President ial election the billionaires when makes the latest latin American Country to turn its back on the left. A football were down to just. That was all took. Their first home loss of the season. On the show the migration crisis on greek island lesbos conditions are further deteriorating for refugees there locals say it is only a matter of time before the situation turns violent. And evidence that poachers in tanzania were helped by un funded park rangers in the countrys worst ever massacre of elephants. Brian thomas welcome to the show the u. N. Security council is set to vote today on a draft resolution on the disputed status of jerusalem the Security Council will be considering attacks submitted by egypt that after President Trump said washington would recognize resume as the capital of israel now the decision has triggered a new surge of violence in the gaza strip in the west bank and protests across the muslim world. In the gaza strip effigies of donald trump and Benjamin Netanyahu burn earlier protesters carried models of the dome of the rock through the streets. These symbolic acts bear one message jerusalem belongs to the palestinians and can never become israels capital. In the west bank town of bethlehem more protests on we are here tonight and going to. Muslims and christians. On this account is just. Different messages to all the war. First of all we are refusing the speech of. Jerusalem as a capital for what it called as well and moving america n. B. C. To jerusalem. Crowds demonstrated in turkey to the countrys president aired on making a diplomatic statement in support of the palestinians. Since jerusalem is currently under occupation we cannot go to and open our embassy but a consulate general is represented at ambassador level so we have to factor our Company States god willing the day is close when officially we will open our embassy there. Despite the protests netanyahu reiterated his support for trumps plan to move the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem and he condemned egypts introduction of a draft u. N. Resolution seeking to reverse the move. I would like to express once again my special appreciation for the determination and leadership of President Trump and his administration in defending the truth of israel that rejects attempts to use the un as a platform against israel. Just days before u. S. Mice president mike pence is due to visit israel divisions in the middle east deeper than ever. While the u. S. Decision on jerusalem also sparking protests here in germany a number of the mantissa matic in response the german interior minister to muster maziar says the country should appoint an anti semitism commissioner to counter threats of violence against jews and against israel remarks to the german media he said every criminal act motivated by anti semitism is one too many and a disgrace for our country anti semitism must never again take hold in germany all mainly arab and turkish demonstrators in berlin for example burned israeli flags a week ago and called for violence against jews or Political Correspondent hans frons is following this for us he joins us now with more. Sadly we have seen similar events like this here in berlin in the past directed against jews directed against israel why is this type of virulent public anti semitism getting a high priority from the government now. Well as we saw from that statement by thomas them as the other interior minister for germany antisemitism is something that has to be condemned in any possible way and that has to do with german german history obviously during nazi times anti semitism was the state ideology and led to the killing of six million jews in europe and to germany modern germany postwar germany wants to prevent that from ever happening again so for the existence of the german the modern german state anti semitism in the sense is definitive is something on which the modern german state is founded and all German Governments and all german Political Parties across the spectrum want to find even even including so of antisemitism in germany to try and prevent something that happened to like happened during the times from happening again at the same time that means that germany supports israel as a place where jews can feel safe so the existence of a state of israel as well is something that is very central to german policy ok in response to the protests were been saying the German Government is also saying it wants to make teaching about the holocaust to migrants and refugees a central part of integration where is that headed. Well we have to see that many of the refugees that have come into germany are from muslim countries are from arab countries and in arab in the arab world obviously solidarity with the palestinian cause is a Central Point of arab policy a Central Point of support at the same time we find that this is a really religious conflict which at the moment focuses on the status of jerusalem which is contains holy sites both for the jewish and the christian and the muslim religion. Theres a conflation here of political and religious problems but within germany obviously as ive said anti semitism is central to the german state and people that live here have to understand that they have to distinguish between the political issues concerning israel and antisemitism against jews our Political Correspondent thanks very much for that. Well a turkish german journalist goes on trial in istanbul today accused of links to terrorist groups now this case is set to test the diplomatic relations between berlin and ankara tolu is one of ten german citizens currently imprisoned in turkey in the wake of a crackdown on the media she was working as a reporter and a translator for a left wing Turkish News Agency when she was arrested that was back at the end of april now the charges against her allude deep back to two thousand and fourteen twenty fifteen when she took part in a womens rights march and attended a memorial for activists who belong to a Left Wing Party so relatively old charge there she now stands accused of being a member of an Armed Terrorist Group and of spreading terrorist propaganda. Toulouse husband has been detained on similar charges but has since been released and in trial their three year old son has been living with his mother in prison for a number of months hes now not doing so toulouse trial started in october but was adjourned now the first hearing to lose lawyers said the case against her was not based on any hard evidence. Constable you are the charges all sound very contrived and its questionable whether these are even crimes were talking about because they involve appearances at Public Events that werent illegal and it all happened a long time ago so its surprising that its being brought up now so its not as yet just. Straight to istanbul now and our correspondent dorian jones dorian what are we expecting to happen in court today. Well it is the second day of the hearings will probably carry on listening to the prosecutors reading out the charges and evidence against possibly some witnesses but little major developments are expected in this hearing what is a key part of todays hearing hes going to be that the defense lawyers will be pressing for her release from pretrial detention and possibly to be allowed to give a passport and travel back to germany this has happened with a recent german human rights activist Peter Storrie and given the fact that she does have a three year old trial and that child has been in prison for much of her potential it is made it very contentious and the lawyers will be pressing very hard for her release and i think also the government diplomats to. Defense Attorney Says that the evidence is weak can you fill us in exactly what evidence the government has against. Well it seems that the prosecutors evidence does heavily on the fact that she attended this memorial and the funeral of. One of our fighter fighting a state in syria who is fitted according to Turkish Forces to belong to a terrorist organization now given the fact that turkey terrible for so broadly written it is very easy to be trapped into what most people would consider been not offensive actions and weve seen this in many cases across turkey and also we have this thing called organic links to a terrorist organization whereby you dont have to be a signed up paid member you just have to according to prosecutors what they have to prove is that you have the same ideas the same following the same kind of programs and very very broadly written and very easy to prosecute if the charges choose so but beyond that the fact that this evidence is seen so weak there is a lot of feeling that michelle tolu is caught up in these ongoing tensions between her and many of the feeling that burden has charged is that they are become pawns bargaining chips and in fact the turkish president referring to another Foreign National made very clear that he was prepared to make a deal for an american citizen to be released in exchange for some concession from the your west so in many ways totally is caught up in these ongoing tensions between. Briefly if you could during was the German Government doing to gain the release of one of its citizens. Well the German Authorities have been working quite hard last month we had the German Foreign minister here meeting with his counterpart in a surprise visit beyond that we have seen gestures on both sides weve seen the turkey German Police cracking down on the use of p. K. K. Symbols of the banned kurdish rebel group in demonstrations in germany on top of that weve seen danish you tell another german journalist hes been removed from solitary confinement in general east within the prison small concessions and crucially also saw the ending of a trial of turkish spying thats another concession the hope is that this there is a momentum here that could lead to total release from her detention during joins for us to the courthouse and in this case thanks very much story. Well now for a look at some of the other stories making the news at this hour officials in the United States say powers been restored to Atlanta Airport now this comes more than ten hours after a blackout led to thousands of flights being canceled at one of the worlds busiest air hubs the outage was caused by a fire in an underground electrical facility russian president Vladimir Putin has thanked President Donald Trump for information that helped prevent a terrorist attack in St Petersburg the kremlin says a tip from the cia led to the arrest of seven suspects linked to the Islamic State worth.
