winter hair. berlin, a scrambling to reduce reliance on russian supplies. but is it enough enough? the world coff croatia have secured 3rd place after beating morocco to one. the correlations broke the deadlock shortly before half time and then held on to come away, victorious that much more later in our sports. ah on pablo fo lillius. thanks for joining us. german, please say they found some of the priceless treasures stolen in one of the country's biggest jewel fats. 3 years ago, back in november 2019 thieves broke into dresden green, volt museum, making off with artifacts and jewels worth around a 113000000 euros. the suspected robbers, members of a berlin gang,
8:02 pm
were arrested and charged. their trial began earlier this year while detail. these are in tilton reported on that heist in dresden in 2019 and gave us an update on the situation. well, i mean the really, on november morning when it actually happened, basically an alarm was triggered inside the green vault and as were seen there, the green ball typically was the home of the crown jewels of saxony and priceless treasures from the collection of august. the strong and security guards were actually able to enter the chamber where the joules were kept. they saw scene of absolute utter destruction. one of the windows leading up to the street had been ripped, basically out of its frame. and many of the cases which contain these prices historic artifacts were smashed open. a lot of the jewels and artifacts had been ripped, actually directly out of the fastenings which secured them into those cases. it was a scene of absolute utter destruction. i was on the scene as about 10 o'clock in the morning and was just absolute confusion as to exactly exactly how
8:03 pm
a break in like this could occur. i think when people hear about an art museum being broken into, they have kind of like a hollywood perspective of like a high tech operation to get around security. but basically. ready we saw there in the course of the days as police and investigators, really more information was seen more can to basically a gas station robber. there was a lot of confusion on the ground. that's exactly how that happened. and what exactly was going to happen to them all of these jews that we know that a large section of the rules are actually found here in berlin. and of course, that's going to be a great relief to historians and police as well. the initial theory is that on the components we're going to be broken apart and sold, you know, for the individual rules and gold, which have been a huge loss to germany in terms of the significance of the items. because actually the jewels and gold are worth that much in and of themselves. it's historic significance, which is really i'm so key there. and if they haven't broken apart and sold well, a lot of history would have gone with it. and at the same time,
8:04 pm
what we're seeing today that a large percentage of that was found, which is a great win for the police, and the total historians from berlin t w's, aaron tilton, there was sticking here to news from germany, and the country has opened its 1st liquefied natural gas terminal, a key part of its efforts to win itself or ferocious gas chancellor. all of schultz and other top officials took part in the official opening ceremony at the north sea port of villains, half him the new energy infrastructure as part of germany strategy to import gas from other parts of the world. germany's brand new liquefied natural gas terminal. and what berlin harps will be the beginning of the end of its dependence on russian gas. as chancellor olaf sholtes officially opened the terminal, he praised the records, the speed of the build. it was constructed in the wake of russia's invasion of
8:05 pm
ukraine in february. that his sparked economic and energy concerns across the world . the unknown part of young lee in europe, we in germany, are noticing this in high energy prices and inflation. and of course, in the fact that we have to worry about the question of energy security. however, we decided very quickly that we want to do everything to ensure that we can guarantee germany's energy supplied with gas, independently of gas deliveries from russia buff. this is now the new german pace with which we are advancing infrastructure and it should be a model not only for this plant, but from many others. the l. n. j terminal is based in vill helms hoffen on the north sea coast. the facility will allow germany to import allen j from other parts of the world, including a signed deal to import from cut off from 2026. but the project has been criticized
8:06 pm
for prolonging germany's reliance on fossil fuels contradicting the government's climate goals. did we reconcile clement protection and energy transition with combating need? but combating need is the priority. this facility can supply 50000 households annually. and belinda is now planning on building more alan j terminals, adding to a europe wide network that it hopes will help provide energy independence. let's take a look now at some other world news headlines. china has seen a sharp rise in coven 19 cases in the capital, beijing. i numbers of workers there have been testing positive shortly after measures were eased. following public unrest. funeral homes are also overwhelmed, and staff shortages are leading to delays. informations, peruse, caretaker, president dana bodhisattva is refusing to step down and urging congress to allow early elections after lawmakers voted against the proposal on rest,
8:07 pm
began when federal castillo was arrested for trying to illegally dissolve congress castillo support his or calling his removal a to 22 people have died so far in clashes with police well tune indians have gone to the poles to elect a new parliament and a vote that's been boycotted by the opposition and called a farce. the electoral commission estimates voter turnout was just under 9 percent . it's the 1st election since new reforms drastically altered the balance of power between the president and parliament. president chi site has been ruling by decrease in suspending parliament last year. well for more, let's go to sarah marsh. a journalist in the chain is ian capital tunis. welcome to d w. so we're seeing there, these reports that turn out has been low, but what have you been actually hearing there in tunis?
8:08 pm
this actually confirms what i have seen with many of my colleagues have seen throughout a day in the polling stations that they were very, very little of people actually going to the polls even less so done in the referendum in july where china was already considered low with about 30 percent. um, most of the piling station square, rarely there were rarely any people. derrick was very empty. right. so let's talk about the implications of that. so why are so many voters choosing to boycott this selection for their dose following bill the logic of the a position called for a by a caught saying that this whole process, basically, since the paragraph of prism kind of signed july last year, is flaw than the de legitimate that they don't, they don't want to give any credibility to this process by actually going to the polls. even voting for an a position finger. and an are many people i've spoken to with the last the last weeks has said they don't just don't feel concerned. some

8:10 pm
not only will in the end for members of parliament, but also for the president project. so i think we'll nature observe how, how the full effect and what is it being so challenging for democracy to take root in north africa. while the work can, you hadn't made quite a bit of progress over the last couple of years that builder institutions, they had a constitution and elected in 2014. but the problem was always that the economy wasn't falling on people that because of the constitution, because the, the lecture last, we need like concrete measures on the ground. can i make measures and i never follow them. there's a huge economic crisis that made it very difficult for people to acknowledge the benefits of their ma chrissy. journalist, sarah marsh, in each unity and capital tunes. thank you. ah. the world cup reaches its climax on
