this instinctively new slime from the good they found right activists attempt to stone germany's pollen and hundreds marched on the reichstag building here in both enjoying a protest against to run a virus restrictions police keep them from entering and arrest hundreds of others at the demonstration also coming up. trade unions battle the government in bella bruce we have a special report looking at how mine is on trying to organize a strike of the brutal post-election crackdown.

a math anyhow thanks for joining us we begin here in berlin where germany's interior minister has condemned 5 right protesters who tried to storm the german parliament building the group holding imperial german flags managed to reach the entrance of the reichstag before being forced back by police post see hoffa said the action was intolerable and showed the government needed to take robust action it happened alongside a demonstration that drew nearly 40000 people to protest germany's coronavirus restrictions hundreds 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. officers and

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 corona virus pandemic go too far i think. this personally i don't believe that there's a pandemic i do think the disease exists but not a pandemic kind of that the lead there should move on from that and according to the new definition of a pandemic it's a pandemic. with a gun from the front guy but that has to do with how much it's spread and not with how dangerous it is but they always cause it through authorities demanded protesters and here to mask and social distancing requirements during the demonstrations requirements many participants flouted a predictable development says berlin's interior senator nelson in front of the.

from me and i certainly would have liked to avoid scenes like this because berlin police predicted that today would turn out like this. where thousands of people not respecting distancing rules that's not true despite the u.s. thousands continued their march a clear sign that their anger is here to stay yes. for more i'm joined by our political correspondent. welcome has been falling apart as far as these pitches what incredible how significant is the protest as much beyond police brought up to the doors of the russia well those images are highly symbolic highly where. also for the german population because as interior minister jose ofer say the high stag building and i quote is this seed of all pollen and then this symbolic center of our free democracy he says say's it is intolerable that's why it says next time is abuse it for dayroom purposes he goes further when he talks about the police forces

he say i thank the police for preventing that so quickly and decisively the states must show 0 tolerance and take action against such people so very strong words from in terror minister jose o. far and not only also hike a massive foreign minister to stand after yesterday's events which so german imperial flags being shown being flagged at the parliament he say to that everyone has the right to argue about the handing of the current virus pandemic but also that imperio flag in front of the parliament were shameful so symbolic that protestants managed to go to the front of the parliament also there were a lot of police officers yesterday to cover the protests to have a doctor august 2005 but just in front of the parliament there was that floating moment where protesters managed to get onto this sets of the german parliament's 3000 police offices 30000 demonstrators is that number now significant enough to

dismiss this notion that it's just right wing extremists and conspiracy theory is not just right wing extremists or conspiracists there were also and to faxes people read about how the government is heading to pandemic but we just cannot this news that there were far right extend his protests you just have to look at how many german imperial flags were shown how many white supremacist flags were shown so flags showing support to done outram there were also russian flags being used so. there's not only current i skeptics there's also people here to destruct. they were a quite vocal they were quite busy go behind them chanting for example we had to people think that sparked these as something they've taken from protests in the eighty's against the ethan german regime we also saw some protestant as a way of being a yellow star a star of david's they were by likening the german government actually government

to denounce the regime to a world war 2 so all of those very wearing symbols out the recuperated by people who are not the majority of protestants but walk in those protests and everyone is marching along political correspondent thank you very much. ok here's a look at some of the other major developments in the corona virus pandemic now. brazil is so past 120000 deaths from the virus 2nd only to the united states experts say the country still isn't past its peak south korea is putting restrictions on restaurant dining and also closing gyms and off to school academies in the right to seoul area amid a surge in cases and in india a record $79000.00 new infections were registered in the last 24 hours the government is still planning to reopen the transport networks and allowing religious and sports events to take place again from next month. now to some of the other stories making news around the world. police in portland oregon have opened

. this regime is inhuman and has already committed crimes against humanity it needs to go as a signature because of his spent all his working life in these mines and now he's trying to bring them to a standstill with a full scale strike so far the results have been so very only a few dozen miners have joined in the others he says a just too scared and not without good reason all the strike is set to lose their jobs and most likely the company hopes we try to ask the workers clocking off and their shifts where they make it all no one is willing to talk the company has given strict instructions to keep quiet it's early evening the queue snakes once across the city square a queue to sign a petition to recall local deputies something almost no one believes will actually happen but a chance for people to make themselves heard. of it is like i said i wanted to get at the i don't agree with our president's politics. i've had enough of seeing his

face it's been 26 years if you don't if you're sure shall not that he's. written election and now he won't go to. the jewish with me how was the people who are empowered right now you i want them to work for ordinary people at least show i didn't want the politicians to just serve one person i knew she had naturally like it which is good at it or to slowly step by step we need to take the system apart. duck and yes yes i am a student. that i'm universities position is clear if it catches one of these protests or if you're charged even if someone just recognizes you had one of these protests to throw you out immediately. just. would filming him waiting in line to sign a petition be enough to get him in trouble with his university would should we stop filming. he told us he'd had enough of being afraid to phrase you hear time and

inside a few face masks a little sign of social distancing. in iran's capital tehran people seem to be more careful but perhaps restriction is the wrong word i think it's better to call it a change in our morning style. many prefer to stay away from the crowds completely and mark the day at home. but others gathered for the ritual mourning of the prophet muhammad's grandson him and his saying the ceremony vital one in the shia calendar is different in detail this year but remained fundamentally the same. you're watching news from berlin there's a lot more news on our website think of the dot com you can also follow us on twitter and instagram the handle there is think of the news or documentary series
