♪ >> this is dw news life from berlin. just three days before whether britain decides to stay in the european union or leave, element has met to honor one of its own. mp's have been called to the interview to jo cox -- to pay tribute to jo cox. the latest polls now give a slight lead to the campaign to keep britain in the eu. also, it was supposed to be a temporary solution, but 25 years

later, kenya's refugee camp is still there. we will ask our africa correspondent why authorities now want to close it. and german prosecutors set their sights on this man. did ex-volkswagen ceo martin winterkorn withhold information to protect its share price? ♪ brent: it is good to have you with us. campaigning is going into high gear across britain tonight with just three days to go before the historic referendum on the country's membership in the european union. members of parliament put politics aside for part of the day as they honored their colleague, jo cox. she was a vocal opponent of the brexit campaign. she was murdered last week in

investigators has the not ruled out a political motive. reporter: two flowers lay in jo cox's empty seat in parliament as mp's gathered to honor. david cameron said her life and work spoke for itself. >> the outpouring of unity we have seen in the past few days shall the extraordinary reach and impact of her message. for in remembering jo, we show what she said to be true and i know to be quoted many times today -- we are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us. reporter: divisive lines drawn especially in the you referendum campaign. jeremy corbyn called for kinder politics in britain. >> will have a responsibility in this house and beyond not to whip up hatred or division. reporter: he said the attack on

cox appeared increasingly to be politically-motivated. the british public also continues to mourn her passing. she was shot and stabbed on thursday, mere days away from her 42nd birthday and the referendum. cox had been campaigning for continued british membership in the european union. while the outcome of that vote is not yet clear, what is certain is that her message of unity and togetherness has been welcomed by many. brent: let's pull in our correspondent joining us from london. we know that campaigning has resumed for the brexit camps. the death of jo cox, can we talk in definite terms how her death has affected these campaigns? >> not in definite terms. people really hopeful that the

effect would have been somehow not so noisy and sharp debate and a little bit more subdued and going back to fax and arguments as opposed to just emotions in whipping up years with the public for each of the campaign caps on. -- camps. but we have seen since yesterday, there is increasingly -- one of the main leaders of the brexit camp accused david cameron of exploiting the murder for his own cause. pretty sharp accusation. and we have seen that there is not a lot of holding back even though we have seen people in the parliament today, everybody spoke very movingly about -- they were also saying we have to have less hatred and be less divisive, but we have not seen

it. brent: let me pick up on what you just mentioned. accusing the prime minister of exploiting the death of jo cox. is that a feeling that is widely held in the u.k.? do people see that as explication? birgit: i think it is actually the opposite. this killing has really drawn attention to some of the tactics that both campaigns have used, the tactics. but probably more so the brexit camp who has really whipped up years against immigrants and he is one of those who has been in the front line. he had launched a poster which showed refugees from syria trying to get to the slovenian border. they had insinuated that these people are going to invade the eu and are going to invade

britain and britain stays in the eu. it was pretty harsh and i think this is more prevalent feeling that a lot of people -- i spoke to one friend who said i have really changed from wanting to leave to wanting to say. the xenophobia explosions are campaigning from the brexit side. brent: thank you. what does the eu think about the prospect of britain going its own way? for ministers met in luxembourg today. the focus of the talks was sanctions against russia but several ministers voiced concern about that brexit possibility. we asked our correspondent to sum up the mood in luxembourg. reporter: before and in luxembourg set the clear message to the united kingdom. the first part was u.k., please stay in the european union.

the second part of that message was if you decide not to stay in the european union, that means this is definitive. how is out, -- out is out. other than that, the authorities of the eu institutions, most cap quiet. they still have their vow of silence, something they agreed on with david cameron. he said just let me do that, because the bad image that the eu institutions and especially brussels has, the deal was the other leaders would stay out of it and david cameron would deliver a yes for the referendum on thursday. so far the institutions and other leaders have kept their part of the bargain. now it is up to cameron to keep his part. brent: the united nations says that record numbers of people were forced from their homes last year, many because of war and persecution.

in a new report to coincide with world refugee day, the unacr says that when a city 5 million people around the world, and astonishing number, displacing 2015. that is the highest number that has ever been record. most sock refuge within their own country. about 21 million were forced to seek slter abroad, usually in neighboring countries. most of them came, believe it or not, from just three countries on the planet. syria, afghanistan, and a little bit more than one million from somalia. many of the world displaced somalis, they live in kenya and the massive refugee camp. it was first set up as a stopgap solution but a court of a century later it is still there. authorities now say they want to close it for good and 70 people who live there back to a country that many have never seen before.

reporter: some quarters here look like an ordinary african city, with bus stops, stationery shops and promises. the refugee camp was set up 25 years ago. most of its 350,000 refugees come from somalia. many of them were born here. but now it is supposed to be shut down, and the majority of his residence sent back to somalia. >> we cannot return to somalia, there is no peace there and with no peace there's no life. we simply cannot exist there. reporter: kenya has announced plays to close the camp within the next six months. >> the reason can you decided to close the camp is because of security concerns and also the camp has become most a training ground for terrorists, a place where terrorists will come and chain -- train and hide their

ambitions. reporter: the government has failed to provide concrete evidence to support that statement. no one from dadaab has ever been arrested as a terrorist suspect. >> they saw the european union decision, the decision to give the president 3 billion euros. also an eu policy to try to put money on the table to keep the immigrants in the country. yes, it was a time when probably the kenyan government thought, look, this is a burden we need to get paid for. reporter: the kenyan government is gambling with his future. he was born in dadaab and set up a small business year. for him, relocating to somalia is not an option. >> the kenyan government is refusing the refugees. that will cost them to go the

other way. some of them, they die in the seas. reporter: he fears being used by a bargaining chip by the kenyan government. he says he and others in the camp want to live normal lives without the refugee label. >> these are foreigners, they are not kenyans. there is a nationality connection. at the end of the day, they are better off being in somalia where they can own their land, they can help develop the country. reporter: born in kenya but treated as foreigners. once registered in dadaab, no one can leave and register in kenya. their future is filled with fear and uncertainty. brent: let's pull in our

correspondent and nairobi. good evening to you. when we look at this plan in kenya, the first question that an outsider is going to ask is why now after all this time? >> there are two theories because no one knows for certain except the government. the government of any has officially said it is because of a security concern. there have been links between the militants and some activity either in or around the camp, that's the biggest reason for closing down. there's also politics which is being seen as a play here. at a the elections kenya to be using this as a plan to get more votes. brent: there are hundreds of somalis -- hundreds of thousands of somalis at this camp. if going back to kenya is not an

option, what are you going to do? -- they going to do? >> not much. a lot of them say they are waiting to live out the rest of their lives in that camp. a lot of them expressing fear him as saying they cannot go back to the land where they came from because it is still very insecure. a lot of the provinces they would be relocated to are still quite unstable. these are the concerns they are expressing. brent: let's go back to that point about critics say in the camp has become a breeding ground for extremism and radicalization. is there evidence to support that? edith: the kenyan police did say they managed to raid what they termed as an ongoing plan to attack can you buy a terrorist cell. they said they were located not too far from the camp. another thing the kenyan

officials are always saying is that the somali militias are able to integrate into the camps and becomes difficult to tell them apart from the real refugees, then they use those opportunities to infiltrate the cities and conduct attacks. the biggest concern is that you cannot police a refugee camp. they are not able to do thaoris. brent: makes you wonder at the end of the day, who is in charge at the cap. edith, it is good to see you. edith: good to see you. brent: still to come, the city of rome has elected its first female mayor. there she is. she is part of the antiestablishment five-star movement and she won with a sweeping move -- victory. we'll tell you about that when we come back.

plus, daniel be here with all the latest business headlines. stick around come we back in 60 seconds.

♪ brent: welcome back. live from berlin, our top stories -- with just three days to go before you decide whether or not to stay in the european union, parliament has paused to remember a passionate member of the remaining campaign, mp jo cox was killed in her constituency last thursday. they were cameron says she proved politics can be a force for good in the world. the mainstream political parties in italy, they are still

digesting the surprise results of sunday's local elections. the antiestablishment five-star movement made sweeping gains in a number of cities. one of its candidates, you see her right here. she has become the first female mayor of rome and she has become that on a promise to clean things up and bring transparency to what she calls the capitals corrupt politics. reporter: meeting next mayor of wrong. she is 37 years -- of rome. she is 37 years old, married with one child. and she is now the city's first female mayor. she runs sunday's runoff in a landslide, defeating her male opponent by a margin of more than two to one. after the results were announced, she urged supporters not to be daunted by the challenges ahead. >> the more difficult it is, the more beautiful it will be to

succeed in doing all that we resolve to do with what we have in our manifesto. we wrote our manifesto together with the citizens and they expect that we will work together to make it happen. reporter: she is a member of the populist five-star movement. she ran on promises to root out corruption and approved -- improved city services. many romans seemed eager to give her a chance. >> i feel hopeful because there was something, just to let the establishment parties know there is a young party. i hope they are free of all the rot we have had up until now. >> i think people wanted to change in this is a real change in the right direction. we are getting rid of the same old people and we'll she -- we will see what she can do. reporter: the northern city of three and also elected a five-star movement mayor. she came from behind to sweep aside and experienced incumbent.

aching other cities and towns also elected five-star movement candidates. those victories establish the party as italy's main opposition force. they also set a challenge for the promised her. the losing candidates were member of her party. that could spell trouble for the prime minister, who state his career on an october referendum on constitutional reform. brent: he made fortune magazine's list of the most disappointing leaders in the world and now the former ceo of volkswagen, well, he has that emissions scandal around his shoulders and it will not go away. daniel: i was hoping to give you some positive news on volkswagen but not yet. martin winterkorn is being formerly investigated. he is suspected of having held back information over cars rigged to cheat on diesel

emissions test. >> state prosecutors want to know when martin winterkorn and the rest of the board knew about the diesel emissions scandal and if they informed shareholders properly. they're looking into the possibility that board members and deleted markets by withholding the information, the overtly misleading investors and markets about the scandal's potential up next. on september 21, 2015, volkswagen admitted in a press release it had rigged me -- millions of diesel engines with cheat software. volkswagen's share price plummeted immediately. >> there was a suspicion the market was manipulated and respect to both like us stocks by a breach of the requirements for companies. our own investigations and documents held by the financial

regulator, suggest this obligation existed at an earlier time and may not have been adhered to. reporter: the pro comes just ahead of both's general channel -- shareholders meeting. investors are expected to become traditional. the scandal has cost them huge amounts of money. the criminal investigation could cause more of them to launch civil claims against the lawmaker. they also face billions of euros in fines around the world. daniel: the nature of the debate around brexit in the u.k. has turned quite bitter recently. good, then, that there are sweet referendum treats to lighten the mood. you can also buy a bouquet for that special someone, the they pro-eu or euro-skeptic. take a look. reporter: it seems you really can send flowers for any reason,

including britain's looming vote. they are boosting sales with their stay or leave-themes flowers. >> they're selling incredibly well. they have taken us by storm. barely even p -- fairly even polls so far. reporter: if flowers are not your thing, you can also express how you are planning to boat with some sweet treats. this bakery is offering customers european referendum-themed cakes. sales are 2-1 in favor of remain cakes. the choice is clear. >> is not perfect, never will be perfect, but has that base and history of promoting peace, and i think we should have a voice in that so i am voting and -- in and i and really enjoying every bite of a future. reporter: sales of sweets and

flowers may not be the most accurate indicator of how the u.k. will end up voting on june 23, the very least it is a way to celebrate the big day. daniel: the threat of brexit hazmat -- hammered markets globally. so let's get a view from the newark stock exchange. -- new york stock exchange. our traders still worried about the brexit or is that subsided? -- has that subsided? jans: still everything can happen on thursday but at least for one day, the mood brightened quite a bit. it is still interesting to see that you had a huge rally in european markets. the mood and wall street was much calmer. the just traded to the outside by a little less than 1% but also in the past couple weeks, especially last week where we

saw quite some turmoil in europe, we only lost about 1%. but we certainly have tgogot soe help from europe and overall it was a positive trading day. we had the pound getting more than 2% in comparison to the dollar. i believe that was the best day for the pound in comparison to the dollar in about seven years. daniel: i'm not much of a sports guy but apparently the cleveland cavaliers have won the nba finals. big sports mean big money. what are you seeing there? jens: it is a fascinating story. the nba has this new champion, the cleveland cavaliers, and it was a really exciting series that went the whole seven games and at the end cleveland and their star lebron james won.

good for them. on the other side, stephen curry gets equipped by under armour. shoe sales for under armour since they have stephen curry under contract have grown about 700%. the series was so exciting, so both brands will probably profit in both stocks did pretty well here in the monday session. daniel: thank you for that update. that is all your business, but we are sticking on the sports the now. brent: just a different type of ball. the euro 2016 soccer tournament is heading towards the knockout phases with frantic switzerland through to the next round. throughout the competition and we have been meeting fans and getting their stories. the german national team has supporters from all over the world, and some have been following them for decades like this man. take a look. >> i'm not a supporter of a

nation, i'm a supporter of a team, a football group, 11 people playing soccer. >> i'm from israel and i came all the way to paris to cheer the german national team. i'm a big bang and i hope they take the cup. >> when i was 12 years old and there was the world cup in 1990, they were the best team. they won and they got me to fall in love with that team. since then, i have a big fan and today i'm the owner of the facebook page and israel that gathers all the german national team fans. when itb -- when i tell people in israel i'm a fan of the german national team, you cannot blame what their grandfathered it. >> i came all the way from israel just to cheer germany.

>> and is really guy cheering for germany -- an isralei guy cheering for germany? >> it does not matter which race, color, gender and nation, whatever. >> i hope it will be worthy of coming here, seeing goals and winning and going back to israel very happy with a big smile. brent: after a short break i will be back to take you through the day. stay with us.
