party secured 37 percent of the vote a comfortable majority but not enough to govern alone could serve as chancellor until may when his government collapsed over scandal involving his far right coalition partners of the freedom party they saw a dramatic slump in votes yesterday. and let's go right to health money standing by in vienna hi max you've been speaking to voters there in the capital how are they

reacting to yesterday's election we have to measure the wind of change on the streets of the real wind is pretty strong today but as for the wind of change some people seem to have not just what happened yesterday quite yet now before listening to those sound bites i brought along from the streets of vienna you have to keep in mind that vienna is very different from the countryside so it's really hard to find supporters of the far right freedom party around here in fact we tried we didn't find any that in mind but in the countryside that's where the most fervent supporters of the freedom party are enough said listen it. i'm disappointed about the social democrats results i'd wanted them to do better for me i'm happy about the greens and yes i find what's been happening with populism in austria and europe quite difficult. i had been hoping for the greens of the liberals but thank god in the end the far

right lost on so long. it's alarming it really isn't clean and good and i'm glad the greens are back in parliament but it still doesn't say right with me right off because the right wing populist party is so have so much power and nobody really understands what sebastian courts really did would have us was supposed to equip 3 peat moss totally at it's of course our dick honestly it's great you know exactly what i was hoping for and i'm curious about coalitions and what the coalition talks will bring. or at max that is exactly the next question the focus shifts to coalition building what are sébastien courts as options. he has 3 options if he only wants to build a coalition with one other party and why would he want otherwise the 1st one is a former partner of the far right for the party but they have already all announced after their heavy losses on sunday evening that they want to get back into the opposition and rebuild reboot their party also have more control over what happens

in the party now the 2nd party that could be called is a partner of the social democrats they had their worst result in their history in austria and they are quite far away from the bus and courts when it comes to social policy so many here think that's not very likely either that leaves us with the greens they made huge gains 10 percent and that puts them mathematically speaking in a position to form a coalition with zip codes and experts here think that's the most likely one although something that wouldn't have necessarily been anticipated before the election this is now a real possibility m.x.'s brief if you can how would a potential coalition with the greens actually work. the difficulties don't lie on climate policy or economic policy but on migration for example very different positions about coats was a hardliner when it comes to migration the greens are not and also social policy.

calls wants to slash taxes the greens don't they want to use the money on social policy on climate policy so that's where they would need to align their positions and it won't be easy all right he did he's not been reporting for us from vienna. now 30 years ago thousands of east germans fleeing communism made their way to the czechoslovakia in capital prague now their destination was the west german embassy there they were hoping to use it as a staging point to get to freedom in west germany their gamble paid off and on the 30th of september 1909 they packed on to trains heading west 3 decades later some of them have been retracing their steps. a journey back in time. 30 years ago. i was traveling in a train just like this one. spike.

and it's like reliving it all over again. back then sunder was one of thousands of refugees fleeing east germany they travelled in special trains from prague to the west but to get there they had to pass through east german territory where they feared they'd be arrested. in order to keep memories of those journeys alive some of the people who made those trips then doing it again. they all left east germany that way. after several tense weeks in the west german embassy in prague. in september 1989 east germans were poor ng into the embassy the building was quickly

overwhelmed. many ended up camping out in the embassy grounds it was cold. sandor spent 3 weeks here with his wife and 2 children new arrivals came in over the fence every day. for them. it never stopped raining the cut down board so he didn't have to walk through the mud the. tents wherever they could find the space where the match was the tents were all crowded up against one another. then the fateful moment on the 30th of september west german foreign minister hans dietrich genscher arrived speaking to the refugees from the balcony his announcement that they could leave was drowned out by cheers.

0. 00000. i can't ship promised that everyone in the embassy would be allowed to go to the west sandra was there and heard him. while you're standing right here. but. it's all coming about his little. that same night santa and his family left the embassy and boarded the train to west germany. he thought he was sure it was a very emotional journey of a 50 very difficult ordeal of a day in which i froze. it was a train to freedom. just
