a new german army and install a minor aristocrat as the country's leader. it is the biggest anti terrorism rate in germany for many years. on wednesday morning, some 3000 police raided more than a 100 properties in several german states and arrested 25 people. all of them suspected members, all supporters of the so called christ burger movement, their goal, a crew data in germany. they wanted to overthrow democracy. the for her wrist as suspects are united by their rejection of state institutions in germany or so on an invoice various as suspects believe in conspiracy myths consisting of different narratives from the rice burger ideology as well as the queue on an ideology speaker, if you look here, so the dirt cool. in an id you review. the network was made up of both a political and a military group, according to german authorities. they had planned to invade the german born to

stock and use violence. germany's interior minister, nancy phaser said the investigations provided a glimpse into the quote abyss of a terrorist threat from that i spoke a minute their current at us and decent talk. who wouldn't agree on a day like today, where there's one of the biggest raids against far rights efforts aimed at attacking our state. that polarization is on the rise and we have to defend our democracy every single day. at school named on t. v eden tuck ones, the devil karate off lawyer for tidings. if they had succeeded, this man was to become the new head of state heinrich choice, a descendant of an aristocratic family from eastern germany, who still uses the symbolic title of prince heinrich. the 13th, the entrepreneur from frankfurt is said to be the ringleader. she would have been installed as the new justice minister, bigot mozart, vin common, who was a member of the german parliament for the far right alternative for germany party

until last year she has since resumed working as a judge idabel in court efforts to remove her from her position because of her involvement with far right extremists failed earlier this year. but the court confirmed that she was released from her duties on wednesday the rice berger at far right extremist, deeply anti democratic movement. its members reject the german state and its democratic system. and are prone to violence. german authorities estimate that the scene consists of some 20000 people. between 2015 at mid 2017 alone. more than $10500.00 crimes are said to have been committed by so called price boca . he w political correspondent, julius ow, delhi was at the scene of one of today's raids in berlin, and she tell us more about the suspects and their motives. we know that it is a total of $25.00 people who were arrested,

but that there are also $27.00 suspects that are suspected of being a part of this network. but this still has to be investigated and proven. we know that the ringleader of the network is this one, man, he is an entrepreneur based out of the city of, of frank, for a tier in germany. but he is also a descendant of a noble family and still calls himself prince, even though that is just a symbolic title until now. and he is the one who was basically putting together an organizing this network, which also consisted of as we said, a former member of the german parliament. but also members of the german are armed forces and a special forces, one member of the special forces. and he had basically planned to set up this network to ultimately storm the parliament with weapons and tried to overturn the democratic order here. and in doing that, they had basically set up a shadow cabinet of people with different roles which they would have taken on once

the qu had happened. then in the meantime, they had organized shooting trainings for the members of the network. they were working to recruit more people in particular, people with a background in police or in the military work because of the kinds of expertise they had and that the network thought they might need. he w julia suddenly there. now, china has announced its most significant easing of corona virus restrictions since the pandemic began 3 years ago. it says it would allow home quarantining and mild cases. and that mandatory p c r testing would be reduced. the major policy shift comes in the wake of nationwide protests, of a strict covey rules and significant disruption to china's trade and economy. waiting in long queues to get dusted, dis, been foot routine for millions of chinese people. if now finally changing in

a major shift in its strict corporate policy. china has announced new relaxed rules . who are you, you go through with the exception of nursing homes, hospitals, child care centers and schools with i. youth and proof of negative desert resolves health chords and travel calls will no longer be required. people with mild symptoms are no longer required to guarantee at government facilities for travel within china, there is no need to show a negative test result and whole neighborhoods being locked down due to just one corporate infection. that do is a thing of the bust. it's a really for residence, fed up about living under harsh rules browser. my main complaint is that it was so boring when i was locked down at home, all you do it to her. oh i life has become less complicated now. because now we don't need like a difficult 19 tests to enter office buildings. this the best time to go on to for

the, until the flow for the frustration became visible when corporate restrictions were blamed for the deadly fire. in an apartment that let do viet protests across china be both demanded and, and due to seattle corporate policy and more political freedom law. unrest has largely been great by the state. but it's not only public discontent, but growing economic pressure that has pushed jaina to east the harshest corporate restrictions anywhere in the world. journalist 5 encourage from a is in beijing and he told us earlier why this decision is likely based on politics and not on public health. what i mean, officially the m, the propaganda apparatus is saying ok, now we discovered that the army, chrome 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 disastrous. and i think there was a lot of pressure to change to policy. otherwise it wouldn't have changed now because we are in the beginning of the winter and also the chinese new year. the season is coming soon. it's where millions are 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 harvey encroachment beijing there. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. a police officer has been killed and several other people injured in a suspected suicide attack on indonesia main island of java. a man blew himself up shortly after entering the police station. indonesia is police chief, says the bomber had been previously jailed for terrorism, and was affiliated to an islamic state inspired group. more than 150 people

have been injured as a result of a train crashing into the back of another at a station near barcelona in northern spain. most of the passengers were attended to by medics at the scene, and no serious injuries have been reported. and the u. s. judge has dismissed a lawsuit against saudi crown. prince ma had been feldman for his alleged role in the murder of the journalist jamal kush oak g. the judge said there was credible allegations of the princes involvement, but he said he had no power to reject the u. s. government stance that the prince has sovereign immunity as a foreign leader. and we're going to go back to our top story today. the alleged plot that aim to topple the german government in berlin by force . and for more on that, i'm very pleased to welcome to be a skins bug, a writer and journalist whose books are based on a long term undercover investigations for months. he lived under

a false identity among german right wing fringe groups like the iceberg to be, as thanks so much for joining us today. on d. w. can you help us understand how people like the iceberg as they're known, how they think, what it is their goal? well, and the core of the so called iceberg or movement as some something extremely dangerous, because it's extremely common. our promise in germany, it's not with this specific crew. it's how worse is with, with right wing conspiracy theories. those are theories which we haven't journey since 1945 was like a prolonging of nancy ideology. the idea that our german state is not real and authentic and legal state, but just wrapped, locked by the vengeful jewelry or by the allies or by some other called forces. the great law, the great, cuz bruce, this is an idea. we have jeremy says 1945. so just want to clarify that said that

this is going back to the 2nd world war and they are saying that the german states is, is somehow folds has been set up by, by other countries by the allies. sure, sure. hitler promised as a 1000 to years you only got 12, so old math is were not satisfied. they wanted more. so in beginning, in 1945, we had this conspiracy theory that what ever stage will be built on top of the 3rd reich. that state will not be legitimate. and now we have something to do against that. if you ask in germany, any new nazi there will say, of course, the federal republic is not our real germany. and now the evil see, the horrible thing is that this notion came into different mil years, different scenes into the bourgeoisie, into the center of society via conspiracy theory. so the plots are the attempted

plot. we saw just now today just shows exactly that those people were not all like less likely from the far right. those are people from, from the center of society, of people from parliament, people from, from a bourgeois jobs and, and all walks of life. so from what you're saying, this is really quite wide spread this way of thinking. can you explain to us then how they're organizing, i mean, they must be aware that they're under their under police surveillance. so how, how are they organizing themselves? it's very difficult to generalize in our movements with so many people because we have all different kinds of groups and movements. i myself, john, people who were like extremely esoteric new agey calls. then you had like far right sacked. some people were more or less normal, neo nazis, as you would imagine them. so they all work a little bit different. and the official numbers we have, like, i don't know like

a 100000 people who belong more or less to this movement. this isn't very loose estimate. okay. just just to let people little believe. you can see if i could, your thought came to, to sort of go in more specifically at the people involved among the people arrested today are an active member of the german armed forces and several reservists. so how much help of these far right, networks guessing from the very inside of germany, security a process again, i cannot tell you any concrete numbers. last, if you go inside, this is of course, extremely concrete goal. the hope to get soldiers to get people from the police to get people from within the state is of course a very attractive goal for most of these people. on the other hand, many people say they would be extremely well connected because it sounds sounds

very good. so we have to differentiate, differentiate how dangerous, how imminent is a user tag. i don't think this is the problem that i think the far greater problem is how many people are reached by this way of thought. and that the logical conclusion is not only to topple the state top of the government or whatever, but to act and self defense, to work against the state to work against the police, the higher ups who are out to get the german government said that the police raids, today we're proof that authorities a vigilant that they're on top of things. what do you think about that statement? with this problem is nothing new. and if i think back just in the last 2 years, we had this horrible mass murder, this terrorist attack by a conspiracy theorists who all the same things the people who were or gotten today thought us, well, we had a murder from some anti bixler at a gas station, we had

a violent deed again and again. so it's not this one event, it's a string of events, isn't way of thinking, which spreads at a rapid pace. to be as ginsburg author and journalist, i will have to leave that a. thank you so much for those really fascinating insights. thank you. now officials in iran have handed down the death sentence to 5 people, charged with the killing of a member of the security forces. it's the latest in a series of hard sentences. the anti government protest of iran's rule is the facing that biggest challenge and decades off to the death in police custody of a young woman in september. the spark demonstrations cooling for regime change today marks day 3 of a nationwide strike. shopkeepers and truck drivers have stopped work in solidarity with the movement. gifts, so near as

a human rights lawyer with the global affairs think tank the atlantic council. i also earlier, there's reason to believe that the iranian regime will allow the change the protest as a pushing full. i think the protesters have been very clear about what it is that they want and they want a full scale change of the system. so what we see right now with these execution sentences and these very draconian punishments and the torture of thousands of prisoners who are being detained is a regime that is very worried about their future prospects. and that's why we see this kind of harsh, clamped down. i am here in new york this week to meet with you and member states about as ahmed republics of your runs multilateral engagement at the un and. and they're very concerned about where things stand. you've talked about,

you've mentioned the torture, the harsh crack down. we're hearing reports of a massive arrests. people being sentenced to death. is it possible for you and others in your line of work. 3 to, to track can record rights violations in iran. yeah, this is a question that comes up a lot because obviously a lot of us are not given access to alleged crime scenes in country where we to go and do field research. we ourselves would be jailed. and presumably not given access, however, there is a lot of open source information that comes out of the country in the form of videos, photos that are disseminated on social media and in chat groups, and also through virtual testimonies. so this question came up with the reason establishment of a fact finding mission in geneva by the human rights council. and there are

questions about how one could actually collect evidence if one does not have access to the country and the authorities don't consent to that. but in this day and age, there are actually a lot of ways that we can collect, preserve, and analyze evidence that don't involve access to a crime scene. do you think that the protest movement has enough momentum to continue despite the violence, the government crackdown that you've talked about? well, the thing that's very different about the state of protests, which is now being called a revolution, is that, for example, in november 2019, when they're or nationwide anti government protests, those were quickly quelled because more than that, you know, reports of 1500 to even more people were killed in the space of a few days by the state, and then people didn't come out on the street again. here we see that despite all

the reports, despite the fact that there's more than 800000 protesters in jail despite the handing down of execution sentences, the reports of sexual assault and torture and enforced disappearance, the youth and many others are still coming to the streets and now it's gotten to the point where workers are striking. so i think whatever has happened here cannot be handled back. and the iranian authorities should be taking this very, very seriously. he sent me a human rights boy, thank you so much for taking the time. speak with us today. if you give me the un secretary general antonio terrace as urged governments to end what he calls an orgy of destruction that says of biodiversity. some, it kicks off in canada assets opening in montreux. good terrace, warned humanity has become a weapon of mass extinction. and that it must change course. many experts calling

the summit of final chance to save the world species and ecosystems, as we know them. the bones of an elephant porch for its 5 rain kenya. images like these very visible reminder of the thread that humans pulse to animal and plant life. for a station, changes in land use, the climate crisis and pollution are also taken a big tall. about $1000000.00 species are currently at risk of becoming extinct due to human activity. this not only threatens to degrade ecosystems further, but also dangerous. our own welfare will depend on by davis. therefore, the food we eat there, water we drink this edwards pression of cub. on the medicine we take for a span 70 percent of cancer. drugs come from by diversity or nature. the u. n. by diversity conference was sent on how to protect 30 percent of land and sea by 2030

scientists stress that this target is needed to prevent the collapse of ecosystems and human prosperity in the future. the biggest threat is us human beings and then less our relationship with the nature changes. the situation will continue to deteriorate. i'm saying so because 97 percent of the global biodiversity is graded as the result of human action. we need to take urgent measures to protect ourselves from ourselves, experts argue, but who will cover the costs. some emerging and developing economies such as indonesia, india, brazil, south africa, and the democratic republic of congo tend to be particularly rich in by diversity. but these countries argue that they lack the resources to expand the conservation efforts. they are demanding financial support from rich nations. we don't want to see a target which has absolutely no hope of implementation signed to say there is

no time to lose. however, even if the co 15 participants had an ambitious target, it can only be the beginning. none of the biodiversity objectives agreed at the 2010 convention have yet been fully implemented by the global community. ah portugal a through to the football world cup, quarter finals after thrashing switzerland 6 to one in their round of 16 match, it was a dominant performance. portugal took a 2 nell lead and a half time before pushing another 4 goals past switzerland's. goalkeeper yansa in the 2nd half, gonzalo ramos was the standout scoring 3 goals. while superstar christiano rinaldo only came on as a substitute portugal, the 2016 european champions will now play morocco in the course of finals.

that things are getting serious and could tell with just 8 teens left and the competition. t w correspondent danya barcelona, has been covering the will cut for us from guitar and she sent us this earlier looking ahead to the final stages of the tournament. now the players have a couple of days to rest and recharge their batteries and for player it's so crucial these days they'll probably get to see their families. but i think in doha, the most important storyline that people are looking at right now is the fact that both my c m. rinaldo are still in the tournament. there are thousands of people who have come here from all over the world. just to see these 2 players in their last dance tournament, it's almost like a football pilgrimage. i mean, the support that they have here is i'm believable. yesterday when kashana and although was warming up, the fans were cheering as if there was a goal scored. so i think most fans right now are looking for the how far they can both go. and if one of them can lift the trophy,

detailing is danny fossil or another. now neither israel nor the palestinian territories feel the teams at the 2022 world cup. but the israeli palestinian conflict has found echoes on the ground and guitar, many arab supporters and fans taking the chance to show their solidarity with the palestinian cause. meanwhile, some israeli visitors to the tournament have occasionally found themselves being made to feel unwelcome on the basis of their nationality. 2 0, good luck. oh, did you own social media? showed people refusing to to like us to eat radio journalists covering the guitar world car. our job is challenging. we deal with some hates from the other fancier. when our, our people, you know, our crew members, they want to go live on tv. that sometimes they're not the tag, but people go around them and, and shouts, v. palestine with by the sign,

their flags. many friends in cattle have shown their support for the palestinian cause, and on wednesday moroccan players became the latest to do the same after their famous victory over spain. meanwhile, there's only gonna be a number of these riley's have found the reception from some arab supporters, unwelcoming it's the 1st time is rallies are in cattle in numbers with direct flights connecting tel aviv to doha. but cattle is not one of the 6 arab countries that maintain formal relations with israel. many people in is where to say, it said this woke up, they says they're full of hay to there is this. so if you want to say, vedo vigorous people don't know each other, only from the media and to think holly's right is our bad, are all ours are bad. and you know, the situation is much more complicated than the best cure for. hate is always getting together, get to know each other. speak, speak to one another. i think this is the key. and now things will not get solved

during a one month world cup, but maybe getting to know better the other side than the standing listening. that's what's important as ever. these tournaments, the confluence of coaches, has produced moments of harmony and understanding. but 2020 two's competition was short through with political tensions long before it began. and a microcosm of global discord was perhaps always another inevitability at cats. hawes world, common them, and with that you are up to date night and germany is up. next of the, the tough me out. ah, with,

with the entire digital world depends on man semiconductor. the nano technology behind all electronic it easy, don't dominate the market. now the u. s. wants to reclaim, is position of

a global competitor. can europe keep made in germany next to the log d, w. o. every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word, always been equal. rico is in germany to learn german. why not learn with him? a simple online on your mobile and free to shop. d w e learning course, nico speak, german made easy. they brief, ah, have body and soul. the houses that daniel leaders can construct far more than just building. ah,

you have to be radical. that's a radical mean. go back to the roof. he is the son of jewish holocaust survivors. how lucky that i was able to build to just present berlin is architecture, is a celebration of democracy and one building. the biggest thing in the world is the spirit of freedom and architect motions. it starts december 25th. oh d w ah, ah ah, ah, the worn ukraine means europe has to save energy this winter. the 1st thing that comes to mind for me.
