00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:07.340
The Visegrád Group

00:00:07.340 --> 00:00:09.720
Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia

00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:11.020
will carry on not participating

00:00:11.020 --> 00:00:12.500
in the allocation of refugees

00:00:12.500 --> 00:00:14.500
within the European Union.

00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:16.140
The EU commission has now

00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:18.520
initiated a procedure against said states.

00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:20.800
The only exception is Slovakia,

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.500
because they had accommodated 16 refugees

00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:25.380
and agreed to further admissions.

00:00:25.940 --> 00:00:27.540
In return, Hungary and Slovakia

00:00:27.560 --> 00:00:29.240
filed a suit against the EU

00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:31.160
because the admissions were enacted

00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.160
against protests of smaller EU countries.

00:00:33.580 --> 00:00:36.760
Ska Keller, the Green parliamentary party leader

00:00:36.760 --> 00:00:39.020
suggested to accommodate big refugee groups

00:00:39.020 --> 00:00:40.820
in Eastern Europe.

00:00:40.820 --> 00:00:42.840
This way, an entire Syrian village

00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:44.440
could be relocated in Latvia, for example.

00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:46.120
Supposedly, the integration process

00:00:46.120 --> 00:00:48.100
can be simplified that way.

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.660
Erfurt's senior mayor Andreas Bausewein

00:00:52.660 --> 00:00:55.600
has been excluded from Thuringia's Refugee Council.

00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.040
The SPD politician

00:00:57.040 --> 00:01:00.340
spoke out against the compulsory education of children of asylum seekers

00:01:00.340 --> 00:01:02.200
in an open letter in 2015

00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.180
and has been criticized back then

00:01:04.180 --> 00:01:05.880
- also from his own party.

00:01:06.380 --> 00:01:08.160
Bausewein wrote that compulsory education

00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:10.220
should only apply for children of asylum seekers

00:01:10.220 --> 00:01:12.680
when the refugee status has been determined.

00:01:13.220 --> 00:01:15.200
Also, the list of safe countries of origin

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:16.680
should be revised.

00:01:17.080 --> 00:01:18.740
The German constitution

00:01:18.740 --> 00:01:21.280
doesn't imply legal right for compulsory education

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:24.000
to refugees or foreigners without residence status.

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.620
Article 14 of the Charta of Fundamental Rights of the EU

00:01:26.620 --> 00:01:29.180
adjudicates every person to education,

00:01:29.180 --> 00:01:32.560
as well as to job training and further education,

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:34.800
including the gratuitous attendance

00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:36.540
in compulsory education.

00:01:37.180 --> 00:01:39.180
Many states abide this law.

00:01:39.460 --> 00:01:41.480
The education act of North Rhine-Westphalia,

00:01:41.500 --> 00:01:44.140
which became effective on the 1st of August 2005,

00:01:44.140 --> 00:01:47.380
explicitly enshrines compulsory education in section 34

00:01:47.380 --> 00:01:49.500
- also for minor refugees.

00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:50.620
In this, North Rhine-Westphalia

00:01:50.620 --> 00:01:52.640
was the pioneer out of all German states.

00:01:54.720 --> 00:01:57.580
Beate Szydlo, Polands right-wing populist head of government,

00:01:57.580 --> 00:01:59.160
caused a scandal with her expressions

00:01:59.160 --> 00:02:00.640
at a commemoration

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.015
at the extermination camp Auschwitz.

00:02:03.020 --> 00:02:05.820
She utilized the commemoration of the victims of Auschwitz

00:02:05.820 --> 00:02:09.200
to speak out in favor of Polands anti-refugee policy.

00:02:09.640 --> 00:02:12.140
"Such words at such a place

00:02:12.145 --> 00:02:14.865
should never be spoken by a Polish prime minister",

00:02:14.865 --> 00:02:18.285
Donald Tusk, the President of the European Council, said.

00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:22.600
Katarzyna Lubnauer, head of the liberal opposition Party,

00:02:22.600 --> 00:02:25.720
blamed Szydlo to abuse the horror of Auschwitz,

00:02:25.720 --> 00:02:27.840
to scare the Polish from refugees.

00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:30.060
Keeping in mind,

00:02:30.060 --> 00:02:34.420
that 74.000 of a total of 150.000 prisoners of Auschwitz

00:02:34.420 --> 00:02:35.840
were murdered by the Nazis ,

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.080
Szydlo displayed her political incompetence.

00:02:40.260 --> 00:02:43.400
European citizens are supporting the European Union.

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:45.040
This is the result of a survey

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:47.440
of the US American polling institute

00:02:47.440 --> 00:02:49.140
"Pew Research Center".

00:02:49.140 --> 00:02:52.840
10.000 citizens of the 10 biggest EU countries were polled.

00:02:53.180 --> 00:02:56.020
While the "pro Europe attitude" has risen most

00:02:56.020 --> 00:02:57.960
in Germany and France,

00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.960
it has also risen in the United Kingdom by 10%

00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:02.800
- despite Brexit.

00:03:02.820 --> 00:03:05.060
This is similar to further states,

00:03:05.060 --> 00:03:07.600
such as the Netherlands or Spain.

00:03:07.600 --> 00:03:10.080
Merely Italy stands out,

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.120
as they record a slight decline.

00:03:12.980 --> 00:03:15.920
Many might see the example of England as a warning.

00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:19.360
Only 18% of all polled EU citizens

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.720
want their country to leave the Union

00:03:23.340 --> 00:03:25.300
People with a foreign name

00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:26.460
are being wronged,

00:03:26.460 --> 00:03:28.220
when looking for an apartment in Germany.

00:03:28.220 --> 00:03:30.120
This is the result of joint research

00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:31.300
of data-driven journalists

00:03:31.300 --> 00:03:33.640
of the SPIEGEL magazine and the Bayerischer Rundfunk.

00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:36.060
Especially Turkish or Arabian names

00:03:36.060 --> 00:03:38.000
are being discriminated.

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.360
The were rejected in every fourth case.

00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.000
Instead, a "classic" German name was preferred.

00:03:43.640 --> 00:03:45.640
The journalists reached out

00:03:45.640 --> 00:03:47.600
to about 20,000 online offers

00:03:47.600 --> 00:03:49.400
and got 8,000 replies.

00:03:49.980 --> 00:03:52.760
The fictive test subjects were almost identical,

00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:54.280
excluding the names,

00:03:54.300 --> 00:03:58.160
which were of German, Polish, Turkish or Arabian origin.

00:03:58.820 --> 00:04:01.280
Especially cities with high housing demand,

00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.360
such as Munich or Frankfurt on the Main,

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.220
displayed high discrimination in particular.

00:04:05.460 --> 00:04:07.320
Private landlords displayed the same,

00:04:07.320 --> 00:04:09.020
as opposed to industrial ones.

00:04:09.020 --> 00:04:11.240
In addition, Turkish or Arabian men

00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:13.060
have got it harder than their female counterparts.

00:04:14.860 --> 00:04:16.420
Pictures of demonstrators

00:04:16.420 --> 00:04:18.700
that set cars on fire and looted stores.

00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:20.360
Pictures of policemen

00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.060
that also beat up peaceful demonstrators for no reason.

00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.340
And a bunch of heads of state

00:04:25.340 --> 00:04:28.320
that - as expected - didn't achieve much

00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:30.100
and therefore cannot justify

00:04:30.100 --> 00:04:32.340
the summit's costs of 130 million Euros.

00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:34.040
These pictures and impressions

00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:35.560
were seen around the world.

00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.820
Now, one side is accusing the other

00:04:37.820 --> 00:04:39.400
- profiling rather than consensus.

00:04:39.400 --> 00:04:41.800
But the politicians got what they wanted:

00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:43.100
Great pictures,

00:04:43.100 --> 00:04:45.040
and a supposedly new problem

00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.040
concerning internal security.

00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:48.580
The perfect ammunition for the election campaign...

00:04:50.280 --> 00:04:51.940
The "BILD-Zeitung" as sheriff.

00:04:51.940 --> 00:04:53.740
On Monday's title page:

00:04:53.740 --> 00:04:56.200
Non-pixilated pictures of rioters,

00:04:56.200 --> 00:04:58.360
in addition, an APB directed towards the readers.

00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.100
A clear infringement of the right in one's own image,

00:05:01.100 --> 00:05:02.300
despite the fact

00:05:02.300 --> 00:05:04.680
that the police isn't even searching for these people,

00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:06.960
let alone asked the BILD for help.

00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:09.180
Once again, the BILD has got

00:05:09.180 --> 00:05:11.260
its very own conception of legality.

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:15.480
Chief editor Tanit Koch claimed on Twitter

00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.460
that the general right of personality

00:05:17.460 --> 00:05:19.260
has to accept a subordinate role

00:05:19.260 --> 00:05:21.120
to substantial public interest.

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.180
Yet, as long as there is no legal APB on hand

00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:25.880
this is simply wrong!

00:05:26.220 --> 00:05:28.500
Insisting on legal consequences,

00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:30.680
without sticking to fundamental laws herself...

00:05:30.940 --> 00:05:33.480
One would expect a little less hypocrisy

00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.500
from the chief editor of Germany's most sold newspaper.

00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:38.840
Well, as long as they have got high circulation...
