understand that you've been recording some of what's going outside of your apartment and will hide and we have a clip about let's let's take a look now. was . when explained what we're looking at in hearing in that clip. it was kind of a spontaneous burst of whether they called each other on on the on the phone on the chaplain never was kind of a spontaneous burst of. however he said. enthusiasm be the wrong word but they're trying to boost each others more around goosed everyone's morale so this this come on come on let's go who have. so it's

a very positive thing in that sense you know people are trying to build each other out. and we're seeing this on the street at least i'm seeing this on the street there is there is tension and you know like anything you don't know how much your. your project transference but your you know your or your own tension onto the situation right but when we go out and we've only been out a couple of times we can go to the store and i understand what the student is saying we've been lucky and we're a little bit out of the center so when we go to the store we've seen them stocking the shelves and there's been enough there. the meat was a little short but in general the things are there people are chewing up people who are actually quite polite about waiting for other people. one lady in the store asked me not to take any photos and i respect that you know it makes people uncomfortable. pleasure any pictures direct if all right we'll have to leave it

there a way to press the speaking to us that from china where he's a living and working as a teacher thank you for sharing their experiences with us you're welcome. now officials in the german state of bavaria have confirmed that a 33 year old german man has been diagnosed with a corona virus a state health minister melanie home all said the man contracted the virus from a chinese colleague at a conference in germany that both attended she said varia is well prepared to deal with this and any other cases officials have compiled concise information on the people the infected chinese coworker came into contact with during her visits. him and didn't actually find out if you look at the current case the patient is doing well he remains in isolation in the clinic in munich we had originally attempting to reach people he has been in contact with especially family members and people connected to his company who have already been informed. still feel them are

the spirits in sins and our political correspondent hans brunt was listening in to that press conference he joins us for more hi hans what else did the bavarian health minister say about this case. i think what's most interesting about this case is the way the infection was spread to the german man the woman came from china but she did not come from who han where the infection broke broke all she came from shanghai and she had been visited by her parents from who han just before she left for germany so that's the way the infection got to germany also she did not have any flu symptoms she was asymptomatic all the time that she was here in germany and only on her flight back to china the chief feel sick and then go to the authorities there and there in china in shanghai her infection with the coronavirus was diagnosed so this shows that the transmission of the virus is possible

from people who don't yet have any symptoms of the sickness themselves to people who are in close contact with them the question then is what is close contact and the german authorities have been saying that if you spend maybe of 15 minutes in a conversation with such a person that will probably be sufficient to be infected and what about how prepared the state of bavaria is to deal with a possible corona virus outbreak. well all of the officials that have been talking to the press this morning have been saying that the proprietor asians have been ongoing ever since the corona virus outbreak in china in other words they have been reviewed before even the 1st case was detected here in germany so the pro level of preparation is very high at the moment all the people that were in contact with this chinese woman in close contact with the man the german man who has been infected have been isolated there's been told to stay at home that's about 14

people all in all here in germany that are now on under observation and the patient himself as we have heard is in hospital although he's not particularly ill but he is being looked after in hospital he's being isolated in hospital and the authorities are saying normal hygenic preparation. precautions such as washing hands and regular airing of rooms where sick people might be or staying at these should be a sufficient at the moment to avoid an infection all right our correspondent brand fair thank you. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world iran has announced it is preparing a series of rocket launches to deliver civilian satellites into orbit satellite imagery capturing activity at iran's many spaceport appears to substantiate this claim but washington says it believes iran is using the launch to advance its military ballistic missile program. at least 45 people have been killed in the

aftermath of storms that triggered floods and landslides and some in southeastern brazil more than 100 towns have been put on a state of alert and thousands have been forced out of their homes new zealand's prime minister just as called in general election for september arjun grabbed global attention for her response to a terror attack last year but she has taken a hit in the polls as the country's economy has been struggling. and u.s. prosecutors say britain's prince andrew has been dodging their requests for help in their investigations into the late sex offender geoffrey epstein and his associates the british royal had promised to assist investigations into epstein's alleged sex trafficking of minors in a number of countries. israeli president reuben rivlin has begun a 3 day trip to germany together with his counterpart from other steinmeier he was welcomed at a jewish high school right here in berlin the moses mendelssohn high school is open to both jewish and non jewish students and

a high profile visit comes amid an alarming rise of anti-semitism in germany. where on monday rivlin and steinmeier attended commemorations at auschwitz marking the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the nazi death camp the last survivors join world leaders and dignitaries to bear witness. reliving the horrors of auschwitz. the bag in the edged over his face. and yet despite the pain these holocaust survivors have returned to this former death camp to remind the world where anti semitism and racism can lead.

in front of the gates of auschwitz known as the gates of death a commemoration ceremony in which delegates from $61.00 countries are taking part and $200.00 auschwitz survive is each with that terrible memories of what happened here i remember that she was there to make it to women in trucks from the barracks to a gas chamber i can hear. screaming i can hear it in my subconscious when i remember the infamous you. elsa baker who's blind was 8 when she arrived at auschwitz she was one of the 23000 sinti and roma people to portage here it isn't it all not for me to to be here among so many people who have suffered so page me perhaps even much

more so than i. and. i think. it is but. if i'm upset. but in spite of the past anti semitism is on the rise again in 2020. we hear the same lies the nazis used so effectively in their propaganda they said jews have too much power jews control the economy and the media jews control governments jews control everything we have this madness online in the media and even within democratic governments. these brave men and women know the cost of anti semitism they can't fake it but it already seems that too many

listening when on the show and for more on the story we can speak to pinch goldschmidt he is the chief rabbi of moscow and president of the european conference of rabbis mr goldsmith thank you so much for joining us here on d w we were seeing those images of survivors speaking yesterday saying it is so important to remember it it seems that message is more urgent than ever at least that's what we took away from those ceremonies yesterday why is that. in order that the suffering should not be in vain to give meaning to those in a lot of people who did not survive but it's the last words was the scribbled on the wall was never forget and i think that this is the message to our generation and to the future is in order for this not to happen again we're not there not to forget our people listening to that message. i think that the fact that 50 heads

of states when jews and last week to come away with 50 years at the 75 years of the bush of auschwitz the fact there was just great effort in auschwitz yesterday speaks for itself speaks volumes. there will be a time in the future which are portals to look like looked at were those survivors will no longer be around to take part in the ceremonies how do you carry that message forward. the message is cared for forward through i think that today in europe which is wished it is almost 500000000 citizens every person every child every school child should be one day in his life should go visit auschwitz just see what can happen in the center of of the world culture in the center of woods who decision what can happen if things go wrong it

just hate this intolerance be can end up in auschwitz what about the fact that we're seeing at the same time as we're remembering auschwitz we're seeing a rise of an anti-semitism not only across europe for right here in germany why is that. there's a lot of political turbulence the european project is on the question and when things are fine when the know it cannot have difficulties so people don't so much to blame the other today because of such problems because of the fears experienced by a large part of the european population so we're looking always to blame don't want the immigrant to jew so this is the reason why at this time it is no reoccurs but. i have to say that a large part of this resurgence of anti-semitism is because of the social media

social media is totally an edited contents full of of. of people who are totally unbalanced can an influence millions of people so radicals can influence means of people and they are being given this platform they don't even have to pay for it and this is the great danger and i think the part of the political troubles today is defeat a ride all those people have on the social media mr grossman you also rebuilt the jewish community in russia after going there in the fairly early ninety's looking at the jewish community you have in moscow and also across russia but also non jews how do you teach them to remember what has happened and to carry that into the future what is the message that you give them the message. we give to our coast citizens in all those countries where today the is again

a jewish community and i think the revival of the jewish communities in eastern europe after the fall of the wall is has been one of the great miracles of our times and i thank god that i was able to do my little part in this the renaissance of the jewish meeting in eastern europe and i think that when was tell the governments the fact that you have today a functioning jewish community in your country this is adding to the beauty of your country and your place so i think this is a message to which it is being received with a lot of understanding we'll have to leave it there the chief rabbi of moscow president of the european conference the rabbis thank you for joining us here and of you thank you for having me. now in lebanon there has been no letup in protests

despite a new government that's been installed to address protesters frustrations on monday security forces fired tear gas at demonstrators trying to stop lawmakers from entering parliament where a new budget was approved now on top of the political turmoil the middle eastern country has been grappling with a deepening financial crisis as well. reporter you bring him travel to the capital beirut where she spoke with one young protester who sat up with politics as usual in love and on. the. show has been protesting on the streets of lebanon since october 17th. for her this is personal. been there weren't in my home and this is part of the why i remember the stuff between my school and university because i couldn't because it's so expensive this is part of the why i remember electricity being of a minute being capable of turning on the heater when i was in my family this is

right there the one. she's not the only one failing economy white spread unemployment and in adequate public services have taken their toll on lebanese from all walks of life. and others doing career politicians for lebanon's problems. some of them has been there ever since i was born 922070 speaking with the name of the people while generations are rising within the thinking within the foreign consciousness within the indication when i was born i felt that after 2 weeks of demonstrations the prime minister resigned in late october and a new government was formed. but many like perla want more. of a. way for things to work today is to actually. move this. more you political. group of people the through over 4 years lebanon needs

to. get out of with 63 and system and its politics. getting rid of lebanon sectarian system which protesters say hinders reform and fosters corruption isn't as simple as changing a government. the country has 18 officially recognized religious groups and they all have to somehow participate in government. parliament seats are divided among most of these groups even the 3 highest political offices are allocated based on religion the quota basis jim has roots in lebanon's history and was reinforced following the country's civil war and there are some like lawmakers alone the disagree with protesters and still see a need for the system its needs of the needs of course you know all these are diversified societies and you need

a minimum of safeguards to ensure everyone that they are being able to to get their rights you cannot move from a sectarian government and system to a secular one from a day to another it's a process i support the process but not to an overnight switch. probably knows that getting to bigger goals will take time but says the social cohesion born out of the movement has brought the country one step closer to change . she's convinced her presence on the streets is necessary for that change to continue. abraham was reporting there in lebanon she's now back in berlin and with us here in our studio to tell us more about the story hi we saw a parallel incredible story there of how she's been driven to to protest tell us more about your experiences talking to other protesters what keeps them going out

into the street day after day so you know this protest movement has been going on for 3 months it's unprecedented in its cross sectarian cross religious cross region and also cross class really cuts through all the lebanese population and in all its should and colors and if we could summarize the impression from all of these people is that people are really just fed up they feel like they're living in 219-2020 they're still struggling to get basic services we as we were they were experiencing up to 6 hours a day of electricity cuts roads are dangerous hospitals are under for an affordable unemployment the country lebanon a tiny country of 4000000 people has the 3rd highest debt to g.d.p. ratio in the world so people are just are done and they feel like you know at this point they deserve better and they've given the system what they are telling me enough chance their generation and their parents or their grandparents and they're done with it they're fed up and in particular they're fed up with the sectarian system on the other hand this is

a system that was put in place to reflect and respect all of lebanon's ethnic and religious groups to make sure that they are included so how can they push forward with were forms but also remain inclusive i mean lebanon is really a unique country in the middle east no other country has this kind of diversity and the sectarian political system was an experiment to try and make that happen i don't think anybody i have spoken to is necessarily against the idea of inclusion they just say that this particular iteration of the system has not brought them what they want instead it has been used by politicians to further foster. divisions they say it i mean we mentioned in the report that this you know parliament is divided government high political offices are divided but also you know the sectarianism goes in in you know giving the public jobs for example so in ministries and in the public sector a lot of the protesters said you know this has fostered such a client to ism that a functioning public services system for all lebanese is just coming as 5th or 6th

or 7th priority and not being put in the forefront and they want to you know try something different and i also feel like there's a generation like paranoia in the country to relate with the trauma of the civil war anymore and they don't really need they don't remember that they don't see a need for themselves to be divided by their sectarian identity 1st in the way that they vote and in being lebanese 2nd they just don't have that memory anymore ok so this is a big shift in generations there just just quickly do you think we've seen any progress under the new government well this government really has you know 2 to kind of problems to deal with they have the this huge test to see lebanon out of. a crisis so they're not getting in a correct you know an easy they're not coming in with an easy task but also you know there's a there's a lack of trust from the streets in this government precisely because in its formation they saw a lot of the old maneuverings between parties and so it remains to be seen as just

been one week since they've been place all right abraham reporting for us thank you so much for sharing that story with us. you've been watching and good of you news coming up next is kick off or review of bundestag action on match day 19 stay with us.
