government. protests. supporters say their trials were a sham mohammad. amir in the hud am, is the directory favor on human rights which monitors violations. and he told us more about the young men on death row. so he run in. authorities have announced that the that, that sentence out mama, obama glue and mama group, i need a, i've been upheld by the supreme court. it means that they can be executed at any time, but we should keep in mind that we don't have the rule of law and the due process in iran. so, international reactions press shared can still save a mom of about one mamma group on his lives. but again, we know also that the running authorities need to execute need to implement this step, and that is to spread fear into society because they haven't managed to control the process. now are about 4 months. they're still continuing. well journalist

and middle east expert guild us a hey, be told me why we should be concerned about the fate of the 2 young iranians. yes, definitely. we need to be very concerned about these 2 and about probably 20 form more people who are threatened to be executed. and we can see that we just heard of the regime. does this at execution, to intimidate people in iran? we can see, for instance, in one of these 2 men that he just mentioned, wonderful. but lou, his court documents were leaked in october and even there, just one week after was arrested. you could see that the regime said we need to execute him and we need to expedite this whole process so that he can, can be executed and that was before any, any court proceeding before anything even happened. so we can see that the, these executions are just purely to intimidate people and to stop the protests. so

far a total of 4 people have been executed in connection with the protest. you mentioned another more than 20 people. do you think this attempt, by the iranian regime to intimidate the public, to quell these protest will work the more people they execute. it has not worked so far. and we have the 1st execute a kitchen execution on december 8th. and thus with more than a month ago, and you've seen protests since then, just as much as we've seen them before. they were fewer and the few days after the executions, but they have not stopped. and from what i have been hearing from people in iran, they will not stop because these people have set in their mind that they want to. and this regime and just this, these more executions. and the way that families are treated of the people who are executed for instance. and the hammock meet academy was executed on the, on january 7th. yesterday. his family were even allowed last visit and all these

ways of treating people of, of us, but being violence. that's making the people in iran even more angry and i believe that it makes them more determined to end this regime at some way or another will here in europe, there are calls for more pressure from western governments. but do you think that pressure from the west can have any impact on the actions of the iranian regime? i do think that because that's something that the wrong iranian gene has not experienced in the 44 years of they have been governing all these executions. we've had them in the eighty's, we've had them since them. they always happened inside iran and people in the world never watched ever watch what was happening and human rights violations and iran. so for the 1st time, people are watching. we know the names that of people in death row, we know the names of the, of the young man who have been executed. and that is something completely new for

this regime. and they are hesitant of executing if, if the, if will you are watching. if we were on reporting on that, i believe that we would have had a lot more execution that we have had. so this makes it hard of for the regime, it just kind of increases the price of all these, this violence and execution. so yes, at us help. there was journalist the middle east expert guild as a he b, thank you so much for all of your insights. thank you. police here in germany have arrested a person suspected of plotting an islamist motivated attack. prosecutors have identified the suspect as a 32 year old iranian citizen. investigators searched his home in the western rural district. police also detained a 2nd suspect. and he w. a political correspondent, catherine lunkhead, has been following the story for us and joins in the studio for the latest. so, catherine, we understand this was

a very large police operation and it had been planned for some time. what more can you tell us? so yes, the local interior minister said that they had a serious tip, and this is why they still went in at night and local media reports that that tip might have come through. foreign intelligence service is actually the local authorities didn't know that they were looking for poisonous substances, which is also why they went in with those like big anti contamination suits. both men were suspected of having obtained actually rice in end cyanide. so you mentioned these 2 dangerous chemicals, or if they had managed to carry out this attack, how bad might it have been? so what we now know is that there was no rise in or cyanide found in the apartment or according to media reports that just have come out. but what we do know is that

if an attack, as you say, would have been carried out with rising or cyanide, it probably would have been lethal. both substances are classified as chemical weapons, so they can kill you with a small quantity only. they are very, very, very lethal. d w political correspondent, katherine lapka is falling the story for us. katherine, thank you very much. let's get a check now. some of the other stories making headlines around the world. 46 soldiers have arrived home and ivory coast after being released from detention in molly. the troops were pardoned by molly's military junta, a week after they were convicted of conspiring against the st. ivory coast of the united nations say the soldiers were part of a un peacekeeping mission. in molly to metro trains have collided in a tunnel in mexico city. at least one person has been killed and dozens of others injured. one of the drivers is in critical condition, cause of the crash is not yet clear. synagogue president has announced 3 days of
