to germany the white house says the former guard helped murder jewish prisoners at a nazi death camp in poland an accusation that he has always rejected a pollie has never been a citizen of germany but beginning tonight it is up to germany to decide if he should be tried for helping the nazis kill off the berlin this is the day. yesterday aug twentieth the u.s. government moved to germany of poly a former nazi camp guard at the notorious trav miki slave labor camp for jews in nazi occupied poland so we think that there's enough evidence to show that he used to force people to stay in a camp and that can kill them we think that the evidence shows that he is guilty and innocent so decision we do not see crimes we have tremendous difficulties to solve those crimes because they date back so long like the situation on the ground has changed like this and in germany being a member of a criminal organization like the nazi s.s. is not enough to warrant prosecution aiding and abetting all participating in a madam must be proven and he's ninety five years probably going to die at some point so

since unification of germany. the the the surplus the budget is going up and up unemployment hasn't risen it has decreased since the influx of german so all these things have to be a communicated to the public and i think that's a lack of the the government they don't do it as strongly as they could. a lot of people have been saying in the wake of the candidates events that that surplus in the budget should be dedicated much more to supporting the security services we have seen persistent cuts in police budgets all over germany in recent years would you say looking at what happened in cannes that's that the failings of the police were material in the sense of being understaffed tactical or political. i think well they are understaffed i think. would not like to be a policeman and sex and they because they all have in all the different states in german they have problems with being quite badly stuff but i think it's a political problem at its core and that's because we've seen so many places where quite similar sit

i was also in you be in this germany. if you're migrants and on twitter then search for the hash tag i'm a migrant too and join the conversation germany's skills shortage is burning a gaping hole in the labor market here studies show that three point three million positions could be left unfilled in a country in the next couple decades it's a huge problem in the nursing industry like many big developed economies germany has an aging population will soon see a boom in demand here for aged care services it's hoped migrants will help out but making it all happen is proving complicated. hub eva is a trained caregiver she cleans and massages elderly people in berlin cash in hand. but is also an asylum seeker and therefore not allowed to earn money her residence permit clearly states that if she violates that condition she could be fined up to five hundred thousand euros happy but isn't her real name she's afraid of being deported if the authorities find out she's working she finds it absurd that even though germany has a short

much to death i don't want germany to stay germany and liked. what does that mean how does this does not it means what i said if you don't understand that that's your problem then you've got a big problem then i don't see encloses coming because i'm an immigrant group reason you're just a german. people back where you came from. it's interesting to hear one of the speakers in that german citizenship essentially saying you are only a german citizen it is troubling they reminiscent for many of us that old blood and soil idea of what it means to be a german and this is why i think that we have a constitutional crisis because these voices they have a strong voice now the parliament of germany with the far right if the and they becoming more and more popular and they could even win elections in some regions in germany and because they start to to bring up this this topic that like like blaming germans as not german just because of this skin color just because of the name just because they have doc or whatever just because of their religion that they

why is that exactly there has been a lot of criticism from germany and across the e.u. towards these sentences again because of the lack of interest integration that the senses are going to allow some critics have been describing them all comparing these centers to jails of course the asylum seekers are able to leave the area but they are very much confined during the day to the senses but there is little interest even in germany this is a pilot. at the moment redone in bavaria and there's only three other of germany's other fifteen states even shown any interest going to cause it is also worth remembering as well that the numbers of asylum seekers arriving in germany and the e.u. is actually reduced in just in germany by the end of last year there were around one hundred seventy thousand. registered asylum seekers in germany which if you compare that to at the height of what's become known as the of the refugee crisis there is numbers of tiny now it's not the only change to immigration rules that we're seeing here in germany let's take a look at another because startin

of chinese carmakers easily acquired ten percent in germany's dima now germany is slamming on the brakes by planning tighter scrutiny of foreign investments but german industry representatives fear the government stricter controls could deter chinese investors and that's not necessarily good news after all investors also provide capital and create jobs well is this move scaring away investors let's bring in mark was told he's the chair of east asian economic studies at the university of days both s. and joins us now. is berlin writes to be worried of course i mean we see a surge of trying in chinese investments and these are really targeting key technology sectors in germany and are endangering the control over certain infrastructure and elements in germany and as we see these deals are usually not just market driven but there's government in in the background and therefore it's important that germany is also taking this dismay at a perspective and taking a stronger regulator a. grip on that but if we look at the business relationship between china and germany wouldn't be doing see this

women living in germany who are affected by and you know why is that in waters germany what are the or thought she is doing to address it of course there are some cases the rack ace's where this is carried out in germany but here we're talking about women who were already subjected to this in that childhood and now we're seeing an increased number of affected women livin in germany largely due to the increase in migrants coming from those countries where female genital mutilation is really prevalent so for germany specifically in the past few years that's largely being somalia eritrea in parts of iraq as well as the numbers of migrants increase so do the number of women living in germany who were subjected to this. it's not that easy to to gain access to these women or at least to talk to them they there is a certain risk to you know talk about this very vexed issue. very controversial issue you met some women who've you know had this procedure. performed on them you know how how is it talking to them what brings them out. to talk about it because there's already especially these wo

this new approach is the latest chapter in germany's effort to deal with migration since the increase in the numbers fleeing to europe and the government's decision in twenty fifteen to open the borders the challenge of making migration on this scale work has become clear. in many cases it has taken too long for people to find out whether they have a chance of staying in germany and that in turn has held up any chance of them finding a job or integrating into society. the residents of the facilities will be able to leave to go shopping or for other reasons despite that critics say they have tantamount to deportation centers. the plan is to open these facilities all across germany but in most parts of the country that will lead to a massive worsening of conditions for asylum seekers. currently holds around fourteen hundred migrants if things go smoothly similar centers may be opened in of opponents of gemini. or political correspondent thomas sparrow he is covering the story for us tonight good evening to you so must we know that these new processing centers are controversial so what a

these are very important values in germany. you come to germany... you didn't answer my particular question which was about the proposal for particular question which was about the proposalfor a particular question which was about the proposal for a compulsory national service from your colleague. is that something that your party or government should be suggesting or doing? there is a debate in germany from our secretary general whether we should have a general here for all german citizens to do something for the whole society. it could be in the military, it could be on social organisations, it could be in other places. this could include those who are not german citizens. 0nce places. this could include those who are not german citizens. once again, what we need in germany is a debate. how to better integrate those people who are coming from abroad and also debate what we can do to convince young people that it is worth working one yearfor young people that it is worth working one year for german society in total. given what you are saying and the

in germany on the borders american government in germany. for spain if all the issues that are more important like mainly resources for them to manage the. war there your sense of want to address the situation in spain. agreement with america can work for the tyrant or and i'm sick of that right spain because they know that they are not going to manage to get to to germany or they go to germany that will be sent back to spain and it's not a very attractive country. for them to settle so for for maybe the asylum seekers that can be a deterrent which is going to compass manage the influx of migrants. over there and at the same time i think that for better sanchez and spain it's not the main problem. seekers are not big amount of people arriving to the coast it has to do more with. african migrants where there really a deal with the european union and climate just briefly you know we've been told that spain is getting nothing from germany for excepting this deal is that really the case briefly if you make. well i mean. it's have been reported g

taking place in germany's migration policy today why is germany shaking up its migration system so much right now this is largely due to their horse in recent months he's been pushing through a strict and strict thyssen measure has he in german interior minister to really tighten germany's stance on migration policy and that's largely in response to last september's election when the conservatives and also other german pass' but largely the conservatives made huge losses in the elections to the far right and i'm anti immigrant party the alternative to germany or a.f.d. party the conservatives in germany in particular are really trying to make a push to win back those votes and at the moment that at least appears to be through making a stronger stance on migration policy but of course it is also worth remembering that the numbers of migrants asylum seekers registering in germany continue into full by the end of last year they were under two hundred thousand and they're going to continue to. thank you so much should there be a political correspondent kate brady. facebook has uncovered wha

germany stance has changed partially because of the efforts of the new diplomat the the new. and so i hear us about how the new u.s. ambassador has made this a priority he's been talking to a lot of german officials about this germany's stance is that they there's not enough evidence to be brought against active poly. like it was said in the report he was at a camp that killed almost everybody he was there all the jews who had been brought to this camp but there's evidence to show that it was done after he left and the u.s. government says that that's enough to prosecute him but the german government says that this might not be enough legally according to german german law are it or not you when during your time in the u.s. you spoke to the u.s. justice department what evidence that they have concretely against polya yes we spoke to a man who has been called the nazi hunter because he made it his career over the past twenty years or so to find nazis in the u.s. and have them deported he was surprised that this case took so long but he believes like other u.s. officials that b

see the political elites the intellect and elites in germany comes from germany into a multi-ethnic and multicultural society which has been happening in west germany for many decades such that such as a society is something quite common in many cities and parts of this show many but the transformation of a society so far not being multi-ethnic and multicultural into such a society is a process which will not go on without any conflicts any struggles input to couldn't not if the east german society which strongly dislikes being similar to some problematic areas invest money if this society reacts and even revolt against this transformation and this is why i feel that my best educated guess is that such class streets in particular it is jealous that it wouldn't be able in the future israel what developed calls that we have been seeing from the the far right political party the a d. member of the a in the parliament here in berlin using social media and telling people to begin protecting themselves that's a call for vigilante justice how in the world should the government or the police fo

party which is very strong in this particular region of germany would you say that the a.f.d. which is now present in the bundestag is it essentially normalizing these right wing zina phobic views definitely definitely we have seen it if you can that's the f.t. who actually called for the first gathering on sunday to. that the person who died not only to mar and this person but also to show show the amount of rage and anger towards immigrants our so-called immigrants so we've seen it in chemists but we also see it into bundestag to set the language has changed we also see it with the other party we saw during the election campaign last year in germany that not only. on the complete right but also with the other parties we have to named it we also have to name the s.p.d. when it comes to writ rhetorics so i think it's very dangerous that the f.d.a. has set a. level a standard which is slow and not protecting migrants all minorities in germany i think i want to say one thing because i think it's very important that this movement is not only anti migrant it's it's a major part of
