destroyer with less than 140 meters between the 2 vessels. tension between beijing and washington has escalated in recent months over itself and governing taiwan. police and hong kong have detained scores of people, mark and was $34.00 sent over 3 of the tenements square massacre, which is when chinese soldiers opened fire on peaceful pro democracy protesters and beijing. in 2020 china, impose the security law in hong kong. effectively banning the new world events. well, here in germany, a video has gone viral, showing chancellor all of schultz in a rear outburst of anger shouting at protesters who attacked as governments military support of ukraine. charles was at a gathering of his party near berlin when a group of protesters disrupted his seat shouting slogans like, make peace without weapons, and calling him a war monger. so here's some of the chancellors,
6:11 pm
impassioned response time or the and dw political corresponding benjamin as far as gruber is in the studio with me for more on all of this. so yeah, that was certainly a rather strong and very emotional response by the chancellor. and it's rather out
6:12 pm
of character for him, he's normally known as being pretty subdued. what happens, let's right, usually he's pretty call him when he's speaking in front of a bigger audiences. this, this and thing that we just saw, this video that was in fact is a close to berlin and brandon. but there was an event of the espy de office parties of the social democrats. and they started talking even before he started speaking. so there was the state premier of the state also this and he started shouting that he should leave that. he's a woman gra and also asking domain not to keep sending these weapons. it's not the 1st time we seen, but of course it the most passionate speech and this video has done virus on twitter with many, all ranking politicians also reacting to it. one of them is brought in the eclipse cope. you said it's ultimate, it's me personally how emotionally it's bonus cancer. so if you text him is reacting to the put in friends as a cold and think you'll have souls for defending a so resolute and is especially interesting in light of the fact that the chancellor was considered too hesitant when his response to what was happening in
6:13 pm
ukraine, so is this a complete turnaround? it wouldn't call it a turnaround. it was a long process. if we look from germany of the 1st, when this invasion happened, and then they wanted to send this helmets and they send showed weapons and they start sending a even heavier artillery, sending ahmed vehicles now sending this left at 2 times. but germany does not want to go as far as sending will plains, as many are asking those one to have the more active role. but germany is safe. and ukraine is also demanding that the german he should join the so called in depth a coalition to also sent this far to just to ukraine. but a majority of done it's according to a recent poll is still against it's still against germany, sending fine to just german fight to just to ukraine. now, what benjamin? what can you tell us about the people who are heckling the chancellor? what kind of the person is this, on what side of the political spectrum are they likely to be? so we can definitely assume that this was organized. this was not a spontaneous in protest,
6:14 pm
but it's difficult to say which party affiliation they have. they could be from the fall arrive, that is pretty strong in eastern germany, but they could also be from the left party. we have a really big movement saying that a piece made is needed that we need peace agreements of germany should not good. and both nato should not get involved. it has so it's difficult to say which spectrum, which part of the political spectrum this protest as r a. but it shows that there is still discussion in germany of how far to him. and you should go all the false has been accused of being a to reluctant will others. so saying the domain should do more accusing the drum and sounds and accusing his government to fill, dragging its feet of acting when others are acting and not leading. so it's difficult to say exactly which part of the political spectrum these people are, but we can assume that this will not be the last time that they will shout at the top. and also that the debate within the country continues to develop political correspondent benjamin as far as grover. thank you so much. i. the 3 chinese
