the risks to suspect the united by their rejection of state institutions in germany . there is the suspects, belief in conspiracy myths with many people consider to be completely absurd. fantasies can lead other people to a highly dangerous decision to take action. a police weren't extraordinarily stupid people. they'll have a university education with a certain amount of experience. polarization is on the rise and we have to defend our democracy every single day. also on the day seeking a peace packed with nature and biodiversity talks and monterey all time is running out to save the world's ecosystems from irreversible human destruction echo systems and become playthings. of profit with our balsam less f. besides what unchecked and then nick will economic gross humanity as become a weapon of mass extinction. we are treating nature like a thorn lips. and ultimately we are committing suicide by proxy. ah. they reject the legitimacy of the current german state and have been a thorn in the side of germany's authorities for quite some time. now, 25 alleged members of the far right iceberg or citizens of the nice movement have been arrested. an overnight raids in germany, austria and italy for the past year, there believe to have been planning to violently topple the government and berlin the countries tom federal prosecutors said the alleged crew plotters intended to form a new army and install a minor aristocrat as germany's leader it is the biggest anti terrorism rate in germany for many years. on wednesday morning, some 3000 police raided more than a 100 properties in several german states and arrested 25 people. all of them suspected members, all supporters of the so called christ spoke a movement, their goal, a crew data in germany. they wanted to overthrow democracy. the for her wrist as suspects are united by their rejection of state institutions in germany, and so on. an invoice, various as suspects believe in conspiracy myths consisting of different narratives from the rights, burger ideology as well as the q on an ideology speaker. if you look here, so vida, who and need you to the network was made up of both a political and military group, according to german authorities. they had planned to invade the german, born to stock and use violence. germany's interior minister nancy phases said the investigations provided a glimpse into the quote, a bit of a terrorist threat from that iceberg media there could to, to some decent talk who wouldn't agree on a day like today where there's one of the biggest raids against far rights efforts aimed at attacking our state. that polarization is on the rise and we have to defend our democracy every single day. at pseudonyms on t. v eden. tuck ones, the devil cut t off lawyer for tidings. if they had succeeded, this man was to become the new head of state, hine, with a choice, a descendant of an aristocratic family from eastern germany, who still uses the symbolic title of prince heinrich. the 13th, the entrepreneur from frankfurt is said to be the ringleader. she would have been installed as the new justice minister bigot my zak vin command, who was a member of the german parliament for the far right alternative for germany party. until last year. she has since resumed working as a judge idabel in court efforts to remove her from her position because of her involvement with fall right. extremists failed earlier this year. but the court confirmed that she was released from her duties on wednesday the rice berger of far right extremist, deeply anti democratic movement. its members reject the german state under the democratic system and are prone to violence. german authorities estimate that the scene consists of some 20000 people between 2015 at mid 2017 alone. more than $10500.00 crimes are said to have been committed by so called price boca . and let's bring in lauren's bloom and talent as a spokesperson for the armando antonia foundation here in germany, which works to promote human rights and oppose extremism and anti semitism. mister bloom, teller, good to see you. what does the scale of today's raids tell you about the threat emanating from right wing extremist groups here in germany? i mean it's basically something that we are observing over the last. and also wondering about the last 4 years, we are facing a serious crime democracy, the cobra spread of conspiracy believes, and also i'm the estimation of an extreme and have contributed to extreme forms of radical base. and especially in the space, they are not just friends. conspiracy, believe us, but also judges from a bonus tag, members and active form, or former soldiers, also from the special forces that went part of this network that was prosecuted as a day. and this alone shows how serious, i mean, we need to take this threat of, of turning a blind eye on, especially right wing extremism, but authority say that today's rates prove the state is vigilant. and on top of things, do you share this assessment? i think on the one hand today for the 1st time we've seen that lindsey of what the patients like the color defense of democracy. and i'm very happy that today they acted from home that promise. but on the other hand, i think the mistakes that have been made in the past will just be felt like good police work. we need to more, we need a listing approach that strengthen the prevention and the radicalization measure and democracy education. because otherwise, i don't think that this will go away anytime soon. or how concerning are the groups tie as to germany? security apparatus? i think it is very concerning that former and armed soldiers always part of these networks when they finally gets tumbled by the police. i think that is something that's petitions and police forces needs to deal with themselves and not just externalize lives by some of the rates, but we also need better education some sort of awareness within these institutions as well. democracy work doesn't stop within the police, won't the thread has been made visible, but by no means eliminated. you talk about education, but there are sectors of society. you know, the ring leader of this group. he, he was, i believe in his late sixty's. how do you reach people who are so advanced in age and probably also pretty settled in their world views with initiatives of education as you suggest? yeah, i think when we talk about the case, i don't mean like the classical school education, but furthermore, we rather need to tackle all parts and aspects of society. for instance, also people that work at the administrative for eric, especially in regards to price per g id. ology. oftentimes they are confronted with this forums of ideology in the 1st place when people went to burn the passport and then the idea because they don't believe in the existence of the german state. so i think that is something where i think part of the german state and administrative body should cooperative just much better to, to tackle these issues and radicalization tendencies much earlier before the turn 60 and have a close. well, you, our only say that we're in a crisis of democracy and germany. how resilient is a democracy here in the country. and in this, in this crisis, as you call it, i think it is more resilient them. and then we like to release in a lot of ways because 1st there was 20152016. the summer of migration done. we had a massive racist m mobilization that then truck transferred into the cold pandemic, and then taxes and the spread of conspiracy beliefs. and now we face rational best informations that energy crisis, which also draws a lot of people into conspiracy, believes and right being extreme doesn't. but i think, especially for the good work of civil society on some parts. also, the german state has contributed to rather recently in german democracy, including the work of your organization, the i'm a new antonio foundation lawrence blown title. thank you so much. thank you very much. ah, in 2007 time magazine named vladimir putin, it's person of the hear back then they rode. if russia succeeds as a nation state in the family of nations, it will, oh, much of that success to one man fled amir vladimir a rich potent, 15 years later, it is potent violent attack on that same family of nations and its core values that put your cranium, president, follow to me as the lensky on times, front page naming him and the spirit of ukraine, person of the year. the magazine said it was honoring the country's resistance to russia. invasion time said it was the most clear cut choice in memory, and that ukraine's find was a reminder to the world of the fragility of democracy. in while the u. s. has denied encouraging ukraine to launch strikes inside russia for 3 apparent drone attacks on targets that moscow blames on keep an air field and a curse region and to air bases further inside russia came under attack. earlier this week, ukraine has not claimed responsibility and washington stopped short attributing the strikes to keep for fear of escalating the conflict. we have neither encouraged nor enabled the ukrainians to strike inside of russia. but the important thing is to understand what ukrainians are living through every day with the ongoing russian aggression against their country. and our determination to make sure that they have in their hands, along with many other partners around the world, the equipment that they need to defend themselves to defend their territory to defend their freedom. russia's invasion of ukraine has cost devastating loss of life, but both sides have been secret. if a balance is how many of their soldiers have died, civilian casualties are also impossible to state with any kind of certainty. our next report looks at the reasons why 9 months of fighting air strikes artillery battles and close combat in towns across a 900 kilometer long frontline, leaving thousands dead. but how many 1000 is on known? russia stated in september that it had lost just under 6000 troops, but the u. s. military says it's lost about a $100000.00 on the field. ukraine recently said that about 13000 of its soldiers had died in the war, but the us said it's number of casualties is also more like 100000. the us uses a variety of methods to figure out that number, including satellite footage, as well as social media, images of the battlefield. when you stated that 100000 ukranian soldiers had died, kiev reacted with anger, saying, such figures were classified and that the government would release statistics when the time was right. you later back tracked from that claim. meanwhile, the low numbers, russia has released seen that to reassure the public that the war is not a catastrophe. the civilian death toll another big question, the united nations most recent statistics, 7000 civilians dead. but the front line is too dangerous for observers to make a real count, many rushing occupied areas like the city of mary paul, where mass graves have been photographed by satellites, may hold tens of thousands more. and russia is not letting international monitors into those areas. russia in general, makes no comment on the number of civilian casualties in ukraine. for more on this, i'd like to bring in doctor jade mcglenn. she's a senior researcher at the monterey initiative in russian studies at the university of oxford. good to see you again and tell me why the ukrainian government so secretive about its war casualties. i think it makes a lot of sense why they're so secretive, and that's because it would be very damaging to moral union. people are going through an awful lot at the moment and i think most ukrainians understand that the numbers are far higher than the figures that the kid has officially released. but it's not necessarily helpful at this moment in time, particularly when morale needs to needs to be kept quite high to release the real figures. but wouldn't it also help to, to garner more support at a moment where it is in certain parts of the world fading to show the real extent of what russia is causing. and ukraine does interesting actually studies tend to show that i'm support. i'm at least in america and in western europe, support for was pence. they did not by the crimes will sort of outrage caused by one of the sites, but actually by the belief that a country and the country desk putting all their own country can win the war. so in some ways, again, to release these figures would not necessarily be helpful because most of the, the research that is going into sort of public support for was, she's that provided the side thinks provided the public feels that they are supporting a war that is winnable by the us, by the side that they're scooting and then they will continue to support it. so that's what they respond to success. rather, even if it takes a long time, rather than i'm rather than outraged sometimes that can be sort of demoralizing for the supporting audience as well. i want to get your take on the recent developments and the war, the strikes on russian air bases. how much of a headache are they to put? i say they're quite a headache because they shoot festival incredible vulnerabilities within, within, within russia itself. and of course, they completely puncture amidst the already quite conscious image that this war is just, no christian that happened in ukraine, wouldn't have any effect on you, the russian people. and quite clearly, that is not the case quickly. they're not safe. i followed quite closely. social media channels of the, of the border regions. and i also sort of have a contact there. and you can see, you know, people are very tired, you know, having richest years of being hit by strikes ukrainian missiles and you, there's a general sense of well, we didn't sign up to this on this. you know, quite, quite interesting to observe. burton did say it ain't that his army could be fighting in ukraine for a long time, but that he saw no sense in mobilizing more soldiers. at this point. looking at the situation you're, you're painting there. there are no gains, heavy casualties, lack of equipment, lack of support, how much longer can you keep this up? i think he can probably keep it up for quite a while actually provided that he doesnt demonte much sacrifice of the rushing people. so he, as you say, he announced that they would not be a 2nd wave of liberalization. and one of the reasons for that is because when they did announce mobilization, clearly there was quite a backlash. and it's been seen in, in polls, including sort of the secret polls that aren't really very secret because they've been leak. tolliver, i'm russian media now western media on that shoe that people really initially began to turn against the war to, to view as some, you know, not going pudding to plan and, and not being full well. and having been a terrible idea from the start because they didn't because mobilization essentially, um, scared everybody. so it's been quite important to try to be settled. the horses. i miss it was trying to settle population, make them, make them feel calmer. i think the now what beat him and what the criminal will be hoping to do is to just get through the winter. and you try to and will be hoping that the elections, or democratic developments in the west might bring to power people who are less willing to support ukraine or who will put pressure when you came to, to negotiate arm in such a way that they would see territory or something, the putin could could countess away and then could go away like, assumes and, and sort of re arman and come back and try again later. dr. joe mcglenn at the university of oxford, always a pleasure. ah, true. if humanity is best, friends, without nature, we have nothing. without nature, we are nothing. nature is all a life support system. and yet, humanity seems hell bent on destruction. we are waging war on nature's young secretary in general, and tony good harris there urging government to end what he calls an orgy of destruction as a buying a diversity some it kicks off in canada and it's opening and mon trail guitars warn humanity has become a weapon of mass extinction, and that it must change course. many experts are calling the summit a final chance to save the world species and ecosystems as we know them. are the bones of an elephant porch for its 5 rein kenya. images like these are very visible remind of the thread that humans pulse to animal and plant life for a station changes in land use, the climate crisis and pollution are also taking the big tall about 1000000 species are currently at risk of becoming extinct due to human activity, this not only threatens to degrade ecosystems further, but also in day does our own welfare. we depend on by davis, therefore the food we eat there, water, we drink. this edwards pression of cub on the medicine we take for a span 70 percent of cancer. drugs come from by diversity or nature. the u. n. by diversity conference was sent on how to protect 30 percent of land and sea by 2030 scientists stress that this target is needed to prevent the collapse of ecosystems and human prosperity in the future. the biggest threat is us human beings and then less our relationship with nature changes. the situation will continue to deteriorate. i'm saying so because 97 percent of the global by a diversity is degraded is the result of human action. we need to take urgent measures to protect ourselves from ourselves, experts argue, but who will cover the costs. some emerging and developing economies such as indonesia, india, brazil, south africa, and the democratic republic of congo tend to be particularly rich in bud versity. but these countries argue that they lack the resources to expand their conservation efforts. they are demanding financial support from rich nations. we don't want to see a target which has absolutely no hope of implementation. scientists say there is no time to lose. however, even if the cop 15 participants at an ambitious target, it can only be the beginning. none of the by the versity objectives agreed at the 2010 convention, have yet been fully implemented by the global community. and i'm joined now by accident runs on sunday w environment. i think how bad is it? it's bad. i mean, it just a few years ago we have this landmark scientific review for yeah, the world's best scientist for us. well, and they really found that the rate at which nature is declining is unprecedented. ramsey and anything like it's in the dinosaurs wiped out the rate to which species are going extinct is getting faster and faster and faster and faster. and all of this is happening when we know how we can stop the problem. we know how we could prevent the species from being driven to extinction. and at the same time, they also found that what we're doing isn't amount that we just had in the report. and what is the impact of biodiversity loss on an hour? so it affects our lives in every way. so i mean, earlier today i had a cup of coffee and a bar of chocolate. and that cup of coffee, i mean if we kill out all the pollinators like the wild bees and the buzz that go around from plant to plant to make sure that pollen gets transferred. if we kill them out, the coffee is gone. i mean, you can't make a coke is gone chocolate you can't make without having to, well, pollinated coffee, the yield drop by about 50 percent or so. and so you end up in situations where just basic foods that were so used to rely on these entire ecosystems that were destroyed without really being very conscious of it. and so it was interesting of that, i guess all of these things come together in certain ways and occasionally you maybe get a glimpse of how it affects your life. but most of time you don't. and so these big things, issues like the food that we eat, the fish that we, well fish from the sea and things. they have huge potential to go wrong. if we keep on pressing all the buttons that were pressing to make to keep them place, replace the edge. so let's talk solutions. what can be done to reverse that trend, or at least stop it, where it stands right now for their big things we can easily do. i mean that we know we need to do so things like stopping climate change from getting any worse. so stop binding fossil fuels. we stop heating the planet that mean the ocean stop getting so hot the fish from getting boiled to death. eventually, we can do things like protecting areas major. that's one of the big question marks around the conference happening right now. getting an agreement by the end of the decade to protect 30 percent of the land and sea, which i mean center something player is not enough to actually hold biodiversity last of the rates at which we need to stop them. but it would be a big step forward. other things like avoiding plastic pollution and kind of dealing with the waste, better stopping the exportation of be consistent resources and mining and logging. all of the things would need to be scaled back drastically to stop the drastic decline and bite over we only have a couple of seconds, but i do want to know if you are confident that there will be some sort of meaningful result at the end of the time it talk to say, i mean most people that we're hearing from don't seem to be very hopeful that there will be, but at the same time, this is a good chance to push forward some of the, the big post. this of the 2030 percent of clemency by 2030. that really seems to be in the spotlight right now. whether it quite gets there or not. said the stage. you're right, edge ignorant and thanks for coming in. and that is our times are today to make sure to follow our team on twitter finance at steam w news and myself. nicole just now from all of us on the day and from a jake. thank you so much for spending part of your day with a, with a conflict. so with for ash banner g littles has to hold and russia since the start of the war in ukraine. what is the support to be sent to escalate into something more active from that could be on shortcut. you've political advisor to bella lucian, opposition, leader trip la masters. he kind of car up. she claims to be the national leader of bella luce. but holding the gentleman is her claim and conflict with d. w. we can keep doing what we're doing when we need to become a sustainable as possible. and that's why your green revolution absolutely necessary. european agriculture is facing major challenges. the future is being determined now. you ref revealed the last part in our series in 45 minutes on d w. oh, she's up to date. don't miss our highlights. the t w program online, d w dot com highlights. mm. left. so it's and is government have been in office for a year now. it's been a tough 12 months, but the new demons, chancellor with the ongoing pandemic inflation and of course, the war in ukraine and all that comes from that in many ways it will have so as has transformed the country. and we seek to understand just what that means for all of you that, that so do tune in on all platforms, bro, to you by d. w. belittles has supported russia since the start of the war in ukraine. it's provided weapons, military bases, and logistical support. but is that support set to escalate into something more active in belarus? i think there is a consensus that
