9:03 pm
and munich on friday. and for the lack of clarification afterwards. jessica, she incur the fact that what happened was could happen this minute freshman man. it is my duty in my need to acknowledge our german responsibility and here and now here on and for the future on for you to come to live up to the shine my a speech that was a significant moment for the victims, families, jim who had threatened to boycott the ceremony after battling for decades for fair compensation from the german government prepared for an attack of disk. but shortly before the anniversary to the 2 parties finally agreed on a 28000000 euro compensation package before it came to that one survivor ocoee spitzer. read a letter to her husband andre i sent in a fencing master and coach who was one of the victims of the massacre. i will never stop talking about it so that that will never ever happen again. and those who were
9:04 pm
responsible for it will pay the price. please forgive me on the day that it took me so long. although we have finally after 50 years, reached our goals. at the end of the day, you are still gone and nothing can change that. ah, the jewish chamber, orchestra of munich performed moving interludes between speeches by israel's precedent. isaac hartzog, as well as several german officials who echoed president stein myers apology, or for germany's role in the massacre. i didn't help and after all was said that there was a minute of silence as photos of the victims were shown though they died 50 years ago. the loved ones who survived them say the pain of losing them has never left and kai schiller is with us. now he is a cultural historian at the university of durham in the united kingdom. he co authored the book that 1972 munich olympics and the making of modern germany,
9:05 pm
mister shill. i welcome an official apology to day half a century after the events. what took so long? i did several, several things took so long for one. the generation on addition to was in charge in the seventy's has now died. i think the last sort of living witness off in terms of german politics. they may have new was instrumental in bringing the game tonight a couple of years ago. so it made it easy. i think it makes it, he gets a chance to rational change to apologize for something like that. the other big reason, i think if you could say this is pop cynical, germany wanted to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the games and without a german apology, without the sort of agreement that germany, israeli started, commissions would be set up without compensation payments and significant compensation payments, i think the relatives of the victims with uncle spits and the lead would have never
9:06 pm
agreed to come. and i think the point of it, basically, germany was put in a corner and then in a way, rightly so, because if the, if it's a very long time, it was absolutely over due for this to happen. now the compensation deal that you talked about, and then we also heard about in the report was a fairly last minute agreement. wasn't it? after a really long dispute? will this be enough for the families of the victims? i would, i would assume. so, i mean, i think i just need to set this in the clip that you just play in the letter that she wrote to a husband that she thought this would bring, even if there was no closure. if i have a losing prob, probably bring some closer in terms of how she dealt, how she related to the driving warranty, but it wasn't just the money, was obviously also the acknowledgment of job and responsibility acknowledgement of the failure in protecting these railey athletes. acknowledgement of the repression of that memory or that pushing away of that memory for
9:07 pm
a long time that made possible make it possible for him to, to, to, to come to munich and participate in this very high profile. so many i should say there's never been any such that of big memorial ceremony before where he is really president and as well as the german president, as well as the high ranking politicians at the federal level at land level regional level, as well as that city level participated in the place essentially where this happened, meaning the, the port interesting side book that we are writing 50 years of this massacre. and there are still many unanswered questions about what when so terribly wrong at the games? do you think we'll ever get a full picture of what happened? well, they should, i mean, it should be possible now with this kind of like an honest man because it's also kind of sort of be because these days because he is previous politicians go along
9:08 pm
around. so i think it's safe, you know, for august and so on. to open the archive to this down number and the questions i'm beginning with whether there were what exactly the links were between the black september commando and the german extreme right. we know from a recent book that network connections between the right brain, extremist and the, the black september command over have of command out. also the connections with the extreme left, the red army faction that's never been clarified completely. then why was it that the bible is it, that the israeli athletes were put up in a relatively easily penetrated ball building and that was enough. been another thing that needs to be cleared up and finally cops also
9:09 pm
very important. why was it possible for the surviving house didn't yet, and then terrorists to be exchanged for a hijacked left handed to go not long after the after the event. and there's always been room that there was a sort of secret deal between the german government and the p l. o. and these, these, these questions need to be answered and they need to be virtually. and i hope that the terminus railey start commission of historians will be able to do a lot of work ahead. so i do want to ask you about the subtitle of your book. how did the munich olympics shape modern germany? i think maybe to explain that the title of the book is not so much about how they shake germany rather than how they reflected the modern germany as it sort of appeared in 1970. to wrap this long phase of modernization in the 960 in german society and 972 is kind of
9:10 pm
a metaphor for all the things that kind of change to jim society. including, if you wish, the kind of rejection of military power and, and disregard for policing, which actually made the attack possible. and just one of the big changes. but it, lots of other ways german society changed the relationship east, germany sides. and in that way, the title actually reflect is more, it's more, it's more about the making up, the more than germany as a matter of, you know, the games as a matter of making. ready i mean it's and thank you so much chrysler. he's a professor of modern european history at durham university. thank you very much for having me. after a bitter contest lift trust has been elected leader of britain's conservative party and will become the case next. prime minister. this follows 2 months of campaigning,
9:11 pm
sparked by the resignation of prime minister orest johnson. the economy is said to be the new prime minister's most pressing task with the u. k. facing a cost of living crisis and storing energy charges in her acceptance speech, trust promise to tackle those challenges. head on i will deliver a bold plan to cut taxes and grow our economy. i will deliver on the energy crisis dealing with people's energy bills, but also dealing with the long term issues we have on energy supply. peggy math is our correspondent in london and joins me now. big and trust. inherits a country very much in crisis. what are the biggest issues she'll have to address? the most pressing issue for her is the cost of living crisis. britain's have seen real wages falling to historic low, and at the same time, inflation has been rising, its over 10 percent at the moment and there are some phone calls that are
9:12 pm
predicting that it could rise up to 20 percent in the coming months. so that's already for a lot of people are very dire economic situation. but on top of that, britain like other europeans, they are facing increasing energy costs. and this is due to the war and ukraine we're britain. this is subject to that, the high energy prices that other european countries are facing too. but for many people here it's, it's, it's a huge problem. britain is one of the most unequal countries in the developed world . and for many people here, it might be a question of whether they can afford to heat the homes or to feed their families. so this is a huge list of problems for louis frost that she has promised to tackle. but we don't know her plan just yet. that would be my next question. do we know how she is planning on dealing with these problems?
9:13 pm
you say no. brits are very much in the dark so well, one of the buzzwords also campaign was clear plan, but she hasn't really flashed out how exactly is she going to help people when it comes particularly to energy bill, she has said there will be no hand out this is not how she wants to go about things . there is a debate about her wider economic plans and she is known as somebody who is a free market tier. she has said there will be tax cuts. but how is she going to finance that when she also will have to help people somehow with the energy caught stay at the moment. we don't know details, but we know that in general she is somebody who, who, who does not believe in the redistribution, but she wants to grow the economy by cutting taxes. and she will really have to explain to the british people how exactly is that going to help those people who are already feeding the squeeze and the hardest way, and literally put the money where the mouth is. let's look at the bigger picture
9:14 pm
relations between the u. k and brussels have been tense for quite some time now. is that likely to change under less trust? you thank well list trust as the foreign secretary has already been responsible for relations with the european union up to an extend and at the moment and really not at the best. she has kept this thread on the table. she threatens to basically walk away from part of the divorce steel that her predecessor boys johnson had negotiate yet negotiated with the european union does is about the tensions and northern ireland. and she has at the moment, not being very conciliatory when she was recently asked whether president, mar, cron, of france, is a friend or foe. she has said that the jury is out, so she hasn't identified president mark wrong. one of the most important partners as a lot of british people will probably see him as a friend and that has earned her
9:15 pm
a lot of criticism. so at the moment the in the goes, the relations with the european union are really not that they're best. they're quite sour and she hasn't indicated that she's doing anything in the near future to change that. thank you very much. big mass in london. us now take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world today. a court in russia has sentence, former journalist even suffer unarmed 22 and t, 2 years on charges of high treason and spying, suffering of plead not guilty, saying he was only engaged in journalistic activities. saffron off will have to serve his sentence in a maximum security facility. the german government has announced plans to delay the de commissioning of 2 of its last 3 nuclear power plants. the 2 facilities were set to be shut off mid april 2023. they will now be put on reserve

in case they're needed to stabilize the electricity grid in southern germany this winter. oh there is, and sheila has overwhelmingly rejected a new constitution that would have replaced the existing one adopted during the pino chest dictatorship. the proposed draft would have been one of the most progressive constitutions on the planet. chili's president gabriella board h has announced talks to find a way to restart the drafting process to move it in. kenny, as supreme court has rejected challenges to the presidential election result upholding william rooters victory router was declared the winner by a narrow margin in mid august, but opposition candidate rayleigh dingo had pointed to irregularities and presented a petition to the court. some members of the electoral commission that validated the vote had themselves earlier disowned the result of dingo says he respects the supreme court's decision,

9:20 pm
