i'm now joined by daily political correspondent melinda crane to discuss this further melinda thank you for joining us the major fear perhaps was that an american led intervention a military intervention what put them in direct conflict with the russian is that right still clear and present no i don't think it is i think it has been substantially mitigated by the fact that this strike was indeed so limited and so targeted and that russia for example showed immediate relief its spokespeople could not get out there quickly enough after the strike to say none of our forces on the ground in syria were damaged in fact the strikes were wide too far apart from any of our installations and similarly us spokespeople very very clear to say we did not look to hit russian targets we did not look to engage with them now we know that russia is very eager to get a summit between vladimir putin and donald trump if you look at the larger picture russia's actions in syria are very much about read gaining influence on the world stage a summit with trump would be that therefore i think they're looking towa

i had a procedural question maybe for melinda or phil or both of you. when these jobs are let out, is there an engineer's estimate and did these two bids come within that range, or is that because of the scope of work here that there wasn't one done? just how does that work? >> excellent. i can take that question, commissioner mazzola. so yes, this is the third project -- third trail improvement project that we've bid line item, and we do that because for the trails projects, in the field, our staff does their best job to anticipate the distances, but it's helpful to have those costs line item so if it's 110 feet instead of 108, we have the pricing there. we did provide an estimate. this estimate came in over bid. however, the trails project prequalifications built in them. so, for example, this park

trying to day melinda germany in the lead up to this is saying it will not offer any military help why that position that is the case and neither the chancellor nor the foreign minister outlined a list of reasons but as we both know this is a traditional position for germany to take a position of restraint when it comes to the use of military force if you think back to other out of area activities exam for example the coalition of the willing in the iraq war germany very explicitly rejected taking part in that where it has sent forces to participate in missions beyond nato territory it has always been with been within a larger nato const text of a real nato. and the reason for that quite simply germany's experiences in the twentieth century as the perpetrator of the holocaust as a country that was part of the causes of two world wars and that was absolutely deeply affected by all that ensued it is very skeptical about the use of military force and we see that in polls at the moment seventy eight percent of germans say they do not want to see this country take part in military action in

let me know when our chief political correspondent melinda create she joins us from our parliamentary studios melinda germany has ruled out the military option what kind of pressure good foreign minister. we talking about. mr moussa didn't elaborate on that point but if we listen to what he said there and what he also had to say yesterday these are much more robust messages directed at russia than we sometimes have heard from the british the german foreign ministry and i think what germany is basically trying to do is say any military action that takes place is part of a comprehensive pressure scenario that is being put on russia and is essentially designed to signal that russia has gone too far in supporting a client state syria bashar assad who have used chemical weapons not once not twice but actually several times in furtherance of the war and that this has to stop and and i think essentially germany is saying look we would not be part of any military action that may occur but we absolutely are part of a larger pressure movement on russia on syria aimed at getting a diplomatic sol

i'm now joined by chief political correspondent melinda crane to talk about the german position and then to thank you for coming in now germany has already said that it will not be offering minutes help why exactly is that well the chancellor didn't list her reasons when she made this announcement but it essentially is a long tradition in germany to exercise their deliberate restraint when it comes to military action and that has everything to do with this country's history the history of having been a perpetrator of the holocaust the involvement in two world wars is a lesson that for many germans means absolute restraint when it comes to involvement in the military missions and as you'll remember germany did not participate in the iraq war germany actually rarely participates in what are known as out of area missions meaning military missions outside the nato area when germany has participated it has been within a nato context and the chancellor has also been very careful to emphasize over the last couple of days that germany has been involved in syria in other ways for example by provi

now let's get more from data lish if political correspondent melinda quite welcome melinda tell us more about what the chancellor meant when she was talking about germany's new form of anti semitism. well essentially she means imported anti-semitism and as you heard her say there certainly germany has had its own homegrown version of anti-semitism both on the far right of the political spectrum and sometimes also on the far left but now since the influx of refugees especially from the middle east is muslim and also arab refugees there is a new imported variant that is essentially a mix of anti-semitism and anti israeli sentiment and it is hard to say however to what degree that particular source of anti-semitism is now the cause of a lot of the rise and to semitic incidents that we're witnessing such incidents are on the rise but there aren't any really firm statistics as to how many of them are being perpetrated by migrants and how many of them are being perpetrated by members of the far right here in germany and if you look at the police's numbers it looks like the source from migrant
