a dozen people have reported the received death sentences after taking part in the project. on the remarkable story of a british teenager whose previously incurable leukemia has disappeared, thanks to a revolutionary new therapy. ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. a vice president of the european parliament has been charged with corruption of allegations that world cup host guitar paid huge bribes to influence you policy. eva kailey has been stripped of her powers after investigators reportedly found bags of cash at her home. she's one of 4 people arrested in connection with the scandal. a massive corruption scandal at the heart of europe. that is getting bigger, high level you officials stand accused in an alleged influenced buying scheme by 30

. they, one of them is even gaiety. she is one of the parliament's vice presidents. recently, ivan gaiety had become a vocal defender of the gulf, country or parliament. how are you the nation of intelligent, high educated people. they helped us to use that tension with turkey. they helped us, we have got to save activists, children, women, they helped us and they are peace negotiators. they are good neighbors and partners . guy li, even priest got the at the front runner in labor right. wake up post cut that has faced white criticism for mistreatment of the migrant workers who built new stadiums. got that has denied using any illegal means of lobbying. die lead a means in police custody along with 3 other people. yes, she has been suspended from her duties as vice president,

as well as from membership in her, but then the galley and the other 3 people arrested have been charged with participation in a criminal organization, money laundering, and corruption. the scandal is the rocking the european union. we are very much heartily concerned with these new white they have to i have to act according not only will the facts but the proven evidence, her position, ready, ready, ready, grieve, aggression, such grave and massive or corrupt. and is obviously not only an individual problem, but it really shakes institution. and it is an issue that has to be dealt with air and the highest level and in the most urgent way now. but as the investigation focuses on, long standing allegations that got there but influence to host the world, got the gift is likely to raise questions on how countries like got there will have

access to e u decision maker in the future. always welcome rasmus anderson who is a green member of the european parliament to welcome to d w. and let's start with hearing from one of your green party colleagues and german foreign minister adelina babel. i mean, she's completely right to them if criticized. also the situation, i mean if we're facing a big political scandal here in the parliament and hopefully it will be investigated soon. and we will also put some measures forward to fight corruption and to yes or strengthen and protect european democracy. yeah, that was going to play a clip with her talking about of yours. credibility being at stake a. do you think that's that's, that's a fair comment towards it. somewhat overblown is your,

it's credible lobby and colleagues here in the parliament. and this is really serious and this is a crisis for european democracy. so this is why i think an alan of iraq is completely right and the parliament needs to do everything to protect democracy and to strengthen our anti corruption measures. so ahead of an investigation actually taking place you, you the garbage you regardless as a crisis for european democracy, those are your words. yes, it's a big crisis. i mean, it's not normal that we have members of the parliament, but also as it seems, staff of different political members of the parliament being corrupted and influencing the political debate about the situation in an important country like a task. so this is really something we need to take serious and where we need to also come forward, maybe with an inquiry committee so that all facts will be presented and we will

have more clarity soon. because presumably that the, the, the question must then be asked, is this likely to be an isolated incident nobody knows, to be very honest with you. i mean, i'm quite sure that 99 percent of the colleagues are in the parliament of fighting each day. 70 or 80 hours a week to fight for our commonwealth and for europe in democracy. but as it stands now, we can't be sure that the maybe not other cases coming up this week, hopefully not. but as it seems right now, everything is possible and we need to be prepared right now. today they commission president, found a line listed areas, a corporation with guitar, including climate and energy, for example. so should the a, you now be reviewing its relations with guitar. we need to analyze all nationals,

and of course also all agreements put in place with countries like cuts on now and really need to investigate on where maybe cuts out influence the political process when it comes to other political measures. the size of the resolution you voted on looking on the human rights situation. so this is serious and we really need to take, take us the time to analyze this together and to put strong measures forward. my feeling is not that there had been like corruption that other places, but we need to investigate it now. and if you would have asked me on thursday, if i would thought that this would be possible, that vice president really will be corrupted in a way like like we know she, she is, i wouldn't, i would have refused it so, so now it's time to investigate into any lice and then to come up with the national so what before she believe therefore necessary to strengthen the a you against corruption to prevent this sort of thing from happening again.

well, i think that the european parliament decides of other parliaments already have strong transparency rules and place, but they are not in line for thought countries. and this is what i think we need to do now. so that each member of the parliament also has to come up with meetings they have with like officials from 3rd countries. i think we need an ethics body and i really think we need an inquiry committee now to investigate all the different aspects in this case. so that we can be sure that we are putting the right mess up in place afterwards. the final question that i'm looking at is from the outside, what would you say to me, to euro skeptics or critics of the european union who see themselves as being vindicated? by this scandal,

the difference from as strong european democracy. and maybe also some autocrats like victim on within the european union is that we are having public health priority is which actually are able in investigating and. and we know that the rule of law and european democracy will be protected and will survive. and the difference is not that things like this content in the democracy. but we know that we have authority some type for investigating and they will put the right things forward. and actually like the investigations also again, if our kaylee is a good example for that, our institutions actually are working. and we also need to ensure that we have strong european institutions to investigate corruption like this could talk to thank you so much for joining us. a green m e p rasmus anderson thank you. the orphan unit is considering further sanctions against iran over human rights

abuses. and this comes after raining authorities executed a 2nd demonstrator link to anti government pro protests, but id rather run abad, was convicted for allegedly suffering at 2 security officers to death during demonstrations. human rights groups have warned that protesters are being sentenced to death after sham trials. with no due process, they estimate that at least a dozen people are fighting execution. the news came early in the morning. magic razor off numbered, had been executed. after a show trial, magic rights group say he didn't even receive legal council. this low resolution security footage. what's considered enough evidence to convict him? the court claims chose the 23 year old attacking to members of a pro government militia. the young man shown here in a private video was charged at the end of november. he was hanged less than a month later. active, a se,

that run of ards family had not been informed which is only wilson's last week. another young man, most sane shikari, us, became the 1st person to be executed for taking part in the nation wide protests. as a result, thousands of iranians took to the street and cities across the country to once again demand an end to the islamic leadership. foreign ministers meeting in brussels sharply criticized the executions. germany's top diplomat on elena burbock said, europe is on the side of the innocent and iran, you haven't gotten back to lunch with these new sanctions. we took him at those who are responsible for these executions and for def, violence against the innocent people on what that is. first and foremost, that evolutionary got gotten, but it's also those who tried to intimidate of our punish people and the bit manipulated video. i'm so she's done order my dad to push tough. at least 9 other people have been sentenced to death. human rights organizations say they

could be executed at any time from oh, i miss are, we can bring in that camera matter. hayes, i see the electra and i'm international relations of the university of sussex. welcome to the w, a major teresa iran, nevada, was sentenced to death after being found guilty of murdering 2 members of the security forces with a knife when the crime like this get the death penalty in any country with capital punishment. well, the thing is that this trial was not living up even to the limit republics own officials. kind of procedure. there was no witness and no plaintiff's bringing the case to the court. the accused was deprived from legal counsel as the eclipse suggest that the whole process took around 3 weeks or so. i mean, this is not really your process in any sense of the word. and we have also to see

this in the broad, the context of the legal system in iran. iranian state has already, before the end of 222 has executed more than 500 people and has a long history of executing political prisoners without any due process. so this is more in line with really states mother, and i think the government does not shy away from declaring this as a, as an instrument, to intimidate the protests of the society at large from further protest. rather than actually a careful conduct of legal process. and do you think that's intimidation is likely to work? well, i mean, the protest hasn't have entered the 3rd months. there were already a position of public opposition to the 1st execution of mos in chicago a few days ago. and the underlying causes of this protests are so fundamental and structural that it's unlikely that such acts by the iranian regime with deterring

the longer on the protest. as an if there is more international community reaction, an action against this gross violation of human rights. i think, protested would feel more confident in continuing the struggle for democratic rights and the change to the political system in iran. but a country is looking at imposing further sanctions on iraq. this follows more from the lights of the united states on a country which is already suffering. the weight of international sanctions are more likely to make much difference. well, i mean, the 1st of all, the economic sanctions on iran, as is widely reported not kind of closely observed or enforced, especially by tonight fits, given the energy prices following the russian invasion of your train. but the kind of sanctions, which actually seems people in iran would expect, would target specific individuals, but also institutions such as revolution, gods,

which actually has been recognized as a terrorist organization by the united states. and i think if you of kind of follows the suit and, and designate revolution guys as a terrorist organization that would be kind of very severe restrictions on the oppression of the individuals connected to this organization. but also symbolically, it would send a very strong message in terms of sort of that with democratic struggles of iranian people. but also, i would say in addition to revolution, gods, which plays an active and central role in the cracked on, on the protest as, but also iranian stayed media, which, you know, dan, every other day, broadcast force confession, people with signs of injury on their even body and face are brought into in front of the cameras to confess, to the, to the crimes which has not been considered by any court yet. but these are gross violations of human rights. and i think you can act in this regard much more

forcefully. thank you for that. that's very clear. come on martin from the university of sussex. thank him. early in the ukraine war, many europeans were su, sciatic about supporting ukraine and taking in your crime. you refugees. 9 months said that's enthusiasm repairs to be waning us. food and energy costs rise, and your study shows are just 40 percent of europeans are in favor of supporting ukraine, regardless of the price. roughly the same number, think support should be restricted. germany's welcome to more than a 1000000 ukrainian said money is still living with people who open their doors to them at the start of the conflict. oh yes, i lie, no eat them all alone. we don't give anything away. the day making, biscuits and learning german. at the same time, if ina and her daughter victoria have been living in berlin for 8 months. at the beginning of march, they had to flee from the war and ukraine. since then they've been staying with

hika or we had the element theater. lucille, if it had been just my mother and me, we probably wouldn't have made it. but we have hika. she knows all about the paperwork and has taken a lot of time to help us. ya, we, we really appreciate that and i grateful for it. oh, i don't know what she's saying. well, that out of the mother and daughter have been very lucky in germany. they live in hikers guest flat with a small kitchen and balcony. the one room apartment is nice enough, but victoria deeana dream of their own for warns. for now they don't want to go back to ukraine. hercules blue, ideally we would like to live in a 2 room flat though just a bit bigger. it wouldn't have to be so nice or have such of you. and i would take any kind of job to be able to pay for it. so you should, you'll hikers happy to help them? ha, she gets on very well with the 2 ukrainians,

but that they would stay for so long was not the plan. she wants them to find their own flat also because it would give them more independence. this could see lifting a fair many things that the flat is simply too small for. it starts with the washing machine which they use at our place and other things where there is simply too little space d. i have apple would salinas plots as if they have to move out of hikers place they would have no choice but to go into emergency shelters. like so many refugees and germany, finding a flat and berlin is almost impossible. hika has decided to let them stay with her for the time being in place. so we were simply lucky hung. if an angel came down from heaven and we were lucky, irina and victoria will be safe. here with hiker,

for the next few months. i to peru where the new president is to ask a congress to bring elections forward by 2 years in a blue artes announcement followed protest, sparked by the impeachment last week of her predecessor, pedro castillo demonstrations over the weekend turned violence. 2 teenagers died and at least 5 people were injured in the remote community in the andes, martyrs, throughs, political tension spilling over his protesters and police clash. these crowds in lima, among thousands of people who turned out across the country, demanding that president dina polity stand down. velocity has only been in the job since wednesday. she was sworn in to replace lyft as president pedro castillo after he tried to dissolve congress and was later arrested, outraging his supporters. it. but only that company. at 1st,

we demand the freedom of our president pedro castillo, 2nd. that congress. this rotten corrupt congress is closed, that a constitutional assembly is convened. and thirdly, that peru declares a state of emergency that i the protests escalated over the weekend with deadly clashes in the southern city of under homeless. the crisis prompting bassetti, a former prosecutor who served as custio's, vice president to announce early elections a this cd glass. you mean? like i have decided to try and reach an agreement with congress to bring forward the general elections to april 2024. that was made in the coming days. i will seem to bill to advance the elections and we will an to reach an agreement and parliament on the pin on this. but i think comes in so other bullets what has bullied be got rip within that and they are peruse. right? leaning congress held an emergency session on sunday to discuss the crisis,

but had to be suspended after physical altercations broke out. peruse had 6 presidents in the last 6 years, including 3 in a single week in 2020 the length of deena below artes leadership to be decided by voters. if peruvians can wait, that long, a teenager in the united kingdom has been cleared of cancer after undergoing a new treatment for leukemia. it's called base. everything involves altering the patient's dna. dr. say the breakthrough has huge implications for the future of treating cancer. oh, now gave us the teenager at the center of a medical breakthrough. after all, conventional treatments failed doctors feared alyssa's leukemia was incurable. with few options left, alyssa volunteered to be the 1st patient to undergo an experimental treatment known as based editing. the cutting edge procedure involves genetically engineering new

immune cells that hunt down the cancerous 16 months on the cancer is no longer detectable in alyssa's body as well. it is extremely exciting and so obviously this the new field in medicine. and it's fascinating that we can re directing, insistent to fight cancer. doctors say this treatment only scratches the surface of what base editing could achieve. they believe the technology could help fight a wide range of diseases. and i, i've helped the children as well that they might, that the children might be able to get cured because of the re such died in pot and all these be loser is still being monitored just in case the cancer returns. nasa's a ryan's capture has safely splashed down in the pacific ocean of the coast of mexico after returning from a 25 day test flight around the moon. the un crude mission wraps up phase one of

season and vast full this tournament has been congested, basically trying to get it over as quickly as possible. and on these few rest days, we've seen a very different side of don't have very empty right now. we're at the cornish, the main hub of activity, usually in tow har. and it's, as you can see, very mc hardly anyone here. and also in the evening time, on rest days it's, it's basically been very sparsely populated. this main boardwalk of so has been completely close off as has the highway of cornish, much to the frustration of local taxi drivers and locals. you've told me that this really disrupts driving anywhere in guitar. it's sort of the main road that takes you through doha. and even in the evening, time is hired entertainments on off days as well, but not a lot of fans here to be entertained. it's very cold and off everything is quite cumbersome to get to these fan festivals. and for me it's a bit of a different experience. other tournaments i've been to even on rest days,
