[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin, german authorities foil and elected plot to storm parliament and overthrow the government and the biggest anti terror operation in decades. police arrest dozens of suspected members of

a far bright group. germany's top prosecutor says the group intended to use force to install a minor aristocrat as the country's new leader. also on the show, china prepared to live with cove it a major policy shift. beijing announces an easing of corona virus restrictions nationwide with less mandatory p. c. r testing and home warranty. for those with milder symptoms. ah. my many cubes. mckinnon. welcome to the program. german authorities have foiled an alleged plot that aim to topple the government in berlin by force. dozens of arrests were made. an overnight raids, the spam, the nation. they targets had suspected supporters of a far right movement, rejects the legitimacy of the current german states. the country's top federal

prosecutor said the alleged qu plotters intended to form a new german army and an est install, a minor aristocrat. as the country's new 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 or supporters of the so called case book, a 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. so on an android, barrister suspects believe in conspiracy myths consisting of different narratives from the rice burger ideology as well as the q on an ideology speaker, if you look here, so either call in and need you to 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 fairs. i said the investigations provided a glimpse into the quote, a bit of a terrorist threat from that iceberg media. their current to some 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 katy 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 under the 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, julia sow delhi, was at the scene of $1.00 of today's raids and berlin. and she told us more about the suspects and their motives. oh, 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, and proven. we know the ringleader of the network is this one, man, he is an entrepreneur based out of the city of, of frank for a 2 year 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. d, w julius, how daily they're now to be as ginsburg as an olsa, who once lived under a false identity among german right. when fringe groups, i asked him to help us understand how people like the ice, the think and what that goal is. the core of the so called iceberg or movement is something extremely dangerous because it's extremely common. our problem is in germany, it's not with this specific group. it's how worse is with, with right wing conspiracy theories. those are theories which we haven't journey since 1945, it's like

a pl logging of nazi ideology. the idea that our germans stayed is not real and authentic and legal state, but just a lot by the venge full jewelry of i. the allies are by some other called forces. the great plot, the great, because bruce, this is an idea. we have a 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 false has been set up by but by other countries, by the allies. sure, sure, hitler promised as a 1000 to years we 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 state 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 of the attempted plot we saw just now to day just shows exactly that those people who are not all like classic leave from the far right. those are at 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 must have joined people who

were like extremely esoteric new agey calls. then you had like a 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 just 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 for us us again, i cannot tell you any concrete numbers. last, if you go inside, this is of course,

extremely concrete goal. the hope to get so just to get people from the police to get people from within the state is of course a and 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 you. the govern. government said that the police raids to day were proof that authorities a vigilant that they're on top of things. what do you think about that statement? i mean, hey,

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. all the same things, the people who were or gotten to day thought us, well, we had a murder from some antique bixler at a gas station. we had a violent death again and again. so it's not. this one event is a string of events, is a way of thinking which spreads at a rapid pace to be as ginsburg author and journalist, i will have to leave it there. but thank you so much for those really fascinating insights. thank you. 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 milder cases. and that mandatory p c r testing would be reduced. the major policy shift comes in the wake of

nationwide protests over strict cove roles and significant disruption to china's trade in economy. waiting in long queues to get tested dis, been full routine for millions of chinese people. if now finally changing in a major shift and it's strict corporate policy, china has announced new relaxed rules. poor york, you go through with the exception of nursing homes, hospitals, child care centers, and schools with a you can prove of negative desert resolves health. goods and travel calls will no longer be required. people with mild symptoms are no longer required to guarantee at government facilities. for travelers within china, there is no need to show a negative dest result, and whole neighborhoods being locked down due to just one corporate infection. that do is a thing of the bust. it's a relief or 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 while you were to hardware. oh, our life has become less complicated now. because now we don't need the negative code with 19 tests to enter office buildings. this the 1st time to go on to flood zone, thought of the frustration became visible when corporate restrictions were blamed for a deadly fire in an apartment that led to reared protest across china, people demanded an end to cathedral with policy and more political freedom. larger addressed has largely been great by the state, but it's not only public discontent, but growing economic pressure that has pushed china to east the harshest corporate restrictions anywhere in the world. let's take a look out some of the other stories making news around the world. time magazine has named val autumn, is the lensky it's person of the year. the magazines that it was honoring the

ukranian president for his role and leading his countries resistance against russia's invasion. zalinski has also received the madeline albright democracy award the his commitment to defending human rights that 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 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 and northern spain. most of the passengers were attended to by medics that was seen and no serious injuries have been reported. the un secretary general antonio terrace, has urged governments to end what he calls an orgy of destruction as

a biodiversity some, it kicks off in canada. at the summits, opening and montreal goods, harish warned, humanity has become a weapon of massive extinction. and that it must change course, many experts calling this summit, a final chance to save the world species and ecosystems. as we know them. the bones of an elephant poach, $45.00 rain kenya. images like these are very visible remind of the thread that humans post to animal and plant life. you for a station changes in land use, the climate crisis and pollution are also taking the 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 endangers our own welfare. we depend on by their, for their food, we eat their water, we drink their sequestration of on the medicine. we

take 40 spend 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 be 2 or 8 am saying saw because 97 percent of the global by a diversity is degraded 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 their 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 sign to say there is no time to lose. however, even if the co 15 participants at 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. and getting our engine from our environment desk is following this story for us. hi, a jet. can you help us understand what's actually at stake during this conference? so at stake of really nothing less than the future of life on earth. and i mean, it's not say that if we don't solve it now, then we're doomed forever. but just that every year that we let go past where we continue, as we decide and report failed to meet targets,

it makes it harder and harder and there are some species that lost forever. so, i mean, this landmark review of the science that was published a few years ago found that nature is declining at unprecedented rates in human history. so, i mean, not from before the dinosaurs, the next thing that we have this kind of destruction and the extinction of species is happening faster and faster and faster. and so that's what the conference is trying to address or proposal table, protecting back to planet bland and fee. trying to push from the subsidy of the way from kind of destructive industries and towards protecting nature. all the sorts of things are being discussed over the next couple of weeks. so this is really dramatic stuff. i mean, you're saying that at stake is the future of life on earth. and yet some people struggle to understand how this is relevant to them. how this is relevant to their lives. tell us, why does it matter to all of us? there's a way to look at this, like on a very, very basic level. we pay for this. we pay when there's kind of, when people go extinct while the numbers die and so on and then have fewer

pollinators to kind of keep their fruits growing and for the next even, and everything. then that means we pay more than yield, go down our prices rise. that's what a relationship is quite simple. but then when you look at which crops actually which foods really dependent on this, then things like staple crops mostly ok. the other problems, like the way that we degrading soils and everything. but things like coffee. if i mean you're going to go down 10 to 40 percent, if we just get rid of all the pollinators and things like chocolate coker beans, they completely gone. i mean, if you had a bar of chocolate today during work, if you had a cup of coffee in the morning, these are the things are gone forever. are the things go and it means that we pay more in our direct day to day lives. on top of that, there's all the value that nature gives us. so things like medicines where we need to get them from the trees or plants. all sorts of things that we haven't even yet begun to discover. these are all things that we're getting rid of without really knowing how valuable they are to us. i believe a lot of the ingredients,

the cancer medication comes from nature, exact diseases. we haven't even learned about the disease. i haven't even hit us yet. what, what more can we do? i mean, what can be done to prevent you know, more biodiversity collapse. so in a nutshell, the big things to do would be stopping climate change from getting worse at stop burning fossil fuels and heating the planet stuff, exploiting areas of nature, and with the beautiful fish that we've gotten the will behind us. if we stop over fishing, our oceans and fish populations can start to recover and people could start to maybe present sustainable, sustainable levels. doing things like prevent preventing all the mining and logging that's kind of destroying anti ecosystems. all these sorts of things. a big shift that could happen through combination of policy, a combination of businesses being regulated and taking the initiative to do things themselves. to some degree, consumers getting rich countries like her choosing to buy things that have less of an impact on do less damage to the sunset. complicated does it, and yet it's just

a totally difficult i get neuron jam. thank you so much. concern is mounting globally over a rise in the highly contagious respiratory virus known as r s, the. it's a common winter virus that frequently causes mild, cold, like symptoms and most people. it can also be dangerous for young children here in germany. the child protection agency is calling for an emergency financial plan to help hospitals cope with the search in infections. pediatrician, jak of moscow has his hands full. currently up to $200.00 children de, come to his practice in berlin. respiratory infections are very common right now. this 5 week old girl is suspected of having an arrest. v infection, viral illness that can be life threatening an infant. that's why the pediatrician

wants to admit her to hospital. the only problem is that he can't find a place for her them. it's like with now call to clinics and need to have a bed where not calling a search clinic and past experience shows that we have to call at least 6 or 7 clinics before getting a bed. or there's no bed available at all. but they are urgently needed because of the spread of ours. v infections, protective covert $900.00 measures prevent the spread of other infectious diseases that are now beginning to appear more frequently. like here in berlin, many clinics in germany can barely accommodate 6 children. above all, there is a shortage of intensive cabot. in extreme cases. young patients have to be transferred to other cities waiting times in emergency rooms along because serious cases take priority. with the engine urgency room for 8 hours, it took quite a while. that's why you know, to stop short waiting times in this emergency room, usually much less than 8 hours. but on paediatric walks across germany,

the situation is extremely difficult. and even if you have a limited number of nurses, some children can only take a limited number of beds below that is a huge problem in but, and children's hospital in building i can no clinic. this is an issue that has been on the rise for yes. yeah. musket beliefs, politicians must take responsibility is in here that they were seeing the results of yes. there are 2 meshes in pediatric medicine through health care policies. and this is shocking, really. and it really makes one sides and also angry wouldn't mask assess the children's and a lesson medicine as a matter of public welfare and this costs money. and we finally found a bed. she has found your hospital place for this 5 week old baby. at least one piece of good news for to day. o. portugal are true to the football world cup, quarter finals after thrashing switzerland $6.00 to $1.00. in their round of 16 match,

it was a dominant performance. portugal took a tune, a lead and a half time before putting another 4 goals, passed switzerland's goalkeeper, young's alma. in the 2nd half, gonzalez ramos was the standout scoring 3 goals. while superstar christiano, rinaldo only came on as a substitute for to go who are the 2016 european champions will now play morocco in the quarter finals. and either the is rainy is no the palestinians field and teams that the 2022 world cup. but the israel palestinian conflict has found the echoes on the ground in keta, many arab supporters and fans taking the chance to show their solidarity with the palestinian cause. meanwhile, some israeli visitors to the tournament and occasionally found themselves being made to feel unwelcome on the basis of their nationality. 2 0, good use and social media showed

people refusing to, to like us to east radio journalists covering the guitar world economy. our job is challenging. we deal with some hates from the other fans here. when our, our people, you know, our crew members, they want to go live on tv. this sometimes they're not attacked, but people go around them and, and shouts, re, palestine with madison, their flags. many friends in cattle have shown this support for the palestinian cause, and on wednesday moroccan players became the latest to do the same after their famous victory over spain. meanwhile, nicholas, 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 riley's, are in category 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 is where to say, it says this woke up, they says they're full of hay to there is this. so if you want to say, veil of ignorance, people don't know each other only from the media and the thing kali's right is all bad or all ours are bad. and you know the situation is much more complicated. the, 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 shot through with political tensions long before it began. and a microcosm of global discord was perhaps always another inevitability at cats,

hawes worldcon and his reminder of our top story at a sour german police had arrested dozens of suspected members of the far right group in connection with the plots to overthrow the state by force. the country's top federal prosecutor says the group intended to install an aristocrat as national leader and form a new german army. and with that, you are up to date the w news. asia is up next with melissa cham. i'm a new contin mckinnon in berlin. thanks for watching and i look forward to seeing you again and the talk to the next out with with
