3:07 pm
take a nova by probation organization to hold like some food markets. and part of this was like like, shut down by the government as you have seen, is blocked by barricades, by the warranties. for some unknown reasons and like that people are like apparently they have resulting to some more low profile and sup to approach us to um, the hold. and it kind of commemoration because any form of morning has been more difficult nearby. yes. is the national security and all of us in post in 2020. that's some people like a web to talking and we've spoken to like some shopkeepers to try to keep a white candles at the stores privately and some display. some old news. put a news clippings about, they turn 12 incidents inside a book store price at the so so on and so on. and people maybe they try to like um, post the photos out the candle lights online. and that's the only way that people can still express that dissent and um and people are definitely seeking some way
3:08 pm
more stable ways to do so. all right, so people doing it in a quiet way. but are there other home congress who still intend to actually define the chinese government and somehow mark this anniversary in a public way? yes a so although they are like definitely the minority of the societies of pipe, most of the people they see a repetition supposed to be with their own. see with them they are like trying to find a band just like blocks away from where i'm standing. right. now, like on the street, um, over the past 2 hours, there are some individuals um they try to like poke flowers or they just bring a book about $1012.00 instead of or, or the some of them the even slight sauls related to june soft press. now or tend to slow down, it's related to like asking for freedom except for but many of them they, they, they like, they couldn't make their way through the pocket let. and then they like,
3:09 pm
they were like, quickly taken away by police. um, today we're talking about some 16 uh 6000 police offices including some n t terrorism offices patrolling around picks for our park and across home calling . so like so i need some people to try to do so, but this gets the most difficult. so is there is in a sense that tom comes, protest, move in the pro democracy movement has essentially lost the battle. is it accurate to just say that beijing has succeeded in clashing the residence, long health freedoms completely? no. so the past 2 or 3 guesses to national situational was impose i like public gatherings or like any form of coats have, have what you expect to have happen effectively and launch the suppressed or band like these. yeah, no one said to apply for holding any light public events off of the morning, the gen 4 so. so this can tell the tooling a size how it affects the city as
3:10 pm
a whole, like just in, in such a short period of time. so now like home homeless abroad, all like this, it is a broad band trying to carry on this kind of commemoration overseas. like in new york city, like recently there was a gen 4 museum reopens like that is the one like i opened the off to the one in hong kong was previously shut down by hong kong government and so, so on. as soon as these have events like bass will be a form to carry on to come memorize. that was correspondence because reporting from hong kong cd. thanks so much. well here in germany, video has gone viral, showing chancellor all of show all in a rare outburst of anger shouting and protesters who attacked his government military support of ukraine. charles was at a gathering of his party near berlin when a group of protesters disruptive his feet shouting slogans like,
3:11 pm
make peace without the weapons and calling shoals a warm hunger. the we can have a quick listen now to some of the chancellors, impassioned response time or the
3:12 pm
alright, that was a german chancellor there and it'll be a political correspondent, benjamin of ours. gruber is in the studio with me to discuss this. benjamin. this is not really the kind of all of charles said, most of us are familiar with. he's generally known as being rather subdued. what happened there? that's right. he's rather know to be really call him when he speaks for many people almost to call him. so to get message through this happening cycles, they close to berlin and brandenburg during an event, a europe event of the social democrats of his party and people started shouting at him even before he went on stage. so he was standing, there was the introduction and they started saying in that piece is needed that she should go away, that he should leave. and then he press these people also saying that it is important that the warmongers, it's not all f shows, but flooding and putting what we just have to. but it also shows that the german society is still divided on some topics,
3:13 pm
especially when it comes to weapons. there is a new poll that came out a few days ago that shows that the majority of people is still against germany, sending more plain, sending german little plates to ukraine. something that the ukranian side has demanded asking germany to joint this cold fight to jet coalition. jeremy does not have this f 15 or 16, but you're a fight to tie food. so majority is still against it. having similar positions. so the one that we just heard say that germany should not be involved even further with this will. there was another poll benjamin just about the support that all the shows as party has at the moment, as long as along with the other political parties in germany. and that's also very interesting development. why don't we just have a quick look at the latest poll numbers? because as you can see here, the chancellor social democrats are currently at 19 percent support and the coalition partners, the greens and the business friendly f t p at 13 and 9 percent respectively.
3:14 pm
but then we see a lot of very strong support for the opposition. the christian democrats far ahead of 27 percent. but most notable is that the far right a of the party is pulling now at 19 percent. that's as strong as the chancellor's party. and benjamin that is a 1st in german politics, isn't it, is, but this is not a new development to the for a day if the party has been in and now pro, for weeks, their methods are usually confrontational, attacking the governments. so the suite of them and parties, the social democrats, the probation is sep potty and the greens attacking them when it comes to migration . saying that jeremy does not need more skilled labor people coming to germany, but needs to close and support as an ex, the attacking them a lot when it comes to proposals, unceasing and on climate change, staffing, very, very strong, attacking the green party, attacking the leaders of the green party and when it comes to ukraine, when it comes to in germany's,
3:15 pm
and also your opinions in bozeman with sending weapons. they also said that germany needs to support this piece talks and not send any more weapon. so quite similar, say it differently to the people that we just saw there in the video and heard it attacking the german tongue slip it, having pretty similar ideas of said the german. he should support p stokes and not send any more. what to see. you have complicated situation indeed, still a lot of debate in germany. benjamin of ours gruber. thank you so much for your analysis and you're up to date on the www. thanks for watching. the have to say to us the.
