As it happened a man who gives no sign of willingness to engage in protests to think that any kind of dialogue would be a sign of weakness and as you mentioned has been engaging the russians but that itself is a 2 edged sword because the russians want to draw closer maybe even create some kind of joint country ending the independent the better route thats been looking to try to avoid a decade but taking the bull now he may find that hes left not very much in charge of the country he has said being essentially a russian governor of a problem that is the potential he faces he would take that russian help for now no one has any clue there is no roadmap this situation is why doesnt.

Germanys president has condemned the far right activists who tried to storm the German Parliament building on saturday evening as happened alongside a demonstration that drew nearly 40000 people to the capital to protest germanys coronavirus restrictions that protest was broken up by police but a Smaller Group of demonstrators later reconvened outside that i stock lawmakers from across the political spectrum have called their actions a disgrace. Several 100 demonstrators broke through barricades in front of germanys parliament their ice time they so outnumbered the Police Officers that they were able to shove through demonstrators seem to be launching from the far right place and many black white and red children running clients. Senior general politicians said they were shot in treating Preston Frank part time i am. Imperial flags and far right slogans in front of the German Parliament are an intolerable attack on the heart of our democracy we will never accept it. When Senate Interior minister andrus guys will have tried but failed to prevent the demonstration in the courts. God or for considering the background of german history i dont believe it serves democracy for us to dakar heads in knots take a position to bow to them in the name of freedom of expression we democrats have to clearly say what is right and what is wrong with the face of. Experts warn that demonstrations like that on saturday provide an ideal space for radical movements to win over more people to their cause. That story im now joined from the Start Building by the w. s joe joe it also is part of that right now but it was slightly different story on saturday wasnt it. Thats right on the steps behind me several 100 protesters had easily broken down a small barrier in front of the building and overcame the few police that were stationed here they stayed on the steps for quite a while actually before more Police Reinforcements came and they had to use tear gas to move the crowd the crowd was very bold and they stay for quite a long time waving those flags and they didnt actually manage to get inside the building and the German Parliament itself is not actually sitting at the moment so it was mostly a symbolic action but a very its a delicate action indeed because as the interior minister whole c. Office says this building really is the center of german democracy and the building itself has played a Critical Role at several junctures in germany germanys history 933 it was burnt down and it was used by adult hitler as a pretext to suspend Civil Liberties then it was stormed during world war 2 by the russian army then it was really left in ruins for many years only to be reopened in the 1990 s. As the seat of the newly reunified german german republic and it was designed in such a way that people can easily come inside and see whats going on a very open building and in fact thats one of the reason theres so much anger today is that people feel that if you want to have a say in german democracy you can do so using democratic channels you can find a lecture will support and that really is one thing that this anti coronavirus movement doesnt yet have is a lot of public support in fact according to the latest polls the ones that were taken after the last demonstrations around 90 percent of germanys germans say that they do not support this anti coronavirus movement those protests a different kind of flags there for example also the imperial war flag explain the symbolism of that wasnt such an affront for to be flown also at the German Parliament. The red white and black flag that we saw yesterday it was the flag of the german empire open till 918 and different versions of it were also used by the knots. Sees the flag itself the version that we saw is not actually banned but it is a symbol of the far right any particular one group called iraqs Political Movement which has come under the scrutiny of the of the state Security Forces who worry that this group could be a threat to democracy in fact its been said that some of their members have been collecting weapons and for that reason it really is this is flag is a symbol of the far right and its why the the the foreign minister heiko mosque has said that it was a shame that that particular flag was waved here on the steps of this building at the center of germanys democracy we also saw some other flags being waved for example the United States flag in the russian flag were also present here yesterday which really goes to show that this movement is bringing together very disparate group and sort of has a quite an incoherent message if you dont use Jill Dougherty reporting from the high star thank you joel black athletes in the u. S. Have been drawing attention to social justice issues in recent weeks here in germany a professional basketball player has now followed suit after berlin decided to change the name of more street because of racism accusations moses poking on the citys street and train station Uncle Toms Cabin to also be given a new name the slaver iraq book was popular in germany and a berlin bar took on the name which was then useful nearby street and station on a. German pro basketball player Moses Paul King wants to see some changes in berlin. He wants to change the name of this street and train station from Uncle Toms Cabin to Something Else but why. Come into contact with the street and the subway station almost fall on have you 5 years and i had a bad feeling in my stomach you know. All the stuff that i encountered in my life made me feel you know just wont call a lot about it mostly Uncle Toms Cabin is a novel about a slave written by american author Harriet Beecher stowe in 852 the book was considered to be antislavery but it has always been controversial. Full of racial stereotypes and. All kinds of racial scenarios in the way of thinking back in the day in stows view slaves could be free but they could not assume a place in American Society on equal footing with whites. Who are still races she was just against slavery you know when people tend to forget it. Is a good and courageous slave who loved his master even after he was sold to a slave trader stage depictions portrayed uncle tom as a subservient fool who battles down to the white man a slave who will sell out any black man if it will curry favor with whites calling someone in time is disparaging and offensive. From the character of the protagonist originates this sort of to tom thats why i pulled king started a petition to change the name it has over 13000 signatures already already started a conversation in politics about it within that certain parties that are responsible for the district the 5 of you like isnt something in the race and another people think is that this is various reasons i feel like we have to talk should Uncle Toms Cabin be changed its not going to solve that issue by just naming one name but its up to the fair good to have in everyday life you know it would change that.

We spent 4 years looking for an apartment moving every few months and it was hard but when i see our children going to school it seems like time has passed more quickly than that. Time to get under way the children like going to school. And. The solomons had to move 10 times before they found an apartment of their own like many Refugee Families all they could get were temporary. The constant moves meant they didnt have as much time to study german expat hoped but they didnt give up for the sake of the children. Thats why they left syria to give their children a better life. Their home in record was destroyed by a bomb many were injured desperate to leave in 2015 they decided to flee to europe. We met up with a family in turkey where they were hoping to make the dangerous journey across the mediterranean at bay i was afraid but determined a little bit of me died every day in syria especially after our home was destroyed. I died a 1000 deaths every time i heard the fighter jets in the end i said if we die trying to cross the mediterranean at least ill only die once and i hope will die together my husband my children and me.

The solomons are grateful that they are in germany but getting here was an ordeal they wont forget any time soon. I often think about our journey.

I just had a baby and a beer brought some food down every evening so i had some time to relax that was so sweet. And with the kids things have become much more lively since they moved and. Not everyone has been this welcoming since 2015 and far right and the immigrant parties have gained influence.

And then she was taken to the hospital and i tried to speak with her but she could no longer talk and she didnt recognize me anymore. And i thought if you want to see more staff i was just 14 when his father died as the eldest child he took on a lot of responsibility his mother raised 9 children on her own. She must have been a very strong woman. A very strong woman yes very strong. Youve experienced a lot of terrible things and borne a lot of pain but i think youre doing well now keep looking into the future and concentrating on yourself and your children you can go to the therapist come out of the poor thing you can be proud of yourself doctor with your strength.
