The seriousness of his crime means hes unlikely to be released early bashar also faces another trial this time on charges of raping an 11 Year Old Girl. Was killed more than did abuse chief Political CorrespondentMelinda Crowe whos been following this story welcome. Despite this Life Sentence people are still concerned and saying that its too lenient why. One of the harshest sentences that a german court can hand down and Life Sentences dont necessarily mean here in
germany that a convict spends the entire rest of his life in prison and thats because the countrys constitution places a very strong focus on human rights and many criminologists view such life long sentences as problematic in terms of human rights but the fact is that in cases of exceptional severity where the crime has been especially heinous a court can say that it is basically excluding any possibility of early parole as is often given after about 15 years of Life Sentence thereby ensuring that the convicted person does remain in prison for longer and thats the case here this court said we exclude the possibility of early parole thereby handing down what is in fact a very strong sentence and i think that most commentators definitely do see it that way though this is a killing that sparked quite a heated debate here in germany about the countrys Asylum System and its failure to do pull its rejected Asylum Seekers so presumably there has been much political
fallout. Well in fact there was a great deal of discussion at the time that the case began that the crime was committed with germanys largest tabloid for example running a headline that said if he had been deported she would still be alive showing pictures of bashar and his victim far right groups picked up on the debate and in fact the government then did engage in a very rigorous examination of its entire Migration System but especially of the provisions that concern deportation of migrants who have applied for asylum and been refused as was the case with ali the shy and his family the procedures have been tightened up since then and if you look at Public Opinion the young on the far right in fact many many german citizens no longer would put migration and
deportation issues at the top of their concerns the far right nonetheless does still very much instrumental eyes this topic. On the wider issue theres been a growing number of serious about criminality amongst Asylum Seekers here in germany what the fuck. Here the evidence is somewhat contradictory or lets say complicated you may remember that about a year ago President Donald Trump weighed in on this with a tweet saying that crime rates in germany had rasta clean increased since the influx of migrants that is simply not True Crime Rates in germany have been falling ever since the early 1990 s. As the chancellor in fact pointed out in response to mr trump nonetheless there are some studies that show that there has been an uptick in Violent Crime in some regions and that some of that uptick may be associated with migrants the main reason for that is amongst the migrants were many many young unaccompanied men
young men account for a much higher proportion of crime in general than other groups of the population so the fact that the migrant population includes a number of a disproportionate number of young men is one reason that in some regions we have seen that slight increase in Violent Crime. Political correspondent Melinda Crane thank you. Youre watching the news live from brother very renewed fears for the health of germanys chancellor after she was seen shaking again its the 3rd time in the past Month America has been seen in this condition in public this latest occurrence happened as she stood with finlands visiting the Prime Minister until they were watching military almost to mark his arrival. More from d. W. Political correspondent 5 in the front of our welcome 5 year what more can you tell us. Well what was already said she had these incidents before it was always in
situations like that where she had to stand still the 1st time it occurred when the ukrainian president selenski was in berlin at that time it was a very hot day in berlin so her self said afterwards that she drank 3 glasses of water and felt fine afterwards and that she was all obviously dehydrated and at that time that was very understandable for everyone but then weeks later she had a similar incident and that was inside it was cool and so that was the moment when people started to speculate and worry a little bit because one always has to bear in mind and has a reputation for being very good physical condition she has hardly ever missed a day due to illness and so this 3rd incident now today is somewhat irritating for many here in germany so what is the chance to say well she held this Press Conference she seemed perfectly fine and she was laughing and she also said that
she had met the finnish Prime Minister just a couple of days ago ago at the longest e. U. Summit ever so just to give you an idea of her schedule date leave and then she was asked in this Press Conference directly on on this shaking and maybe we can just listen what she said to this. At this time fine i said recently that ive been dealing with this since the last military honors with president s in n. C. This is obviously not completed but ive made progress and i would have to live with this for a while but i feel very good and theres no need to worry about me make it to the airport. Yes so this is the message of im going im fine theres no need to worry but obviously there are people who do worry about her so clearly this is a personal issue for the chancellor but she is the childs the political implications around the haitians. I mean one has to say that in germany theres a culture of of Great Respect in dealing with personal Matters Health matters like
this and we havent heard a politician for example demanding more information on these incidents and it might as well be that she just goes on holiday now later in the summer she will go on Holiday Relax and come back and everythings fine i mean we know that she has already said that this will be her last term in office and so far she hadnt had to skip any of her appointment she held her schedule as planned every day even during those those deadly incidents so maybe she just returns and everythings fine from holiday if not those questions will remain on her state of the front of us thank you.

Manhattans financial district the greater the gold have been celebrated in Ticker Tape Parades for more than a century. The navajos in the World Cup Final on sunday and happen how old it is game changes for the way they push themselves and equal pay issue in the sport. Well hear from our reporter in new york in just a moment 1st a word with tom not get on. Well take a look at those live pictures as we as we speak but. What set this team a pot in the tournament well in the end a fair few things i mean they went in as one of the favorites in the tournament but there were quite a few favorites who were tipped to possibly take home the top 2 this year but in the end the usa showed themselves to be the best team at the tournament by a fair distance now if you look at a few of the other of those favorites norway for example among them they were eventually the by england and it was back on great england who were knocked out in
the far in the semifinal but they are the usa a similar story with japan a very strong team and finalist of course in 20112015 defeated by The Netherlands and The Netherlands with unconquered in the final by the usa the france of course the host with directly by the usa now one of the things that the u. S. Have strength in this war is a lot of experience now carli Lloyd KriegerMegan Rapinoe tobin heath. On the pitch at the time of the foreigner in the foreign one sunday and for all of those sundays foreign it was the World Cup Final now you dont get that kind of experience without the talent and the professionalism that goes with it and those are of course. Strengths for the players of an incredible unity among members of the team i think probably the key thing that sets this team apart that was their confidence. And it was bordering on arrogance they were criticised
perhaps you know. Occasionally overexuberance. Assurance but for an opponent when youre playing against a team with that level of self belief it really makes it very difficult and of their own abilities its very intimidating and fortunately for the usa there are always able to back that up with actions on the pitch and stay with us were going to cross to new york or were going to have a word with a reporter whos actually at the parade in new york he is benjamin. Joins us on the line well what surprised like. I dont know show me york its amazing its a family Party Thousands of people have gathered here in Downtown Manhattan to greet their will champions a lot of 9 a lot of children and a lot of girls also be far more than just play a role model in this play is that its an amazing atmosphere right now why has this team have such an impact on the country. And of our own people a and me that its
not just because of their performance on the field the exceptional t. V. They started playing against thailand with 30 goals thats the record itself they woke up at 3 but also because of their actions off the field so many elsie. So this is a game that is likely to have a long term impact on the u. S. Game. Absolutely not just on the u. S. Game its possible that they also change the image that people have worldwide about womens soccer when we look at the ratings when we look at how many people follow this well kept it definitely wont change from molding just the image that people have of stalker here in the u. S. What they want there was a championship last sunday. I would have people made by the way that players like the mega rip a no make sport with politics. Most of them when you
are a person in the Public Interest that youre also always talking of all about political they think its a strong statement yesterday she gave an interview to c. N. N. Anderson cooper thing that she would like President Trump to include everybody and now we have to see if she already the whole team will be as if the capital theyve got another indication there but they say that is correct and its important when you have such an important that is in the society to also you know to get things like that were talking to thanks for joining us Benjamin Alvin is a group of there in new york clearly having a good time. Cant back into it with tom get away from w. Sports not suddenly stuck here in studio with. This figure but not last fall into this as a team that is likely to have a long term impact not just on the u. S. Game but across the world yeah absolutely i mean i think its also important to places in the kind of context of the world cup as it has been so far this summer. I
think its probably fair to say fair to say that weve experienced a watershed moment for the womens game in slightly more general terms now Cool Pictures like this are going to have a fantastic impact in the u. S. And the fact that theyre going to be seen around the world you know theyre also not going to be forgotten too soon but they say in many ways was the biggest tournament for the womens game in. History in terms of investment in terms of the attention that its received weve heard countless records being broken you know in terms of Viewing Figures in many places around the world of course though to go back to these team moments like this really require kind of figures of identification and icons thats what makes a moment like this very memorable and in making rypien oh alex morgan when we see pictures of them driving through manhattan on an open top bus we can champagne after the tournament that theyve just had you know pictures like that are going to hang around in the memory you know for as much as this team has done i think its also important to say that you know the womens game in general has been taken
a fair bit more seriously after this tournament and you know when people look at eventually talk about the rise of the womens game 2019 is going to be an important moment in that story tom get all the data to support thank you for.
