one thousand thirty eight the nazis and their supporters carried out nationwide attacks on the jewish population. as a prelude to the holocaust. or the chancellor said state authorities needed to take decisive action to combat racism and she stressed the importance of learning the lessons of history earlier lawmakers gathered in parliament to mark two other defining of vents the founding of the german republic on november ninth one thousand nine hundred and on the same date twenty nine years ago the fall of the berlin wall. let's hear more nor more now from chancellor merkel as she addressed members of germany's jewish community about the legacy of nazi terror the events of the rush cockcrow nine thousand nine hundred thirty eight were an important way point towards the great rupture of civilization which was the shoah leading to six million murdered jews and unspeakable suffering for many more millions of people.
in all this suffering that define his words i'm ready to lock the words to describe it. we have family young from g.w. politics with us for more on this is that when we saw these events marking the so-called day of faith in germany marking several anniversaries in the parliament but also in the synagogue which i saw the chancellor speaking there what did you take away from these various commemorations today here i think you're all the speakers today have made it clear how present the history is and that's very important you know both the chancellor merkel and president in my earlier tracing the various lines of german history. mr steinmeier particularly focusing on nineteen eighteen one hundred years ago today when essentially germany's parliamentary democracy was founded the moment he was swept aside was the end of the say of the first world war and the chaos of that time but people had
a new optimism and a new new hopes for the future in a new political order in germany and of course things didn't work out well that led to the viral republic which eventually sort of melted into the rise of the nazis but it's important to look back at that time he said as an indication of what germany can be of the pluralism of the openness that was represented even in those days and it's interesting that it wasn't you know why did the nazi pogroms against the jews in one hundred thirty eight why were they focused on this date as well not the ninth of november the answer is because the hitler himself and the nazis saw that date with this proclamation of a new germany as an offense to them and indeed five years later in nineteen twenty three. there had been an attempted putsch by hitler which we failed at that time so he felt that somehow you know he was in a battle to prove he's proved his improve the rise of the nazis as his vision of
the future germany and so this date continues to carry this burden of you know what kind of a place huge. all the speakers today were making that point that that is the question we should have in our minds today even though history doesn't repeat itself there are trends there are narratives that we're seeing develop in german society again today in this need to be critically aware of history as he said so i mean we have a clip of chancellor merkel speaking about this. when he had to be critically aware of history does he not is a must and i quote professor novak trying historian this is something you don't just of you keep having to work out it's unique and it is in this sense that every generation and new needs to strive to obtain critically inform my relationship with our own past a small but five cents where ever this is possible historical commemoration is more
than an empty ritual it will mean that history retains significance and new questions and perspectives could even be opened if you use them this idea of needing to be informed critically informed about germany's history is especially relevant this year as we're seeing anti-semitism and racism prejudice emerge again in german society absolutely and it's especially relevant as well because this may well be the last of these round number anniversaries of november nine hundred thirty eight when people who actually experienced it will be able to take part. but also talked about the only expected gift that is the resurgence of jewish life in germany but of course that gift has brought with it a renewed appearance of anti semitism and anger a miracle said you know discrimination of any kind against any group as such is always unacceptable and that's why it's good to remember she said you know because
when we jointly remember we lift people out of the anonymity and the sort of generalized view and we give them back their dignity all right simon young from d.w. politics simon thank you very much. let's catch up now on some other stories making headlines around the world the so-called islamic state has said one of its fighters carried out a knife attack that left one person dead and two wounded in the australian city of melbourne the suspect drove a burning pickup truck onto a sidewalk before lashing out at pedestrians and officers trying to restrain him who was shot by police and later died in the hospital. members of the afghan government's peace council have met taliban officials at our conference in moscow they repeated couples called for peace talks without preconditions russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said the participation of both sides in the conference was an important step toward direct talks between them the u.s. says it will deny asylum to anyone caught entering the country outside official border crossings the trump administration says the measure will stop abuse of the
immigration system it's expected to be challenged in court. when migrants making the long journey on foot to the u.s. from central america face many dangers along the way activists groups say up to thirty thousand have gone missing over the past decade our correspondent is on the road with the migrant caravan and he sent us this report. that water knows all too well that being kidnapped and then simply disappearing is the biggest danger a few years ago his brother disappeared as he made his second attempt to reach the u.s. . when yaml was on those all those he and we got as far as a child because he had met. him in the police caught me under the porta me back i want to honduras. it was i mean i went back again to look for him but there was nothing. around ninety members of the caravan currently making its way north are said to have disappeared after getting on to trucks the reports from various
organizations have not yet been confirmed i am pompadour but i don't publish a conference there are differing accounts of the numbers missing your know when some sources say. this one hundred. dollars on the human rights or forty's are looking into this case i'm going to siena your model is stunning in this a gondola. it's feared that they may have been kidnapped and handed over to organized crime groups active in the area where they went missing. and now obvious in the caravan a spooked. when jovan lost sight of his two friends he thought he'd never see them again. you see it was for me because i was really worried they had disappeared and i would never hear from them again but we got separated while i was trying to find space on one of the vehicles i had no idea where they had gone. i'd
say between ten and twenty thousand migrants have disappeared in the last ten years that's one reason why people are queuing to get into this tent inside they can call their families for free to reassure them that they're still ok and i mean we're counseling with our lawyer if you don't fall off the train you get run over by a truck you know. so no set us but it is it just we're told once everything here is that i mean no we were most afraid for the children. because of the dane. the people in the stadium divided register according to the region they came from that way they hope any disappearances will be noticed. that it's very dangerous travelling between mexico city and the us border we need to be well organized and able to look after each other we have to know about each other every individual every child. in the back up and so on i mean you're. all going to
list crime is lying in white everywhere on the journey ahead the markets are at risk of kidnapping and blackmail. it whatever it is son asking us gamma criminals and the migrants with fake office software no necessity i mean they can then they're forcibly held. and subjected to human trafficking in another us guys when say. but even though they leave if that was the lament their. attempts to jump the migrants even take place within temporary accommodation in mexico city the president of the mexican federal human rights commission says migrants are often approached by people claiming to be officials. now people who feel that if anything no one had heard of the supposed organization. to leave they offered to take people in lauri's in groups of eighteen. north and over the border into the u.s. . and i think. the biggest concern for the people in the caravan is to
avoid falling victim to criminals exploiting their desperation. rapidly moving wildfires have forced thousands of people to flee their homes in the u.s. state of california governor kava newsome has declared a state of emergency in the affected areas officials have warned the blazes are gaining strength and could rage for days. in this sleepy town of paradise all hell has broken loose wildfire sweeping through northern california engulf the town forcing its twenty seven thousand residents to flee. authorities estimate that around two thousand buildings were destroyed and strong winds whipped up the blaze . extremely hazardous lots of smoke dark devastation actually burning all throughout the town to be good to there for eighteen years and it looks like the fire came from. east enders came straight

structure protection especially during this 24 hour window of opportunity we currently have with favorable weather conditions but time is of the essence forecasters are warning that this is just a brief rest bite wins us that's a pick up and fan the flames once more. we start to get ready for those another red flag event all right now it looks like that's going to start sometime mid day tuesday and pushes into wednesday morning so we've got a kind of a quiet 24 right now and then we're going to go into another critical period tuesday night into wednesday it's now a race against time a battle against the blazes before that next critical period begins. for the very latest let's cross over to jason kemp and don't you know he's a reporter with n.b.c. news radio and he joins us from los angeles thanks for being with us jason let's start with what's happening where you are in l.a.
are plier fighters there any closer to getting that blaze under control. so right now the getting fire is only about 5 percent containment but what they're doing as we speak is hitting it with everything that they've got the brief window period where the winds are pretty still at the moment i was just outside and you can still smell the smoke you can still kind of taste it there's still ash falling from the sky but firefighters are definitely getting in there and they're using water dropping helicopters overnight and just hitting it with as much fluid as possible the get these flames out before the winds start to kick up later today but i gather that many homes are threatened by the l.a. fire including some belonging to celebrities what can you tell us about. these are multigrain multimillion dollar homes that are being threatened right now about $3000.00 people are under mandatory evacuation orders like you said including the
bron james and arnold schwarzenegger those are just 2 of the celebrities that live in that area and that's really where kind of the elite live you know if you're in the bron james and i know it's more snow here you've got bucks for days so you're really looking at some some mentions that are being destroyed i think about 8 ohms have already been destroyed in that area due to the getty fire and firefighters are doing structure. assessments as they're able to get into some of the hot spots early yesterday they weren't able to get in and assess the damage because it was just too dangerous ok so that's the situation around l.a. what about further north in sonoma county what's the situation there. massive blaze massive fire 60 some odd 1000 acres have been completely destroyed it looks about like on 100 structures have been destroyed that includes 20 homes in the town of guyra still and then almost level that entire town very small town up
there in sonoma county and this is just north of san francisco a very heavily wooded area so there's a lot of fuel and there's a lot of brush that is just going up in flames firefighters are trying again just like they are down here in southern california they do the same thing up in northern california using this time where the winds are really low and using every resource available jason do authorities know how these powers are being started. so it looks like a power company pacific gas and electric may be responsible for the cage fire that's burning up in sonoma county down here in san in california it looks like a tree branch may have been knocked off of the tree due to the i wins and it hit a power line and that's what started been getting fire now this is not been concerned but as of right now that's what they're looking at up north in p.g. and e. they've been responsible for several fires because their infrastructure is a 100 years old and it's just old it's antiquated and so when you get wind gusts of
up to 809100 miles an hour in some spots it knocks these power lines off and they hit the vegetation and that's what sparks a grass fire then you've got a live fire and so power company has been shutting power after people and that's really getting people upset so today everybody's got power but that may change by about noon or so in northern california and definitely by early in the evening by for southern cal on chase and thank you very much for bringing us up to date that was reporter jason kemp and downey out in los angeles. now he said he'd rather die in a ditch than ask to delay briggs it but british prime minister boris johnson has now agreed to a brace of extension until january 31st he's also been trying to persuade parliament to agree to a snap election in december johnson lost that vote on monday but undeterred he will try again today to convince opposition parties to support a general election he's hoping to capitalize on public anger over breaks. can you

because the majority required has not been reached for no use of it for the opposition an election is a gamble he would rather not take. thank you mr speaker. the reason i am so cautious is quite simply because i do not trust the prime minister he said unconvinced and undetailed johnson says he'll make a fresh attempt on tuesday. because because this house. any longer keep the country hostage millions of families and businesses cannot plan here as night fell it was a future that looted likely to involve a ballot box with hints that smaller opposition parties may be ready to back johnson's call in just hours the united kingdom could well be in campaign mode no s. no buts. some of the other stories making news around the world today authorities in
