At Javi, not far from the city of Cut,

five PKK fighters,

disguised as soldiers,

attacked a bar

and opened fire.

The victims

were between 15 and 25 years old.

Ten other men were injured,

some very seriously.

This woman lost her husband

in a fight

where, as all

the other victims...

Dear Lord, may the young ones

live long and in good health

and may I live long

and in good health

and may Marie be happier

and help me be better and happier

and may I not get a deadly disease

and may there not be a World War III

or a nuclear catastrophe,

neither in ours nor our children's time

and help all those who suffer in the world

and I thank you, My Lord, amen.

- When did you return?

- It's been six hours.

Right on time! Hi Annie.

Good day.

- Come in, don't be shy.

- Good day Annie.

Good day.

Come in please.

Let me take your coat.

- Was it easy to find?

- Oh yes. No problem.

Let me take your jacket.

Your colleague from Children's Aid

had trouble finding us.

Do you like her?

I am happy you that you put it.

Come Annie, take off your jacket

You will be very hot.

That is kind of you. Thank you.

I promise I will return it to you.

Here, come in.

It's that way.

Here Please sit down

I hope you like the cake

- Please have a seat.

- Thank you .

Are you coming?

Come Annie. Sit here.

What is it?

What are you saying?

I do not understand you.

Ah good. ..

She wants to see her room.

Excuse me?

She would like to see her room.

Ah good... of course.

But, it is not finished yet.

Here you go, little Miss.

So, do you like it?

If you follow the rules

you will not have any problems.

But this is not good

Do you have another idea?

Do you prefer to have it bad?

Back up. !

Please back up to the quay

If you bet on his existence

you will win all.

If he does not exist

you do not lose anything.

The other guy asks:

But then, why bet?

The first guy replies

You don't have any choice, you are in it.

It is an empty promise,

if I don't want it, I am not forced.

If you say that you are not betting,

you are saying he does not exist

You can not say that abstaining from voting

is not a political act.

How lucky to find you here.

I did not feel like training at all.

I will give you the money tomorrow

- Why did you step out like that?

- I

You did not pay attention, that is all!

Look at this.

Look, here, you are well positioned,

the centre of gravity, the feet,

it is good.

Base position, good.

And then here:

Look where you are:

Way too close to the table!

Your feet are turned the wrong way.

Why don't you back off the table?

That is too late. And where is the ball?

Way behind.

And your centre of gravity,

in your ass!

You can not get the ball anymore,

it takes you too far back.

Look how you twist yourself.

All of your energy is wasted

to the left - all wrong!

You were surprised because you were not

paying attention! That is not an excuse!

Smashing, that is not enough. Open your eyes

Look at the opponent!

You are not playing alone.

OK!

No need to get nervous.

Do not annoy me

and concentrate yourself.

- And stop making excuses.

- I am not making excuses.

You do not stop excusing yourself.

You were too much forward,

a point, this is all.

You have to follow the ball,

not the other way around!

Yes, I know

Finally, if you believe

It is easy to say that,

I know I am troubling you

No, it's nothing,

it is not difficult

to do all that and pretend,

I suppose you would give me trouble anyway.

OK, fine

Why?

Why?

Come on, stop

that is a waste of money.

No, I am very busy

Do you want me to tell you

all that I did during the day?

Good, well

Yes

I agree.

Good, well

I almost forgot,

where is Gebhard

being transferred to?

I can not begin to understand that

How much time will it take?

Maybe he would have again.

OK, that is good

I know

I will stop talking

Yes

What works for you doesn't count.

Clearly, an old person

must be grumpy

otherwise, the world would come upside down

Ben just needs his nose broken

That is not my job..

OK, I beg you

but it is true

Yes, of course

Let's erase that

What do you want me to say?

If I do not say anything,

I am indifferent.

And, if I say just one word,

I meddle too much!

What do you want me to do

I am sorry I exist,

excuse me

OK, good.

I'll stop

Say,

I wanted to tell you,

Wawrik, you know,

the one next door with the dog,

she moved

to live with her children,

because it was becoming too much for her,

cooking, housekeeping, and

you know, all the rest.

Now, her children took her in,

because

she said she would rather kill herself

than go to a retirement home.

I wouldn't believe a word of it.

but it worked

Ben, that is all.

I do not have anything else to say

Say hello to Gebhard

and kiss Sissi,

I long to see her

You have no idea how

lucky you are with her.

Stupidities

In the end, could one

have even more fun?

I said that kindly

Yes, of course

Go, kiss.

Such stupid word,

I never did it

Kiss!

Your mother shattered me over time

Between adults

Maybe it's nothing

What?

Say, is that my telephone bill?

Apart from myself, what do

you want me to talk about?

That is the only thing

that an honest person

can talk about.

What?

If you had enough

just hung up!

But you will regret it later

You see how I know you

As if I made you.

Yes, you are right.

When bored.

one tends to say a pile of crap

Good eh good. Then

good night.

Wait

Call me back Sissi, just

Yes, good

Bye.

Hallo, my baby

sleep well

have beautiful dreams.

No

I do not know

what you dreamed yesterday.

No! Say it Ben!

Good!

What did he do?

I understand,

I would have done the same

Listen.

This night,

you will do something else.

When you

Mommy, what is she saying?

Call me back

Listen really.

sometimes I ask myself,

I assure you

What?

Ah good?

You are really mean,

do you know that?

What is that?

You want to offend me?

Or rather

Sir, calm down and listen to me.

Stop screming like that all the time!

Well, hang up then

I already told you everything.

Ah good ?

Perfect!

You'll see

Why do you want the revenge?

What?

Why do you want revenge?

You can't be nasty

just for fun

I would really like

to see you in my shoes....

Yes, exactly

Everything will pass

Exactly!

You will see

Bye!

Sissi, call me back one more time

just briefly

as not to interfere

with your family life.

My baby

I love you.

What do you have?

Are you drunk or what?

Yes, why?

Not too much.

What do you have in your head?

Won't say, just like that.

I love you. You above all.

So, what do you want?

- I thought that would be useful ...

- What?

Old High German.

Yesa bit strange,

like a foreign language,

but I can't say I don't like it.

Just before Christmas.

Looks it is not too hard

His questions are rather easy.

The main problem is that

I do not like studying.

What about you?

Did the Gauweilers finish renovations?

I can't wait to see
