himself who says that the director john ratcliffe got annoyed at the degree of leaks and president trump goes on and names the chair of the intelligence committee in the house adam schiff as one of those who could be responsible for such leaks is what president trump said. directorate live in broad information into the committee and the information leaked where there were shifty shifts for somebody else. they leaked the information before it gets in and what's even worse they leak the wrong information and he got tired of it so he wanted to do it in a different form because you have leakers on the committee. obviously leakers that are doing bad things probably not even illegal to link and of course democrats in the house are absolutely enraged nancy pelosi and the chair of the intelligence committee adam schiff have released a statement describing this as

turned out despite a police order for the demonstration to be shut down because social distancing rules were being violated double it came reports from the german capital. for weeks the daily number of new coronavirus infections in germany has been rising yet for these people in berlin what matters most is their right not to observe any restrictions not to wear masks not to follow social distancing and to show their anger at the politicians who have imposed them because of the killing is illegal eilis is illegal the whole government is illegal everything is illegal and corona is just a medium to heavy flu a pandemic that is being used to enslave us humans. that view is not shared by the police who tried and failed twice on friday to persuade the courts to ban the demonstration saying the protesters posed a serious risk mentioning d.m. of and of them was going on and that these are people that we can assume as

coronavirus skeptics have taken no precautions in recent months in a time when infection numbers are increasing we don't believe these gatherings to be responsible. the protesters are made up of many different groups some from the political far left of society some from the far right what unites them is a sense of injustice and rights being lost demonstrations like these pose this country's politicians a serious ethical dilemma forcing them to balance on the one hand the rights of individuals to protest against government measures with which they disagree and on the other hand the rights of the wider community to be protected as far as possible from the risk of coronavirus infection. it's a risk ministers say is growing blame is is just some fruit the problem is the numbers are too high too early given that winter is coming and we don't currently know what effect it will have and how the flu and other illnesses will affect it the numbers are too high at this early stage. that's why they all thora to

use have tried so hard to prevent scenes like these and why they are so fearful of what effect so many people might have when they're in such close proximity to each other without masks dominic kane al-jazeera berlin chris smith is from the radio show the naked scientists he says the protesters are risking wider public health. big numbers is definitely a risk if those people are not observing social distancing and it's very likely that many of them won't i mean obviously you've got to be careful because they may be household groups and household groups can be considered to be a person in the north themselves in one group so that's a bit different but i think some of the tension here is around the question of wearing masks outside and to be quite frank the evidence supporting that measure isn't strong i don't think there's really any justification for a person who's wandering around in the street not me or anybody else wearing a face covering that that really isn't going to help anybody but when you're in

a situation where you can't observe social distancing that's where it might be helpful and the data that we're generating seem to suggest there might be even if it's a small one a benefit from a face covering under those circumstances and that's why governments such as the u.k. government have said in situations where you can't do social distancing like on public transport like in a shop for example where you have less control over where you stand relative to other people then it might be useful but i think people are getting frustrated because they see no end in sight and and to a certain extent you can see how we might be moving to a situation where we now know a lot more about this virus than we did at the outset and as a result we know who the people who are really at risk are and therefore people are saying well 99 percent of people are doing something to protect one percent of people perhaps we should throw more resources at protecting that one percent of people and allowing the 99 percent of people to do what they want to do and to take
