that's putting the country under pressure hundreds of refugees have returned to syria in the past few weeks but many more are afraid of what would happen to them if they went back d.w. correspondent on child bora traveled to the town of arsalan where she met a woman who fled syria the assad government killed her husband and son she and her children fear for their lives if they return. it was not a voyage the ever imagined undertaking but the mother of eight and grandmother of three children was forced to flee has city and home. to take refuge in the town of awesome just across the border in. although it happened five years ago the memories are still fresh this is my son served her husband and his son were killed in the syrian war. at the beginning of the uprising protests were not violent they were peaceful but my husband was killed because he took part in the my son was with the regime army doing his compulsory service and the syrian intelligence service killed him because he deserted. who fears the assad regime but the pressure from lebanon to leave is building some three thousand syrians have already registered to return there that i can never go back to syria. she is especially worried about this man. goes in by as a member of the syrian committee tasked with collecting the names of billing return is and sending the list to damascus for approval who is suspicious of the government mitali the names with those who protested against the regime and neither of us them upon arrival or refuse them approval to return but goes on denies the charge. it's not a condition not an issue of approval it's just about informing the government of the names of the people returning. he claims syria is now safe and to convince us he asked one of the refugees who have applied to return to talk to us do you want to go back of course what's keeping me here but it doesn't go quite as he and the song which he is confronted by angry syrians. back to syria safely is impossible. that's all. he shows his bullet scars the military defectors white house today leave. but lebanon's government is eager to stop one off million syrian refugees so many say they may be forced to look at europe again. and her friends are among those thinking about making the journey to you they know that it won't be easy but the risk of reprisal by assad security forces is high the third. one of the ladies has just heard of the arrest of her sister by the syrian regime. i want to migrate to europe for the future of my children and i applied to the u.s. but they didn't help me other than. smugglers want that eight thousand euros for the trip and i when i saw the film isn't it meant that i feel. who doesn't know what she would do yet and many here are facing a similar dilemma. it may be too soon to say if there will be a second neighbor for a few days to europe but the conditions are right. for now despite all the hardship who last best bet seems to be levanon if the lebanese. was cross over to beirut. bora who filed that report joins us from there unsure how common it is the view among lebanese authorities that it's time for the syrian refugees to go home and how realistic is it to expect them to do so. well that's pretty widespread there is no disagreement when it comes to that. that the student refugees must leave and that it's time but it is realistic or is it not now from my experience and all of these years about being told to sit in refugees especially now they see these still don't think it's time for them to go back because they don't know what's happening in syria large parts of the country their homes their neighborhoods have all been bombed out and also because they fear the regime they don't know what action the regime will take against them merely because they left the country so they may be seen as cletus and also because some of them or their family members likely will dusty's participated in a peaceful protest of the regime a dog with them these people are very scared that is why the spotlight three thousand and one a half million syrian refugees have will just start to go back these people are see the regime supporters or those who are ok with the syrian government but on the majority of the syrians like who are still scared of going back eleven on does have the biggest portion of syrian refugees in the world just how much strain has that put the country under. whether that is a very important question it's has put a huge strain on us especially on the civic infrastructure lebanon is a small country it's not a very rich country and also in the past it had palestinian refugees and eleven on since nine hundred forty eight so they feel that this is going to be a repeat of the palestinian episode the palestinians came in they haven't left and that has occurred in the civic infrastructure it is all too also i think in part of all tour. the culture a little bit so the christians are worried about the culture changing because most of the refugees coming in are sunnis. and are seen as more conservative here so there are all these worries when it comes to syrians continuing to stay in lebanon and we saw in your report there that some syrian refugees in lebanon on who are afraid of going home are considering making the journey to europe instead of buyable prospect. well not as of now it's very expensive without tells us that there are smugglers and around these are local boys who can take them to greece for eight thousand euros for one person i saw a lot of people go she says maybe that price will come down but we have to remember that these people like who the who've come to eleven and haven't come here on a choice they've been forced to turn into refugee so their first instinct is to go to legally and not opt for illegal rees who doesn't have the money but she would also prefer to go to europe legally so she's expecting if lebanon is eager to push her out and she can go back to syria then what is she going to do their only option is to go to europe and she's hoping that europe would come up with some sort of a structured response to facilitate. her visit to go to which we know is very unlikely to happen because the problem of syrian refugees is also change european politics significantly and so thank you so much correspondent bora there reporting from beirut. activists in denmark have held protests against a ban on full face veils that came into force yesterday the so-called burka bans prevent people from covering the faces in public denmark follows other european countries which have introduced such a ban including france and belgium. as. their faces may be masked but their outrage is on display over a thousand protesters marched through copenhagen in defiance of denmark's new ban on facial coverings they say the lower infringes on freedoms of religion and expression and the right to dress as they choose i mean that is discriminating a lot of searchlights a lot that doesn't make sense in practice and i really hate this law i think is so embarrassing and i cannot stand being a citizen in this so-called democracy when this kind of. mosque protesters and those wearing burkas and the cabs can now be fined more than one hundred euros more than a thousand euros for repeat offenses opponents say the real price will be paid by danish society we actually live in seeing our freedoms our liberal freedom rights in a society to dress like we want to rightly want and so forth so so i think it's we need dangerous step to take the majority in the parliament has done with this because what is what is coming next what is off of this supporters of the law held their own demonstration they say the band upholds secular and democratic values and combat's fundamentalist islam. where we want to take a stand against political islam against the fundamentalists in our society and we have some people who believe that they're in their group right to where it's got to call this all of the face so we're not able to see their faces or she's not able to see their face on this world and want to take a stand against. an estimated two hundred muslim women in denmark where facial coverings some say they plan to carry on despite the ban that i feel insecure now that i'm going out and feeling facing people and. everything. but in my believe in from hot and calm i think you know i will be in the same as i was doing it's now up to danish police to decide if and when to enforce the ban. to ukraine where right wing gangs have carried out a series of attacks on the roma community there they've injured several people and killed one man twenty four year old david pup stabbing him to death in front of his children because nick connolly travel to the country's west to speak to pop's widow and two other victims of the violence. this is how it all began in april twenty eighth team you july auntie's attacked a room account in the ukrainian capital kiev a copycat attack soon followed across the country in late june twenty three year old david pap was stabbed more than a dozen times in the western city of leave his death provoked an outcry inside and outside ukraine's borders the teenage suspect now custody but how could this have been allowed to happen i what has become the survivors. where in the village where david pappa grew up from here it's just a matter of kilometers to ukraine's western frontier with hungry it's a backyard the region is home to ukraine's biggest roma community many of them live in extreme poverty since the attacks people here become wary of strangers and it's only with the help of pastor fed your progress that we are allowed in it takes us to meet david perhaps with you boy it's the first time she's spoken publicly about her husband's murder. is that when those teenagers came to attack our camp they didn't say a word they just started going at us with their nods i beg them there are children here but they just started attacking us even move viciously my husband was lying dead in front of me after that i lost consciousness. on the day of our visit the boy received a call from the police and we've asked her to testify in court she refused to fear she says is too great since the attacks police have responded to requests from community leaders to step up their patrols and roam a district. miroslav heard about the roma community leader and a local councillor in the past most of his work was about helping roma people access to basic government services many here don't even have a birth certificate let alone a passport just said in recent months he's been confronted with a totally new set of problems as the victims of the attacks come to him looking for support. i don't understand where this hatred comes from we've never seen anything like this kind of open discrimination these kinds of attacks. we need to get around to solving the roma communities problems now we're not just kick the can down the road. miroslav takes us on a visit to run a roma community on the edge it was hot out there we meet claro a survivor of one of the attacks in libya. these old people and children they smashed my brother in law's head and just left him for dead but i don't want the attackers to go to prison prison doesn't make people any better like they were just kids after all. it's a point of view we hear time and time again where the people here are ready to forgive and simply fear further escalation we can't get a clear answer as we continue our walk through red bunker with miroslav the atmosphere suddenly turns there's been a break in the political church and suspicion this fall and the inhabitants of this roma community. if you watch them they'll give it all back. to someone broke into the church. do you have pictures we never do find out how the investigation ends but now the police need rather go without making any arrests at a time when the roma community needs the police to protect them or the never relations with law enforcement attends a mob but suspicion. of authorities are considering changing the format a penalty shoot outs to make them there or and reduce reduce pressure on players going second the name of the new system has been inspired by a very well known swedish band but will football decide to take a chance let's find out. five fresh off the back of a world cup which saw plenty of penalty shootout drama young german play is a trialing a new system. with research revealing the side going second in a shootout loses sixty percent of the time a new format has been devised a.p. also known as ever sees teams take alternating pairs of penalties after the first spot kick. too often high new teams have a style the win a title but what do they make of the new system. it's good because in the old system the team going second was under greater pressure which could make them lose in this system if the first person misses his teammate can still level the score. that is rated as well as a human count your own player on the way back which makes a difference psychologically so you'll have to wait and see if it's adopted by german football and in the next world cup people are going to live with the system also said to be trialled in english football this season it might not be long before abba takes center stage in football for ministers of
