A cease fire and eastern good as the United NationsSecurity Council deliberated on thursday for the past five days bombs have been raining down on the rebel held suburb on the outskirts of damascus indiscriminately killing more than four hundred people the red cross says it is shocked by the violence and Doctors Without Borders say that thirteen of its facilities in the area have been destroyed leaving the remaining staff with very little to save the hundreds of wounded brought to them every day in just a moment we will speak with one of the few doctors who worked through similar bombardments of eastern aleppo but first this report from eastern and a warning that the images are disturbing. Hell on earth and theres no escape this hospital now the graveyard government were planes have been pounding eastern cuba for the fifth consecutive day children are under siege in one of the most brutal bombardments this war has ever seen in some of the mobile. We were unable to evacuate our patients or treat them. We had to do one of the operations under the rubble and if. We couldnt evacuate we had to do it under the rubble. Of them saw them though as the airstrikes continue relentlessly rush a key ally of the assad regime blames the rebels holding duty for the regions humanitarian crisis. And im joined now by Hamza Alkhateeb he is a syrian doctor who is currently in the turkish town of ghazi on tap and last year the media spoke extensively with him from the besieged city of aleppo which at the time was experiencing the kind of bombardment that we are currently seeing in eastern good its great to see you again and welcome to the program. Thank you. And. As we mentioned you lived through the aleppo been barred men so you have seen the toll of the regimes military tactics firsthand what goes through your mind when you see the images from gupta. Or the memories just came back and say after a. While its just you sink or. Its all of the same. Happened in two thousand and sixteen and now its happening. Not or over people are speaking about the hundred thousand bit. Like. An article or area and. Shouldve been striking or kind of. And similar to that time in aleppo the International Community there has really been an outcry here the United Nations in particular saying that they havent been able to take in a convoy with provisions since the end of november we heard harrowing reports of people without shelter food water of people going underground was that also your experience how did people survive. Actually the situation in the whole place warse then and i were speaking about. An area that is sort of the countryside of the mass so we are not speaking about like very high building that can consider center for a four people to a two to be about speaking most of the buildings are two or three or five mix in fy floors and speaking about an area that had been deceased for five years so its over the. Half of that with everything. If you will. And. Its very like just very ironic that. They are still like at three in the Security Council downstate gathering in the United Nation thank to speak about the situation and i will times about the situation in syria we have witnessed two years ago or a year and a half ago and i do people as your hundred thousand people have been besieged and ship it all kind of all over the war have seen the. Pictures and videos of the. Hundreds hundreds of people who have been being killed hundreds of children have been died kind of woman all written up women over. What we have seen many beds in and eastern a little a year and a half ago and no one has did anything at all and that thats why our experience is now and i will talk and i may experience this a year later in. Push you know no one is doing anything the only thing that thats happened is the. The units of meat a statement saying thats one sentence in it that there are no warts explaining or cant explain or can give such justice to you could be. Dead children and their mothers and parents. Its pretty embarrassing for many its very embarrassing for the United Nations consul that one of their agency unisys have nothing to do and just to say that no warts can give justice to just those people you know its no action the thing at all and speaking of the word. Sorry to interrupt you there hands up but i just want to turn you know youre speaking about the words from from aid organizations from the United Nations i also would also like to ask you about the words that are coming out of the assad regime and also their allies the russians because we know that the regime for example they say that they are just targeting rebels and terrorists Something Else that they are saying is that they never intentionally target hospitals in their airstrikes we of course we have reports of multiple facilities that have been hit in eastern. What do you think when you hear claims like that what is your response. Like. I dont know if. Its not making sense at all its like thirty sheep again that for two years and so years ago they have been claiming that the white ten minutes right than they are like tourists organization and not even a children a child can kind of like believe that. They have some programmed against me that im not a doctor and im not a like a. Supporter and. I dont know how they like god thats maybe from my long b. Or something they they have been talking to doctors the media war or the like i think that bakeries that he carries are not making weapons of course and they are talking everything in and old ice video like that but about a. Tack that are happening now they are talking everything the schools the bakeries the hospitals they have facilities everything they have the same claim spec in aleppo and they have time to nine tens and hospitals that were not at all and they where those nine months theres been right meat destroyed so it looks like a coincidence that they are the folks that theres just like by itself and home to lets talk a little bit more about those hospitals because youre a doctor as we mentioned and you were actually treating patients in aleppo during the siege and the bombardments what are the doctors and those who are in need of care and eastern good to what are they facing right now. You know first of all they are increasing to be trying to themselves. If eating not secure in that lake that you are working that you are trying to do to treat or to. Do or to risk you and emergency patient and god and the same time are maybe targeted at the same time you are like time to to make operations and invest and i in this last time i like just laps over your head thats the first thing the second sink their lack of everything that will medications that all. Consumable leko fuel for generators for the hospitals that will even water. That everything baby have to each patient they have to think for three or four times what the kitchen they should give him because all of that time afraid to be cut off kind of medication we are speaking about. Maybe for four hundred injuries each day thats a huge number that even if they. Had been in any and any place in america or u. K. Or germany. In hospitals kind of like treat those injuries at the same time four hundred injury and we are speaking about the hospital is that are going to be seized for five years. Its something that you missed a lesion for for a t. V. Ad medical care for the station. Hamza alkhateeb a syrian doctor currently in the turkish town of ghazi on top as we mentioned you were in eastern aleppo during the bargeman there so you have some insight into what those civilians are experiencing right now in eastern gupta on the outskirts of damascus and we thank you very much for joining us this evening to share your perspective. Well it has been seventy five years today that the nazi regime executed hons and sophie schol and christophe propes the three were members of the socalled white rose one of the very few resistance groups in the third reich they and three other members of the group paid with their lives for standing up against a brutal regime the soul siblings in particular have become symbols of resistance in germany our reporter went to munich where they lived and died for their freedom. Munichs Maximillian University today looks like a fairly typical campus with students hurrying to libraries and lectures but look a little closer and you see that this is one of those places where germanys Twentieth Century history resonates and gives us a glimpse of a different path it might have taken. For a few months in one nine hundred forty two in one nine hundred forty three students of this university were the core of the white rose one of the very few resistance groups inside nazi germany which managed to organize and actually do something against the regime its best known members are hands scholl and his sisters of both students in their early twentys they were intellectuals interested in philosophy and religion but as they learned more about the nazis crimes they decided it was time to act they type defiant appeals to their fellow germans printed them on a secret press and distributed them around the country in these leaflets the shoals and the other white rose activists called on germans to recognize their moral duty and overthrow the system by passive resistance and then by sabotage spreading ideas like rose at the height of the Second World War was a very dangerous and courageous thing to do. On the eighteenth of february nine hundred forty three hansens of feet came here to the Main UniversityBuilding Armed with copies of their latest flyer. What happened next was one of the tensest scenes in the movie the final days which made the white rose better known internationally. Filmed partly at the original locations it showed how determined the shells were to wake others up to the evil of the nazis. They left piles of leaflets in the hallways knowing they would be found when students came out of their lectures. In germany almost every young person has heard this story. Today are probably different circumstances but if Something Like this would happen again people would stand up against such a reason regime. If i were in that situation i dont know actually i think its. Very good what they did. And they should be a role model but. If im honest. I dont think i would have. I would be scared to get in trouble. Hansens of fi show did get into trouble they were arrested by hitlers secret police the gestapo and along with another student hed helped write the pamphlets given a show trial before the infamous Peoples Court on the twenty second of february they were executed. More than six hundred streets and squares all over germany and named for the shoals and other members of the white rose. Reminders there is only a few people who are willing to risk their lives for freedom i seventy five years on the sacrifice of these young people still seems extraordinary and has the power to inspire as the white rose wrote if we dont have the courage to demand what is right we will deserve to be scattered like dust on the wind. Lets get more now were joined here in the studio by Hans Christian yosh he is the director of berlins house of the vans a conference a memorial and Education Center based in the place that the nazis planned the mass murder of the choose of europe welcome to the program this evening thanks for joining us from. Why is the White Rose Group and the shoals in particular so resonant in germany. Well i think it has a lot to do with their usefulness i mean there were twenty one twenty two twenty three years old ones and so official. Was the popes to was the first ones to be executed on this very day seventy five years ago after this three hour show trial by fire Peoples Court fresno had come to munich specially for this trial and i think they can trust it so nicely was five sloane was the the monster of the nazi state the munster judge. They were from a bush well back. That was self starters in the resistance and they didnt have any ideological affiliation and they were medical and philosophy students and so this i think has helped a lot to coopt them as an image of resistance and there were they became i conceive of resistance i think this one picture of the official. Has become the i can offer resistance and of. And you have an x. Or actually of what they wrote in one in their papers as well something which is which is quite poetic tell us a little bit more about that and tell us a little bit more about you know they were also quite perceptive werent they think picked up on what was going on yeah they they started with the leaflets already in the summer one nine hundred forty two and of june nine hundred forty two and the second leaflet depicted the holocaust which was quiet exceptional at the time it actually spoke about the three hundred thousand people which were being made and their ashes a scattered it and they have read this beautiful quote and wonder if they leaflets where they actually say pull up the coat of indifference which you have wrapped around your hearts decide before it is too late so they were appealing to the. German society which at this time was still very supportive of the of hitler of the food of others only started to change in spring one thousand nine hundred eighty three was the defeat that they very clearly had a sense that something was coming that something catastrophic in fact was coming and they were smoking certainly right just generally speaking how much resistance was there to the nazis in germany and when we look back at history the way that history has been taught. Was the way that people learned about the resistance to the nazis dependent on where they grew up for example here in the country. Well according to historical scholarship the nazi vision was really a dictatorship of acceptance at least until the one hundred forty three until february nine hundred forty three when it became clear that styling god was lost that the war was lost. One can say that there had been at least tacit support by the majority of the german population and this even stretched to some of the crimes committed by the nazis that especially when it came to the deportation of the jews there was wide reaching support was in the population people buying. Property of jewish families so they willingly accept that these crimes resistance was magia know that had been resistance groups in the army already before the war started. That been several attempts to kill hitler had there was extremely lucky also to escape these attempts. But generally we are looking at less than one percent of the total german population who was actively willing to risk their lives in resistance against the nazi officially. The other question that it depends on where you grew up just did it also depended a lot of when you grew up for example and we only know. Nine hundred fifty s. It also took some time before the military resistance around. Had been officially established that was the attempted assassination on hitler on the twenty years of to larn to forty four and was tom cruise. Embodying. A french dolphin but also a sort of a comic figure of the resistance that has become better known but even this in the early fifties was still very controversial the majority of germans saw them basically as traitors. And had been a trial in one thousand fifty two and the city of bones with its power who later became famous for his efforts in the ocean its trial didnt actually try to show that the nazi state was not a state where high treason could be committed because the state itself was treacherous to its own population and this was really one of the breaking points where resistance started to be acknowledged and we thank you so much for telling us a little bit more about it on this momentous day as we mentioned seventy five years since hans and selfish all that were executed in fact Hans Christian joining us from berlin house of advance a conference a memorial an Education Center based in the place that the nazis planned the mass murder of the jews of europe thank you thank you very much ive. The Berlin InternationalFilm Festival is in its final few days ahead of the gold and silver bears awarded and my colleague david levitt have been going to the movies for us there. They have been observing what has been going on on the red carpet down there so whats the action today. So the World Premiere of touch me know if this is the latest movie by experiments. Director. And this is really a very different look at human sexuality and intimacy than were used to seeing on the Silver Screen its a very intimate look at human intimacy shall we say we should also know that interior is one of only four female directors out of nineteen that have been nominated in the competition section of the festival the other sections are a little bit better with the gender balance is about forty percent female directors shes only want to four in this section and this film is also very female centric like many others in the competition we see a woman older woman who is struggling with intimacy issues we see a disabled man and it really it straddles the line between documentary and drama with. A trans woman theres a lot of a lot of different narratives here than what were used to seeing on the Silver Screen and thats one thing that we really appreciate about the. Ok so those are some of the new films you know theres a lot of new films down there but today it is also Throwback Thursday in a way isnt it. There is the barely a retrospective section of the festival and they are showing some films from the one nine hundred twenty s.

Being really looked at now because theres a new series coming out in germany on netflix. About the one nine hundred twenty s. This the roaring twentys. In berlin and its codirected by the president of this years jury trial so lets take a look. Nostalgia for the one nine hundred twenty s. Is booming like never before the period drama series babylon berlin revels in the glamour and t
