Going to be needed that comes to know that im in a good month when we want a free life weve come here to live we are human we are not animals. They put us in a place where theres no life and its like a jungle. A human cannot live in such tents. So far only about 1200 of the roughly 13000 migrants rendered homeless by the fires have moved to the new temporary accommodation the u. N. Refugee agency says theres a capacity for another 8000 and its urging people to move it says its the only way forward. People have been can come to this camp and we encourage them to come there because its from here that their process will continue that their procedure will continue that seditions can be found and that people can leave the island because the idea is not that people remain forever on the island of nias war.

Well here in Germany Police have launched raids against some of their colleagues officers suspected or sharing neo nazi images and private online chat groups 29 Police Officers in the german state of north rhinewestphalia have been suspended 11 are now under criminal investigation images shared include pictures of out of hitler and illegal nazi symbols like swastikas. By this grace and a slap in the face for germanys Police Forces thats what the interior minister in north rhinewestphalia called the discovery of czech content in which 29 Police Officers shared right wing extremist material. Including for example pictures of hitler of swastikas of imperial war flags but also many more horrible images like the fictional depiction of a refugee in the gas chamber of a concentration camp Police Officers from different cities and 34 Police Departments took part in the czech groups they were all suspended pending the results of the investigation they could face charges of inciting racial hatred a spokesman for the federal interior Ministry Said the reports are worrying. This was for goes what we are hearing from north rhinewestphalia is very alarming. It is a disgrace for the police force there but of course it also has an effect on the entire Police Profession throughout germany. Its not the 1st case of far right extremism spreading within germanys police and military forces in july a former Police Officer was arrested for threatening politicians across germany referencing a neo nazi cell in his emails and in june germanys defense minister disbanded part of the armys elite commando after allegations of far right extremism within its ranks. Political correspondent covering the story for us. How did all of this come to light the latest charges that were looking at. Police officers found those chap groups on a mobile phone that had been confiscated for another reason because there were allegation that a Police Officer had passed on secrets to a journalist so thats how they found those chants of the messages and the groups and some of those actually date back to 2012 and the authorities keep stressing that the conduct the behavior of those 29 people had been in conspicuous for all those years that there was no initial suspicion is there any way you know to know how widespread this kind of activity is among German Police and for that matter as we saw in our report German Military personnel. There are estimates but the problem is that there is no reliable data are available at the moment thats new that was a big study conducted in the 1990 s. That found that between 5 and 20 percent of Police Offices in germany had an inclination towards right wing extremist views and that was of course alarming but these these this data dates back from the 1990 s. And so many people are now saying we do need a comprehensive new study because they say is alarming but so far the federal interior minister. Has resisted calls for such a study for such an investigation and he has been criticized for it because they see of course is not the 1st such case we remember we saw in the report those 2 cases from this year but also we remember what happened after the National Socialist underground the socalled National Socialist underground committed their series of murders here in germany and the Police Offices some of them were involved in sort of dragging their feet or actively involved in helping hush up what actually happened in light of all of this you know are there any calls right now for a broader investigation or a push to place greater scrutiny on the private communications of Police Officers as a result of the latest allegations are looked at. The pressure on hamas the office is definitely growing and the interior minister of the from best faith who we saw in the report has announced that hes going to launch an investigation in his state so the pressure on hospital for a federal study. To have a federal study is growing definitely and the greens the Opposition Party theyre calling for an independent commission of a Police Officer so if they detect can still pick his behavior they can contact somebody independent because of course that is part of the problem that sometimes they dont dad talk to their supervisors and then also its a question of prevention they say that the process for applicants for Police Officers has to be. Put under more scrutiny and so its a question of prevention and not just sanctioning you know thanks so much for that the former head of world athletics has been found guilty of corruption and sentenced to 2 years in prison a french court found that lamine diaz solicited bribes totaling 3000000 euros from russian athletes suspected of doping and then used that money to compete in events like the 2012 london olympics.
