the, the is a dw news, live it from berlin, suspected of spelling for charlie, no more arrest here in germany, the latest as a staff member of germany for white alternative for germany party. and it comes just hours after 3 others were detained on similar charge and also coming up the british parliament, passing a controversial bill to the port asylum seekers to ver wanda. and the prime minister insisting it's now just a matter of weeks until the 1st flights take off and a community torn apart they survive. the sleepless nights under russian bombardment will show you how people in a small ukrainian city are trying to put their lives back to get

the break off. it's good to have you with us when we begin with breaking news more arrest here in germany on suspicion of spying for it, showing them this time a staff member of the far right alternative for germany party known as the a f d. now the worker we understand was an assistant to this man. maximilian craw. he is the a if these top candidates hoping to win a seat and the european parliament is election scheduled for this coming june. the arrest came just hours after 3 others. 2 men and a woman were detained on similar charges, federal prosecutors, and say the 3 head set up front companies to obtain research and technology that could then be used to develop, showing as they the word security correspondence almost,

bearer. he's here in berlin, he's following the story for us. tell us what more can you tell us about? yeah, this latest espionage case. this latest espionage case undoubtedly is turning into a big political story into a big political controversy here in germany, but also into a story that could have wide ranging consequences from a security perspective already we've heard from very senior officials here in but in, including germany's interior minister nancy phase, i was stressed that if confirmed this would be an attack on european democracy from within. now the i, if the japanese far right party has been at the center of this latest controversy, they confirmed at the present who was detained was indeed her name per year of maximilian. todd maximilian caught himself stressing that he only heard of these uh, latest news from press report that he had nothing else to add. but that obviously if confirmed that will have specific consequences. and china also reacting to this

. and to other cases of alleged spying, basically saying that those reports that, that to discredit china, this case is also particularly relevant brand, because it comes only hours off to several other people in an unrelated to case we're also detained here in germany for spying allegedly, for china and on back particular case or not today's, but yesterday's case. i actually spoke exclusively to the head of germany's domestic intelligence agency. and this is what he had to say as good as this one on file. so this case is a particular significant screen. we are dealing with a case of proliferation, which also involves weapons new, have this no haul fund from this case shows that china is also active in germany and that there are cases of proliferation. here you have 45 jones from the federal office. i was involved in the investigation at a very early stage of guiding through the harmonies that meet blowing. once the

investigation was clear, we were able to handle this case over to the police and the public prosecutor. somebody show further information pertaining to the case will be released by the federal public prosecutor. so these and 5 a company came in and tom is, it's not just showing that allegedly spying here in germany is it? so last week i understand we had 2 germans who were arrested, they're accused of spying for russia. so what's going on here? or there are differences, according to a security officials. when you look at people who might be spying for china compared to people who might be spying for restaurant in the chinese k security with results of stress that china strategy there could be long term could be wide ranging could be focused not only on political espionage but also in trying to gather sensitive information from germany that could then be used by china for economic purposes or for military purposes. when it comes to russia. on the other hand, security officials stress that the impacts could be much more short to basically

also sabotage is something that was related to the case only a few days ago and sabotage specifically to affect, for example, gemini support towards ukraine when it comes to political support and the one hand, but also to military support. on the other hand, what both cases however, do have in common is that turning into very important cases. this yeah, for germany, security agencies, any particular for germany's domestic intelligence agency, they have a specific task to look at these kinds of spying operations to see what kind of impact those could have here in the country. so it's not necessarily all new government authorities have been warning for quite some time that that could be an increase in spine cooperation is coming from countries such as russia or china. but these cases that we've heard in the last few days are turning really into very sensitive issues, both from a political perspective, but also from a security perspective as well. our security correspondence always bearing with the latest here in berlin,

thomas is always thank you. the french police say at least 5 migrants, including a small child, died apparently drowned in while attempting to cross the english channel from france to the u. k. the discovery comes just hours after britons parliament passed a controversial bill to send asylum seekers to for one to u. k. prime minister reach you through knack insisting the 1st flights carrying migrants will leave within weeks. but legal challenges to the legislation are expect desperate people making a desperate crossing migrants take rubber boats across the english channel, a 32 kilometer journey to seek asylum in the u. k. britain's conservative government has made its plan to deport the asylum seekers to rwanda. the centerpiece of a policy intended to deter people from making the crossing. in april 2022, the home secretary struck a deal with the wanda's foreign minister to send people there while their claims were being processed. a 6500 kilometer flight from britain to central africa. the u

. k has already invested over 200000000 euros in the plan. hotels and rolanda had been converted to lodgings for migrants. still sitting empty, as, as the plan soon ran into legal challenges. the 1st flight scheduled to depart a military air base in june 2022 was a boarded u. k. supreme court ruled the scheme unconstitutional and seeing it could lead to human rights abuses that prompted the government to introduce a new bill. declaring that rolanda is a safe country, despite a history of mistreating migrants. the bill also orders you k courts to ignore the countries own human rights act, as well as international rules on refugees. the un human rights office wait in last month. the combined effects of this bill attempting to shield government action from found the legal scrutiny directed on the call to basic human rights principles

. supplements called revokes our international human rights and the sign number related obligations following legislation. we urge the u. k. government to take all necessary steps to ensure full compliance with u. case international legal obligations. other critics say the plan isn't just on lawful and humane, but waste for an expensive to one government assessment says that removing an individual would cost $63000.00 pounds more than keeping them in the u. k. it's also unclear just how much of a deterrent effect the plan, whatever have despite all that there has been calls within the european union to adopt a similar scheme. eager to cut down on migration other countries the, the plan as a possible model. well, are you gay whore? he's going to be a good mind. she's following events for us in london. she joins me now from westminster, bigger to the prime minister and his government, they finally managed to get this legislation passed the lowest male on the books.

so what happens next? so many question marks really still remains when it comes to this run the policy. they're all practical questions. so many asylum seekers are actually not in a detention centers. they are in hotels or private accommodations. so people could try and go on the ground to evade those deputations. and then there are lots of legal questions, asylum lawyers, migration groups and use. they will try and argue at the british quotes that the individual clients might phase home if they're being reported to run to. so they know all these individual cases beyond the statistics and bear in mind that the majority of those coming into the okay, why the small groups historically actually had a claim to asylum. so there will be legal challenges not just in the u. k. codes, but also potentially at the european court of human rights. and these are the many

challenges ahead, even though the prime minister is actually conceding that this policy of deterrence can only work if there are regular slides taking of from the u. k. to run the and that really remains to be seen. will it be a plane here? and that over there really be regular flights starting as to 5 minutes to hopes and $10.00 to $12.00 weeks. and you know, as well as i do, very good. the prime minister, he is pledge that the 1st flights to forwarding migrants cheaper one that will lead in 10 to 12 weeks in i'm quoting here, he said, this will happen. come, what may, is it, how realistic is that? so there's a lot of rhetoric behind wood where she's who not says, but she has made is randa policy central to his re election strategies stopped the votes? that's really one of the slogans that he likes to put out as much as much as he kind of what we're expecting is that as soon as these slides do take off and some

slides, well, we'll take off now that this little has paused. so as soon as that happens, that he will then quote for re elections and the u. k. basically, at the back of this run, the policy is bigger than most with the latest from london. we're good, as always, thank you. alright, i'm doing now by a nickel paul, but she's a legal academic and an expert in international lawrence kings college london. miss palmer, it's good to have you. with this, we've heard from the united nations that there are concerns that this bill, this law could violate the what's known as the principle of non reform and or non returned it. could you but explained to our viewers exactly what this principle is and how it applies in this case? so wonderful relates to article 33 of the 1951, richard g convention and edits hot what it's about is preventing states from sending people to another country where they are at risk of being threatened to

having their life all these freedoms rights and on accounts of their race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion. and now in the last year it was the, the u. k. supreme court found that this deal with rolanda, i raised some stretch substantial grounds to believe that there would be a risk of reform. all the risk was not of your treatment to your one to but concerns regarding we're wondering that rwanda's individual refugee determination process could result in an individual being sent to another country. wes stretched ill treatment and, and trips to their life or freedom critical. okay. and so the problem then is not with rebut itself, but the british government, it has tried to address this problem by declaring rewan to a safe countries. so is it addressing the wrong country?

that is exactly the issue at the heart of this is the u. k. externalizing or of its obligations under the refugee convention onto another state. now the other states happens to be, we're wondering this instance because that's the state that they have in migration partnership agreements and now a treaty with. but the real issue is whether it's another state can defer all of its obligations and particularly a 1st world stage onto a developing country state. what be, what are the legalities and bumps here and it isn't legally questionable for 2 countries. and in this case, we've got the united kingdom and we're one to agreeing to such a migration transfer. i mean, what's the legal problem that or so there is certainly an option and it could be

days as the refugee convention relating to responsibility sharing that there was an obligation. there's an implicit obligation on states to determine whether the people who arrive, i'm a show, refugees or not. now this was raised in the legal proceedings before the u. k. codes at the court of appeals stage, but it was not appealed to the supreme court level at the supreme court level. the basis on which the agreement was for wonder was found to be a no full was in relation to the issue of non formal. so the issue became one of whether or not that, but that was the protection that was offered by the refugee convention. now i think there are there roots to challenge both the responsibility sharing, which in which case we have to talk about state's responsibility under the refugee convention to determine the refugee stages of individuals who arrive on their shows . yeah, and currently i'm state mcglatian bill that is not possible here in the u. k. so the u. k is essentially under this current safety of one to bill different all of

its international legal obligations onto another country. and in fact, it saves as much in the bit itself, in which, in which case, a safe country, the definition of a safe country under this bill is one that meets all of the u. k. international legal obligations under the refugee convention. ok, this problem is asking one question before you been a time. i mean have we seen this case before? i'm thinking of the former german transfer under the miracle she signed an agreement with turkey that involved turkey receiving money. and in exchange for that, it agreed to house migrants to keep them from making the trip to europe. are these 2 agreements, or are they comfortable as well? we are seeing this rise and state practice of these requested states the country presents, but they have been other forms of restraint on them, including that of individual fidelity, be sent to another state of the country if they have a connection with that country. and that,

that is relieved under the safety of one to bill. and in addition, there are constraints in relation to the rocks of appeals of those individuals to challenge these decisions. now what we see here in the u. k is the routes to those appeals has now been stuff has now been significantly narrow through only at all and for peel piece before the u. k. codes on individual grounds, rather than on general grounds in relation to, to save your for one to make an appointment with kings. college london is probably appreciate your time and your analysis today. thank you. all right, here's a quick look down some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. a new independent reports as it is real has failed to provide evidence backing up its claim to 12 members of the human agency for palestinian refugees were involved in the october 7th. come off terror attacks. the review panel

commission by the un found that only rucker has procedures in place to ensure its neutrality. but it also says that under has room for improve. police have a rest of dozens of students at a pro palestinian demonstration at new york university. hundreds of protestors, many of them jewish protested despite campus warnings, not to do their universities across the us that seem similar approaches since the israel from us conflict began in october of last year in ukraine. within 2 years after the russian invasion border areas are still coming under massive shelley, a month ago russia launched a wide spread bombardment of towns and villages in the sumi region in northeastern ukraine using missiles and guided ariel box. that needs to be met with residents of a village called believe these are these and with former residents who have fled elsewhere for their own safety. the silly region 6 kilometers from the russian

border before the month varmints in march, 4000 people lived in the village of a league. peace carissa. now about $500.00 are left. the regional government says russian aircraft dropped nearly 200 guided bombs on the community over 2 weeks and march macola and his wife tomorrow state to take care of their elderly parents that you're getting collaborative. what, what did they say for you? my father in law said i was born here. i'm going to die here and that's it. i have to give him food. he can barely stand on his own feet that the police helped evacuate residents from villages near the border while local authorities organized evacuation buses. some villages are now completely empty. in the lake, a piece carissa local infrastructure was destroyed, the administration building,

the hospitals, schools, workers were just finishing repairs on the library when the showing started the mobile. we have so many projects and ideas, but we didn't have time yet. we didn't have time to do it because now i think we've gone down and looked at that and we will restore it again. for more russian air strikes could comment any time we asked the mayor of she is afraid to stay on and work here. sidney. this is my house, this is my home. i am not afraid to tell him the story. this town about 50 kilometers from the russian border, now shelters evacuated, to tell harrowing stories of russian bombardments of sylvia sandy that everything was flying from the sky. when something happened to my ears, i have

a noise in my head and cannot hear when explosions are really scary, unbeatable. the i didn't want to leave. i didn't want to put the last moment shelter. residents are supposed to move on to stay with relatives or find rental housing needs on clear when it will be safe for anyone to return home will enjoy now buying. so let me a brief sketch. she is a member of the european parliament for the pro european hollows party, and she sits on the parliament's committee on national security and defense. it's good to have you with this this afternoon a just like the village they are in our report. there are many places in ukraine's northeast that are constantly under russian fire. what did you say to the people who lived there to help them hold on and to not lose hope? i know, you know, it's a very hard breaking story is, i mean, always when i'm coming to the summer or she needs to be general to park your region

. we have begging them, asking them to recreate at, to move further from, from the and whether it's almost a very big challenge. an issue i, because that's, that's the moment you have to find the arguments that you have to leave your homes . and you see the stories of the young mothers grandfather, some of the age of my grandfather, fathers was saying the that's our home, a little safe despite the other thing that something very unique keeling you know, especially in the vehicle with the same emily, but it was the same and once reaching with the site, that's this when you kind of persuade people to leave their homes because this is, that is and you come from showing and it's that's what is it can take the lights, but still people, they, they are insisting on staying there the she would have or when we can do this way towards this with the children, if they still or they are, we can as sort of as a government speaking thank choosing the time list, which is the villages, at least this is an,

an issue and the discussion board for the villages you'll be asking you to see if this area is, is particularly critical. what needs to happen to better protect people in northeastern new, great. as one of the things we were asking since the postcard vision started, that's about the end to to close discard. yes, that's all the air defense. and hopefully finally the things we um, after after us congress passed, the bill will pass the bill. we'll get tomorrow gets to the a will defense. that's what we need immediately the emulation to the artillery until the rockets showings. and that's how we can at least project. but, you know, obviously what of a c? now the russian a is to have a buffer zone, you know, you need to meet your needs and part of asian between russia and ukraine for 20, even more, even 30 kilometers from our slides from day your sites as well. so to have is

raisal to move further and toward closer to the senior citizens homes. i want to get your reaction either to news the united states. it looks like the united states is finally ready to send on $61000000000.00 in aid and weapons to ukraine. how is this going to improve? how is it going to change the situation on the ground in europe? it, as you know, we have been waiting for the solution to that decision actually seems the, what's the last year i would say it's, it's more than late decision the we are facing. the problem is not only because velocity because we have a blast of russian. so be aware totally 100 percent of what needs a we have on your boarding rounds. oh, look in the parade. and the thing is that even when we get the support would create that we him off what even less than enough just to have a defense operations. and at least when we will get this age on the ground,

it will, it will have, it will come to it least in, in a month or 2 months. it's right. so i'm, we are afraid that even essential abrasions instruction side would be very going to be very effective unfortunately. yeah. ukrainian lawmaker, so let me but raska, we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us today. thank you. the hush money trial, the former you as president donald trump is opened in new york, prosecutors laid out their case accusing trump of election fraud by falsifying business records to cover up paying money to an adult film star. no, this is the 1st ever criminal trial of a former us president. donald trump loves the specialized, but maybe not this one. the former president arrived in quotes for the 1st day of a criminal trial facing accusations of

a legal election interference. the case hinges on whether hush money trumps loya paid to pull and stuff stormy daniels to cover up and a legit affair constitutes a crime. it's a case as to bookkeeping, which is a very minor thing in terms of the law in terms of all the violent crime that's going on outside as we, as we should be right outside as we speak. this is a case where you've been a lawyer. the lawyer that they call it a legal expense. that's the exact term, the legal expense in the bus. but the prosecution argues that those payments involved falsified documents, they a legit was part of a criminal scheme to influence the election by repressing damaging information about trump. pos of that scheme said to have involved form a tabloid publisher,
