network was made up of both a political and military group, according to german authorities. they had planned to invade the german, born to stock and use violence. germany's interior minister nancy phases said the investigations provided a glimpse into the quote, a bit of a terrorist threat from that iceberg media there could to, to some decent talk who wouldn't agree on a day like today where there's one of the biggest raids against fall writes efforts aimed at attacking of state. that polarization is on the rise and we have to defend our democracy every single day. at school named and v. eden talk ones. the devil. katy of sawyer for tidings. if they had succeeded, this man was to become the new head of state highland 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 ring, lita. she would have been installed as the new justice minister bigot my zak vin

command, who was a member of the german parliament for the far right alternative for germany polity . until last year, she has since resumed working as a judge idabel in court efforts to remove her from a position because of her involvement with fall 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 . and let's bring a lauren's newman talent as

a spokesperson for the armando antonio foundation here in germany, which works to promote human rights and oppose extremism and anti semitism. mister bloom, teller, good to see you. what is the scale of today's raids? tell you about the threat emanating from right wing extremist groups here in germany. i mean it's basically something that we are observing over the last. and also wondering about the last 4 years, we are facing a serious crime democracy, the cobra that makes a conspiracy believes. and also i'm the estimation of brian extreme. and we have contributed to extreme forms of rent because base and especially in the space. they are not just friends, conspiracy, believe us, but also judges former bonus tag members and active form or former soldiers also from the special forces that web part of this network that was prosecuted as a day. and this shows how serious, i mean,

we need to take this threat of, of turning a blind eye on, especially right wing extremism but authority say that today's rates prove the status vigilant and on top of things you share this assessment. i think on one hand today for the 1st time we've seen that lindsey of what petitions like the color defense of democracy. and i'm very happy that today they acted from home that promise. but on the other hand, i think the mistakes that have been made in the past will just be felt like good police work. we need to more, we need listed approach that strengthen the prevention and the radicalization measure and democracy education cause i know why i don't think that this will go away anytime soon. how concerning are the groups tie us to germany? security apparatus?

i think it is very concerning that former and armed soldiers always part of these networks when they finally gets tumbled by the police. i think that is something that's the police force needs to deal with themselves and not just externalize. it's by some of the rates, but we also need better education some sort of awareness within these institutions as well. democracy work doesn't stop within the police who so the thread has been made invisible but by no means eliminated. you talk about education, but there are sectors of society. you know, that the ringleader of this group, he was and i believe in his late sixty's. how do you reach people who are so advanced in age and probably also pretty settled in their world views

with initiatives and education as you suggest? yeah, i think when we talk about education, i don't just mean like a classical school education, but furthermore, we rather need to take all parts and aspects of society. for instance, also people that work the administrator for especially in regards to christ burger ideology. oftentimes they are confronted with this forums ideology in the 1st place when people want to burn the past or, or handle the idea because they don't believe in their existence. german state, so i think that was something were different parts of the german state, administrative body. you should call just much better to, to tackle these issues and radicalization tendencies much earlier before you turn

60 and have a close. well, you are all say that we're in a crisis of democracy in germany. how resilient is a democracy here in the country? and in this, in this crisis, as you call it, i think it is more resilient. and then we like to release in a lot of ways because 1st there was 20152016, the summer off migration done. we had a massive racist mobilization that then truck transferred into the code and then make and then taxes and the spread of conspiracy beliefs. and now we face rational best information that energy crisis, which also draws

a lot of people into conspiracy, believes and right being extreme doesn't. but i think especially the good work for society on some parts. also, the german state has contributed to rather recently and german democracy, including the work of your organization and tony foundations blown title. thank you so much. thank you very much. now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world today. for the president announced his dissolving congress and installing an emergency government, but the congress rejected the decree and voted to replace them with the vice president. demonstrators. opposed to castillo, took to the streets, and several members of his administration resigned in protest. critics accused castillo staging, a qu across iran have taken to the streets again to demand regime

change. at the same time, workers and shopkeepers continue their strike for a 3rd day rights groups say the regimes forces have killed hundreds of people since the protest for regime change began and september after a young woman died after being detained by the country's morality police. time magazine has named volota mer zalinski and the spirit of ukraine. it's person of the year. the magazines said it was honoring the ukranian president for his role in leaving his country's resistance against russia's invasion. the landscape is also received the madeleine albright democracy award for his commitment to defending human rights that the russian leader was making china has announced to it's most significant easing of corona virus restrictions. since the pandemic began 3 years ago, the government 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 cobit roles and significant disruption to china's trade and economy.

waiting and gone queues to get gifted despite foot routine for millions of chinese people is now finally changing in a major shift. and it's strictly corporate policy. china has announced new to lex truths. who are you, would you go through with the exception of nursing homes, hospitals, child care centers, and schools with proof of negative desert resolves health goods and driving calls will no longer be required. people with my symptoms are no longer required to guarantee at government facilities for drivers 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 roofs browser. my main complaint is that it was so

boring when i was locked down at home. oh, oh, our label has to be kind of less complicated now, cuz now we don't need like a difficult with 19 tests to end of the buildings. this the 1st time to go on to florida until the flow for the frustration became visible when corporate restrictions were blamed for a deadly fight. in an apartment that led to red protests across china. people demanded an end to cathedral with policy and more political freedom. the unrest 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. and let's bring in young john one. he's a senior fellow for global health at the council on foreign relations with a special focus on china's health policies. doctor one, you've offered a book on the chinese government's approach to public health. what do you make of

the timing of this easing of restrictions? well i think the timing is very interesting because just to like, a few days ago, the government still talking about optimizing was 0 colby approach. now with all this now, many of the new things to make the way or lose the all this measure it basically the death of 0 cope. so the death of 0 covered and the. 0 rise of covert 19. how do you expect infection numbers to have all? well, according to the meeting, public health experts in china during the reopening, ah, you would be back to increase the co pay. some people even

predicted that in the 1st viral way, we can be of the population. we're talking about a 40000000 people will be impacted. wow. and vaccination rates are pretty low in the country. is the chinese health care infrastructure strong enough to cope with what might be coming their way? well this is the rob, me in this messy and hasty moon why to the reopening we. 5 bond that, that the health care a not rate for days many a hospital was not invest in much expanding. i you bad the beach back to make sure that the rates will be l y 88. in particular that you know only 40 percent of the people aged 80 and

we're talking about 20 people actually on the back. so is this to hasty? is this all going to fast all of a sudden? well that i think that is the problem. might you look at those measures, but they are just talking about how to measure it, but it does not point for both math. i'm proud to read oh, you know, so we expect the local government jump on the bandwagon. relax policy, make sure that it into create a secure rating that the government did not want to be. and in fact, the be the be you or implementing 0 coping jersey. i think we'll see another tightening of restrictions. well, i think that well, even though they want to be tied them, but given that they already, for example,

a bad math e c r testing they have no not going to require. busy the prove next to resolve the requiring the, the, the locked down measures a no longer. wow. so we'd be very good because right for them to be broke that process. i think the genie is out of the bottle and we need to bear in mind that this move comes after a remarkable theories of protests and china. right. do you think people are more likely to resort to protest now given their parents success? well i think what this, the, the relaxation of the policy itself is a response to the social protest the be 10 days or 2 weeks ago. 4 the so you pay

a p, the public opinion to act as a pre act of gratitude to prevent further social protect the so effected that why even to see that increase the take the potentially overwhelming the outcome but i. 4 i think by the math i all in china, social protest song approximately 2 weeks i probably will not be repeated in china. has global health expert young don't one. thank you so much for those types. thank you. moving on, brushes, invasion of ukraine is cause devastating loss of life, but both sides have been secretive about just how many of their soldiers have died

. civilian casualties are also impossible to state with any certainty or next report. looks at why the 9 months of fighting air strikes artillery battles and close combat in towns across a 900 kilometer long frontline, leaving thousands dead. but how many 1000 is unknown? russia stated in september that it had lost just under 6000 troops. but the u. s military says it's lost about a 100000 on the field. ukraine recently said that about 13000 of id soldiers had died in the war, but the us said it's number of casualties is also more like 100000. the us uses a variety of methods to figure out that number, including satellite footage, as well as social media, images of the battlefield. when the you stated that 100000 ukranian soldiers had died of reacted with anger, saying such figures were classified and that the government would release

statistics when the time was right. you later backtracked from that claim. meanwhile, the low numbers, russia has released seen, meant to reassure the public that the war is not a catastrophe. the civilian death toll another big question, the united nations most recent statistics, 7000 civilians dead. but the front line is too dangerous for observers to make a real count. many russian occupied areas like the city of merrier, fall, or mass graves have been photographed by satellites, may hold tens of thousands more, and russia is not letting international monitors into those areas. russia in general, makes no comment on the number of civilian casualties in ukraine, and i'm now joined by the above table. gosh, she's an advisor to the ukrainian foreign minister. thank you so much for talking

to us today and tell me why is the ukranian government so secretive about the real number of war casualties? first of all, thank you so much for having me. regarding the numbers. ukrainian government a so security because that way it's not over yet, as we know from the experience of 2014 or 15 that russia can money plate for this number. so for now, we do not want to disclose the speakers, but obviously we will do it when the worries over when we and the difference between the ukranian and the russian side is that we are going to memory. we are going to a to glorify all here, but in russia, they're not going to be glorified for their soldiers. and the regime in russia

doesn't want to disclose the speakers because it's too dangerous for them because the numbers are too high. and obviously it's not 6000 people as they say, it's much, much more and we count this in on the killed russian soldiers, almost 90000. this is officials to the civil heath graham government. so for them, they don't even take bodies from there. but, you know, so it's, it's a huge difference why we do not want to do it. and of course, this, the speakers might be very demoralizing for our people. we don't have our choice except fighting. so for now, we have to keep this period and we have to fight to end this. i don't want to get your take on the latest developments and the war, the strikes on russian air fields. what do you make of them?

as far as i know there is no official confirmation um from green to you, but i think that again like its not up to me to talk about that and with the people. busy i should or should talk about this. all right, but i do want to take a little deeper even though you're probably not going to tell me if this is a new part of ukraine strategy and defending itself. anthony blink and today emphasize that they us neither encouraged nor enabled ukrainians to strike in russia. he seems to be worried about these attacks. and do you understand that what exactly worried about that right? he's worried about strikes possibly coming out of ukraine and being launched into

russian territory. i think that you clean is defending itself. and if we have a choice to destroy russian military facilities, russian weaponry, then we should do it obviously because this is the threat to us. that's what they're doing just a few days ago. i mean here, and i spent a few hours in the bomb shelter just because russia alone now almost $100.00 me science and that targets or is mostly given an infrastructure, our power plants. they want to know the price of electricity and water and the heat, and you can imagine how dangerous it is. now when it's so cold outside. so it's roughly start getting civilians because they can't win on the battlefield. and today,

russian president vladimir appointment said he expect this war to be when he's at a lengthy process. what is your assessment of the situation going especially into the cold winter months? as i said, we do not have other choice except fighting in and we know that it is lengthy process and in russia they called it from the very beginning, special military operation. and today we can call that war and i think you call this this war this way because even in russia they, they prepare the people. busy for this understanding that these losses, they cannot be losses of special military operations, special military operation, and like any military operations should have some time indicators. but here they cannot lean and they don't have any. so they finally started meeting that this is

war. and obviously if for us ukrainians, it doesn't really matter how long it take because for us it's a matter of a survival. so it doesn't matter if we know have to fight 3 months or 4 months or even a year, just because this is about our lives, it's about they want to us and destroy us. here. a seasoned advisor to the crane and foreign minister. we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much for your time. thank you. and if lake will remain as germany coach, despite their 2nd straight exit from the world, come during the group stage lick had met with football association bosses on wednesday in order to assess what went wrong at the world cup and guitar. the pressure will now be on the coach to turn around germany's fortunes for the 2024 euros which the country will host itself. teams technical director,

automobile had already been fired in the wake of the early world. come back and without you're up to date. conflict don't is up next to our guests. as belarus opposition spokesman frantically at shortcut. i'm the co furnished. i will see you at the top of the next hour with ah, with

ah, ah, conflict zone refresh banner g belittles has supported russia since the start of the war in ukraine. but is that support to be sent to escalate into something more active from us? we are ciocca, he's chief political advisor, to bela lucian,

opposition, meter threat lamasta's kind of sky up. she claims to be the national leader of bella luce, but how legitimate is her claim? with dw, with hanging again, they get all the harvesters or immigrants going. if they come in or everything you enjoy, eating at home with your family, was harvested by people who are being exploited. then i dc and we're gonna need to, we can keep doing what we're doing the classes up with. we need to be commit sustainable as possible. and that's why you're green revolutionaries absolutely necessary. europe revealed to future is being determined. now, our documentary theories will show you how people,
