by year in September it's the final leg of a long costly and challenging journey for this sense of jubilation may be short-lived the reality is that many may not qualify for asylum considered economic migrants rather than genuine refugees why have you come to Germany there are lots of reason why I came here because Germany is kind of you know luxurious and my field of study is industrial management I was PhD issued in my country and I wanted to pursue my education in the field of a no production management and for Iranian people unfortunately we needed to King we needed to passive our self as Iraqi or Afghans because the border is really really close for Iranian people because they say that Iran is an Iranian people are not living in war there was no alternative for for people for what we

conference is due to as soon as I mentioned interiors very much but then this is how finally here Rodimus but what happened in Cologne on New Year's Eve would radically alter German attitudes to refugees and threatened to undermine their welcomed culture [Music] we just got off out of the station without my friends and the whole place in front of the cathedral was just full with people and after some moments we just realized it was just man [Applause] [Music] young farm conservation services finance issue we know it come on adversity limbs running in Deutschland [Applause] won't add too

for us the Germans they all look the same [Music] [Applause] [Music] with the festivities barely over cologne police put out a press statement that would soon come back to haunt them thus communication afterwards by a cologne police was just a complete and utter failure because at first they pretended that nothing had happened although they must have known from very very early point onwards that things had gone completely out of hand the press release issued the morning after declared that the celebrations had passed off peacefully days later the Chief of Police lost his job

Christianity infomercial and for students idea for Alec evasion beyond that is an Fela and thus that's off te was there a culture of silence around crimes like this committed by people with a migrant background as who may call it the culture of silence it's because of of German history because of the atrocities Germany has caused to to other people because of the racism in the last century that they're caused robber to and the Holocaust it is a an extremely touchy subject and in Germany too to talk about crime rates amongst foreigners or amongst people with migration backgrounds it took two days for the police to publicly acknowledge this scale of what had happened for the following days and weeks more than 1,100 complaints were lodged for crimes including theft and sexual assault many of the victims young women 125 men are now under investigation the majority of suspects asylum seekers and illegal immigrants from Morocco Algeria Tunisia nine are from Syria other viajar dim & hocus

their vandalism and terrorism here shame on you Chancellor Merkel and shame [Applause] yeah I'm happy I found the ones politic for America's new Schmidt song boil when yvm are under cool tones was Rhonda's fest - Samia and Montoya in common I was amiable optical - otakus after and on this world Benny [Applause] the other woman in German politics alongside the Chancellor making political headlines [Applause] on the refugee issue many people here telling us they think the Chancellor has simply got it wrong Helen was an accident that waited to happen but it was not a singular event because at the same time we had similar incidents going on in the north in the south of Germany but there were not as well published as the Cologne events they symbolize a development in Germany that clearly has to do with migration that clearly has to do with failures in integration policies over the past five decades I would say so it's time to wake up that's what I think Germans now do and especially women I think now realized that it's not their classical representatives such as the Greens who take action but it's us the alternative Prathap a trees party 1 between 13 and 24 percent of the vote in state elections here in March she's adored by her own party but also has many detractors she goes to a party [Music] you were put on the front page of the Spiegel magazine the title was the hate preacher what's your reaction to that are you a preacher I'm neither preacher not one of hate I think looking at this the speaker cover makes clear how anxious the other parties are I mean so yes in a way it hurts to see oneself presented as that but I know it's so true so I'm fairly Reax about that because I think that citizens started to notice what tendency there is in many German media when it comes to representing or presenting the AFT and via shuffle versus sort of we can yeah we can do we can make it and it's become a lot harder of course Tanit core took over as editor of the built newspaper at the beginning of the year the first woman to head europe's biggest selling Daily News Eve changed a lot among those people who felt they couldn't openly talk about certain challenges and problems and now feel they can I think it's important that Germany finally opens up to a more liberal debating culture because some subjects simply were too booed Macedonian Greek border yeah by not talking about certain inconvenient truths such as lack of integration among some we've allowed populist and more extreme parties and groups to gain followers and attraction because they could always say listen we're the ones they tell you the truth and all the others the establishment they they lie to you the migrant influx is costing Germany billions of euros but Chancellor Merkel is urging her countrymen to see it as less of a burden and more of an opportunity it's been heard loud and clear by some in Cologne he rang avoided us their beliefs continue on the border for Pune yeah this is the even if I provide the treatment accomplice emailing a sport hotel the free book here we are a platform is X know which path woman you leaving out Research Alliance in the men at work Mario s Connie volunteers helping refugees he also owns a refugee hostel in the middle class suburb of blook for that the government pays him up to 35 euros a day per refugee been in mine who's living visits got sad and therefore Caviezel that's a good for me China s classified for the government is so hard to find new buildings to give some room to refugees and they asked us can you please before you have built complete can you take somewhere for different this we decide okay we do this at the moment there are about 70 people staying at Mario's hostile when renovations are finished it will house up to 130 this is complete kitchen they can cook here by six people and do their fresh meat because they have to do their food themselves yeah it's no company coming and give food for them they get some little money and they have to do their food than said like you do how much something about 320 euro per month asylum seekers are given somewhere to live and money to live on while the refugee applications are being processed it's a gamble Germany hopes for one day pay off with the lowest birth rate in the world the country is in desperate need of workers something about 1 million people coming to Germany it's a lot of money what you have to pay for and maybe it's also good for Germany or for you Europe because the people coming also human capital you can build them you can grow them up too as you can teach them to be really really useful workers miss our boss I'm not I know many refugees coming from African countries like these two guys and they sometimes lazy they're lazy and they need woman or someone who tells them everyday to do some things but these two guys do the Bible by themselves they ask me can you give me more cleanings and material we want to do this we want to do that so 7 o'clock ok Martines is Nigerian he's been living in Germany for the past 8 months but he's been in Europe much longer than that before he came here he says he was given asylum in Greece but when the economy there crashed he headed to Germany believing he too was welcome I woke increase for 7 years I pay tax I pay everything but the government didn't recognize you so that is why I decide when I lost my job that's why I decide to leave the country to Germany so when I when I want to live because we have I don't have documents to travel so the United Nation and the German government decide about the border [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the people of Cologne of being celebrating carnival for centuries it is a really big deal in this city probably Thanksgiving
