11:02 am
time in my life. so 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. these protests are happening after is to marriage the alternative for germany members, a new nazis met to discuss plans to deport millions of people with migrant rigs including german citizens. the parties leadership has tried to distance itself from the so called master plan. but the revelation has sparked nationwide a rage, even prompting chancellor, who laughed schultz to join a protest. your bear lead and he said the plan for mass deportations should send a shiver die. and people spines. so i guess, and i'd like this, i'm saying it clearly. i'm bluntly, i stick with this, rightly extreme is our attacking our democracy to them. they want to destroy all
11:03 am
cohesion. by, like, i'm confident, a secret conference. these extreme is discussed how they could expel millions of people from our country on a pipe, or did snow empty threats. cooling shows the party in 2nd place, a worry for many head of state elections this year. more demonstrations are taking place this weekend as calls to band, the party 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 fluoride extremism and racism. here in germany, can you explain to us why people feel leverage 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 party and the german parliament. but there is also a response by different groups in society. and that's why all across germany,
11:04 am
it's not only humbug, but in many different stages in the country. people are actually going to 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 maybe putting around 20 to 23 percent and nationally, even higher numbers in the eastern part of the country. but that leaves the 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 and regional parliament, but also in meetings like like this. so this is basically how my 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 extreme is neo nazis. members of the far right alternative for germany, both from a federal level, from a regional level. also a couple of a members of the main conservative party in germany. the c d. u. business people
11:05 am
met. and that happened in november in the city of pots dumps of neo berlin, and was a meeting where these plans, this mazda plan was discussed to deport people from germany, send them to an unnamed african country. and obviously that brought back memories of germany's dock 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 says, you will know there are increasing cost of band the a f d the far right a f d. i should keep repeating altogether. is that even feasible? is it realistic?
11:06 am
well feasible, yes it is something that is actually contemplated in the german constitution that of potty can be banned if it is confirmed that it's a threat to german democracy in that there are clear actions that demonstrate that fact, but it's a very difficult title. only twice in postwar, german history, a part of it 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 of 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 a possible legal level, if you will. and the possibility of binding the a fee,
11:07 am
but also from a political level, all of the democratic parties in the german parliament have rejected this. and then also obviously from a social level from society. and we saw that in the focus that have 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. as always, a quick look now at some of the other headlines around the world. us president joe biden says he spoke with 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 bite and said, no, it's not. the 2 leaders spoke on the phone friday, their 1st direct communication in almost a month when the united nation says the republic of congo urgently needs aid. after the worst flooding and 6 decades, it says some 350000 people require who many terry and assistance. months of extreme

making the 5th, making it the 5th country to land successfully on the lunar surface. people in japan gathered for public viewing of the smart land or for investigating moon or slim to see it complete a soft landing. but soon after the lander suffered a power glitch that prevented its solar panels from generating the electricity. it needs to keep functioning within the lunar environment. earlier i spoke to corresponding sonya blush got in tokyo. i asked her to give us a sense of how wide spread the public interest is in this moonlight day as well. i think overall, to be honest. um, there isn't really such an over with the sense of price. um, i think i'm sure i'm on this isn't too yes of course there have been public viewing certain other events. people have used to attend us to reach out to, to get signals from the moon. but overall, i find it surprisingly quiet in japan,
11:10 am
there's not much on the media. i'm not much in in the papers. it's quite early. of course. there were a few thousands of people watching the live stream of the press conference last nice um, but yeah, overall it's, it's a bit quiet. so maybe because one doesn't quite know yet how successful i'm 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 that? there were 2 main options. one was to achieve a soft landing which it looks like they've achieved state, 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 hoops to reach an area within a hundreds of needs a frame. and at this stage, they say they're not quite sure if they manage to achieve this goal. this will take
11:11 am
about a month to find out, and there will be enough to keep up to 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 chances of 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 possible. and at this stage, they're hoping that at some point, maybe the,
11:12 am
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 works, the light is still clear at this point. that's a corresponding sonya laska in tokyo, thanks very much. sonya, we may very well see you again this weekend and welcome jeremy has held a memorial service for football, great friends, back in bower, who died earlier this month at the age of 78. among the $50000.00 gas at the buying munich stadium were retired and current players, fans and public figures, including german chancellor, olaf schultz buying minix alan serena was the venue for germany's farewell to its greatest ever football fan. second ballot was saluted with these favorite piece of italian music, most beautiful. while former chimney coaches down to use the current by
