a threatening issue. can i know stories from the nazi era for my grandfather? and i don't want that to happen again. protests are opted after damage to that alternative to germany. members and me are not to use met to discuss plans to deport millions of people with migrant routes, including german citizens. the policies leadership has tried to distance itself from the so called mazda plan, but the revelation has spots nationwide outrage even prompting chancellor, olaf sholtes to join a protest, and he's hometown of puts them. he said the plan for mass deportations should send a shiver down. people spines, so i guess i'm not, i'm saying it clearly and bluntly, i stick with this, right? we extreme is, are attacking our democracy to them. they want to destroy all cohesion by my go ahead and confirm that a secret conference. these extreme is discussed how they could expel millions of
10:03 am
people from our country on the pipe. and it's no empty threats. polling shows the posse and 2nd place, a worry so many a head of state elections. we see more demonstrations, a planned for the weekend as close to them. the policy entirely grew louder and louder. now joined by dw political correspondent, thomas barrow in our studio here in berlin. thomas, i can't ever recall seeing so many people take the streets against far right extremism and racism. here in germany, can you explain to us why people feel leverage to do so now, because they feel the urge to protest to go to the streets. and to make sure that the political reaction to these revelations and not only come from the courts or from political party and the german parliament. but there is also a response by different groups in society. and that's why all across germany it's been and the humbug, but in many different stages in the country,
10:04 am
people are actually going to the streets to protest because they do not feel represented by what was discussed in the meeting. it's important distress, michael. that'd be a, if the maybe putting around 20 to 23 percent nationally, even higher numbers in the eastern part of the country. but that leaves a majority of people who feel that they do not feel represented by those policies or by those ideas that the f b has presented in different scenarios in the german parliament and regional parliament, but also in meetings like like this. so this is basically how my society decided to react to those revelations. what more do we know about this? so called meeting what factory and 2 groups were represented. and what exactly did they discuss? so extreme is neo nazis. members of the far right alternative for germany, both from a federal level, from a regional level. also a couple of a members of the main conservative party in germany. the c d. u. business people

met. and that happened in november in the city of pots stumped on neo berlin, and that was a meeting where these trans, this mazda plan was discussed to the port. people from germany, send them to an unnamed african country. and obviously that brought back memories of germany's dock history. it was actually not far away way. 1942, the nazis discussed the final solution for the jewish situation. it was also by the way, similar to a plan that the nazis also discussed to send millions of jews to an african country . so you can see that those similarities that the description that this plan is something that has obviously shocked germany to. it's called goodness, gracious thomas. as you well know, there are increasing cost of band the a f d the far right f d i should keep repeating altogether. is that even feasible? is it realistic? well feasible. yes, it is something that is actually content dated in the german constitution that of

potty can be banned if it is confirmed that it's a threat to german democracy in a direct actions that demonstrate that fact. but it's a very difficult title only twice. in postwar, german history of poverty has been, bonded was both in the 1950s calls to bind. for example, the neo nazi and p d. parties failed in recent times. so it is something that can happen. the question whether it will happen is a different one. and there are many here discussing that it would actually benefits the a if they do have such a lengthy process where they would, they would be in the news all the time with people would be discussing that. and where the success at the end is not necessarily guaranteed because we've seen examples in the past where it took a long time. and in the end it wasn't successful because of those adults. and that's why the, the reaction to these revelations has come, not only from a possible legal level, if you will, and the possibility of binding the state, but also from a political level. all of the democratic parties and the german parliament have
10:07 am
rejected this. and then also obviously from a social level from society and we saw that in the focus that have happened and then we'll continue to happen in the next few days. interesting. i mean, the party could certainly claim victim hood and the so called democracy, thomas barrow dw political, corresponded many, many thanks. as always a brief look. now at some of the other headlines from around the world, us president joe biden says he spoke with his really prime minister benjamin netanyahu about possible solutions for the creation of an independent palestinian state. asked by reporters if a 2 state solution was impossible. with netanyahu in office bite and said, no, it's not. the 2 leaders spoke on the phone friday. the 1st direct communication in almost a month. the united nation says the republic of congo urgently needs aid after the worst flooding in 6 decades. it says some 350000 people with choir humanitarian assistance. months of extreme rainfall have cost equal bunkie river to burst it's
