our documentary slavery routes starts march 10th on w. . this instead of your news a live one from berlin germany enters a new phase out the coronavirus pandemic chance i'm going marco says the country's lockdown will be extended for another 3 weeks but she also announcer steps toward a gradual reopening also coming on the show security on high alert outside the u.s. capitol in washington a once again this after police received

a tip off that english a group could be plotting and another attempt to try to reach the felting. and the death toll from protests in myanmar rises as the military steps up its crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators. hello i'm claire richardson welcome to the show the leaders of germany's 16 federal states and chancellor angela merkel have agreed to extend the country's coronavirus lockdown measures i'm told the 28th of march americal said a number of measures would soon be relaxed if infection rates allow in outspent comes after talks with regional leaders stretched into the night after the state premiers reported they disagreed on a number of details. of some of what chancellor merkel said after the negotiations

wrapped up. then 15 you know i don't mind we're at the threshold of a new phase of the pandemic in annoying thoughts they're going to mean it's a phase which we can't go into carelessly but i think it's important to say with justified hope because the government but if the. game can. be good think it's our job now to make sure that the next steps we take are smart ones the steps should allow us to open up a bit more but at the same time they shouldn't set us back months in this pandemic . flu i'm now joined by our chief political editor michelle. tell us if you can do more about what marco and state leaders have decided. well they forced a compromise on what is or has been in the past more of a scientific issue so far over the past year german chancellor angela merkel and her 16 state premiers to rising infection numbers with deeper and longer

lockdowns now we are seeing numbers potentially rise into a 3rd wave again and at the same time public pressure mounted forcing the government to announce some kind of perspective on this crisis and that is now leading to concrete openings beginning from the 8th of march that means that more than just a household and one extra person can meet 2 households can in future meet again children below 14 won't count into that and now we're seeing a 5 step plan leading into the future also adjusting the 7 day threshold previously the target was $35.00 within the space of 7 days per 100000 inhabitants to allow for at least limited openings of sops of public facilities of sports now that has been lifted to 50 which is easier to reach but still a far cry from what is tangible at this very moment in time here and many with only

a few regions being below those 50 so at least it's somewhat of a road map but at the same time there's this lingering fear of a yet deepening crisis once again and with that changing of goal post is this considered to be a victory for chancellor mout merkel or is this not what she wanted to see come out of things. well she didn't really want to see opening up that is fair to say at the same time she did realize that public public lockdown fatigue was a problem in itself that needed to be tackled she didn't get what she wanted everywhere that's quite clear to say that's what we can read into that 7 day incidents of being raised to 50 making it easier to be within grasp of those regions eager to offer something to a frustrated population at the same time she got them all united around the

table around one piece of paper last time she had to leave it to all of the regions to make up their own rules when it came to school openings we didn't really see that address in any depth quite clearly she is losing the firm grip on a national direction at the same time facing up to a new reality and finally introducing the whole idea and concept of rapid tests of d.i.y. tests which have been used more widely in other countries now finally also here in germany will have an impact on day to day life for germans in general our chief political editor michel thank you so much for that. staying in germany and the country's domestic intelligence agency has placed the largest opposition party the far right alternative for germany under surveillance federal office for the protection of the constitution plans to monitor the party because of suspicions

that its extremist positions could violate the country's constitution they f.t. says the move is politically motivated as it comes in the run up to germany's national elections in september. the f.t. started days as a euro skeptic party but is emerged as a political force in germany after the 2015 refugee crisis building its support base of migrant anti muslim rhetoric. is an invading force and we refuse entry to europe to germany. for right figures like quickly became the face of the party for 2 years germany's domestic intelligence agency has been reviewing the a f t's political messaging is being put under surveillance suspected of posing a threat to democracy researchers say it's

a logical step you put on. the guard she has become more radicalized and has built alliances with right wing extremists outside parliament the so-called new rice also other actors like pandemic critics to neo nazis it's repeatedly made headlines in recent years so this classification is correct in substance the f.d.a. is not impressed with the measure is accuse the domestic intelligence agency of being politically instrumental laws in an election year. the aim of the federal office for the protection of the constitution in the short term is obviously to weaken us until the elections and in the long term to destroy the only opposition party in parliament that supposes the dissolution of the nation states the limits of immigration from foreign cultures. to you says it will

legally challenge the decision. let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the world in nigeria 279 schoolgirls released by kidnappers earlier this week have been reunited with their parents. at the event was overshadowed by violence officials say security forces shot several people after mobs began throwing stones outside the village school when the girls were returning to. police in sweden say they are investigating a possible terrorism motive after 8 people were wounded in the stabbing rampage suspected attacker was shot and arrested by police calling the incident in the southern town of that ranta doctors say 3 of the victims are in a life threatening condition. the futuristic starship by space x. managed to touch down successfully over the gulf of mexico burst into flames minutes later the prototype i traveled some 10 kilometers after lifting off from

texas to previous space x. test flights ended in a crash landings. well security teams are on high alert in washington d.c. preparing for another possible attack on the capital by extremists on thursday as the day some right wing conspiracy theorists believe former president donald trump will be sworn in for a 2nd term in office the u.s. justice department has charged more than 300 people for the violence capital siege on january 6th the f.b.i. and others in law enforcement are facing a backlash for failing to contain the crow trump mob. that's straight over to washington d.c. and our correspondent all over it all over good to see you there now law enforcement has been criticized for failing to act more forcefully to prevent what happened on january 6th what are they doing differently this time around. and you're right clear in back of the time when january 6th the threat really was not

taken seriously enough it took law enforcement hours to respond to the fact that rioters had entered the capitol premises one explanation for that was the police by law enforcement they are didn't really see rioters as a threat police was supportive of trump in general and simply because trump has been supportive of police at times of the black lives matter protests no this time around it is a very different situation clear there are miles all the razor wire top fences surrounding the capitol premises so you cannot even get any close to the capitol itself security has been tied to just for this day tomorrow on march 4th as though it's really hard to imagine a repetition of what happened on january 6th law enforcement really wants to avoid a situation like that a repetition and comes well prepared for tomorrow's thursday that's worth reminding our viewers that for almost a century u.s. presidents have always been inaugurated on january 20th including president joe

biden base here so what is the significance of march 4th for some trump supporters . as fried so but it has been the it was the inauguration day until march 4th 933 and to understand 1 why that is such an important day for trump followers you have to dig into all this these conspiracy theories and q and on of course is one of them a lot of militia groups buy into the those theories as well so they believe that the u.s. government was turned into a corporation and that the last real president in brackets of course that was inaugurated on march 4th that was franklin roosevelt at the time so there's an intelligence report now saying that an attack is planned by militia groups the halls of representatives scrapped a thursday session moved the votes for a new legislation to tonight to wednesday and all of that of course in abundance of

caution and addition it to conspiracy theories from q and on what exactly has contributed to such widespread but unfounded doubts among republicans about the legitimacy of biden's election victory or the roller republicans played there in the run up to the situation we're in right now is very important well 1st of all they refuse to distance distance themselves from all those baseless claims of voter fraud that. put forward and many members of the republican party joined him in doing so as we know the 3 moment to perhaps get get rid of all of the opportunity the republican party would have had was the 2nd impeachment trial there are only 10 people 10 senators who were supportive the majority still stays behind trump. simply because they believe the trump is the best chance to move on and to win future elections a correspondent in washington d.c. thanks so much as always. and it's been

a nother deadly day for protesters in myanmar the u.n. special envoy on myanmar said $38.00 people were killed in the most recent series of crackdowns on demonstrations citizens protesting against last month's military coup say they were met with live ammunition and tear gas. a peaceful protest of teachers and students soon gave way to chaos. security forces opened fire to break up their citizen demonstration in the city of man to lead a sending the crowd scaffolding through the streets. clouds of tear gas filling the air where the protests chance had already are echoed.

among the victims of the violence a 19 year old woman who was shot in the head. friends and relatives gathered in grief around her coffin just hours later to mourn yes another life lost. reports accumulated throughout the day on local and social media of many more protesters killed and wounded most of them in young dong. was also in smaller cities like mine you were video images showed security forces carrying live bodies on a blood soaked street. the u.n. security council is due to discuss the escalating crisis of friday to. thank. so far it has failed to condemn the military coup that's over turning me on mars democratically

elected government on february 1st. and with the junta by the sanctions put in place by national governments it looks like it will take much stronger action to and the brutal crackdown against the demonstrators. is your news a state at this hour remember there's always. more on our web site t w dot com i'm sarah chance and embroil and i mean the entire team here and so much for watching. on the cream pie value meal and i'm game did you know that $73000000.00 are killed worldwide sure but it's not just to animals total suffering the slain royal if you want to know how old ways to give to the priest and the culture is strange to us as we think is listen to our podcast on the dream fence.

my name is do you know paul. i was born on portal for the england but i have an indian mother. 10 years ago i came to mumbai the same to offer indian film industry to pursue my acting career. i quickly discovered that 2 different worlds coexist in india on one side be a class a booming economy high rise buildings but how some of the richest people in the world on the u. of a community is trapped in poverty who cannot progress with the rest of society. this is the story of one of those communities.

my work in india has taken me to many places and one of my favorite locations is registered. and i love the way they have preserved the heritage and culture the magnificent monuments forts and palaces. but after many years of being here i realized that i had only touched the india felt i was exposed to in my daily life. i decided i needed to explore the side of india if i didn't know.

and i just and i often saw a nomadic communities who seemed to be leading a totally separate life from the rest of india's developing society. not mixing with others awful. you see that travelling on that one of the cots looking like people from india from centuries ago as though they have been trapped in time. i discovered that they are called by god the house god he is the hindu you work for college on the hot meaning laughs.

i really wanted to learn more about these interesting people and hopefully discover a side of india. i knew nothing about. my journey started in j. for the big city. i wanted to find out from the local people what they knew about the guardian a hoss. god he aloha man they are not nice people why are you wasting your time with them they're not worth it if you take my advice leave them alone. why are you looking for those worthless people tourists like thank you. i. i go i don't like these people they're not good people

they sit at home doing nothing they don't work and they pick on chores like you did to get at the top let's not talk about them they're going to say. all the reactions was really negative but that made me more determined to find out for myself. i was told that there was a god ya know hot community who had such a company in a village called dawson not far from j. park. the next day i set off to find. the out i believe 10 people saw the top of the bus right there all day and now we have to slow down the physicality is just casually crossing the road with. this cycling guys so we had just 2 weeks in the door so i know. i had to be

a little bit skeptical and our you know i was expecting it to be. dirty and not clean but it's quite shocking actually. this is the seed found outside help me by living. by. i was told when i was in the car that i think about all the talk of the day i'll talk of it. but i was instead was out last night that i did that was a little bit out of the example i was after all of the negative comments about the guardian the hostile hurt i was nervous about how they would react to me i do what i did i was i

was like got out of the car everyone surrounded me i soon realized that i wasn't in any danger and that they were eager to tell me about how they have to live a little gaga i. was right outside i was referring to my wife and child lived in the dark there are no services for us we have to bring water from a long way away and pots on our heads there are no bathrooms no toilets guardiola hands are the poorest of the poor we have no work. no matter the manner i mean you can see how we're living in slums most of us don't have proper houses a few do but most don't and we're living in the dark because we don't have the ration cards to get services connected and we don't receive any government benefits . there's no electricity connected here are the big cities have all the services like water connection we don't even have that and the most out we have to go in the

bushes to go to the bathroom we don't have a nothing we don't even have water for washing we don't have houses to shelter us in the rains. we can't even cook the food we have to go to sleep hungry. there are so many families living without it was just by this time the group started we did a lot of take off. to get money for 9 months while i was pregnant i was living on the road. a little. looking there. as it is. ok so this is one of the houses if you come inside with me. to really know like i kind of stand up in here you come in. we've got like 2 beds. we have one fine. lot of chickens in it. and there's a cot so. i just i don't know how people are living on a. level i'm

like ok come with me and i don't know. oh look at this see how we live. you know go to bed well yes there's a bit here i'm down there you're good looking. after its mother for years. so yeah this is one room where. where he's saying 45 people will sleep there's no bed because there's nothing here it's just. the smell is so bad. yeah but. this is the bathroom where we wash our house is through. yes. we get water in the bucket obviously they get the water from outside and they bring it here and they use it ok.

there's absolutely no privacy you know the man or the women that do. when you have to behave like that everyone with absolutely no privacy at all. i was shocked by the living conditions. this particular group oh god your laws have been comes on the site for several months living in their cots in tents making use of any hof built out houses or derelict buildings that they could. their wish is to be settled in one place but finding a permanent location is difficult they have no status on the authorities can move them or not i think. that was the most tense over that as i walked around it made me sad to see the deprivation in this community however it seemed that no matter how little these people had they were still making the best of their situation.

keeping their large and extended families fed is a daily challenge for the guardian a hoss. if you know. how old is he is 9 months. how many kids if you got just one this one ok. if you want him to go to school. right now i want him to study but we have no money we don't have enough money for food so how can we make him study apartheid. but if he could be anything he might be an administrator and stand up for our rights none of us are educated if my child studied he could be a good administrator. it had been a really emotional day. though you know that. chorus

oh oh. oh yeah. oh oh. as i left i wanted to give them some gifts. but. i was upset by the reaction because it made me realize how desperately poor they are the older of the . lot of. the year. before. going back that night i felt a deep sense of guilt some sadness i would have a comfortable bed but the guardians wouldn't. i wondered why in such

a developing country of these people living this way. i wanted to find out more detail about the guardian the heart or regions i did some research on the internet . the guardian of us forefathers came from the last state in register in the capital city she taught is the historic she told bob ford regarded as their spiritual home. in the late 60 of century the kingdom of water was my haranath atop the guardian a hoss where his loyal followers and the royal blacksmiths making weapons for the king and his army. they want came under attack from the miracle emperor akbar whose army greatly outnumbered must have run of the tops of the aryans. in 1576 the battle of how they got to took place on marianna pathak when his followers were forced to flee. but guardiola hoss world loyalty to marana pathak and chose to live a normal life on the one of cots they vowed never to return to she taught until the

miracles were defeated. i discovered a piece of news film about the guardian's. from 1955. india's premier honest and narrow reason it made this unique procession from the tanach to tell. the story really began 400 years ago when the god you know was all right maximus vowed to live in our magic lies never even sleeping under a roof until last night it was liberated a sad story but it's happy ending came when mr merrill has to the flag on the tricked out of to toss up extra 1000 of them and some monogram in term time settling down to lead a normal life that much. this made me even more curious because the guardian has i had just met had certainly not settled down to lead a normal life. i decided to travel to shit talk at ford which played such an important part in the history. in 195500 near india's 1st

prime minister of the carter years by all that's inscribed on the stone flag in chateauroux. in a ceremony at the fort he then released the guardian from the bounds. i could find no version records of the guardiola house history so i wanted to see the stone for myself i discover exactly what the 5 oaks were. they took the following vows never to return to she taught never to live in a house never to sleep in a bed never to light a candle and never to drink water from a well they adopted a very simple nomadic lifestyle moving from place to place and living in the bullock carts for 400 years they followed their bows and remained faithful to their . 100 need who had also granted land i'm benefits to the guardians

but sadly subsequent governments failed to deliver on those promises. it's really shocking that these people who fought for their country and were so and loyal to their leader the top honoring their all this for so many years are now living as a forgotten community. today of a god he has continued their traditional way as blacksmiths as they did from iran at the top centuries ago. this is their only source of income for. many of the guardiola hostile follow the tradition of living and traveling on a carts known as the god he. guarded bought the god he's a very important for us marriage happiness everything happens our children live in the mud with or without them we are nothing. but love all cults and all pullets

which are always with them we call it without the compass the people living in them for a generation or so i got a. job on my good out in it when we moved to a place sometimes the village people don't let us stay they hate us because we are a traveler can you take. some people hate us and some don't i thought i. just love the fact that we move on when we're not welcomed and when we get to the next place we ask if we can spend. their lives out there. that appears out of the internet we try to get permission and sometimes that's a start and work for a few days. you know up but i don't know those are the good i'll.

hold. i met a travelling cardiod the hard family who wanted to show me how they make their i knew time souls i must know muster. why are you making. your. utensils for vegetables club good on me and. i think for this that person is right over here. ok. so how was it made we burn coal in the rock pit at the rock choir and then we hammer it to make the idea. we work hard together she operates the fan to keep the fire hot then the final product is made ok. how do you sell this. we sell in the market in villages. we carry the items on our hands to sell them in the

villages and how much of the sell for. 50 or 60 rupees. how many of you sell a day. 6 or 7 or 8 a day. and when you go into the market next we'll go to morrow well i can come with you. you can join us if you want to the woman who was on the other side of the. god you know women work hard they flush the water make the food tend to the livestock and play an equal part in the blacksmith work. men and women share from labor. party this is my husband we're making tools together. it's a lovely here. trying to madam no no no we both have to

work to earn enough to live. 6. and i think we need to eat. what else can we do to feed our children are cutting back out. of. that. big guardiola ha's where once highly respected craftsmen are fine armory from iran to talk. but now their work consists of repairing and shopping tools i'm making simple household which have souls and i for cultural implements. i went back to visit the family who had showed me how to make tools. i know

ok was that oh. hello i know what i have no idea. so let's go to the market oh i looked but oh ok oh god oh my god i'm not going to market because. i. i. wasn't. i was. just there i'm up and i'm like i was i. was. i think you going to set up here i don't know thank you when the family 1st laid out the tools on the street people crowded around i'm equally sold several items i thank.

god but i soon realized that it was my presence on the camera being bad. that was attracting the customers or if there was. no i'm going. i decided to leave and watch from a distance. once the camera was out of sight the customers disappeared. the family sat on the pavement for the rest of the day and all the soul a few more items. must produce tools have overtaken makarios livelihood they cannot compete it has made them one of the lowest in the poverty line community use in india. their day of selling only made them around a 100 rupees just enough to buy vegetables for the next few days. if the guardians

don't sell enough often they'll have to go hungry. i saw at differing levels of poverty in all the guardian the hard communities that i met but the ones that were still living a travelling life were in a chorus state then those who were settled. and no magic lifestyle is not sustainable in today's developing india. although released from their vows by prime minister neighbors it's clear to this day that some guardians are still influenced by the old stair forefathers took from our run of the top. some do want a different life but they don't know how to live any other way. i found out that the guardiola hearts have a c. in your head of the community named god around so i travel to push that to meet him . along with the.

yes they both look like what you have. is a passionate advocate for the rights of the god you are the house. he has been struggling with the authorities and has an on calling campaign to secure designated land for some of the guardiola hard communities. i remember was talking about. tell you what happened the day before yesterday when i met the home minister of raja stan. i said to him give us a date for the inauguration of the marana pratap colony so that these people can get settled. or like i did. they set a date next month october 6th and we were happy that the home minister would come. around went on to tell me that the minister kept changing the date for the handover . delaying be entire process. it was clear

that the battle to improve conditions for his people is a very emotional one for him. that i took an oath that until i get these people settled and their children educated i want nothing more from life. as things are if they don't have money for food. they will go to bed hungry. they wouldn't steal or rape if they stay away from crime. i believe that i was sent by god to serve this community. so i feel very proud

to have been born here. your movie goer. there is. in this country it's very difficult to fight for the rights of poor people. give maharani a prototype was alive today even he might have given up. this is how the situation is in this country for people like us they don't bother about a tribe of warriors who fought for their country. no one takes any notice of us they don't wonder if these people have food if they have a place to sleep that's just how it is. meeting with god made me begin to understand the suffering that can come from not having the security of a permanent place to live. i met a family who have endured great hardship without

a stable home one of the sons showed me where the family lives please come in ok. i was there you look beautiful. so record this thing that's for famous small him and his brothers and his mom his dad has expired. where does everyone sleep there are one or 2 more beds like this. i mean once those are here as well yeah. ok so i'll tell you how long have you lived here for 3 years. ok earlier we lived in sheetrock quote the jeep or development authority moved us out of there it was the height of the rainy season when they dropped us here it was raining heavily and everything got soaked we had no food we didn't eat properly for 5 days we were given a few biscuits. well look what he said we've had a lot of difficulties the j.d.

a said they'd provide us with everything but we didn't get anything at all we didn't even have water here we had to ask neighboring houses for drinking water later there was a government bore hole nearby and all of us got together and paid to get a water connection from their. fund. so how have they spoke to anyone in the government was trying to help them you know. have you tried to speak to someone when my dad was a lawyer you try but now no one listens to us they can come any time to move us from here to that's why we're going to do it shocks because they can demolish all shelters any time. so your father is not here what do you plan to do how do you plan to make money and keep the family fed i mean just right now i'm in my last year of college so i'm looking for a part time job to cover the household expenses. and i'll get

a full time job so the talk in the gulf to my family. has a plan to shift to selling it to a house or to the less they like but it's living like this. this is a very well if i get a well paid job i want to take care of the family help build a nice house for my mum and dad sorry my dad is to see but i'll give my mum a better life. after having so many stories about the issues i want to supply i want to what is the government doing to improve matters. i managed to arrange a brief meeting with the minister of water i wanted to ask him if you could solve the problem i took particular location that i have been to. if you give me the names. the location i will arrange a water supply for them whether it's a hand pump or a tube well or will install

a public stand pipe for water. tell me the location and in 24 hours i'll make the arrangement. and. when you come across locations like this just write to me then we will sort it out. and. i will sort it out. there's a guardian a hard community there. they've got land but no water facilities. do an immediate want to supply arrangement in that area report back to me and let me know what arrangements you've made whether it's a hand pump or public standby. if there is no connection arrange it as soon as

possible. no guardiola heart should be left without a water supply you know you're.
