in a nazi concentration camp. the defendant, a former typist at stood off concentration camp, was given a 2 year suspended sentence. it roll delay. i wanted to live in. i did not want to die as well. it was easy to die and it was harder to live live. maybe that's what kept me going like that. i don't know how much i was right in the end of the heck. i have 11 great grandchildren in the 11th is on the way. it is not a vase. i'm a rich man. now, i yama being alive is still a miracle for about an hour. he's one of the last survivors of the shallow. 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 turf in what is poland to day is incapacity. still when were brought to settle, norma, we were still half way normal. it glided through addressing our own clothes until then we lived without family in the ghetto, even though we were locked out, i just felt wrong. but instead of, we began to feel that we would no longer a family identity isn't kind of, i mean, 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 erin,

for us, i wish grandma if she did anything wrong or the old committed a crime, oh, you're in front of a ball. why did they wait until today? oh, let me give out the business. male again, come on me only still say you can't tell me fairy tales. congressional 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 coffee from fordham is, is to nettie. they are not demanding these criminal proceedings as an act of revenge. few 1000000 of it is also important to many survivors to testify. well, that is to stand in court and tell their story persisted because what they also say is, but we don't want it to be forgotten. the boy missed this for guessing boots on joy . now, by a man who's often described as the last nazi hunter, a prime sorrow, is the director of the seamen beeson tal center in israel and has helped bring many

nazi war criminals to trial. thank you very much for being with us. now a german court has just convicted an elderly woman of having contributed to the murder of over 10000 people in a nazi concentration camp. she was given a 2 year sentence, a suspended sentence. i know you've been following this trial. do you consider that sentence appropriate? is this sentence still we could have gotten because she's being trying to juno what's best part of the problem here? and in a certain respect, this has been his sentence is absolutely absurd. we close the suspended sentence means that the sense will only be implemented. so bruce, to repeat the cry. and obviously she's not about to repeat the crime, nor is lula day who served as a watched our broad shoulders and also got assistance. during this trial, the defendant remained largely silent until the end, when she said quota that she was sorry for everything that happened. what you make

of that apology to my mind. it's absolutely ludicrous because if what she apologizing for what she didn't know that people were being murdered instead of in our report just now we saw a holocaust survivor who accused the german judiciary of doing nothing for many years and then only going after what he called the small fish, do you share that assessment? this unless that's a truthful assessment, but what he doesn't know badly is that harper poor verna. whoa. who is the 2nd coming back of still dos and who was it personally superior, was convicted was in, was incarcerated for 9 years, west germany. so essentially, generally through, in other words, the statement in general is true that many of the big fish got away. and these people, a minor fictions, but listen,

the passage of time in low weight diminishes the guilt of the killers. the old age is not a excuse or a reason why people should not be brought to justice. and this is what we all we, all to the victims and their families, that any person who was involved in these crimes no should be, should pay for them. and i could just point out that in the previous trial of, of bureau day also served issue of the judge and, and maya goring gave a brilliant furry in which you explain, she ripped to pieces, all the arguments against these trials. in other words, because of the advanced age defended the time that passed the fact that more serious senior people in the senior rank. and when i brought to justice. and she basically said in, in crimes of a tragedy like the holocaust, there's no such thing as a small car. right. so some 80 years have passed now all summer

saying this may be the last trial of its kind. do you think that's the case? this is over 40 years ago, a book was already written about the i think was about the romberg trial, the trial and unified germany. and the title was the last night. i could tell you that more than a 100 nazi war criminals were convicted in the interim. so i wouldn't run or rush just to call this the last try. i know for a fact that we are busy trying to find a survivors from the ravaged, burg ravaged brook, excuse me. camps in northern germany who can testify against a person who served as a guy was a mess in the woman's chair and his schedule to be brought to justice in the coming months. and there are more additional investigations going on. so your work continues. you have spent much of your life helping to bring nazi war criminals to

trial looking back at those years. how would you describe germany's efforts to confront it's not c passed until the 14 years ago? in order to pressure you to not to walk or middle in the federal republic? you have to prove that that person had committed a specific crime against a specific victim. and actually to know the name of the victim and there and that the motivation was racial agent. how do you do listening? like thank god to lawyers weren't in college to lead to central office for the clarification that you walk rhymes thomas, mother, and jason gets it were able to convince could shrill, who is the director to change the policy and bring people who were less a roles to trial and choose the matter of murder, but of especially demurred. and that was actually because of what happened to the plan is of $911.00. the attack on the twin towers in new york,

who were living in hamburg. and the german judiciary correctly wanting to bring these people to justice. but with the session will happen at that, what you wanted to play in the was a suicide bomber of the others didn't pull the trigger, but they helped carry out this terrible crime. and by accusing them of excessive justice, they could be brought to justice. and i mean, i'm assuming they're still in jail at this point. so are you saying that there has been improvement in terms of the least the legal code in going after the nazi war criminals in germany? no question. this change has been very, very dramatic. if the germans in that change, the requirements to bring that to justice, that wouldn't have been a single one of these trials. ok, efraim sore up director of the seaman visa call center in israel. thank you very

much for talking with us. you're welcome. russia. russian appointed leaders in illegally annex areas of ukraine are being honored by president vladimir putin in a special ceremony. the event comes as the criminal in march, the official holiday of rushes, security forces. in a video address, putin paid tribute to russian security services. working in the den that's glue hunt's class on an operation reasons. the kremlin announced the annexation of the 4 territories in september, following referendums, which have been denounced as a sham by keith and many western nations delivered today. proteins said the situation there in the annex territories was extremely difficult and that citizens were relying on russian forces for protection was low. because do you let's go straight over to key of where our correspondent economy is standing by. nick, booting is trying to rally support for his war, his address, people living in the annex territories of ukraine. what can you tell us about the

situation in those territories? i mean, it is very tough. images have come out in reason, days from mario, paul, the city that was virtually destroyed at the beginning. this war when russian troops took it from ukraine and little has improved there. there's been a bit of construction for the t. v. cameras. but as we understand, lot of people there without power. so that water living basing in the ruins of a city. and anyone who really has an option is trying to get out situation isn't quite as extreme everywhere, but it's definitely not anywhere near where the criminal wants it to be. they just don't have the resources to offer people the kind of improvement their lives that would maybe see them come to terms of the russian control. but more importantly, i think in this address is, was about basically also telling off rushes security services for the fact that ukraine's intelligence is still operating. these places, lots of ukrainian officials who stop working for russia are now being attacked, sometimes being killed. and we've seen ukrainian attacks also within russia proper against russian military target. so this was really a wake up call and

a kind of reminder that he expects more, he called on them to go off to what he called saboteurs and traitors. and the real sets of this, the war that is now gradually kind of happening on russian territory and not just in ukraine. ok, let's talk about the situation and in you, in key of where you are, nick car rushes, drone stripes on the capital. they are continuing, how is the cities critical infrastructure holding out there itself? i mean, you might be able to see it's pretty chilly here, and it is scheduled to get even colder in the weeks to come. power is switched off routinely. it's not back to a kind of time table of blackouts as was the case before these most recent strikes, heating the heat kind of central air heating system seems to be holding up a bit better than that. but largely people have kind of come to terms that have found a chance if they have power banks, they basically can organize their lives around the time when power is available. and some people have moved from big cities to smaller villages,

to country houses where they can hit with wood, where they can set up a generation kind of work out their own kind of plan to get through this winter. so it's difficult, but there's no real panic and people seem to be finding the ways to kind of get round these issues. nick, thank you so much. shar corresponded nick conley in the ukraine in cab. okay. it's catch up on some of the other stories making headlines around the world. today. officials in pakistan say special forces have retaken the security facilities seized by the taliban. it's unclear how many people died in the operation. taliban militants held at an interrogation center, overpowered police, and took them hostage on sunday. they were demanding safe passage to neighboring afghanistan. former movie producer harvey weinstein has been found guilty of the 2nd rape trial. a jury and los angeles found the 70 year old guilty of the rape and sexual assault of one of his 4 accusers. he's already serving a 23 or 23 sentence. for similar charges after being convicted by the court in new

york, thailand's navy says it has rescued a sailor. 2 days after a warship sank in rough weather with 30 people on board. for bodies have been recovered. survivors have described chaotic scenes when the ship went down, the navy commander has confirmed rumors that there were not enough life jackets for everyone on board. with international concerns are growing over the impact of china's new coven strategy on the rest of the world. us state apartments spokesman that price said that any time the virus was spreading, it had the potential to mutate and pose a threat to people everywhere. china is battling a wave of infections since relaxing its strict 0 covered policy. 2 weeks ago. in the chinese capital, smoke billows from a cremmit soviet. it's a facility in high demand. the car park is full,

and mo vehicles keep arriving. its been around a fortnight since china ease some of its strict caribbean restrictions. and now bay jing appears to be in the grip of a new wave of infections. i'll monday officials reported the country's 1st cabinet related deaths in weeks, but there are dows over the official count. oh, here, well, it can't be avoided. if you get it, you get a chance to look. after you're infected, it depends on the individual's health. you have to decide if you're well not woman, we're trying our best not to spread it to the elderly or children. that's all i can say. pressure does seem to be mounting on the health system as the number of cases increase. there are now hundreds of the so called fever clinics in beijing alone, offering people access to medication and medical advice, or guidance. we've turned many empty, makeshift, hospitals, stadiums, exhibition holes,

and other venues into service centers for patients with fever. to treat them and relief pressure on the fever clinics and medical institutions. sally, the high demand for medical supplies has also led to shortages elsewhere. here in hong kong, people are buying pain killers and test kits to sent home to relatives in mainland china. godaddy i with your google, i was worried because when i 1st bought the medicine, i heard that delivery back home could take up to a month. but right now the only thing we can do is send medication as soon as possible. there is nothing else we can do. health experts have said publicly that china could see infections peak in a month or 2. but the coming weeks will show just how well prepared the country is to cope with the surgeon cases and potentially more debts as it tries to open up. in the next hour, germany's foreign ministers expected to personally hand over some so called benign

bronzes to the nigerian government. the artifacts were among thousands looted at the end of the 19th century by european soldiers and are being returned as part of an agreement between a boucher and berlin. bach is on a 2 day trip to nigeria and is also visiting a region that's a strong hold of the terrorist group. boca rom, during a camp in the northeast that is reintegrating former fighters into society. it's part of a project that germany is funding to combat terrorism in the area of offset. the surrender of around a 100000 boca rum fighters gives hope to the conflict torn regions. while northern nigeria has been a bulk of rom stronghold for many years, i asked her correspondent flourish trick were whether the security situation is getting any better. the vocal her m situation appears to have improved. it's been a long time since we heard of any bomb blast any bomb attacks in the northeastern

region. and we're also seeing communities being regained by the name to round government. not only that thousands and thousands of vocal her arm fighters are also coming to surrender. the out themselves and you know, within andrea here, they call them repentant terrorists. of course one can't argue with that, that is true or not. now i'm about the security situation in general. well, we are seeing or what seems to be an improvement when it comes to book or her rom this, or saw the rise of bondage banditry. so whether or not the security situation in the north east has, has improved in general. i'm. i'm not sure, i'm sure many people will not agree to that because the kidnapping has become in many, you know, it kidnapping for are some evil kid not am killing. those were held who have been held hostages hostage. so while we are seen book,

we're around kind of decrease where also seen bandage and other security problems spring gop steve asked committee investigating the january 6th capital riot has recommended that charges be brought against donald trump for inciting an insurrection and obstructing an official proceeding. the democratic lead panels said the former president intended to disrupt the peaceful transition of power after losing the 2020 election recommendations are non binding and will now go to his special council appointed by the u. s. attorney general. 5 people died when a violent mob stormed the capitol last year. this is murphy hoff spring and tyson barker here. he's a senior fellow at the german council on foreign relations in berlin. tyson, do you think the attorney general in the us will actually end up prosecuting donald trump on these charges? well, the attorney general has already established

a special council to investigate other potential criminal acts by the former president. a specifically around the mishandling of classified information at his private residence in moral lago. this is a referral that they've made on 4 counts. i think this is something that the special counsel, the justice department has put it will take very seriously, but it is unclear as to whether or not they will attend. ready tonight you think it's a part that prosecution of donald trump would prevent him from running for president again. well, there are a lot of steps between a recommendation which you build marshall. so a great deal of evidence of the presidents singular responsibility for this insurrection meant, and even a prosecution and jail time, are not written into the constitution as factors. barring a candidate from running for president and in the past, united states has had

a federal candidates run under indictment and actually criminally charged. so it doesn't seem like it would bargain trumpet his followers have portrayed this investigation as politically motivated. assuming that donald trump does not end up jailed or banned from holding off his could he and profiting from all this publicity? i mean, this is a president who has thrived on engagement and authorization. i need that was his brandon, this marker. clearly there's, he sees this away and his eyes as the way eating his name in the news. they tried to present them and that will be something that will be something that his allies try to take up the next congress when they try to level very similar, although not as legitimate accusations against specifically hunter biden when they look in their own investigation. so this is a way of keeping his name in the news,

and i think that this could help him with his base in some ways to see him as a victim of a at persecution in progress. tyson, thanks for taking time to talk with us. that was tyson barker, the german council on foreign relations faith and to the house argentinians are giving their national football team. a heroes welcome out to the side returned home with the world cup. though the world champions arrived in winter tires just before 3 am local time, they were still greeted by thousands of cheering fans. an official victory parade is planned in the capital later today, and people are already building the streets and anticipation of that argentina has been celebrating ever since the nail biting final winter its way in a penalty shoot out on sunday d w's. alejandro. re basil is in when is iris a 100 other argentina has declared
