longer the center of attention. many remained on sunday though and how the small day after a rally at the brandenburg gate they focused on the corona skeptic message and dismissed the previous day's aggression was he a prosecutor what happened here was chaos and some small groups who wanted to take advantage of the situation and which we who support the corona demonstration want to have nothing to do with the current was in office. yet the far right are confident place in pearland for weekends amid the rainbows and peace flags of other demonstrators and the krona skeptics didn't seem to have a problem with them being there all i'm joined now by patrick sens borg is a member of the german parliament an all american city you party he said of the parliament election oversight committee and also a member of the council of elders thanks very much for coming in today the assaults on on the parliament building saturday it's being called an attack on germany's democracies is that what it was. i think so it's going to accept people trying to enter the parliament building need to rally showing these kind of flags that we saw in the report and our president of the country made it quite clear it's totally inacceptable for democracy that people behave and react in that way and we're proud on our police of clearing the situation and mates of protesters not entering the parliament building there's a lot of question about the police presence that a lot of people saying that there weren't enough police on hand to prevent the demonstrators from doing that the violence interior minister andrius guys all says that at no time however was the parliament ever in danger do you think he's playing down what happened with that comment. i think 1st of all we shouldn't change reason and reaction the reason for that situation is sir clearly. made by as you draw tester's a mixture of people from the armchair right to the ultra left and so it's totally inacceptable the peaceful demonstrators which we want that it's possible to demonstrate for any kind of reason that peaceful demonstrators for children i'm sure will do with these people we don't accept this as a reason for the police and wants this kind of situation that was inacceptable we have to talk in the future about how we can secure our home and building better this is a tricky situation because of we have several buildings but nevertheless these kind of pictures we want don't want to see anymore and the protesters was a nice big flag and words are flags of the imperiled germany of that stood in front of the parliament those are disturbing images for so very many people not only here in germany but abroad as well but when politicians in the media devote so much attention to a fringe group and fringe groups involved these types of provocations don't we risk giving extremists exactly the public platform that they're looking for. i think that's one piece should talk about there are a lot of reports in media about this group we're talking about a very very small group of people who think about conspiracy theories who think it was a metal hat you secure yourself from bill gates and issues like that this is a very very small percentage of people who use this kind of protest for my own ends or are showing their ideology and so i think we have to make clear any kind of demonstrations free speech is possible in germany that's no doubt but we want it to be in the borders of law was scrutiny of laura's importance and i'm and of course the demonstration was a half mile and. there's a better sense virg in the parliament for the cd you the council of elders also election oversight committee thanks very much for coming into and. let's get you briefed down some of the other stories making news at this hour. lebanon's president has invited the country's basser to germany to suffer i do to form a new government as prime minister this comes after he's cured the support of jordan about his previous government quit earlier this month in the wake of the devastating root explosion. police in the us city of portland have launched a homicide investigation after a man died during clashes on saturday night fighting broke out after hundreds of supporters of president trump drove through the city trump and his democrat democratic opponents have blamed each other for the vote it's. india says it has thwarted what it calls for evocative military movements by china over a disputed border tensions are rising as the 2 countries build more roads an army facilities in the remote dock in june dozens of indian troops were killed in a brawl with their chinese counterparts on that front. a well known russian opposition blogger and radio host says he was wounded in the attack in moscow. was handed a suspended sentence on extremism charges last year for making videos criticizing president putin. well the 1st ever commercial passenger flight from israel to the united arab emirates has taken off from tel aviv airport bound for all but dopy historic flight comes after israel and the u.a.e. agreed to normalize relations and a deal brokered by the united states the u.a.e. is the 3rd arab country to establish full diplomatic ties with israel for many residents the deal means they can finally bring business and personal relationships out into the open. down of them here these are unusual days for the jewish israeli palestinian businessman from his small office in jerusalem and through travel the house been doing business with the united arab emirates has several years but always under the radar the country's had no diplomatic relations until recently as a 1st step phone lines that officially established this right now my friends are just call me for the fun of it hey man how are you know i'm a holy god i just heard the news that we could call each other the richly communication. it is is something we humans are known for civilization requires communication and work together. i read it praised the wonderful great vision of this country united arab emirates. who facilitates the certification of. alan kostas products between the he way. is on his i'm cold to the emirates for years people had to use for him providers or the internet to connect and to never do is. there a. sense to say it's actually great just imagine the deal breaks with the long head view among arab countries that normalizing ties would only come after israel and its military occupation of the palestinian territories in israel there have been a lot of firsts in the past days 1st direct interviews with and morality officials like here a t.v. channel 13 is tell of the reporters were sent immediately to upper darby and israeli new sites are reportedly unplugged in the emirates you know what is amazing normally in those cases it takes time but now everything is on the table relationship embassies flight stories and everything is moving very fast we can phone the emirates we can go there we can every interview is there only egypt and jordan have signed peace treaties with israel in the past one hopes that this new agreement will go beyond business and security matters i suspect that this will be a war more peace than the relationship with jordan there was never about blood there was never wars there was never any misunderstanding or political disagreement direct between us and the united arab emirates or anybody in the gulf for that reason so i'm really optimistic if you arab countries have signaled that they might consider following the u.n. this move it could affect if you be shaped and map off the line says in the region . earlier i spoke with the author of that report you don't use on your cramer drew so my aster of the flight indicates a new opening for israel and its arab neighbors. well i think this is what most people here would hope for i mean their clear economic and business interests but it's also a very symbolic move and as you said the flight is still in the air in what has been described as another milestone it has been crossing saudi arabian aspace is where the national line as that is the 1st and as i said here another milestone now what israelis are hoping for that it opens the country to what's the east it's going to be the 1st gulf state they can openly make business with trade with but of course they hope also that other states other arab states might follow and what we will be seeing here on this rather short visit there will be working groups working on civil matters and economic matters like tourism of the asian aquaculture and of course so this will be measured by the results bilateral agreements will have but of course also it is seen a bit. reshaping the legacy of israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu with this agreement. trimmer there here in berlin the foreign ministry has summoned developer russian ambassador after foreign journalists were detained in the capital minsk some also had their credentials was drawn this move comes after another weekend of demonstrations calling on president shango to step down police arrested more than $100.00 protesters in minsk on sunday. go away go away they chant tens of thousands hit the streets of minsk on sunday the 3rd week of protests doing their best to avoid a massive police presence. but not always with success. thousands have been detained in recent weeks opponents of the regime and of president aleksander lucas shank oh. my goodness i came here to express my disagreement with the results of the election and my solidarity with the detained people i stand for peace for belarus but not for little shanker. lucas chink of his dog in his heels since the protests began he says belarus is threatened by foreign powers not the military reports that nato has deployed their forces for drills right on our border what am i supposed to do. and he says he'll soon meet with russian president vladimir putin who has offered to send in security forces to quell the protests. telling him let's see what we can do with lame join you up sunday's protests came on the question posed perth to the crowd marked it their own way with another chant. happy birthday. this is news still to come on our program a champagne performance from formula one japie lewis hamilton at the belgian for the highlights of a race that took close to setting the record. but 1st all this week we're looking back 5 years to when hundreds of thousands of people mostly from syria the skipped war persecution and headed for the european union to seek refuge. it was a pivotal moment for the e.u. and its schengen group of open border nations some member states shut down their borders after allowing the unchecked assets of thousands of refugees mishal the biggest member of the main destination for many of those fleeing was germany how would it respond in the crisis. well with just 3 words the chancellor machall took charge and changed the course of european history you'd have used a chief political editor michelle a governor was there on this day 5 years ago as she laid out her balls. it was the moment that defined going to merkel's response to the 2015 migration crisis if you missed. it was the german equivalent of this yes we can. i was there 5 years ago when desperate migrants in hungary set off on foot towards germany just hours later i'm going to mark all single handedly decided to keep germany's borders open the scenes of an open welcoming germany went around the world. 5 years on this raises the question did germany make it and at what cost. in 2015 many an angle or merkel's own c.d.u. party were against her open arms policy but. then finance minister was one of them his key concern was losing control for today's speaker of germany's parliament it still is. for bible one has to prevent the impression that there's a loss of control that situation was crucial for a few months but we've mostly overcome its effect by now we need a european solution to these problems. instead of more europe national reflexes kicked in across the continent in germany merkel's decision helped launch a populist party into parliament the far right alternative for germany. the f.t. supports have been fizzling out until merkel's we will make it moment ignited the party's rise to become a fixture of germany's political landscape its co-founder alexander garland freely admits that merkel's open border policy helped propel his party to parliament. we didn't make it and we can't make it it's nobody's fault but it's simply impossible to let so many people from a totally different cultural background who behave so differently into a country and say we can make it. decision was humanitarian yet many also hopes the migrants would be able to meet germany's growing demand for skilled workers a new survey obtained exclusively by d w before publication shows a mixed picture 5 years on half of these refugees are in some form of employment or education the authors of the study germany did reasonably well mostly because of its economic strength. almost to the day 5 years after her yes we can moment same place same setting machall says she would do the same again. overall i would take the same decisions again that's right. but she warns of tough times ahead with its focus on a. man who will now see a phase where jenaveve rise in unemployment will make it again more difficult to get those people to work if only recently arrived here as refugees or as migrants. newcomes and she'll be gone. for now though germans are more busy with corona but debating migration both have proved to be political gain changes while germany has undoubtedly mastered the effects of 2015 economically politically i'm going to machall vowed not to let that moment repeat itself a moment that changed germany and will define her legacy. during us i was sued office director of the center for humanitarian action based here in berlin former head of the un food program in syria thanks so much for coming in today and what are you hearing from syria how many people are leaving the country today compared to 5 years ago. well today the situation in syria of course is much more stable in that sense and the migration flows are much more stable and less it has a couple of reasons one of us of course the conflict in syria but if you look at the ration policies america's promise and deed this has an often overlooked humanitarian facet mirka promise we have overseen systems to syrians in syria in the region we've neglected it and i can confirm i was in charge of some of these programs at the time and support went don't like 50 cent for a person for a day in a country with often european prices so she in made a promise and she delivered on that one myrtle's that in future we will funk 50 percent of the humanitarian needs in syria and the regions to be a role model for other countries and she delivered on this promise in a financial way one some of the policy ways and how those funds and the unitarian role of germany is playing out today there is much more to do with you mentioned the situation has stabilized what's behind that development. well if you focus on the question if people are not coming as years ago indeed this is change for several reasons one of these reasons is the controversial deal the u.s. made that's tricky is also the situation on the ground people simply leave syria as the vote a slower and neighboring countries it's pretty much the same but if we want to talk about tests of this promise made migration flows decreased to germany you must be aware that one might discuss if at some point there was a loss of control how many people are coming for a couple of months but before in the years after we have until today a situation where there is basically no easy way to reach as a refugee a german borders syrian could basically swim from syria to northern germany to make it here to ask for asylum otherwise it's illegal and to germany unless nelson dreman but we all know that the european european agreements on in this i'm not moving on so it's much more to do and i think we need to at these refugees need an option to come to europe and germany in a legal way in some number ok melissa to look forward to the refugees who are here and want to return return home do you see the possibility of enough rebuilding in syria enough financing that you're talking about including from germany to create conditions for those who have fled and want to come home to do so. at this point i think all experts agree that the situation isn't given to or allow this and this is several reasons one of those are the economic ones i'm going to break destroy with germany you mention but others are very political it's obvious that refugees are not will come going home to syria rather they will view the discriminated against they were the last ones getting that you would house back and there are a lot of through laws which make it very very difficult for you to think about coming back let alone the security situation and if this would be a safe way so we have to deal with them the still unsure as so many in neighboring countries of syria have to take a much more refugees on board but i think in deep metal in some ways was right we can make it and i think we've demonstrated that germany can stem lists and that we can host these refugees and crucially even think about taking the burden of other countries if you look at the greek islands that maurie on hundreds of sick kids in germany from us to take them to germany 6 months ago and not even the $240.00 promised us to do here so we have to take a burden even if we can only perceive were true for the major european countries rovs it off a c.-h. a thanks so much for coming into. thank you. we have some formula one now defending champion lewis hamilton coast of the victory in the belgian grand prix to increase his lead in the overall standings the britain is now just 2 wins away from matching mighty michelle schumer's record of 91 brace . the best chance to catch lewis hamilton in this race was

lady gaga who wowed the virtual crowd with a series of shows stopping outfits massed performances and 4 winners including artist of the year. you thank you thank you it's just a reminder now of our top stories this hour. german politicians from across the political spectrum have condemned an attempt to storm the parliament building in berlin by far right demonstrators president steinmeyer called it an intolerable attack on the heart of our democracy. and police in a belorussian capital have arrested more than 100 anti-government protesters on sunday and now germany's foreign ministry has

lives of commuters but there are alternatives. but we begin in iran where a crisis might economy and a 2nd wave of the coronavirus attesting people's limits. one country 3 crises the 1st is political iran's government is built around ayatollah khomeini and president rouhani a set up that's viewed with suspicion by the u.s. israel and saudi arabia in particular iran is also in broyles in long running proxy wars in syria and yemen then there's the economy strict u.s. sanctions have left iran in dire economic straits flagging oil revenues rising inflation recession even before the pandemic the economy was struggling now it's hit rock bottom. and then there's the health crisis iran was one of the 1st countries outside china to face high coronavirus infection figures. 6 months later the virus is still not under control. how are your main ians coping with all of this. after every customer disinfect his car inside and out he tells us that no one would get into his taxi otherwise despite this most people are still avoiding taxes. fear of getting infected business is bad today hammett will drive us around tehran all day finally a good assignment for him. i have a few customers who still haven't gone out because of the coronavirus crisis i go to the bank for them or shopping in the supermarket but i still only earn half as much as before the coronavirus crisis. runs grand bazaar here you'll understand why the numbers are going up again he says to me it stops at the entrance gate saying he'll go no further than here. i don't go in there it's very narrow and it's covered it's way too crowded the risk of getting infected is too high you can see for yourself i don't need to see anymore. most people in tehran are wearing masks but hardly anyone observes social distancing. we have an appointment with dr immunologist and advisor to the national coronavirus committee in just 6 days he built a covert 19 emergency clinic with the help of private donations iran is experiencing a 2nd wave of infections the government is reporting over 2000 new cases every day but any doubts that the number of confirmed cases overall is accurate. to calculate. exactly but in my opinion. real. statistics. the country had got over the 1st wave of infections at the end of april travel and lockdown restrictions were eased shops and mosques began to gradually reopen but in early june the figures started rising again videos posted online showed over crowded hospitals with patients on ventilators reports said the country lacked medical supplies and hospital staff were overwhelmed. no one is prepared to confirm those reports on camera many are also afraid to criticize the government's decision not to impose a new lockdown despite the rising number of cases any policy of the government depends on the. culture. and the economy. in our economy. or for jail economy. sanction. the people needs to war. and around 300 patients are cared for every day in this clinic one in 10 is positive they're either put into quarantine or referred to hospitals may stay has been his several times 2 weeks ago he tested positive for covert 19 today he came to get the results of his follow up test be no longer a risk myself but i can infect others i'm supposed to stay in quarantine for another 5 days the situation has gotten really intense just a few days ago there was nothing going on here and today it's really for. me to meet our dr escape he'd like the government to take more drastic action but knows there's little chance of that happening. very gallant to enforce a strict quarantine we would need enough money but we simply don't have that the government would have to support the people financially so that we can meet our daily needs but evidently it's not able to do that on one of. the countries in the midst of an economic crisis we need help with space at a jewelry designer who tells us more. 2 years ago we filmed him in his jewelry design school hundreds of students trained with him it was a real success story iranian craftsmanship sold worldwide. but then came the u.s. sanctions and the coronavirus he shows us around an empty school building and. i have branches in tehran shiraz god and other cities a total of 11 schools some cities are not red zones they have very few infections 2 schools are still open there but all the others are closed. because there was no support from the government he initially tried to continue in tehran he reduced the number of students and ensured a safe distance between the work spaces. and shut but things got worse i was also afraid to come to work it's all a bit complicated as you know the. there was some infections at the school but he doesn't want to talk about that he's worried about his students switching to the competition for now he's trying to get his company through the crisis with online courses. in the evening parked his taxi in front of his house his 11 year old daughter is only allowed out with a face mask to ride her bike for a bit his wife hardly ever leaves the house. on the run i'm normally i'd invite you into my apartment but now with the coronavirus my wife is very particular about safety so we'd better stay outside. parents live around the corner he hasn't visited them in months the few words exchanged at the window was all his parents are old and sick he tells us and his job is risky. my mother had cancer i watch out for her safety and often argue with my sister i tell her not to visit our parents but she still sometimes goes to help them someone has to do that or more often it's a balancing act that's tearing the country and its people a pass a struggle for survival in the midst of a pandemic sanctions. a rather different struggle takes place every day on the roads of sprawling urban areas around the world long traffic jam smoke filled cities c o 2 emitting vehicles will this go on forever so far the statistics of a little optimism there are around $1300000.00 cars motorbikes and trucks on our planet together and they account for 16 percent of global c o 2 emissions. more environmentally friendly alternatives that run on any city hydrogen or bio me thing i haven't made much of a breakthrough so far and by century there could be around 2000000000. thailand's capital bangkok is no to. yes for its traffic drive itself and waste sitting in jams but our camera team that filming frog label ideas theories and people who are driving change. welcome to bangkok and to endless cloudstreet the traffic crawls along if it moves at all most of the drivers here are commuters who live in the thai capital's quiet suburbs. is a reject a potty mouth is one of the millions of such commuters she lives in the laxey district of northern bangkok at 7 am she begins her journey and eats her breakfast at the wheel it's a pattern repeated by commuters all over the city most choose to leave early as they don't know how long they'll need to get to work. at. the traffic varies from one day to the next some days the congestion begins right outside my door other days it starts somewhere on the journey but more or less the entire route from my place to work is congested it's around 20 kilometers . the journey takes an hour and a half she once worked out that she wastes $32.00 days of her life every year stuck in traffic not to mention the impact on the environment caused by all the exhaust fumes. monitoring stations across the city measure the air quality and deliver the results to the city authorities officials here say particulate matter is a real problem in bangkok as they know from personal experience. i'd like to go for walks in the city where i would know a new name and sometimes i notice that it's difficult to bring me there but there are times when i get home and my ice of water and. and sometimes when i walk into the house my family starts. as if i had brought the particulate matter with me. and this is one of the worst culprits the old diesel powered buses that crisscross the city most around 25 years old they're popular because they're cheap to ride they account for around one 3rd of all journeys made in the city but they to get stuck in traffic around 60 percent of journeys are made by private car that will have to change of thailand is to meet its pledge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent by 2030. the government's transport department says it's on the case. with me. the 1st thing we have to do is build up a better public transport netbook and that the only way to end once there are enough public transport options for people to use it will be start tackling the issue of private cars. when they will then still insist on using their own car they will have to pay a charge less than that all. shots one of the main plans is to expand the elevated rapid transit system or sky train as it's known in 2029 the network is set to cover 500 kilometers right now the train serves a relatively small number of people only 3 percent of all urban journeys are made on the skytrain or underground metro system. most of the passengers are young and middle class. and i find this guy train is the most reliable way to travel. i need to work it means i can plan and i know how long i need for the journey not like the bus which sometimes doesn't turn up all the driver refuses to let you on board. that. i'm about to take the sky train to see him station. take me 15 minutes. in the same journey by taxi or it would take 40 minutes if it's so much faster that's why i use the skytrain. for those who don't live near the train line there is a relatively new service available an app that allows them to book a took truck which will then take them to the nearest train station. the auto rickshaws are all electric providing a relatively quiet emission free journey to the structure of. the company behind it to move me has only been growing 3 years. doing quite well. but now we have. to apply before. and now we. want to. expand to many area on this year. like elsewhere many people in bangkok have seen their income take a hit in the current pandemic so the idea of introducing a toll for cars in the city is a sensitive issue but experts advising the thai government say the experience from european cities such as london and stockholm shows it's normal for the public to oppose the idea of 1st. international experience as the key to explain people that for example in this event in sweden. before they implement it the local people. also has some also has some protests but after this system is implemented the people are happy about it and from the result of a shoal 90 percent of the local support the idea. the benefits would surely make it worthwhile with better air quality and quieter and less congested roads and the income from the toll could be invested in further improving the public transport system but in european cities too the debate over congestion charges continued for many years before action was taken and many western countries still don't have congestion tolls. but things in bangkok clearly can't continue as they are the city currently has over 19000000 motorized vehicles 1000000 of them were added last year alone. getting from a to b. can be a struggle especially for those big.
