Is something that we need to be very aware of and that we have to put a lot of energy into into combat in this rise of anti semitism and what i found interesting was that of course shes very aware and she said it in her speech that anti semitic language more and more often leads to anti semitic deeds and this is actually something that Police Statistics confirm that people feel triggered by silence or by the silence of the majority or by statements coming from sort of the middle ground of society so this is something that angloamerican said we need to be very alert and we have to remember that angle america has been criticized several times for opening. The doors to germany for migrants and thus creating more tensions here in germany and thus also helping in a way to give rise to the far right party who are amongst their Younger Party groups are amongst those that are being watched by the authorities here in germany for their far right stance and so this is something where Anglo American i think she has been the chancellor for 15 years so she has to ask herself what have i missed where didnt i do enough. With the studio. Youve also listening to that speech i think it was a very calm speech do you think she missed an opportunity here to make a bold statement. Well she did make a very clear statement she basically said that the Jewish Community is a constitutional part of the integra part of she stressed that next year you can celebrate 1700 years of jewish life and money and in terms of the clarity in severity of that statement or how clear it is it reminds me of 2008 when she was in the knesset in israel which was a very special event actually you 1st spoke hebrew then german and said that the protection of the jewish people of israel is a reason of state for germany so i think she clearly laid down the law would there where germany sees its responsibility where she sees germanys responsibility and where she hopes that that trust that was mentioned so many times that advanced in trust and that Jewish Community the Central Council of jews is giving germany is actually fulfilled so i think it was very much the tone that she chooses also in dealing with her counterparts on the jewish side jewish representatives here in germany and the kind of personal engagement she feels that and ive watched her speak to many buffet source from the jewish side and quite clearly at a personal level she has a very open ear if they have pressing concerns very aware that those words can indeed become deeds against jews and you mentioned the responsibility that the german state has for the jews the Jewish Community in germany one of those was responsible is of course if you jewish people say and believe we have somebody prepared from that speech in that respect. If many jews do not feel safe do not feel respected in our country this is the other part of todays reality and it is one that causes me grave concern it is shame. And i am deeply ashamed that racism and antisemitism are manifesting itself in these times and to just truth racism and antisemitism it never disappeared completely but for considerable time these appear. Without restrictions inspirit see theories in songs are not only speaking out against jewish citizens in the social media many statements. And smear campaigns and that is something we must never accept. Never accept in silence but what is the government doing. Well after that attack and how. For instance committed on live providers that they actually have to inform the authorities of antisemitic statements curacy is being beefed up amongst jewish institutions the state is dedicating funds towards that but i think this is very much echoed to the easiness that we heard from the head of the Central Council of jews here in germany and it emphasizes how exposed the Jewish Community remains the easiness where you hide your day that started during a because you dont want to be immediately identified as a jew there have been several instances of men wearing your part here on a boat in streets you then had at least. Physically even attacked one rabbi was also injured here a couple of years ago so that kind of exposed position that jews have it here in germany feeling at 1st. When the rhetoric the conspiracy theories become more mainstream and then that tips into action but also im going back and saying that the full force of the law then has to come into action at the same time as prevention and education taking place here and many but when attacks have happened then it hasnt been enough the question is what remains preventable and that is something that your community has to live with and what has to be able to rely on the authorities to do whatever they can you mentioned the head of the Jewish Community. Being very used to being very concerned the moment i believe we have somebody from his speech that he gave before. Even though the organization was not founded with a long term perspective in mind we must emphasize the founders of the jewish congregations and the Central Council of jews placed a great amount of trust in germany. Indeed both german states newly founded in 1949 were permeated all political levels in the authorities in the judiciary in schools and universities by perpetrators by people who had shortly before been agents of the National Socialist regime of injustices but it was precisely these german jews returning to their old homeland 1945 who still felt rooted to this country thats why they were willing to take such an immense leap of faith. Is quite extraordinary actually the fact that the council was founded basically to help jews leave germany and resettle tother places and then its role changed is that thats what was that there. Was his absolutely and i just want to remind us that what is being this is the celebration today this is also what im going to michael said today it was not a given that the Central Council of jews would actually last for 70 years and then evolve to become something that sounds once again jewish life and money it was initially designed as a kind of a help line to help that work for those jews whose lives were crossed after the 2nd world war and i would also like to mention that she. Was the former head of the council of jews here in germany now shes a holocaust survivor she was hidden by a family and her entire she lost her entire family in the holocaust and she says that in 1950 was unimaginable that there would be 70 year congratulations for the Central Council of jews in germany so yes just 20 remains exposed theres an easier. But it is a Success Story for both sides for the Jewish Community here and me but also for john the saw is he that the Central Council of jews a so deeply rooted and branching out into Society Today in 2020 and you know coming back to you would you agree with you would you say that jewish life actually does bloom in germany. Bloom is a word i wouldnt use seeing that we have seen in much much bigger jewish communities in the past especially before the 2nd world war of course but definitely is on the rise and what i personally find very interesting is that since the economic crisis lots of young israelis who also happen to be jews have moved to the big cities here in germany and sometimes they have to explain this fact to their grandparents and so this is another step where you would say that. Overcoming prejudices is something that is very much happening is specially in the biggest cities here in germany and that is a good sign thank you very much you know. This to you and just to recap our top story. A ceremony attended by high ranking members of the German Government has been held by the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Central Council of jews in germany chancellor Angela Merkel gave the keynote speech she paid tribute to the councils work as a driving force in the return of jewish life to germany since it was set up 5 years after the show of 6000000 jews by the Jewish Community in germany is the 3rd largest in europe and because. And i will turn to some other world news government sources here say germany is to take in around 1500 migrants left homeless by a father destroyed europes largest refugee camp on the island of lesbos this comes amid pressure on the e. U. To find a solution for the some 12000 people displaced and mostly still living outside in the open race has been urging the migrants to move into new shelters on lesbos but many fear the situation there could be worse than before. It was. At the back of a long line of hungry people waiting has become part of life on the island of last boss. At the front aid workers handout bags of food and. Since the morea company down migrants have been camping out on the streets they return to the roadside to eat its a simple but desperately needed meal and soon it will be time to start queuing for the next. Images from the air show new shelter tents for thousands left homeless hundreds have already been resettled and sites like this but others fear moving to the new camps will just perpetuate their misery if we go to new camp moriarty again is the start about to me we experience the one year more e. R. I think its enough to be able to stand the strain and be diligent because hes missing any significant piece of. Protesters have been demanding to be allowed to leave less force nearly 400. 00 unaccompanied children have already left for europe these women and children appear to germany to get them off the island to. Now it appears that cause have been heard reports say germany plans to take in an additional 1500. 00 migrants mostly families with children from the greek islands. But berland doesnt want to go it alone and is pressuring the e. U. Countries to step up to the plate and take in some of the migrants. Was leaving less bus cant come soon enough for these protests does he say that as long as they remain on the island they will never be free. Of them on these developments weve got our chief International EditorRichard Walker with us and correspondent max sunda who is in moria in greece richard 1st to you give us more details about these reports. Yes well the reports emerging say that germany is getting ready in a Cabinet Meeting tomorrow of the German Government agree on a plan which would see 1500 refugees come to germany and these are made up of 400 families whose asylum applications have already actually been approved now one interesting detail thats coming through in the reporting is that these people are not all necessarily from the morea camp or even from the island of lesbos but from the greek islands more broadly as well and i think that there is this going to be a certain pressure certainly not to give the impression of potentially giving incentives to refugees to take dangerous actions because the greek government says at the moment that their suspicion is that the fire in the morea camp was actually lit by one of the People Living in that camp or some of them so i think that will definitely be a concern now this package of 1500 is also in addition to 150 unaccompanied minors that the government had already said that it was planning to take in. Mexico its you your own lesbos youre just inside that area where many of the migrants are being held how is this news likely to go down but. Were scared during the restricted area right now and as you can probably tell from what i can see behind me this is a place of suffering people these people managed to escape the fire in the morea camp but they find themselves the situation that is probably just as bad at the moment you can see behind me people have started constructing simple shelter with pens with blankets with anything that could pull out of pull out of the camp or anything they could find and its probably hot here people are suffering from dehydration and hunger but people also here are quite disillusioned about the situation. Many of the men have been here for months some of them have been here for years so this news might give some of them hope but in the long run its probably going to be too late for the. Average of one back to you here in germany why is this issue of migrants so controversial you know i think migration has the power to great controversy in almost any country but in germany of course there is recent history here of the 2015 migration crisis where germany took in more than a 1000000 people and there is still very differing views on whether that was the right thing to do now you do have some people who are seeing the kind of scenes that max is describing there and going out on the streets even through being here in berlin recently saying that the government has to do much more to help we should be taking in many people but the government is also wary of fueling populism because you know in the wake of the 2015 crisis the far right populist a. F. D. Party won a lot of support and became a significant force in german politics now its support has cooled off a little bit since then but this is certainly the sort of situation that they are always ready to pounce on. Also there is an european level to this whole thing the German Government says that it really wants a revamped european way of distributing refugees among all Member States that is something that central and Eastern European countries are not keen on but i think thats going to have a fresh impetus now because people are going to be looking at what has happened in moria and sank this is a reminder that this problem is far from being solved i must go back to you the greek government is not necessarily behind this plan is it that it wants the migrants to move into temporary facilities what whats the position that the greek government is taking. While this plan seems to have been discussed at the highest level of the greek and German Governments here 1500 people thats thats a lot of this is only a fraction of the numbers of people who are here stuck on less bus and in the entirety of the greek islands so the greek authorities here at the moment it seems are really trying their best to get back into control to show that they are in power they have issued an order to refugees here in migrants to come to the facilities to to move to the new temporary facilities and told them that if they dont go there theres no chance for them to ever get off the on the because only then there is silent process that there are silent cases will be processed. Sound on lesbos hundreds of walker here in berlin thank you very much. And were getting some breaking news coming in the russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny has reached out on social media for the 1st time since his poisoning last months not only share the picture from the berlin hospital where hes being treated it shows him sitting up in bed surrounded by his family family and said he could now breeze on his own russia denied claims that it was involved in the poisoning which western the board trees have said was carried out with a nerve agent nabil chalk well bring you more on that story as soon as we get it but 1st lets take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world 2 dozen hong kong prodemocracy activists have appeared in court to face charges of Illegal Assembly prominent Movement Members including jimmy lie and joshua wont they stand accused of taking part in a band event in june that commemorate the chinas 989 trillion men square crackdown. And office tower designed by british iraqi architects deed has caught fire in the lebanese capital beirut firefighters partly as extinguish the blaze it is the 2nd big fire in the bay in beirut this month and comes after a huge explosion destroyed large parts of the city center in almost 3 lawmakers in britain have given their initial approval to a controversial new breaks its bill despite concerns that it breaches International Law the bill will allow boys johnsons governments who override parts of the brakes it was broad agreement which was agreed with the European Union in january. Again this country u. S. President donald trump is back in washington after meeting with officials in california who are battling the worst wildfires on record there and in 2 other western states strumpet downplayed arguments that Climate Change is fueling the record blazes in state he said poor Forest Management is largely to blame. These are some of the scenes providing the backdrop to the president s visit to california. Raging wildfires that have burned millions of acres wiped out whole communities and left dozens dead. Scientists theyve blazes like these are being made worse by Climate Change. But donald trump spoke of other concerns after landing in california to meet with top officials. And we have to do a lot about Forest Management obviously Forest Management in california is very important. California governor Gavin Newsome said those concerns were justified but he and other officials went on to press trump on Climate Change just as that of force management science in an observed evidence is self evident that Climate Change is real and that is exacerbating this if we ignore that science and sort of put our head in the sand and think its all about Vegetation Management were not going to succeed together protecting californians ok itll start getting cooler but i was just you just watch i wish science and everybody about it but. I dont think science knows actually. And earlier that day harsh words from trumps democratic president ial rival joe biden if you give a climbing arsonist 4 more years in the white house why would anyone be surprised if we have more america blankies if you have a climate denier 4 more years in the white house why would anyone be surprised when more of america is underwater. But trump has his supporters even in deeply democratic california i was just placed by the taubes fire i woke up with my city in flames and the democrats have not done their Due Diligence policy wise and so if there is a component of Global Warming it is a very very small component because the democrats are failing california meanwhile firefighters on the front lines face challenging conditions with shifting winds and drier weather sparking several new blazes. Well if you dont use us on this beautiful it does with me in the studio to have a closer look at this argument. Is the come highly politicized. Which while other playing drums complain strategy yeah i mean us we as we heard in that report you know this was a very quick miss it in and out in about 2 hours so it really shows that you know for candidate trump who is up for reelection and and you know just over 6 weeks this really shows its not a top priority he waited more than 3 weeks to really speak on these wildfires and meantime he went gold saying he tweeted about you know the report. Is Approval Ratings share false information about voting did a slew of things that show really that he was not very interested in what was going on in california and in oregon and washington and why is that well you know this close to the election we can be a bit cynical about it maybe because this is about winning and the reality is that we are looking at states that are reliably democrat theyve gone to the democratic candidate for over 30 years trump has close to no chance of winning in either of those states and you know we were expecting very similar results this time around as well so i think that the reason that trump decided to go there after all was that you know he has come obviously under fire for his handling of the coronavirus. Pandemic we saw revelations last week showing that he knew about it so that he will fully accept that loss of life you know for maybe potential political gain and i think with these wildfires there watching those thinking you know that could turn into a similar headache this is not for tonight he also for trying to show leadership we heard that woman in the report you know casting blame on Democratic Leaders and that is a strategy that trump has picked up on saying you know the Democratic Leaders in the state all democratic governors have essentially failed their own citizens they should have paid more attention to stuff like Forest Management and saying that they really to some extent cost these fires or are to blame for these power. Lets come to this very argument how realistic is that what role does Forest Management play in these forest fire was versus Climate Change or is it is it a mixture of both what what is right you know its a person agree to a large extent with the president that Forest Management is not just importance unsent essential in keeping a lid on these fires thus thing is that its nothing New California has actually taken steps over the past couple years to do just that the problem is that there is a very very limited window of time in which california can can actually do these controlled earnings because of the cloud and the reality is and this is what 97 percent of experts agree on. Climate change is real it is being excessive bait it by men and so you know were seeing more droughts where seem strong winds all of these things that come together to make wildfires even worse and the fact of the matter is and weve seen this throughout Trump Presidency that he is not someone who believes in men made Climate Change he made that very clear yesterday as well he scaled back or eliminated over 150 measures that were in place to protect the marmont hes expanded oil hes bet on you know more coal and oil is more traditional was opposed to more mentally friendly energies hes appointed Climate Change deniers to several key positions such as the Environmental Protection agency. His advantage thus far has been because of this corona mars voters attention elsewhere these wildfires that could change that so it is a risky bet really and theyre not showing any signs of slowing down so well see how that strategy works out as of thank you very much but over the. This is the w. News heres a reminder of the top story were following for you german chancellor last hailed the achievements of the Central Council of jews in germany 70 years since its founding at a ceremony marking marking its creation in berlin mouthfull said the organization had become a constituent posture of loss and joy but she was most concerned as well as the resurgence of racism and antisemitism in the country today.
