Some areas of Berlin are not safe for ‘openly gay’ and Jewish people, a local police chief has admitted. Barbara Slowik, head of the police force in the German capital, said: ‘There are areas, and we need to be honest here, where I would advise people who wear a kippah or are openly gay or lesbian to be more careful.’ ‘Unfortunately, there are certain neighborhoods where the majority of people live are of Arab descent, who also have sympathies for terrorist groups,’ she told local outlet Berliner Zeitung.

Wearing an eye-catching hounds tooth patterned winter coat and his large yellow trilby, the TV star flew under the radar as he made his way through the capital.
