be our guest at frankfurt airport city managed by for. this is the w.'s live from berlin and demonstrators return to the streets of hong kong even as the government invokes emergency powers thousands of protesters with faces covered come out in defiance of a new ban on face masks the government of the chinese territory has threatened to take a hotline if 4 months of violent protests do not and also on the program. with an

increasing number of refugees arriving in greece through turkey d.w. reports from inside europe's biggest refugee camp the children growing up in tents and shipping containers. i'm still go welcome to the program thousands of protesters have returned to hong kong streets despite emergency powers invoked by the government many aware of the sort of facemask that have now been banned under a law that's just taken effect protesters could face up to a year in jail for wearing full or partial face coverings. the government must act now that's the message from hong kong's in battle leader kerry lam she said the territory is facing a serious crisis as she invoked laws last used in the 1960 s. . and i would say that we are now in rather extensive and serious public danger.

it is essential for us to stop violence and restore calmness in society as soon as possible. we hope that the new legislation can help us to achieve this objective. but on the streets defiance protesters seemed determined to stay resolute in the face of what they see as another curb on their rights protesters are wearing masks to frustrate the orthorexic and their employers from identifying them. we're grooming the masses wearing the mask isn't going anywhere we have the choice to wear a mask or no we have the hong kong police are also wearing their masks when they're doing their job and they don't show their passes or their numbers we can't complain about them anymore so i will keep my mouth on everywhere. with chinese flag burning is part of the street demonstrations the new law shows no sign of extinguishing the

demonstrators determination. so let's get more of this from the doctors the sherry chan who's been covering the protests well sherry process is as we saw in the report they're clearly not happy about these new emergency measures right so there is a really huge anger in the society after the end non-student of this law because this emergency law that the government is using is actually a color new iraq emergency law it was established in 1922 and hasn't been used for more than 50 years and so this law can actually let the chief executive to bypass and the legislative process to pass that she says necessary and so there are many sectors in the society who are actually criticizing the use of this law human rights organizations law makers and even. lawyers course they also can. so. if we do what she likes and doesn't have to refer to anyone if she uses this

law to act other laws she basically can bypass the legislature write this talk about the mosque in particular because this is this house caused a particular. amongst people because in hong kong many protests using a face mask to protect themselves to stop themselves from being identified because they fear into retaliation from hong kong among from the chinese government and also actually from there also from their companies because in hong kong there are lots of shops and restaurants or even companies they have a lot of interest in china and some of them are even. chinese companies so inside this company a lot of pressure from china and. they are actually always trying to stop their employees from speaking out or showing their support for the protests and these

employees are even fearing to speak out on this social media so they really use a face mask to protect themselves from to stop themselves from being identified the whole country if you carry her live is that she needs these new powers to calm everything down. all these new laws likely to change everything here is really ironic because when the government and a lot they said that this is a measure to the escalate the situation and to stop the violence but actually before the announcement during the day and right after the announcement you can see clashes everywhere in hong kong across the city and you can also see an escalation reticle protests yourself and you can see they're setting up barricades or they even setting a fire in chinese owned shops and so this is actually the opposite of what they're calling money. trying to achieve so briefly what fears do hong kong as hard as this

is this government crackdown increases so they are all saying that once law has been used once and the government can actually use this law any time and now they even fearing that the government would use this law to ban social media such as telegrams online forums that the protesters have been using to organize their demonstrations and they are also fearing that more a rest can be made because now the protesters cannot protect themselves with the face was good to do thank you for clearing that up for us thank you. for not to greece where a very number of refugees arriving has risen sharply the u.n. refugee agency says that in september alone more than 10000 people mostly afghans and syrians landed on the greek islands by way of turkey one woman was killed and 17 people injured after a fire broke out of an overcrowded refugee center over the weekend the morea camp on the island of last ross is europe's biggest it was designed to hold 3000

refugees but currently houses almost 13000 d.w. reporters max seif reports from the body count. this tent outside greece's largest refugee camp is home to 4 people. iman who fled syria has been living here for close to a month the morea campus 4 times over its capacity so thousands are forced to live in the surrounding all this growth. over a cup of tea i'm on tells us what life in the camp is like crowded dirty and dangerous every day every day and that's normal if you are fighting inside. yeah. bye but that we can to hear. we don't want to you don't want to drop in with anyone. but problems in moria are

hard to avoid a fire broke out at the end of september in the camp and at least one person died residents rioted in anger as the firefighters put out the flames and they broke into administrative offices and that was. 7 since that incident i am on says trash has accumulated in heaps he believes the garbage collectors are too afraid now to come to the area. its children who suffer most from the dire conditions they live in. the aid organization doctors without borders runs a mobile clinic next to the camp today they will see about 100 children a normal caseload. the most common ailments are fevers lice skin conditions but psychological trauma is on the rise. the organization says many children in morea camp have inflicted harm on themselves and have even attempted suicide in the case

he said we are seeing of children traumatize from their a country of origin is for the completely. difficult journey that they took to reach europe to reach at least most and they end up here in a calm completely overcrowded we don't know services and safe and secure the conditions the mental condition of the children are degree day to day by day this is daily life inside a refugee camp packed with more than 10000 people a result of the resurgence and see crossings to lesbos the trip from the turkish coast to this beach takes about 2 hours and more migrants are making this journey than at any other point since 2016 when the european union signed a deal with turkey to prevent them from coming now with thousands waiting on this and other greek islands for their asylum applications to go through people here tell us the situation has become a crisis a situation that worries younus master again as he is the mayor of moria the small

town right next to the camp. like many people living here he feels lesbos is being left to fend for itself. if you have it up in another chair maybe europe should show more solidarity and support greece with this problem greece alone isn't capable of dealing with this large number of refugees the e.u. member states have to help take in people and at the same time increase the pressure on turkey to stick to their side of the agreement if it was the issue of one europe where if you pull it off you're. back in the camp i'm on says he doesn't want to be a burden on anyone all he wants is a safe place to live. and he hopes to find this place before winter. it's been more than 70 years since the soviet red army captured by the nazi regime the fate of thousands of soldiers who fought during the 2nd world war in europe is still not known one of the biggest battles before the fall of but it took place along what's now the german polish border. for the campaign to cross the river and

capture a strategic high ground on the approach of the german capital costing the lives of more than $40000.00 soldiers on both sides their remains are thought to be scattered around places like this like the village of placid here on the german side of the border a group of volunteers is now trying to locate the remains of those soldiers german and soviet so they could be buried with dignity. a swiss anthropologist and an italian student dig carefully around the skeleton this searching for bones and clues about the age and identity of the deceased the 6 sets of remains found at this excavation they believe he was a soviet soldier. there were left on the battlefield when the war ended because there were too many bodies to bury them or they were also placed in military trenches or shallow pits then covered it was sorry. to.

be stiff and that with heavy fighting in early 1945 claimed the lives of thousands of german and soviet soldiers many of the war dead still life here. to find them members of the group the association for the recovery of the fallen in eastern europe has been excavating the old trenches. digging twice a year they've exceeded the remains of more than $200.00 soldiers so far. you're happy because you find them but you need if you have a lot of problems how do you take him out right is anything broken so there is of course it's right there because you found him there is problems if you have to solve as well. that's why 40 specialists from across europe historians answer apologists and archaeologists are collaborating on this project they're doing so on a volunteer basis using their vacation time to look for soldiers' remains the

associations chairman. is an entrepreneur from hamburg he has a personal motivation for his involvement his grandfather was among the soldiers killed in world war 2. but we're here because we want to resolve the fates of the soldiers who senselessly lost the young lives and at least give them back their names with dignity proper grave and the name. in order to later identify the dead the volunteers very carefully remove the remains from the ground the greater the number of personal objects they find the greater the chance of identifying them and notifying families about their missing relatives this rarely happens but 23 year old danielle hammond has experienced it once was a moment that was the moment when i realized. that this is hugely important work.

with our efforts and if you left over papers that were lying around somewhere for more than 70 years that person's faith could be revealed for the family all right. the next day it's a military cemetery the volunteers together with local residents bury their recovered remains of 15 german soldiers in a dignified ceremony. this is also the end of one year of research so it's almost like you follow the days there the all across their cycle from there emerges from the ground and that's something quite powerful to behold. next spring the volunteers who. to return and search for more fallen soldiers thousands still remain undiscovered and all those here know that any a small number of them will ever be recovered. this
