Im now joined by d. W. Correspondent peter graven who has been following the ceremony for us peter how did the dignitaries today honor those who try to sesame oil filler i think the the common factor was that they all empathize how important it is in politics in history on the streets of berlin if you so will to be true to your own conscience it was very clear today that and very few of the individuals who were involved in this substantial plot played by transfer from barack to assassinate hitler were perfect individuals were perfect democrats many of them it succumbs to hit many of the mid forties wars and many of the mid had welcomed his triumphs and many of them of their they waited far too long before they staged the attempt in 144 and it was life but they were all true to their conscience when it finally came to it they paid the highest price in her speech today chancellor merkel repeatedly touched on the need to try to keep the memories of those anti hitler conspirators alive and the obligation that people have to them today lets lets have a listen. Lets just live up to this obligation to volunteer in a small launches you know just come in right before the resistance fighters and to commemorate them also by almost sounds i mean strongly and i think you know it often peaceful way of living together let us honor them by showing moral economy much because that by and by defending the values that are common to us all incidentally and that looking away and being silent. Peter what you make of those words i hone in on the words for moral courage because i think what shes talking about there specifically is having the courage to defend people who come under grace is to pressure cover come under. Somebodys pressure on the streets here of berlin for example in german life and shes specifically talking about someone called valid to look or i think who were you we as we know was a couple of several weeks ago was effectively assassinated in his garden by a far right gunman and basically what im really saying here is that we should all each and every one of us have the civil coverage to defend our politicians and our representatives who we have chosen to do politics for us you know and then she went on to get even more specific making a connection todays European Union again lets have another lesson. We europeans and. Other left in the united. To day we need to defend the future of the European Union incidently Big International is the problem is that we need to do so more than ever and this actually applies to be only europe we need to act martin not try not unilaterally globally not nationally. For haps a message to people far beyond the gathering today its that medical mantra isnt it you need multilateral or not unilateral thats what shes saying here and shes returning to a very familiar message i mean i interpret that as a little bit of not really belonging to todays events and my sense is that shes got her mojo back she had a couple of she was in a phase where she seemed like a lame duck she had a couple of so setbacks you had Health Worries but shes had one or 2 good weeks recently in that for me was the statement im ready to battle again for a values based in europe its your signature yeah exactly that you crave and thanks so much you.
