this is d.w. news live from berlin tonight sounding the alarm over the spread of ebola in the democratic republic of congo there was confusion at the border with rwanda today as authorities trying to stop crossings after a 3rd death from the boat was confirmed in the congolese city of goma with a population of 2000000 fears of an epidemic are growing also coming up tonight remembering a huge sacrifice inboard war to today thousands honored those who were killed in
10:01 pm
the war so often rising 75 years ago the futile efforts to drive the nazis out of poland was the biggest active military resistance against german forces in the war plus could be seen to be planning to use force in hong kong that's what some people are reading into the army's release of a video that includes an exercise in riot control. i'm bringing to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome tonight fears of a new al break of ebola are growing a 3rd person has died from ebola in the city of goma in the democratic republic of congo the latest victim is a one year old girl whose father the 2nd confirmed case in the city died yesterday . goma is a city of about 2000000 people so there are fears that just
10:02 pm
a few cases of the deadly virus could quickly infect hundreds even thousands the city is closed as you see right there to the border with rwanda it's been a year since the original outbreak of ebola further north of goma and then outbreak it is still claiming a lot. after another death from a bullet in the congolese border city of goma rwanda closed throughout the trust attempt to limit the diseases spread but one that threaten the life likud of those who commute between the countries but just hours later it was open again with the un seeing border closure actually makes it harder to contain the disease he will find another way there is there are more remote areas where he can do across the nation to find a different way when you when that starts to happen the ability to get to see that the magic are not becomes that it's actually inductive and the only issue is either
10:03 pm
country protesters farther north and congo demanded more hot action picketing u.n. headquarters another death to add to the more than $1800.00 lost to this outbreak no surprise that there is panic and confusion on both sides of the border. and we're joined now by trish newport from doctors without borders in geneva switzerland she is coordinating the organization's ebola response trish is going to have you on the program talk to me how big is the risk of ebola spreading within and beyond goma at this point. there's definitely a risk so right now there have been in the past year more than 2700 people in cases with over 1700 deaths so that's a lot but what's even more concerning is that every week of all the new cases that are identified only 40 percent are people 40 percent were never identified as people that were at risk of having the disease and because of this we have no
10:04 pm
visibility over the at the dimia logical situation we don't know who has been in contact with confirmed cases and that means that there's always the risk of spread . on the fight. far from over what makes it so difficult to contain this epidemic. it's extremely challenging it's the 1st time there's ever been any bola operate in an area with active conflict and it's not so much the conflict it's the lack of trust that the people have to wards the ebola response so from the very beginning there was very little community engagement with the communities since then it has improved but the problem is the communities have other priorities than just evil it's an area where there's a measles very where there's color cases where people are dying of and they don't all have access to clean water so when you ask the population why they're so angry
10:05 pm
or resistant towards the ebola response they say because he is not their priority so we really have to be changing the way that we're responding to people and really working with the communities asking them how they want the response in their communities and asking them what their priorities are in looking at how we can respond to those priorities as well. so the people of eckstein is still experiment which means that it needs to be used and research protocol so it's not something you would use as a mass vaccination you have to do it as a ring that's a nation that's neat all of the contacts are people that were in close contact with a confirmed case and everyone around those people the problem is that's based off of a surveillance system that's working but as i said 40 percent of the people that are getting ebola were never identified as contacts or people that had some link to
10:06 pm
a confirmed case so we need to be looking at changing the strategy to ensure that there's better access. for the affected population and. the goals the. physicians. so how do you get patients to trust you. it's a great question i'll give you an example of what happens when you don't have trust so when you have a confirmed case that confirmed case is supposed to tell someone everyone a list of everyone that was close to them in their lives so that all of those people will be followed for 21 days to see if they develop the signs of ebola and if you don't trust someone you're not going to tell them everyone that's close to you in your life so it's an example of why we don't have this visibility over the at the geological situation so really we need to be reviewing how we're dealing
10:07 pm
with the situation we have to be listening to the community and we have to be giving the communities the control to really direct how they want people of response and as i said before we have to make sure that we are dealing in addressing with the other priorities that the community has like access to health care access to clean water making sure that we're responding to the measles outbreak into the violence and displacement that they're living in. help them to be big brother. thank you and thank you very much. the whole today to mark the anniversary of the warsaw uprising. to honor the thousands who lost their lives fighting the nazi german occupation. of the $35000.00. in this act of resistance which lasted about 2 months it
10:08 pm
was alternately crossed resulting in german forces raising the entire city of war sold to the. the siren sounded at 5 pm sharp that's the hour the warsaw uprising began 75 years ago today. christina said pinsker was just 15 years old at the time and a member of the resistance she lost fellow fighters every day executions were common so she's accurate. the memories are lodged so deep in link that my feelings about the people at the time of the uprising in general are just as strong as they were back then. that i own oldest the 1st $144.00 the polish home army spearheaded an underground war against the occupying german forces after 2 months of fighting the nazis destroyed almost the entire city in an act of revenge 200000 poles were killed german foreign minister heiko must apologize directly to the polish people. share members i'm ashamed of what was done
10:09 pm
to your country by germany and in the name of germany and i'm also ashamed of the fact that it was brushed under the carpet for far too long after the end of the war keep fear. fresh beating foreigners the visit was not an easy one not only because of germany's historic guilt but also due to the delicate nature of relations between germany and poland at the moment belin has criticised was hoarse judicial reforms while the polish foreign minister reopened the issue of water time reparations but out so odd world of i.v. poles rebuilt the destroyed capital by themselves that fact shows that there is a more far reaching issue here and it's the reason why we do not consider the question of reparations as having been resolved at it but out fees that are. joint commemorations gestures of reconciliation but also a show of strength from poland's nationalist government after all a general election is due in just 4 months time. correspondent olivia is
10:10 pm
in warsaw we spoke to her short while ago and asked what the memory of the warsaw uprising means the polish people today well i think it's never been as important as now to polish society and the beginning is specially the beginning of the war so uprising is i would say the most important or one of the most important historic dates for the post society we have to remember that only after 89 people could officially openly talk about what happened there and no it's for the political left and for the political right although there are some some discussions about. how much death been there it should have happened looking at the high toll it took people now all come to the streets to honor the fighters who have yeah who have done the uprising against the nazi occupation specially for young people it's also a very very important issue now because we see research search shows that young
10:11 pm
people got more and more patriotic and catholic conservative so i can see many many youngsters here with t. shirts with nationalist emblems livy you see the people have become more patriotic and remembering this anniversary i'm wondering is this an event is this an anniversary that is you know i mean the polish people or is it being increasingly politicized and used to divide this is. well indeed it is dividing society i would say i'm standing here in the very center of course. and right next to me we saw a nationalist marched starting so far right the far right organized the march which started here while also regular citizens just came here next to a pulse of culture they were paying their owner to the to the fighters so indeed
10:12 pm
yes the far right is using it but also for the government to party the law and justice. they they use it because for them for their politics identity politics is a very big part and for them it's a symbol of a strong poland of an independent and sovereign power that early years i see biting earlier today germany's foreign minister was in warsaw and he apologized on behalf of germany for the horrors that were inflicted on poland is that enough for the people of poland. it's definitely not enough there's a big difference between the german and the polish debates the poles 2 very well remember that the responsibles for the warsaw uprising or what happened after for the murders and for destroying the destruction of more so the responsibles did not face trials of prison they had yeah they could make careers so actually the poles
10:13 pm
we expect germans to learn more about it to know more about it. and they want to preparations a big part of. the polish people think that germany should pay more but all in all i don't think that this over shatters shadows the german polish relations i think they will settle these discussions soon. courthouse with the latest on this commemoration 75 years after the uprising in warsaw tonight only be a thank you. but here are some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world the u.s. president donald trump says he will apply a new tariff of 10 percent on $300000000000.00 worth of goods from china starting next month the announcement occurs after the latest round of trade talks ended earlier this week in shanghai without progress british authorities have ordered a town of more than $6000.00 people to evacuate amid fears that a nearby dam could collapse at any time situated above the town of wally bridge it

us show of force by the chinese troops stationed in hong kong this video released by the people's liberation army is not just about regular military training. also shows soldiers facing down demonstrators. the video will be seen by many as a thinly veiled threat of intervention by the chinese military in hong kong's internal affairs especially when a company by this. message from the commander of chinese forces in the territory major general chandelle shunk spoke of extremely violent incidents happening in hong kong and warned that these should not be tolerated. shunk was referring to the mass protests that have been taking place in the city for weeks often resulting in clashes between demonstrators and police they jane has become increasingly vocal and its condemnation of the pro-democracy protests. on thursday the

10:17 pm
come at a huge cost for beijing it would lead to an international backlash their position in the trade war with america would be weakened the hope of bringing taiwan into the people's republic of china would be destroyed on a very long time so i am sure beijing is still hesitating to take this last step but as a last resort they will be ready to do it and that was monday is spilling of reporting from beijing we want to go now to bangladesh large numbers of or hinge of refugees have been sheltered in camps since they fled mian more 2 years ago just trying to save their lives mean mars military had begun a crackdown in rockline state ethnic or hinges say they were targets while the government of me and martin says that it was just going after suspected terrorists but the un's special records who are on me and more as describe the campaign as
