Sarah it is good to have you with us. Donald trump today has condemned what he called the evils of racism after the killing of a woman who was protesting against a far right gathering in charlottesville, virginia. Trump had faced criticism when he initially did not respond explicitly condemning rightwing extremists. Now the u. S. Justice department has announced a civil rights investigation into the weekends deadly violence. Reporter the plane the pain is still raw from the mayhem. Some here are still afraid. The man any redshirt to fill comfortable showing his face on camera. I saw people pull out knives and pistols. It was crazy. Its all ridiculous. Now we have loved ones who are getting gone. Dead and gone. All those are smiling and laughing and where picking up the pieces. Reporter has the people of charlottesville pick up the pieces, others are gathering to denounce racism and hatred into remember this woman. 30yearold Heather Heyer was killed when a cargo drove into a group of antiracist protesters. Her family say she attended the rally because she felt strongly about standing up to eight. To hate. I saw Heather Heyer lying on the ground and i watched her die. From that moment on i swore to myself that i would not stop in the fight against white supremacy. Reporter but White Supremacists are refusing to take the blame for the deadly violence. The organizer of the unite the right rally said on sunday, authorities were responsible. The hate that you hear around you, that is antiwhite hate that fueled what happened yesterday. What happened yesterday was a result of the Charlottesville Police officers refusing to do their job. Reporter others clearly do not agree. The News Conference was cut short by counterdemonstrators who forced him to run. For now, charlottesville is in morning as this community tries to mend. Sarah trumps initial statement that he made was not singling out White Supremacists. He was strongly criticized for that. Today he had another go. Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the kkk, neonazis, White Supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as americans. Sarah that was President Trump speaking earlier on monday. Im joined by the Program Director of the Aspen Institute here in berlin. Would you make of trumps comments, specifically the timing. This happened on saturday. Why now . Guest you can contrast this with the swiftness with which he reacted to the man who stepped down from his board advisors, and he reacted immediately. This took 48 hours. I dont want to describe intent to President Trump but one could sense that he is giving the sign to this faction of the u. S. Populace that he is being forced to do this. Basically he is doing it reluctantly and against his will. Sarah because those people make up part of his voter base. Guest right. Like many western societies including germany, canada, u. K. Rightwing extremists are a very small part of the population, around 5 or less. But trumps core voters, 30 , the people who are not leaving him, the people that really make up the base of his power currently, that is about 20 . 5 of 30 is about 18 of his core support. If you were to spurn them, that would undercut what he sees sarah how similar is it to what neonazis here in germany espouse . Tyson you can compare it to rightwing extremists in other countries like france and germany. They tend to be at no nationalist, less educated, white, rural. The trend in the u. S. Is that they can be younger, which is something that was not the case in the past. They tend to be more protectionist. And they see themselves as aggrieved. They are the losers of globalization, losers of this pluralistic vision, this openness at the heart of postcold war america and the west. Sarah it puts trump in a weird position because on the one hand, the neonazis have strong antisomatic associations, yet trumps grandchildren are jewish. Where does that leave him . Tyson it is extremely perplexing because clearly they are aware of the hatred, the visceral hatred these groups have for jews, for blacks, for women. Many people in his own administration. Yet they are willing to play footsie with him. Its a very faustian bargain, and what has to ask a dangerous this is. Sarah tell us about the significance of charlotte. Tyson charlottesville is a really important city in u. S. History. Its the home of thomas jefferson, the drafter of the declaration of independence. Of james madison, the drafter of the constitution. Both work slaveholders. Its kind of the cradle of the united states. On the other hand it is the cradle of this idea of the antebellum south. It is full of symbolism for both sides in this debate, thats why it is so important. Sarah thank you for your insights today. We have breaking news just coming in from france.

We really did not know why all this is happening. But from the faces of our elders, because his of my parents, the faces of my parents, i could feel something was terribly wrong. Reporter neighbors turned on each other and met more than one Million People left lost their lives. He would later join the pakistani military. The divisive pakistan and india fought four wars over it. He was wounded and captured in 1971 he considers himself lucky. They took care of me for 10 months. Maybe i had the same feeling and they had the same feeling. Wounded soldier. He should be taken care of. Reporter the hostility between the nations is visible every day. Thousands of spectators cheer their soldiers on from the sidelines. Here it is a symbolic show what other border points the soldiers are firing live around. Lives are lost almost every month. The colorful spectacle should not distract from the fact that these two nations are armed to the teeth and both have nuclear weapons. He is saddened by all this. It was almost 70 years before india allow the old man to visit his ancestral village. We should have lived up to the independence that we got. There have been ups and downs in life. I wish more stability could have come and the fighting between the two countries stopped. What we all wish, i dont know if that wish will come true during my lifetime. Reporter at the Border Crossing every evening there is a brief handshake. But the governments of india and pakistan are not on speaking terms.

Paris police say in eightyearold girl has been killed after a driver rammed his car into a pizza restaurant. At least five others were injured in this incident which occurred in a small town east of paris. The driver was arrested soon after the incident. It is still unclear whether this was an act of deliberation. Last week in algerian man drove his car into a group of french soldiers in paris and a truck attack in nice over a year ago left 86 dead. We will update you with the latest as we get it. Also coming up, u. S. President donald trump yesterday condemned the evils of racism after a woman protester died over the weekend. He faced criticism when his initial response did not explicitly condemn rightwing extremists. The u. S. Joint chiefs of staff said his country wants a peaceful resolution with a standoff with north korea. Marine general Joseph Dunford met with south korean officials to try to ease concerns about a military or nuclear confrontation. South koreans are used to aggressive posturing from pyongyang, but this time it is different. Reporter if anything is keeping people in seoul office treats these days, it is most likely the rain. Not fears of an attack by north korea. Even though the rest of the world seems to be feeling a sense of panic over the conflict, that is a hard sentiment to find here. Some of my friends are serving in the army. Whenever they hear about military action from north korea, they are mobilized to counter anything that might come our way. But normal People Like Us to not Pay Attention to this kind of news. We hear it so often from the media on tv, we are known in this respect. Thats why we are not concerned. Reporter some feel this time is not the same saber rattling from their neighbor. I am partly worried because of trump. If it were not him in office i would worry less. Hes more of a show off than a politician. If he continues like this something might actually happen. Hes only interested in himself. This is a power game by two sides and we are caught in the middle. In korea we say, if two big guys fight, the little guy in the middle gets hurt. Reporter its a realization that has become part of life in the city of 10 million. Even know most people in seoul did not think an attack is very likely they are also aware there is always the possibility, especially in times like these. If worse comes to worse they will have very little time to react. They will get alerts and then as quickly as they can ill have to find the nearest air raid shelter which could be a basement, and underground parking garage, for the entrance of a subway station. If an attack took place, people might push down escalators and stairs trying to find safety on the floors below. That is where you will find a reminder that something is different in the city. There are gas masks in every station. Something the people of seoul are hoping they will never need. Sarah as concern grows in seoul , china is wrapping up the pressure on north korea. Lets go to our business desk for more. Javier of course this all has economic implications as well. No matter how big economic International Pressure was, north korea can always rely on china as a solid ally. They share strong trade ties along with the border. But tensions are now wkening those ties and you and sanctions are being implemented on tuesday and china will no longer accept key imports from north korea. It is a big hit for the country led by kim jongun. Reporter north koreas main exports to china are commodities like coal and iron, but also seafood. North korea is chinas largest trading partner. North korea had been economically development dependent on its large neighbor for a long time. North korea will earn two hundred 95 million this year from seafood exports to china. Iron sales will bring in 251 million. Lead, 113 million. Loss of that revenue could hurt north korea badly. Although china officially supports the uns sanctions against north korea, beijing has continued to prop up the regime of pyongyang. That now seems to have changed. Javier investors are following these developments closely. After a bumpy week less week. Lets bring in our financial correspondent. s situation between the u. S. And north korea is not improving but the markets seem to be. It didnt look too bad during trading hours. It looked like investors were back to normal monday.
