i'm returning to doing some thinking for the next generation along the way as the environment series of global 3000 on t.w. and online. 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 rwandan border today as authorities try to halt crossings in the wake of a 3rd ebola death in the nearby city of goma with a population of 2000000 fears are growing that the disease could spread also coming
11:01 pm
up tonight poland honors those who were killed in the war seoul uprising 75 years ago the futile attempt to drive the nazis out of the country was the biggest act of resistance against german forces during the 2nd world ruled. by brant gough it's good to have you with us in the democratic republic of congo a 3rd person has died of ebola in goma that is near the rwandan border the latest victim is a one year old girl whose father the 2nd confirmed case in the city died yesterday about 2000000 people live in goma so there are fears that just a few cases of the deadly virus could easily become hundreds even thousands it has been a year since the original outbreak of e. . in the north of the d.r. c.
11:02 pm
and that is still claiming law it's. off to a 3rd death in the congolese border city of goma rwanda briefly closed through road a drastic attempt to limit the disease is spread but one that threatens the livelihoods of those who commute between the 2 countries i was late to the border was open again the un saying closure actually makes it harder to contain it or more remote areas where you can go across to me to find a different way when you when that starts to happen the ability to get to see people are symptomatic or not becomes that much more difficult so it's actually docked you know the issue is either country nearly 2000 people have died from it post so far but it's been difficult to tackle the virus because this part of the d.l.c. has seen a complex 20 years civil war being fought between rebel groups and the government 2 decades of conflict means that people living here are suspicious of the authorities
11:03 pm
even those aiming to contain the outbreak and now for the 1st time in this region it's spread to a large border city goma some unknown demanding more action here picketing u.n. headquarters the u.n. now says that to contain the virus it must better predict where it might go next the and we're joined now by trish newport from doctors without borders in geneva switzerland she is coordinating the organization's ebola response trisha's good 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
11:04 pm
people that were risk of having the disease and because of this we have no 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 and one year 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 in the bullet 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 a 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 malaria and they
11:05 pm
don't all have access to clean water so when you ask the population why they're so angry or resistant towards the ebola response they say because he will 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. strong. people. so the people of eckstein 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 need all of the contacts or 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
11:06 pm
getting ebola were never identified as contacts or people that had some link to a confirmed case so we need to be looking at changing the strategy to ensure that there's better access to the vaccine for the affected population. because we've heard. this between the locals the the doctor the physicians coming in to treat. 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 cases 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
11:07 pm
at the technological situation so really we need to be reviewing how we're dealing with the situation we have to be listing 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. the big brother. thank you. thank you very much. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world medics say at least 4 people have been killed by gunfire in the sudanese city man as tens of thousands gathered to protest the demonstrations come as the country's opposition finalizes

11:09 pm
gathered to honor the thousands who lost their lives fighting the nazi german occupation during world war 2 up 235000 polish fighters to part in the battle it lasted 2 months but was ultimately crushed. the sirens sounded at 5 pm shop that's the hour the warsaw uprising began 75 years ago today christina shed 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 exploiting the memories a lot so deep in me that my feelings about the people at the time and the uprising in general are just as strong as they were back then and. then went. on august the 1st 1944 the polish home mommy 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
11:10 pm
heikal mosse apologized directly to the post people share mishra does it i'm like i am ashamed of what was done to your country by germans and in the name of germany shame and wish and i am also ashamed of the fact that it was brushed under the carpet for far too long after the end of the war foreigners the minister's visit was not easy not only because of germany's historic guilt but also due to relations between germany and poland at the moment the lynas criticised warsaw as judicial reforms and poland has reopened the issue of wartime reparations has failed but out so old will go by 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 did not consider the question of reparations as having been resolved without few 1000 pinion. joint commemorations gestures of reconciliation but also a show of strength from poland's nationalist government after all
11:11 pm
a general election is due in just a few months time. well for more saul d.w. correspondent a living accord told us what the memory of the warsaw uprising means to 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 to sorry dates for the pows society we have to remember that only after 89 people could officially openly talk about what happened there and now 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 yet to have done the uprising against the nazi occupation specially for young people it's also
11:12 pm
a very very important issue now because we see research search shows that young 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 a verse 3 that is you know i mean the polish people or is it being increasingly politicized and used to divide this is ard. well indeed it is dividing society i would say i'm standing here in the very center of warsaw. 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 feel your pulse of culture they were paying their owner to the to the fighters so indeed the far right
11:13 pm
is using it but also their government to party the law and justice they say 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 potent early years i see fighting 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 destroyed the destruction of for so the responsibles did not face trials of prison they had yeah they could make careers so actually the poles
11:14 pm
we expect germans to learn more about it to know more about it. and they want reparations a big part of. the polish people think that germany should pay more but all the no i don't think that this over shatters there was the german polish relations i think they will settle these discussions soon. a libya courthouse with the latest on this commemoration 75 years after the warsaw uprising in warsaw and i believe you thank you. fully cristiana rinaldo no show during a u. vent his pre-season friendly in seoul south korea has caused outrage among soccer fans there they're taking legal action after forking out $59.00 us dollars for each ticket event organizers say they were all there was contracted to play at least 45 minutes against a korean league all-stars side but the portuguese forward failed to play even one
