a turning point to the just on but it was wet or the one launched has bothered to go courier as me or 2 years ago. know many of these potentially challenger following in his footsteps here in germany, a new law partially legalizing cannabis, has come into effect at midnight. hundreds of gathered in central berlin to celebrate the moment under the legislation, over 8 seems can now possess up to 25 grams. in public, for personal use and cultivate up to 3 plants at home. but the legislation has its critics who point to health and law and order concerns. germany's conservative opposition say they'll revoke the law if they get into power. we smokers in germany are lighting up legally for the 1st time from april. first, many are celebrating kenzie, you know the pictures when carol's out loud out to pester for the 1st time after winter. they jump with joy,

and of course that will be us at the beginning of april. but the new cannabis measures are only a partial legalization. so what do they mean exactly? adults over 18 in germany are now allowed to carry up to 25 grams of cannabis on them. they can smoke weed in public, but not within 100 meters of schools, sports facilities, or playgrounds. people can also grow up to 3 plants at home and store up to 50 grams of cannabis for personal use. for now, there won't be any shop selling it directly to customers. the only way to buy, we've legally will be through a so called kind of a social club membership, but only from july 1st sorts itself. and the social clubs can have up to 500 members. and they all actively participate in the kind of bas production with working for each individual member. and then the club can grow up to a suite plans and conducts produce the members monthly supply, which is a maximum of 50 grams. and then give it to then the unit on the side in

berlin, people hope of the new law will reduce the illegal market for the drug. i think make an assertion, it's a good idea and all because it decreases the black markets, which is essentially the robot because people are buying stuff and they don't know what's in it. it's better to regulate, just regulated the whole whole process then just have a black margin while many in germany are celebrating, some have raise concerns about the legalize ation. while police union say it will be hard to enforce regulations checks and penalties. doctors are worried that the new law sends the wrong message and plays down the dangers of cannabis use and the diction. before we go, let's get a reminder of our top story at this hour. as well as military says, its troops have withdrawn from gauze, as i'll see from hospital a claim to have found weapons and other valuable intelligence and say scores of hamas and other militant fighters have been killed during what they describe as a successful military operation. that is your news update office our
