sounds the alarm over declining vaccination rates worldwide. and the head of the rio refugee camp on the greek island of less force resigned greece is struggling to turn off a surge of migrants from turkey and that has led to dangerous overcrowding. i'm sumi so much going to it's good to have you with us china has formally summoned the german ambassador to beijing after a meeting between the german foreign minister heikal moscow and the hong kong protest leader joshua walking in berlin this week now during his visit was called on the german government to publicly condemn police violence and abuse of power during the ongoing demonstrations in hong kong now in a direct verbal attack on an important trade partner beijing is warning of negative consequences for relations between china and germany. it was just 30 day

in berlin he came to the german capital with a message for angular machall and other world leaders is a must for the chancellor pay attention to hong kong's protests and showed us a part to hong kong high station safeguard hong kong is not only the responsibility of hong kong people but also the responsibility for world leaders prefer to hong kong to face the next tenement square massacre happened for a decade ago on monday while met german foreign minister must prompting shop criticism from beijing it summons germany's ambassador accusing but then of interfering in china's affairs. the only go. and see what happens you know i'm fortunately have to say will have negative consequences on bilateral relations and china will have to react. to the.

at berlin's home old university just one pack type 3 he had to his message was one have to finance and a strong belief in the power of the protest movement in his home city don't let a youngster or an elderly all we stand as one with our determination to fight for a better future. joshua one signed many supporters in the german capital. i think it be that good job like you do them at like a hero is that he does here he is fair on this about it that he is up a silicate. to a person he's very impressive very brave and he's still very young. i find him particularly admirable because he's risking his life and freedom with his activism. activism will still skillz josh i'm person. i think it's a huge motivation for people who are brought to come closer fraud to. so be motivated and follow closely to what is happening in our home city. many here

tallis they're concerned about joshua wong and what will happen to him when he returns to hong kong such 1st he's heading for the united states where he hopes to gain more support for hong kong's pro-democracy movement. all right let's get some analysis on all of this we have our chief political correspondent linda crane here in berlin and our correspondent in hong kong good to see you both melinda let's start with you so how is the german government reacting to beijing's quite harsh criticism of the joshua ones visit the foreign ministry rejected the criticism saying that it is perfectly normal procedure for the for the foreign minister to meet with a representative of civil society from another country and yesterday in her speech to parliament the chancellor said very clearly that human rights are indispensable to germany in regard to the hong kong chinese tensions and that she had conveyed that message on her visit to beijing last week she also said that germany

absolutely stands by the principle of one land 2 systems when it comes to china and hong kong that said there is an element of caution here in berlin as well the chancellor herself has not met with joshua long and her spokesperson emphasized that this week and this visit by mr wong to berlin is not an official government sponsored visit in any way in fact it is the host of the visit is a german tabloid newspaper the booth sayto and it was a reception by that newspaper that was the place where the foreign minister met joshua was when the joshua one did also hold a press conference here in berlin yesterday what more did he have to say. indeed he had 3 clear messages to the german government he said that he would like to hear a more direct public condemnation of the violence that's been used against protesters and also of abuses of power he also said that he thinks the german

government should stop selling equipment to the hong kong police as long as there is ongoing violence being used by the police in crowd control and thirdly he said that he thinks germany should tie trade more closely to human rights for example possibly suspending trade with china or imposing sanctions and or inserting human rights clauses into trade agreements with china so 3 very clear messages to the german government aren't much yes let's come to you now and get beijing's perspective on all of this why is china so upset about his visit. beijing is extremely nervous about what's happening in hong kong the protests have gone into their 4th month no and they do not show any sign of dying out beijing the hong kong government have tried lots of things to scare away protesters to suppress their movement to calm down the protests none of this has worked and

these protests are now threatening to overshadow beijing celebrations of founding the seventy's and a verse 3 of the founding of the people's republic of china and that is something that is angering beijing of course beijing is trying to limit the space folk for its critics abroad it has been doing so for some years companies who have for example listed taiwan not as a province of china but as a separate entity have felt beijing's and had to change their websites and printed materials and governments have also been under pressure not to meet with beijing's critics in 2005. with the dalai lama it was met was a diplomatic response and economic sanctions by the beijing government she has not met the dalai lama after and no other western leader is meeting the dalai lama has been meeting the dalai lama in recent years and social one who is now one of the

most prominent critics of beijing is probably experiencing a similar thing pressure on foreign governments is mounting not to meet with him not to give his criticism a platform mathias you know what about this direct response from beijing that there could be consequences for ties between china and germany what could that mean. well it starts with diplomatic responses german deployments would not get appointments with senior officials or would hard to get to a point that the senior officials not be. to some events diplomatic events celebrations at cetera and it could go further sanctions on german companies or inspections that german companies suddenly face economic threats and in the end there could also be a boy caught it has happened before north korea japan they all have experienced

boycotts by the chinese public incited by the government on their companies however china at this moment needs germany in this critical period of the trade war with the united states and it is not likely that will escalate to the maximum at this moment but some at least diplomatic sanctions are probably going to be felt in the next few months all right our correspondents munda crane and berlin and that he has been a there in hong kong thank you both very much. now vaccination is one of the greatest successes of public health saving an estimated $2500000.00 lives every year but vaccination rates are in decline leading to outbreaks of preventable diseases around the world it's a problem that will be addressed today by the global vaccination summit and brussels hosted by the european commission and the world health organization. not

too long ago laughter filled this fisherman's family home in madagascar. but now the family is trying to cope with their grief they lost 3 children in january due to a measles infection they couldn't afford to vaccinate them. they had corn and it was all goes we'll but we didn't expect that they might die if they didn't get vaccinated that the fact that they were not vaccinated would kill them. madagascar is struggling to contain its worst outbreak of measles in decades amid a desperate shortage of vaccines. the highly contagious illness increases susceptibility to other diseases and can cause blindness brain swelling and death so far over 1200 people have died in the epidemic most of them children. and madagascar is not alone worldwide many countries are reporting an unprecedented

rise of measles many of these cases could have been easily prevented with vaccination but like madagascar are some countries simply don't have access to the vaccines they need. and in high income countries where they are available some people opt to not vaccinate themselves and their children. they wrongly believe that vaccines are harmful there are absolutely families communities people who are subject to misinformation they have the wrong information about not only the disease severity and the risks of disease they don't understand the truth of the matter but they also have misinformation about the effectiveness of vaccines and the safety effect since and we do see misinformation as an increasing threat. the so-called anti vax movement fears that

vaccines are unsafe ineffective and produce serious side effects saying that they can even cause autism scientists say there is no evidence for any of that. yet the misinformation is gaining momentum on social media now health professionals and governments are looking for solutions including making vaccinations mandatory and imposing fines on parents who refuse in madagascar are over 7000000 children have been vaccinated in an emergency response parents here are happy that vaccinations are available again. many know what losing a child to measles feels like and hope they never have to endure such grief ever again. and for more on the story we can speak to peter salaam and executive director of the world health organization and he is at the global vaccination summit in brussels peter thank you very much for joining us here on d w why is

access to vaccination still such a big issue. well it's such a big issue because there's a tragedy here on one hand you've got the opportunity of one of the most safe and cost effective health services that's ever been invented that's ever been available on the other hand globally you have $20000000.00 children around the world that are missing out including $13000000.00 children they get 0 doses of any vaccine during their life so this is the opportunity that we have to not be complacent but to save more lives including here in europe with with the scenes. we just saw that an increasing number of people do have access but they actually decided against vaccinations and they're at the summit you're actually working on fighting to spread back scene misinformation how are you planning to do that. so there's 22 major issues there those countries that simply children don't have access because they're conflict affected and is about 20 countries like that where

we just really need to focus in and sure basic access to vaccine you know the health services but then there's a growing phenomena that you referred to a vaccine that it's you know people are choosing where they could otherwise have the vaccine not to have it and what we're doing is some really innovative work with facebook with interest with instagram to really use those forums to make sure that people can make the best informed choice but to stop the questioning because questioning is very healthy but actually to make sure that people have access to authority sources and they have the best information when mothers and fathers make that decision of whether to vaccinate or not all right peter from the world health organization joining us from brussels thank you very much. thank you. let's check in now on some other stories making news around the world the body of zimbabwe's former president robert mugabe is lying in state at his private residence in harare his family says he will be buried next week in his home village

refugee camp called moria greece's new conservative government has vowed to dramatically speed up the processing of asylum applications but it says turkey must help too. ismail and his family came to the morea camp in less force only a few days ago since then they've only received a few blankets they're living outside the actual center in a tent camp also to go back it's crowded we live in this tent with 4 families own all there are 16 of us who have been through great danger we knew we could drown we did so our children could have a better future. about 10000 people live in moria in a facility designed for a 3rd as many daily new arrivals join those waiting on asylum requests for months or even years. this is them cannot withstand so such great numbers of people there needs to be generally. acceleration of the asylum procedures in order to be

able to process more people many children live in the camp and that's one reason the new greek government decided last week to prioritize bringing families to the mainland is a plan to install more than a 1000 case workers to shorten the asylum process but greece's turkey is also responsible. we demand that turkey take its responsibilities seriously to destroy smugglers networks. and that they don't allow them to reestablish the refugee routes from before. but i can use ahmed tells us now it's easy to flee from turkey he's tried 7 times but now on his 8th try he made it. last time the turkish police just watched they just let us go. with the turkish coast so close it seems to be an anchor his hands how many migrants make the journey to less worse. ever since the peak of europe's migration crisis in

2015 ws reported on the dangers that migrants face in their attempts to escape their home countries and are on the treacherous sea crossing to europe today we bring you the story of one libyan woman who boarded a boat near tripoli in her homeland of libya she and her young son almost drowned off the libyan coast eventually they made it to malta main port of a letter now they were germany adapting to the challenges of a new life this is the story of nest 3 in her own words. the super that live in. the blue for how the birth consider that idea then the candy how to fill with nick and. how at that time howard let the only kind of clue welcome somehow. in that role so in the can feel. a little feel. for guns are in the blood or in the hard core who have actually like you. feel this are

the story there of one libyan mother's journey to germany it has been 4 years since the height of the migration crisis and libya is not only a country of origin it's now hosting thousands of migrants from other countries and we have christopher high with us here from doctors without doctors without borders rather germ berlin without borders excuse me christophe you just got back from libya you are actually focusing on your organization's libya policy and you just returned from the detention camps there hosting migrants we just saw the report there from this rain how common this is her story a successful story of someone making it to germany. have to say at this point it's very unlikely what we see there is organization working that is

a civil war like situation raging in libya that we have terrible situations in the center centers and people just don't get out why are they able to get out because the system is broke there is a resettlement program run by the un is there is. people supposed to live in these programs for resettlement just as states have agreed to take people out and not taking them out so the people waiting in this facility to get out of libya so that means someone like nasreen could not even make it to germany anymore. my understanding is there is still people leaving the country but it's very unlikely that this high numbers of people getting out of libya tell us more about the detention camps that you visited there you know libya is receiving hundreds of millions of girls from the european union to host the centers what kind of conditions are migrants they're facing. i could say i have worked for the last ones in one of the detention center story is i've been there every day i was working there with the migrants and as i was speaking to them i can say that the conditions

are terrible starts with the living conditions that people sometimes have less than 2 square metres of space of it's just enough to live on the ground there is the difference situation is terrible situation because people haven't seen any hygiene articles or whatsoever for the last 4 months so the situation with. the numbers were for. those infections skin diseases and all these kind of conditions which had you to the conditions of the detention and do people who are in the center still hope to get to europe. and this is i think the main problem is what i see in the eyes of the people in these detention this is a complete hopelessness so there is. you have to understand that the people detained there they have at times 3 years of a journey behind them so there is no way of back. it was a raging from somalia for example but there's also no way out of these situations so the people literally get stuck in d.c.

detentions and as you said they're stuck what are their perspectives. as i said it's difficult because there is no way out of these detention centers and that there is no way back so what we are calling for from the government of germany is to have to be tensions and that they have the according for if a coalition of the people who currently detained in these sent us and be calling for safe harbor us to make sure that people who were rescued at the sea have a place to go right chris of high from doctors without borders here in berlin thank you so much for sharing your insights with us today. this is news these are our top stories beijing has summoned the german ambassador after joshua wong the hong kong democracy activist met germany's foreign minister in berlin long urged world leaders to back the ongoing protests in the territory but beijing has accused germany of meddling in its affairs and has warned that the meeting between wong and the german foreign minister will damage bilateral relations. a global

vaccination summit is underway in brussels hosted by the european union and the world health organization the focus of the meeting is declining vaccination rates which have led to an increase in preventable diseases around the world some parts of the world cannot afford vaccinations but there is also a growing vaccination movement. asked greece struggles with an upsurge of migrants moving to turkey to europe ahead of the overcrowded morea refugee camp on the island of les pauls has resigned the camps currently accommodating around 10000 migrants 3 times the number it was designed to hold greece says it will dramatically speed up the processing of asylum applications. this is d.w. news from berlin you can always find the latest headlines at d w dot com or follow us on twitter at t w news coming up next business with ben fizzle and stay tuned for that.
