police carry out fresh raids on an extreme right group. members of the so called rice burger were implicated in an alleged plot to overthrow the german government last december and french president, him on the way of my call defense, his decision to force through a rise in the retirement age, even us protest escalate across the country ah, i'm gabelle has welcome to the program. it is quite literally the life blood of humanity, but it is an increasingly short supply. now a new un report has reveal the scale of water scarcity across the world on world war today. especially the united nations conference has just got underway in new york. the 1st in more than 4 decades, specifically focus on water being billed as a once in

a generation chance to tackle a worsening crisis. as un figures revealed bill across the globe do not have reliable access to clean water. and if urgent action is not taken, their situation could spiral further out of control, cracked land, and dried out trees. just becoming a devastating reality all over the world. increasing temperatures, having a major impact, making it more and more difficult for people to access clean water. we see people that needs to travel long distances to get access to some supplies. and of course the quality of the supplies is being also challenged. so we see people that cannot access safe order in many, many areas. currently, around 2000000000 people, globally, quarter of the world's population do not have access to safe drinking water. it's a number that's likely to rise without

a boost and international corporation. the u. n. has warned in our port released today. lack of water is causing severe risks to livelihood damaging food security and it's also having an impact on health. almost half of the global population lacks access to safe sanitation. so without water, there is absolutely no health and a lot of that actually is cause that water contamination if they are even able to get any sort of water is because of poor sanitation failing access to clean water and sanitation as a global problem, according to experts but it is the country's most vulnerable to climate change in africa and asia that are some of the worst impacted the you and the aims to ensure access to water and sanitation for all by 2030. but progress is falling behind. we would have to do 4 times as much as far as financial investments, infrastructure improvements and everything else. so clearly there is, you know,

i would say catastrophic on the glass for a water and sanitation as governments meet to discuss the water crisis at a summit. this week, the u. n. will be looking to turn that neglect into commitments that flow into action authorities and germany have carried out a series of raids on properties linked to the so called and i spoke a group that's the far right network that was implicated in an alleged plot last december to overthrow the german government, one police officer was shot and wounded in the operation today several locations and neighbors, neighboring switzerland were also searched. german law enforcement estimates the as extremists have up to 23000 supporters nationwide. earlier i spoke to ive stigmatized a leading member of the journey parliament for the governing social democrats. i asked him whether the iceberg are just a bunch of right wing loonies or possibly a dangerous terrorist organization. a some say,

well maybe they're both. as we know from the uprising 100 years ago, where there was marshal munich, peculiar persons were said to be in the videos that don't have any chance of reaching anything. 10 years later, the same group, i was led by then dictator or germany. so i really think you really comparing them to that, to the nazi party. now what i'm saying is you never know, and you better be cautious and you cannot guess just from looking at peculiar people that they cannot be dangerous. and the danger might lie in the networks. as you probably know, one of the persons that were record a couple of months ago was a former parliament of the writing and turned it for germany. and therefore, there's a link for him and they are in pause and eastern germany, the leading party. and they have been the biggest opposition party in the last

legislature. so you're not an estimate to danger. and anyway, we have to defend our democracy and be tapped on on the enemies of our democratic order. no vocal there clearly are dangerous in a way that they shot a policeman today. but that i was also fantasized, for instance, about storming the german bonus. talk to parliament over throwing the government even. do you think that's a realistic scenario for germany? well, he looked at the action that was planned. a plan to invade the bonus tag and capture 5 or 6 members of parliament and shoot them. that would be pretty terrific act as that happened. and i don't think that this is that you that you can prevent that from happening. that you know that by 100 percent,

that works because it's not so difficult to get into the bottom and especially not perform a members. and one of the fall a member was part of this group. but the my, my main top i didn't, you cannot allow to get it to this point and you have to. ready show that we, we cannot accept photos of the democracy, of our constitution being leading party in germany and the combination of iceberg and other people. and we're talking about people that have reference. and if you look at the people, i'm jan now. and those are journeys, military people, and medicine people. all people were leading positions with money, but network. and then also they times where they

had to tell their colleagues that they would not, that they would not tell anything what was agreed upon to the public. and if they do, they would accept the death penalty that is like, i mean, the police didn't have too much effort and to find proof for their right wing and unconstitutional plans and therefore fitting. so say you showed you that we should not underestimate it anyway, but still in very briefly, if you can, do you think it is really realistic that someone over throws the german government and takes control of the country? i don't think that this is realistic in the short run, but if we don't do enough to prevent those dimensions, we're getting stronger. and then we can rule out those things and you better be prepared to prevent us out of state. another member of parliament for the governing

social democrats. thank you very much. mistaken. thank you tom. to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines. at least 4 people have been killed after russian drone struck a student dormitory, 80 kilometer south of ukrainian capital heath attack took place at dawn on wednesday, hours after the japanese prime minister left cave following an official visit, a school and 2 dormitories were partially destroyed in the attack class president vladimir zalinski has paid an unannounced visit as a besieged eastern city of buck modes. he ordered medals to ukrainian soldiers, and heard reports about the state of operations in the heavily contested city. russia has recently made some gains in advance on bar lensky says, ukraine is determined to hold it if he appears parliament has removed to grab people's liberation front or t p l f. from the countries official list of terrorist organizations move as part
