but let's switch gears to sports now in bundestag a football fiberglass have so far been the season's over achievers but they lost on sunday to a strong cologne side who are now comfortably 6 points clear of the relegation spots. despite being on the receiving end of a 51 thrashing last weekend cologne fans have had plenty to cheer about recently with their side finally getting into gear on the hosts were 1st to draw blood less than half an hour was played once libeled failed to clear this corner leaving defenders a bust on board now to tap in his 4th goal of the campaign the summer signing contributing on both ends of the pitch. i off to the break feibel once again failed to clear their lines leaving strike a john called the bouts of double the lead by people like santa swallow powered the ball into space and court the work he did on. the lax defending continued kingsley ac buoys mazie run was left virtually unchallenged in the 91st minute resulting in a 1st bundesliga goal for the right back i'm just one minutes later he smiled at it another to see the food mill and results come loa

well indeed i mean sensibly what it does is open the way for legislation to go through the bundestag the parliament all that see the telecom security but it what it really does is put germany on a collision course with the united states very worried about huawei and chinese potential influence or even espionage through telecoms infrastructure so you know the people are coaling for even tougher checks and sanctions against companies that are keys to spying but that may not be enough to satisfy a skeptics in washington right now who correspondence i mean young on the story for us tonight here in berlin simon as always thank you for. remembering when mandela's walk to freedom began today february the 11th marks the day 30 years ago when the south african apartheid government released nelson mandela from prison but now these are those iconic images from 3 decades ago mandela and his wife winnie walking through the crowds with their fists raised mandela was imprisoned for 27 years he was 71 years old when he finally felt freedom but age did not diminish his commitment to ending apartheid

foreign policy speaker in the bundestag it's all this why he believes the party is coming into so much criticism. the killer was a paranoid he was sued because of franek and the police said it very soon on twitter. this guy had not gone to action to any any political group to any a ride to extremists to any right wing groups and what this world as terrible as the situation that the the all political parties are trying to stick it somehow to the empty this is the only way how can they manage to fight against us because they have no real political arguments and pull in the political discussion so therefore they are always just trying to push us into a right to in corner sort of people are afraid even to talk to ours to listen to our political arguments we are we are living in the in the very heavy political oppression in my mind we are not free. to express what we want our people are permanently under a tag of left extremist and. you know what what happened now is that we are putting in the corner where we don't belong. but tensions running high in syria's war torn limb province the lead

launch into what will be a very interesting discussion with nancy pelosi and the head of the german bundestag germany's parliament about the threat for democracy now we're talking about pretty essential stuff this is the nuts and bolts of how the west describes itself defines itself and that is of course democracy that is international law and i think there was a real warning here by func by again in this more representative role as president to signal that germany will play along that germany wants to be more open it wants to listen to others and that the international world order if last could take and i think this was implicitly between the lines something rather terrible to get to that same point of enlightenment again now this all seems like a pretty removed stuff but it gets more concrete when you think of the european defense architecture when you think of nato and he said that this juxtaposition of europe wanting to get stronger in its own capabilities and europe . strengthening nato shouldn't be seen as opposites that and he didn't throw that reference directly but implicitly that it
