said the action was intolerable and showed the government needed the type robust action it happened alongside a demonstration that drew nearly 40000 people to protest germany's coronavirus restrictions hundreds of whom were arrested. for 2 hours they waited flouting social distancing rules seated on the pavement. and then before it began the demonstration was over. through the course of the morning thousands had packed into the boulevards from the landmark brandenburg gate into the city center their reasons for coming deferred. there is only be peace if we work together thanks everyone for coming. being here i'm here because as a teacher i'm suffering tremendously under the restrictions it's unbearable to see the children forced to wear a mask suffering in school they receive divide the truth is that they are using the coronavirus and the vaccination that threatens to be made mandatory to enslave us
11:03 am
if you are different than the restrictions are disproportionate to the level of threat posed by the virus. police said protracted talks with the organizers failed and ordered a halt to the rally. because demonstrators many of whom doubt the pandemics severity were ignoring court ordered safety requirements like maintaining social distancing and wearing masks. i know how it was impossible to enforce the regulations police try to get people to wear a nose and mouth cover and even handed out masks to those willing to wear one but that wasn't sufficient to ensure adequate compliance. i never had that and. police estimates put attendance of 38000 most people touting themselves as independent thinkers but there were also right wing extremist groups and a dozen lawmakers from the far right party making little apparent effort to keep separate from right wing radicals become even distance myself from small fringe
11:04 am
groups by not taking part if i share the beliefs of the vast majority of people here. but experts say the infiltration of such protest by extremist groups poses a real threat. so you feel it's perfectly all of germany's right wing populist and far right extremist groups called on supporters to attend and that is the problem undermining the entire demonstration. case in point violence unleashed by members of the far right groups and a movement that rejects the legitimacy of the german government. were pelted with stones and bottles. we currently have 7 injured officers and have detained around $200.00 protesters. a day that showed the complex nature and explosive potential of opposition to coronavirus regulations in germany. for more on this i'm joined by our political correspondent amount of shots has been following the protests force
11:05 am
these pitches and quite incredible how significant is it that demonstrators arrival to get 1st past police and then all the way to the doors of the rock star building well that's pretty significant indeed and of those pictures are indeed very striking very shocking for the german population and i think worldwide interior minister jose off reacted to that he said that the highest i've been seeing is a seed of apology meant in this symbolic center of all free democracies he also say that he was intolerable that's why it has an exchange of views it's for their own purposes he also went on to the police officers conduct yesterday he said i thank the police for preventing that so quickly and decisively and the state must so 0 tolerance and take robbers action against such people so quite a strong stance by interior minister horst as they are however when he addresses the police's reaction we can see in the images from yesterday's assault attempted assault on the podium and that even if the 3000 police officers were in beldin were
11:06 am
deployed yesterday also coming from other jemma regions where the police seem to be over when for a moment before they could prevent activists and rioters to enter the pa. him and the police spokesperson also say that the police simply couldn't be everywhere at the same time also a strong reaction by foreigners their high command to say everyone has the right to disagree a block or an iris measures and to demonstrate but no one and he stressed that in capital letters on his twitter account should be marching behind the right wing extremists putting police officers indenture and exposing others to the risk of infection so this is quite an event here in general yes rioters might try to enter the parliament incredible some of the takeaways but the number 38000 demonstrators is that number now 2 significant to dismiss this notion that they are only far right wing fringe groups or anti vaccines they're not on
11:07 am
a far right groups there's a social and nice group of people we've seen in the report people who are worried about the consequences of the measures being taken by the government attack of the pandemic that they're worried about the impact it can have on their lives on their jobs they're worried that it might impact on their freedoms but this thing is that what we see the most are the most vocal the most visible protestant as those who are waving german imperial flags for example those who are away being pro trumbull pro putin banners we were talking in the report about the number of arrests around $300.00 in total including $200.00 that took place in front of the russian embassy where $3000.00 protesters right wing protestant has continued on even after the protest the official protests was disbanded so a group that is not only composed by far rights protesters that's the minority but a very visible and a very vocal minority political correspondent among all shows thank you so much.
