1:06 am
the happiness be taken from life but 1st the pain must be put behind them. go straight to her now then where would you join the d w corresponding to kate's abrading welcome kate's what's going on now. well things are winding down here now phil but many people have been out again today paying their respects to the victims of the shooting on wednesday night and you might be able to see me see behind me sorry the candles that have been of relates of milk flowers have been laid out today and around 200 people met earlier in the day to you on the marketplace where they joined hands in a sign of solidarity against far right extreme extremism and just behind me as well a couple of hours ago locals and friends of many of the victims gathered here to hold a minute's silence to say today really has been yet another day to try and begin to process the shock that's been left here and also mourn the victims who lost their
1:07 am
lives on wednesday i what have people been telling to process the show. well moving on as they try to be given to process this show because you say many of them described to me today particularly people of color and just send people who have got turkish graham herons or turkish themselves for example have said how they found it quite surreal today is the reality begins to kick in of what happened and many of them said to me it could have been me it could have been here in this shop that i own it could have been in this barber shop that i go to every day and many people are asking will there be another attack of course they're all being a lot of questions asked of politicians right now and people here want to know answers and they also want to see more action taken against far right extremism there's a lot of for sure ation being voiced here in the moment particularly against politicians here the politicians that have responded as politicians do with condolences
1:08 am
promises of auction what is there been say. well already yes there's a german present front by this time i was being heckled as he arrived as people were demanding what are you going to do and we heard today some some words at least of intentions to take more action from interior minister horse their office saying that more police will be brought to the streets of germany than at airports mosques and while that is to a certain extent welcomed by some people here in hanoi a lot of people are telling me that they don't want to be feeling like they are being protected they want instead a fundamental rethinking radios that why is this protection even necessary in the 1st place and that is of course a much more complicated issue that needs to be dealt with both politically and in german society to. what are we learning about the suspect who was.
1:09 am
well we had already heard from prosecution that he had indeed been mentally unstable and also of course from the manifesto if you will the video that emerged online just a couple of days before he carried out the shooting here. it was confirmed that he had strong beliefs too in far right extremist violence but the prosecution actually confirmed today that they had actually had previous contact with him but it was actually the suspect himself who had filed a criminal complaint. actually claiming that there was and then only identified a secret organization in germany an overarching organization which he said to quote this claim was tapping into people's brains and gaining information so that these organizations could then control world events so very clearly this was a man who was very clearly mentally unstable but also very convinced of his far
1:10 am
right extremist ideology and because. various there have been calls for germany's official opposition party the far right to be investigated why because there isn't any evidence of an a.f.p. connection. well there isn't any direct evidence to suggest that's of course the far right if the poncy weren't mentioned in this manifesto if you will that i mentioned as well that was posted by the suspect but there have been calls over the last couple of days from leading politicians from germany's middle ground parties and they've been calling for the a.f.p. to be put under surveillance and what they're trying to get at really is that claiming that it's the the far right a.f.p. has played a role in making some of the rhetoric which is being heard in germany and being used by the far right now making it more socially acceptable and saying that they
1:11 am
have played a role in the shift to the far right that we're seeing in germany at the moment and also parts of this money effect star this video that the suspect posted online parts of that have also been compared to speeches that have been made by some more full right leaning members of the a.f.p. including be on her rather high profile fall right to member of the a.f.c. and of course the a.f.p. has has rejected these claims as say in that the politicians from germany sent a ground posties a simply trying to instrumental lies this terror attack which happened just a couple of days ago kate the classic soil in which farai talked over to grows is that of deprivation and the need for scapegoats but germany is a prosperous country so why are so many germans turning to the far right and the likes of e.f.t. . well that is a very very long complicated story of course when we look at the extreme far right
1:12 am
that's certainly something that's been festering in germany for many many years now but focusing on the far right a.f.d. party in particular there are several reasons there if you look to the east there's people that i've spoken to in the last couple of years saying that they feel left behind in that they're voting for the f.t. out of protest similarly those people in western parts of western germany who have lost jobs because of coal mining closures for example they too have been disillusioned by some of the center ground of big tent policies and have instead across that ballot paper next to the far right a.f.d. but this is very very complicated many people that i've spoken say over the last couple of years in the some of these areas that i've mentioned are simply also very afraid is the sense that i got there's a fear of the unknown that's a fear of change and often you find that a lot of people who are voting for the f.t. iraq surely people that live in places that have
1:13 am
a very small numbers of migrants there or even know migrants or asylum seekers that's all and it's very much you get the sense that there is a feeling of fear and a feeling of. fear for the change an unknown here in germany and that's why certainly many people are voting for the f.d.a. good talking to you. in. migration agency says a rubber drinking pact with $91.00 migrants and set out for europe from libya has apparently gone missing in the mediterranean it's another harrowing statistic in the story of migrants who feel they have no choice but to make the perilous journey the w.'s and their drugs so rich is on board the rescue ship the ocean cycling where he spoke to one migrant from an overcrowded boat this week.
1:14 am
when the rescue crew sets off they don't know what to expect or whose lives they might save. they only know that somewhere out there people are at risk of drowning . but not one of those pulled from the sea his 24 year old michael from guyana. if the team from doctors without borders has an s.o.s. maybe to the navy hadn't helped he could have died. you know what sank walls would last away a very small. little man's we trying to prove. we there was out there saying it by now and what i mean though is always here because there. is a lot of life we download everything them to. the rescue mission is always a race against time the market boats could sink at any moment.
1:15 am
migrants like michael are only truly safe once they're aboard the ocean viking and then they have a chance to process their terrifying experience. michael was a guest worker in libya for a year before he was forced to flee. it's not easy. to fire him from libya yes we do you know it's well it's you join us sometimes we'll cut field they put money on you until you find money to feed them you're not a new. michael felt he had no choice but to escape libya because of the country's civil war. because did it for long because our life is more important. once and board the rescue ship the migrants get medical treatment food drink and
1:16 am
clean clothes as well as a new lease on life. and . i have to assume the joy of life in such sympathy to the fear of imminent risk is only complete when the survivors all disembarked in a place of safety and we are now awaiting a response from the telly and the multi is. to allow these people to finally reach a safe port. has been on board the ocean vikings the more than a week joins us now. what's the situation then. well the weather is much better than yesterday and you won't believe how important this is for the mood of the people especially for those who have to sleep on deck
1:17 am
we have 274 survivors on board the ocean biking and there is not enough space in the containers so approximately 50 of them have to sleep on deck that the blankets and an orange plastic survival back which is kind of emergency sleeping bag i even don't want to imagine what happens if it's going to rain in the days to come 2024 hours a day the medics doctors without borders taking care of the people so far they have been treated over 200 people that medics have identified one man. at risk of developing significant complications from injuries sustained while because the rates in libya. are consistent with having been subjected to daily beatings and 2 for the men who have been identified with similar in. requiring a follow up so they need to see a hospital
1:18 am
a real hospital the suit of the better i was a day before yesterday on one of the fast rescue boats and had to help out a little bit and back to the ocean biking and to take care of 5 small children i see the day on deck. the girls who maybe 23 years old i don't know was so happy to show me how new teddy bear that one of the medics gave for it so i mean it's good to them the situation is stable. so in your head there are more than 200 of. the boats while you still are saying why haven't you pulled into port. well. we we're still waiting to hear back from the authorities in multan italy and as you know we asked for a place of safety for the survivors 2 days ago on fortunately they didn't reply to us so far. i very much hope that they will allow us to disembark as soon as
1:19 am
possible do that because the people on board have already been through so much both in libya and on the edge early they really need and deserve to reach a land suit so in the meanwhile there is only one other rescue boat operating in the something military and at the moment who knows how many people that will risk their lives fleeing libya and the hours a day stew calm because i think our duty and responsibility and obligation of the captains of all ships in this area not only to this area but you know this is something that goes for the whole world to help those and distress at sea. so if this sounds like one of the stories that. a ship sas house and saying waiting for someone to say yes and joining that time. they just become tainted.
1:20 am
well right now of the people on board. doing ok i think the guys from dr without borders and i said that on the bay frankly it's very helpful the food is good we have a couple of guys from the philippines that i cook cookie. if i want to hear really good rock and roll music i just have to please my room and visit a kitchen at the same time it's a little bit like being in the on falsus i sleep in a bunk bed and you have to be careful when you step down it's that is also the room where 4 of us work most of the 1516 hours a day and if necessary even longer discipline is very very important on the boat the ocean biking to have conduct of code of conduct on board. we live to get very tight space rescuers are working hard to prepare food for the survivors
1:21 am
to keep the deck clean make sure that the people on board got everything they need to feel safe to save people's lives this is really a serious hard very often dangerous work i've met people on board who have saved thousands of people people's lives in the last years rescuers who they arrived on the spot and see people already swimming in the sea. sometimes at night have to decide what to do whom to save people who have seen death so it's really unbelievable it's not credible a very very professional team here to help with thanks for joining us maitre d. w. correspondent. rescue ship ocean viking. well into day 2 of the berlin international film festival the stars don't get much brighter than johnny depp premiering his new film minamata in which he plays an
1:22 am
active. photographer he said he felt of personal responsibility to tell the story of how big business covered up the mercury poisoning of japanese coastal communities in the 1970s to what the hell. you're all the time for for eugene smith led his field and he knew it as employers knew that all too well but then smith stumbled upon a story that was unbelievable when he knew he had a photograph. talking about minamata yeah i've been following it in the herald in the time small stories every couple of months where not only recovered i mean it's in the got the impression. that's all those poor people have to be director andrew liveris is film is about an environmental catastrophe that hit the japanese city of minamata. in the 1950 s. the cheese so chemical corporation's factory released waste laden with organic mercury into the sea thousands of people suffered extreme nerve damage as
1:23 am
a result babies were born with severe deformities learning the history of what happened in minamata was. the fact that we've even happened at all is quite shocking that it spared no one and. there was absolutely nothing. that they could do about it at 1st the corporation tonight responsibility leading to growing outrage among locals. to sort of. smith went to japan and documented the events in minamata the victims and the conflict with the company johnny depp provides a hard bitten portrayal of the heavy drinking smith as a man who is obsessed with his work. had a kind of strange fascination with. eugene smith the beach in smith where he's
1:24 am
gone through an experience. where he sacrificed to capture those moments you know capture those photos. things to eugene smith's pictures of minima the scandal drew international attention and the company faced prosecution the film a straightforward a homage to a photographer who never wanted to make sensational images but rather to wield his craft to enlighten the world. so let's join the doubler's head of the humphrey and david leavitt's of books a posh frocks an expensive suits of the 70th birthday and film festival welcome chops so i guess all eyes will be on the minimal losses premiere tonight. absolutely phil i think this film is a really good example of when the bell in our lives up to its reputation of being a political film festival at heart i mean this film is one of the 1st here you've
1:25 am
got an international film festival to really tackle an environmental issue at least to put it front and center of the festival itself not johnny depp was reportedly very dedicated to this film he was a producer on it himself he was the one i mean he even came up with the idea of putting it you know making it into a cinema and the crew spent you know up to 2 years back. and forth to this remote coastal part of japan to tell this story about a very serious issue at the end of the day because we're talking about not carry poisoning of up to 20000 people i mean cases still being discovered today in fact and the photographer he plays w. eugene smith is actually credited based on this spread he did for life magazine with giving birth to modern day environmental coverage in the media and now speaking of the media at a press conference for the movie with johnny depp reporters here in berlin were pressing johnny depp trying to draw parallels between. eugene smith's own struggles
1:26 am
with alcohol and drugs and p.t.s.d. and some troubles in johnny depp's life including allegations that he himself has troubles with alcohol abuse from his ex-wife amber heard johnny depp didn't take the bait though he stuck to the script. that's a big. but isn't the. sort of house. it is filling and we got a big taste of our house today with the intruder an argentinean movie the 1st in the competition that we've seen for the golden bear prize this is a psycho drama very surreal very strange it's a story of a woman named who has a very traumatic experience at the beginning of the movie although we're not really sure if it happened at all or as the director of this movie is an argentinean woman and one of the 1st female directors we've seen here by the name of talia met to and he was certainly very mehta there are plenty of points of dreams within dreams
1:27 am
sometimes it was difficult to find i think it was fair to say i couldn't tell when she was supposed to be dreaming when she was awake was similarly i'm not sure if i could tell if i liked it or not. i'm also not entirely convinced i definitely like some of the social issues it raised for example about new way feminism for example wrestling control back from the patriarchy but i'm not sure that it's going to be a contender for the. thank you bill. well the day is almost done but the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter. user you can follow me out phil dale don't forget to use a hostile the day of a good day. it's. been
