delhi for 2 children tell us how they're fighting to keep body and soul together and trying to look to the future. plus a religious reckoning in the heart of istanbul ah yes sophia is due to open as a mosque for friday prayers after more than 80 years as a museum. i'm sunni so misconducts great to have you with us a court here in germany has given a 2 year suspended sentence to a former nazi concentration camp guard for his role in killing thousands of people during world war 2 the former guard known as bruno d. is now $93.00 he didn't sisted he wasn't responsible for the killings that took place at the camp the trial is likely to be one of the last of those involved in the holocaust. a 2 year suspended prison sentence from

a juvenile court not the outcome one might expect for a role in the murder of over $5000.00 people but bruno di now aged $93.00 was a small cog in the nazis machinery of killing and he was a teenager at the time he was a guard at the former home of concentration camp near the down skin what is now poland from august 144 to april 945 historians estimate around 65000 people were murdered here in various ways in a gas chamber or by shooting or poison or through disease and exhaustion bruno deeded sentry g.t. keeping watch preventing inmates from fleeing in court he denied guilt saying he needed little about the killings and was not in a position to prevent suffering. but still thought survivor doing in bustle bitch who gave evidence in the case remembers it differently. so his

testimony before the court was a lie nothing but a lie because standing on the watchtower he had a view of the whole camp right under his nose as he stood next to the machine gun us and so that if anything it happened an inmate rebellion or a riot he would have shot without hesitating. but. it was the 2011 conviction of former camp guard john demjanjuk as an accessory to murder at the sabi board death camp that opened the way to a string of such cases against minor figures who did not kill but facilitated the killing demjanjuk died before his appeal could be heard but the case helped to cement the view that in the context of the holocaust guards were perpetrators to. the judges found bruno di guilty as an accessory to 5232 murders the number killed while he was and still it off in his closing statement he apologized

to all those who as he said went through the hell of this insanity but many survivors will feel that such words and a sentence which in effect falls short of punishment is not justice enough so let's get some more perspective on the story now we have if ames it off with us he's the director of the simon wiesenthal center in jerusalem and the court major of nazi war crimes research worldwide mr off good to have you with us here 1st of all let's get your reaction to today's verdict well we of course welcome his conviction but we have utterly disappointed by the suspension of his punishment we think this is definitely wrong message. to society and it is an insult to the ins to the survivors and their families what is the wrong message that's being sent there you know that you can be you can be part of

a murder machine and get away with it does this bring some measure of justice to the plaintiffs missed as there often some measure of justice not only the plaintiffs but survivors of the holocaust. how is this a measure of justice that he's not published he goes home happy and they go back to their nightmares in tremors well i do want to ask you about what we heard in court from bruno days defense lawyer the defense lawyer said that bernard was just 17 years old at the time and he was forced to do this work by the s.s. and that he wasn't aware of what was happening around him what is your opinion on that. 1st of all i don't believe for one minute that brutal day that you know what was happening in the us that seems to me and if i'm not mistaken the judge said that as well i mean this is pure fabrication 2nd of all i have news

for you there is no documented case of a single german who refused to murder jews or participate in that mass murder of jews who was executed for refusing to do so and there were numerous cases of people who were yes the transfers because they didn't want to engage in this kind of activity so it's truly a good day was young that's why the press accused you know he asked for 3 years as opposed to 5 years but for him to walk away with no punishment what kind of justice is that ok you're disappointed by this verdict today and we should say it's been many decades since the holocaust i think germany has been too slow with trials like this 1st of all germany has a horrendous reckitt in terms of terms of crest securities nazis ok during the initial decades of west germany for example many of the judges themselves were members of the nazi caught and the they give you example there were 120000

investigations of nazi war criminals and less than 7000. were convicted. so that gives you a sense of how full justice was but when many years later now and it has since the german government the legal authorities made a correct decision a decade ago to make it to facilitate the prosecution of nazi war criminals by saying that anyone who served in a death camp or camp with the apparatus for mass murder like a guest chamber that it was used at all. can be prosecuted even if there is no evidence of a specific crime against a specific victim motivated by racial hatred which was in till 10 years ago the standard by which that's what criminals would prefer were prosecuted well thank god they changed that because it's virtually impossible to prove but if this is what's

going to happen then really i mean it's it is really not a good message in terms of justice necessary flecks look for it here because bruno does trial is likely to be one of the last of its kind are you afraid that once the perpetrators and eyewitnesses are no longer with us that this part of history might be at least somewhat forgotten. 1st of all there's no danger of the how it was being so got because you have thousands and thousands of dedicated people who have devoted their lives to collecting the evidence presenting that evidence and different floors whether it be museums in history books in syria or in movies on the internet it said that's not the danger at the moment but the question is whether people will learn the lessons of the house and if you don't punish the perpetrator is that sending a very very big message does it just say well you know so many years the past is

that old man this is what i call misplaced sympathy seems rule. bruno day is the latest person who deserves and he said that people deserve the sympathy of the survivors and needless to say the victims but the victims that he gets so listen that a single person who has been convicted says the change in german press that you should policy has set one day in jail is he being convicted not the man you know not droning not handing and now just a day goes whole very happy and we go back to our pay to drown. we'll have to leave it there efraim zuroff the director of the simon wiesenthal center in jerusalem thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us today. thank you. now it took almost 5 days of exhausting negotiations by european union leaders but

how will the 750000000000 euro coronavirus recovery package make it through that european parliament lawmakers have started scrutinizing the package there's been plenty of criticism the package is the 1st joint borrowing fund ever agreed on by the un it consists of 390000000000 euros and grants and 360000000000 in loans members of parliament are due to vote on it and a couple of months time. and you know because marina strauss caught up with the. vice president of the european parliament ali insisted the parliament was the voice of the people and would take its chance to make this deal better. disparity your leaders described a deal they struck as historic what are the words you would use for it. well it was a compromise and it was a compromise between leaders of member states and so you see it as well a mixture of interests of member states but the european parliament is the voice of the people the only directly elected body so we are here to add more european

perspective so it's the 1st time in history a sort of rule of conditionality might be introduced you must be happy about that well i would be if it was clear how it's going to announce and the interpretation of these few paragraphs is rather different and this is what worries me a lot because we need a strong conditionality between financial means and the rule of law we are seeing the rule of law deteriorating in a lot of member states and we have to stop that it's all on for example hungary and prime minister you've been criticizing him a lot so that there's no conscious analyse did he understand something wrong but that's exactly the question have there been some kind of deals behind closed doors we don't know this is why we want a much clearer formula i mean what we have now is not

a legal text yet we have still to see the legal text that comes out of the council and we will really focus on the rule of law there this year of us very hard for it and we're in an emergency situation here time is running we all know that so what power does the european parliament have now do yourself to do your best if you have to say yes now to this deal that's the pressure that everyone. the member states in the 1st place like to put those of course but also some parts of the media sometimes the population says what has taken so long now and has been so difficult you have to say yes but that woods would waste the chance because it's not only that we have to be fast we also have to be very very good in what we're doing now and i think the argument has the chance to make it better. to some other stories making headlines around the world the latest round of talks between the u.k. and the european union have ended with a downbeat assessment from both the go shaders the use chief negotiator michelle

said a trade deal looked unlikely the u.k.'s chief negotiator also admitted there was a long way to go. and bowl garia prime minister boyko body soft has fired 3 key ministers in an attempt to call me anti-government protests thousands of people have taken to the streets in the last 2 weeks demanding the entire government resign they accuse the ruling coalition of corruption and links to all of. the 1st female prime minister of the bone has been sworn into office rosa christiana. was appointed by the country's president and a government shakeup she's taking office as battles are coronavirus and falling oil prices have the economy. to the u.s. now were anger and on rest are growing after president trump's decision to send federal agents to several cities trump says they are needed to deal with a surge in violent crime but federal officers operating in portland oregon have

been targeting protesters demanding racial justice city officials say the deployment has only increased local anger the mayor himself has been caught in the crossfire. oh damn. it stings it's hard to breathe the mayor of portland tear gassed by federal offices in the middle of his own city. ted willow was in a group of protesters outside a federal courthouse he said he saw nothing which provoked this response but. the irony is portland protesters are angered that the democratic man had backed his own city police using tear gas until a federal judge ordered it should only be used when there was a safety issue. for the 55th night in a row protesters flooded the streets of portland and a new chant was being sung. cut fades though how the

a clear message to the federal agents deployed by the trumpet ministration to crackdown on demonstrators. the local governor a democrat didn't mince her words this is a democracy not a dictatorship we cannot have secret police abducting people into and putting them in unmarked vehicles. i cannot believe i have to say that to the president of the united states i know that oregonians are outraged americans should be appalled but the controversy hasn't stopped president trump announcing that more federal agents will be sent to other u.s. cities today i'm announcing a surge of federal law enforcement into american communities plagued by violent crime will work every single day to restore public safety protect our

nation's children and bring violent perpetrators to justice federal offices will be sent to albuquerque and chicago both democrat run cities critics say the deployment is political an attempt to make democrats weak on crime and to burnish trump's image as the law and order president ahead of the november election the mayor of chicago says she welcomes a partnership with federal agents but warns against using the same tactics as in portland. i've been very clear not happening in chicago we don't need federal troops we don't need unnamed secret federal agents roaming around the streets of chicago that's not democracy that we saw unfolding on the streets of portland as a result of this federal action that's what we call tyranny and dictatorship and we're not having it in chicago residents of chicago say extra police won't solve

the issues facing the city they say action on gun control would be more effective in tackling violent crime. meanwhile republicans in the u.s. senate are preparing to unveil a new covert $1000.00 relief package it is likely to include another round of direct payments to americans there's been a sharp rise in new coronavirus infections and lock down measures are triggering get more layoffs in the past week alone some 1400000 americans have filed for jobless benefits. the effects of the pandemic in the u.s. are easy to observe like here in california many businesses have shut down and millions of workers have lost their jobs the rate of new unemployment claims was slowing but fresh data around thursday shows the 1st increase since march though still working can consider themselves lucky. lot of people.

going through it but. the u.s. has logged 4000000 cases so far and as long as infection rates remain high the economic situation is unlikely to improve much. in washington lawmakers are discussing another coronavirus relief package worth a trillion dollars the clock is ticking the current assistance for millions of americans is set to expire at the end of this month. numbers of new covered $1000.00 infections in india are among the world's highest the health ministry reported more than $45000.00 new cases on wednesday while the total death toll so far is nearly $30000.00 lockdowns and other preventative measures are proving hardest for those living at the margins of indian society did obvious many a child they sent us this report on street children in delhi. 15 year old justin sometimes legs to watch t.v. in the dimly lit room he calls home which he shares with some 50 people this room

situation in the country has meat much it's worse for them. istanbul's how gas is due to host muslim friday prayers for the 1st time since being converted from a museum back into a mosque it was originally a cathedral and fear has been at the heart of istanbul for 1500 years the latest change has triggered an outcry. reports. the highest of fear is istanbul's landmark. it symbolizes the byzantine the ottoman as well as the turkish period for. the architecture is so marvelous that the old byzantines believed that the dome was held by god himself then beauty cover that took the mark but it also marked out that this was young a score to show knows everything about the heaviest for 20 years he's been guiding tourists to the world heritage site and when he talks about it he is still amazed

every time. but right now everything is different 1st the museum closed due to the coronavirus and then the museum was suddenly no longer a museum. because president credit tight add one turned he had years of fear back into a mosque when a show so good christian was a christian citizen of this country it saddens me but i'm trying to stay calm as a mosque the highest the fear will still be open for visitors they can even enter free of charge in the future but the rules will probably change that we give you short notice is give a shit load of all which. visitors will now only be permitted outside prayer times was a makes and i can see that testify that the idea sophia was the most important church of christianity for centuries will be covered with curtains during worship. and. best and biggest decision ever made for turkey. it's great news for the entire

muslim world which we've been longing for this for more than 80 years. so. here we're going to have to we can see these days thanks to our president for this decision. many people here are happy that they had us sophia is now a mosque again but there's also a lot of criticism the european union has called the decision regrettable the u.s. a disappointment pope francis said he was very distressed and unesco wants to review the hagia sophia status as a world heritage site. the criticism does not only come from abroad like yourself that some people in istanbul consider the hagia sophia decision to be a political maneuver by outlining. their dark already have enough mosques in istanbul we don't need another one i think this has clearly been a political decision. to make you wonder if you just do that to distract people

from the actual problems in this country the economic crisis and high inflation he was and is all about i also feel misled how he is a fear is a museum because i am absolutely against making it a mosque because istanbul is home to many religious beliefs but if she hears. the tourist guide young his quarter shall move for example belongs to the greek orthodox minority in turkey people in his church see themselves as descendants of the byzantines who built the have yourself yet in the 6th century for them it's part of their identity. but younis is reluctant to voice criticism he says his community has experienced many setbacks and yet they've always managed to move on. and that nationalists of course now celebrate the highest afia decision as a victory. because because because we're

a very small community they don't hear us. in a country with more than 80000000 people it's not easy to make a few 1000 voices heard which means. sissy chicks. nearly 4000000 people visited the i.v.s. afia last year. and young is quite a shallow hopes that he can continue to show this monument to as many tourists as possible because for him regardless of its status it remains the most beautiful landmark of istanbul. a german chocolate maker has won the right to trademark a shape the country's top court has decided that with its from earlier square shaped chocolate can be legally protected the company registered it in the 1990 s. but a competing brand took with us went to court saying trademark protection for a shape is going too far the court didn't agree a case perhaps of a company biting off more than it can chew. thank you for watching t
