giving the party an outright majority in the senate. plus some of these trees are more than 500 years old. but of course, they're under threat. we report from madagascar where it's unique, bio diversity is under pressure from deforestation and drugs. ah, germany says it's foiled of far right plots to overthrow its government and rides at $130.00 sides across the country. it's prosecuted general p to frank says 25 people have been detained and that the group wanted to build a new german army. a soldier, a judge, and a russian national are among those arrested. a former german army officer has also been detained in italy. dumb net cane joins me now from berlin and on the account.

this is clearly a huge police operation that spends at least 2 countries. what more can you tell us about us? this is a very large operation which been more than one european country apart from germany, involved 3000 offices. there were thereabouts, 25 people taken into custody. many others also believed to be of interest to the police in this country. some of the details about specific individuals who have been picked up in these rates are particularly interesting. so the knowledge that a judge working in the berlin district, the berlin circuit area legally. well, that person is also a former member of parliament, was part of the previous parliament until 2021. and now is accused of having been involved in some sort of plot to try to overthrow that parliament. others are

believed to be people from the military. we know this a suggestion that a serving member of one of germany's most elite military units is part of the alleged plot is alleged to have tried to recruit others from that military unit. lots of different elements of information about those who have been arrested emerging and they all point in a particularly interesting direction. and a russian national was detained. so how concerned a german authorities about russia potentially being involved in this the 1st thing to say here is the very suggestion of any russian involvement has immediately been rebuffed by the russian government. me to repair scoff spokesperson in the kremlin has said, well, this is the 1st that the russian government heard of this. there could be no question of any interference by the russian government. and they only heard about it through the news. so officially, russia completely rejecting any suggestion of involvement. the interesting thing

here is when you look into the allegations against these people, it is clear that they believe that there is some false form of deep state operating within germany along the lines of the sorts of things that were heard from the united states of america. in the course of the last few years, this idea of a government within a government interestingly enough, different ministers from different parts of the german apparatus who said that that is completely not the case. they've debunked the whole idea that these people are suggesting. and one final thought, this idea there heis boerger as they refer them to themselves as they reject the whole ethos of modern democratic germany. they uses their flag the flag of the previous kaiser. that's the government that was in operation in germany from 1871 until the end of the 1st world war. they reject everything to do with the modern democracy parliament here in germany. and they are now of hughes. at least these

individuals are accused of trying to overthrow it. i had dominant cain in berlin, thank you. the china has announced its loosening its 0 covert policy. people who are asymptomatic or showing mild symptoms will be allowed to isolate at home. the government is also reducing mandatory testing requirements. the move comes after widespread protests against lock downs and messed testing. it is a major reversal and a country that's impose some of the toughest pandemic measures in the world. the been to her, she baez's sure there. the further deepening of the understanding of the virus and the disease, the reduction of the risk of the disease, you efficient supply of vaccines and medicine, and the improvement of emergency response and treatment capabilities are some of the required conditions or key elements for us to resume the living conditions before the outbreak happened, a china strategist, he says the 0 covered policy was not designed to ensure 0 carpet cases. it is

designed to implement as early as possible detection early as possible isolation, earliest possible. ready possible to mention it is possible killer. and in fact that that strategy had been relatively successful. compare with other countries, according to a recent independence survey conducted by new york based, well renowned a research institute called the element trust. so being all countries on the world in response to the government's ability to cope with the pandemic and it came up tops, but it's been 2 years and paid people's patients are very thin. and as president see, recently met, there was a thing european union president face to face in beijing said to him that he realized that there was

a lot of impatience on the part of the people. and he's responding to it. and also, another factor is the pandemic. now change to be more like and then make it even though more serious than approve it, even though it can be relatively more deadly than a fool. but it, in comparison with the early stages, is, is to, is change quite significantly enhanced. and this relaxations, chinese president shing thing has arrived in saudi arabia for a 3 day visit. he was invited by king solomon, who wants to deacon relations. china is the gulf nation's largest trading partner with goods, with $87300000000.00 exchanged last year. saudi arabia is china's biggest oil supplier. it's in nearly $44000000000.00 and crude. there in 2021. the oil market is expected to dominate the talks. it comes as a price cap on russian exports imposed by the g $70.00

u and destroyer takes effect of the gao is the vice president of the center for china and globalization. he's his president. she's visits will further strengthen economic ties between china and the gulf states. oil is a major factor in china, saudi arabia relations as well as with the state relations and for the whole arab world, energy corporation itself is a very important thing. now, from the chinese perspective, and your security is a key component, part of security for any country, especially for a country like china, china depends on imported oil up to more than 70 percent of the oil consume. so you can see china deals with all your security with utmost importance. therefore, for saudi arabia to be such a steady and reliable a long term supply are loyal to china is something very much appreciate it. now on

the other hand, china is also one of the largest supplier goods of all kinds, especially oil related goods, pipelines and all the other things. china is also very much committed to working on major connectivity projects with saudi arabia, with many are countries, for example, also assisting in the infrastructure project channel also provides a lot of service to these in a variety of sectors involved copy for me equally, if not more importantly, china and saudi arabia, gulf states, and our tundras treat with each other as equals and we share our commitment for a multi lateral world. and the us democrats have tightened their grip on the senate . after raphael, warnock defeated republican challenger, herschel walker in georgia. when ox victory in the runoff means democrats will have 51 seats. in the $100.00 the chamber,

the 2 candidates were separated by less than one percent of the vote and last month's mid term election. but for more, let's bring in our white house, correspondent kimberly helped kit and kimberly the democrats were widely tipped to get a bit of a hiding in these mid term. so is the thing is a big win for them and for joe biden. absolutely, yeah, you do remember the pulls heading into the congressional mid term elections in early november. looks like it was going to be a republican sweep of the house of representatives and the senate, but that was not the case at all. instead, what we saw was the vote counting that took quite a while and to run off election in georgia, now decided, and what we have is herschel walker defeated. he was the republican and raphael war knocked down, going to the senate for 6 years, the democrat. what this means is good news for president joe biden, looking ahead to 2024. but even before that come january,

the congressional map is really in favor of the democrats, because what you have is the house of representatives controlled by republicans, but just narrowly. and now there is a very clear majority for the 1st time at 2 years for the democrats in the upper chamber, the u. s. senate, because prior to that, it was really a 5050 split, and that meant that the vice president. com la harris anytime there it's hi, vote had to shuttle her way to capitol hill to break that vote. she will no longer be required to do that. so this is really good news for the democrats. they poured an enormous amount of money into this race to insure this victory. in fact, in just the last 4 weeks, some $80000000.00 was spent on t v. adverts alone, a lot of this money coming from outside showing just how important this was for democrats in terms of legislation though, not a lot is likely to be accomplished because you have the republicans controlling one

chamber, the democrats controlling the other and the white house still controlled by democrat, joe biden. but what this means is that joe biden can look ahead to some of the states like georgia, that typically war republican control states now leaning towards the democratic party and looking favourably in terms of his reelection. chances come 2 years from now. okay, thank you so much. this is kimberly hell kit. what house correspondent was still a hit on l. g here. jan. tina's fonts prison. christina de krishna. the sentenced to 6 years in prison, guilty of corruption, and a $1000000000.00 fraud. case, they would bend from high schools for more than a year. now if can go so being told they should take exams. ah, ah.
