the, the, you're watching, you know, the news coming to live from berlin, india as prime minister, inaugurate the hindu temple on a side with a history of bloodshot. the temple in our yoga is built on the ruins of an ancient mosque, its destruction in 1992 arthritis in which thousands died. also on the show a wrong de santis, a drops out of the us presidential race. the former republican candidates as clear to him that most party supporters wants to give donald trump another chance that the wife and police say 100000 people turned out in front of that to

happen in weekends of the country wide protest against the far right. the clare richardson, welcome indian prime minister and our under moody has been in all your reading a controversial hindu temple. built on the ruins of a mosque in the city of our yard. yeah, the opening of the temple comes as moody is campaigning for a record, a 3rd term as prime minister. the temples and all duration fulfils a key campaign, pledge, the hindu nationalist for whom the project has a symbolic value. the destruction of the 16th century mosque in 1992 spark religious rioting, in which thousands of people, mostly most, somebody were count potter pod. after this, let's speak to these daily bureau chief. i'm read the same of more on this story. i read it really seems like no expense has been spared for this ceremony to tell us

more about what is happening there today and what this all represents. a hi class of what's happened today in a huge z i is the consecration of the drum temple and the i just of a 51 inch i did was on vase today and i'm with the bible had a blindfold that was taken off. so now that i just has life, so for the believe we can do is what's happened today is his story because they say rom has come back to his bus place. and that is a huge deal. and this particular side at the temple that you would settlement these have been has not just today, but up in the coming. the boss, few days did and nights of rituals protracted, long rituals have been performed. and today, the prime minister and the various priest who uh, responsible for the ceremony consecrated this time. but as you said, no expense fed billions was spent. but apparently most of the money that the spent,

what came from donations from people, because this is a be beloved in popular god in india, particularly in northern india. and for them, it was absolutely a historic day as the simple wisconsin created. so clearly an event that was very close to many people's hearts. and yet it was also controversial to was it not? i mean, this is a temple that has been built on the side of a mosque that was raised by him. do mobs in 1992 on the slides. this side was that there was a boss kit on this very side. a 16th century mosque called the bob, the mustard, in 1992, as you said, can do that because the monitors the most and said it had been built on and forward . you can do 10 for this. and so i continued for many, many, many years. and then in 2019, the supreme court ruled that the demolition of the mosque had been in the good. but um that they said that a template could be built on this same side. and,

and another place was in other plots of land was given to build a new mosque. now this is being de, controversial for many people, especially let's do a lot of send them listed intentions. but once the supreme court ruling was made, it was clear that at the time for it would be best. and it was at that time, click accepted by most of the most of them organizations because it was a quarterly, but that was a festering sense of is it's been a festering wound for them for decades. and today, for many of them, they felt a sense of disappointment, that in the end, the template has been an old you rated, the temple has been consecrated, but there's no side off any just as we stayed. hope that gets within the legal system for does this then also have a modern day political repercussions. i'm curious how this might play into elections. we're expecting to see in india this year as well. certainly

the opposition believes that this whole consecration on the timing of this concert on consecration, was to do with a indian elections to this is an election year. indeed, the elections have not been announced, but they will take this this summer at the very latest. so the opposition believe that this was a political maneuver by the government to win support. and as a result, they will. so for the it was going to mix religion and politics together. so the senior members of the main opposition, the indian congress, spotty, did not attend the ceremony. and this is not to say, did not believe in getting those, but the just friends of the ceremony was wrong, and it was not secular enough. a secular in the constitution, so they stayed away. prime minister embody, says, this has nothing to do with the elections. building of this template was a part of his election manifesto from way back in 2014. and he believes in that thing a lot of people also support this view, but she's reflecting the views of believing can those who believe that this

template needed to be billed. and john needed to come back after some 500 years back to where he belonged. back where he belonged, a was born. so the thing is that obviously there's every indication that given the excitement and the frenzy and the religious flow, but we've seen the last few days that this could play into the government's hands and they would come back with a residing uh victory at now india is officially a secular country, i'm retail but, but with moody, appealing to him do nationalism. what do you think that tells us about what the future holds for the role of religion and india as well? did that is a big question because you know, many sit collection do so. so asking themselves, what does this all mean for the future of india? india has a secular constitution, but it is clearly enshrined that the rights of minorities would be protected with candy state. so that would be a separation of religion and politics and seeing an event and the spectacle of this

kind, which has been going on for the past kind of a several weeks. the prime minister himself has been just drinking coke enough more to anything fruits and sleeping on the floor as a ritual to purify him said for this particular consecration. some at so many said collecting the fees and lose feel that this just simply does not belong into a secular india. that's a head of government should be doing these things. but in the end, the people have to decide what this is. but certainly the big consent in certain areas that it is 2nd nature in this secular nature is, and constitutions is being undermined by, by events like this. i'm going to thank you so much a wonderful speaking to you. as always as that is, i read it to you. my idea of these deli bureau chief for us a florida as governor. randa santos has ended his bid for the republican nomination for president of the united states even perhaps was a viable republican alternative to donald trump. and defenders announced the end of

his campaign on sunday with an endorsement for the former president's that leaves trumpet with just one last long shot challenger standing between him and a re match with president joe biden in november. dropping out of the presidential nomination race, florida governor on desantis has endorsed former president donald trump, even though early polls suggested he wasn't a strong position to take him on the. it's clear to me that the majority of republican primary voters want to give donald trump another chance they watched his presidency gets stymied by relentless resistance. and they see democrats using lothair this day to attack it. well. i've had disagreements with donald trump, such as on the corona virus pandemic, and his elevation of anthony's bouchee trump is superior to the current incumbent joe biden. that is clear. his farewells on the scene left us to folders disheartened very to flight is very upset. this is not good news at

all. um, i'm very upset, but it happened and it's very deflating upsetting for some, but not lifting for others campaigning in new hampshire, where republicans will get their 1st chance to gust ballots for a nominee, especially donald trump. and his supporters, even though he's been endorsed by the census, comes to places one serious challenger. nikki haley, drums farmer, you invested or comes down to this? or do we want more of the same? or do you want something different? and more of the same, is it just joe biden. more of the same is also donald trump. but even if hailey can defeat trump in new hampshire, it will take a lot more to losing his grip on a party. he's dominated, says 2016. let's show up as a policy analyst in washington, dc who has worked for the us state department. i asked earlier how surprised she

was to hear about the santas ending his campaign. it's pretty surprising nobody leaves after taking 2nd in iowa. this early in the game is to it's just kind of unprecedented at this point that he would bell out. my immediate reaction was a deal somewhere has been made and i was kind of waiting to see. was it a deal to trump or was it a deal to hailey? what is the fact that the scientist has now given it from his endorsement is, is that perhaps a deal behind closed doors that you're referring to? i would not be surprised and, and that's exactly what i was looking for. the only way republicans could have nominated someone other than trump was if they all color less around one person. last week when i would caucus happened the next 3 folks behind trump together would have beaten him right away. the fact drops out. he endorses trump. so now it is just samples of haley. diseases endorsing trunk is

a surprising business. means it isn't for the democrats, it's for trump, and trump is indicated he already has a c p pick in mind. and, and who do we think that the piece take might be in your view as he's been coined, but there's a lot of stuff. fines that say the sanchez at least thinks that it could be him. and that's why he probably agreed for some tile to do this. okay, so let's zoom out a little bit and think about what this means for what is increasingly looking like a potential re match between biden and trump to become the next president of the united states. i mean, really now the only contender standing in from the way for that competition is nikki haley. does it, does she stand any realistic chance of beating? i'm here. she's definitely an outside or the next contest is new hampshire and cancer likes to think of itself as kind of an average safety at the unexpected state. so there is a chance she could do well in new hampshire,

in the state. following that is her home state of south carolina. so i wouldn't totally count her out yet, but i would say that it's a long shot. okay. and so if she, if you were to have, you know, a surprise upset and do really well in new hampshire, say, what would, what would the next step be? how much of a long shot are we talking about here? she comes a lot closer, especially with the state following that south south carolina. and this would mean that they're the republicans, irene, for a real primary versus right now i think trump is signaling. he wants to push this right now and head into the general. and so i think a lot of people would come out of the woodwork to support her and keep it hobbling along. so i think it would extend the primary. i am not super helpful to secure their nomination. well, thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us. that's at least a political scientist in washington dc. thank you. and we do have time to take a look at some other world news headlines. a landslide has buried $47.00 people

to show us some hostages were held in gaza by him. us images that are likely to hold the families of those still missing many have gathered outside prime minister benjamin netanyahu is jerusalem hern, demanding the government strike a deal to get the loved ones back after 107 days, we are demanding that they fix the failure from the 7th, and that can only start with returning all of the hostages alive. bringing home 136 hostages in bags can never be considered any part of a victory. they want the government to consider a deal offered by him us to set free for hostages in exchange for an end to the war . and the release of palestinian prison is held by israel. that's something

missing. yahoo has lastly refused saying a cease, why i would guarantee a replace of how much this terror attacks on israel. i mean, my utterly reject the most most. there's capitulation terms. mazda is demanding and exchange for the release of our hostages. the end of the war, the withdrawal of our forces from cause of the release of the murderers and rapists of promises military wing and leaving him us in place for we to agree to this, our soldiers would have fall in vain. we would not be able to insure the security of our citizens, but whether continuing the war will take is really safe or succeed in getting the hostages home is a question, dividing israel and our special corresponded. abraham told me more about the rejected hostage deal. i also asked her about reports of new cease fire, talked with egypt and guitar as well. these are still reports,

media reports to be exact. and what we are hearing is that a senior by an administration official is in the region of this week. first, they will go to cairo, egypt to meet with senior intelligence officers and a senior members of the security apparatus there. and from the egypt, this senior biden administration official will move on to a doha and cuts are to meet with a senior country officials and diplomats. there are no egypt and caught our 2 countries that have played a key role in previous negotiations between israel on her mazda, including the, the, the, the, the, the hostage for prisoner exchange deal that we saw a release a quite a large number of a hostages. but these are still on curve unconfirmed reports. it's unclear what the outcome will be, but from what we understand the deal is aimed at

a more comprehensive conclusion of the war that would include possibly the withdrawal of israeli troops and the release of hostages. but we've been here before, and these, these deals are very fragile. there are a lot, there are a lot of moving parts. and so it's unclear what the timeline is and how successful this will be given that one a offer from how much has now been categorically rejected by a prime minister netanyahu. and a, a many of the hostages of families are at this point, really desperate to get their loved ones home. and even if that means making major concessions to him off. but how much support is there in israel for their position? or i think there's a lot of support further position, and it's a, it's a small country. and even though they're now a $130.00 around a $130.00 hostage, believe to be in the israel, it's something that everybody feels, i think, in israel,

on to some extent on an individual level. what happened. the 7th of october was really a sort of collective trauma where you don't have to really be related to someone who was taken to stand by them and to share in their demands. and i think the desperation of the families are reaching now is also not new. i remember speaking to hostage families and protesters even 2 months ago, a month into a the war. and i remember hearing even back then, the slogan, all for all meaning letters, exchange all of the is really hostages for all of the palestinian prisoners in is really a jails. and there is no mounting anger. i mean, the protests that we see for the release of the hostages are not a new phenomenon. they've been happening virtually every, every weekend since the beginning of the war. but in the past couple of days, we really have seen an intensification of these protests with

a direct wouldn't even more pronounced and direct criticism ad the prime minister himself. so i would say there is widespread support for the demand. more should be done to bring the hostages back. yeah, thank you so much for bring us up to speed. there are special correspondent abraham in jerusalem. in germany, organizers say more than 1400000 people have taken part in weekend demonstrations against the far right. protests were held in around a 100 locations across the country with so the raleigh's ending early because of overcrowding. oh, wow. from outside the reichstag in the lien has come to the casino drill of cologne, cities across germany. what was the whelmed by chance of never again. a munich organizes had to come the demonstration shots sizing over crowding.

protest as had already made the message clear, rejecting the fall rights and any slides back to fascism. they said, i just think about what has happened and that it must never happen again. so that not seeds, right. wingers and flashes will come to power in any form unknown. right now. we're already on a very bad top guns. i'm very happy that there are so many people here showing that there is another way i can go get. the nationwide outrage was treated by records that right wing extremists admit to discuss reporting millions of immigrants, and even german citizens with migrant backgrounds and visiting field, trying to see if the jenn natasha. you attended the meeting with you. my ac has since distanced itself from the plan. a fall rights policy has strong support and recently came 2nd do national opinion polls. regional elections are set to take place in just a few months time, including germany's eastern states, where

a state is particularly hope to oh, we definitely hope that we can change people's mind. somebody not sure whether they will vote for aisd, but after these demonstrations, they simply can't do that anymore. probably just, i yeah. many, probably just as se, germany's democracy is a state officer, a weekend of mass rallies across the country. coles of grand, loud up a. if the to be better to have these political correspondent hinds branch has more on who turned out to protest across across the country. and why as well that 1st thought is what you can say is that it was kind of the usual suspects. a quote for these demonstrations, they were tied, union so involved that was the climate action fridays for future organization, the organization supporting migraines and organizations from across the political spectrum in some sense. and what was actually surprising is that the number of

people that then came out on the streets with people that were not necessarily linked to all of these organizations. they were quite a lot of young people. people who would suppose to, for instance, the climate action movement. but one could also see entire families, including the children and quite a lot of senior citizens, older people, even the age of people who came out on the streets because i felt that the situation had reached a point where they could no longer stay silence. stay at home and the situation has changed because partly because the, the squire to about the performance and pose of the alternative for germany, this a right wing party in germany because that the performance has been so disturbing to so many people that's been doing quite well in recent opinion, polls the 2nd nationally, and they are leading with what of a 30 percent of the vote. and so it in federal states in germany and eastern germany. and then on top of that, they were revelations, recently a box,

a secret meeting by some top leaders of the a if the with some extreme right wing is looking at the plans how to reports millions of people with a migrant background from germany. and it's those millions of people who are also affected. so they also a lot of people within modern, factual and at these demonstrations. and has that really been the catalyst for these protests? you think? because as you say the a f t has been performing very well in the polls of late. so yes, i think that was the catalyst. i think of it is a, as i say, a kind of disturbed feeling in general in the population that the fascist cost of germany could return. and then what we saw was somewhere around a 100 years ago in the twenty's. and the 19 twenty's might be repeated on the 20 twenty's. but at the same time, i think you have to say that these kinds of demonstrations are very unusual. the

last time we saw these numbers of people on the streets here and balloon was just over 2 over 2 years ago when the war and ukraine saw the in russia invited to try and but beyond that, it's maybe 40 years ago the peace movement in the 1980s that was able to mobilize these large numbers of people. and we are looking ahead to several important regional elections in germany this year. i suppose the big question 100 is whether these large scale approaches will actually have an impact on how people vote do. do you think they're likely to turn people off the f t? so that's a very, very big question and nobody's able to answer. that's at the moment. i think that all reactions from both sides of the f d from supporters of the a d h d, who say that nobody can move them away from that part of the party itself has been saying that it sees no danger to it's support phase from these from these demonstrations and of course that is also part of this protest is also

a protest against the government of the account. johnson the own shrugs. because people feel that the policies that they have been following and recent years have put happening. policies that have not played against the a f d that's really played into the hands. so the political situation above will be on these demonstrations is a very complex one. but as i say, we're having regional elections, especially in 3 eastern german states and september the c i with this policy, the f, the is leading the calls. and there's a lot of concern that if they wouldn't that the election in those regions, the situation could turn a lot more difficult in a, in the coming months. thank you so much for bringing us up to speed there. that is . do you know these political correspondent times brent? just before we go, let's get a reminder of our top story. the indian prime minister and a ranger movie has inaugurated

a controversial him gives himself in the city of the temple was built on the site of a mosque that was destroyed in 1992, sparking riots in which thousands of people died. our i'm quite richardson in for the many thanks for watching the
