and from further afield they wanted to send a message that the right did not represent everyone in kemet. just in this instance it's really important to make a stand against the right wing and for a tolerant germany to send a message to foreign people here to say we support you we are a diverse and peaceful country and you're welcome here just as. i think the time is past here in germany when people could be chased through the streets without anybody speaking up against it this is really a time when people can't just sit a town and do nothing we have to stand up and take to the streets for democracy. the stopping of the german man sparked anti immigration demonstrations and violence and images went around the world for some a reminder of anti foreign incidents soon after german reunification. i mean if i after i've seen the pictures and i remember what happened in the beginning of the ninety's where we had to write when the prices in some places like mark to borek like course but rostock that's why it's important to see it send a clear stop signal right from the beginning but fortunately

rather he says them may be a case of deliberate misinformation to distract from that murder all in kemet manslaughter case which first triggered these protests of course this is a controversial statement because mohsin is not a politician to begin with and so the strongest point of criticism that people for including from americans own government voicing is that. that is actually participating in speculation rather than presenting the facts as he should do in his position as intelligence chief and then also there have been other cases of criticism against mohsin because he allegedly met with members of the of the party the anti immigrant party to warn them and to help them avoid being put under surveillance but you also have to say he's not the only one and not the first one to say that anglo-american was wrong and that actually there were cases of manhunt and such when the state premier of saxony also voiced similar concerns he says there was no proof and he is a member of their own party but you know aren't there various eyewitness accounts of foreigners being harassed. the problem is

injured and also on the program here in germany thousands have been demonstrating in the eastern city of kemet against far right extremism. germany's foreign minister heikal ma says more citizens should be standing up for tolerance after a weekend in my school protests. and russian president vladimir putin faces all going anger over his plans to raise the pension age with thousands taking to the streets today in moscow that's despite the concessions putin made earlier this week . hello and welcome my name is christopher bring it thanks for joining us after a period of relative calm the somalian capital market issue has again been targeted by a terror attack at least six people died earlier today including two children on a suicide bomber detonated a vehicle full of explosives near a local government office fourteen people were also injured in the blast the islamist militant group al-shabaab has claimed responsibility. for these plumes of smoke from the explosion was seen shortly after the bomb went off. witnesses said the blast was huge the attacker was targeting a local government building in

the controversy surrounds a video from the city of kemet for many it was proof that far right mobs have hunted down people they took for migrants but in an interview mohsin said the video could be inauthentic that there was no evidence of racist violence and kemet on wednesday he pedaled back telling the committee it was all a misunderstanding. i don't know my clock is not made it clear how the communication could have been better or why there was a possible misunderstanding rather than me it was a very clear unequivocal statement that he gave still nam india up gave him had not everyone in parliament however agreed that the matter is settled on does and does this mean in my opinion this doesn't change the fact that mr mostyn caused a lot of confusion in this country because of what he said last week on christopher took a state wide answer before we still fear that mr mohsin is taking a pass on stunts but his media statements like and that by attacking the media regarding the videos dissemination and lending support to right wing conspiracy theories regarding the events in kemet he was

the people of kemet started throwing the streets in the early afternoon in a protest organized by a private citizen who said he simply wanted to do something to improve the situation in his town was done i can only hope that this is just the beginning of something for the whole country we have to be honest about it the problem is not confined to the city of kemet so people were out on the streets of kaman it's again but this time in the name of peace. in eastern ukraine tens of thousands of mourners have been paying their final respects to alexander chunk of the pro russian separatist leader killed along with his bodyguard in a bomb blast on friday is death has heightened tension between ukraine and russia. a huge outpouring of grief for the highest profile separatists to die in the conflict in eastern ukraine. assassinated by a bomb in a downtown cafe. described as a brother by native light emitted russia's president alexander's a coach and co was elected prime minister of the self-proclaimed annette's people's republic in two thousand and fourteen he was a hero to many locals. i was lucky

a home free thanks for joining me downs of hit the streets again in the east in the german city of kemet the protests in counter-protest box why the killing of. german resident last week to his items because they're in custody over the killing news that one of them could have been deported two years ago fueled saturday's demonstration against germany's migration policies the counter-demonstrators also took part in a rally against far right violence and racism. far right groups including germany's largest opposition party the anti immigration a.f.d.c. paraded through came nets in what they called a silent mourning march for a german man who was stabbed to death in the eastern german city last sunday by the fellow. i'm here because we are no longer prepared to accept incidents like these in germany where murders are committed by people who should already have been deported earlier he named. thousands of counter-demonstrators also converged on the city both locals and from further afield they wanted to send a message that the right did not represent everyone in kemet. just in this instance

there were further rival rallies in the eastern german city of kemet on saturday far right and left wing supporters turned out again following the arrest of two asylum seekers suspected of killing a german man last sunday it's the third day of protests in a week more than eighteen hundred police officers were deployed to keep the groups apart. this is something even my colleagues abroad are asking me what is happening in germany i'm glad there are so many upright democrats who showed the true colors in kemet to make clear that a large majority of germans want to live in an open and tolerant society those to stand out are a minority who shout louder than we would like but the chorus of decent people has to become louder than before. in south africa a tiny beetle on the fungus it carries is killing trees johannesburg is home to one of the world's largest urban forests but around two hundred types of treat many of them indigenous are under attack from the pest and scientists are worried for me to miller reports from johannesburg. with ten million trees johannesburg is regarded as one of the

also on the program here in germany thousands have been demonstrating in the eastern city of kemet against far right extremism of. germany's foreign minister a high komarov says more citizens should be stepping up for tolerance on.

this verdict it does come after more than a week of racial tensions in the eastern german town of kemet as well i mean the far right there they're exploiting the killing of a man allegedly also by two migrants what is the government doing to counter this mobilization by far right elements especially considering the fact that the largest opposition party that is currently in the german parliament the a.f.d. are marching with these extremists. that's true and that has led to a new discussion whether the a.f. d. would have to be observed by the domestic intelligence service in germany so far it terrorism being money toward by the domestic intelligence service they have said well we have some suspicion on individuals but not the party so this is a discussion the government this very moment is reluctant to observe the entire party but there's also other things that of course are done on the regional level politicians try to support the civil society democracy groups the fight against extremism and on the state level in germany on the federal level politicians have also the civil society to s

the potential to further divide german society so we have seen two startlingly different faces of kemet over the past ten days we've heard dramatically opposing views about what actually happened there on sunday august twenty sixth so you linda have been reporting for candidates and i'd like to ask you to get us started by giving us your sense of who is behind the violence and where chemists really comes down which is the face of candidates that's a difficult question. something that the people there are some self i think i've talked to people from both sides as we can say initiative some people that are very engaged in fighting right wing extremism for many many years and they said. they never got the support they wanted to actually. that's what they say for a long time but on the other side people from all not even from picking up being the anti muslim immigrant movement that had its birth raised and which is not too far away from him that's exactly and people that are you know go to the demonstration they're maybe not part of figure but they understand you know they have their fears

moscow hope you stay with the next thirty minutes for this live update so the first the german city of kemet is into its second week of far right rallies which have mostly been met with counter protest to these are pictures through from there right now now this all started after a local man was stabbed to death by police the but by people that the police rather described as various of being of various nationalities just get that straight here's how it all unfolded. for the record clarify i misread that just now this all started for a local man was stabbed to death by people the police described as all various nationalities let's get across it let's go live to chemist peter all of us there. at the rally right now i spoke yesterday you said there was going to be one looks like a few people turned out for it though so far yeah. yes that's right it's all very quiet so fall very peaceful so far i'm in amongst the crowd here at the rally that was organized by the main opposition party one of the largest opposition party here in germany at the moment the alternative for germany. also joined by one

enormous company sells two thirds of its production abroad the recent pictures of rampaging nazis in kemet can easily harm the economy of the entire federal state of saxony. customers are starting to ask questions. they want to know if their watch was assembled by a nazi and where it comes from. the people have become highly sensitized sacks and he's now got a serious image problem which is bad for business. the arc of brother scrap metal dealers are also concerned about their homelands image after recent nazi demonstrations they want saxony to be open to the world to attract workers from abroad they and many small companies like them are desperate for qualified workers . every guest and every citizen who lives here should be able to do so in safety and peace and that's what potential workers imagine when they think about moving here and when they see things like that then they'll probably think twice about heading toward saxony big. companies like no moss and the are cops brothers say it's essential to take a stand against the right wing rabble and to speak out before it's too late. fifty

bought says that the frankfurt stock exchange for us only international attention on the unrest in kemet tell us more about the concerns for reputational damage it's a great concern when you listen to joel kayser he's the c.e.o. of siemens one of the largest industrial companies here in germany in europe and in the electro technical business and he says that germany doesn't just export goods and products it also exports values and he's worried that the kind of images and news that we're hearing from coming that's from saxony are going to damage the reputation of germany. and he says that you have to take this seriously not least because companies like siemens employs so many people not just germans but also of a very diverse cultural heritage siemens itself has three hundred seventy eight thousand people around the world around one hundred thirty thousand people and showcase them makes clear that it's about these people as well and the chairman of the. of baby eve the german industry association has called for leaders in the business world to speak out against seen a phobia in germany. f

story this hour germany's domestic intelligence chief a set of pictures like this from the violence in kemet set last week could be fake news and mass and said he's agency had no reliable evidence that the alleged chasing of foreigners actually took place. that's it you're up to date i'll have most for you at the top of the hour we cannot follow us on the web sites around the clock on the call the flop good to. cut. cut the must. make your smart t.v. even smaller clip w.'s. watching last minute want to. up to date. extraordinary. decide what songs. to do w. the smart t.v. .

to talk about people being particularly foreign looking people being chased in the streets back in kemet now this is something he will have to answer for today it looks like he doesn't really have evidence to prove that video you. know where he questioned whether it was in fact a real video he doesn't have anything to disprove that so there's a lot of questions over his position and there's a lot of questions of whether there was a very different intent and here there's a tight connection to i'm going to michael's own interior minister who is quoted or who was also questioned by the far right if t. here today he said that migration was the mother of all political problems and that was the opening line of the f.t. of alexander garland here in parliament so it raises questions is somebody out to get the german chancellor here and who is the head of the german intelligence domestic intelligence services anyway to get involved and so his future hangs in the balance and there is yet more evidence of a lot of internal pressure playing out on the german chancellor. will be coming back to we're

you've been actively seeking contact with a lot of anti foreigner groups for example in the city of kemet can you tell us a little bit of or about that. meeting i had a meeting with. some different kind of people and the problem on this was that me as an immigrant i went to this city and i spoke to them and i was in the front line. seoul so funny. immigrant stands in the line in front of everybody and pita and showed me about immigrants so it's ridiculous and then an end of the day i was very very unhappy with this moment but for many foreign people i was like not a hero but there's that oh that's right that you are in front and you show them that you are not afraid you are a kind of guy who is not afraid to step in front and show these nazis that you are not afraid against the tutu to. confront them and this was a very very tough time for me because i have received messages plenty of them and i said that any time you want i stand up and i against racism because i love this country of so many very same for what this country gave to me and to my family and to so many friends of mine and th

tens of thousands of people are attending an anti-racism concert in the eastern or german city of kemet now. the city became a flashpoint in germany's divisive debate over migrants after a german man was stabbed to death a week ago the two asylum seekers were arrested in that killing after a week of protests in which right wing extremists were out in force tonight's concert as i'm trying to do an estimated fifty thousand people. yes they did these intimate there were more of us that was the most of today's event is liberal germans responded to calls to stand up against from right racism before becomes a cult on the way there was a minute of silence for the twenty five year old whose fatal stabbing on least a week of n.t. mike and protests. the mood was peaceful albeit with a clear message to the racist moms who shot the country with thousands chanting nazis out. several well known german bands have been playing in cannes nets this afternoon including the local group cuffed club the driving force behind the concert as the group's singer explained at a press conference earlier in the day.

has been under a lot of criticism in recent weeks over discussions on demonstrations in kemet spy right wing us in the city of chemists and what in fact happened there is that he directly contradicted statements made by under machall herself that's really the core of the of the issue here the question of whether he was was taking part in a political discussion in which the head of the intelligence service would not be involved he should strictly speaking be someone who provides reliable but neutral information which the politicians can then assess in their own terms this is not happened but what has happened is that the parliament examined and question marks and for several hours yesterday as a result the conservative party said that they were satisfied with his explanations and above all the interior minister who is the direct head of the intelligence service the direct boss of the intelligence service said that he sees no reason to dismiss him now the interior minister happens also to be the leader of the bed varian conservatives and he and i'm going to america and the leader of democ

the other had a residence permit politicians are keen to avoid comparisons with the nearby city of kemet said the death last month of a gemini man led to far right protests as in catching the extreme light maybe my supporters over the internet. not really came out of course we're aware of how far right groups operate on a national level and how they are able to react so quickly we will adapt our plans accordingly. and. more demonstrations are planned in canton police approached in reinforcements from across germany. for d.w. correspondent robin from the marquis is in the town of curtin ninety joins us now live good evening to you fabio and we heard it just two weeks ago about these violent protests in the used german city of camden it's but now we're talking about a very small town called curtin i mean what sort of place is. it's a small town twenty six thousand inhabitants quite beautiful little town here in the east of germany and when you would walk through the city in the morning you would think that a very nice place a relaxed place a peaceful place but then you're in the day we saw

several well known german bands performed in kemet including local group comes close the driving force behind the concert as the group singer explained at a press conference earlier. today asking. after all this rubbish happened we called friends on tuesday evening and asked them if they would join us for the concert. from. within twelve to twenty four hours everyone had said yes everyone was just getting in touch with everyone else and then all these people here agreed to join the concert and gets in with them starts the lead singer of one of germany's most popular rock groups to talk in horse and explained his motive for taking pot. it's essential that we're clear that this is not about a fight between left and right everybody who's in any way decent and it doesn't matter what political beliefs you have should oppose a radical right wing mall that attacks people it's also a good fish but. few people at the candidates concert would disagree with that their city put on a different face on monday with thousands united in a fun loving show of music and tolerance. now japan's being hit by

followed the man's death in curtain was it anything like the far right protests that we witness in kemet two weeks ago well it was similar in the sense of course that in a very brief space of time in this case two and a ha thousand right wing supporters far right neo nazi people. convened in could and came there and demonstrated but what was not present was the kind of scenes of attacks against people that looked to foreign the kinds of. intense. chanting and so on that we have seen and can that there was some sort of. how right wing nazi speech for game being given at the end but the march itself was quiet and without any incidents so where does this go from here what are police expecting or are they expecting any further developments in the case itself in the curtain case itself are they expecting any more protests well the case obviously is being investigated. it's not quite clear exactly what happened there was some sort of altercation between young men who tend to congregate in the spot with this happened. there was a woman involved who apparently is pregnant and so on so there's a
