a ton bug has joined them. please have been evicting demonstrators since whiten state police say around 470 protesters have been removed from the site and dozens will be the arrested service. since joining us live from the protest camp act lot started step. there was a point to which the numbers of the protesters looked like it might be dropping, but it seems now the crowds are growing again. well, absolutely. i, the situation is now that the village of literature, which is somewhere behind me, it's nearly fully controlled now by police and by the energy company r w e. there's only a few activist still left there are among them are at least 2 people according to police, still hiding in a tunnel. as far as we know. now the energy companies trying with workers to get to this tunnel and try to get to them and is also still some people up in the trees. but most of the people have been removed. we've witnessed this process in the last

couple of days, but what's happening today is that a will be a large rally with people coming from all over the country, from germany, from all kinds of regions. and we've seen a lot of them already on the road. and they will gather here at this location, outside of literature, but on the corner of this huge lick nights, a co brown coal mine, which of course, is at the center of these protests. and i'm joined here by one of the protesters who will rally today. it's christoph allow months from the group. i'll a door for blind. all villages should remain, but it seems the battle val, it's are right. it's now lost. i wouldn't say so because as you say, there are people still holding out in the village. and this protest today is going to be so huge it's, it's going to be delayed because people like the motor way is blocked because so many people are coming. people are walking along the most way as i speak, the trains of skipping stations because they're full to the brim. and with that, i think we haven't lost yet. and if but neutral is destroyed in the end. it's not

us who lose, it's all of us as society. but i think with the process in these last 2 weeks, we've shown that actually we're winning because the government is alone on this. all the scientific community has come and is speaking out for us. celebrities have come, that's been turned situations and many cities people are coming from all over europe to this day to day. and so actually, i'm pretty kathy with what we achieved. but despite the ongoing protest of government and also the green party was part of the grub, government has not changed its mind at the green minister was responsible for the expansion of the mind sass. it's a painful compromise which we have to do because of the war in ukraine and the energy crisis. he says it's just a temporarily temporary tampering solution, but we will face out call at the end. yes, it does say that the thing is, the quantity of coal is war is an important. it doesn't matter when we phase out.
