She came here to eat a pizza and drink a coke and then she was shot down. There and saw 5 or 6 people lying on the floor all of them dead it was a massacre but it wasnt. Very scattered here now. Where i live down that the womans daughter died. Thank you. I ask all of hono to understand what happened the tragedy. For us were devastated and the children. Also coming up we have all the latest from the 70th birthday an International Film festival. Well take you to the World Premiere of johnny depps new movie minamata about the war photographer w. Eugene smith and all we awake or are we dreaming that is the question at the center of the argentinian art house film more from the berlin International Film festival coming up on the day. Germany is in mourning after ted people were killed by a suspected right wing extremist and why in this day and night security is being stepped up across the country to counter what all forces according to a very high Security Threat from the far right the city of hideout near frankfurt has a multiethnic population of about 100000 some of the shooting victims were of turkish descent others had kurdish origins the w. s a matter relative of one of the victims the Kurdish Cultural Center and how now has become a place of grief and suffering many who knew the victims of the far right terrorism here have come to pay their respects to fear hot a 23 year old heating technician who was gunned down as he tried to buy cigarettes. Thats the worst of it for hot wanted to do something good for the people of. His grandfather was a guest worker who helped pave the streets of hono. For how it wanted to give people a warm place to call home now thats no longer possible i can barely sleep hes a relative a fair hans who he says was a person who love life. He wants politicians and Civil Society to do more to combat racism. Its a slow doesnt mean people know its getting real people died young people like you and me lost their lives now its time to do something and its high time just. Now there is also the question of more protection for immigrants and their descendants. Most of them has lived in germany since 1988 but the shop owner does not want to be ruled by fear. Deported just really dont have to protect my store why should they stand around for 12 hours just waiting or for if you live in fear then you will just stay home and never go out. 18 months to once to feel free and not lose the courage to face life in memory of the victims of far right terrorism. This is the task given to all these people we wont be intimidated i dont want to have things protection wherever i go no i want to be able to walk freely to the market and smoke. And to not let all the happiness be taken from life but 1st the pain must be put behind them. Go straight to her now then well be joined d w correspondent to kates abrading welcome kates whats going on now. Well things are winding down here now phil but many people have been out again today paying their respects to the victims of the shooting on wednesday night and you might be able to see me see behind me sorry the candles that have been of relates of milk flowers have been laid out today and around 200 people met earlier in the day to you on the marketplace where they joined hands in a sign of solidarity against far right extreme extremism and just behind me as well a couple of hours ago locals and friends of many of the victims gathered here to hold a minutes silence to say today really has been yet another day to try and begin to process the shock thats been left here and also mourn the victims who lost their lives on wednesday i what have people been telling you process the shock. Well moving on now as they try to be given to process the shock as you say many of them described to me today particularly people of color and just send people who have got turkish grandparents or turkish themselves for example have said how they found it quite surreal today is the reality begins to kick in of what happened and many of them said to me it could have been me it could have been here in this shop that i own it could have been in this barber shop that i go to every day and many people are asking will there be another attack with of course theyre all being a lot of questions asked of politicians right now and people here want to know answers and they also want to see more action taken against far right extremism theres a lot of for sure ation being voiced here in the moment particularly against politicians the politicians that have responded as politicians do with condolences promises of auction what if theyd been say. Well already yesterday the german president frank by this time i was being heckled as he arrived as people were demanding what are you going to do and we heard today some some words at least of intentions to take more action from interior minister horse their office saying that more police will be brought to the streets of germany than at airports mosques and while that is to a certain extent welcomed by some people here in hand a lot of people are telling me that they dont want to be feeling like they are being protected they want instead a fundamental rethinking radius that why is this protection even necessary in the 1st place and that is of course a much more complicated issue that needs to be dealt with both politically and in German Society to. What are we learning about the suspect who was a legal. Well we had already heard from prosecution that he had indeed been mentally unstable and also of course from the manifesto if you will the video that emerged online just a couple of days before he carried out the shooting here. It was confirmed that he had strong beliefs too in far right extremist violence but the prosecution actually confirmed today that they had actually had previous contact with him but it was actually the suspect himself who had filed a criminal complaint. Actually claiming that there was and then only identified a secret organization in germany an overarching organization which he said to quote this claim was tapping into peoples brains and gaining information so that these organizations could then control world events so very clearly this was a man who was very clearly mentally unstable but also very convinced of his far right extremist ideology because. Of this there have been calls for germanys official opposition part of the far right to be investigated why because there is there any evidence of an a. F. P. Connection. Well there isnt any direct evidence to suggest thats of course the far right if the policy mentioned in this manifesto if you will that i mentioned as well that was posted by the suspect but there have been calls over the last couple of days from leading politicians from germanys middle ground posses and theyve been calling for the a. F. P. To be put under surveillance and what theyre trying to get at really is theyre claiming that its the that the far right a. F. P. Has played a role in making some of the rhetoric which is being heard in germany and being used by the far right now making it more socially acceptable and saying that they have played a role in the shift to the far right that were seeing in germany at the moment and also parts of this money effect star this video that the suspect posted online passive that have also been compared to speeches that have been made by some more full right leaning members over the f. T. Including the own hook of rather high profile fall right to member of the a. F. C. And of course the a. F. P. Has rejected these claims as sayin that the politicians from Germany Center ground posses a simply trying to instrumental lies this terror attack which happened just a couple of days ago but kate the classic soil in which farai talked of it he grows is that of deprivation and the need for scapegoats but germany is a prosperous country so while so many germans turning to the far right and the likes of a f. T. Well that is a very very long complicated story of course when we look at the extreme far right thats certainly something thats been festering in germany for many many years now but focusing on the far right a. F. D. Party in particular there are several reasons there if you look to the east theres people that ive spoken to in the last couple of years saying that they feel left behind in that theyre voting for the f. T. Out of protest similarly theres people in western parts of western germany who have lost jobs because of coal mining closures for example they too have been disillusioned by some of the Center Ground of big tent policies and have instead across that ballot paper next to the far right a. F. D. But this is very very complicated many people that ive spoken say over the last couple of years in the some of these areas that ive mentioned are simply also very afraid is the sense that i got theres a fear of the unknown as a fear of change and often you find that a lot of people who are voting for the i have to iraq actually people that live in places that have very small numbers of migrants there are even no migrants or Asylum Seekers at all and its very much you get the sense that there is a feeling of fear and a feeling of chain of fear for the change an unknown here in germany and thats why certainly many people are voting for the f. D. A. Good talking to. Brady and. Migration agency says a rubber dinghy packed with 91. 00 migrants and set out for europe from libya has apparently gone missing in the mediterranean its another harrowing statistic in the story of migrants who feel they have no choice but to make the perilous journey the w. s that made drugs so rich is on board the rescue ship the ocean cycling where he spoke to one migrant from an overcrowded boat this week. When the rescue crew sets off they dont know what to expect or whose lives they might save. They only know that somewhere out there people are at risk of drowning. But one of those pulled from the sea is 24 year old michael from god. Its a team from Doctors Without Borders an s. O. S. Maybe to the navy hadnt helped he could have died. You know what sank walls was way very small. Little mans we are trying to remove the boat we did was not there saying it down but i mean there was always here vacant. Is there life we download everything them to. The rescue mission is always a race against time the margaret boats could sink at any moment. Migrants like michael are only truly safe once theyre aboard the ocean viking then they have a chance to process their terrifying experience. Michael was a guest worker in libya for a year before he was forced to flee. Is not easy. Stuff i am from libya yes we do you know its well its youd sent us some time to look at field they put money on you until you find money to feed them there were no new. Michael felt he had no choice but to escape libya because of the countrys civil war. Because did it for long because i live this morning pashtuns. Once and board the rescue ship the migrants get medical treatment food drink and clean clothes as well as a new lease on life. I have never seen the joy of life in such sympathy to the fear of imminent death the risk is only complete when the survivors all disembarked in a place of safety and we are not awaiting a response from the telly and multi is. To allow these people to finally reach a safe port. Has been on board the ocean vikings for more than a week joins us now on the welcome it was a situation then. Well the weather is much better than yesterday and you wont believe how important this is for the mood of the people especially for those who have to sleep on deck we have 274 survivors on board the ocean biking and there is not enough space in the containers so approximately 50 of them have to sleep on deck that the blankets and an orange plastic survival back which is kind of emergency sleeping bag i even dont want to imagine what happens if its going to rain in the days to come 2024 hours a day that medics Doctors Without Borders that are taking care of the people so far they have been treated over 200 people that medics have identified one man. At risk of developing significant complications from injuries sustained while because they are rated in libya. Are consistent with having been subjected to daily beatings and 2 for the men have been identified with similar in. Requiring a photo op so they need to see a hospital a real hospital the sooner the better i was a day before yesterday on one of the fast rescue boats and had to help out a little bit and back to the ocean biking and to take care of 5 small children i see the day on deck thing the girls who maybe 23 years old i dont know was so happy to show me how new teddy bear that one of the medics gave for it so i mean its good to them the situation is stable. So in your head there are more than 200 of. The boats while you still are saying why havent you pulled into port. Well. We were still waiting to hear back from the authorities in malta italy in as you know we asked for a place of safety for the survivors 2 days ago on fortunately they didnt reply to us so far. Are very much hope that they will allow us to disembark as soon as possible do that because the people on board have already been through so much both in libya and on the edge early they really need and deserve to reach a man suit so in the meanwhile there is only one other rescue boat operating in the something military at the moment who knows how many people will risk their lives fleeing libya and the hours that they stoop calm because i think our duty and responsibility and obligation of the captains of all ships in this area not only this area but you know this is something that goes for the whole world to help those in distress at sea. Some of this sounds like one of the stories that. A ship satires and saying waiting for someone to say yes and during that time. They just become. Well right now of the people on board. Doing ok i think the guys from dr without borders and said that on the bay frankly its very helpful the food is good we have a couple of guys from the philippines that i cook cooking. If i want to hear really good rock and roll music i just have to please my room and visit the kitchen at the same time its a little bit like being in the on false i sleep in a bunk bed and you have to be careful when you step down that that is also the room where 4 of us work most of the 1516 hours a day and if necessary even longer discipline is very very important on the boat the ocean biking to have conduct of code of conduct on board. We live to get very tight space rescuers are working hard to prepare food for the survivors to keep the deck clean make sure that the people on board got everything they need to feel safe to save people lives as really a serious hard very often dangerous work ive met people on board who have saved thousands of people peoples lives in the last years rescuers who when they arrive on the spot and see people already swimming in the sea. Sometimes at night have to decide what to do to save people who have seen death so its its really unbelievable its not credible a very very professional team here at home with thanks for joining us. Correspondent. A rescue ship ocean viking. And today 2 of the berlin International Film festival the stars dont get much brighter than johnny depp hes premiering his new film minamata in which he plays in practice. Photographer he said he felt of personal responsibility to tell her story her business covered up the mercury poisoning of japanese coastal communities in the 1970s q what the hell. Youre all that anger for eugene smith led his field and he knew it as employers knew that all too well but then smith stumbled upon a story that was unbelievable when he knew he had a photograph. Talking about minamata. Ive been following it in the herald in the times small stories every couple of months where not only recovered i mean its in we got them fresh. And thats all those poor people have to be director Andrew Liveris is film is about an environmental catastrophe that hit the japanese city of minamata. In the 1950 s. The cheese so chemical corporations factory released waste laden with organic mercury into the scene thousands of people suffered extreme nerve damage as a result babies were born with severe deformities learning the history of what happened in minamata was. The fact that weve even happened at all is quite shocking it spared no one and. There was absolutely nothing. That they could do about it at 1st the corporation denied responsibility leading to growing outrage among locals. To sort of. Smith went to japan and documented the events in minamata the victims and the conflict with the company johnny depp provides a hard bitten portrayal of the heavy drinking smith as a man who is obsessed with his work. Ive always. Had a kind of strange fascination with. The huge unsmooth of eugene smith where hes gone through an experience. What he sacrificed to capture those moments you know the captions for those. Things to Eugene Smiths pictures of minima the scandal Drew International attention and the company faced prosecution the film a straightforward homage to a photographer who never wanted to make sensational images but rather to rebuild his craft to enlighten the world. So lets join the doublers head of the humphrey and David Leavitts among the posh frocks some expensive suits of the 70th birthday and Film Festival welcome chops so i guess all eyes will be on the minimal answers premiere tonight. Absolutely phil i think this film is a really good example of when the bell in our lives up to its reputation of being a political Film Festival at heart i mean this film is one of the 1st here youve got an International Film festival to really tackle an environmental issue at least to put it front and center of the festival itself not johnny depp was reportedly very dedicated to this film he was a producer on it himself he was the one i mean he really came up with the idea of putting it you know making it into cinema and the crew spent you know up to 2 years back and. To this remote coastal part of japan to tell this story about a very serious issue at the end of the day because were talking about not 3 poisoning of up to 20000 people i mean cases still being discovered today in fact and the photographer he plays w. Eugene smith is actually credited based on this spread he did for life magazine with giving birth to modern day environmental coverage in the media and now speaking of the media at a press conference for the movie with johnny depp reporters here in berlin were pressing johnny depp trying to draw parallels between w. Eugene smiths own struggles with alcohol and drugs and p. T. S. D. And some troubles in johnny depps life including allegations that he himself has troubles with alcohol abuse from his exwife amber heard johnny depp didnt take the bait though he stuck to the script. Thats a big. But isnt the. Sort of house. It is for and we got a big taste of art house today with the intruder an argentinian movie the 1st in the competition that weve seen for the golden bear prize this is a psycho drama very surreal very strange its a story of a woman named who has a very traumatic experience at the beginning of the movie although were not really sure if it happened at all or as the director of this movie is an argentinean woman and one of the 1st female directors weve seen him by the name of talia mehta and he was certainly very matter there were plenty of points of dreams within dreams sometimes it was difficult to find a i think it was fair to say i couldnt so when she was supposed to be dreaming when she was awake was similarly im not sure if i could tell if i liked it or not. Im also not entirely convinced i definitely like some of the social issues it raised for example about new way feminism for example wrestling control back from the patriarchy but im not sure that its going to be a contender for the.
