1st time in my life that i myself find a threatening issue can i know stories from the nazi or from my grandfather, and i don't want that to happen again. purchased or wrapped it after damage to that alternative for gemini members and me or not to use met to discuss plans to deport millions of people with migrant routes, including german citizens. the policies leadership has tried to distance itself from the so called mazda plan, but the revelation has fox nationwide outrage, even something chancellor left sholtes to join a protest in his hometown of puts them. he said the plan for mass deportations should send a shiver down. people spines, so i guess i'm not, i'm saying it clearly bluntly, i think for this rightly extreme is our attacking our democracy to them. they want
9:03 am
to destroy all cohesion by not go ahead and confirm that a secret conference. these extreme is discussed how they could expel millions of people from our country on the pipe, and it's no empty threats. polling shows the posse in 2nd place, a worry so many a head of state elections. we see more demonstrations, a planned for the weekend as close to them, the policy entirely grew louder and louder. i'm now joined by dw political correspondent, thomas barrow in our studio here in berlin. thomas, i can't ever recall seeing so many people take the streets against the far right extremism and racism. here in germany, can you explain to us why people feel the urge to do so now because they feel the urge to protest to go to the streets. and to make sure that the political reaction to these revelations that not only come from the courts or from political 5, the,
9:04 am
and the german parliament. but there is also a response by different groups in society. and that's why all across germany is but only humbug, but in many different stages in the country. people that actually go into the streets to protest because they do not feel represented by what was discussed in the meeting. it's important distress michael, that the if the may be putting around 20 to 23 percent and nationally, even higher numbers in the eastern part of the country. but that leaves a majority of people who feel that they do not feel represented by those policies or by those ideas that the a, f d has presented in different scenarios in the government parliament in regional parliamentary but also in meetings like like this. so this is basically how chapman society decided to react to those revelations. what more do we know about this so called meeting what factions or groups were represented, and what exactly did they discuss? so extremist, neo nazis, members of the far right alternative for germany, both from a federal level, from a regional level. also a couple of
9:05 am
a members of the main conservative party in germany. the c d. u. business people met. and that happened in november in the city of pots dumps of neo berlin. and that was a meeting where these plans they must have planned, was discussed to the port people from germany, send them to an unnamed african country. and obviously that brought back memories of germany's doc history. it was actually not far away way. 1942, the nazis discussed the final solution for the jewish situation. it was also by the way, similar to a plan that the nazis also discussed to send millions of jews to an african country . so you can see that those similarities that these description that this plan is something that has obviously shocked germany to. it's called goodness, gracious thomas, as you well know, there are increasing cost of band the a f d the far right a f d i should keep repeating and altogether is that even feasible?
9:06 am
is it realistic? well feasible, yes it is something that is actually contemplated in the german consecration that a potty can be banned if it is confirmed, it's a threat to german democracy that there are clear actions that demonstrate that's correct, but it's a very difficult title. only twice. in postwar german history, a party has been, bonded was both in the 1950s calls to bind. for example, the neo nazi and p d. parties failed in recent times. so it is something that kind of happened the question whether it will happen is a different one. and there are many here discussing that. it would actually benefits the a if they do have such a lengthy process where they would, they would be and then use all the time with people would be discussing that. and where the success at the end is not necessarily guaranteed because we've seen examples in the past where it took a long time. and in the end it wasn't successful because of those adults. and that's why the, the reaction to these revelations has come, not only from
9:07 am
a possible legal level, if you will, and the possibility of binding the ac, but also from a political level or the other democratic parties and the german problem and have rejected this. and then also obviously from a social level from society and we saw that in the focus that has happened and then we'll continue to happen in the next few days. interesting. i mean, the party could certainly claim victim hood and the so called democracy, thomas barrow dw political corresponded many, many thanks is always a quick look now at some of the other headlines around the world, this our us president joe biden says he spoke with the is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu about possible solutions for the creation of an independent palestinian state, asked by reporters if a 2 state solution was impossible with netanyahu in office. biden said, no, it's not. the 2 leaders spoke on the phone friday. their 1st direct communication in almost a month. the united nation says the republic of congo urgently needs aid. after the

moving us japan's lunar lander reach the moon on friday, making it the 5th country to land successfully on the lunar surface. people in japan gathered for public viewing of the smart lender for investigating moon or swim to see it complete a soft landing. but soon after the land or suffered a power glitch that prevented its solar panels from generating electricity, it needs to keep functioning within the lunar environment. earlier i spoke to corresponding sonya blanca in tokyo. i asked her to give us a sense of how widespread the public entries in this movie landing is well, i think overall, to be honest, um, there isn't really something over which makes sense of price. so i think i'm sure amongst into this, of course, there have been probably viewing certain other events. people have use on 10 us to
9:10 am
reach out to to get signals from the moon. but overall i find it surprisingly quiet in japan, there's not much on the media. i'm not much in in the papers is through quite early . of course they were 80000 people watching the live stream of the press conference last night. but yeah, overall it's a bit quiet. so maybe because one doesn't quite know yet how successful not successful the mission has been fair point. what's the main objective of this mission? and is the japanese space agency on target to achieve the as they were to main alternates, one was to achieve a soft landing which it looks like they've achieved. they expressed that they are confident that that actually works because they can still receive communication from the spacecraft. and the 2nd goal was a pin point landing, meaning they, once it's too recent area within a hundreds of needs a frame. and at this stage they say they're not quite sure if they manage to jesus

soul. this will take about a month to find out and there will be enough to keep up to it next week on that. but it looks like they, they might, has actually reached that precision goal so to speak. and at the moment, they're really trying to get as much data as they can from the device. and to be clear, this mission is still continuing. heat has suffered some setbacks. what's the latest you're hearing about? it's transitive. continuing to operate on the moon's surface. yes, the biggest issues being that apparently a solar panel hasn't worked as it was supposed to is supposed to generate energy, but that doesn't seem to be working. and so it can only rely on a battery that's been on board. and that battery might have run out as we speak because they said that it had only the power for a couple of hours. so it was, they were truly trying to prioritize getting the data from the device as quickly as
9:12 am
possible. and at this stage, they're hoping that at some point, maybe the solar panels and the sun might be in a good angle. so that's possibly at the latest stage of the solar panels might be working again. but if the website is still clear at this point, that's a correspondence. sonya laska in tokyo, thanks very much. sonya we may very well see you again this weekend and welcome to germany has held a memorial service for football, great friends, beckoned bower who died earlier. this month at the age of $78.00, among the $50000.00 gas, yet the buying unit stadium were retired and current players, fans and public figures including german chancellor, olaf, shots buying minix. alan serena was the venue for germany's farewell to its greatest ever football fan. second, bella was saluted with these favorite piece of italian music. most of the
