we shed light on the opaque worlds who's behind her benefits. and why are they a threat to whistle? opaque worlds starts january 5th on d, w. ah, ah, ah, this is dw news live from berlin. major protests on the streets of sudan demonstrate as are calling for democracy 2 months after a military coup. security forces fire t, a gas to disperse the crowds and cut off internet services to try and stop. the protest is also coming up. the revolutionary new telescope is launched into space

seals hope james web telescope will be able to tell us more about the origins of the universe. and in his annual christmas address, german president, spanish dine. my appeals for unity at a time of tension and frustration because of the pandemic. anti thanks those who chose to get vaccinated. ah, i am jared ray. thank you very much for your company. we begin to show in sudan where thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of cod to him and other cities, demanding a return to civilian rule. the rallies come 2 months after a military coup. the civilian prime minister, abdullah hum duke has since been reinstated, bought the pro democracy movement once a government free military control. ah,

t gas and water cannon against a growing movement, angry at military rule sedans, capitol cartoon was once again the scene of mass pro democracy protests. a military crew in october through the countries transition to democracy into disarray. and the reinstatement of the military and civilian government a month later failed to ease anger the armies powell grab when we are here and we still believe in the 3 nose, no legitimacy, no bargaining, no partnership with the military. the military does not rule us and we demand the hand over a full power to civilians. we demand civilian democratic roll. them are robbing maddening. almost 50 people have been killed and hundreds injured in crackdowns on anti cru protests since october. and there have been allegations of

security forces raping women protesters in the lead up to saturdays rally the authorities, blocked roads and bridges. internet and phone lines were cut off. but the pro democracy movement is still finding ways to stand together against military role. and earlier we spoke with dw africa correspondent, felix marengo, who's following the events in sudan for us from nairobi. and we asked him how likely it was that the protest is demand that the protest is demand for return to democracy would be met. it is very unlikely that the military will actually stepped down or back down and based on the resent development cause like earlier today, the internet was cut off. so people are not able to communicate amongst themselves . and so they were not able to mobilize as enough, but a protest i talked to this particular evening said that the military seems to be dead tired in getting tad with what the protest as i continuously doing to mount

pressure on them. but it is very unlikely because even the prime minister, who has reinstated still has his powers clipped by the same military that people i expecting to bog down. so whether the military will back down, it's very highly unlikely, especially are following the reason developments. felix marine gas speaking to us from nairobi, there are christians around the world have been marking christmas day, but in many parts of europe, the celebrations have been scaled back because of a massive surgeon cove. at 19 cases, thousands of people across britain have taken the opportunity to actually get vaccinated. daily infections in the u. k. a jumped above 100000 this week for the 1st time. it's not something you can find wrapped under the tree. but the gift of health is what thousands of brits are looking for this christmas. this vaccination center is one of many open during the holidays,

with the goal of fulfilling the prime minister's promise to offer every adult a job before the end of the year. or was stored li, unimaginable, unfathomable, by anybody that we could have a christmas or even the whole year like this, that this has been primarily authority of acts initially ariana. so unprecedented by the u. k. is grappling with its latest surgeon cases fueled by the army. kron variant hospitals are bracing for another massive wave of cove it. in this hospital in france, one of the country's biggest health care workers, fear they may soon run out of beds for new patients. france reached another record high number of infections on saturday, registering more than 104000 cases. most of the patients spending christmas day in this. i see you are on vaccinated with who he got them. i thought

a lot about the fact that i refused to be vaccinated. if i had been vaccinated, i would not have needed this level of intensive care or duty i'll muscle relaxer. so the vaccine is not a danger in what it is, a possibility of escaping ish, something more serious in the netherlands. the decorations are up, but no one's around to enjoy them. people here is spending another christmas in lockdown. we hope the next is going to be rather was, is like with her 2 years ago and all the koran over again. okay. first christmas book, another years going to be both everybody's actually already with here and around the world. people are hoping that next year santa's gift will be a merry christmas. ok,

let's turn our attention to some other stories making headlines. this our, the saudi led coalition has launched large scale air strikes on rebel held areas in yemen, killing several people in the countries northwest. that's in response to deadly missile attacks by who the rebels on saudi arabia. nearly 400000 people have died during 7 years of war. a suicide bomber has killed at least 5 people in the eastern city of benny in the democratic republic of congo. the explosion went off in a busy restaurant in the city's downtown. no group has yet claim responsibility, but the city has regularly seen clashes between the army and an islamist group. and after 3 months, scientists have declared the volcanic eruption on the spanish island of la palmer officially over. it began on september the 19th and ended suddenly on december, the 13th. the volcanoes activity led to the evacuation of thousands of residents and destroyed vast stretches of farm land and more than $3000.00 buildings

to hong kong. now, where universities have been removing statues and murals commemorating the $19990.00 elements square massacre. until recently, the city was the only place in china where such memorials were tolerated. it's the latest step in china's campaign to silence descent in hong kong. a quiet campus at the university of hong kong and an empty spot where a statue called the goddess of democracy stood it memorialized the bloody end of the democracy movement. in beijing, students put up the sculpture in 2010, a replica of a statue that protestors erected indiana mon square in 1989. and at hong kong ling non university, an image of the goddess of democracy was painted over a sign of deference from the

university towards the authorities. in beijing and mural of the tank man disappeared as well. memorializing an unknown man who stood in front of a column of tanks in 1989. the disappearance follows years of official tolerance beings. lexi at prolong diversity is trying to erase history. lexia. they took away the possibility for students to learn something about the events of that time. i'm was thought don't lennon. dalton hogan was at lexia kaywood. now there are just empty spaces and silence where the memorials used to be the same fate for the pillar of shame. which commemorated the unknown number of student protesters who died in the tenement square massacre. another victim of official regulations and quote, security concerns. okay, time for some good news. now scientists are celebrating the launch of the most powerful telescope ever built. the james web space telescope lifted off the border

rocket from the european space agency base in french kiana. it's hoped it will provide new insights about the origins of the universe and possibly extra terrestrial life. and we have in store and lift up it. they put out a new era of space exploration takes off on board the biggest and most advanced astronomical observatory ever launched. the james web space telescope will help solve mysteries about the formation of stars and scan exit planets for signs of life celebrations back on earth. the european space agency space in french kiana scientists are ecstatic about the discoveries to come with mission to understand excell planets. i think goes really to some of the core of our humanity. these fundamental questions of are we alone in the universe? where do we come from?

where do we go? the universe is so huge. and i think that out there somewhere, there will be life. but we don't know. we have to build large instruments to tell. and where will make a big leap in that direction. it took some 3 decades of work and almost $10000000000.00 to build the giant telescope. teens from european canadian and u. s. space agencies collaborated on the development the massive gold plated mirror and its tennis court sized sun shield were designed to fold up into the launch rocket. at its core, a powerful infrared lens which can penetrate clouds of gas and dust deep into parts of time and space. never before observed that we had had some infrared telescopes in the past, but they been much, much smaller than wet. so there will be many powerful tools that this telescope will have that just were had not been available to us in the past. so

it's going to be that's why it's revolutionary, why we're all excited about it. the james web telescope is now traveling to its final destination more than 4 times further than the moon. it will be 6 months before it can collect scientific data. a long wait for scientists, though, barely a blip in the soon to be revealed time span of the universe. let's go to baltimore in the us. now i'm bringing macarena garcia, martin. she's a member of the european space agencies science and operations team for the james web space telescope. welcome to d w. firstly, congratulations on this launch. this must be a really big relief for you and your colleagues. thank you so much for having me. yeah, it's been such a good day and you know, lunch is always delicate moment if you will. so seeing that everything was not me now, the trajectory was perfect,

that i suspected. and then seeing that telescope actually going into space on deploying the solar panel, it was really incredible. yeah, i was very happy. that's great. where do we go from here? well from here the telescope has to travel about one half 1000000 kilometers to it's or with a point called ranch to and it will take about a month or so in that month the, we'll do all the deployment a mirror and she'll the secondary mirror and then start to slow the 2nd to come down and get things ready to the science. so it's going to take a few months to get there. okay, so, so a few months. this is a $10000000000.00 project of, of multiple space agencies. what the scientists expect to see with the telescope. there are a few big themes so that the 1st one, which was a bit of scope, was to observe the very 1st,

the staffing galaxies. we're talking about that i mean 3500000000 years ago. so we would have sent those very 1st alex's in a star, and then from there we will not close my galaxy at the, at the look on the next 20 percent. how that x is eval on how they form and generate levels of service. a life cycle of stars, the birth of for the assistance and also of services affects the planets by x a plan. this maintenance plan is that are outside of our system with the objective of finding indications of life in those planet. ok. so that's the big question. is it, is it likely to pick up signs of life in out of space? depending on how we defined that i mean picking science. so life for where it will mean studying the atmosphere of the sex a planet and finding components that indicate life. for instance,

you need genetic picking, you need what are the carbon dioxide, methane so all those components when they are shown together in the 2nd racial, it may indicate the presence of life in the planet. very interesting. i think it is, it is really. yeah, very interesting. exciting times ahead, that's macarena garcia. moderate in from the european space agency and the bolt in baltimore in the u. s. thank you very much for your time. thank you. both. not only people on earth who are celebrating the holidays the astronauts on the international space station have also taken a bit of a break to the crew of expedition. $66.00, including for nasa astronaut and one from the european space agency. dressed up for the occasion. merry christmas group with erica, happy holidays. happy new year from all of expedition. 66.

what's good here in berlin now for many people here living in the german capital christian christmas conjures up visions of hot mild wine and walks in the snow. but for those living on the streets here, the bitter cold can be life threatening, and the pandemic has only made matters worse. our next report takes a look at a volunteer who donates her time to drive building streets, to drive around building streets to help the cities homeless survive the winter. i love las, i'm chuck head, but give your friends some t o for over 10 years. carty kaiser has been helping homeless people survive berlin's inhospitable winters firm. i've been cut off when i had put in the midst of germany's 4th coven, waive, and with omi, called looming. the situation for homeless has become ever more traumatic because the risk that people will die is higher this year was i?
