russia is a quite active economic in the arctic if you see something that looked like james bond, it has to do with the military. it starts december 23rd on dw blue. ah ah, this is dw news coming to live from berlin. an unprecedented move against a poor u. s. president. the congressional committee investigating the january 6th attack on the capital recommends criminal charges against donald trump. accusing him of crimes, including inciting, and insurrection and conspiracy to defraud the united states. also in the program,

the 97 year old woman is found guilty by a court in germany in connection with the deaths of more than 11000 people at a nazi concentration camp. why has it taken so long to convict and the world cup champions arrive home in origin? tina 2 heroes welcome. oh lou. hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. the u. s. committee investigating the january 6th capital riots has recommended that charges be brought against donald trump for inciting an insurrection, and obstructing an official proceeding. the democratic lead panel said the former president intended to disrupt the peaceful transition of power after losing the 2020 election. i. recommendations or non binding and will now go to

a special council appointed by the us attorney general. 5 people died when a violent law storm. the capital says last year we knew that dozens of state and fed spring and tyson barker here he is a senior fellow at the german council on foreign relations in berlin. thanks for being with us, tyson. do you think the attorney general in the u. s. will actually prosecute donald trump on these charges i think were a couple of steps away from that. i mean we have a criminal referral now on 4 counts for the former president of the attorney general has already named a special prosecutor as well as special counsel to investigate other charges, including the miss handling of classified information from the summer. as we know that he had a information at marla, though that was not handled appropriately. and i think that this will go into the work of the current special council, or after that there might be an indictment,

a prosecution, but the trial, if there is one, is still a good me time away to the house. if we get there to an indictment and prosecution would, would that prevent donald trump for from running for president. again, mr. aguilar, i this is murphy. well, there's no clause in the u. s. constitution that forbids a criminal convicted criminal from running for president. and theoretically the president could or, you know, a candidate could run for office under indictment even after being convicted and sentence. i, in fact the united states has had a candidates for federal office including members of congress who have been indicted a run and successfully win positions. so this wouldn't be a boring offense now. trumpet, his followers have portrayed this whole investigation tyson as a politically motivated witch hunt. assuming donald trump doesn't end up in jail or bound from holding office in some way, could he end up profiting from all of this publicity?

i think that's the more of an important question in this case, because it is just like the to impeachment prior to place or impeachment trials to place during his presidency. this is essentially going to be very much enmeshed in the political process. that's one of the reasons that he ran again, is to get a legitimacy to his claim, the discipline which haunt his faction of the republican party is already kind of giving lift to that kind of case. so that's what he's going to try to do. and that's going to strengthen the hand of those republicans in his space that wanna see similar investigations take place of joe biden state just to give a kind of sense of moral approval house. tyson, thank you very much for your insights. i was tyson barker from the german council on foreign relations. well, a court here in germany has handed down

a 2 years suspended sentence to a 97 year old woman in connection with the deaths of thousands of people in a nazi concentration camp. the dependent was found guilty of being an accessory to murder for her role. as a typist at stood whole camp. her lawyers had argued it could not be proved. she knew about the systematic killings there of jews and others during the holocaust e folder. i wanted to live it. i did not want to die as well. it was easy to die and it was harder 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 in the 11th is on the way it is not of it. i'm a rich man. now, 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 sto, talk in what is poland today is incapacity issue. when we're brought to stuff, hug norma, we were still halfway normal. it like that. we were dressed in our own clothes until then we live with our family in the ghetto, even though we were locked out, i just felt vol. but in stood hosting that we begun to feel that we would no longer a family identity isn't kind of, i mean him now or is mother hannah and his little brother, bella 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 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 helen for us. i wish grandma if she did anything wrong or that all committed a crime. oh, you're in foster ball. why did they wait until today on 11? give out the detroit michigan. come on me only shelter. you can't tell me fairy tales. digression of the biggest fish, my lord, let go. but for many survivors and their descendants, this trial is sending a signal says lawyer or not visitor. his copper homes for them. if they are not demanding these criminal proceedings as an act of revenge funeral, even often, it is also important to many survivors to testify. that is to stand in court and tell their story assistance because what they also say is, but we don't want it to be forgotten. be born this i guess and root

d w a political correspond, julia shall. deli has been following this trial. surely the defendant in the trial has received a 2 year suspended sentence. some might consider that extremely mild, given the nature of the crime. how did the court justify that sentence? and this is what the prosecution asked for as the court to day went with what the sentencing that the prosecution had asked for. and that the majority of the plaintiffs, in the case agreed with the defense of the woman had asked for an acquittal. and this was the longest possible sentence that could be given without the woman was 97 years old going to jail. so there was agreement also on the prosecution side. and among the plaintiffs that this was an appropriate sentence. and the court basically rules that the woman who was a secretary of the commander of the camp, she was taking dictation. she was

a dealing and handling with the correspondence of the commander and her window of her office looked over the concentration camps. so she must have known what was going on there at the time. ok, so there might still be some discussion about the sentencing, the survivor in a report. so i asked a very relevant question one that many people will continue to ask, why did it take german authority so long to prosecute people who were complicit in the holocaust? after world war 2, there were trials. there was a flurry of trials, especially against a nazi leadership and that lasted for 5 to 10 years. but after that, a lot of the trials started to windle and we've seen that not only for people who had important roles and who directly carried out, murders in concentration camps. but especially for people who worked in

concentration camps as guards or in other roles. they didn't undergo any trials until the 2 thousands and there was one case that set a precedent, and that was in 2011 when a prison guard was convicted for aiding and abetting the murder of thousands of people. and in that case, the judge said that he held a shared responsibility towards the victims, and that was the president that made it possible for many other trials like the one that ended today to be possible. julian, thank you very much. our political correspond julia. so deli, let's catch up on some more stories making headlines around the world today. former movie producer harvey weinstein has been found guilty in a 2nd rape trial. a jury in los angeles found the 70 year old guilty of the rape and sexual assault of one of his former accusers. he's already serving a 23 year sentence for similar charges. after being convicted by
