Byron munich leave it to late in the game but take home what could be a crucial win. Im for girl welcome to the program. Police in india have taken hundreds of people into custody for defying a ban on protests against a controversial new citizenship law that was imposed after protests in 2 states became violent the new law Office Citizenship to immigrants from pakistan bangladesh and afghanistan if theyre escaping religious persecution but excludes muslims transport and Communications Networks have been shut down amid the ongoing demonstrations. Defiant they came out to protest and peacefully they resisted people across the country refused to be deterred by the protest ban there against a new law they say makes religion a basis for granting indian citizenship and discriminates against muslims and they believe it threatens the secular nature of indian democracy yet north here this citizenship Amendment Act is against the Indian Constitution it is a legal it is against the spirit of independence of our country. And. Many prominent people were taken into custody while protesting including the well known historian ramattan drug. His detention prompted widespread outrage on twitter a delhi based political historian condemned what he described as the police man handling one of the most prolific and influential public intellectuals and scholars. The government said it was forced to take steps in the interest of Public Safety after many protests turned violent last week. In the capital delhi protests caused more than a dozen train stations to be closed. Roads were blocked traffic congested authorities also shut down mobile phone networks and the internet in several regions many locals were left frustrated. A very difficult situation and a very bad situation were facing a lot of problems. Still so have a lot of traffic jams and some of them blocked so its a pathetic situation. But there may be much more disruption on its way there are a few signs the Prime Minister or injure modi is going to back down over the law and the protesters appear not afraid to disobey. Lets go places from journalist roughish in chennai a welcome sign to whats happening now were going to. You know. Been some amount of violence and there are reports of one person who has been found dead in the city you are lucky not only look at. A leg to fire on. You people leave the state police. That they have not opened fire on. Them but things are pretty tense across the country and this is of course since 2011 the 1st time a large section. Is coming out you thought and added to the student look at this against the citizenship. And so despite the riots and the pictures that weve seen how widespread is the discontent with this new law. But its not actually contained amongst the student population and the opposition as well as some. Sections of the urban. Population of india especially liberals like your own actions that will have a historian who was detained. Did show solidarity with the protest as in bengal today but this is not the sprint to the parts of india and this is the group at themselves not ask if you will find a solution to Media Networks whatsapp us the messages sent across the social Media Network 2 which is largely in the hands of the opposition and it is through these networks and through whatsapp messaging apps that messages are going out about the venue and the time of the protest and thats how people are talking. About it and for the students despite the all these violent scenes and with that we have seen no sign of any a back down or rethink from there and the motive not so you cannot exact moment its not im not sure im very clearly stated that they would not go back after all there is no going back on the injured Amendment Act and you also stated that it would be nor dial up with yet it does so it does not look as if the government is in any mood to even engage with the protest turned. To see more scenes of hard at least trying to do and these protests does mean that is. Just one of the joyous asunder robuchon. Now lets take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world russian president Vladimir Putin has given his annual end of year News Conference during the marathon address you called the impeachment charges against President Trump made up and criticised the doping balance against russian athletes he also suggested russias 2 term president ial limits could be changed. Pretrial hearings have begun in the case of a slovak a businessman in connection with the killing of an investigative journalist a man called is suspected of ordering the killing of journalist young. Weve been investigating his Business Activities is to quote zach and his film say gunned down at their home in february last year. To the United States that when donald trump has become the 3rd president to be impeached the house of representatives voted on 2 charges stemming from the president s alleged attempt to pressure ukraine into investigating his potential president ial rival joe biden both votes followed party lines with almost all democrats voting for the chargers and republicans voting unanimously against the decision now paves the way for a trial in the senate where the leader of the republican majority Mitch Mcconnell this crowd the impeachment as the most rushed least thorough and most unfair impeachment inquiry in modern history. After hours of debating the 1st article of impeachment for abuse of power past perhaps. On this though the 830 the nays 1907 present is one. Article one is adopted and just minutes later this 2nd article for obstruction of Congress Went as planned for the democrats on this though the yeas are 229 the nays are 198 present is one article 2 is adopted. Hundreds of kilometers away at a rally in michigan President Trump reacted to his impeachment. With todays illegal unconstitutional and partisan impeachment. Could do nothing democrats and they are do nothing all they want to do is focus on this what they could be doing are declaring their deep hatred and this thing for the american voter. This lawless partisan speech is a political suicide march for the Democratic Party have you seen my polls of the last 4 which. Back in Washington Democratic had Speaker Nancy Pelosi accuse the republicans of being purely partisan she threatened to delay the impeachment trial until she could be sure it would be handled fairly in the senate. We have legislation approved by the rules committee that will enable us to decide how we will send over. And we cannot name managers until we see what the process is on the senate and i would hope that will be soon so far we havent fulfilled what will they are to us so hopefully it will be for when we see what all this will. Probably with voting concluded in the house of representatives and donald trump becoming only the 3rd u. S. President to be impeached americans now face the next stage in the process the senate trial thats due to begin in january but democrats face an uphill battle considering the senate is republican controlled and they need a 2. Thirds majority to remove President Trump from office. Be comparable is about to begin a brief period of calm over the Holiday Season as members of the congress and senate spent time in their homes across this starkly divided country. Streets today that do so Washington Bureau chief. For the latest welcome alexandra so now the house vote has happened the focus shifts to the senate trial what do we expect well we know what the republicans want in the Senate SenateSenate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell has said that he would like to have a very short quick trial with no additional witnesses with no additional subpoenas for additional documents from the white house he also said that he is not going to be an impartial juror that he is coordinating with the white house and of course president would like to be acquitted as soon as possible but those remarks have infuriated the democrats they say that they would like to have a fur process and that is the reason for House Speaker pelosi to hold off on sending over the impeachment articles to the senate so both sides the republicans and democrats are now at loggerheads over how to continue with the impeachment proceedings it does sound as though the republicans in the senate have the upper hand here if she wants this to happen she has these articles of impeachment at some stage. Yes its rather unlikely that you know she can refuse to send them over indifferently that would be a risky strategy also because there are a lot of democrats moderates democrats who have voted in favor of impeachment but would like the process to be over soon of course when we talk about the democratic 2020 hopefuls they wanted to concentrate on their president ial campaign so this is a risky strategy but we are going to hear from nancy pelosi today as she is scheduled to hold her press Conference Soon so yesterdays decision from the house that was long awaited it sounds like now the gavel has actually dropped it doesnt sound like the house is any any less partisan no not at all we have to say that what happened yesterday has even deepened the existing position divisions in american politics the heated and bitter a debate on the house floor yesterday then that votes along party lines then President Trumps rambling corella in michigan and now the partisan infighting fighting is continuing as has it has even intensified. 100 phenomena in washington thank you. To the u. K. Now where the normally infrequent state opening of parliament has taken place for the 2nd time in 2 months this time the situation was dramatically different because Prime Minister polish johnson is now more commanding position after last weeks general election Queen Elizabeth laid out the governments agenda in a speech written by Prime Minister to no ones surprise delivering brets it was the number one priority with a big majority of Boris Johnson now has the votes to pass this bill to take the u. K. Out of the wood and Union Parliament is set to vote on not belong friday the queen made it clear that britains departure from the e. U. Was not imminent my governments priority is to deliver the united kingdoms departure from the European Union on the 31st of january. My ministers were brittle for good just nation to ensure the united kingdoms exit on that date and to make the most of the opportunities that this spring was for all the people of the united kingdom. Germany has been marking the 30th anniversary of the fall of the wall which led to german reunification a year later one of the biggest questions german leaders faced back that was what to do with the enormous number of files kept by the east German Secret Police the stars a lot of been destroyed by the time the 2 germans were reunited but most were saved in the end the files have been made available to the public and 30 years on despite the painting control the sea they generate victims of the stars the spies still go to read their files. 30 years ago east german stormed the headquarters of the stasi. They wanted to prevent the communist dictatorship secret police from completely destroying its archives here are in supreme court. The place where the secret police play and the oppression of the people being there and helping to the public in an exclusive interview with t w the former chancellors widow mica clearly explains why this instance lack there of questionable truth whats worse the stasi also added fake information to the files so they were cleared in order to spy on people to subdue people and to secure the continuance of the regime. But activists from the former east germany persevered soon anyone could apply to look at his or her own files people were often astonished by what the stanzi had known about them how much fun a long legal battle to prevent stasi files about himself from being released to academic researchers and journalists in the end a compromise was reached. Top 40 stuff is are mentioned i thought it was the stars he violated our human rights by spying on citizens and helmut kohl. Of course he collected information in these files of course they should be protected these are. 30 years on more than 2000000 people have seen their files. The identities of former stasi spies have been revealed. People who were wrongfully imprisoned for forced into working for the stanzi were rehabilitated. But how to treat the files in the future is still controversial. Theyre not a legitimate source this was always my husbands concern hed say the more distant people are from the g. D. R. Over time the less they will understand that the stasi files are not of a constitutional state. But. The archives as a key historic document this is these arkansas its important to expand these files by talking to witnesses of the time but also with other information. And his sense history is always made up of many different elements like a mosaic of cards they shouldnt be a static image of history these archives should contribute to a discourse on history. That could take place here at the former headquarters of east Germany Secret Police and berlin a campus for democracy as in the planning it should be finished by 2021 and its hoped it will send a clear message that towards dictatorship can be overcome thats a reason for hope and thats the message that can be learned from history also for future generations to become aware that freedom and autonomy are not a given but instead they must be cherished and protected. Now that report was part of the di da here documentary tightrope act in dresden which you can still view online a d w dot com forward slash dr phil so lets take a closer look at this with your constat who is a political scientist for a university and had east germany researcher projects welcome to date of the. This was 30 years ago why are the stars the file still such an emotional topic here in germany well you must think that there are millions of people who are. Reported about them and written in those files very personal stories family stories about kohli working together. Still students who were spied on because they were thinking in a different way and it was wished so you had you have files about millions of people and a lot of people. Did not start to read their files after they were open in 1900 to the falling because they feared to find something what was really. Bad about the people who were in their surrounding and maybe reporting about them and steve still have people who start now reading the files they are over 60 and they say now i have the time its far enough time gone and im now ready to read this because what was particularly insidious about this there it was that it wasnt just the baby officials during the spying but it was your neighbors your friends your family they had agents around all around you if you were interesting for them some people who are interesting for them thats a work in the church and were opus ition knew they had 4567 people reporting about them and their offices were routed down and analyzed it and there. You find the things. About you personal very personal things because because part of the work of the study was to. Isolate people they thought who would be open certain of people so how did they convince how did they convince wives to spawn husbands husbands to spy watch children to spawn parents well we have this one case very famous case where a husband spied on his wife and the wife found that out after the reunification why did he do it when when he was asked why he did it he said she was an oppositional person in the church and i believed in the aims of our party of the government he was a son of a man who was in the concentration camp in the nazi time and he was convinced about the system so he said i must tell them to stop my wife doing things what are against the state against us the system of using your stasi file i see my study 5 i studied invest in so. For human even it is generally a i wasnt in east germany but we had one person in our institute who was working for them and was reporting what we were doing good you were researching about eastern richer so you project thing what we were discussing and that the net to.

Hed already fluffed one volley in the 1st half this one wasnt too pretty either but it did the trick freiburg in the ascendancy and in spitting distance of a famous victory but in a team full of stars it was a relative unknown who stole the plaudits youre sure as exceed on a subsequent seno putting by him back in front in stoppage time the young dutchman had only been on the pitch for 2 minutes some way to make an impact says gnabry added flattery to the scoreline with bae and.
