also coming up with rushes, war is not going to plan in a new video address. vladimir putin admits that the situation in some illegally annex cranium territories and is extremely difficult. and china faces of potentially massive. why can cope infections that's raising concerns about the impact that good have on the rest of the world? plus world cup champions arrive home in argentina to a hero's welcome. the president has declared a national holiday so that everyone can celebrate ah hello, i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. it's been nearly 80 years now since the crime was committed. but today a german court has found a 97 year old woman guilty of complicity in the murder of more than 10000 people in

a nazi concentration camp. the defendant, a former typist at suitable camp, was given a 2 year suspended sentence. in a moment, we'll have more on what that verdict means. but 1st, let's hear from a survivor of the concentration. hm. it will delay. i wanted to live it did. i did not want to die as well. it was easy to die and it was hard 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 hut. i have 11 great grandchildren in the 11th is on the way it's digital to vase. i'm a rich man. no, i yama. being alive is still a miracle for about an hour. 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 supported him and his family from lithuania to the concentration camp of sto. talk in what is poland today didn't get pasto? sure. when were brought to stuff hard normally was still half way normal. it glided through addressing our own clothes until then we lived with our family in the ghetto, even though we were locked out and you spelt wrong, but instead of, we began to feel that we would no longer a family. i english 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 injured or 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 that all committed a crime, oh, you're in 1st trouble. why did they wait until today on monday about the detroit marriage income on merely filter. you can't tell me fairy tales digressions the biggest fish mellow let go. but for many survivors and their descendants, this trial is sending a signal says lawyer or not visitor. his coffee fonts afford em, this is to nettie, they are not demanding these criminal proceedings as an act of revenge. few new berlin off. 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. the boy missed us for guessing groups. so a german court has just convicted a woman of contributing to the murder of over 10000 people at the stove

concentration camp. she was given a 2 year suspended sentence. i spoke about that with efraim tour of the director of the summit visa tall center in israel. he has helped bring many nancy war criminals to trial. i asked him if he considers the verdict in this trial. appropriate is the best sentence. so we could have gotten because she's been trying to jury know what's best part of the problem here. and in a certain respect, this has been his sentence is absolutely absurd because is to spend the sentence means that the sense will only be implemented. suppose 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 incentives and also got assistance centers. 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 read apologizing for what she didn't know that people were being murdered instead of in a 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 clover. whoa. who is the 2nd coming back of still dos and who was a superior was convicted was and was incarcerated for 9 years. in west germany. so i was saying so generally through, in other words, you statement in general is true that many of the big fish got away. and these people are minor figures. but listen,

the passage of time in low weight diminishes the guilt killers. 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 is involved in these crimes, ah, you know, should be, should pay for them. and i could just point out that in the previous trial of, of blue day also serve digital dos. as a judge and maya goring gave a brilliant verdict in which you slain, she ripped to pieces, all the arguments against these trials. in other words, because of the advanced age, regretted the time that the fact that more serious senior people have a senior rank. and when i brought to justice and she basically said in, in crimes of a tragedy like the holocaust is 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. this was about the romberg trial, the trial and unified germany. and the title was the last. i could tell you that more than a 100 nazi walker, those 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 as survivors from the ravaged, burg ravaged, brook, excuse me, camps in northern germany who can testify against a person who served as a guy go to the main screen. but in the women's chair, i scheduled 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 see past until 14 years ago? in order to prosecute or not, she woke her middle in the federal republic. you had 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 hatred. how do you do listing? like thank god to lawyers who is in college to lead the central office for the clarification that you walk rhymes that his father and jesse gets it were able to convince could shrill who's the director to change the policy and bring people who were, unless a roles to trial and out of murder, but of accessory to murder. and that was actually because of what happened to the plan as of $911.00 the attack of the twins. i was in new york who were living in

hamburg. and the german judiciary correctly wanted to bring these people to justice . but with the session will happen at that, we're actually one of the plays and it was a suicide bomber. the others didn't pull the trigger, but they helped carry out this terrible crime. and by accusing them of essentially the justice they could be brought to justice. and i mean, i'm assuming that 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 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. now

to ukraine and russian appointed leaders in illegally annexed areas of ukraine are being honored by president vladimir putin of russia in a special ceremony. the event comes as the kremlin marks the official holiday of russia's security forces in a video address. putting the paid tribute to russian security services working and the to nets clue, hans, and so on and supper. risha regions the kremlin announced the annexation of the poor territories in september, following referendums, which had been denounced as a sham by kia and many western nation. today putting said the situation there was extremely difficult and that citizens were relying on russian forces for protect protection to do so, putting is trying to rally support for his war, giving special attention to those living in the territories of ukraine. he illegally annexed. i asked earlier our correspondent nick connelly in keith. what he knows 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 lots 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, it 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 israel said this is a 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 up now itself and you might be able to see it's pretty chilly here and it is scheduled to get even colder in the weeks to come for power is switch 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 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 alternative. they have power banks, they basically can organize their lives around the time when power is available. and some people have moved from the 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 correspondent, nick conley in the ukrainian capital. kia is a quick look at more stories making headlines around the world. pakistan says it's special forces of retaken a security facility seized by the taliban. it's unclear how many people died in the operation. telephone militants held at an interrogation center, overpowered police, and took them hostage on sunday. they were demanding say passage to neighboring afghanistan. former movie producer harvey weinstein has been found guilty in the 2nd rape trial. a jury in los angeles found the 7 year old guilty of the rape and a sexual assault of one of his 4 accusers. he's already serving a 23 year sentence for similar charges after being convicted by a court in new york. thailand's navy says it has rescued

a sailor after 22 days after a worship sank in rough weather with 30 people on board. for bodies have been recovered, survivors of describe chaotic scenes when the ship went down. the navy commander has confirmed rumors that there were not enough life jackets for everyone. on board maker, he made a u. s. 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 panel said the former president intended to disrupt the peaceful transition of our after losing the 2020 election. recommendations are non binding and will now go to a special council appointed by the us attorney general. 5 people died when a violent mob stormed the capital last year. this is murphy false. tyson barker is a senior fellow at the german council on foreign relations here in berlin,

on awed by an audio he told us whether the committee's recommendation is likely to lead to an actual prosecution. well, the attorney general has already established a special council to investigate other potential criminal acts by the former president, 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 bark and trumpet his followers have portrayed this investigation as politically motivated. assuming that donald trump does not end up jailed or banned from holding office, could he and profiting from all this publicity? i mean, this is a president who has thrived on engagement and authorization, and that was his brandon, this marker clearly there's, he sees this is a way and his allies of the way, even his name in the news they, i tried to break most of 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 vitamin 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 persecution in presence. tyson, thanks for taking time to talk with us. that was tyson barker, the german council on foreign relations. faith international concerns are growing over the impact of china's new covered strategy on the rest of the world. u. s. state department spokesman ned price said that any time the virus was spreading and 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 crematorium. it's a facility in high demand. the car park is full and more vehicles keep

arriving. it's been around a fortnight since china ease some of its strict cobra restrictions. and now bay ging appears to be in the grip of a new wave of infections. on monday, officials are ported. the country's 1st covey related deaths in weeks that there are douse over the official count. oh, dear volunteer. it can't be avoided. if you get it, you get it either. after you're infected, it depends on the individual's health. you have to decide if you're well or 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 these 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 relieve 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. garcia with yahoo. 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 a surgeon cases and potentially more debts as it tries to open up. germany's foreign minister is in nigeria today,

while they're analynn about bach is expected to personally hand over some of the so called benign bronzes to the nigerian government. the exquisite artifacts were among thousands looted at the end of the 19th century by european soldiers and are being returned as part of the agreement between a boucher and berlin. on her 2 day trip to nigeria, burbock is also visiting a region that's a strong hold of the terrorist group. boca her rom, she's touring a camp in the north. that is reintegrating former fighters into society is part of the project. the germany is funding to combat terrorism in the area. at bach said the surrender of around 800000 ok. rom fighters gives hope to the conflict torn reach. well, northern nigeria has been a boca her own stronghold for many years. i asked her correspondent flourish chick were whether the security situation is getting any better of the vocal. her i'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 nature and government, not only that thousands and thousands of vocal her. i'm fight as are also coming to surrender the out themselves. and you know, with a nigeria 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 harm. there's also the rise of bondage banditry. so whether or not the security situation in the north east has a, 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 who are held,

who are being held hostage is hostage. so while we are seen book who are ram, kind of decrease, we are also seen banditry on other security problems spring. gop now 2 argent or 2 argentina where people are giving their national football team a heroes welcome. after 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 at the airport. an official victory parade is planned in the capital later today, and people are already feeling the streets and anticipation of that argentina has been celebrating ever since. the nail biting final went its way in a penalty shoot out on sunday. the w's alejandro rebell seo is in one of ours. i asked him about the atmosphere in the city center. his band gather to welcome 3rd national squad in the mood is
