as emotional architecture is free, believe he starts december 25th on d w ah ah, this is d w. news line from berlin. unprecedented move against a former us president, a congressional committee investigating the january 6th attack on the capitol recommends criminal charges against donald trump. accusing him of crimes including inciting, an insurrection conspiracy to defraud the united states. also on the program,

german court is about to deliver a verdict in the case of a 97 year old woman accused in connection with the death of thousands of people. the nazi concentration camps and the world cup champions arrive home to argentina. heroes and welcome ah i'm fil gail welcomed to the program. the u. s. committee investigating the january saint capital riots is recommended. the charges be brought against donald trump for inciting insurrection, and obstructing official proceeding. the democratic lead the panel said the former president intended to disrupt the peaceful transition of power after losing the 2020 election recommendations are non binding. it will now go to a special council appointed by the u. s. turkey john 5 people died when

a violent mob stormed last year. this is murphy, i tyson bark as the senior fellow at the german council on foreign relations in berlin. i asked him whether the committee's recommendation is likely to lead to an actual prosecution. i think it probably will. the trump, let's say trump ecosystems tactic is always to delay. so i think this will probably end up spooling out over the course of more than a year. clearly this is going to get rated into the political process, and it was one of the reasons that the former president actually announced his intention to run for reelection. right, so i'm just looking ahead to do that potential. i'm here, this followers have portrayed this whole inquiry as a politically motivated which and is there any way that this, an actual prosecution might actually benefit him, allowing him to portray himself as some sort of martyr. i think that that is,

that's definitely the incentive those around him is to instrumental lies this to say, look, you know, this is a politically motivated action. that's what some of his supporters and proxies in congress have done. on the republican side, we assume, i mean this is clear knowledge to this investigator who needs a special committee will be news off on january 3rd, when the republicans take control of the house, even though it's not even clear who the speaker is going to be necessarily because kevin mccarthy doesn't have to vote, we do know that the special committee will be dissolved one of the people who was admitted for ethics consideration for center on the ethics committee and congress will be taking over is the chair of the judiciary committee. so i think what the republicans will probably try to do, especially his allies in the house, is to level the field by looking at those around joe biden to make similar charges and perhaps even level similar kind of referrals. right. if he was prosecuted, would that stop him from running from office?

i mean that he is the a clearer symbolic and recommendation of those in the house who have unanimously endorsed this referral for criminal prosecutions. a, the indictment itself wouldn't do it, but if he was found guilty, that would definitely make it impossible for him to run for office. yes, thank you so much for joining us and outlining that so clearly a tyson baka from the german council on foreign relations in but no historical trial resumes today and the northern german city of it's a whole and 97 year old woman is accused of being an accessory to murder in more than $11000.00 cases. prosecutors believe the woman worked as a secretary at the nazis ho concentration camp during the 1940s or an estimated 65000 prisoners were killed or died of the harsh conditions. off was the last camp

to be liberated in may $945.00. the courts expected to hand down its verdict in a few moments ahead of the trial, the w met one of the witnesses who survived the death cap is well delayed. i wanted to live it. i did not want to die. it was easy to die, and it was harder to live to live. maybe that's what kept me going like that. i don't know. i was right in the end. i have 11 great grandchildren. the 11th is on the way it, i'm a rich man. you know, i, jama, being alive is still a miracle for up on our. he's one of the last survivors of the showa. the 94 year old regularly travels from israel to germany to tell his story of how he spent his teenage years in concentration camps. in 1944,

the germans deported him and his family from lithuania to the concentration camp of still tof in what is poland to day isn't get hostile when we're brought to stuff, i'll ignore my. we were still halfway normal. it glided. we were dressed in our own clothes until then we lived without family in the ghetto, even though we were locked up, i just felt wrong, but instead, hopefully we began to feel that we would no longer a family identity isn't kind of, i'm either now or is mother, hannah and his little brother beth, i left, were deported to auschwitz and killed in july 1944. that was also the time 18 year old m got f worked in shutoff, serving as chief secretary to the camps commander. she now stands accused of aiding and abetting murder in more than $11000.00 cases. the prosecution is demanding a 2 year suspended sentence for the 97 year old. f has mostly kept silent,

stating she felt sorry to have been instilled 12, but that she didn't know about the killing that was allegedly going on below her window for now or what she said doesn't matter. anyway. miss hill, for us hush grimma. if she did anything wrong or that all committed a crime, oh, you're in 1st trouble. why did they wait until today? almost like about the detroit. michigan. come on really still certain you can't tell me fairy tales. the aggression of the biggest fish my low let go. but for many survivors and their descendants, this trial is sending a signal says lawyer or not visitor. his copper home to florida is that they are not demanding these criminal proceedings as an act of revenge. funeral, even though it is also important to many survivors to testify. that is to stand in court and tell their story assistance because what they also says,

but we don't want it to be forgotten. be born this i guess in groups the verdict will be closing one of germany's last nazi trials. but for now, or it's too little, too late. and that political correspondent at julia sar delhi aysa following a vast trial. welcome a julia and what have we heard? so far from court we haven't yet heard about a verdict from the court, but we, it's expected to come soon out of the court in northern germany or near hamburg. what we know is that the prosecution has requested a 2 year suspended sentence, and that the defense is instead asking for a, an acquittal. but a woman was tried in the juvenile court because she was only 18 or 19 at the time of the events. and we know that she only recently showed

some a regret for what occurred. she said she was sorry for what happened in one of the last meetings of, of this trial. and when the trial started in september of 2021, the woman tried to flee a residential home where she was living and tried to reach a metro station. she was found only hours later by police and she was held in the tension a for of 5 days. so there is quite an expectation today in quite some people really waiting for this verdict today to come out. and we heard from a survivor in our report, asking a question that so many others have asked why is it taken so long for juvenile sources to try the people responsible for? he's not the mass murders. yeah. after the end of world war 2, there was a,

a flurry of, of trials, especially against a nazi leadership. but at the trial, slowly dwindled down. and especially people who were not directly involved in the murders of prisoners in concentration camps were not. 2 tried until 2011 when there was a 1st trial and sentencing of a former prison guard who was sentenced accused of uh, having assisted in the murder of prisoners at one specific concentration camp. and that set a president's a for many other cases to then follow, but this was only a recent event. and the case that is being a tried today is, is closely tied to this one president that was sent, but only 10 years ago. and a brief word about what this tells us about the way germany is dealing with its nazi past. now, well, this could be the last

a holocaust trial here in germany, just because many of the perpetrators have now died because so much time has passed . but it is important that germany is still pursuing these trials even after so much time, because germany still has to show that it is trying to pursue some sort of justice or for the atrocities committed during the nazi era. and that germany is still working on this process. thank you. thought julia, julia argentina's football fans have given their national timber heroes welcome miss. aside returned home after their world cup with well champions arrived in water service in the morning hours greeted by thousands of to fans a capitals been celebrating ever since a day of biting final. i went to argentina's way. it's the 3rd time the country has been crowned world cup champions. the last was back in 1986 buddha. that was just a couple of hours ago, a lima talk from

d. w. sport if you to look into the future. welcome, a labor that let us start with the future of the greatest of all time leonor bessie . and that is the question. all i can say is that this entire debate about him being the greatest of all time. we'll never see an end to that. and that's ok, feel for some it will be messy for others. it'll be pele fathers, it'll be my donna but messy, at least, you know, he made his case because that was something that was always used against him, that he hasn't won the world cup. this is a man that has almost wanted on for time champion, sneak when attend time, the legal champion, what is it? 7 bal, on dos. and now he finally had his hands on that missing piece that would come trophy and many also expected him to retire. now from the national team, because they're like, look as, as a high, you know, he's at his peak, but messy just recently came out saying that, you know, what occurred he 5, no, i'm not retiring. i'm not ready. i wanna continue paying for argentina as a champion, so i said todd argentine of hands out there,

keep enjoying this national global treasurer. what about the welcome tournament itself? what sex on that front, especially given all the controversy that there was in the build up to a guitar and during the actual total myself so so structurally fell. they will be changes at the 2026 world cup, which will be of course, co hosted by canada, the us and mexico. it'll be a much bigger word cut. it will be expanded from $32.00 to $48.00 teams, which of course will pose. it's logistical problems and when it comes to traveling distances and but on the positive, they'll be a lot more teams and a lot more representation, especially from the continents of it, will they be a criteria that a host nation will have to fulfill before they can even host the word cup and what role will peacock play in terms of will they work a lot more closely with the host nation and with human rights organizations? and even then we have to be really careful because, you know, felt we can cherry pick when it comes to human rights or picking the parameters. we

can't just say i'm going to ignore these human rights, but pay attention to these ones because this once here, a line, let's say for example, with my, with my national interests or the interests of the western world or something. so we have to be really honest in this conversation, we have to be really consistent in our application of it. and i, for example, just working in media, i'm really looking forward to seeing how even media will approach the world cup in 2026, especially for example, if you take the united states, for example, they, that's the country as well, with a lot of human rights issues, we have continental bay, we have police brutality, we have the death penalty. we have the abortion debate. now there's a lot of racism problems. so it will be interesting to see how all of that will be approached and analyzed, consistency, and honesty. well, good luck with that. i've really been talking from deed of the school. thank you. meanwhile, thousands gathered at parishes plus de la concord despite a chilly evening to welcome the loses the french national team. and i after the last raj and team and balance door when accounting benjamin as he was retiring in
