just over 4 years later and. return to the village in front of the refugee home. of former neighbor suddenly appears from her house and force lived in for 50 years 4 years ago yes hello good day. you know if i have 2 children now i have a daughter now to talk a daughter that's a lovely we've learned german you have learned german i have work here now and even to created yourselves with us that can't have been easy. yes and slowly we try to forget what happened to us here. but what happened here as well don't talk about that anymore. it's difficult finding people in power to talk about the offensive february 26th

seen. here. and you know how i mean spirited started off. with over the i've heard about it from people who live there i'd say it's been blown out of proportion but it's still . there no refugees living here any more back than there were about 20 this innovation machine kinda got some of the children also went to the kindergarten in the only son little boy went to school and there was a list outside of all the things he needed the robbers to satchels for him everything was already there and here they are lots of people who struggle to buy all the things that children need to start school nobody gives them anything and that's the other side of the coin it's no wonder that people are angry they get everything handed to them on a plate while we struggle to make ends meet in a good one think of how much did the refugees cost germany in 2018 the federal office for migration under. if you g.'s calculated that

a good $15000000000.00 of direct federal expenditure and another $7000000000.00 also of grants to local authorities was given for refugee work together about $23000000000.00 the total federal budget for this year was over 340000000000 euros and although criticism of foreign integration is often heard in the east relatively few refugees live there the light is shaded regions indicate the least amount of refugees who was sent back in 2015 the a.f.d. received more than a quarter of the votes in saxony in 2019 in the community of 2nd back to which clausen its belongs 34 percent voted for them fischer is adamant. on this so we saxons are not all like that and it's only a quarter of them then it's still a minority. you order right. consonants is divided like saxony it sounds. we also met some people who are uncomfortable

with the events that occur at. the show if it does just one hope that it never happens again. you can settle things calmly maybe people should think 1st and then speak question and not get excited and carried away with events of. who were the people who surrounded the coach back them who didn't want refugees in class notes. are essentially leads us to 2 brothers thomas h. was the director of the refugee home at the time and and i have to remember. his brother cast an h. i don't deny the protest as he explained in an interview and 2016 that's more than nobody wanted this at least none of us who live in the village it's difficult to explain the reasons why things happen and it's certainly regrettable that it

escalated as it did it was not what we were hoping to achieve when we met at the beginning definitely not. how do they look back on the events of 2015 we tried to interview the brothers but they didn't respond to our inquiries we decided to try and meet them we met a colleague in the parking lot at a cost n h e's workplace and asked him to arrange an interview. yes all right i'll ask him after 10 minutes the man and he doesn't want to talk he's scared there were death threats back then we filed over 140 criminal charges for death threats through the internet and e-mails please turn the camera off from the local news paper we learned that the. 8 robbers are now both active in politics and represent the a.f.d. party in the local council. and

mussel ranch pa found a new home just a few towns away. the children go to the local kindergarten. and soldering has a job with a local automotive supplier he takes his with him to visit. a low is nothing it is a dish out of the attic looking for new work again yes of course. you know what to do today the knowledge that i will show you in a minute let's go in here but you should change he said so i think as i try to make is a reliable harley our. is diligence. is really integrated himself well into his new job and he's learned a lot and we're all from a colleague one of you very satisfied with him to freedom it's attic.

she said oh in that case i do have one available you cannot construct. this. line increasing studios here in. michigan reaching still further. in the mean time the iranian family feels more integrated in fribourg. bastone doesn't speak much john after 5 years in germany i thank managed it. after 5 years the 1st year i can forget and clausen it. after that i learned german a little bit and then i worked for 2 years. i'm still working. i want to improve my german and live in peace without any problem.

the 2 children and i some have a future in germany another child was not so fortunate. little alon curdie how to dance story continues. i can september 25th and i'm cutting his brother garnett and his mother reihana were buried in the town from which they had fled the year before and which has since been liberated by cutting troops. i have no future my future is over i wanted to go to europe to get my family a future. since september 25th dean don't occur to me has been living in iraq in the kurdish city of abidjan how is he today we had planned

a joint visit to m.l. with his sister team for the end of march to meet up with him shortly before our departure the trip had to be cancelled due to the corona pandemic. until recently the refugee crisis seemed to be the biggest challenge germany has had to face since the 2nd world war that has changed now. even the lives of the people we managed for this film have been transformed sometimes overnight. from freiburg centers this video betty for us the corona crisis has had serious consequences. i was handed my notice. elbow had changed our lives and upset our plans. and now we have decided to move to a better and bigger city at. all well some friends have recommended that we move to hamburg. a nonsmoker money

a man from the medical selfie lost his part time job at an exhibition center to since found work as a cashier in a supermarket. the isolation is a problem for him. one of the she's the only yank since i can go to university i've become increasingly bored i used to meet friends we did homework and study together which was really interesting. but not anymore there. and nicole can't help her from munich she is currently on maternity leave but while her job at the travel agency still be available for her later. borders will remain closed for longer as will the psychological borders in people's minds i don't think it will be so easy in the future for large numbers of refugees to migrate under. 5 years after the

crisis in the greek refugee camp morea. thousands of people are still waiting at europe's external borders hoping for asylum. we finally get a message from abdul county we learn from kurdish television that a few weeks ago he became a father again he remarried in 2017 and via mobile phone we finally reached him in and. when the new baby came i was very surprised. i couldn't believe it. it was like a huge shock. i didn't know whether to be happy or sad or to cry i didn't understand what was happening tonight.

when you lose your own child. and i hope you never experience something like that. it's a very strange feeling to have lost a child and then to have a new baby. but sometimes he will send. you off into the baby and singing to the baby and some time when i go over him he will be like. because the baby's crying. and he said to me. i just can't just cannot hear him or. my sister said maybe it take. that woman to or not last this from growing that child. you know when your trouble cries it's almost. i think we need.

this is the w. news live from berlin donald trump on the defense evolve to media reports suggest he insulted the american war did the president denies claims he called fallen troops losers on a visit to france trump's democratic rival george biden has seized on the issue as support for the military moves up the war to in the battle for the white house also in the next 15 minutes women in bell reuss lead the lightest challenge to authoritarian president alexander lukashenko the country's exiled opposition leader

says the point of no protest has been popped. plus britain 20 book takes center stage at the venice film festival the world's most famous climate change activists stop us in a new documentary on the last fall for a young swedish campaigner. i'm jarred read it's great to have you. with this the race for the white house in november has taken a new turn following comments the u.s. president is alleged to have made donald trump has strongly denied reports he insulted americans killed in battle in europe the atlantic magazine broke the story and said for a fuse to visit an american military cemetery in france because it was filled with loses and because he didn't believe it was important to honor the american war dead the report also claims cold marines who lost their lives. getting killed.

of the story of being corroborated by other news outlets including fox news which is usually a strong supporter of the president but donald trump says he didn't want the comments you know it's a fake story written by a magazine that was probably not going to be around much longer but it was a totally fake story and that was confirmed by many people who were actually there it was a terrible thing that somebody could say that kind of things and especially today because i don't work for the military then almost anybody else well with a true or not the story has many veterans democratic presidential nominee joe biden jumped on the story he had this to say. trump has demonstrated he has no sense of service no loyalty to any cause other than himself. 5 the honor be the next commander in chief i will ensure

that our american heroes know all have their backs honor their sacrifice and those who've been injured will be in military parades. ok for more on this let's go to g.w. washington correspondent with be good to see you this story has been reported and corroborated by various outlets of course denies it he's got a problem though right because there's a history of he having said just parroting things about military veterans in the past and that's just jerry these alleged private comments do appear consistent with what we have heard publicly from the president in the past as our viewers may remember he made disparaging comments about the late republican senator john mccain and said that he wasn't a war hero because he'd been captured in vietnam trump also picked a fight with

a gold star family after they spoke at the d.n.c. and 20 sixteen's the khans they've lost their son in combat in iraq and trouble for us denies these recent reports saying he hails the troops as heroes but he has gone on the offensive as well he attacked a fox news reporter corroborated that story from her own sources and he's certainly not pleased that the conservative cable news network didn't entirely back him up this time around ok we've also heard from the democratic candidate joe biden we heard from him a bit earlier as trump's political opponent of course he has seized on these alleged comments but this is also personal for him too isn't it. absolutely jerry this is a deeply personal issue for joe biden his son beau served in iraq so he knows what it's like to hug your child and send them off to war and he's calling these alleged comments by the president disgusting and damn a ball now a parent who is directly mentioned in these reports is gen john kelly his son robert was killed in action in afghanistan and according to these reports by the

atlantic in 2017 when kelly was working for trump the 2 men visited robert's grave in that moment the president allegedly asked what's in it for them and while we all may want to hear from general kelly he has not confirmed nor denied these claims but trump attacked him on friday anyway now if these allegations are true it definitely shows a lack of empathy critics have highlighted in the past that trump is a transactional figure he doesn't seem to grasp why people act in the way that they do if it's not beneficial to them and he doesn't seem to understand sentiments like duty and honor. just under 2 months now into the presidential election how it could be used to fix trump's standing among the military voters. go back 4 years ago around this time trump had a commanding 20 point lead over hillary clinton among some military voters a recent poll showed that biden now has a 4 percent lead over the president so the support is already not where it was but

again all of this was before the story broke on friday so the question remains will be is alleged remarks be the straw that breaks the camel's back will this be the moment some of the staunch supporters say i can no longer back him and out there will surely be fresh polls in the coming weeks jared but we will surely find out in november our correspondent because often in washington thank you debbie. in the u.s. mall protests being held against rush will inequality and police filings rallies have gone old gone ahead in support of the president as well in louisville kentucky black lives not a protest is demanded police officers involved in the killing of black medical workup are going to face trial meanwhile there was a show of support for the president. vehicles through the city with national flags and it's. let's go to belarus now where thousands of women
