conflict itself, a humanitarian crisis. tens of thousands, flee to sudan. the government's fight with the defiance to cry reach. thanks for joining us. it was one of the biggest in a decades now a possible breakthrough. in the case of the break, in green vol, one of germany's most famous museums, police flooded the district of massive early morning raid in connection with the 3 suspects arrested in the raid or due to appear in court later on suspicion of organized robbery, an arson. last november, thieves broke into the dresden museum and stole jewelry estimated to be worth around $1000000000.00. more of these latest developments.

chief political correspondent, linda crime, linda. what else do we know about the raid? well, in fact, more than 1600 police officers took part in this massive raid from the states beyond berlin, from 6 other federal states as well. and apparently they searched at least 18 properties that ranged from apartments to sell or is 2 car garages. many of these were in the neighborhood that's known as noisy code here in berlin. and that neighborhood is known for organized criminal gangs. there is no confirmation yet that the 3 people who were arrested were in fact members of organized criminal gangs. but some german media are reporting that there are indications that will prove to be the case. and as you said, the 3 who were arrested are being charged with theft and with arson. arson. because

at the time of the robbery, an electricity, a box that, that conveys electric wires was in fact cut, causing a fire. and the suspects will be arraigned later on this afternoon. and we're also expecting to hear more from authorities, melinda crime. thank you for the updates for more on the background of this story, as france called roxboro from osten, called departments called that that theft was spectacular. what more can you tell us about it? yeah, i know it was kind of, i mean it's the biggest jewelry robbery in germany, in the federal republic of germany. it happened early in the morning, almost exactly a year ago in dresden. and what the thieves did was initially they set a fire at an electricity electricity junction box to cut power to the area. so the streets were dark, and then they went to a 1st floor window at the museum, tore off the the bars that where they are smashed their way through. the glass went

straight to a display case. display case, smash their way through there with an axe, grabbed the jewels and took off the police, were there very quickly, there was an alarm sound of the police were there within 5 or 6 minutes, but they were already gone. and the getaway car that they used was found burnt out a short time later. and we already that is the jury that was stolen was intensely precious. what else can you tell us about this tour? the pieces that were actually stolen? yeah, i mean, the whole collection in the green of all this is a unique within the journey really unique in the world is the collection of the strong 18th century ruler of saxony. it could be maybe compared to the crown jewels of london. it's this incredibly unique set of pieces. the pieces that were sold included, incrusted, swords, broaches, and so forth. they some put the value of a 1000000000 euros or more, but really, there are, there are priceless. i mean, this is a unique piece of, of german and saxon cultural history. but this is not the 1st in

a german museum, half museums become soft targets for, for criminals. yeah, i think i think you can really say that, i mean, just a couple of years ago, 2017, we had a similar very spectacular robbery here in germany. in the botha museum where a huge gold coin worth about 4 new york was also was also taken in a very dramatic robbery. and, and these are, you know, ocean's 11 complicated geniuses that are pulling these off. these are smash and grab operations. they're just rushing in, grabbing what they can and taking and going out. and i think i think criminals are looking at german using very soft targets, incredibly valuable material in these museums that's protected by really low end security that they find very easy to break through. but i don't really know what museums can do about it, because museums are public spaces. people need to have access to the culture. i'm not sure how you can turn public spaces into properly secure areas unless you want

to turn them into bank vaults. and i don't think anybody wants that will any of this jury markets, black markets? what are the chances of getting it back? i think almost almost nil. i mean the right after robbery experts said, these pieces are so well known internationally that it be impossible to sell them even on a black market, impossible sell them. and they assume that the criminals brought them down and then sold off the jewelry, the valuable metal, similar to the gold coin that was stolen. they actually have found the people who did that they're now serving jail time, but the coin itself was not recovered. they assume, please assume it was, it was broken down, melted down for it's gold, and sold off. thank you very much for some close to the problem. time to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. right? police in the thai capital, bangkok have fired water cannons as protesters trying to get through a razor wire barrier outside parliament,

protesters wearing helmets and masked responded with smoke bombs, demanding with the constitution and the monarchy. in the peruvian capital, lima are calling for former interim president. manual merino to face charges over the deaths of 2 anti-government demonstrators. centrist lawmaker, francisco sagacity was named to succeed marino. after he resigned sunday, to becomes the on the nation's 3rd president, and only one week of political turmoil. hurricane iota made landfall in north eastern nicaragua as a potentially catastrophic category. 5 storm hurricane came ashore with winds of over 260 kilometers per hour. forcing thousands of people to flee. the region is still reeling from hurricane rita, which killed dozens of people. this month's austrians, schools and businesses are closed from today as the country returns to

a nationwide lockdown. amid surging coronavirus numbers, the measures will remain in place at least until december 6. austrian hospitals are said to be nearing capacity as it struggles with a 2nd wave of pandemic. us president elect joe biden has warned of fatal consequences to americans over delays in the presidential transition process by the ministration to allow his team to coordinate on pandemic response plans. president trump has so far declined to begin a formal handover process focusing instead on disputing his election loss is what biden had to say during a speech in the web. more people, you know, coordinate axes and port solution to your vaccinated. so how do we get the vaccine? how do we get over 300000000, americans who actually watched the game plan?

it's a huge, huge, huge undertaking to get it done. try those greatest in need and working our way through it and also cooperate with the world health organization and the rest of the world in dealing with this. if we have to wait until january 20th to start that plan, it puts this behind, over a month, month and a half. and so it's important it be done at the be coordination now now or is rapidly as we get that done. us president elect joe biden, speaking them, and his scientific advisors are planning to meet with drug makers to map out a nationwide vaccination plan without assistance from the trump ministration. because the situation is getting increasingly serious. the u.s. is seeing its biggest spike in corona, virus infections. and this since the start of the pandemic, flu cases have more than doubled in the past month. the latest hot spots are central states, such as north and south dakota, iowa, wyoming, and wisconsin. they're all reporting, record numbers of hospitalizations,

in terms of new cases. the highest numbers are the populous states. those include illinois, california, georgia, and michigan, with more than a 1000000 total cases and over $20000.00 deaths, texas continues to be one of the west. it's w.'s carolina chima went to el paso, where hospital managers say their facilities are close to being overwhelmed at basle is on the border with mexico, but no one is talking about the wall anymore. the pandemic is raging. numbers are soaring. right now. we have about 241 in-patient, coburg, 19 cases. now to contrast with about 45 days ago, we only have 30. but a lot of those people that you see going into these tents behind me. they will wind up inside our hospital, have authorities are already arranging to move patients to other cities. if the

hospitals become overwhelmed, planning for months of strain, there is going to be a long period yet before a vaccine is here. so we have to make sure that we are ready for this winter, not only here in el paso, but also around the country. resources are finite. there is already a backlog in dealing with the dead refuge generated more outside. the hospitals serve as makeshift more to our east. funeral homes in el paso are so overwhelmed that families sometimes have to wait a week to bury a loft. one funeral director sam, selves are struggling to cope earlier. this race is we're live on the level of stress is very high because it is not comparable to how it used to be some months ago we had around 30 services for months. right now we're having around 80 beaches where this 2nd wave of the pandemic is not only hitting record numbers of people, many of whom could die. loco lockdowns,

in that bacile to try and curb the spread are wreaking havoc, a businesses here in el paso. there's a 10 pm curfew, but even during the day, many people stay at home. this is where the economic effects of the pandemic and most clearly be seen downtown el paso seems abandoned. also this restaurant wasn't able to keep most of its south. now the owner has to attend the few clients himself . the current situation had a clear impact on his political decision. he voted for joe biden, so you can put it that i knew he could do better than donald trump if. and i think we all hope the same, we hope for a different government that supports us focus or some money. it all works just around the corner for him, the presidential race is not over yet. no, i think president biden is not going to be the president of winter. it's going to be donald trump. he feared his business might be hit by the pandemic. but now he

has orders until july next year. republicans, he says, are good for the construction sector. despite his support for trump, he has his own opinion on covert 1000, specially after he tested positive. everyone is going to get the virus and we're going to fill up the hospitals. testing is one of the crucial instruments to avoid to this problem. we get cordie mates 10 testing centers. in the past. he works for a private company that is being paid by the state of texas. but his main concern in the pandemic is not political. i don't have fully knowledge of what joe biden is planning to do in his administration, but until now we haven't had any kind of difficulties with the current administration. i don't think it's a matter of resources. the main concern is how to communicate to the people. what to do or not look at trump supporters biden supporters to different sites that seem to come together in el paso,

in fear of the coronavirus. and here's a quick look at some of the other developments in the pandemic. south korea has announced it will tighten social distancing rules from thursday in the greater solar area and parts of gone one province. amid a resurgence of infections, sweden is limiting public gatherings to 8 people following a surge in new cases. unlike most countries, sweden has avoided lockdowns relying on voluntary measures and from thursday, new zealanders will have to wear masks on public transport in oakland and on planes nationwide. this follows several small our breaks in oakland. you're watching c.w. news still to come breaks it threatens to stop a centuries old traditions that could lead to overfishing in european waters and ruined future prospects for the industry. but 1st to ethiopia, where prime minister ahmed has announced a quote,

final military operation against the defiant to gripe province. in coming days. the federal government has carried out what it calls surgical air strikes on the tick right capital of mckayla and has denied reports of casualties. if european leaders have so far resisted international pressure for mediation with the rebel forces, but fallout from the 2 week conflict has the potential to destabilize the entire region and has already kicked off the humanitarian crisis. these are the weary faces of a conflict that is spilling out beyond ethiopia's borders. aid groups say 25000 people have no fled to sedan since fighting broke out. half of them are children. some may not see their fathers or husbands again. well i think you got a year later, we came with the clothes on our back. i don't know where my husband as i've been looking for him for 5 days. i don't know where he has now had to has the land and

they didn't have it done and i came, i don't know what happened. there was heavy fighting and many people died after that they told us to leave. so we fled. everyone did you know how good and i was ethiopia's government says it's fighting with rebel groups in the rebellious region . leash state, t.v. pictures, claim to show its forces liberating towns, but hundreds are reported to have been killed. officials in the capital have resisted calls for external mediation, or we don't need any mediation until we bring their existing leaders to court, because any mediation would incentivize impunity, and really missed teague right, t.v. appear to show captured eritrean troops with him. rebel forces have also been fighting. ethiopia says some of its soldiers have also been taken prisoner, capturing our soldiers,

our commanders generals. we don't know where they are. truly speaking, we don't know. our commanders. in the jail. we don't know maybe that what they're like. ethiopia's prime minister has promised a final military operation in the coming days and said he's ready to reintegrate the swelling numbers of refugees. now trying to survive on the banks of the take the river in sudan for some background on this story, i'm joined from london by ahmed soliman. he's a researcher with the africa program at the chatham house, a think tank. if you o.p.'s prime minister issued a deadline for to grow his militia to surrender. he says that has just expired. so can we expect to happen now? well, it's difficult to know where this conflict is going, situation at all, being very rapidly of course and intensified military action throughout sic ryan

west and we're seeing, you know, the numbers of reports of casualties rising into the hundreds. if not more. what we have also is ground fighting, taking place and troops advancing on to the regional, kept home mechanic. so the prime minister risk largely controlled the narrative around developments is asserted that this military action will be swift. but many people think that this could become a much more entrenched and,, or track the conflict one, which turns will be to p.l.f., becoming an insurgency movement in a very difficult terrain, mountainous and rugged region. so there is, there isn't really, i guess, an understanding of whether this operation which is being taken is one which is to submit t.p.a. left so that they eventually come to negotiate. a settlement in

a very weakened ization or one which is following the stated aims, which is to remove the pin that ministration from to try and prevent and, and replace them with a proper provisional administrator. we have said that prime minister to leadership was a dramatic change. the flip, the power dynamics on its head is he was going to destabilize the whole region. yes, i think that there are wider regional implications and a possibility of protected conflict we're already seeing could could have really terrible effects for the broader whole of africa region for east africa . an area which has seen secure conflict over many decades. and which we just, i think, and as well, the emergence of, obviously the same beginning to look towards increasing integration and stability

as your report shows and unbar. if i had reports of eritrean fights as being both in, alongside the federal government forces. what we do know and has been admitted, is that t.p.m. that have said that they have targeted eritrean capital as well as border positions with messaoud. we also know that sudan as well, the neighboring country has its own very delicate transition with a civilian civilian military administration. and the influx of tens of thousands reported by the u.n.h.c.r. up to 25000. as your report puts it, increasing every day. tensions are hundreds of thousands of civilians fleeing the conflict in sudan could have a, an impact on a region which has its own into communities and chins and which has been experiencing its own travel troubles which could have

a broader impact on the sudanese transition. and a brief, brief answer please. do you see any solution to this? any prospects for international mediation, perhaps and who could do that? i think the timing is right. ad needs to be right for mediation at the moment. the federal government has said that it is not open so that if the conflict becomes well asked if it becomes much more protected and then the losses are felt on both sides. there could be an opening and traction for negotiated settlement and then breaking a truce to this conflict. i think the international community needs to continue its showing messaging to deescalate, to bring true center and allow humanitarian access. and they also need to come to the mediating teams, wouldn't be where that would be mandated through the united nations african statesman in charge such as the a you chair, ceramic and the gad chair prime minister,

abdullah armed. so i think that the only way forward for it really is through inclusive dialogue and through coming through a negotiated settlement in london. thank you for this. under the sea fish. no, no borders and that won't change with briggs it. so how much leeway will you fishing boats have to follow that catch next year? the u.k. wants full control over its territorial waters, but hard boundaries could bankrupt. french fisherman matters and bubble of is a report now from a seaside village in france, where breaks it has residents bracing for choppy waters. fresh fish from the english channel. go unload his latest catch and belong your snowman. his sons about still has been pitching in since he was a teenager. the tiger 3 is a family fishing business in its 3rd generation course grandfather cycle who began

fishing in u.k. waters. and i don't know that i'm the owner and i'm wishing for my son to take over, but not if i built this for him. we've been working here for 47 ira's and in the end it's all for him. but it turns out the way they expect it will become complicated because there are already too many boats fishing in the channel . for long years home to france's biggest fishing port, french fishermen catch more than $200000000.00 euros worth of fish in british waters each year. 10 times more than the u.k. side pulls out of the waters. the french would like to keep bringing home red mullet like these, caught on the u.k. side of the channel despite breck's it. everything will grind to a halt here, but maybe we can still salvage something. i don't think it will be

a death sentence for coming, but it would be a catastrophe for our lives. for everyone here. there are no walls in the sea fisherman, like all if you had to stress many species are born in french waters and moved to bridger seas. once they've matured for centuries, the 2 countries have been sharing their fish and their waters hard to imagine that this could suddenly come to an end. the separation line in the channel runs right here. if there is no deal, the french fishing boats and the european fishing boats will lose this entire zone . and we will all meet in this small area of the dutch and the french. so we will then systematically over fish. and this will quickly lead to bankruptcy. that

also holds true for bigger boats the captain or is unloading pollack called off the coast of scotland. some of these fish will be sold back to the u.k. . meanwhile, british fisherman sell around 70 percent of their catch to the europeans. it's a matter of taste. what they don't like, they sell to the french who are crazy about u.k. courts, see spider place and dover sole offical shows. we trust on both sides and we have to save jobs and find a solution. so we can both survive. most of all, if they have the fish, we have the markets, we have the internal markets with a few 100000000 consumers. should we put all this into question to all we've managed to work together for decades and decades. this is new, that is 70 $5000.00 jobs

depend on the fishing industry. if there is no breaks in free trade deal, the town's future is at stake and small operations like john would be fighting for survival. after a quick break in the harbor, he's heading back out into the channel. u.k. waters are only 40 minutes away, but politically, britain and the e.u. remain oceans the pot. astronauts flying with aerospace from space x. have safely docked at the international space station. after a fully automated dragon capsule carried 3 crew members from nasa and one from japan space agency. the space x. flight marks the 1st time the company has delivered a crew for a full 6 months here. and if you're watching the news, here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you. german police have arrested 3 suspects. connected to the notorious green voles, jewels left, broken to address
