performed in germany and they increasingly represent clashing forms of society here we want. immigrants in germany just the illegal ones yes and after that the other day i was told that's the view of the national democratic party or n.p. d. here in germany they've supported many concerts attended by right wing supporters but their opponents argue they promote hatred they achieve that in some regions in east germany than you have no immigrants. it's not because of a comic reasons but it's because nobody wants rudy to go there because it's there always threatened one anti nazi group recently managed to do right wing concert goers into wearing their bogus t. shirts when they were washed the right wing slogan dissolved to reveal a message urging the wearer to leave the near nazi group. however german police
12:12 pm
intelligence estimates that there are eight to ten thousand hardcore militant neo nazis in the country those behind the stunt say that those numbers mean germany's problem is in the top three in europe every year in germany statistically you have about fifteen thousand twenty thousand hate crimes. of them about eight hundred violent crimes so that's also been in the top five from europe when we put accusations of inciting hatred to the n.p.t. they were unmoved germany is the state of the germans but if you are today you have parts in berlin with more than thirty forty percent of foreign us when it's just too much germany has large. ethnic minority populations from turkey the arab world and beyond many families now have second and third generation members

with german citizenship and they're gaining political representatives who defy anyone who says they don't belong here m p d or other parties. could not say to me or take to this part of me to be german whereas most political parties are now finding candidates from the ethnic groups they represent those on the right of posting the banners and slogans with the message go back where you came from with such a political divide the potential is there for german politics to become a lot nastier it's not immediately obvious that this fruit and vegetable store is at the edge of the turkish district in berlin it looks much like a fruit and vegetable stall elsewhere in the city but the question being fought over in political debates is will this region become a route for cultural exchange or a border between essentially foreign territories tom watson r.t. . and attacked by army desert is in syria is reportedly left seventeen soldiers
12:14 pm
dead according to human rights groups this comes after the arab league condemned the continuing killings of civilians in the country and the regime protests the ministerial committees judea to hold another round of talks with syrian officials over the weekend to try to help end the crisis the u.n. now estimating more than three thousand patients been killed since march when the uprising against president bashar assad began some of the protesters have also been calling for a no fly zone over the country and aerial support from nato warplanes are still there to offer the looters a strong foundation for political economic and social research in neighboring turkey thanks for being on r.t. international is much appreciated tonight we're getting reports of defectors now within the syrian army ranks are we seeing a turning point do you think in the conflict there. first of all irish say that the army defections are or would be a key method to provide the dissolution of the syrian regime but i don't think we
12:15 pm
are at that stage yet at that stage where the defectors would have enough and then pull the numbers and also the capital city to topple the syrian regime i think both the syrian regime and the defectors have been inflating. their numbers they have been talking about ten thousand soldiers ready to fight against the syrian regime and i think if they had that number i think. we have been facing would have been facing a very different scenario in syria i think the other problem is the current defectors are not coming from the higher ranks of the syrian army i think in order to get that kept heavily and that influence and power to face with the syrian regime they are going to need to have more defectors in terms of numbers and also they have to you know force or they have to make possible the factions or the high ranking
12:16 pm
officials is there and hardening thing. i think it's happening but it's happening very slowly and i think it's going to take some time let's talk about this no fly zone this being called for by some of the protesters to think that the u.s. and its allies will answer those calls now the finished in libya. i don't think so in the short run and i don't think that no fly zone would be an official way to face with the assad regime because when we see the development of the protests and the brutal crackdown of the syrian regime against the protesters we see that the syrian regime has been using its land forces a lot except for occasional use of helicopters to shut down the protesters and using a no fly zone like the one in libya i don't think would be an official way to face with these brutal crackdown of to even what we. now see it begs the
12:17 pm
question of why they've actually called for it because we saw the very same thing called for in libya didn't way you can kind of understand what it was for there but here as you say attacks have been coming from the sky if you like so you think the protesters really understand the implications of this no fly zone that they're calling for of the country i think i think this is a problem. strong parallels have been establishment's the libyan case and the syrian case i think this is a grave error because there are grave differences between the syrian case and the libyan case then we look at the libyan case we see that there has already been a kind of dorothy equally divided libya and we had a base for the protesters or the oppositional forces you know fighting in underdone of libyan national transitional council and we had you know normally two fighting groups or armies fighting each other and the libyan air force have been
12:18 pm
used at the time against a position of forces and you know we don't even know the future implications of this no fly zone in libya i think they're going to start talking about this implications now but they. compare it with libya because they see that there is success in the libyan case but when we look at the syrian case i think it's completely different i mean if you look at it's like social fabric or the sectarian lines in syria we see that all groups. from the opposition and also the fighting this regime groups have been living together the syrian giora if you keep dorothy those will let you know a scenario like the one in libya there are you know completely briefly the what can be done the arab league's meeting isn't it this weekend sunday to try it out find a an end to the crisis what do you think needs to be done. first of all i don't
12:19 pm
think that an arab league initiative that would create a dialogue. at the end of each suddenly leap forward or stay in power would not be a solution for the syrian problem i don't think as a solution assad in power staying in power would be acceptable to the syrian opposition and i think assad has already. hit his ledger timoci in syria what should be done is an international consensus and the arab league should be a key continent of these consensus and i think the economy exemptions that are designed to target some key all fish and key figures within the syrian regime or those who are supporting the syrian regime also from the business. can be an efficient way to kind of pressure syria to change their you know methods of brutal
12:20 pm
crackdown also there are some key countries in that includes russia china and iran in the syrian case i think some other way should be found to talk with these states and to persecute them to personate that the international community is not there to mingle with the internal syrian their fears but to protect the civilians that are under the fire of the syrian regime for notice thank you so much for your thoughts of the program from the foundation for political economic and social research as you and i and protect you much thank you. the intense ethnic division in africa's newest country have reached disturbing levels of violence this weekend where a suspected rebel attack in saudi killed seventy five people officials say was a strike on the country's oil rich unity state most of the fatalities were rebel fighters but fifteen civilians also died so sudan has been plagued by tribal violence since it began declaring autonomy from sudan in two thousand and five

12:25 pm
soldiers that are here that they continue to believe that this conversation is important and that these people are involved in a process to constructing a role where dreams are possible right now dreams are impossible in america for a lot of people these people need to believe that dreams must continue that's why we're here so it seems like the bottom line is the protesters are less interested in talking to wall streeters and washington themselves and more interested in keeping the conversation and the power among the people themselves. well for the resident next week sometime i spoke coming up shortly here tonight with dimitris gould the latest from the tennis the end of season championships in istanbul also got your essential weekend in moscow out on me as to my name is kevin owen thank you for watching international live from moscow.
