stay safe safe please stay safe. out of the fact that. this is they don't believe news live from the activist attempt to storm germany's pollen and 100 spots on the rocks start building here and building during a protest against coronavirus restrictions police keep them from injuring and arrest hundreds of others that the demonstrations also coming up. trade unions battle the government in bell averse we have a special report looking at how mine is trying to organize

a strike of the brutal post-election crackdown. a method how it thanks for joining us we begin here in but it happened alongside a demonstration that drew nearly 40000 people to protest germany's coronavirus restrictions hundreds of people were arrested. they came by the thousands to demand germany's government change its course in the corona crisis. but for many the demonstrations in the heart of berlin ended in arrest. police say they were forced to make the detentions after far right activists who marched alongside coronavirus skeptics clashed with police. as a small group even managed to storm the steps of the german parliament before being detained. saturday's demonstrations attracted

a wide coalition of activists from right wing radicals to those who reject the authority of the german government or doubt the severity or even existence of the pandemic they were unified by one belief the government's measures to tackle the coronavirus pandemic go too far no personally i don't believe that there's a pandemic i do think the disease exists but not a pandemic kind of that's the lead definitely on from and according to the new definition of a pandemic it's a pandemic. was the can from the fall guy but that has to do with how much it spread and not with how dangerous it is you know these cuts it through authorities demanded protesters adhere to mask and social distancing requirements during the demonstrations requirements many participants flouted a predictable development says berlin's interior senator nelson infallibility of these. for me and i certainly would have liked to avoid scenes like this because berlin police predicted that today would turn out like this you're going to. have people not respecting distancing rules and that's not true but despite the u.s.

thousands continued their march a clear sign that their anger is here to stay yes. 2 well for more i'm joined by our political correspondent emmanuel chavez has been following the demonstrations for us the pictures not quite incredible what's the significance of demonstrators being able to march beyond police to the doors of the russian well what we know is that 3000. police offices where were in bed in yesterday to try and handle these protests so indeed those pictures of the being assaulted the parliament being being assaulted were very striking indeed interior minister jose or for you mentioned him say that a high state building is the seat of all parliament and it is a symbolic center of our free democracy that goes on to show just how symbolic it is that a rioters extremists would actually try to storm into it and jose office saved this

statement shows 0 tolerance i quote and take care of his action against people like these we also had a very strong reaction from foreign minister hike a mass who say that imperial flags being shown in front of the parliament are shameful that shows you just how important it is how symbolic it is for germany and how shocking it is that rioters would storm into their parliament authorities come and some 1000 demonstrators is that number now significant enough that we can dismiss the notion that these people are just far right extremist and conspiracy theorists they're not just far right extremists but of course what you see the most the images and the flags and during the protests of course you had anti faxes you had people who are concerned about how the and then it is being handled by the government that's what unite unites them they don't like how to a government handles these pandemic however when we see for example of the use of the imperial flag the use of neo nazi flags of white supremacist flags but also the

use of slogans such as we are the people that was chanting chanted yesterday we are the people that say that is the that was used to be in the east and germany that was used as a rallying cry against the east and german regime we also saw some protestant having a yellow star star of david they were in that likening the current german government to the nazi regime dream world war 2 so all. reappropriate and of symbols of german history are quite worrying and those are the ones that even if most people are just worried about how the pandemic is being handled those growing signs are the ones that we remember and do we have a sense yet emerged what comes next will we be seeing more of these protests well they run the 1st product then the $71.00 to the last because indeed there was so many people industries yes today the. protestants have all the reasons to feel emboldened by god now what's going to be interesting to see is will be the

government's response to dr jose oh for and the interior minister and a fine and so say they were expecting a strong over response so what we're looking for now will be the steps being taken by the government to prevent a riot for example to storm in front of the parliament legal correspondent and i know shots thank you so much thank you. and time now to take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. police in portland oregon have opened a homicide investigation after a protester was. the victim was shot dead as supporters of president donald trump clashed with black lives matter demonstrators unrest is still gripping several cities following the police shooting of jacob liked and was constantly his family have called for peace. israeli police have dragged away anti-government protesters from a square in central jerusalem thousands of people across israel demonstrated for the 11th straight weekend against prime minister benjamin netanyahu protesters
