ah ah ah ah, this is the w news live frumber land, german police carry out fresh raids on the extreme right right. burger group. it is the same group whose members were implicated any boiled pot last december to try and overthrow the german government. when police officer was shot and wounded in today's search is also coming up,

tempers flaring across france over unpopular retirement reforms. demonstrators clash with police in paris with hundreds of arrests in the capital alone. president, my call is due to speak publicly shortly, and the human cost of last month, deadly shipwreck in italy. hard questions over the use of silent policy. after dozens of my friends drown, just a few 100 meters from shore. plus 10 scientists bring the dodo bird back from extinction. while the last dose walked the earth hundreds of years ago before human exploitation killed them off. now of biotech fir wants to be extinct the dodo in what could be the model for other last species? ah! i'm sarah cal, welcome to the program. authorities in germany have carried out

a series of raids on locations linked to the so called rice burger group. that is the extreme right network that was implicated in alleged plot last december to try and overthrow the german government. one police officer was wounded in today's operation on now nina has is our chief political correspondent and i asked her earlier to tell us more about the rates. well thought it is this morning said objects in 7 of the 16 german states and all of them that rate is related to the rice burger scenes or that is a far right extreme as seen. and it is a very big raid. apparently they were searching the objects of 19 people. the federal prosecutors office said this morning that a policeman was hurt this morning as well because he was shot up by a purse new flat. the special unit was searching in the south of germany. that person had had until then, not been known to authorities. they had gone that question. them as a witness,

but now he's a suspect and was arrested on the spot. and german news magazine dash beagle is reporting that the authorities had been expecting some of the people whose objects were search to be carrying weapons. because those people are police people and soldiers who were members of subversive groups. and were expecting the federal prosecutor to be making a statement later this morning with more information. obviously. nina, remind us who the extreme right. right. speaker are well a so called rice burger and that's literally translated as citizens of the right. they are a deeply, under democratic far right. extreme is movement. they consist of several groups. they don't recognize the current german state. they reject democracy as a system and many of them are willing to commit violent acts. it's believed that the scene consists of some 23000 people that is up by 2000 compared to

last year. and roughly 1100 of them are considered to be extreme right wing by germany intelligence services. now this is the 2nd big raid in that scene in just a few months, and it is linked to what happened in december. so apparently the authorities have been doing more investigation into the rice burger seen into the people they were looking into back in december. and they found more suspect. so today the rate is basically a continuation of what happened in december when police don't more than a 100 objects. and 11 german states arrested 25 suspects there. now awaiting that trial. and at the time, the network consisted of a political and military unit, amongst them also members of the jumped armed forces and a politician, doctor, et cetera. they had planned to take the general parliament by force erect a new state, and the german minister, interior minister at the time spoke of a terrorist threat that's coming from the scene. chief political correspondent has

are on this breaking news as we mentioned, authorities and germany carrying out a series of raids on locations to the so called rice burger group that extreme far right. our network. nina, thank you so much for bringing us up today. french president, a manual micron is due to speak on television in a couple of hours in his 1st public remarks. since the government pushed through unpopular pension reform, the decision to bypass the lower chamber of parliament and to raise the retirement age, has only added to the anger fueling demonstrations across the country. ah, protesters in paris are showing no signs of backing down in the fight against french pension reforms, frustration to into fire and fury. after emmanuel mccullin's government narrowly survived no confidence motions on monday. the votes only adding to public anger with strikes and demonstrations flaring up across the country.

the belmont, you call in it's not really just about pensions, it's about being fed up with everything else. they want us to work longer while they are already reducing our salaries. they don't increase our wages to increase all our charges, electricity, even food, and in the end, why to work longer for nothing for a pittance. and to have a pension that i might not even get was remember, just about the strikes and blockades that oil refineries are continuing, creating possible fuel shortages and the streets of paris remain strewn with rubbish after a 2 week strike by waste collectors, despite the fierce opposition microns were of time and change now looks almost certain to become law, but he should yield to appear on live television wins day for a crucial interview to address the unrest. was like, well,

i don't expect much from a crown speech. we're holding you protests on thursday is going to be massive, whether he bypasses to parliament vote. whether there's a vote of no confidence we will fight until it is withdrawal. im super casual with hope. nicole's popularity has plummeted over his pension plans. his personal approval rating is now just 28 percent. it's a perilous position from which he must regain public confidence and restore, come amid furious french voters. and a little earlier, i spoke with tipple milan from a, from less echo in paris. and i asked him why there has been such a strong reaction in france to raising the retirement age. it's difficult to say we, we've had a pull and in january atlas eco, and the wizard was actually quite puzzling. 61, the percent of the french people sold to be from was necessary because we living longer and the system that gets more difficult to,

to finance. the said the same time, 66 percent rejected. the main idea of the reform to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. so you could argue people might have been convinced if the government had to explain better. maybe i guess also the timing was and the key was after the corporate crisis and within the search of inflation and also context of the, of the war and doors of europe. and there was also a tactical mistake from the government. i think the crew to have perhaps the support of the pro reform union called the safety and they haven't tried this. and i think that's what explains why the unions are so united in the country where unions are usually quite divided. so all together it's that's explained probably

the the reaction and here is the look at some other stories making headlines around the world. authorities in the north indian state of punjab have shut down the internet as part of a huge man hunt for a sick preacher. shut down effects around 30000000 people dramatically hitting economic life. police accused the preacher on red paul thing of agitating for a separate seek state. an earthquake has shaken large parts of northern afghanistan and pakistan, killing at least 13 people and entering many more. the epicenter was in afghanistan and mountainous by doctor and province. but the 6.5 magnitude quake was powerful enough to send people clean for safety. hundreds of kilometers away. prosecutors in the u. s. state of virginia have released footage which shows the death of a patient in a mental hospital air, vo, ateneo,

a black man died earlier this month after several officers and hospital staff pinned him to the ground. 10 of them have been charged in connection with the killing chinese president. she's in pain left moscow on wednesday morning following 2 days of talks with russian president vladimir putin. during their summit, the 2 leaders signed a deal to expand bilateral trade and energy cooperation. putin said that their meetings showed chinese russian relations were at their highest point ever on the war and ukraine president, she said that china had an impartial position and supported peace and dialogue. and for more on this less pregnancy of sang director of the so us china institute in london. welcome to the program and thank you so much for joining us. china has tried to frame this trip as a piece mission. is anyone buying not or the chinese so to young? i age. huge certainly is buying it, but nobody else seriously will take it as

a genuine piece. missions for a chinese piece proposal that is whole. somebody endorsed by hooting he did is a proposal that would not get anywhere with you craned the other party involved in the country. it appears as if ties was in china, and russia are growing stronger amid the invasion of ukraine. is that a fair assessment and what does it mean geopolitically? i don't think the relationship between china and russia is at the moment at is high wrist point. i think that was when putin visited china a year ago, just prior to his innovation to all ukraine. but it is still on a high point, china is still supporting protein, even though it is not without some element of limitations. so that relationship

remains very strong and what bus. one of the big concerns is that beijing might supply russia with military aid or, or military weapons. in fact, there has even been some reporting to that effect that, that might even already be happening. do you think that we could see that? and what would that mean? i don't think we're going to see china po, binding, clearly defined military ha, where's weapon systems to russia in the short term? and the reason is quite simply that china's policy from the beginning of the invasion is a policy of a clearing new trotta t, supporting to tin, but paying no price, not paying a price means not putting charlie in the situation that a will be subjected to secondary sanctions since the u. s. and the western powers, have me clear that the pollution of weapons by china to russia will trigger

a 2nd re sanctions. china will not do that, but anything short of triggering secondary sanctions. i think we can count on the chinese didn't range to the russians. well, thank you so much for joining us. to put this meeting this relationship in context, professor steve sang director of the so us china institute in london. we appreciate your time. thank you. now the debate over e migration is heating up again after last month. deadly shipwrecked in southern italy. more than 80 people are known to have died after a boat carrying migrants and asylum seekers broke apart a few 100 meters from shore. our reporter rosie bare chart visited the scene of the disaster near cra, tony, where the search for the victims and for answers continues. weeks after calamity struck the coast of calabria, strong wind spree,

more bodies in your shore. divers carry the remains to the coroner. the little girl is among the dead. haseb survived. he tells us he left afghanistan because his life was in danger. but more peril. lay ahead. with other got you was about a month. if the good luck that i will never forget that day in all my life, it was, he conditions were even worse than they are now as he got on. but i thank god that i received and i am alive was on the bottom all although on was the owner of the world. although i was able to save myself by groping and holding on to a piece of root from the ship, valid them with the earth over as chrissy, but on my, the way in the sand objects outlived their owners. the shore here is still strewn with destroyed clothing, shoes, and even parts of the boat so many hoped would carry them to a safer or a better life. instead,

dozens droned before ever reaching italy. and now what's left, are these broken bits and pieces of lives lost down the coast? we meet fishermen vincenzo, after witnessing the wreck, he's been advising search teams on the waters. he knows well, but his nets no lie empty. and his boat hasn't budged from dry land. when you'll london, i cannot go back out to sea. i can't handle it. images, not those dead bodies keep coming to my mind and i can't bring myself to cost on my fishing nets. i just can't inch off at some say this tragedy was all too predictable. local volunteer francesca spends her evening serving up food to undocumented migrants and people in neat. she thinks the ship wreck shades light on failed policy and a lack of legal pathways into the european union will go vanderbilt. but not the government really needs to get better and welcoming migraines quesada did on the

immigration as a positive thing mythical. now they say they need to move a couple down migration flows instead of helping people arise, thought ada. gotcha, benita. in the cold light of day, italy's government says its conscience is clear. rome is forging ahead with controversial plans to restrict rescue ships operated by non profit groups. authorities here blaine's smugglers for debts, etc, and insist more e you support is needed. westhal problema dear soldier, while this problem must at least become european problem, the other soul, italy alone can not bear all of this fact. ok, it's true. italy lends itself more than other nations to vote. arrival has shown it, but it's clear that all these people do not want to stay in italy. that was, they want to move to other countries like germany, while europe will touch the injured body. hussy has come to this makeshift morgue in the local sports whole to pay his respects. his future remains uncertain,

but he says he's lucky just to have one. calabria wants to draw a line in the sand under this catastrophe that more migrant boats have already arrived since the rec, and some fear that before long. these waves may once again carry death and destruction to shore. and for more on this, i would like to welcome one friend under lopez. i glad he is the chair of the european parliament committee on civil liberties, justice and home affairs. welcome to the program and thank you for joining us. italian authorities say that they are facing a thousands of migrants ah, thousands of arrivals that they feel completely left alone by the rest of the you. is that fair? no, it is not. is not acceptable. it is not to be accepted. neither normalized. there was again a debate independent or instruct oh right afterwards and surely we'll we'll deal

with the matter in the cle media chair the comedian leave to just on the 1st we are trying to strike a balance between shared responsibility and binding. mandatory solidarity. i'm a member states, but all member states are bound by you law, which is already effective and enforcing a glitch. international humanitarian law as a source of you'll. so he's absolutely unacceptable that any member state fails to do its very best, its utmost to rescue lives and sees in dire straits or coin before a ship wreck. or you directly pointing that criticism at the italian authorities right now. well, i, that criticism has been outspoken in the european parliament and endorsed by a majority. of course, we are not to draw into conclusions, but it is a fact that front dick's huss made in a statement that they alerted the italian authorities, that they warned about the ship near the coast of gluttony. and yet, there was,

again, have you decimals. absolutely, unacceptable. many of then children, women and children. so something has to be done in order to come up. finally with you framework for such a rescue. but more than that is hitting a legal pathway safe legal pathways, humanitarian visas with all of the tools of disposals in order to prevent death elicit trafficking of human beings to take in such a death. told not only that it's raining, but also in the atlantic, with a bush approach in the canary islands, in the canary islands route to their european union. and of course, making sure that all of member states do by abide by you law and by international humanitarian law. for that matter, so now you've been making the case on for establishing legal routes as you've been highlighting there and to the you to deter migrants from risking their lives at sea . tell us what you have in mind and how exactly you hope to get that past.

especially considering that considering that we have seen european governments coming to power on an anti migration agenda. when only to well that there has been a negative approach towards migration asylum related issues for all too long. second, we know that they are divisive. they are geographically divisive, politically divisive. they are actually divisive among the member states, and i have seen that in the you council of ministers, but still there is a pro european majority in the european parliament making the case for a balance which is finally to be struck between responsibility and solidarity and solidarity takes to make sure that no countries left on its own way. some countries misbehaved so grossly because they are exploiting the anger and frustration in their national elect rates regarding the lack of european response to the strategies that it takes into holistic approach in the external dimension,

countries of transit of oregon is strengthening to cooperation, dismantling the business model of the list traffic of human beings, but making sure that once people are rescued, human beings are rescued. or once they make it on the doors of the european union, they are treated respectively with dignity, respect to the fundamental rights. because the you are charter for them and a right to protect, not only you citizens, but also all and foreigners, including migrant. when they are under you law and you law is effective and onforce for all of the members state serious. you lot stake here, of course we want to strike a new ball, right? but still there is a migration package, unavailable, which is still enforceable and all member states should abide byte. one fernandez. love has i'm glad i, we have to leave it there. our conversation, of course, to be continued. as i mentioned earlier from the european parliament committee and civil liberties, justice and home affairs. thank you so much for your time and for sharing that if

thank you for having me. pleasure. well, there's a saying dead as a dodo meaning something that has gone for ever, and it cannot be brought back. it refers to the bird species humans made extinct hundreds of years ago. but now a biotech start up has announced it wants to bring the dodo back to life. the ground making attempt we'll face complex, scientific, and ethical issues. native only to maricia us. dot's were flightless but fearless. birds well adapted to life on an island in the middle of the indian ocean . but after a european ships arrived in the 16th century, bringing a range of predators, the dose fearlessness led to them being hunted and slaughtered wholesale. within decades, they were wiped out. could they be brought back principal challenges. what is the definition of success, how you know,

how like the extinct animal will you actually end up with them and will that do what you want it to do? i have to say that i think it is. i'm skeptical, but anyone will be able to d extinct any animals, dodo or passenger pigeon, or mammoth scientists from a company called colossal bio sciences, are working on bringing back the dodo along with 2 other species, the woolly mammoth and the thigh, lesaine, or tasmanian tiger. but the technical challenges in the field remain immense. but the major technical challenges to be solved is actually working out how many different mutations in an organism may depend on each other. so you may want to change one gene, one little mutation to give one phenotype. and it may work straight away, but alternatively, there may be a load of other unseen things you have to change in concept. i think a big challenge is just going to be that there are many places in the genome that you're not able to resolve. you're not able to figure out what the dodo genome

looked like in that position, and for d extinction. i think this is a big problem because we simply don't know what most of the genome does, even in modern humans, even in ourselves. and even if they succeed, where will the d extinct species go? the ecosystem on maricia, for instance, has changed dramatically in the past 350 years. could functional dose be released into the wild there? or would they have to remain protected in zoos? we need to actually do some work to make sure that we've got the happy dotted needs, some funding to come in to for these habitat restoration and for the latest technologies to come in. and i would say, we are not ready to do it tomorrow, but we may be ready to do it in the next 510 or 15. yes. but a lot of scientific hurdles remained to be cleared before an animal resembling a dodo sees the light of day. derek williams,

you heard him that report. he joins us here in the studio to tell us a little bit more. is this really going to happen? i mean, this is like, you know, the prelude to drastic park here. well, kind of in a way, but it's not going to happen in the way that most people seem to think. so. the problem is, is that we don't really have intact d n a for these animals. so making clones of them like we did for dolly the sheep, that's not really going to work. what we're going to end up with instead is, is a kind of fact. similarly, of those particular animals. ok, so a little bit more about the science though. how exactly this happens? well, that's in the creation of this, of these facsimiles. what? because dna degrades. we can only an old samples taken from old. dot's or from mamma's mammoth bones. we only have particular segments that, that, that, that aren't complete. so the way that they kind of do an end around with the science as is that they'll take d n a from the closest surviving relative of that particular species. in the case of the dodo, it would be the nick of our pigeon, which is a bird from, from not too far away in the indian ocean. and for the mammoth,

it would be that the elephant. and then you take their d n a, and you genetically modify it with ma'am it's gene. so what you end up with in the end is, is not really the dodo or, or the matter what you end up dx thinking is actually some dodo genes. and some mamma, is this being done for the good of science, or is there money in it? well, i don't know if there's going to be really a lot of money in selling the extended functional dose and mammoths. but there is possibly a lot of money to be made in the technologies that will lead to that, which is really i think what, what a loss of bio sciences is betting on by, by developing this technology that might have 2nd uses, for example, in human health care in various fields, they're going, that's where they're going to end up spending out companies and making money. this is just sort of a showcase thing. everybody wants to see a don because it's super cool science, but it's not. they're not doing it in order to sell madison dodo. the ethics of this, the ethics that's a whole can of worms. i mean, you know,

starting with the question of whether or not you should, we should be able to bio engineer animals in this way and, and ending with the question of what we don't have any luck in a live dose, to teach those how to be dodo so there's going on to the environment that these creatures were made for no longer exists. so there's a whole wide can of, of ethical issues as well. really fascinating staff, direct line is breaking it all down for us. thank you so much. you're up to date on d. w. news, i'm sorry. kelly and berlin from all of us here. thanks for watching. mm. ah. with

who i'm at neutral by 2045. germany's public transport system is going green. is it good by the old bus? well, you know, they're converting to electric energy which presents

a technical challenge. is it worth it for the climate? absolutely. but what about for businesses made in germany? d. w. eco, africa, walla. we care focusing on energy, nutrition and education. denisia aims to make his schools more sustainable and better equipped the market. our boarding school is leading the way run like a small business. it is self sufficient and economically successful with in 60 minutes. on d. w. with guardians of truth, i have paid almost every price of being

a journalist. the country like to keep taking on the powers that be they risk everything. john dunbar, meets activists, journalists, and politicians living in exile. they will torture. they live for their mission. what drives them? people need to know what is happening there were series guardians of truth watch now on youtube. d. w documentary ah ah ah. once upon a time with bang for consider to some of the faith of places to park your cash.
