10:02 am
to a nationwide fall right network. among them are several full members of the armed forces and at least one actor soldier. one, this fast moving story, let's bring in dw is political correspondent, julia. so deli, julia, what more can you tell us about these rights and about the suspects that have been detained? now this was a very big operation that took place in a levin of germany estates, but also 2 people were arrested, a broad one in italy, one in austria. and we've seen that 25 people have been arrested, but that there are a further 27 of suspects in the case suspected of also being part of this. what is being called a terrorist network. and it is assumed that this is one of the biggest anti terror operations in germany. since world war 2, the accused in the suspects are seen to have been part of
10:03 am
a terrorist network that was seeking to overthrow the democratic order in germany. and at the center of this network seems to be an entrepreneur from the city of frankfurt. in germany who calls himself a prince, although it is only a symbolic a title, but he owns a hunting lodge in through india. and he seems to have been the man that was coordinating this network. and part of the network was apparently also a former, a member of the german parliament for the far right, a f d party who is currently an active judge in the city of berlin. but also members of the german army and one member of the german special forces. now the suspects apparently had planned to overthrow the german government by force. how realistic are these or were these threats? well, the network seems to have formed at the latest in november 2021. so last year and
10:04 am
the investigations into the network started in the early months of this year after a tip came from the intelligence services in the state of hassan, especially regarding this prince hind me as he is called. and it seems like this network was actively working to form almost like a shadow cabinet and to arm itself to carry out an armed attack against the boon. this dog, the german parliament, actively arrest politicians. and then therefore, bring about a change in the government order of germany, basically carrying out a coo and the group wanted to changed the government of germany take power with the support of the russian federation. the prosecution has said that
10:05 am
the members of the network had already tried to get in touch with a representatives of russia here in germany to try to facilitate this process. so we are talking of plans to carry out a cou here. now the suspects are alleged members of the so called rice burger. see, tell us more about that. and yeah, i mean, a citizen of the german empire, and this is a group of people who believe that the current democratic order in germany is illegitimate. that the democratic order that was established after the end of world war 2 is illegitimate. and that the actual form of government that should still be in place in germany is that of the german empire. and they have often conflicts with authorities. they refuse to pay taxes and estimates are that around 21000 people are a member, more members of this network. they have gotten closer to the anti corona virus
10:06 am
protest. movements that took place in the last few years. taking over these protests must also merging with the conspiracy theories that are also part of this movement. and they are also somewhat close to the queue and on movement that is quite as significant especially are online. and it is a movement that has been also watched by authorities and police forces. here in germany are political correspondent, julia daily, that thank you julia to china now which has announced as most significant loosening of corona virus restrictions since the panoramic began 3 years ago. and a major policy shift, beijing says not all people who test for the difficult 19 will now be required to quarantine and government facilities. under the new rules, people with mild symptoms will be allowed to quarantine at home. mandatory p. c. r testing will also be scaled down,
10:07 am
but schools and areas deemed high risk will still go through mars, testing the decision to relax. the rules comes in the wake of nationwide protests demanding an end to groan of ours restrictions and more political free. earlier i spoke to journalist robin coachman badge in and i asked him how much of his step changed this actually is where in my opinion, this is really a paradigm shift, especially when you consider where we came from until very recently are basically you had to be transferred to a current in center when you a tested positive or when you were a suspected covert case. now you can cue out at least if you have mild symptoms at home. that's really a big change. also, we don't need to be afraid of, you know, mess, white locked dance any more. i mean, until recently, it was enough that only one of your hundreds of neighbors tested positive for your whole residential compound to be sealed off. now there's none of that any more. and also the mandatory testing is basically suspended. so i mean, some companies,
10:08 am
they can still require, you know, testing and in an elderly home there will be still a testing. but the general testing is basically stop. this is really basically the same as signs of opening that we've seen previously in taiwan or in new zealand. i mean, other countries who also implemented as he recovered policy and then shifted away from it. does this now a mean of arianne the end or this the beginning of the end of the 0 cove at policy? yes, i think so, and of course we never know whether there will be any back or forth. and in us, whether the chinese government will get cold feet and reverse some of those decisions. but i don't think it's possible right now because our, once the virus re spreads widely, it's have to contain any more. and the idea behind off the record was not to flattened the curve or that the curve, but basically trace every single infection case. and right now you already see a lot of people testing positive. but using, you know, self test and teaching tests at home. and they don't report to the authorities
10:09 am
anymore. so now the official numbers of infections are not accurate any more. and i don't think it's possible to reverse that decision and really get back to 0 cove. it, it's just not feasible anymore. the virus spreading too fast. now if i, when is this just public health policy, or is it a political decision? because after these wide spread broaches begging realize the population will no longer accept 0 cove. it we're, i'm sure that the government would have chosen another time of opening up. i mean, look, we are at the beginning of winter and i don't think it's really the most optimal timing of you know, using restrictions. but 1st of all, that the public anger was huge, which was displayed through out all those protests. but then there's another aspect to, i mean just to day or the new train numbers of a china was, were published and they are really devastating. so the economic pressure is also huge. and i think especially the public anger and also the fact that it's recovered
10:10 am
is economically not feasible anymore. it's really not sustainable. i think those 2 factors were decisive when it came to the decision to open up now journalist fabia and catch mother in beijing. thank you. and several of now, some of the other stories making headlines today. us senator ross, our warnock has defeated his roughly republican challenger, herschel walker in georgia, is run off contest for a seat in the senate. is when gives the democrats and outright majority in the senate, warnock fact georgians, god, and his family in an emotional victory speech, he will serve 6 years as donald trump's family business has been found guilty of tax fraud by a court in new york. the former president's company was convicted of hiding money at pay to executives over a 15 year period. it faces a fine at $1500000.00. a judge in the u. s. has
