12:08 am
immigrants. because they were needed at the work or now we're in agreement with you would make them want to make. and rape them. but as well as being the largest ethnic minority some believe they're also the worst written into their new society if there was a probably it's a big problem that the turks of the last generation haven't integrated would have developed further away we have fifteen to twenty year olds who have moved further away from german culture than old immigrants this is a big effect on their behavior. procol known as a small group and although many germans think multiculturalism isn't working many also think turks should be allowed religious cultural freedom was. the great that they are all the way. they behaved. when we went to some of these areas many turks themselves tonight there were
12:09 am
problems they get out of there trying to live together and i understand there are some problems but it's not true that turks can't integrate that we all get along there are many turks russians germans and arabs here on t.v. in the media they talk about people shooting each other. and fighting but that's not the case here. but not all where always you feel this. way. as well as a cultural divide there's also the more serious problem of crime unemployment among young turks in germany is high but the resulting boredom leading to delinquency crystal has seen it all passion betty seven violence that's what the young ones do in mice themselves drugs what turns don't drink as we know it but they do fight each other. and they don't just face off with fellow turks

in a new plan police from turkey will help their german counterparts patrol troublesome neighborhoods those behind it don't want segregation but rather a more sympathetic approach to policing turkish communities of them so they thought of course the german police can handle the situation but there have been lots of recent reports about attacks and violence against police officers who try to enforce law in such problematic regions with a high violence potential so we have to think about what we could do better. but the plan is getting a lot of criticism some saying it's clear evidence the police don't know how to deal with turkish communities and crystal is one of those who thinks it's discrimination against turks. i don't like this plan the russian polish minorities don't have police it's not fair for the turkish to have them you have to police other people won't respond german police. this is the main turkish street in the old german city of cologne and streets like this that these new police officers are

12:12 am
afghanistan just to exit cute the graceful exit reve all due respect i have to admit it was a ill advised idea for general petraeus to coin this particular phrase every other option is a tenuous road from bad to worse the only opposite to the graceful exit is a disgraceful escalation of hewers forces in afghanistan the reason no way to imagine that this surge in afghanistan could be called grace the other alternative these disgraceful exit which will be dictated not by the will of the u.s. commander in afghanistan but he will be enforced by the deteriorating situation on the ground and by political expediency and the incoming me term elections in the united states and it will be further exacerbated by the war fatigue of the
