were a series of people, one of whom is an entrepreneur from the city of frankfort, who is also a prince, even though that is a now is only a symbolic, a title in germany who was, is considered the ringleader of this network. and it's coordinator, but also under the investigation is a former member of the german parliament from the far right. a f d party who is currently an active judge in the city of berlin. but we've also seen a members of the german army and one member of the german special forces also involved in these raids, the suspects had reportedly planned to overthrow the german government. how real are the threats or were the threats? well, the network seems to have formed at the latest last year in november and investigations into the network started in spring of this year after a tip, a came from the intelligence services of the german state of hessen,

and this group had started to organize and to plan a storming with weapons of the german boon this doug and wanted to then enact a basically a qu. they wanted to change the democratic order and the government of germany. and they had already started building up something like a shadow cabinet, of people ready to then take power after this could have happened. they were also organizing shooting trainings. and they were recruiting people, especially within the armed forces. and the police forces people who have weapons and use weapons. the suspects are alleged members of the so called rice burger seen tell us a little bit more about that movement and what it stands for. yes, so i still go means a citizen of the eyes of the german empire. and this is

a group of people who believe that the current democratic order in germany is illegitimate. that the, a kind of state and government that was established after world war war 2, the democracy that germany is now, it shouldn't be there. and that the actual kind of government that should be in place now in germany is still the german empire. and that's why they often refuse to pay taxes. they refuse to accept the authority of the german state. and this is a group that, according to estimates from the intelligence services counts up to $21000.00 members, and around 5 percent of those are considered a 4 right extremis and add this movement has also gotten close and almost infiltrated the anti corona virus protests that took place in germany in the last few years, and has also been under the length of the authorities for a while now. julia, so deli, in berlin,

thank you. and another news. china has announced its most significant loosening of corona virus restrictions since the pandemic began 3 years ago. and a major policy shift. beijing says that not all people who test positive for coven 19 will be required to quarantine in government facilities. under the new rules, people with mild symptoms will be allowed to quarantine at home and mandatory p c r . testing will be scaled down with schools and areas deemed high risk will still go through mass testing. the decision to relaxed rules comes in the wake of nationwide protests demanding to and one of our restrictions and more political freedom that's bring in for being crutch. murray journalist standing by for us in beijing. how much of a change is this? this is a game changer. i think this is purely a pandemic or

a paradigm shift look where we came from just until last week. are we all were afraid that you know, when we tested positive or, or we're only earth suspected cobra case, that we would get transferred to her a current teen facility. and it would have to spend a weeks there or, or that our neighborhood would get locked down. nothing more of that now. and every one who's infected in his mouth symptoms can just stay at home. also, the city wide mass testing is basically suspended. i mean until last week or every 3 days we had to get tester to only visit a supermarket and now basically only an hour, elderly homes or a hospital or schools can ask for a p c artist of the rest. this basically opened it is really a huge shift and also a big relief for many of us who live in china and basically had a lot of unpredictability in our life. now basically we're getting closer to living with the virus. does this now mean the and or at least the beginning of the end of the 0 covered policy? i mean, it doesn't sound like they are covered anymore. yes,

i think you're right. and even though of costa, a government is a little bit cautious in the i don't know explanations and they have not officially announced the end of the record. but for me, it's quite yet because the recovered em consists of re tracking every case and am containing the virus completely. and this will not be possible any more. i give you several examples now because we don't have to test every 3 days. there are a lot of covert cases that are not a report the system i know personally many and every chinese that i know have a lot of colleagues or acquaintances who are positive right now, but have not report the infection to the neighborhood committee or to the health commission, so right now the numbers are not reliable anymore, and it's simply not possible any more to contain to fiber. so basically it's a reality that are, we are away from a 0 cobit and it's of course, a month long process. but i think it's reversible. how much is this being seen as

a public health policy decision, or is it more political because after this widespread protestation realized that the population would no longer accept 0 colored restrictions? well, i mean, officially the m, the propaganda era apparatus saying ok now we discovered that other micron variant is not as dangerous anymore. that's why we're changing our policy. but i think the timing suggests very clearly that it's a reaction of the public anger that you know, has culminated over those protests. and, and i also actually the economic pressure that is also not a to under estimate because the trait numbers from today, they're really em disastrous. and i think there was a lot of pressure to change the policy. otherwise it wouldn't have changed at now because we are in the beginning of the winter and also the chinese new year. the season is coming soon. that's where millions were hundreds of millions of chinese will travel to their home, towns to areas where the medical system is really very rudimentary. so it is really not an optimal timing to open up fat in customer and beijing. thank you.
