normally. this look of shock like wow there's a jew at our school dance about. 11 teenagers 11 stories. i'm jewish and so. young german and jewish starts february 22nd on d w. o everyone and welcome to focus on europe with me conor dillon it's nice to be here with you today we begin with a pretty difficult story out of germany here right wing terror is on the rise and just a year ago that fact was made clear in a horrific attack in the city of hono there a right wing extremist wandered through the city and deliberately killed 9 people

all of them from immigrant families the question is why didn't police stop the perpetrator sooner it's a question asked not just by the relatives of those who died one of those relatives is chatty and grew to who lost his brother in that attack he and his family have been left to wonder how this act of violence could have happened in a country like germany which is where they immigrated to from turkey one answer from experts is that right wing extremists are organizing more and more professionally and have weapons at their disposal and that was the case in hono where a mass murderer was able to walk around on a shooting spree unhindered leaving behind a trail of tragedy. jetson and merits go to going to have returned to the place in one hour one year ago the brother and uncle goo can go to was murdered double digits like my brother's body was over there by the power sockets god's blessing blue lights people everywhere at 1st we didn't realize what had happened. chetan

and marat hurried to the crime scene shortly after the attack on february 19th 2020 toby's our had already murdered 9 people on a foreign descent. then he killed his mother and took his own life 37 year old girl kind was one of the victims. since then life has been very different for the girl to can family his mother now depends on medication to cope with her loss soon after coogan's death his father lost his battle with cancer his brother chetan and his son are too traumatized to work. their group was or bedrock. is incidental to have lost our bedrock. is the walls are swaying so to speak the bond market moment when i put the past year there has not

been a single night that i slept through. you can no longer sleep because when you put your head down on the pillow at night when it's dark cold and and they're consumed by questions the shift is pleasant. the family home ok did near one who kind died soon became too much for them to bear so they moved. now shares a room with us father chet and. i couldn't deal with it and in our old apartment i can see. completely empty that's why i need to share in. the. first sorrow is mixed with a growing feeling of anger so i need. past year been venting our anger expressing our anger to the day but nothing has been achieved even if there's nothing really to. accomplish something it's let us know we're absolutely nowhere and the

politicians just look at us and smile the bereaved to say that it's not enough they've teamed up with supporters to set up the february 1000 initiative they want the german authorities to accept responsibility for the attack why the mentally ill attacker have a firearms license why was the police emergency line apparently not sufficiently staffed on the night of the crime neither has its interior ministry nor the how police were willing to talk to us about the attack unlike the german police trade union. for the pulitzer i didn't see how the police could have prevented this of they had done something differently such i do not see them as being responsible. in hindsight it is easy to see the police should have had previous knowledge chetan go to concerns he no longer feel safe in germany he's scared to walk through hanna ike night and worries when his son comes home late. because right wing extremist

attacks experts say are on the rise in germany criminal ziyad boy he very clearly needs strong prevention against right wing extremism 6 times that means dealing with the issue early mr preventively fall boyband and their misson you have to be ahead of the situation so to speak and not just in all this think of something you can do in law enforcement and security work after something has happened and not deem it was the right thing extremist attitudes are there beforehand and they'd then motivate people to join to ruin a zation. cause the can just call in people to show solidarity i remain vigilant and help me in mine and tucker destroyed my life it took everything from me. on this victim. i never harmed anyone this is why this past year we have been fighting together for justice and for a proper investigation. after

this was filmed the hano police told us that they do plan to increase police presence throughout the city so that they can detect potential acts of violence as quickly as possible it was a political earthquake in the netherlands prime minister mark rutte and his entire cabinet resigned just a few weeks ago the reason tax authorities were targeting thousands of parents parents like janet ram asar unjustly they accuse these parents of having illegally obtained child benefit payments for years well that turned out to be false but by then these families had been plunged into financial chaos they're now demonstrating in the hague what they're demanding is help and also reparations.

has come because she's lost almost everything like so many others here. so i'm very nervous it's not something you do every day but there are i expect that they will listen to us roger derek's is also doing what he can to encourage himself and the others with. what skills we want to know where we stand. we want to do this for all of us. under. roster derrickson johnette romas are joined forces to organize this demonstration they are among thousands of parents who were unjustly suffered financial hardship and shame because of the dutch finance authorities following a number of fraud cases measures were increased to crackdown on people suspected of making illegal benefits claims including zhang net and roger a look back roger derrick's remembers the morning 11 years ago when his doorbell rang and a debt collector was standing outside as you see here we have an amount of what

they are asking back from us 35000. and that was one of our 1st letters we got. and we thought her oh what is this i don't know if you have 30000 on your bank account i didn't. so yeah there was a guy standing in my door with a letter and he said well you know when you pay derek's couldn't pay and tried to prove his innocence the authorities accused his family of defrauding them of 60000 euros in child benefits and took harsh action. they claim 40 percent of your salary every month they can take away your car when you're driving on the highway at a certain point there is no way out you start doubting each other that you fill in the tax papers good every day to struggle with the money so. the intensity

of the of the pressure. of everything at certain point that this not. to control anymore being prosecuted in stigmatized as the fraudster also destroyed john nash from a star's life she too was to pay back thousands of euros in child benefits as a single mother she often had to survive on just 25 euros a week what i was doing was i didn't eat 1st because my son he needs to eat so i didn't eat and when i started to eat i couldn't digest my food because my body was rejecting everything. 2 years ago 2019 when i took my son from me also you know you can't take care of him and i was like yeah but there is a reason it's the tax office and losing your child because of the government this shouldn't happen with anybody after a long period of depression she is now allowed to see her son for just 2 and

a half days a month but she's regained the strength to take action in november 2019 a group of parents went to the tax office and they said they demanded their follows i saw that the images of the people in the news and i was like hey dude that's my story. dandle became public shortly afterwards the dutch authorities responded to a inquiry saying due to a combination of strict legislation and severe anti-fraud activities by the dutch tax authorities thousands of parents ended up in financial problems this never should have happened the government apologized and promised to compensate each of those affected with 30000 euros but many parents have yet to see the money now they have had enough and demands for answers are growing among other questions why were families of migrant backgrounds principle targets in january the pressure on the government reached such heights that prime minister mark little resigned he now remains in office as caretaker pm and try to explain why the compensation payments

are taking so long. that they have in many cases debts. to the electricity company etc and if we give them the money to assure that the money immediately. gets. only the money yes. but also to make sure that they can make a new start. rutan invited some of the families to his official residence the meeting lasted 6 hours. his star was one of the last to leave. they really listened to us and they understand things much better now so i think it was good that we were here. son had the chance to vent his own pain in frustration and janette can look forward to future meetings she says now she wants to look ahead

and find happiness again. there between the ages of 15 and 27 they're successful and they were even invited to the women of the world festival in london last year that's pretty cool even cooler though the fact that their style of music rap music is just it's not something female musicians are supposed to do where they're from. they're roma from serbia and in their very traditional society where men are often brutally suppressed but these singers are now helping to give women a voice. there's. no man there'll be no you're not deep enough for her. she got. her. summons at the concert let's see if that's.

to make their own life choices. and. it is tension at the age of the menace of art my grandparents mean everything to me i love them so much and i'm glad we live with em both. mr clyde and. any. human being they think you know about me and to see i'm going to get them. to give me a pretty loud began in 2014 and serve as a social project aimed at giving young room over them and the same rights and freedoms as remote men enjoy the women sing in 3 different languages romani serbian and english their biggest success so far was their appearance at the women of the world festival in london it's. a common. thing they join us. to have confidence and look beyond their family

for their role models they find them on the internet social media are also changing room a society europe's largest ethnic minority even so nothing is more important to god than family almost every day she takes her nieces and nephews out for a last day to are growing up without a mother a quarter of their walking through was poor but if it says she likes it here the communities tightly knit the people help one another. and that is seen as the morning light and you get out. there quarter mojado plays a big role in this video it's easy for young people to lose their way here as a roma on the edge of society there are the big disadvantage drug use is rampant. obviously because of the a problem what i wish for most from my quarter or at least what i would change is to get rid of the drugs here. there are lots of kids here and just like their

parents i'm worried that they'll come in contact with drugs and ruin their lives and have a joke on that so i knew my wanted to spoil him. so for years no you just because done volunteer over appeared to seem so. project that launched the girl group she helps the kids with their homework so they'll make it to school. the coop has their be her space one floor up. they're working on a new song everyone who wants to can join it it's meant to be fun he says as if because best friend sylvia but now far more is at stake fish even want 100 girls in this quarter look up to us that's a major responsibility and we have to take it on because we live here together and we're a major role model that's a large responsibility. and we're fighting for equality and against discrimination and we want the same rights as men. it's

a big challenge i've got 2 jobs and i'm raising a child that's not easy but if you really want something then anything's possible wash that's the mark of the heart i'm like that's the energy that pretty doubt passes on to their fans and who knows maybe one day they'll be really famous got. this here is a home where the rich and privileged have lived for hundreds of years the english aristocracy you know they feel very committed to their traditions which include something called male succession that means daughters cannot inherit this in the 21st century well some ladies like charlotte carroll poll don't want to put up with that any more. downton abbey fans know the story the family has 3 daughters but there is a danger that the inheritance will go to a distant male cousin who no know whose it is

a true story inspired by an ancestor of by counting torrington who is also not the same fate. he has 3 daughters which means his title will also go to a cousin in canada and not to his eldest daughter how to what else can one say but its was fruitless you know when it would have been noise perhaps a book there will you come to terms with why i came to terms with it quite quickly that that was you know the how of you see it as a with fullness and this is sort of. kind of sense isn't it the unfairness that it's been going to canada the other side of the world purely because i'm a girl and my sister's a girl's i mean that seems. extraordinary really and this is one of the few remaining for. women or definitely just remember to go. change. charlotte's current polls is much more determined to change things and his campaigning for

a long and that will put an end to this age old grievance in doing so she has caused considerable unrest in english aristocratic circles there is great support there circusy you can look at the popularity of the royal family in town to a happy and like it or not this is the way our society is currently structured and it's going to remain like this for a while so if we do you say that we have to make sure that we don't support gender discrimination within it. sure not comes from a normal middle class family as a young woman she married the son of the thirty's baron richard caro polls who's ancestral home is in cornwall. but then in 2015 her 1st born was a girl. and the reaction of those around her was different from what she had expected the implication was you could by not having a son and let your family down or. say that you must try again for a better outcome and that better outcome sure but i'm able to say anything

because takes a while to her to understand that people still think that still think that way and 2015 the queen had already realized this in 2013. and she changed the line of succession in the royal family. is really kate's 1st child had been a girl she would have eventually become queen. but the english nobility that not follow suit in 2014 a bill to this effect was rejected by the house of lords that's also to primes women of the ability to hereditary right to a seat here. one of the other men's opposers to change in the law that bars daughters from becoming hereditary peers is lowered triggered it's extremely complicated. because every period she's created separately i think

that there are many people who disagree with the whole notion of inheriting a period anyway i mean is it really sensible to open up a can of worms yes if i think to to to try to modify the peerage to bring something that is not more than. up to date in some respects runs the risk of damaging what the just a must see it has and its connection with our history. tania field see is things quite differently without the male rights of inheritance she would as the eldest daughter be lady of michael's field and the higher rest of the motive sherburne castle which now stands empty after only family disputes over inheritance . at age 17 tiny decided to escape to the normal world.

she has been living and working as a social worker in one of the pursed corners of oxford ever since her colleagues at the community center you know nothing of her aristocratic background. i don't do you know about my background so that you know you don't think. i will be a mark my father is a no 33 on the back of. yes or recently my time late on. you know m r i just come in and i don't think it makes that if anything i know nothing. of the show time you have to say quite yeah. i really didn't had to study very you know i don't i think if you live in traditional south i would have probably something that. i would not know. and i'm tippett yeah this is exactly why tanya avoids mentioning her background the title is such means little to her but

she does not miss her old life i found generally people are very inward looking and they were very samey people from the same background so if you had a discussion you could never get a different point of view a few notes it was really difficult and i like i like people i really enjoy they are my favorite species that's a fascinating sometimes that but they are always interesting nevertheless fighting and the complaining against the male rights of inheritance she wants the law to change so she can sit in the house of lords because i think i can make a real impact that. i can bring in really different life experiences. i don't just rip and cut i do it and that gives you a very different perspective. since they are not sure if they will find enough supports in britain china has also brought their case to the european court of

human rights. and we know that we are writing a role that is long and the time has come for this to change. in any case they will not rest until the english aristocracy agrees to modernize its views on women's rights. wouldn't we wonderful to go to the circus again those high wire act the clowns and the fire because there's always fire well at a time when we are stuck in our homes through the corona lockdowns it would be such a relief and especially for kids while artist and brussels have come up with a magical alternative. behind this bar window it's show time acrobats in brussels have come up to the unique way to perform during the pandemic . the circus is open to passers by but a little time on their hands. especially the young spectators are fascinated.

one child cries out this is magic. the artists are happy to be close to their audience again. in a completely new form of performance. because people's faces are covered with masks we country to see the reactions and expressions on top of that glass window muffles the sound. still we managed to connect with our audience yankee sic a the bar owner is also enthusiastic about the windows circus performance and warms my heart that i can open the bar and welcome the performers inside the show put smiles on people's faces which is the best thing that could happen in these times. to help the performers earn a little money the audience can make a donation through their cellphones. a circus in the city provides a brief escape from reality into a world of fantasy. well

here's to hoping that they can magically make the pandemic just go away till i see you next week and stay safe out there. folks moved.

into the conflict zone to sebastian. this year to stop growth for the european commission in its rollout of the code of nigeria vaccine has been widely slews too little too late for guesses we from brussels or the great commission moderators show us the new initiative be enough to silence the criticism of the commission on the challenges of incumbency conflicts of. 90 minutes on d w. what keeps us in shape what makes us see and how do
