Now lets catch up on some of the other stories making headlines around the world today supporters of former brazilian president louise enough feel the silva are celebrating a Supreme Court ruling that could mean hell be freed from jail the court said people appealing conviction should remain free usually known as lula is appealing his sentence for corruption. Chiles president Sebastian Pinera has announced measures to increase security and toughen sanctions for bandoliers and following 3 weeks of protests that have left 20 people dead the measures include a ban on protesters wearing hoods to mask their identities intensified aerial surveillance and strengthened police intelligence. In iraq and the government protesters have been killed in baghdad and the port city of basra Security Forces have used live rounds and tear gas in the latest disturbances they began in october over government corruption and a lack of jobs. Frances president obama well mcallen has taken other european leaders by surprise by criticizing nato in an interview with the economist magazine mccall said the alliance was experiencing brain death he claimed its being undermined by a lack of coordination and by the unpredictability of us President Donald Trump but chess well im going to machall here in germany the head of nato un stalls and back have rejected those remarks part of the berlin wall is displayed outside nato headquarters in brussels 30 years after it fell yen stoltenberg is meant to be celebrating the anniversary of the victory over communism but instead hes declaring his alliance isnt dead nay too strong. United States North America and europe we do more together than got done for decades. One of natos most important members has spoiled the party in a historic week for the alliance Emmanuel Mccall is calling into question some of natos founding principles in a magazine interview the french president said the mutual defense pact was in danger of breaking down. He said what we are currently experiencing is the brain death of nato and you have no coordination whatsoever of strategic Decision Making between the United States and its nato allies its last months events in syria that have worried 1st the alliances largest member the United States announced a troop pullout without consulting its allies in another Alliance Member turkey marched into Northern Syria despite the fact he meant objections of perlin and paris theyre worried it threatens european security. But does this all add up to a threat or just a blip in nato history nato and germany insisted in berlin that the alliance is still alive and well. Even if we do have problems and even if we do disagree on the german perspective nato is very much in our interest its our security alliance. For its part carlin has been signaling an increased commitment to the alliance visiting trainees soldiers defense minister and it played complicated said shes in favor of making nato has 2 percent spending mandatory she at least is optimistic about the western Alliance Even as other members questioned its future. Lets bring in our Political Correspondent told us. So is having a bit of a crisis it seems told us with the french leader talking of brain death is germany in any position to help put the Alliance Back on course. I would say germany is enough political capacity to play a leading role in nato germany has defended to nato many many times in fact german leaders have called nato indispensable and we just saw there what im going to merkel have to say about nato so politically certainly germany is one of nato is main defend as another question terry would be whether germany could play a leading role militarily specially given the problems that the German Military is facing problems that weve also reported here at length so you have to see these as a 2 side process on the 100 politically germany contraire leading role militarily that is another question altogether now the German Defense minister is talking about germany shouldering more Global Responsibility when it comes to security but were not hearing much from chancellor merkel herself how much support is there in germany tomas for beefing up the military. It is a difficult question here in germany i would say most politicians do view positively the fact that germany could play a leading role internationally could play a bigger role internationally but the question is how whereas some politicians say that that could be by the think of defense spending for example by having a military presence there are those in particular in the social Democratic Front to say that that could be done differently for example by playing a larger role within the United Nations by playing a larger role when it comes to conflict prevention and dick lomas see so yes i would say many do think that germany as a big power in europe could play a bigger role internationally but they rocketeer differences as to how that can be done. Or told us as you know the u. S. Secretary of state like pompei was in germany taking part in events this week marking the 30th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall lets take a look. It was in some ways a deeply personal visit he was secretary of state my pump you used the 1st day of his stay in germany to return to his former military base he was stationed here is a soldier in the eightys one of these 2 teams back then patrolling the border that separated east and west germany to get the with the foreign minister. This was also no cajun to ease the recent tensions in the u. S. German relations. It was a bit of a walk down memory lane for me. Every. Every structure. You can. You can say i saw a piece of history that i was a tiny little part of back in the late 1980 s. I think its indicative of the incredible chord relationship between our 2 countries michael mass expressed gratitude for american support of the german reunification process is it because. We have committed to see you with great solidarity and gratitude we owe our freedom to you as well as our unity. Should an oil. Company or also wanted to show solidarity with jews living in germany in the eastern city of holland together with mass he visited the side of of recent anti semitic attack in the gunmen had shot that 2 people last month after he was unable to enter a synagogue and carry out a mass shooting thank you thank you for coming here with me today thank you for being here to be honored to those who do so who were killed here to the people who want to simply become your worship in their own faith in the way that they do. In the in my computer will meet german chancellor merkel to discuss Current Issues in foreign policy. And there are quite some issues between the u. S. And germany at the moment economically and politically thomas can this symbolic visit by the u. S. Secretary of state do anything to patch up what is currently a very strained relationship on the fact that mr pompei o has a personal history here in germany could certainly help improve things but you mentioned terry the key word of this visit namely the fact that it was symbolic it was precisely to try and show that role that the u. S. Played in german reunification and the fact that german and u. S. Ties are very strong indeed despite the fact that there are very big problems indeed and i would say that those problems are still very much on everyones minds here whether were talking about nato whether were talking about the environment whether were talking about north stream without were talking about iran whether were talking about syria theres a long list of topics where germany and the u. S. Differ but the goal of mr taylors visit was to try and show that despite those differences germany and the u. S. Do have common values and common goals overall despite the differences. Today from paya will meet german chancellor Angela Merkel and defense minister calm in berlin how do you expect that to play out. Well it will probably play out much in the same line as his previous visit in may where some of the key details were obvious need discuss some of the key issues where germany and the us defied but at the same time i do expect that once again both on that im a misstep and pay a will try and show where the us and germany see eye to eye and also where there is room for improvement always thank you very much Political Correspondent tony sparrow spain is holding another general election on sunday the 4th in 4 years in the last round of voting in april the socialist party of Prime MinisterPeter Sanchez won the largest share of the vote fell short of a majority in parliament sons has failed to form a government so in this weekends election hes hoping to increase his share of the vote but its far from certain that his strategy will pay off. Me gail. Is fighting to defend his future hes campaigning for the socialist party the p. S. L. E. Its leading the polls but likely to fall short of an outright majority. Either stands for the aspirations of us young people who want a world with more social justice. With fighting for better working conditions against Climate Change and we support feminism for me as well as. The 30 year old has been an activist for 8 years he feels that these elections could be more crucial than previous polls that show men. The center right p. P. Overtake us and come 1st the likely team up with the far right vox which is predicted to come in 3rd. And thats really scary as they would put in place inhumane policies against women our g p t people and migrants. We need to convince as many people as possible to vote for us. But that wont be easy especially since a Supreme Court verdict on cattle and separatist leaders lead to violent backlash by independent supporters it looks like voters are set to punish the socialists conciliatory approach and to reward the tough stance of the far right vox party thats especially peeling to many young people. After they are more 40 years ago we handed over catalonia to the enemies of the nation who are now controlling its Education System police and media. We need to send in all our Available Police to suffocate this revolt take back control and suspend autonomy status. We feel it at least things vox. Just what spain needs not only. We finally have a party that speaks its mind without fear and ignores the rules of political correctness. We young people can finally see outloud again that we love our country. Doesnt bow to this false feminism which is so one sided that we are the real feminists even though were right wing we are prolife and defend family values. The 24 year old is still hoping right wing parties will get the upper hand in these elections meanwhile miguel is optimistic that the socialists can still boost their share of the vait hes banking on the roughly one 3rd of focus who havent yet made up their mind and if that isnt enough a different approach might be needed. Politicians will need to take their share of responsibility if we arent able to form a coalition the other party should give the tactical support to the front runner so that the party can work as a minority government. That might indeed be an acceptable compromise for many spaniards because the one thing that voters seem to agree on is that the political deadlock in spain finally and. Indeed obviously is the lewis who filed that report joins us now from madrid all the last day of campaigning in the spanish election the day is just Getting Started there in madrid where you are what can we expect. Well the Political Parties will hope theyre closing rallies today either here in the capital of madrid or in barcelona the capital of catalonia which is the catalonia she has obviously been one of the all the main issues in the Election Campaign now the politicians will try to convince convince they sway voters who havent made up their mind yet about a 3rd of them according to polls and they will also try to convince the voters to actually go to the polls because many people are just tired of spanish politics and analysts predict that abstention could actually reach a record high this sunday. As you mentioned there catalonia independence is a big issue in this election but its not the only one what else is on voters minds. Well absolutely there are other things that are preoccupying the spanish festival the economy which is slowing down and very high unemployment here in spain but also busy gender violence theres been a debate going on in spain for several years now to better protect women against gender violence but the country hasnt had a fully functioning government for more than a year and law attempts to to reform the law have kind of been stalling now this debate has been held between the different parties involved in the Election Campaign most of them saying you know we need to better protect women vote of the also whats the far right party saying no we dont need to do that and actually we need to better protect men so its certainly a hot topic here in spain in the Election Campaign how likely is it least of that this election will yield a stable government. Well you know the idea when interim Prime Minister pedro sons school snap elections was of the to increase his share of the vote now lets like this is probably not going to work out hes actually probably going to lose some of his seats in parliament now its going to be very complicated for him to build a coalition seems that the spanish are really not good at that and also that the parties actually dont agree on any strategy the p. S. O. The socialist party says that they want to form a minority government other parties say no we want to form a coalition with you and i think many spaniards are just confused looking at them and following the discussion is very unclear if these election will actually saw of the political deadlock and some analysts hours already speculating there might be another election ahead just in a few months in spain lisa thank you very much for bringing us up to date is lisa lewis in madrid. Now for more of our special coverage of the 30th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall its one of the darkest chapters of the history of former east germany parents forced to give their youngsters up for adoption because the regime said they were disloyal hundreds of such cases have been documented a reporter and you call met a woman who spent decades looking for her daughters d. Whenever sabine itself feels despair she takes a walk in the forest during the past 35 years shes felt this way often. Those years i always had it in the back of my mind i have 2 children and how are they and whenever i saw people taking a walk with older children or a mother with her pram or playing with her child all these things would trigger that feeling by me who. Gave birth to 2 daughters in the former east germany in the 1980 s. But her joy was short lived a few years earlier she had tried to flee east germany but was caught and convicted reason enough for the Youth Welfare office to come to the house and take the children away. In the 1st moment i stood there paralyzed then i ran out the door after them and yelled where are you taking my daughter give me back my child the officer turned around pointed a finger at me and said if you dont quite down now i will call the police and you will have to go to jail. They have given me 3 years probation so if i did anything i would go to prison i just stood there and asked myself whether i should protest or stay. Happy at least. Sasson of us another story. 7 its happened in italy gave up but after the garden wall came down she started gathering evidence in the 1990 s. She managed to connect with her older daughter but the years apart had created an estrangement too big to bridge and they broke off contact just one year ago her younger daughter suddenly made contact was unable to cope. Its as if they were not the forget their 1st phone card i will never forget that i think all the neighbors heard everything but i didnt care. I vampire and then on we talked on the phone every day and it kept growing from there then after more than 30 years of separation mother and daughter finally met i. Have yesterday i thought my heart would burst. Before i couldnt handle the situation i was hugged and cuddles and i didnt know how to respond suddenly this person was standing there too i was related i think i only realized that part later on of the section the letters to his ear did you immediately recognize her yeah you know i get your childs. Biggest this. Now is have you know its up can take walks in the forest with the youngest daughter and she has plans she will finally be able to meet her grandchildren and to make up for decades through lost time.
