between israel and the united arab emirates israel hopes that links with other arab states will become to talk to the breakthrough with ukraine and goofiness discuss official from the us. and the americans yes we can moment 5 years ago our open arms migration policy changed germany and europe. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program german politicians from across the political spectrum have condemned a far right attempt to storm the parliament building and for a latin president trying to shine meyer called it an intolerable attack on the heart of our democracy now demonstrators against the government's pandemic policies along with far right groups and science deniers overwhelmed police to. the entrance

to the german parliament was far right extremists pushed through police lines to the top of the rice talks steps. the amsterdam they shout resistance. and this interest followed we are the people was. the black white and red are the colors of the old imperial german right used now by neo nazis. in front of the rice target it makes for shocking symbolism. is coming it's not acceptable and it cannot be tolerated that some appear with symbols from a terrible dark past flags that have nothing to do with our modern democracy and they show up in front of the borders tired building the rice tank building the most important symbol of our democracy the parliament the wall of the more could 2 does

parliament of the demonstrators who filled central berlin on saturday were no longer the center of attention. many remained on sunday though and how the small day after a rally at the brandenburg gate they focused on the corona skeptic message and dismissed the previous day's aggression as your postulate what happened here was chaos and some small groups who wanted to take advantage of the situation and which we who support the corona demonstration want to have nothing to do with a calm voice analysis. yet the far right are confident the case in berlin at the weekend amid the rainbows and peace flags of other demonstrators and the krona skeptics didn't seem to have a problem with them being there war and let's get more with your political correspondent thomas ferro you were at the demonstrations what did you see or there were lots of people from different groups and with different interest yes it is obviously the case that we saw far right extremists. there and that those were also

the ones who tried to storm the right. building which by the way has a very important symbolism in germany it was burned by the nazis in 1983 when they attempted there to get rid of what was left of germany's democracy yet at the same time there were also other people attending this protest on t.v. axis conspiracy theorists also families who were there trying to explain that they were against the government and the way the government was handling the pandemic so i would say a very big mixture of of people that makes it even more difficult for authorities to try to identify who was actually there and to what extent these protests were co-opted by far right extremists that was one of the main concerns that authorities had obviously at the beginning i know the concern that authorities had was the fact that people were not wearing mosques that people were not complying with the social distancing rules and that's why police was forced to dissolve the protest and there were specific clashes also with with protesters around $300.00 people were detained

on saturday during those protests in central building so this was a protest which was supposed to be due to public health concerns people protesting the german government's approach to that the far right extremists that were present what was your experience are they being tolerated by the other protests we spoke to some people there and we asked them specifically that because one of the big concerns as i stressed by authorities is to what extent they have been called to these protests 5 far right interest in what they said is a basically everyone has a right to express their views and if those views are far right then that's up to them. so that's that just gives you an idea of to what extent this is being tolerated also within these big big movements i would say obviously that there were far right extremists there fire right groups for example rights. movement you could also see that in the fact that the flags that they were waving but at the same time as i stress there were other groups also in attendance it was a very varied group of people that went to berlin on saturday according to authorities there. 30000 people attending those protests and by the way also

counter-demonstrations on other parts of poland people stressing that they find it terrible but there are protests in berlin where people marched side by side with the nazis we're looking right now at some of the clashes on that video that was just laying there that those of those are the moments where they actually tried to storm the parliament building the organizers say that those who were responsible for that were really the minority was that also your experience if you look at it from a broader perspective you have to say that all those people who were attending those protests are indeed a minority so most people in germany agree with the way the government has been handling the coronavirus pandemic there are even a people who want the government to do more to try and control the pandemic so you can clearly say that these people who are attending the protests are a minority and within those people who were attending that protest there were parts who can be described as neo nazis and far right that's the way authorities have been describing it as well in particular when you look at the images that we saw from there i stuck to the political correspondent tom sparrow thank you.

let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world. police in the u.s. city of portland have launched a homicide investigation after a man died during clashes on saturday night skirmishes broke out after hundreds of supporters of president entre drove through the city trump and his democratic opponents of blamed each other for the violence. india says it has thwarted what it calls a provocative military movement by china over a disputed border tensions have been rising as the 2 countries build more roads and army facilities in the remote region in june dozens of indian troops were killed in a brawl with their chinese counterparts on the frontier. at least 3 migrants died and 5 others were injured when a fire broke out on a boat carrying them across the mediterranean the smoke from the fire could be seen

from a beach near the italian town of crew tona 2 police officers were also hurt. the 1st ever direct commercial flight from israel to the united arab emirates is about to take off from tel aviv we are looking at live pictures for you here now the historic flight comes after israel and the u.a.e. agreed to normalize relations in a deal brokered by the united states the u.a.e. is the 3rd arab country to establish full diplomatic ties with israel for many presidents the deal means that they can finally bring covert business and personal relationships into the open. down here these are unusual days for mark a jewish israeli palestinian businessman from his small office in jerusalem and through travel he has been doing business with the united arab emirates has several years but always under the radar the country's had no diplomatic relations until

recently as a 1st step phone lines were officially established but right now my friends i just call me for the fun of it hey man i wired on the call my gosh i just heard the news that we could call each other directly communication. is something we humans are known for civilization requires communication and work together. i really praise that wonderful great vision of this country you know they're very much. who facilitated the certification of helen kosha products between the it's well it's honest i'm cold to the emirates for years people had to use foreign providers or the internet to connect and unless there is very. limited effect. it seems to. be actually great just imagine the deal breaks with the long head view among arab countries that normalizing ties would only come after israel and its

military occupation of the palestinian territories in israel there have been a lot of firsts in the past days 1st direct interviews with and iraqi officials like here a t.v. channel 13 tell of the reporters were sent immediately to upper darby and israeli news sites very reportedly unplugged in the emirates you know what is amazing normally in those cases it takes time but now everything is on the table relationship embassies flight stories and everything is moving very fast we can phone the emirates we can go there we can ever interviews there only in. jordon have signed peace treaties with israel in the past. that this new agreement will go beyond business and security mountainous i suspect that this would be a war more peace than the real issue with jordan there was never about there was never wars there was never any misunderstanding or political disagreement direct

between i from the united arab emirates or anybody in the gulf for that reason so i'm really optimistic view our countries have signaled that they might consider following the u.n. move it could just take to map off alliances in the region. and joining me now from jerusalem is either of you are responding tanya kramer so as we heard time you have the 1st commercial flight taking place today who is on board and how is this moment being commemorate it. one board you have 2 delegations one is the israeli delegation headed by the head of the national security and the other delegation is headed by job a. u.s. president advisor because this agreement that still has to be signed at some point was brokered by the u.s. so we understand on this 1st flight it's all about civilian matters they will be

talking about tourism maybe diving flights. culture and of course it stand in the details what kind of bilateral agreements stay will. work on now if you ask me what people are thinking is well i mean this day has been very much anticipated as we heard in the report to know it all went very fast it's very exciting for most people because it opens up israel to the east and that's of course not the 1st time and it doesn't happen very often that it's signs of peace agreement the last time was in 1994 with jordan now the u.a.e. would be the 3rd arab country only in the 1st gulf need. to normalize ties with israel on the other hand palestinians are very much concerned about this normalization because it actually changes the stands at least a public stands of our country saying that there shouldn't be no normalization with

israel unless israel and its military occupation over the palestinians given all of that time what is this flight connection mean for both countries. well i think the 1st thing to say it's very significant this is and i'll cite as israel its national carrier and from what we understand saudi arabia. reportedly will open its airspace so it can be really a direct flight from tel aviv to after dark at abu dhabi that is the 1st time so it it has a lot of if you know some symbolism in this move and it signals also an openness to this agreement now of course it has a lot of interests as well economic interests but also political interests and it's somehow shows a shift maybe also you know in the alliances a common. enemy so to speak iran israel and the gulf states but also of

course it's you know. describes the legacy of an embattled israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. tanya kramer with a view from jerusalem today thank you. police in the bella racine capital minsk have arrested more than $100.00 anti-government protesters they were taking part in another mass demonstration to demand that president alexander lukashenko step down the protests started after the claimed and overwhelming reelection victory earlier this month but observers say the poll was neither free nor fair go is due to meet his ally russian president vladimir putin in moscow. go away go away they chant tens of thousands hit the streets of minsk on sunday the 3rd week of protests doing their best to avoid

a massive police presence. but not always with success. thousands have been detained in recent weeks opponents of the regime and of president alexander lukashenko. last night came here to express my disagreement with the results of the election and my solidarity with the detained people i stand for peace for belarus but not for a look at st louis mr. lucas chink of his dog in his heels since the protests began he says belarus is threatened by foreign powers not the military reports that nato has deployed their forces for drills right on our border what am i supposed to do. and he says he'll soon meet with russian president vladimir putin who has offered to send in security forces to quell the protests. telling him let's see what we can do with low draw up 6 sunday's protests came on the question goes to perth to the

crowd marked it their own way with another chant. happy birthday. in watching t.w. news still to come on the program a champagne performance from formula one champion lewis hamilton at the belgian grand prix got the highlights of a race that took kalil to closer to setting a new record. but 1st all this week we're looking back 5 years when hundreds of thousands of people mostly from syria escaped war and persecution and headed for the european union to seek refuge it was a pivotal moment for the e.u. which prides itself on its open internal borders some member states however were closing them putting a far wire fences to keep the my friends out and all eyes turned to the e.u.'s

biggest member germany what its side with the fence builders for uphold the blocs commitment to freedom of movement. well as you'll recall with 3 words chancellor angela merkel took an unusually proactive stand and change the course of european history did abuse chief political editor michelle was there on this day 5 years ago . it was the moment that defined going to merkel's response to the 2015 migration crisis if you missed. it was the german equivalent of this yes we can. i was there 5 years ago when desperate migrants in hungary set off on foot towards germany just hours later i'm going to machall singlehandedly decided to keep germany's borders open the scenes of an open welcoming germany went around the world. 5 years on this raises the question did germany make it and at what cost. in 2015 many an angle or merkel's

own c.d.u. party were against open arms policy. then finance minister was one of them his key concern was losing control for today's speaker of germany's parliament it still is. one has to prevent the impression that there is a loss of control that situation was crucial for a few months but we've mostly overcome its effects by now we need a european solution to these problems. instead of more europe national reflexes kicked in across the continent in germany decision helped launch a populist party into parliament the far right alternative for germany. the f.t. support had been fizzling out until merkel's we will make it moment ignited the party's rise to become a fixture of germany's political landscape its co-founder alexander garland freely

admits that merkel's open border policy helped propel his party to parliament. we didn't make it and we can't make it it's nobody's fault but it's simply impossible to let so many people from a totally different cultural background who behave so do. friendly into a country and say we can make it. the map of decision was humanitarian yet many also hopes the migrants would be able to meet germany's growing demand for skilled workers a new survey obtained exclusively by d w before publication shows a mixed picture 5 years on half of these refugees are in some form of employment or education the authors of the study germany did reasonably well mostly because of its economic strength. almost to the day 5 years after her yes we can

moment same place same setting machall says she would do the same again. overall i would take the same decisions again that's right. but she warns of tough times ahead. and we will now see a phase where jenaveve rise in unemployment will make it again more difficult to get those people to work who have only recently arrived here as refugees or as migrants. for now though germans are more busy with corona but debating migration both have proved to be political gain changes while germany has undoubtedly most of the effects of 2015 economically politically i'm going to machall valve's not to let that moment repeat itself a moment that changed germany and will define her legacy. and let's get more we are

joined from tunis in tunisia by consultant and author kilian kleinschmidt he was the director of jordan zaatari camp during the 2015 refugee crisis at that time it was accommodating about 80000 people mostly from syria welcome to the program and thank you so much for joining us i'd like to begin by asking you what was it like running one of the biggest refugee camps during the crisis well i was actually running the refugee camp before the crisis and it was very predictable that we would be going that route because international solidarity has already diminished the minister for the crisis which is unprecedented the syria crisis and i think it was very clear that people at some point would make decisions that was not enough food anymore for the refugee crisis it was not enough funding available and the world looked the other way so people actually took their destiny in their own hands

and started walking and as they started walking with you we saw this statement from the german chancellor yes we can do it how from your view from your perspective did that decision impact the flow of people to europe. well i mean the people in the way it was very clear that there were that sentiment to actually reach somewhere where they're actually expected that there would be solidarity a europe which has been very proud of its so-called values and always had declared that it was in solidarity with refugees and migrants anyways so there was nothing macro could have done otherwise at that very moment you could argue that of course her stance then attracted others to continue coming in but anyway i personally have the opinion that she really had no other way it should rights

however she did some mistakes such as. well seeing insisted on the contrary in this of this saying well go your guests as long as it is needed you will be going back you will be going back to a syria and rebuild it once there's peace i think this is an illusion if you look into the may gratian and forced migration historically most people never returned she should have and must have said to everyone this is going to be very difficult it's going to be very tricky but you syrians and you refugees you believe here to stay as long as it is needed you have to integrate it and as well to the germans to the public to the people should have said well they're going to stay so we must actually look into what it takes to integrate a considerable number of people but germany has always had these movements in the past let's not forget that there have been big big immigration movements or even

refugee movements after the 2nd world war and germany has been able to cope with as europe should be able to write with a population of 5000000 people and when we look at you know the population when we look 5 years on we have refugees still trying to get to go up every day now currently the e.u. however still struggling to agree on how to best deal with the refugee question why do you think this is such a difficult problem to solve. well i think they're obviously the populist right wing radical obvious have benefited from it but it has helped as well of course to recognize that we have such a problem and we must address the his issues of right wing radicalism going back to the dark past i think what is not understood in europe and we should have learned from this that you can manage it you must make manage make nice and i live in tunisia which has actually seen not more than 6 and a half 1000 people leaving this year along because of economic difficulties and

shortcomings we must be more intelligent when it comes to a global solution to make racially management and again also consider that europe does need people so let's do that in a responsible way let's not feed it illegal smugglers the irregular criminals out there who benefit from the situation kilian kleinschmidt joining us from tunisia today thank you so much for joining us to share that message thanks. in formula one defending champion lewis hamilton coasted to victory in the belgian grand prix to increase his lead in the overall standings the britain is now just 2 wins away from matching michelle schumacher s record of 91 race victories. the way the best chance to catch lewis hamilton in this race was at the start this

spa circuit is fast but a tight turn at the 1st corner always gives would be challenges a glimmer of hope so when hamilton held off his ms sadie's team eked out 3 potters the writing was on the wall. the wall was where these 2 ended up the safety car called out on lap 10 after antonio jovan that c. lost control of his alfa romeo. jovan that season and had to tie a careering into the path of george russell in the williams. thankfully both drivers won homs. it was another disastrous weekend for ferrari sebastian fatso overtaken by what should be a slow alfa romeo and just left a fight to teammate shell the classroom easily 13th place up at the front hamilton's biggest fights was with his deteriorating tire as she kept heading in the right direction crossing the line for his face when in 7 races this year edging

ever closer to a record equalling sevens world title. coming up next on d w news my colleague christophe colbert will be with you he will have the latest headlines from the business world and don't forget there's always more in our web site t w dot com you can also follow us on twitter and instagram. i'm sarah kelly in for a landing you so much for joining us here in d w sticker and singing. how
