that was music from gene civilians the ja finnish musician you know i

cannot help but think about the congregants that day. when you listen to the music but give you that thought later we have the german president frank walter steinmeier at the podium to get at minister president state premier. mr pervert's mr schuester mr massey accidents and accidents nice. ladies and gentlemen. family members of the victims guests i knew i was struggling and a year has passed when i. it's already been a here it's only going to be here in the house today one year ago right here and how that a nightmare became real in broad daylight. at the heart of germany in germany of all places and your eyes try going up a year has passed but the pain. and the horror then go on to get duncan mind you

because my thoughts and my deepest sympathy go to those who have lost their loved ones i mentioned 2 people were murdered in cold blood. yeah not a lot not kevin shrugs a sight and the smell of it for the people who love them nothing is the way it was then. there is no solace for their loss i'm doing it all as a german president i want to say to you their relatives we stand with you and all of us the people in our country mourn with you if i guessed and we have not forgotten history and all hundreds died today we stand with the people who were severely injuring that i didn't mention we do stand with people not of us not have who were in the sights of the gunman in his murderous hatred you know 19 members of the family jewish community. who feared for their lives for ours you will never be

able to shake our this 19th of october completely. grievous consequences from this day within yourselves you are plagued by images that haunted at night by the memory of being helpless and being trapped when the shots were being fired. created from your time mentored by the memory of the fear that spread in the synagogue promises you know i'm going to be on my phone and memory of parents helplessly trying to protect their crying children and therefore i thought. of all that you might have happened about asked by the fear and you just said it yourself would a nightmare like this could become now and again. we can only imagine what you are going through tom jane is not knocked over by staff and told to make a trans of it keeps and i don't think about restaurants they experience the

nightmare of the night. just minutes after firing shots at the synagogue door the perpetrator at the track attacked the restaurant with explosive devices shot to passers by at shot past and shot at passers by and murdered a patron not close range and the witnesses who experience these crimes firsthand cannot shake the images of what they saw and we feel for them as well and i'm grateful to be here today as the german president i experience in deep grief when i think of all these events going on and one year later i also feel shame and anger this 9th of october is engraved upon my memory as well it was to be a day of happiness not just far from here in light sic we wanted to commemorate the courage of the 10s of thousands who took to the streets on the 9th of november 1991

during a freedom fighting for freedom. for the respect for exam and dignity we wanted to commemorate them about the. civil rights activists that he's revolutionaries of 1990 without him the berlin wall would not have fallen and we would not be celebrating by 50 years of german unification now. but a dark shadow and fell all over our celebration and while we were still in leipzig praising the courage of those who 30 years before had brought down a dictatorship the news reached does from hala. again with much it was unclear but later the depth full dimensions of this mind secures crime and merged an extreme right terrorist of them had tried to commit a massacre and massacre on a jewish place of worship on the highest holiday in the jewish calendar out in

broad daylight at the heart of germany in germany of all places 9 young people who are of all days. this in a god was full of their congregants younger ones families with children and guests from outside of germany. the perpetrator's barbaric plan was that they would have died on him when he's almost seems like a miracle that this atrocious plan failed. other things we owe this to adore an old wooden door you know as yet and it's only it has prevented a massacre and the image of this door with it bullet holes is also something that is engraved upon my mind and then the story is a symbol for the miracle a story is a symbol for the wound that this is me. night the october tour. but for me this door is also a symbol of strength and cohesion to you and that is also

a message of the young artist lydia aid them together with the members of the church and community crafted this door into a memorial in a wonderful way i believe in a. synagogue has a new door now i need for you stronger even better 45 for you mr and. for your congregants is this is i'm sure the least that can be done but it will not allow a your fears about growing anti semitism in this country song and this too fills me with shame and anger that it is necessary to protect jewish places of work where ship in our country talk is there for jewish children which has become routine used to go to heavily guarded daycare centers and schools that jewish men and women wherever and whenever they are have to be on the alert on the street for verbal abuse being of spotted or even physically attacked or to be jewish graves

and stumbling stone memorial blocks a defiled and profane and that anti semitic incitement to hatred and violence against jews is on the increase. especially online but definitely not only there and that is when the anti semitic attacks are increasing only this week when we were shocked by the news of a for their violent and a semitic attack in front of the synagogue in hamburg my dom a downgrade in judgment i'm deeply grateful. that you did as leaders of jewish life in our country and this is why it is all the more painful to me. when jewish men and women in germany no longer feel safe here i think you know after hala. some of them are asked to publicly whether this is still their home their country side because whether the time has. come get their suit cases down from the attic as historian michel. wrote the son of 2 holocaust survivors because there have already

been so many anti-semitic attacks before this would be some happened before plus quite a while ago and their memory has faded perhaps i'm thinking of the arson attack on the jewish senior citizens home and munich commons and in which 7 people lost their lives the attackers were never from using force i thinking of the president of the number of jewish community for many years of my leave and his partner to push go back who were shot dead by a right wing extremist in their home and i'm just a few weeks after the october fest attack. wouldn't like it but evidence of these crime cannot be thank god if we relegated to the amas of history i'm thinking of all of the jewish people narcisse sides who go to the present day are victims of violent attacks on the list of anti-semitic attacks since 945

is alone one. is a list of shame. that must worry every democrat and i mean that as i get in gentlemen it is not enough to condemn an attack like the one in the target and then to return to business as usual. we must all take a clear stance on this theme a show that we will not tolerate any form of and semitism whether its old or new left wing or right wing they are here because more than that that we will actively combat it and this is a fight that every one of us must fight because anti semitism is a canary in the coal mine for the state of our democracy. and more overtly it is expressed the more our values of tolerance and respect for human dignity are under attack and this is why it must alarm us it could because when

critics of the cold 19 measures real candle board anti semitic conspiracy theories and as we experience disseminate the media millions of times over and let me say another thing it is vile truly vile and manage your money some of these critics him play. pin the yellow star on to their chests publicly this shows a blindness to history it is unbearable to house this turtle for the hatred of the accused of holloway has confessed to his crimes was not just directed at jews it was deliberate was that directed against muslims against people of ethnic minorities against women against members of the left wing. of our through the years and we read that he would have attacked a mosque then as well and i'm not out of his hatred follows the pattern we know all too well the people who are subject to the racist attributions who are read as who

believe in something other than the majority of different convictions. this hatred forces them all into groups humiliate them or excludes them and any extreme far case dehumanizing them as well this is the logic of anti semitism of racist hatred of anti muslim ricers and. homophobia of any kind of hostility to other human beings and that. could mean you're a moderate immigrants and refugees muslims are verbal abused discriminated against threatened murdered their mosques are defiled and attacked and the hatred of some goes so far that a politician like by to look forward to was murdered in cold blood because he advocated a humane view her life under the produce hatred. affects other politician most particularly on the stuff i mean i support level with life and none of this can

leave us cold. we simply cannot simply accept any of it there is a downtown there's no judgment today we commemorate the attack of how. just a few weeks ago i was speaking with the family members of victims of hand now. and just before that we commemorated munich the victims of the october fest attack 40 years before. this is done in languages along with blood stained lying on the connect these these crimes and many others as well my mind it also goes to the national socialist underground series of racist murders and the murder of a few night in brighton extremism extends far into our society and with right wing extremist terrorism which goes far back in history as this realize ation is. only emerged after the and as soon as murders might very late this must be

a warning and a mandate at one side and the case of halla and. we know who perpetrated these crimes of innocent a few may have listened but we need to know so much more than not need to get to the bottom of the moat we've just got behind this you must investigate the background of crimes like this we must unearth the networks in order to recognize these risks and to prevent these crimes wherever we can and this is 1st and foremost the job of the state and its security organs but it's important for all of us these perpetrators do not come out of nowhere. and shows up it's not just when they throw bones or light fires off fire shots. that we 1st hear of their thoughts the terrorist hull is presumed to have acted alone but he is

certainly not a longer this hatred and this is a very of the lone wolf as we know today has too often in the past distracted us from a core. terrorists like this have an environment in which they even become more radicalized they are embedded in networks in virtual ones and real honest they have supporters virtual ones and real ones mind it might this i also mean people who incite a movement hatred with words. let me say clearly mention fuck you surprised you that spread contempt and violate human dignity and try to divide this society into them and us then you are preparing in a few i enjoy the good ground for violence we must you know draw a line in the sand far more clearly this line in the sand and we do not tolerate hostility to others in our country not in words and certainly not in deeds mention

the end of munich to the mahdi and that is this year murders the murder of blood to look at how the man now you know will remember and it's fun is a responsibility. turning a blind eye is not an option for this one because it's not constitutional place this human dignity under special protection and there's is the lesson we have learned from our history of acts from which arises out of the occasion now in the present they don't fit into it is an obligation for the state. and its security forces to protect everyone no matter what racial attributions are directed at them whatever their background and faith and we must protect the jewish establishment to protect them better than this weekend we have the german government and the central council of jews in germany i've recently reached an agreement on this the federal states and the musicality was undertaking their own efforts in this regard. but ladies and gentleman put in start this one because that is it's not just the duty

of the state the constitution entails a duty for every individual every one of us who lives in this country or wants to live here is not i mean we. intervene and take a stand in the underground in the cafe on the schoolyard on the street on line with the most every single one of us must stand up for the values of our democratic states governed by the rule of law every single one of us must take a stand when the human dignity of others is being violated mentioned find with discrimination and contempt for other human beings isn't something every one of us experiences but it affects all of us because it is an attack on our open society lifton's with its drugs i do not perceive in its heart and we must not allow this in my state and i believe that most of the people in our country do not want to allow this. and so with you and let you stand together you christians jews in the

us i was believe was an atheist east and western germans newcomers to this country and long established residents not to stand together against anti-semitism racial hatred and anti muslim racism contempt for those read as others here in holland. and everywhere in germany you know and talk the night of october 1 year ago and the specter sent a horrific message you mentioned often spazzing the people on the streets of leipzig not on the night of october 30 years ago. sent a positive message they were strong. because they stood together and we have strong and if we stand together. that is the legacy that they have left us with and that is a mandate and a duty and one you know thank you.

that was german president frank valter steinmeyer speaking at the anniversary of the deadly attack in hala. is in hala and chief political correspondent political is here with me in the studio i think i'm going to start with you kate i have to tell you when i heard steinmeyer speak i thought it was fairly passionate i mean east started his speech by essentially saying by singling out the jewish community and the victims' families and saying that the german state stands behind them and then further on went to say that to express empathy i should say for this feeling this fear that they must have that this could all happen again which i thought was a little chilling what was the feeling on the ground over there. well there were some very powerful was from steinmeyer there some very moving words as well but i think the most important thing to take away from die my speech today was

very much just call on german society whoever you are wherever you are from to stand up for each other and stand together he said towards the end of his speech that we in german society and srong when we stand together and it was interesting i thought that he recalled as well the events in light of that in 1909 when demonstrators took to the streets there and began what became the the peaceful revolution and that for a long time was the was the day it was the event that was linked to the 9th of october here in germany but of course since last year's attack in holland that date baz a much so member tone as well now following the symmetric far right extremist attack here but of course this is the responsibility of german politicians all of german society and we hear a lot in germany this phrase need never again which is something that is linked to the memory culture in germany and making sure that we never forget the atrocities

that were carried out joining the by the nazis and the whole of cost but i think that needs rethinking in terms of today's setting of course the next hole of course is another hole because it's not going to happen what needs to be applied to these every day matters every day racism every day and to semitism and that's exactly what i am i was trying to point out in his speech as well the holding on citizens to stand up for others on the underground in the cafe if he sees that the rights and values the german democracy is supposed to stand for being infringed i think that was the most important message from today. melinda what was the most impressive remark in your opinion i think if i were writing the headline on this speech it would probably be his statement that anti-semitism is the canary in the coal mine of the german democracy and he later went on to talk about the central

clause in the german constitution which is the inviolability of human dignity and i think for me his message that this is something that is a duty an obligation not only of the state to protect the human dignity of all of people of every race and creed and religion but also the duty of all citizens and that violations of human dignity it's not only the shooter who is physically attacking that synagogue and hala but it's also as he said the children who go to school and perhaps on the playground hear somebody shout the word jew at them or the use of anti-semitic signs and symbols at the corona protest against corona restrictions including even people protesting those restrictions putting on yellow stars as he mentioned to indicate that they feel as oppressed as as as jews that is a violation of human dignity and i think that his calling that out and talking

about what that means for german democracy and the risk that poses to this country's very foundation in that need that never again is very powerful this is not an easy question to answer but i think it's a question that's on the lips of many people around the world who might have seen that speech do speeches like this actually make a difference as far as you're concerned. do they make a difference to the average citizen possibly but i have to tell you we talked earlier about whether this is an important day for germany yes objectively it is but subjectively the real risk on most people's minds in this country the headlines in the media is the rising rate of corona infections so will people stop and think about what the president has just said maybe some average citizens for a while but those who are radicalized on the internet those who who are subscribing to the very conspiracy theories he talked about whether it gets through to them is

a different story and much of that hinges on the security services there have been is incidences of anti-semitism and right wing thinking in germany security services themselves right there in hala the the the rabbi mentioned earlier in his own words they had asked for police protection and the police were very casual about it in fact they essentially turned them down the police also failed to notice that the shooter drove by the synagogue again after he had tried to perpetrate exactly the attack in other words the police in germany in some cases are as germans say blind in the right blind to the right wing's threat perhaps too sensitive to a potential threat from the left and that is where i think we have to see not only words but action sank you so much kate brady and also melinda crane here in the studio with me really appreciate your insights this is of course news live from

berlin our headlines. the eastern german city of holland has been marking the one year anniversary of a neo nazi terror attack on a synagogue that left 2 people dead german president frank salter shai meyer said at the ceremony that anti semitism was the canary in the coal mine for the state of the country's democracy and the more it was expressed the more german values were under attack watching the news from berlin my name is michael oku don't forget you can get all the latest.

the head of the world food program. as the agency is awarded the nobel peace prize . welcome to the program germany is marking the one year anniversary of a deadly attack on a synagogue in the eastern city of hala the attack took place on the jewish holiday of poor the assailant failed to breach the synagogue front door but gunned down 2 people outside in his speech at the commemoration ceremony in hala german president. said he felt a deep sadness but also shame and anger over the attack one year ago and over the rise in anti semitism and racism germany has seen lately let's listen to more of what the german president had to say. ladies and gentlemen it is not enough to

condemn an attack like the one in august and then to return to business as usual. we must take a clear stance on this we must show that we will not tolerate any form of. the whether it's old or new left wing or right wing they are you more than that that we will actively combat it and this is a fight that every one of us must fight because anti semitism is a canary in the core mind for the state of our democracy. and more overtly it is expressed the more our values of tolerance and respect for human dignity are under attack. political correspondent kate brady is in hall in eastern germany where the memorial ceremony has taken place kate good to see you again said anti semitism is a canary in the coal mine for the state of our democracy that's

a stark warning from the german president. it certainly is stock warning and similar to words that we've fortunately had to hear from shimei on previous occasions as well following this attack in year ago and also other similar fall rights extremist attacks so clearly under semitism is a growing problem in germany and that's something that the that the that the head of the german domestic intelligence agency reiterated again today as well and there really was a very clear message from president. this evening on german society to stand together and stand up against any kind of hatred whether that be anti semitism xenophobia or islamophobia whether it be in a cafe or in an underground and he it was a very summed up in a very poignant phrase when he said simply we are strong when we stand together and so he called on german society as a day to stop turning

a blind eye to these kinds of events if democracy is going to really live up to its true values and the values germany stands for will be infringed. what have people there been saying to you about this day and what it means to them. well of course it's been a very somber day today here in hallett but also a time to reflect on what's happened in germany in the last year both for the jewish community here in the city but also nationwide of course has been increased police presence at several synagogues schools kindergartens across the country in over the last year but this discourse really needs to be extended further than just paying the security here in germany a lot of people still feel that politicians and all forty's just quite gotten a grasp on exactly what the problem here is and that it isn't just focused on on to

semitism but any kind of hatred anything any kind of hate against any minority here in germany and the discourse needs to be widened in order for this issue what specially if all right extremism to be ready tackled well that's a good segue into my next question we have about a minute for this how large is the threat from right wing extremism in germany. well the former minister repeated again today saying that far right extremism is the biggest threat facing germany right now and we have been indeed seen the number of far right extremist crimes double in the last 2 years 3 is here in germany this really is a growing concern especially for security and intelligence agencies here in germany but of course this didn't come out of nowhere and there is growing criticism

increasingly there are more stories being heard of reports of suspected far right extremism even in german institutions as well and also criticism of how police of handle previous cases of fall right extremism there is of course launched a lot of criticism as well that for many many years both german politicians and german authorities have been turning a blind eye to the true extent of the church threat right extremism here in germany but of course there is still time to tackle that and one of the main places is a middle east to tackle that right now is online as well it does seem to be the case that a lot of these fall right radicals all being radicalized online which was also the case over the suspected perpetrator hit in hell as well thanks for that. german chancellor angela merkel has met with the mayors of germany's largest 11 cities to discuss further measures they can take to reduce the spread of the krona

virus germany has recorded over 4000 new infections for 2 straight days the highest level since april berlin in munich have responded to rising infection rates with new restrictions in a press conference on friday merkel said it was important to contain the outbreak before the onset of winter and restrictions could be tightened different factions continue to spike she appealed directly to the young generation to do their bit to beat the pandemic. now please think about what is most important for you is it not the health of your family including your grandparents. is it not also your priority to have a good education and to have a good career on things that are dependent on a healthy economy. is it then not worth being a little patient and enduring a few restrictions on party image i mean by which i am temporary and are aimed at keeping the infections under a certain threshold and in fact. she will go back to partying to

going out and having fun without corona restrictions but right now other things are important being aware and showing solidarity is a mild earlier we spoke with your job as chief political editor michelle of course now and asked why merkel in particular addressed germany's younger generation we saw the german chancellor today appeals of the younger generation because that's where a lot of this infection is coming from and that's a significant difference to the initial outbreak where it was very much focused on those risk groups older people going to machall today held a video call with the mayors of the 11 biggest cities here in germany their conclusion her conclusion is that in those incentives it will be decided whether any loses control of this corona pandemic those are the was that the german chancellor used so once again

a very dramatic appeal to the public to follow those 8888 regulations so basically keeping distance wearing the mask and making sure that you simply listen to what local regulation is in place at that particular moment in time. the united nations world food program has won the 2020 nobel peace prize the norwegian nobel committee honored the u.n. agency for fighting global hunger and the use of hunger as a weapon of war the committee also said the award was a call to the international community not to understand underfund the f.p. . it's perhaps the most prestigious award in the world the nobel peace prize is craved by world leaders including one of this year's nominees stunnel tramp but the jury decided to honor an organization not a politician for promoting peace the prize came with an urgent appeal with

this year's award than the weeds nobel and the committee wishes to turn the eyes of the world towards the millions of people who suffer from a face the threat of hunger the world the world food program plays a key role in multilateral cooperation on making food security an instrument of peace last year the world food programme fed millions of people at risk of starvation. the un body is active in 88 countries. this has made it an agent of peace says the nobel committee. the link between hunger and armed conflict is a vicious circle of war and conflict can cause food

insecurity and hunger just as hunger and food insecurity can cause latent conflicts to flare up and trigger the use of violence. as the winner was announced in oslo there was joy and surprise at the w.f. paid real. i mean this is the 1st time in my life of this beach this one. doesn't believe we will talk about the most exciting point in time in your life is the nobel peace prize it is because of the the family they're out there in the most difficult complex places all in the world where this war conflict climate extremes it doesn't matter they're out there and they deserve this award and wow wow wow wow mark it will even that won't be much time to celebrate 175000000 people suffered

from a key tanga in 2019 the most in here is challenges that the coronavirus conflict and climate change ensure that the well of the well food program is not about to get any easier. joining us from the world food program is matthew hollingworth he is the country director at the piano speaking to us from juba the capital of south sudan and appreciate your joining us matthew how do you feel about the job you have to be winning this year's nobel peace prize i think i have an idea where i'm going are going on 1200 strong of us in the world food program in south sudan one of the largest operations in the world and we go oh. by the decision of the committee to give this amazing always. give us a quick sense of the extent to which the global food security crisis is being used as a as a weapon of war in certain regions. there and everywhere where there are the

690000000 people who go to go hungry every night the vast majority of those countries are countries that face conflicts and violence and that's typically the common denominator and what we want to do is ensure that he is to help those people with immediate relief but also to support them get through that period where we can help bring peace to our country as well because. from our experience the majority of countries that come out of conflict go back into conflict if people stay hungry if there is still instability in their country and that's all right and that's a role that we take very very seriously what can be done to avoid another global food security crisis such as the one we're witnessing now. well i'm going to the moment like i said the common denominator in the vast majority of countries where starvation or monitor or keep our interest and hunger is the norm the common demand

nominate her is conflict to bring an end to conflicts we can already make an enormous change to people's lives because with stability with peace comes the opportunity to really invest in development and resilience building and livelihoods building that those areas of work hard to do when you're in a complex conflict prices matthew just in one sentence what are you going to do tonight. well i've got a few more interviews to do but then i'm going to go sit in a few glasses of beer with my team and celebrate their work got us here over the last few years center matthew hollingsworth from the world food program thank you so much and again congratulations to you and your team. you're watching news from berlin next stop is d. w. business with stephen beardsley don't forget you can get all the latest news and
