and some of them are on these high poles. so making it very difficult for police said to get to them, but they are now dragging them out one by one. their police has ordered them repeatedly to day to leave the village peacefully. and a quite a group has done that so far. but if you look over here where the remains of the village are still standing, 2 houses see yeah, no they, they are still dead. the most radical people are still there. they are holding up in the hall houses or fire inside of buildings, and they're also in tree house is very high up 10 to 20 meters high up. so police has called is a very complicated and also very dangerous operation. and as you can see in already by this has been building up of quite tensely for the last couple of days. oh, there's no justice. they shout the arms locked climate activists from across europe gathered in the small village of litter at determined to prevent the neighboring coal mine from expanding. with all legal means exhausted,

police start removing activists from blocking the wrote, the initial operation to clear access to the site begins relatively peaceful, but has brought you to little ham there wherever she cries us, we have global warming, so think it's worth ah, but then police start to move forward more forcefully. the move turns grim with police an activist now clashing there's a real fight now between the activism nepalese here at the village of litter, lisa trying to push forward toward the village a bit. but now active is a really trying to push them away and you can see it in the real scuffle going on here behind me, work is from the energy company r w e, who operate the gas while i open cast mine immediately start to clear the

barricades the climate ministry did not want to speak on camera, a spokesman explained that more coal is needed to ensure security of supply. but the government will face out cold completely in 8 years from now. this can't go any further. we know that we don't need the coal under. let's allows for energy safety and it needs to stay in the ground for climate justice. police are calling and reinforcements from all over germany for the main eviction operation. one day described as complex and dangerous from a bomb, or they have 3 houses of 10 meters high and even higher, we need special is to remove this occupies without endangered. any one will find legally and consequently prosecute any offender. and we have been ordered to clear this location and we shall do the map. the police say they will aim to avoid using violence, but only if the activists remain peaceful. protests have build a system of observation posts around the site. i'm afraid i'm scared all the time

a little bit some some sometimes more on time class when the cups are coming. i'm super scared of and i know how they act and holiday for people to do what they want . police say the main operation to clear the protest camp itself is expected to take several weeks step is that the demolition of this village was always planned or is there any now come into play because of the russian invasion of ukraine and the ongoing energy crisis? well, the demolition of the village has long been a source of a legal battle. so it was planned initially because the r w e energy company who has own owens this mine here want to expand a more than dozens of villages have already been destroyed over the last decades because of the mine. but they were like 5 to 6 still standing, and they have been making legal battles for quite a long time to be able to survive. now with the war in ukraine. the 5 other

villages have now been saved, but this one looks at us has still to be demolished according to the government because of the lack of energy supply. so this village has now become to the heart of an international climate protests. so, protests as activists from all over europe, i am still here. they're holding up here in this are in these houses still, and police expects that this operation could last at least a couple of weeks. right. and as, as you speak here, people are being dragged away. one by one step will come back with you as the day progresses. the thanks. in the meantime, rebels in ethiopia, northern to grow region had begun and in their heavy weapons to the federal army. it's part of a p still signed in south africa, more than 2 months ago to end a 2 year conflict. the terms of that agreement include disarming the rebels, restoring federal authority to grow and reopening humanitarian access in the region

say widows expression of regrets, like other entities in leaders before him does not go far enough. widow promised to his government would seek to restore the rights of victims. the none be good and young to me with a clear mind and a sincere heart. i as the leader of this country, admit that gross human rights violations have happened and several incidents. we diane, when out of deep sympathy and empathy for the victims in their families. therefore firstly the government and i are trying to rehabilitate the victim's rights fairly and wisely without neglecting efforts towards judicial resolution. all right, we're going to take this on now. we can speak to veronica coleman, who's in indian q in denise, and i should say human rights laura, amnesty international in australia joins us now from sidney. veronica, so regrets expressed that there is no apology. what's your reaction to that? you just like most humorous, i forget that i know we are,

we can respect the progress being made. we acknowledge that, but we are also deeply disappointed because president, oh, we did not line any rock match whatsoever. what's just this? there's no room mention of reparation. there's no mention of many of the perpetrators of those cases that threatening to acknowledge are actually part of don't always administration the leaders of this country. and so, so what does it say like, like is it just an acknowledgment? so we, that's why we are not satisfied with that. ok, he did say that the government was trying to rehabilitate the rights of victims without he said, negating the judicial resolution though he didn't say he didn't specify how that would be achieved. what do you think he means by exactly. so there's actually just

a last month, a trial off a ledge. gross humorous violation was concluded. it's. it was a case in west palm was at the trials to log was rejected by families of victims. and in the end, the sold perpetrator was sentenced to not guilty. so if the judicial process that rested in got for you was referring to are similar to that long as it's comp pontiac case. then, then we are hopeless. it means that it's just an amd acknowledgment, and it's just a formality because wrestling, dubois, ending his or his a presidency. and, but this is just a big box. but yeah, we are hoping that this is hopefully, this is a step because acknowledgement itself is a form of justice. but it's not enough yet. right? you're not to miss you live in excel because you face your own charges, veronica,

what do you think about how it will go for people like you know and to what degree do you think that that human rights in indonesia will improve? unfortunately, humorous violations are still happening regularly, especially when we talk about less bob one i mean excel because of my focus people were spot one and i'm also from the chinese epic minority background, which are one of the most notorious case was recognized by the president. don't call we as one of the gross humorous violation. so there's like a, there's no i what is it called like the there's no change of attitude like the military operation still happening in west, by what there's no withdrawal of troops. and it miss more troops means more how

much violations will take place in west war. so we have not seen any change of attitude yet. finally, veronica is listening to say the least and litany of murderers of abductions of disappearances over many, many decades. how much and curious to know how much resentments from this pervades life in indonesia, some did as you say, happened in the recent past. yes. so are for tiny ethnic minority be people like me. we have in the generation intergenerational trauma but we are, we are usually not. we are being silent and also for west one for example is still very, very much ongoing. their huge gap of this trust. busy for the the government because they are humanities being subjugated by the continuous humorist violations, and a denial of their right to separate the nation. everyone come and appreciate that
