brought. a new sign is unveiled in central prague boris nemtsov square it reads this isn't only square in the czech capital it's right in front of the russian embassy and of was a leading russian opposition figure until he was shot dead but we are at a time when the freedoms of human societies and press are threatened by incarceration or even by death it is important to commemorate these people so this act or for naming the square i take is not solidarity with russian opposition and human rights movements. so it's not about. them so a fierce critic of russian president vladimir putin was killed 5 years ago just down the road from the kremlin he had been working on a report investigating russia's role in the conflict in ukraine. john and i'm so over travel to prague for the ceremony. and you see. renaming the

immigrant background image erman government they say a fundamental debate about racism needs to take place in german society that in my mind of this could have happened to my brother my family my friends it could have happened to hundreds thousands or millions of immigrants or racialized individuals the message was very clear there is no safe place anymore in germany and what is. the home affairs committee met thursday with national security chiefs to discuss the ha now attack this is specter that's hacker appears to have acted alone the committee discussed possible stricter gun ownership laws the alleged attacker held illegal permit for his weapons. did he turn to anything unusual the authorities nearby. in cases like this do we not have to make sure that the gun permit is withdrawn if they're reasonable doubts about how stable that person is. there was cross party agreement that german

society needs to do more to tackle racism. musical food insecurity risk for the population is extremely high there's a lot of uncertainty and there are simply people in this country who are afraid and this country this state the federal government needs to react decisively to that germany's immigrant communities are clear about one thing words alone will not be enough. to greece now where dozens of people have been hurt in the clashes between police and protesters on the islands of les pauls and here islanders are angry about government plans to build new facilities to replace the camps where thousands of asylum square seekers are living in squalor despite the escalating crisis the greek government is insisting it will proceed with the plans. they've had enough and they're here to show it protests over the construction of new camps for migrants turned violent as locals clashed with police.

and we will resist with all our strength for as long as needed so that no new structures are built on our island. on the greek islands of less post. have called for a general strike people there furious because they don't want to have to shoulder but they see as the burden of europe's migration crisis on their own they also feel they've been abandoned by their government in essence their movement on their home . i. want our islands back we want our lives back. the greek islands just off the coast of turkey are the 1st of many migrants enter. in the e.u. but new arrivals here find themselves stranded in overcrowded camps like the notorious mariah camp on last boss more than 19000 people are crammed in here it was designed for just 3000 conditions are unbearable not only for those in the camp

but also for the island's presidents. they live animals inside moria and the other camps. they want to lead to find a better place. that's what we want is well. so we're fighting for them as well as for us. but government should go drown themselves this is not an acceptable situation our islands are like a war zone. i'm not saying illegal migrants are not humans they are humans but we don't want prisons yet. the government plans to build new facilities which will tightly restrict migrants movements but it is migrants will be processed what's release more quickly because of recent changes to the law of the island to say they want to see the new arrivals we look at it quickly and fairly throughout greece and the rest of europe. it's been said that her oscar winning performance
