our european union leaders have approved ukraine's bid for candidate status. the 1st official step towards joining the e u, although was also formerly accepted. the candidate high profile leaders from germany, france, and italy had all back ukraine's application. and the european pardon was also in favor after a short break. there is doc film. stay tuned for that next vice or for me and the whole news team here in berlin. thanks for watching. ah ah, we're all set to go beyond the obvious citizenship, a man we're all in. as we take on the way, we're all about the stories that matter to you. whatever it takes, policemen follow with

w. fire made for mines. ah . were pittsburgh 2009. the u. s. point is the finger ready run yesterday and united states united kingdom and france. was that a detailed evidence to be i here demonstrating that the islamic republic of iran has been building a cover uranium enrichment facility for several years. this is, did the runs leaders immediately suspected spies in their ranks compared to talk to orders were given to hunt down those who had disclosed nuclear secrets in the process. iranian intelligence came across an encrypted platform where c, i. e. agents exchanged information the iranians working, who were also very active in iraq, had somehow been able to compromise that system if a run could crank the secret ca,

messages the lives of hundreds of agents would be in danger. with super computer generated high cryptographic systems, you need a super computer to attack it. a china has some of the worlds fastest super computers and good relations with iran. so it may be that the iranians passed the intercept over to the chinese. they processed it. they were able to decrypt it with the help of the decrypted messages. the iranians exposed the ring of c i. agents, the discovery had unexpected consequences. and several from the cia switch sides. a number of important cases of ca, officers who were turned by the chinese and were working for them most damaging to the cia. was jerry lee's betrayal from 2010. he helped chinese intelligence unmasked, at least 20 cia informants in the country. they were jailed or executed. in one

case, the punishment was especially cruel. not only was the spy executed, but also his, a pregnant wife was executed as well. and this was done on closed circuit television so that the people in the ministry where he worked could witness the event. chinese intelligence operations range from extremely brutal to almost silent. a former senior official in the n s. i said that russia is like a hurricane. and china is like climate change. i think that in the 20 twenty's we'll probably see the chinese spying the heck out of us. on the other hand will be spying the heck out of them. ah, ah, ah. in

mid 2019 a, chechen man was crossing berlin's 2 garden park. the man was living in germany under a false name. out of nowhere, a cyclist appeared, carrying a pistol with a silencer attached to the victim's alene. hon. congos really was shot 3 times for years he had fought against russia as a militia leader in the caucuses. does offer at an zebra. vic, the victim had a really checkered history in the chechen wars done. after that, it was clear that georgia intelligence had maybe recruited him, isn't the right phrase for life, but he definitely cooperated with them and he was used for negotiations. for example, on long angles that's in 2100 osha really joined the chechnya and military resistance movement, which later became the islamist caucuses. emerett knocked him often battle in go against him until after an apparent attack on him was only narrowly stopped in georgia. he went to ukraine of san contact from his contact from the georgia

intelligent service still working there today. the high school fund must, isn't, that means russia must have considered this man an enemy 2 or even 3 time over onions that apparently put him on a russian intelligence death list. and a told us listless. wilson going, cisco plastered there are said to be as many as 20 targets on that list. russia wants revenge, the suspect in the congo. sh, feely killing is also suspected of a 2013 shooting that was caught on camera in moscow. there to a bike was involved, the suspect is fighting crusty cough, a former soldier rehab because of a lack of russian co operation on this issue. we've expelled to russian embassy employees from the countries. butch after slanders have used them, but vladimir putin was unmoved at that week. but he, cham, which he has rosky could originally refuse gifts that on that he had no correctness

though russian site had repeatedly asked our german colleagues for the extradition of disbanded this murderer who beat. unfortunately, there was no agreement on the issue in the same same opinion. with the world of intelligence services can be brutal, some under them dignities, it also signals the extent of one's power to other nations. i, when it comes to achieving goals through lethal and military means that restraint has fallen away. line because the international community simply hasn't done enough to correct the situation for it's effective. and so it's used with less and less restrain with the ultimate one gram dying. that's when the suspect went on trial in berlin, russia, and it's intelligent services. we're also on the dock. the accused denied everything, calling it a case of mistaken identity. was the park murder also a way of sending

a message to germany in the selected as intelligence agencies would see it on the act didn't really concerned germany. hawkins. like other states as if they reserve the right time to any one they deem terrorists anywhere in the world isn't. and if necessary, we'll shoot them dead on myself to a she's traitor's face. the same fate defector sergey scruple was poisoned in england. decent beyond us spectacularly, and these especially sensational cases take place according to time and opportunity site. one to colleen, i think about it. if mister st. paul had lived in berlin, there would have been another tia gotten case. is she hobbs high for years? russian intelligence has had a policy of punishing traitors wherever they live for a topic. cough vimovo, c o c p. it wasn't always that way in the cold war spies like rudolph able, which changed for you as prisoners. often in potsdam, on the outskirts of berlin, under the watchful eyes of the shed asi, but even then motors also took place in

1954 k, g b defector. nicolai's hall clove, told western media that he was ordered to poison a dissident in germany using a poison dart from a cigarette case. o clubs, family was then sent to a labor camp. but its best little past far as western europe was concerned. both superpowers turned away from secret service assassinations for assistance because many cases led to a huge public media outcry around the world like tom. and they wanted to avoid that altamont, for my cases like that of georg markoff, were to sensational. the bulgarian was murdered in london in 1978, using a poisoned bullet, fired from an umbrella. the u. s. to planted assassinations as revealed to congress in 1975. have you brought with you on

some of those devices which would have enabled to say, i ever used this poison for we haven't they for killing people? no, don't buy them. does this to fall on fire? the darn it does with fire. they smaller than was other ones input in the us. it was domestic scandals following watergate that led to secret service assassinations being officially banned by the president warden since 2002, the cia seems to once again find any means justified. this is missouri are in eastern poland, far from the capital, warsaw, and near the border with bellows hidden in a forest is a polish secret service facility. this is where the cia has taken members of al qaeda and other terrorism suspects. once in poland,

they were tortured by c. i. agents similar things have happened in bagram in afghanistan and abu ghraib prison in iraq, where the torture included humiliation in poland. prisoners were interrogated using illegal methods as ordered by ca, leadership, even today, the areas under tight security, military police follow our camera team were filmed, and our cars searched in 2017. a civil lawsuit by inmates revealed the extent of cia practices, lawyers for a victim interviewed jose rodriguez. a former cia covert operations officer. i just so that the record is clear or for the techniques for which you sort approval were the attention grass walling facial

hold. facial slap, cramp, confinement, wall standing, stress positions, sleep deprivation, waterboard, use of diapers, insects, and mach burial. now, i'm not asking what got approved. i'm asking whether those were the techniques for which you requested approval. yes. today is january 16th the cie, hired psychologist jeans, e mitchell, and paid his company $81000000.00 to develop enhanced interrogation method was off your pennsylvania at the request of gibbons p. c. the 1st victim was al qaeda member abu zubaydah. why was he water boarded after he started cooperating? you'd have to ask the cia why they wanted to continue doing that? well, i was the head of it and my analysts were concerned that perhaps he was not compliant . i was zubaydah was among those tortured for weeks in poland. he lost an

eye. were they there voluntarily? they were not there voluntarily, but they could stop the interrogation. they agreed to comply. the prisoners were later sent from poland to guantanamo bay. there to the c i a and f b, i use torture, iowa, so 70 days of intensive torture, nor sleep 6 will fall, beating no medication, nor food. i'm not allowed to go to the bathroom. i have to p and do everything in my clothes. you know, because i was chain, they say either i big them or i do in my clothes and i chose to do in my clothes. foreman, police officers were also involved in trying to get the prisoners to talk to lieutenant russel zullie is a police officer from chicago. me. he gave me

a letter in that letter. it says that my mother would be kidnap and to put in a prison where of the world only man my heart bravo. and i know that moment that there was nothing to lose. for several years, mohammed told seller he had contact with al qaeda terrorists. he knew followers of osama bin laden, he also met students from the so called hamburg, so among the group where would be terrorists, including mohammed, alta and z, a gera. they were later tasked with quickly learning how to pilot a large plane. the pair were regular visitors to shine gun a mean hamburg street and home to a solid fist mosque where they made friends with others, including rumsey,

been sheep, who became the groups leader, leader in 2003. be now she was tortured and interrogated for weeks. and accused old salary of being the person who had told the 911 pilots how to get to afghanistan. ah, where's the calls over here right now? we might have a hard yard over here to america 11, trying to call a boy with the one that had the bowling. wow. with knowing that i can afford always more

the attacks on new york and washington left around 3000 people did and forever changed the united states. george w bush had been president for a few months. he called on the international community to fight a war on terror. there is universal support for the american people. sadness in their voice. but understanding that we have just seen the 1st floor of the 21st century. another or has been declared us. we will lead the world to victory pickering intelligence agencies were charged with ensuring that victory, especially the cia, one of the most famous covered up figures in american history. culture black

famously said to congress, there was a before $911.00 and an after $911.00. he says after 911, the clubs came on beginning in 2002. the ca build secret torture prisons, not only in poland, but also in romania. al qaeda members were interrogated in these so called black site. in thailand of damn war error surveillance facility became a torture prison ah, from guantanamo be in cuba to eastern europe to asia. the seas, black sites cover the globe, the cooperation of foreign countries and sea ice detention and termination for him is absolutely essential. there was no way to do this program on us soil. the cia needed the cooperation of foreign officials and they're willing to pay for that cooperation. every nation in every region now has a decision to make either you are with us or you are with the terrorists.

if you freedom and the dignity of every life. well, we'll said then i love those people at that asked because of our way of life. but we will never abandon our way of life. ironically, the 1st thing that they did, they abandoned their will of life of democracy freedom. and that was the real win of the extremist. the usa, which warn afghanistan and iraq were the justification, was supposed to weapons of mass destruction. in doing so, they made enemies of muslims, the world over milan in 2003 abil omar was snatched from the street after midday prayers. the operation was carried out by 23 c. i. agents,

including portuguese operative sabrina de sosa. the ca wasn't concerned about breaking italian law till of even israel, for decades, a hot bed of conflict. in the mid 19 ninety's gestures towards peace were once again shattered. this time a bus bombing carried out by islamists, the palestinians. most of the bombs had been constructed by yaya sh. in 1996, an informant working for israel's shin bet domestic intelligence service slipped him a cellphone containing semtex and explosive. the device exploded, healing i ash israel's foreign intelligence service. most sod also carries out assassinations. at the time, it was led by shopped. i shall eat e ah, masha hello, coolly may sick william god is targeted, killing

a good and effective strategy on hold. i a law as yet is ashley shay gold? why ah, she would show us, let's say i'm trying to find and eliminate the leader of a terrorist group and he knows it with the data syllable. then he'll spend half his time protecting himself. will huffily come ashima last time? he then can't use to organize terror and all that small lost the glow. how me shame a hose, males luncheon, ro, sure will mark the, shall bonneville the length to which most sand goes can be seen in this surveillance camera footage. from a hotel in dubai. in 2010 israeli agents disguised as tourists pursued a target mahmoud. alma bu. a high ranking hamas member. a most odd operative suffocated the man in his room with a pillow. def he love, i made a mistake on molly, which that then had of masada has since admitted item. the operation had to be

carried out so quickly. that massage didn't have enough time to produce a false identity of authentic me to put up to unfortunate dental individuals had to travel under the same identity again and again, i can eat and it hits as muslim massage agents were unmasked. such teams aren't always that big. in 1995 in malta and agent shocked at the head of the islamic jihad group frantisha khaki. the terrorist group was weakened for months. why? because it is i by sergeant? oh yes. in the past, the assassination of leaders has sometimes led to the destruction of their entire organization's law. the monique shall i rule as his slow thing, israel's greatest foe. iran has shown that it has nuclear ambitions of its own. in 2021, he tested a missile capable of reaching space. nuclear missiles would pose

a serious threat to the small country that is already targeted by conventional rockets, fired by palestinian groups in 2018 is rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu didn't mince words in front of the cameras. you long lard thicker and if i look or do with you on the body, separate too high to see if we can do well. but israel didn't stop and accusations in the media using guns and explosives most. our agents also killed several iranian nuclear scientists. in iran, the murdered scientists were celebrated as martyrs. lou key part of the plan was to form new organizations

to continue the work. this is how dr. more st. fuck reside a head of the project. ahmad put it. remember that name? in november 2020 the head of iran's nuclear program was attacked while driving with his wife. massage had set up a disguised machine gun and triggered it remotely. the nuclear. i just had no chance when iran announced it would retaliate. but anyway, oh no, no, no, no, many iranians have been killed around the world in recent years. well, did it start a war? no, it says the government will come off intelligence agencies carry out their orders, them and then all of them will go out in democracies. the government is responsible

for intelligence agencies with family and children. it can't escape that responsibility. local law harley leave law who will, who? los angeles for many years michael, german worked in the city as an f. b. i agent at times he did undercover work, infiltrating right wing terror groups. terrorism is attacking. and what i learned working undercover in for a militant groups was that it is at sign of weakness. so for a group to be using this tactic is a clue right away that there are very well aware in 1991 los angeles and the entire u. s were shaken by the police violence against rodney king, amid huge divisions in the country, german infiltrated california's neo nazi, seen, the undercover agent trying to comprehend the stream, right?

these individuals, they're not just in their own world, making their own decisions. they're often reacting to things that government does during the time that i was under cover, that was just ruby ridge siege. it was during waco when horrible siege inferno killed dozens of people in 1993 the f. b. i rated a cult in waco, texas, around 80. people died hard to convince somebody to come a fugitive for the rest of their life. but if the government is engaging in activities, torture, kidnappings, detention without a trial, then you're going to increase the risk that one of these people is going to take matters into their own hand. at the end of 2001, the conquest of afghanistan was celebrated as a triumph in the war on terror. in bagram, near cobble us soldiers began torturing their prisoners. they saw almost every one

as an enemy, or you have to look at what the intelligence was at the time. the apparatus about china was roughly 4 to 5000 people. and that doesn't justify pay huge ramping up and government authority expenditure is in wars and multiple countries. are the masterminds on the war on terror? were men like u. s. secretary of defense, donald rumsfeld, her part of it was, we've had a generation war that will be like the cold or where we can justify any expenditure . we can just by complete secrecy without any sort of interference from overseers in congress or certainly the pub way. it wasn't just the military and the cia that were involved in underhand operations.

in the s b, i were to hear a narrative that manage their ages. go with, if they ever got to a point where they thought it was going too far along, they should just invite themselves to leave. that in fact, was never true. this be i shows up, you know, talking to without good guys who are going to coffee by. they know that you talk to them because you have been taught to him, you know, and this is like very evil. if the eye is as bad as the military as bad does the cia so make no mistake? if me i, agent, when they came to want dental, they, they wanted to bury me alive. the war on terror was beginning to threaten freedom and the rule of law as we ways to warrant terror overseas. we're also going

after the terrorist here at home and a powerful national counter terrorism center was charged with keeping alti eda and many others in it's sites. that theory was that people get infected with some radical idea, and that puts them on a path towards committing a terrorist act. so instead of looking at those 5000 people who are part of al qaeda on 911, we're looking at a 1000000 people. one suspected an individual was always a potential threat. the patriot act has help save american lives and it's protected american liberty. they were looking at everyone, including every american and gathering our information with the idea that somehow they would be able to sift it and find out which of us were lord via threatened the future were rock obama took over the apparatus and continued to expand it. and his successors aren't cutting the intelligence budget either,

though the current amount to secret in 2010, an estimated $80000000000.00 went to 17 intelligence agencies. and the u. s. is blanketed by an almost continuous network of intelligent sites. over the last 10 years, congress has been trying to figure that out. and how many people are part of this apparatus? when congress asked, every department had to identify the number of people with clearances that they're responsible for. they couldn't do it, and they didn't even know how many people that they had given earth. ah, the digital revolution has prompted a kind of gold rush among intelligence agencies around the world. laws hardly count for anything any more. ah. the tools that had been intended to protect the public had been in many ways used

to attack the public flagrant violations of u. s. law. constitutional rights. and more importantly, human rights. what do you do when the most powerful institutions in society have become the least accountable to society? edward snowden leaked an essay documents hinted at a massive extent of surveillance. they also incriminated germany's federal intelligence service, the b and d. in 2014 a bundis ta committee investigated how far the cooperation between the agencies went. thomas thomas, drake was with the nfl southern yes. the former intelligence officer made serious accusations, sang the b n. d supplied the us with data for drone warfare that it was an arm of the essay in this a, the indices and search terms. and the b n d provided the data constitutional

rights were being systematically undermined. one intelligence agency was searching national data for digital traces on behalf of the other a devastating system as they hunt for as much data as possible intelligence agencies need helpers, are our governments understood? we are going to need a lot of data about what people are uptown. so we're going to let the market take care of it. and then that will be the place where we dip our straws. and we can just slur, pop the data that we need, and that's how we're going to connect the dots that allow these companies to pursue these very strange arrangements where we think we're searching on google. but they're actually capturing every aspect of our online behavior in order to mine it for predictive signals. every year, the extent of the surveillance increases

with in the state of utah. the an essay has huge server parks. they can theoretically store and analyze all of the world's digital data, but information alone can't prevent terrorist attacks. there was an investigation before the $911.00 commission demonstrating that $911.00 conspiracy was lost in the bass streams of data that were being collected on a regular basis. the problem was, by the time the report came out, those vast streams had already turned into raging rivers. in november 2009, a us soldier, shot and killed 13 people at fort hood. the f b i had had the perpetrator in its sights for some time. pick any of the successful plots that weren't stopped after $911.00. fort hood is a good example because the former f b, i, director william webster, ran a commission. and what they found was that there were concrete pieces of evidence

that suggested that something was wrong with his communications. but the data explosion within the f. b. i obscured those pieces. critical pieces with other attackers of also evaded f. b i n c i a despite all their data, like those in orlando and manchester is often come on shore, has tired from one can certainly say that a lot of things had slowed me. since september, 11th of isn't yet spy yet, but it's now 2 decades later when defend them on was and i think you really have to critically evaluate what went well asked and what went badly actually. and then also scale things. facts called justice and things didn't happen that way. and it remains a problem to this day in, besides, these days, u. s. intelligence agencies can monitor and even kill suspects in almost any corner of the world. yet, dca, at the not at the cia employed and decided on drone attacks him at the end of the

day. it's highly problematic when an intelligence agency gets its hands on that kind of weaponry. and the 1st place comes president george w bush laid the groundwork for his successor dis, shit from foil. a step from torture and interrogation to targeted killings happened under obama obama perceived hope to do nothing in the face of terrorist networks would invite far more civilian casualties. simply put, these strikes have saved lives. latisha obama does. of course, obama decided on and supported the massive expansion of the drone program and targeted killings which, globally speaking, continue to be basically the most serious crimes committed and the name of the state. and i'm begun and what zip the drones don't kill just terrorists. im human in pakistan. tell wind places like yemen and pakistan's. they've ended up terrorizing whole swans of land and people living

there. vouch be. this creates a never ending cycle of violence as the candid doesn't come back. terrorism and a fe, it feeds of terrorism and, and tell, ah, even with the drones, the covert war on terror can not be one. it's well documented that this methodology we have creating the secret compartmentalized part of our government that we'd only ask about leads to considerable waste and abuse for their estimates. that just the effort in the quote unquote war on terrorism. with a 6 trillion dollar expenses. since 2001 secret operations and violence have taken precedence over diplomacy for jason blizzard keys, who is deployed in cobble for years, it's the wrong strategy for me. it is one of the great mistakes of the united states has ever made in the conflicts of trying to counter terror because all that, that was great, more terrorists. so you have met as,

as ation of terrorism. i think a large part of that is because groups like al qaeda groups like isis have been able to take a message that the united states is carried out. terrible torture and has killed innocent civilians and have been able to effectively market that to audiences who have then eventually joined groups like isis and al qaeda. after the american withdrawal, the threat of terrorist violence has grown in afghanistan and offshoot of the islam ec state used a suicide bomber to kill dozens of people. the u. s. responded with the drone strike, but it's intelligence was wrong and the strike hit the wrong people. consequences for such actions seemed to be lacking. even revelations about the use of torture in 2014 didn't and careers at the cia enter i around and there was a success in this approval of this near $7000.00 page report,

which is the largest report in senate history. but it's also important to recognize at the very same committee that approved this report also voted to confirm gina has, who was involved in the torture program. as c, i director just a few years after completing networks. ah, it's been nearly 50 years since an operations officer rose up through the ranks to become the director. and after the experience of the last 2 months, i think i know why that is, ah, c, i, a officers don't have to fear punishment, and they can bend the truth to suit themselves. have you consulted with president trump or members of his administration with regard to quote unquote bringing back torture? no, well i would never rock. we never use tortures. i don't know what you're talking about . b, c, i a doesn't refer to torture or just to interrogation methods

that get results. we conducted this review over a number of years in a basement with no windows just computers hooked up to a server. and that servers where the cia produced these 6300000 pages of records and what we saw most classified pages again and again. and again, was that when detainees were tortured, they fabricated information. in other words, they told the interrogators exactly what they wanted to. jones sifted through years of cia data, he was probably spied on himself at one point that they went in to the computers that were being used by the senate intelligence committee staff went through the emails, went to the same time messages of staff, and certainly went through drafts of the report, reportedly a u. s. intelligence agency breaking into the networks of its own senate. i have grave concerns that the cia so she may well have violated the separation of powers

principles embodied in the united states constitution, no ca, hecky into, you know, senate computers. nothing could be further from the truth and he would crush nice to see you again with c. he denies the accusation instead accusing daniel jones are betraying secretly study on the c. i detention the senator's like an apparent ation time with the criminal referral against staff that was again later found to be fabricated by the c. i were all tactics to delay oversight. is the c i a in danger of spinning out of control? senate intelligence committee in the house intelligence committee were not briefed on the sea ice detention interrogation program until the same day. president bush made a public revelation about the program in september of 2006, the c. i itself also found that it hadn't briefed president bush on the program until years later. i thought there would be real bipartisan outrage at the fact that the c, i a knowingly provided false information. presently my states,

and of course, congress and the department of justice officials like michael hayden, a former and her se, and c i a chief have downplayed the issue. it was, see i officers and actually i officers for the most part on television, continuing to push the same misinformation. and then we have a real accountability crisis in our country. you know, the c i, director, was trying to mislead again. the president, congress and american people and their 0 consequences for that ah, germany has also been affected. the war on terror is filling the ranks of potential terrorist attackers. among them was on the summary who murdered 12 people in berlin in 2016. despite the fact that german intelligence had informants among the people he associated with the happened in visor, austin, london. we had information from the states intelligence agency of mecklenburg, western pomeranian. it's an informant, apparently said that honest summary had connections to a large family in berlin. that itself was said to have connections to organized

crime. we hadn't, laur enforcement couldn't follow up in time just because the state intelligence agency didn't disclose the info nation from what soon as possible. give me information that could have saved lives wasn't revealed even after the attack that problem. the problem is that the question of whether henri had accomplished is in the attack, has been completely sidelines. there's a very real danger that suspected accomplices. a still out there. information about undercover informants remain secret. meanwhile, potential accomplices are spared falmouth and sweden, and as i was also on the 2nd investigative committee into the nsu carousel and experienced exactly the same thing, there paula montague makers have no insightful, very little insight into the activities of informants when happens, the committee was also denied the opportunity to call as

a witness the leader of the informants who was presumably directly involved with on a summary, we filed a complaint with the federal constitutional court, but it was unsuccessful for cries. in february 2021. the german constitutional court decided that a person deploying informants was not accountable to parliament yet, so i'm glad to hear from zayden their goals and quality. the soon for garish. from the point of view of the former government was on the court ruled that the whole landscape of secret informants could completely escape parliamentary oversight miles. it's not an, in my opinion, that's an act of madness. so i know it de legitimizes the whole field, a jesus godson, but i serve through it to discuss this is dawn, especially in the difficult times we're living through. i think it's a serious mistake for our constitutional state and should be of a fee law. him in blake of one of extra i do believe that we need intelligence services instant us because it's just objectively the case that there are massive attacks on our rule of law is gone. our country and on your, on bus, you from all sorts of places and zanna, gretsch, daughter of the london of old bar gift germany is an intelligence battlefield,

with russian chinese, iranian turkish and american operative spying and violating german laws. skip when it comes to the politics of security, there are many more actors than there used to be from. well, those actors did exist in the past, but they weren't as relevant as the big players. always play. in fact, it would have been wise to keep a closer eye on them as well. you know, answer shop. ah, so should germany try to compete? ah, he mentioned didn't, and some people in this country have the right for germany to be different than unjust regimes. and dictatorship, you want where people are monitored in a way that is similar to the easter imaged asi apparatus. yeah, i got to go find didn't i think it's going to be a bigger problem moving forward as more popular stations like china and india become ascendant. what kind of ah,

model have we created for them other than they can do what they want by force. secret services continued to gain power and some have developed a dangerous life of their own. only spectacular individual cases find their way into the news. the rest, remain hidden in the shadows. ah ah. is the end of the pandemic in site? we show what it could look like will return to normal. and we visit those who are finding it difficult. with success

in our weekly coping 19 special. in 30 minutes on d w, they want to know with love on banning thing that way. i'm not even have to watch my own car and everyone with later holes and everything. just kidding, are you ready to meet the gym and then do i me right? just do it on d. w. ah, leonardo da vinci's, mysterious masterpiece. this perhaps the greatest leonardo masterpiece and the collection of the louvre. and no, it is not the mona lisa. it is the virgin of the rocks, 2 versions, multiple copies, and a hidden drawing. was there another symbolic meaning to this beautiful painting

that perhaps we just don't understand? a search for answers starts july 7th on d, w ah ah ah, ah, this is day double the news live from berlin. the european union puts ukraine on the path to membership. european leaders approved by fee grant and moldova as official candidates to join the youth in the future. also coming up response teams race to reach survivors of afghanistan's deadliest earthquake in decades. i. it is now trickling into the remote matt.
