Antisemitism in Europe | DW Documentary

Has antisemitism returned to Europe? Our documentary asks: what is it like to be a Jew in Germany, Poland and France today?

Fear has returned to Europe. Jewish people are afraid of attacks in the street and their children report bullying at school. Cemeteries have been desecrated and hate slogans chanted at parades. Reporters Andreas Morell and Johanna Hasse set out to investigate Europe’s reawakened nationalism and find rising anti-Semitism, especially in Poland. Why does anti-Semitism still exist in society? Why are some prejudices apparently impossible to eradicate? France has even witnessed violent attacks against Jews in recent years, which has led to an increase in emigration of French Jews to Israel. The finger of blame for this new anti-Semitism is usually pointed at Muslims. Morell and Hasse talk to historians and philosophers such as Georges Bensoussan and Elisabeth Badinter, as well as with Rabbi Michel Serfaty, who has tried to mediate between the religions for many years. But when they return to Germany, they realize the same problems exist here too. Perhaps Germany has been too preoccupied with finding solutions and dealing with the idea that anti-Semitism is an immutable problem instead of a social challenge to be confronted. The documentary is an inventory of anti-Semitism in Europe, a film about people caught between despair and hope, and resignation and resistance.

Who Will Be Worst Hit by US Sanctions on Iran? | Inside Story

US President teased his 55 million Twitter followers about his latest action against Iran in the style of a Hollywood movie poster - a picture of him with the words: Sanctions are Coming.

But Donald Trump's taunt wasn't a joke - and it's expected there'll be real life consequences for millions of Iranians. The strict economic and trade penalties come into effect on Monday. The White House says the aim is to force Iran to abandon what it calls its "destructive" behaviour in the Middle East.

But the move's been condemned by Russia, China, and many European allies. International investigators say Tehran is complying with the terms of the 2015 nuclear agreement.

As Trump keeps his promise to punish Iran, could the new tough measures end up hurting the Iranian people the most?

Will the Body of the Saudi Journalist Ever Be Found? | Inside Story

It's a month to the day since Jamal Khashoggi walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul - and was never seen again.

What happened to the Saudi Arabian journalist and critic of the Saudi Crown Prince has been the subject of denials, official leaks, presidential speeches, changing Saudi narrative, and global outrage.

His killing has caused countries world-wide to reexamine their relationship with the Kingdom, especially the United States.

Donald Trump's response has kept shifting.

One thing has remained constant: his commitment to the US-Saudi relationship - and the billions of dollars in oil and weapons sales it brings. So, where do things go from here?

Eight Saudi Princes Want King Salman Ousted: Report

A new report reveals that eight of the 12 surviving sons of Saudi Arabia’s founding monarch are supporting a palace coup to oust King Salman. British daily, the Independent, quoted an unnamed Saudi prince as saying that there is an increasing pressure within the royal family to end the internal power struggle that has erupted since King Salman inherited the throne early this year. He said a clear majority of powerful clerics also back the move to oust the current King and install his younger brother, Ahmed bin Abdulaziz, in his place. The prince also predicted that eventually either King Salman will step down or Prince Ahmed will become Crown Prince, with full control over the whole country. The prince, who was not named for quote-security reasons, is reportedly the author of two recently published letters calling for the royal family to replace the current Saudi leadership.

King Salman's Brother Returns to Riyadh amid Khashoggi Crisis l Breaking News

The only surviving full brother of Saudi Arabia's King Salman has reportedly returned to the kingdom, amid international outcry over the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Prince Ahmad bin Abdulaziz flew back to Riyadh from London on Tuesday, according to three Saudi sources close to the prince cited by 'The New York Times', in what some analysts are calling a potential challenge to the authority of Saudi Arabia's de-facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

One of the most senior members of the royal family, Prince Ahmad - who has been living in the United Kingdom - is said to have agreed to return to Riyadh only after receiving security assurances from the UK and United States.

The reports say the prince had been afraid to return home after publicly challenging bin Salman on several occasions.

Is Saudi Arabia Trying to Protect Whoever Ordered Khashoggi Murder? l Inside Story

Turkey's president is accusing Saudi Arabia of stalling the investigation into the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Saudi leaders are playing a game to protect someone. He's ramping up the pressure to know who; and demanding information about where the journalist's body is.

Saudi Arabia's Chief prosecutor met his Turkish counterpart for a second time in Istanbul - after what the Turks call an unsatisfactory first meeting on Monday. Sources say the Saudis have finally handed over the testimonies of 18 suspects who are being held in the Kingdom. Where the suspects should be tried is being argued over. Turkey is calling for their extradition; the Saudis insist they'll be tried at home.

As the US considers its options, and the European Union faces further calls to ban arms sales - will the Saudis budge?

Glenn Greenwald on Bolsonaro: Brazil Has Elected “Most Extremist Leader in the Democratic World”

Far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro has been elected Brazil’s next president, marking the most radical political shift in the country since military rule ended more than 30 years ago. Bolsonaro, a former Army officer, openly supports torture and dictatorships, has a history of making racist, misogynistic and homophobic comments, and has threatened to destroy, imprison or banish his political opponents. He defeated Fernando Haddad of the leftist Workers’ Party with 55 percent of the vote. His ascendance to power is leading many to fear the future of democracy in Brazil is in danger. We speak with Glenn Greenwald, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and one of the founding editors of The Intercept, in Rio de Janeiro. He says that Bolsonaro is “by far the most extremist leader now elected anywhere in the democratic world.”

Can Saudi, Turkey Work Together to Shed Light on Khashoggi Murder? l Inside Story

It's been more than three weeks since journalist Jamal Khashoggi walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, never to be seen again. And with each passing day, brings a new element to a crime that's shocked the world.

Turkey wants Saudi Arabia to extradite the 18 men who've been suspected in his killing. But Saudi Arabia insists they will face justice in the Kingdom. This issue will likely top the agenda as Saudi Arabia's top prosecutor arrives in Turkey.

The Initial Turkish inquiry has concluded that the killing was premeditated, a fact, Saudi officials have taken some time to acknowledge. Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan is urging Saudi Arabia to disclose where Khashoggi's remains are and explain who gave the order to kill him. So, will the two countries co-operate?

Günter Gaus im Gespräch mit Franz Josef Strauß (1964)

Der Untergang des Osmanischen Reiches

Mit den von den Mächten eingeforderten Reformen gingen zunehmend wirtschaftliche Probleme einher. In den „Kapitulationen“ genannten Handelsverträgen wurde der Markt im Osmanischen Reich für die Europäer geöffnet, und die Einfuhrzölle lagen unter den Ausfuhrzöllen. Durch die mangelnde Wettbewerbsfähigkeit des osmanischen Handwerks wurde das Osmanische Reich zum Importeur von europäischen Waren und der Aufbau einer eigenen Industrie unterbunden. Unterdessen fanden die Unruhen auf dem Balkan kein Ende. Nach einem Krieg gegen Serbien 1876 wurde in Istanbul eine internationale Konferenz einberufen, auf der die Zukunft des Balkan diskutiert wurde. Um seine Reformbereitschaft zu demonstrieren, kündigte der durch einen Staatsstreich an die Macht gekommene Abdülhamid II. eine liberale Verfassung an, die ein parlamentarisches System eingeführt hätte. Als Ergebnis der Konferenz fassten die Mächte eine Autonomie sowohl für zwei Provinzen auf bulgarischem Gebiet als auch für Bosnien und Herzegowina ins Auge. Als die „Hohe Pforte“ dies ablehnte, erklärte Russland den Krieg, besetzte den gesamten europäischen Teil der Türkei und rückte auf Istanbul vor. Nach der Entscheidungsschlacht am Schipkapass im Januar 1878 war der Sieg der russischen Truppen nicht mehr zu verhindern. Ende Januar 1878 bat das Osmanische Reich um den Abschluss eines Friedensvertrages.

John Bolton Gets Us One Step Closer to Nuclear War with Russia

Donald Trump’s National Security Adviser John Bolton is blocking talks at the moment that could help extend a nuclear treaty between the US and Russia, and instead he wants the US to just pull out of these nuclear agreements. Not only is this move being derided as hasty and reckless, it would also send a signal to the rest of the world that the US is no longer keeping their word on agreements from the past. This is dangerous, and John Bolton is clearly calling the shots in this administration. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Is the Global Response to Khashoggi Killing Tough Enough? | Inside Story

Outrage, condemnation and diplomatic action escalating worldwide. The killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi continues to provoke reactions.

He was last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2nd. Since then, the world has been gripped by accounts of what really happened.

The mystery first unfolded through leaks by Turkish investigators. Reports emerged about a Saudi-hit squad killing and dismembering the journalist - allegedly on the orders of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

After two weeks of Saudi denials, diplomats eventually admitted Khashoggi was 'mistakenly' killed during a brawl in the consulate. And denied any involvement by bin Salman - denials met with widespread scepticism.

Turkey's President has confirmed what he callled a 'savage, pre-meditated murder.' Recep Tayyip Erdogan's calling for an independent, credible investigation with accountability - from top to bottom. And he's calling on the Kingdom to provide answers - especially - who gave the order to murder and where are Khashoggi's remains? But will those answers ever be provided?
