crackdown is creating even more anger. at america's coronavirus search threatens to derail its economic recovery concern is growing after jobless claims rise for the 1st time since the start of the pandemic. i'm serious oh my scumbag glad you could join 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 and 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 form of concentration camp near good danske in what is now poland from august 944 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 do an inverse of it 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. shilo. 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 full short of punishment is not justice enough earlier i spoke to efraim zuroff director of the simon wiesenthal center in church and i asked him for his reaction to the 1st act well we have course welcomed his conviction but we are utterly disappointed by the suspension of his punishment we think this is definitely wrong message. to society and it's an insult to the ins to the survivors and their families what is the wrong message that's being sent there you know you can be you can be caught of a murder machine and get away with it does this bring some measure of justice to the plaintiff's must as there often some measure of justice not only the plaintiffs

but survivors of the holocaust. how is this a measure of justice if he's not punished he goes home happy and they go back to their nightmares in tremors well i do want to ask 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 you were 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 bruno day that you know what was happening in shuttles that seems to me 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 jews murdered jews. in the past murder of jews

who was executed for refusing to do so and there were numerous cases of people who witnessed the transfers because they didn't want to engage it was quite rare to be so it's truly a group of gay was young that's why the prosecution only asked for 3 years as opposed to 5 years but if they didn't to walk away with no punishment what kind of justice is that firms are speaking to us earlier now some other stories making news around the world the latest round of talks between the u.k. and the european union have ended with a downbeat assessment from both negotiators the e.u.'s chief negotiator michel bunny set a trade deal of the unlikely the u.k.'s chief negotiator also admitted there was a long way to go like 5 west african leaders are in mali for crisis talks about the future of president abraham boubacar cape town has been facing calls for his resignation of a corruption and vote rigging allegations and over the long running conflict but
