A black man shot and wounded by police in wisconsin and he issues a challenge to president truck. Plus it was 5 years ago today that thousands of margarets left budapest hungary on foot to reach germany well talk to journalists who were there and ask them about an event that changed the course of european history. I brought in thomas good to have you with us today nato members are convening in the coming hours to discuss the poisoning of russian Opposition Leader alexei and only germany says it has evidence that not only was targeted with a deadly nerve agent created during the soviet era the kremlin is denying the charges that it was involved and has cautioned against a rush to judgment. What while germany and the International Community wait for russia to answer questions only it can surrounding the attempted murder of anticorruption activists Alexei Navalny kremlin critics are already playing a finger at one man there is only one person can be named as one them or putin because well he builder or more than 20 years in power is socalled power vertical we are actually nobody dares to sneeze with his permission save on the 2nd murderous attack on a Major Political opponent no one else could have done it there is 0 possibility that social parisian could have been carried out without personal permission over the years the kremlin has been blamed for poisoning political foes something it denies denounce continued on thursday as it rejected accusations of russias involvement in the poisoning. The opposition figure has been a political thorn in the side of russian president Vladimir Putin and his United Russia Party for a decade drumming up a vocal and growing opposition against putins 20 year grip on power. Pushing for change shortly before hes poisoned in the siberian city of tomsk. Traveling around the country to declare war against united russia its clear that this place should be one of the 1st its sorely needed in this war. In the footage recently released by his team and the challenge is United Russia Party members in tomsk calling them corrupt bloodsucking creatures and urging the community to vote them out and the september 13th local elections supporters hope the 44 year old will be awake to witness. The very latest now with chief political correspondent. Chancellor merkel is consulting with nato and with the e. U. For a coordinated approach what could have been much. Well 1st of all we heard yesterday from the e. U. s Foreign Policy chief a condemnation in the strongest terms in very similar words to those used by Angela Merkel when she revealed that the chemical agent used was no overt shock the letter by the Foreign Policy chief for the announcement also called for russia to completely and thoroughly investigate the poisoning and also bring those responsible to accountability now it seems that the e. U. Is hoping or demanding that russia will Work Together with the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons the opi c w because nobody is in fact a declared chemical weapon and that also was a feature of the Foreign Policy chief statement yesterday evening as he said this is an International Crime in other words the use of no each off even on russian soil if it is in fact possible to prove who was accountable for that would amount to an International Crime against which europe would want to take action so some of the actions that of course are being considered sanctions against russia further sanctions many people say this is the biggest test that the e. U. Has faced in its relations with russia since occupation of crimea of course sanctions are already in place for that last time nova chalk was used against the former russian spy sergei script all in the u. K. And 2018 the Russian Diplomats were expelled in a concerted action by e. U. Countries that case was a little different because the use of novi chalk did occur on foreign soil nonetheless as i said it is a prohibited action so those are some of the measures we make might see but discussions are ongoing they are not as those International Discussions are going on domestically german politicians are urge. America machall to abandon the north stream to project which is now nearing completion now that would bring natural gas from russia to germany its part of the Energy Independence program here can you fill us in on that project and whats at stake this project has been a little bit problematic from this start it is as you said a natural gas pipeline from russia to germany it bypasses 2 important states and they havent been happy about that poland and ukraine in that way it makes them more economically vulnerable germany asserting its own Energy Independence some say at their cost now politicians from the opposition the green party the Free Democratic party but also a member of the chancellors own party the very influential head of the parliaments Foreign Affairs committee are saying that this project should be put on hold or even terminated the head of the Foreign AffairsCommittee Said pursuing this project under these circumstances would make germany more dependent on russia and would send a signal to russia that it doesnt matter what the e. U. Says what it does indicates that russia can stay on the course its on another criminals urging germany and other European Countries not to rush to judgment do you think they might be able to present a case for the us well the fact is theres a lot of circumstantial evidence that certainly shows russias fingerprints on this as you said to this agent no be chocked was developed in the soviet union its called no chalk means a newcomer but its not a newcomer at all and it has been used in other cases like sergei script all that were attributed to the russian state beyond that body reporting has a history of political murders and poisoning so one would say his fingerprints appear to be all over this case londons ever thanks very much for your opinions input on this. Its to the us now where a suspect wanted in connection with the Fatal Shooting of a member of a Pro Trump Group during a protest in Portland Oregon has himself been shot dead by Police Law Enforcement killed a suspect a 40 year old man as they tried to arrest him southwest of seattle it is unclear why the suspect was shot dead that incident occurred as president ial candidate joe biden visited the city of can osha the site of unrest after protests against Police Brutality and racism at conneaut is grace church democratic president ial hopeful joe biden met with local politicians and Business Owners as well as members of Law Enforcement his stated goal to try to unify this fractured community after the Police Shooting of jacob blake that sparked days of protests before arriving at the church button and blake talked on the phone as you know as i got off the airplane. I had an opportunity to spend some time with jake upon the phone hes out of i. C. U. We spoke for about 15 minutes he talked about how nothing was going to defeat. Where they want to go to not he was not going to do. It and went on to a level of finleyville that accusation of President Donald Trump look for encouraging race based hatred i thought you could defeat hate it only hind knowing hinds. And when someone far to breathe oxygen or that rock. You know the gentlemans use folks to come on. By didnt stop your colleagues just 2 days after trump visited can osha inconscious to bud in the trump did not meet with blakers family but rather threw his support behind Law Enforcement denouncing protestors as domestic terrorists while biden has been widely supportive of the black laws matter protests he made a point of condemning looting and violence none of it justifies through deed burning or anything else so regardless how angry you are if you lou do you burn you should be held accountable as someone who does anything else period.

All this week here on d w news weve been marking the 5th anniversary of a decision that would change the course of european history on this day september 4th 2015 thousands of rest. G. s weve been stuck in a limbo. Train station in budapest set off on foot for the german border for them it was the start of a new route to the heart of europe for the European Union was a challenge to its core principle by the end of 2015 more than a 1000000 people sought refuge in the it was many of them making the long trek from turkey of course greece in the balkan countries all the way to the german border. Lets talk about it with someone who was a correspondent back then now the head of news max hoffman max welcome to the show you were there you were in budapest on that day 5 years ago you covered it from the very beginning what are some of the impressions that that today stand out for you the most you know brian i thought about that all week and its all coming back after all its been 5 years and its of course its the demonstrations just in front of the station which is the name of the train station in budapest about 3000. 00 people together there in a makeshift camp you had Police Officers you had violence there was the lack of water the lack of food but surprisingly what came back 1st to me and thats not representative of the situation of course but the 1st thing that came back to it was when the sun was setting in the evening very hot that 35 degrees and the sun was setting cloudless and everybody was kind of tired of the demonstration everybody was tired of all the hardship that they had had throughout the day and then they gathered together families huddled together they left they played and it was almost like even like a vacation atmosphere that showed me back then that in spite of all the hardship and the obstacles that these migrants had to overcome they still felt hope they still knew that they were in a better place than they were coming from mostly at least and they were still hoping for a much Better Future most of them in germany theres a real contrast to some of this. The tensions we also saw at the station between the migrants and the police in budapest back then it seems looking back for me and perhaps this is the same for you that that all our reporting pretty much what was very much on the side of the migrants was that the right way to do the coverage. I thought about that a lot too and i can tell you this back then being on the ground it was very very hard to be balanced and looking back i think we should explain more why the hungary and government was taking that this isnt they were taking why they were mad about the lack of communication with the germans that hungary is not only the government but also its people many of those tried to help the migrants but at the same time its a fact that the authorities back then were playing games with the migrants there for example to give you an example and i dont want to get too deep into that they did not dare to go into the crowd of those 3000 people but there was this little street in front of the train station and as soon as migrants cross that street to buy something to eat or buy something to drink they got picked off by the authorities so arrested just as they got arrested they were taken to camps and one day they were told you cant go into the station the next day they were told you to get on this train and it will go to germany but it didnt go to germany they distributed leaflets in one burials of course none of those migrants really spoke gary and so they were playing games it was really hard to take the side of the 100 ariens here also because the migrants most of the migrants had this earnest drive to go to germany and contribute to society and i remember thinking in my head back then please germany please help them let them work show them that they can be part of the society and not let them be in a camp for years without doing anything and destroyed this motivation ok so hungry when you were there at that moment they had they open the borders and allow them to leave to head for germany later on they would close their borders they would take a very different approach for. Example to germany which kept the borders open and how would you analyze hungarys strategy in retrospect back then you know we knew the Prime Minister of hungary was on a 3rd tarion path in a different path from france and germany but everybody sort of thought that he would turn around that the pressure from the big countries in the e. U. Would turn around that has not happened what went down 5 years ago in 2015 is still one of the finding moments for the discord for the east west divide that we still have the European Union it is probably we have corona now i know but probably the biggest internal problem that still persists its never been resolved the only solution the e. U. Ever found was to have a contract with turkey to avoid the migrants even making it to the European Union they never found a solution what to do in common with the migrants that actually make it into the european so what happened 5 years ago was very much still with us in ways unsolved. Partially at least max great to see you thanks for coming in. Lets bring in belarus and in our photojournalist who was based in budapest during the migration crisis and documented what happened 5 years ago those thanks so much for coming in today can you take us back to 2015 and tell us how you experience what happened in hungary 5 years ago. Maybe it was an extraordinary situation that nobody really expected. The people to the southern borders. And. As you know before the government was didnt know what to do basically is happened to be. Defense and this happened was in good a bass and as you got to ring and together if you really station so the 1st weeks and months there was kind of hesitation what to do these people what to do. But if theyre so someone has to act and then and then theres a government which has it taking. The right passed down and people just sold. And then and then you huge number of people. Go across hunger but it was obvious they didnt want to be into country they wanted to go through or they wanted to go divest mostly in germany when you were when you were in budapest your work is taken your previously to covering this story 5 years ago. Were you prepared for such chaotic scenes at home and hunger. And about we have couple of them. Of course which was you know government were coming and leaving but there was like rioting situations but this was. Because usually hungary areas you know internal problems but that was kind of the problems and then in the country is not used to refugees and seeing thousands hundreds of 1000 migrants marching across the country so you have to understand this is a very Cruel Society in a way and for damn foreigners. I mean other people in danger on the other hand it being sort of really so it was a mixture of fear and and we have to have them and then be a few c. D. s and then or think would have let me jump in there youve spent years documenting the story migration the refugee crisis who are the people you see coming to your. Its a very difficult difficult question because what he said 5 years ago is live it different and one b. Say today. I still believe that these people are leaving the country for a very good reason running from war persecution they had to be after have the. That i have heard and seen we have to have them in an organized bait and this didnt happen in 2015 that was a mass. And then i just i just finished a recently of 3 and im about 3 syriana has got bookers all doctors who came to europe and had steel and nervous difficulties to enter you dont believe in market and then you have to realize that in these people you have and me being highly skilled professionals and then we might need that and then we should have that bella thanks so much for coming in on this day 5 years after that incredible event in budapest bella and belsky thanks very much.
