the dogs against grey men are always special for homburg but their precarious position in the table makes this game even more exciting. for the bench it is not just the position in the table you never want to lose a darby. and that's the way we're going to approach this game. hamburg haven't won in ten matches. last weekend's two one defeat to labor cruzan was the latest setback i. i lost against braman would see them lose even more ground in the relegation battle i am berke know just how important this game is i was you see this is a great chance to set things straight a bit and get back on track and you just got it. but braman are also well aware that a win over a direct rival of the bottom of the table would give them a huge boost in the fight for survival they're expecting a real battle. in the heart attack and will have really hard tackles and a high intensity game every player will run to the max on both sides but i'm definitely not expecting an unfair match and for. saturday is a crunch game for both sides if hamburg lose they can expect a strong reaction from their fans i. but it

more to discuss both first i think what we need to do is move on a little bit and take a look at homburg because they are in a desperate situation they hadn't won in seven in this league games and have dropped to second from bottom in the table coach who was hoping his second match in charge would result in three much needed points but they needed to be careful against one over. team have given a good account of themselves returning to the top flight in the summer so let's see how the game turned act. hamburg coach good hollaback a wry face first home game boy by last weekend's battling draw at leipzig but aware the perennial relegation candidates were in danger of losing touch with the pack above them the hopes of the better of the early exchanges but we would heading why didn't this chance. hollaback was a hamburg hero as a player but his task of keeping them in the bundesliga looked all the more daunting after thirty seven minutes a piece of brilliance from either for some gave one over the lead. it was against the run of play one of the best goals the norwegian will ever score. hambu

it's a building in homburg that was once the headquarters of hitler's secret police the gestapo but it's dark past is not stopping developers looking to the future although it seems not everyone's on board with the idea. a little is that many people died off the torture which isn't mentioned that's why there must be a commemorative place here it is a social obligation for the victims who have come here with sorrow. to the future i believe that this place should be more appreciated than it currently is. the miles and homage to life in a place of death is at the very least tasteless and what was printed by many newspapers hello hello. which is phrased in a way that's reminiscent of the words at the concentration conference mrs work sets you free. stuff that her for is the former to start with headquarters and pound torture took place there. one must feel sorry for the future tenants they did not even know if it's a hotel for example it's a hotel of horror and torture. that's a wrap up for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour with more on today's top stories so do stay with us. who k

order to prevent such a confrontation between iran and is that even you remember in last summer in homburg. putin met with but as then from and they signed an agreement in order to have the exclusion zone actually taken out from the accidental process and be placed under russian american amber alert and that agreement actually was very much concerned with the iranian presence in the south of syria. that the agreement was actually dealing. despite the issue of what we all know that the americans the asked the russians to keep the iranians at least thirty to forty times are we put a motherboard there is between syria and israel a two by golan heights so i think that agreement has not been actually successful very successful in fact and this is the consequences of the failure of that agreement we are seeing now this confrontation between the israelis and their own years where there is going to escalate or or be content that is going to be an american russian decision not an easy one so perhaps israel trying to send a message does want to see iranian forces further back away or out from this i
