a home. greek emmy pays one or 4 people arrested in connection with the scandal. well ahead of that address by the parliament to president roberta much so that we can 1st join. i corresponded to barbara fazel at the parliament building in strasburg. welcome and barbara. what do we expect to hear from roberto? but so she really has to try to somehow contain the scandal because the 1st people have been talking to or went arriving here before the plenary started in the corridor is off the european parliament a. the reaction was a shock and horror. we haven't seen anything like this in decades. this is the worst. and the timing is horrible because this is the weekend that the, the european council is going to decide about was drawing money from hungary, because of endemic corruption in the country. and everyone here has seen the sarcastic tweet of the hungarian prime minister saying, oh, europe in parliament,

the corrupt european parliament deciding about corruption in hungary. crushed mark is so everybody here is really gob smacked and people are totally r a fight. so roberto met solar has to somehow figure out a way forward how to contain the follows from the scandal and to show all way that did this will not happen again in future. okay. barbara visa were in, i was gonna say in brussels, in strasburg, and we've just been told a barbara that this speech has now been delayed. so thank you for setting the scene for us and we will come back to you and the parliament in the course of the program . thank you so much gonna while the european union is considering further sanctions against iran over human rights abuses of his comes after iranian authorities executed a 2nd demonstrator linked to anti government protest. but you just measured ray, that raw nevada was convicted for, allegedly stabbing it to 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 at least a dozen people are facing execution. the news came early in the morning. maggie teresa ratna board had been executed after a show trial magic where rights group say he didn't even receive legal council. this low resolution security footage was 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 as say that run of ards family had not been informed. with last week, another young man, most sane shikari became the 1st person to be executed for taking part in the nationwide 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 they have met in vitamins with these new sanctions. we took aim at those who are responsible for these executions and for def, violence against the innocent people on what that is. first and foremost, that evolution that he got gotten, but it's also those who tried to intimidate, have, are punished people and the bit manipulated videos. i'm so she's done order my dad to push coffee. at least 9 other people have been sentenced to death. human rights organizations say they could be executed at any time a camera matina lectures on international relations at the university of sussex. he talked to through magic teresa iran yvonne's case. 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 bringing the case to the court, the accused was deprived from legal counsel as you clip suggest that the whole process took around 3 weeks or so. i mean, this is not really your processing, any sense of the word. and we have also to see this in the broad, the context of legal system and 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 real estate mother, and i think the government does not shy away from declaring this as a, as an instrument to intimidate the protest of the society at large from the protest

rather than actually a careful conduct of a legal process and do you think that 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 unlikely that such acts by the iranian regime would deter in the longer on the protesters. and if there is more international community reaction, an action against gross violation of human rights, i think, protested would feel more confident in continuing their struggle for democratic rights and the change to the political system in the wrong. but a countries looking at imposing further sanctions on iraq. this follows more from the lights of the u. k. in the united states on the 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 united states, given the energy prices following the russian invasion of your train. but the kind of sanctions, which actually seems people in iran would expect with 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 revel, she got the. busy 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 democrats 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 state 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. so that was an interview recorded and they were going to say you live now to the european parliament in strasburg, where the parliament of president is addressing members your colleagues. good afternoon. i think it would be no exaggeration to say that these have been among the longest days of my korea. i must choose my words carefully in

a manner that does not jeopardize ongoing investigations or in any way on the mine the presumption of innocence. and i will, so if my fury, my anger, my sorrow do not come across, please be assured that they are very much present along with my determination for this house to grow stronger, make no mistake. the european parliament, their colleagues, is under attack. european democracy is under attack. and our way of open free democratic societies are under attack. the enemies for the mock of democracy for whom the very existence of this parliament is a threat, will stop at nothing. these malign actors linked to autocratic 3rd countries have allegedly weaponized, n g o's unions,

individuals assistance and members of the european parliament in an effort to subdue our processes, their malicious plans, failed. our services of whom i am incredibly proud have been working with relevant national law enforcement and judicial authorities to break up this a legit criminal network for some time. we have acted in sync with authorities to ensure that all legal steps are respected. that all information is preserved and that where needed 80 equipment is secured, offices are sealed and how searches are able to be carried out. i accompanied a belgian judge and police as required by the belgian constitution to

a house search. last weekend. as a precaution remeasure again with full respect for the presumption of innocence, i have stripped the vice president mentioned of any tasks and responsibilities related to their role as a vice president. and i have convened an extraordinary meeting of the conference of precedence to launch an article 21 procedure to bring their 10 as vice president to an end in an effort to protect the integrity of this house. i was also scheduled to day to announce the opening of the negotiating mandate for the visa waiver report with katara and quite in light of the investigations this

report must be sent back to committee. i also know that we are not at the end of the road and we will continue to assist in investigations together with other e u institutions. for as long as it takes, corruption cannot pay. and we have played our part in ensuring these plans could not materialize. and i must be clear. the allegations are not about left or right or north or south. this is about right and wrong. and i would, i would appeal to you to resist the temptation to exploit this moment for political gain, though not cheap and a threat that we are facing. now i am in politics like so many of you here to fight corruption, to stand up for the principles of europe. this is

a test of our values and of our systems and colleagues, let me assure you that we will meet this test head on. there will be no impunity, none those responsible will find this parliament on the side of the law. and i am proud of our role and assistance in this investigation. there will be no sweeping under the carpet. we will launch an internal investigation to look at all the facts related to the parliament and to look at how our systems can become yet more water tight. there will be no businesses business. as usual, we will launch i reform process to see who has access to our premises, how these organizations, n g o z and people are funded. what links which that countries they have. we will ask for more transparency on meetings with foreign actors and those linked to them . we will we will shape up

this parliament and these towns and i need your help to do it. we will protect those or help us expos, criminality. and i will work to look at our whistleblower systems to see how can they me made stronger. but i must also say that while we can always look to increase deterrence and transparency, there will always be some, for whom a bag of cash is always worth the risk. and what is essential is that these people understand that they will get caught, that our services work and that they will face the full extent of the law has happened in this case. these are challenging times for us all. what i know, and i am convinced that if we work together, we can come out of it,

stronger to you, my colleagues who have lived these days with me. let me say again how deeply disappointed i am. i know you all share the same sentiment and to those malign actors in 3rd countries who think they can buy their way forward. who think europe is for sale or think they can take over our n g o z. let me say that you will find this parliament firmly in your way. we are europeans. we would rather be cold than bought. ah, so we're just a hearing there from they are president of the european parliament or roberta much so that speaking on this, this,

these alleged corruption that allegations are mindful of the presumption of innocence. you're speaking to emmy piece arts in strasburg, where we find her, our brussels are corresponded to barbara vase or welcome back barbara, a very very roberta, mit sullivan at seemed quite angry, very strong words from her very strong speech. she is obviously very angry and she had to keep held herself back not to say something like, she explained at the very beginning of her speech and not to say something that sort of goes across the judicial process. because of course, this is up to belgian authorities, the belgium prosecutor has to sort of look and investigated these accusations, they have to figure out the details. they have to find out who else might have been implicated. whether they're more people that we don't know yet about whether there was more money than the around $600000.00 euros that were found in the apartments

of the accused, the sloshing around in plastic bags obviously. and so this is not the end. but of course, this is just a major coup against european parliament, because if they lose the moral high ground, they are lost. this is really what they are operating on saying that we stand up, we, the parliament stand up for fighting and fight for european values. if people can mock that assumption and, and people can say know, look at yourself, you know, look at what your own people are doing and they will, they really get on the caught on the back foot. so this is very dangerous for the european parliament and they do have to strengthen strings and their procedures against corruption. it's simply can't go on like this. i her barbara, barbara vessel and strasburg is looking to last or is making a headlines around the world. kind of unofficial say, 3 people were killed by police after a storm to hotel in the afghan,

a capital cowboy, more than 20 people were wounded in the attack. hotels, poplar river, chinese businesses, china shutting down and major coverage, 19 tracking act. as it eases pandemic restrictions, people will be able to travel again without their movements being recorded has been growing criticism over the tough measures that lead to widespread protests across the country. indonesia, as governments, as foreign tourists, will not face prosecution under a new law that criminalizes sex outside marriage. last week, the indonesian parliament unanimously passed new legislation which also bans cohabitation, unmarried couples. the concerns of changes could hurt the country's economy by discouraging to a fire hasn't gov, to shopping mouth in moscow. the 2nd such place in 4 days by the fire on monday, destroyed a store in the east of the city that sells, building materials and home improvement. good fathers, a similar fire that broke out on friday as

a mountain north of moscow or teenager in the united kingdom has been cleared of cancer after undergoing a new treatment for leukemia. it's called based editing and involves altering the patients dna. dr. say the breakthrough could have huge implications for the future of treating cancer. o gated a 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 edison. the cutting edge procedure involves genetically engineering new immune cells that hunt down the cancerous 1. 6 months on the cancer is no longer detectable in alyssa's body. i just want it is extremely exciting, 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 helped the children as well that they might, that the children might be able to get cured because every such guy in pot and all these be loser is still being monitored just in case the cancer returns get more, i'll miss roma a science report of pepper stevens. so welcome back to the studio paper at why was the the cert cancer. so difficult to treat. so unless i was diagnosed in may last year with that type of leukemia called t sal, acute lymph blasted leukemia as a kind of blood cancer that affects the bone marrow and then can spread to other parts of the body as well. and now the leukemia targets the body's ability to make

stem cells in the body. these are the kinds of cells that go on to make other cells . and they, and cells in question here are t cells. and the leukemia makes a number of that of adverse or cancerous t cells that collect and a bone marrow and kind of crowd out the healthy t cells that can impair a mean function. now, one of the treatments for leukemia involves harnessing the bodies, t cells to fight a cancerous cells and find them and destroy them. but with t cell leukemia you, you'd be basically instructing the body to fight the same cells and you get t cells fighting each other. so that the way in which the leukemia targets the amine system is really why it's so difficult to treat a so tell us more then about how base addis english new technique target. so cancerous cells. so the base here refers to the base is that make up the pairs that form our genetic code. so that the building blocks of the genetic code and scientists have found a way to focus in and, and make changes to the base. and that changes the instructions, the genetic code can give to the cell. now, this new, these new

t cells that doctor has made from donor cells. they didn't just have one base that they had several base at it. and these new cells could do things like not attack alice, his body or her and healthy t cells. they gave them protection against chemotherapy drugs that they wouldn't be destroyed. and then finally, they gave them the then these new cells, the signal to kill the cancer cells. alyssa, they're not a bone marrow transplant to replenish her immune system. right? so this all sounds great. so when does everyone who needs it gets to who have this new treatment? well, there's some hope around the scale of and then the number of a cells that were rolled out in a millions and millions and receive millions knows how there's hope that that could help with commercial viability, you know, in the end. but it is worth bearing in mind that this research only came to be 6 years ago. this technology was invented 6 years ago, so it's really still brand new in medical terms. and alyssa was the 1st of 10 in this clinical trial. so cancer research was, were,

will be watching what happens with the other 9 patients than it depends on medical regulators. so it's it only at the beginning of the state. okay, good news. so i'm thank you so much for explaining that to us purpose stevens from d. w science. thank now masses are ryan capsule has safely splashed down in the pacific ocean off the coast of mexico after returning from a 25 day test flight around the moon. the un crude mission wraps up phase one of masses. new ottoman luna program, which i had to put astronauts back on the moon by 2025. so think america's new ticket to ride to the moon and back pair shooting into the pacific. ryan nasa's capsule, a ryan makes it splash down or of nasa journey to la moon or ryan back on earth 3 weeks ago or ryan was blasted off to the moon. carrying mannequins wasn't as part of a test run, called our to miss one. we,

the data that's retrieved from a ryan will help unlock the new era of space, exploration, a fly by an i don't think any one of us could have imagined the mission, the successful. but we had a very successful flight test. we now have a foundational deep space transportation system. and while we haven't looked at all the data that we've acquired, we will do that over the coming days and weeks to a u. s. military helicopters and a group of boats approach to capsule after it's splashed down after it's been inspected, it will be transported into to san diego, california and sitting in these missions and nasa is planning to follow up with artemus to in 2024, 30, a historic mission that will take humans back to the moon for the 1st time in half a century. ultimately, nasa says it's plan is to establish a permanent base on the moon. and from there, the launch missions to mars the plan is to get ready to go with humans to mars late

in the decade of the 20 thirty's. and then even further beyond. and we know from what we're finding from the james web space telescope, that it is a very, very large universe out there. 50 years after the iconic apollo 70 mission, nasa is one step closer to setting up camp on, on the moon. and then finally, hundreds of people dressed as santa took part in a charity run, a mexico over the weekend events in zap upon and the mexican state of his go in for children in need of stairs event was cancelled because of a copay. 19 pandemic, which made this years run even more special on martha this is d w coming up next a muse, asia, or china ended up running

a network of illegal police stations around the world parish boundary. we'll have that story and more in just a moment. i'll be back at the top of it out world news and you find more, of course, around the clock of d, w dot com on that the company i'm with with

for our house. oh, emotion or whatever. the genre of music generates happiness,

hormones and. 6 melancholy, how does it do that? we listen, close or 21. 60 minutes w william had a bank on gonzalez was i and was how, you know, if i had known that the boat would be that small, i never would have gone on the train, but i would not to put myself and my parents in that danger thought it's a team that will select even leave who love on center. they've had that one. the ability to give them i had serious problems on a personal level, and i was unable to live there, but it went to go to that you want to know their story into migrant clarified and reliable information for my

grants. imagine how many portion of lunch now in the world right now, the climate change. any off the story? this is my place, the way home just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to go. i'm doing all with 5th. subscribe or more with it of the news asia coming up to date, the loan on both chinese law or anything illegally across the world. and in geo claims paging is running a network of police stations across more than 50 countries to target alleged criminals and dissidence. but how could this, that but grow so why and what governments.
