the risky choice to become a citizen journalist and to fight government efforts to control information in front of be is the virus and behind me is the legal and administrative power of china as long as i live in the city you know i will continue to report i only report what i see what i hear. you well i'm not even scared of death you think i'm afraid of the communist party. trainers gone he disappeared last week and has not responded to messages so far authorities would only say he has called under control the sea international say he's been forcibly quarantined. and he's not the only one to pay the price for defying state authority the blogger finding bin took this video from a hospital and. it seems to show body by victims of the virus and then he received a menacing knock on his door. wouldn't you want to know. what do you.

correspondent. let's use a government as a huge job trying to control the spread of the coronavirus that as we could not report this growing anger among people what are you hearing that. yeah these 2 cases that we've just heard fung been unturned soules sure they were among very few people who uncovered what was happening as the state media do not dare to report many things that are happening in there and that these 2 have disappeared is of course a sign that the government is trying to control information even tighter than they have before i spoke to which until sure about 2 weeks ago and he told me that he did expect something like this to have more he was aware that it could

happen and now he has disappeared he disappeared the same day when he went along that doctor who 1st uncovered information about the virus disappeared and of course this has angered people a lot of people do not trust the information they get from the government they do not trust the figures nobody knows whether the figures we are seeing are accurate that is in part because. testing kits are lacking and not everybody can be diagnosed we are getting a lot of reports from one about people who are not yet tested but people also do suspect their government is trying to cover up certain facts as they have before and as they have admitted that they had before and let us all do this propaganda says anybody who tries to cover up the extent of the outbreak will be punished the opposite seems to be happening.

it is not the opposite that the opposite was happening before the state said it now we are seeing more numbers we are seeing more information but what we are not seeing is an independent verification of that information so it is very hard to judge now what we can believe and what we cannot believe there are no independent join or lists who come report from the ground and their experts are also very limited international experts are also very limited in what they can do it is this cold droll of information that the government is exercising that is making people here very wary of what you're hearing right in beijing thank you very much for that update live in having at it with some of the stories making news around the bud.

does police say 2 suspected letter bombs exploded early on wednesday one went off in the mailroom of an office building in amsterdam the other at a post sorting company in southeastern city of quetta on the border with germany no injuries were reported in either blast. says to clean venezuelan president juan why do says he has the backing of the free ride in his bid to overthrow president nicolas maduro one who was speaking on his return from a 3 week global tour where he was received as venezuela as head of state in the u.s. france and in britain. pictures have emerged of the devastation caused by last week's deadly violence in kazakhstan reports say ethnic conflicts clashed with members of the doomed guns a muslim group at least 10 people were killed the violence broke out in the southern john bill region many doing guns fled across the border into nate the neighboring republic of kyrgyzstan. dicky's president john says his

country will do whatever necessary to push back the syrian regime and by the end of the month the turkish leader has threatened to attack regime forces quote everywhere from now on if any turkish forces are harmed at observation post or as for in syria and john also made a reference to the escalating tensions in the humanitarian situation there. the regime as well as the russian forces and the iran backed militants acting with it immediately continuously attacking civilians committing massacre at causing bloodshed. that may now draw indeed obvious correspondent in turkey in istanbul who dionne as we just heard strong words from are we heading for a further escalation in or an already very tense situation.

well right now there is no reason to expect the situation on the ground to calm down we just heard present edwin there leshin now to russia and iran the syrian regime's top backers they have been supporting bashar al assad's deadly offensive on syria's last rebel held the best chain of problems also off about 3000000 people and. while the syrian regime and its backers say they're fighting terrorists in 8 lives they have also bombed hospitals schools civilian infrastructure sending hundreds of thousands of people to flee now mr ed one's there to retaliate if more turkish soldiers were harmed of course have to be seen against the backdrop of the past 10 days because at least 14 turkish soldiers were killed in direct military clashes with syrian regime forces these were the most serious

direct confrontations between turkey and nato member and the syrian regime in the past nearly 9 years that the syrian war has been going on so right now there is little reason to expect things will ease down the turkish side is trying to exhaust diplomatic channels there has been a phone call between president edwin and russia's president putin a turkish delegation is also expected to go to moscow in the coming days but from what we gather from public announcement already the kremlin and ancora are accusing each other of breaching certain agreements and this of course is no good news for the situation on the ground exactly what does all of this mean for the humanitarian situation for the people it live and the surrounding areas. well from what we understand the syrian regime pushes on with its offensive on if they are currently trying to seize a key national highway there and for the civilians this just means that they have

to fear for their lives 700000 civilians have fled in the past 10 weeks alone according to the united nations this is more than at any other time of timeframe in the syrian conflict the un have also been warning that it could turn into a graveyard if hostilities continue this of course also in part explains why turkey is so invested here because it neighbors it lifted the neighboring country and it would have to deal with the humanitarian consequences should it live for. you in istanbul thank you very much for this update from there you're watching the news still to come one woman's fight to regain what the nazi regime to from what she wished and says to is german citizenship why she has been to or to know.

the trust of the u.s. presidential hopeful bernie sanders has won the democratic primary the state of new hampshire the lift leaving u.s. senator one with about 26 percent of the vote sanders says he now has the momentum as the democratic party decides on a candidates to challenge president donald trump november's election but moderates insist the contest is far from over. it's the 1st clear win in the democratic party's nomination fight a new hampshire choose very moment senator bernie sanders. and let me say. that this victory. is the beginning of the end but donald trump. sanders betov a strong challenge from p.p. to be triumphed in iowa caucus he congratulated sanders and called for unity.

so many of you turned out die hard democrats independents unwilling to stay on the side on the sidelines and even some newly former republicans and we can't defeat the most divisive president in modern american history by tearing down anybody who doesn't agree with us 100 percent of the time. president trying to twist here to slam the democratic candidates describing sanders as crazy berni and mocking prestigious star name in this primary amy club a trial was a surprise 3rd place with elizabeth warren and forward and former vice president joe biden in face he is adamant that the race for the nomination has barely started so i think. we just heard from the 1st 2 of the few states. all right come from us the opening bell. not the closing bell. the fly and dollars from the president just have our.

victories behind those popular vote and oil war and the big 3. growing 3rd of the hour we're going to south carolina where the windows search for. the democratic contest is shaping up to be a battle between barry sanders and pete. you say created by for decades and clashing political ideologies but united in one shared goal post president trump. now during the 12 years of the not sadistic to ship cousens of germans fled the country many of them were stripped of their citizenship on political racial or religious grounds and the country s'posed for constitution so to amend that with the clause promising fully german citizens and their descendants shall on application have their citizenship restored in reality though

a lot of applicants are rejected in 2018 germany received about $4600.00 applications for german citizenship under the so-called article 6116 some 1400 were approved most about 2 thirds were rejected many of those whose claims are rejected feel they did not get a fair hearing a british lawyer is taking up their case and says a german government is violating the constitution. muscling marx was born in sao paolo brazil thousands of kilometers away from her ancestral home in germany. my grandfather a left germany fled actually in 1937 he was only 21 years old when he left and he fled to brazil he this was thanks to the smothers foresight because she kind of knew that something was coming he was writing not allowed to

stay at university where he was studying at the time so in a way he wasn't anymore a full citizen under the nazi regime tens of thousands of jews was stripped of their rights and german citizenship now marcella is fighting to get it back my brother and i felt very close to the german culture since a very young age to a study date in a water school in brazil with german school and we always had this references from germany and european coach are present in our houses article 116 of the german constitution enables germans persecuted by the nazis as well as the descendents to have their citizenship are stored but marcelle is application was rejected on the grounds her grandfather left germany voluntarily. and he told me that it was he had left her alone terribly it was appalling to hear something like that it was yes

so we were angry but yes we we knew that they are fighting for a right cause a just cause muscle as soon learned that she wasn't alone and joined forces with a lobby group exclusions group article 116 which helps hundreds of people who have been rejected. in january the group brought the debate to the bundestag felix coachmen and his wife isabelle founded the group in 2018 they want to see a new more general law to prevent exclusions from article 116 this time the motion was narrowly rejected the majority. if parliament believes that to decrease passed last august to ease restrictions are enough but some descendants are still excluded or facing bureaucratic hurdles. back in london felix couch mn isn't giving up. the decrease or discretionary.

relief offensively but 116 fundamental basic rights and people where they can't get back their loved ones who they lost in many cases their property because that park lost but they can't get back one thing and that's german citizenship. or has now applied a 2nd time. it's something that i have to do to honor the ones that are not here anymore and i think by germany allowing in acknowledging us as citizens this is only going to contribute to have a more fair just and a more diverse. germany in the future almost 3 years since applying again marcella is still waiting for a reply. he was one of the correspondents who find that report a welcome kate must. be heard new report was rejected tell us more about why she

feels this was an unfair decision and what's the state's position on it well marcella basically feels that the reason given is simply full service idea that her grandfather fled to brazil in 1937 voluntarily and gave up his citizenship voluntarily when he later married a brazilian no of course history tells us that that is also simply not true and as a jew like tens of thousands of others in germany marcellas grandfather was persecuted during the nazi regime so he was able to escape but when it comes to the states physician they are very much looking at the interpretation of the law on a case by case basis but at the same time many applicants feel that they are being made to tick boxes and on that. in that case sometimes they're missing out on

having their citizenship are stored now the the state did indeed relax or try to relax the law by introducing to decrease and say for example now some applicants can apply through that mother's heritage through that mother's lineage which previously was not possible but even in those cases some people are still excluded there's still a lot of red tape involved and also a waiting times of even a couple of years no muss it is the case is not an isolated one that many others and they form that initiative called the 116 initiative what are they hoping to achieve well what they want to see is that this is no longer a battle for them they feel that this is should be a right and so they want to see a new law something that encompasses everyone that would be affected. following those circumstances in which people were stripped of their citizenship between 1000 the 3 and 1945 and want to ensure that that is passed on or say to their descendants and they also want to see an apology from the german authorities as

well as many of the applicants who have been rejected already and intend to apply again feel that they have been mistreated with a lack of respect and have received in these rejections a very formal and direct and bureaucratic letter which of course is very much the opposite to the emotion that's involved in this kind of decision to try and regain german citizenship and in your assessment kate how likely is it the parliament will make changes to the constitution and right with these people see you started to draw well it seems at least during this legislative term that's very unlikely the conservative party of very much against it but that said when it went when the proposal for the law was violated on just a couple of weeks ago in the bundestag it was very close and it came to what we call here how much polling and actually all of the m.p.'s had to leave polman and come back in through doors to show where they supported or rejected the propose. and the conservatives had to very quickly go and collect as many of their m.p.'s

that were in parliament that day to come back in and vote so that they could reject that law but there is a lot of support from the greens and also dealing to the left party here so we could possibly in future in a different government in a different combination see indeed a change to article 116 so it's too simple for people like les cilla get busy thank you very much for shedding light on this issue. a new surfing event in portugal has been modified a serious accident so far a ball of water leo was being towed back to shore on the back of a jet ski when a huge wave flipped it he was rushed onto the beach unconscious and was rushed to hospital where he's in stable condition the central coast of portugal has some of the biggest waves in the world. to formula one on the glamour team for it already have unveiled the car they hope

a lot so i think we had the opportunity to obviously see it a little bit before and to have also a direct comparison with last year's car and you can really spot the difference especially when it comes to packaging and the back part of the. vettel is main problem last season was his own teammate charlotte clare the 22 year old from monaco outperform the german and several incidents led to speculation their rivalry was causing problems left left believes he can do even better this year the approach is a little bit different just because now i know the team i know more as the cow. but it's still an improvement of last year we've been working all together to make it better. and to be more ready for for the shia world champions miss avies revealed their new look car on monday they hope it will power titleholder lewis hamilton to a 7th championship equaling michael schumacher his record of. ferrari
