ah ah ah, this is dw live from burly german authorities say there will make more arrests one day on from the biggest anti terror operation in decade. 25 people remain in custody of the raids across several cities. germany's top prosecute assess the suspects, are part of a far right group that includes a former m,

p and members of the military. the biggest financial fraud and german history comes to court in munich, 2 and a half years after the collapse of wire card prostitutes aimed to prove that former executives worked to hide $1900000000.00 euros in missing revenue. plus, russian president vladimir putin. rules are calling up more troops for now, but admits the war and ukraine could be a quote long process. ah, i'm glad else as well come to the program. in germany, dozens of people remain in custody after raids across the country. on wednesday, the targets were suspected supporters of a far right movement that rejects the legitimacy of the german state. the federal

prosecutor set those detained fantasized about forming a new german army and installing a minor aristocrat as leader of the country. it is the biggest anti terrorism rate in germany for many years on wednesday morning, some 3000 police raid at more than a 100 properties in several german states and arrested 25 people. all of them suspected members, all supporters of the so called case book are 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 vice burger ideology as well as the queue on an ideology speaker, if you look here, so leader, 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 fairs. i said the investigations provided a glimpse into the quote, a best of a terrorist threat from that iceberg. amelia, they're kind of a some decent tot 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 and v eden tag 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 command, 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 at the berlin 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 burger warren. this joining us now from london this year. it messes with the institute for strategic dialogue and author of the book going god, the secret social lives of extra monsieur hastily rice burger movement been us

underestimated well to some extent. yes. i would say that the authorities in germany have increasingly focused, also on that ice for the movement. and they created actually a new category for classifying anti government extremism, or they call it democracy. it legitimizing extremism last year in 2021. so that has been rising awareness because the movement has grown and has expanded massively over the last few years. the origins of that iceberg and movement are already in the, in the 1980s. but reading the last few years, they have really gained ground and have also become more dangerous, and radicalized towards violence. ok, you say that become more dangerous. how dangerous ave they are a? well, the problem is that we have in germany, we have a 20 around $20000.00, i still go and 5 percent of these are estimated to be prone to violence according

to the police and to the security services. so these aren't that, that means we have at least 22500 people who might be prone. and of course in this plot, we saw that there is a very strong overlap also with the q. and on the contrary, smith, community of q and non, where we have also seen a high willingness to resort to, to violence, not just in germany, but also abroad in the us. of course, we had the ties to the january, 6 storming a capital riots. and in germany we also this is not completely new because even a few months before the capital riots are there was an attempted storming of the german parliament. and there was a high involvement of iceberg end of q and on it here and there. so this doesn't really come as a surprise, but it's still shocking to see that the large scale of this, of this operation and of this plot,

the people involved the set to be conspiracy theories to reject the modern, the german state. is there an upward trend of the sentiments in germany in general? you think? i'm afraid so? yes, because there is a very, unfortunately, there is, has been now really a rising anti establishment, resentment within the german population. that is, of course, mirrored in other parts of the world, but there is a higher, there's a higher recruitment potential for movements like that. i still get and also q and non. where we've really seen these movements expand a lot in germany, and germany was particularly prone to these conspiracy myths. that arm and of course, combining old conspiracy. midst off that i spoke a movement and wanting to re establish the pre world war 2 borders and not believing in the legitimacy of the, the current state and current democracy. and combining those old older elements of that iceberg movement with new q or non conspiracy made that then take this on to

a global level where they would blame the so called global leads and would also often and t and t, semantic elements to these narratives. now you have researched radicalization, and on all both ends of the spectrum, if you will. so what are the main reasons for people to become really radicalized? it's of course, usually quite, quite complex, and there's not one single profile for people who become radicalized towards violence. what we've seen and what i also saw in my, in my under cover investigations within different extremist groups, is that very often individuals with face some kind of identity crisis. and that can be caused and triggered by bigger crisis. like now with the pandemic. and with also with, of course, the war, the russian warn you, crane and economic and energy crisis in germany. and globally, there has been

a really higher prone this in the, in the population to becoming radicalized. so it's often, these movements often offer some kind of antidote to, to loneliness, but also to uncertainty, to a sense of a lack of perspectives that many people are facing, especially with the social, economic, and also mental health consequences. off the pandemic and off these various crisis that we've seen in the past few, expert on radicalization extremism. thank you very much. thank you. the trial attached to germany's biggest, ever accounting scramble has just begun in munich. the former c e o on to former executives of wire card will take the stand accused of hiding $1900000000.00 of missing revenue more than 2 years after the collapse of the high flying financial

technology company. the sheer scale of fraud is described as unparalleled in german history. this is the man at the center of the case that sent shock waves through germany is financial and political establishment. marcus brown, prosecutors accused the former wire card seo and to top executives of orchestrating a massive criminal act to defraud investors. he faces charges including falsifying financial statements, market manipulation and breach of trust. he's been in custody for more than 2 years . after its founding in 1999 wire card, enjoyed a fairy tale rise by 2018. the online payments firm had become one of the 30 most valuable companies on the frankfurt stock exchange. renault looking back, but very much looking at the future. and i thing, but that then i make of growth in the next 10 years will totally,

i'll perform what richie from last winter's rumors began circulating early on about fraudulent activity, but barely any one wanted to listen wire card success story. it was just too good. then in 2020, after an independent investigation, it became clear. almost 2000000000 euros had vanished from company accounts or only existed on paper wire cards, big deals, faked or staged. the one time darling of fintech filed for insolvency, investors lost huge sums auditors and german financial regulator. baffin faced heavy criticism for ignoring early warning signs about wire cart bound denies any wrongdoing. he's instead pointed the finger at wire cards. a former c o yan masonic who is reportedly hiding out in russia and wanted by german authorities, a loss hudson from the w business is at the courthouse in munich. and he told us earlier about what we can expect from this trial. actually gearhart not that much

on this 1st day of the trial. i just heard that the prosecutor, of course is, is obviously necessary in cases like that. we'll read the indictment and that is almost a 100 pages long. so we will hear a lot of details, of course, in the indictment. what exactly they think was going on at wire card, but are more than reading. the indictment will not happen today, especially that the earth, but since today is also are some are colorful maladies that need to be taken care of. so the main part of the trial will probably start on day 2 to day will be the reading of the indictment with details on that. it is unclear if we hear any words personally from mr. brown or the other defendants allows. a key suspect is the former a wire card, top manager, young mar, solid. he's on the run. how important would he be for the trial? he would be very important. he is obviously the key figure, not in the trial,

but in the wire card fraud. he is the mastermind and he might very well be the only one who really knows what exactly has been going on, at least that is what the defendants here on trial are saying, c o, marcus, brown, and the other 2 are defendants. one of them is the former head of the dubai. ah, the de, by subsidiary of wire card. they said they knew nothing about what was going on here especially see all, marcus brown says that and that young marcella was actually the only one who did all this or who did all the fraud on the books who cooked the books and that is of course possible it is of course very suspicious that a young marcella left or right before the company went belly up took a private chair to bella ross he is hiding in russia is expected in or near moscow and of course the german government wants him arrested. their extradited, but of course in the current political environment that is very unlikely

a to happen if he was on trial, it would obviously be a lot easier for the co defendants or the defendants. now in this case, to point the finger and her maybe get off a with a lighter sentence here, they could prove that it was indeed only him, but so with him not being here. it is unclear what can be proven what he did and what the other stead. now them are early warning signs about fraud at wire card. they have been ignored by auditors and by the germany's governments. our finance, a watchdog bar fin, is a how damaging is this for of germany or germany's reputation as a financial center? good question. some of called it a disaster, a catastrophe. i would call it an embarrassment only. and of course, germany always had a very strong reputation for it's a strict regulation, it's oversight in financial markets. that is a good thing. and of course, this is embarrassing and it shows regulation here was not any tighter or definitely oversight was not any better than in other places in other countries. of course we

have seen similar r fraud cases. the multi $1000000000.00 fraud cases like in the united states or so . and i think it's pretty clear that our regulation is not very easy in these cases . and even the best regulators can be outsmarted with our fraud. like in a case our fall off of wire card, i highly doubt that anybody will base it's decision on trading with or investing in germany on a case like that. and as for all our shots, personally, i guess at these borders did not hold him responsible. they did, after all, elect him chancellor. last out of their d w business. thank you very much. last as take a look now, some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. fresh protests and iran have sprung up at the center of the capital t. ron video was posted on social media, appear to show shots being fired near as audi. square cameras comes as iran state media announced the 1st execution of

a protester had taken place. chinese president, she didn't ping has arrived at saudi arabia for 3 day visits. china saudi's top oil, customer and talks are likely to focus on energy relations. she is also expected to attend the inaugural china arab states summit and a meeting of the gulf corporation council. time magazine has named vladimir zelinski, and would it call the spirit of ukraine as its person of the year? the magazine said it was honoring the ukrainian president for his role in leading his country's resistance against russia's invasion, old bride. published in russia's of president, vladimir putin has acknowledged that his war on ukraine could turn into a quote long term process. he was defending the war to his personal human rights council after the ukrainian military allegedly carried out a series of drone attacks against targets deep inside russia. put in,

went on to say that he would not mobilize additional troops for now, despite setbacks on the battlefield. ah, like many parts of eastern ukraine, this farmer's field is now a battle field. despite recent gains by keith soldiers say an influx of russian reinforcements is halting, their advance of finding char from an enemy has become very active. their attacks have intensified. the aviation is more active, they are continuous air intelligence missions. good and i'll positions were shelled all day yesterday. they're unmanned aerial devices were in the air all day. we're in nearby villages. people have been living without heat, electricity, and water since the start of the war. more than 9 months ago, people jump every time a missile, strikes you to little. sometimes it's really bad. sometimes it's so scary. the

whole house is shaking. it appears her village will remain a war zone for many months to come from a fighting in an addressed was human rights council. would you let him hear putting warned, of a long conflict in ukraine's way? we would easier, especially if that was mistook for our part. that can only be one response fighting consistently for our national interests. and so we'll be doing exactly this. what we did, nobody should ever count on anything else. ah, while russian troops continue their war. ukraine is gathering evidence, including thousands of munitions, experts hope they may 1 day be used to help bring the russian leader to justice or to dubuque, respond m r santa is in cave for us. and earlier i asked him whether ukrainians

seemed intimidated by the prospect of a long and grinding wall. right, so i think most the ukrainians aren't really concerned by the, the labels, the russian president uses a for what he is doing here a, b, it's special, military operation or a war that's domestic politics. them for the ukraine's here is truly, is a war. this does not change the facts on the ground. ukrainians have been dealing for more than 9 months now with miss l strikes with artillery, shelling with occupation ob, terrible, war crimes being committed. there are some large parts of the country still under russian occupation. ukrainians are determined to fight back 2 days ago. i the ukranian president made an appearance at the front of a ukrainian on forces day and said that in a year's time ukraine would be fully liberated all the occupied territories, including a russian antics crimea. but it is a difficult, it's a difficult task. there is still severe fighting, going on there, strong fighting, going on around the town in buffalo, for example,

at the moment where also president lensky said every meter counts at the moment. the russians have managed to take some suburbs there. there has been fighting and attacks on a 9 regents that were struck last type, arch hillary shelling and the town of for the hovel for just to give you an example on 10 civilians were, were, were killed by, by russian fire. russia has been sending in iranian shaheed drones, so the fighting here is still going on, but you trainings are determined to resist and, and to eventually in the long run when this war. now nato secretary general has also again warned about the months ahead in the war. tell us more about that. right, so natal, a section against stoughton back. i said that russia is trying to, to, to freeze the war and fighting, fighting in a winter is difficult. and russia itself has been dealing with some setbacks here. and clearly this did not go as, as the kremlin had planned. this was an up, this was supposed to be a war that would last only a couple of days. now it's,

it's, it's going into a lot more than more than 9 months. so, and what we know is that russia has been fortifying areas at their national borders . russia is seemingly also quite unsettled by a recent drawn attacks of ukrainians in that i have not been claimed that i after ad here, but a john attacks on their national territory. so russia is now doing everything to has some issues with replenishing sharks with sending new soldiers to the front so they will do anything to, to buy time to freeze the conflict and to continue fighting a perhaps another larger offensive in spring course one amongst santa there in clear, thank you much peruse, president federal castillo has been arrested on charges of rebellion and conspiracy . after being ousted by congress castillo, had tried earlier to dissolve parliament and install and emergency governments as
