an exclusive report from a destroyed city. in the sights of our yes starts may 20th on w. . this is c w news live from berlin and britain now has the worst death toll from the corona virus in europe the latest data show that more than 32000 people have died more than in italy the british government's chief scientific advisor at mit's that not enough testing was done in the early stages of the pandemic. also coming up just across the channel in the grounds of the pandemic piles on the misery for the

migrants camped out near cali they were already facing desperate conditions now many are telling you they are facing police abuse as well and germany issues that arrest warrant for a russian national believed to have hacked into the german parliament in 20 teams of the suspect is also a wanted man in washington. i'm sorry kelly walked into the program fresh data from the u.k.'s office for national statistics reveals a more than 32000 people have died from cope with 19 that is the highest number in europe and 2nd only to the united states globally well now we're trial of mobile phone apps has just begun that authorities hope will help contain the outbreak. the isle of wight the new testing ground for

a contact tracing app that could be rolled out across the country. but with britain now registering the highest number of covert related deaths in europe is it too little too late even the government's chief scientific advisor has now admitted failings. and maybe you don't think yeah we could have done differently there i think if we'd managed to ramp testing capacity quicker it would be beneficial and . you know for all sorts of reasons that didn't happen the critics have long said that britain's conservative government responded too slowly to the spread of the virus and failed to contain the outbreak by widely testing tracing and isolating people and although restrictions have meant that the spread of the virus has slowed britain will likely end up being the european country hardest hit by the pandemic flu let's get more we're joined by our london correspondent charlotte part

charlotte why are we seeing this like now. well it really is a sad record that no country wants to hold the spike can be explained because this new data includes people who were not tested positive for cold at 19 because they were untested but that is suspected to have died of the disease anyway and we all know it always knew that the number of unrecorded deaths in the u.k. was very large because mass testing was just not in place yet but this new data that is even back dated 10 days ago now suggests that the true death toll at this point in time lies at 48000 deaths and of course behind those statistics and numbers their families who have lost loved ones and nearly everybody here in the united kingdom now knows somebody who has died of that disease and that doesn't

just include those that are vulnerable and elderly but also many healthy previously healthy people and young people have died from coal but 19 and including over 100 doctors and nurses who are working on the front lines against the virus who have now sadly died from the elena's so then tell us charlotte what has the u.k. done wrong. well the government's response really was very slow in comparison to other european countries it was harder in the beginning the virus was spreading at a very rapid speed and there was just no testing in place at that time the prime minister still bragging about shaking 19 patients pens and some advisors comparing this pandemic to a regular flu so the lock down came a little late and then on top of that during at the high it's off the pandemic here

in the u.k. at the height of the spread of course prime minister boris johnson fell ill himself and was in intensive care for several days but incapacitated for so many different things gone wrong i mean you think you've highlighted it there you think that with boris johnson basically having been at death's door in the hospital with one team that the government would have been absolutely stringent in their measure charlotte . well now that he's back things have changed a bit he is taking and we can tell this disease much more serious this pandemic of course he has to because of that the tremendous death toll that we're seeing here in the united kingdom so testing has been ramped up it's still not anywhere near mass testing still only severe cases at hospitals and those over $65.00 are being tested so at the moment not the strategy of testing tracing and tracking is not in

place yet but the government puts all its hope in this new app that they are releasing soon and where they're hoping that infected people their contacts can be traced and that is what they are hoping the way out of the lockdown which we are now in and we are now in week 7 of those lockdown bars johnson has been under tremendous pressure from donors from others in his party to ease the lockdown and that has not happened so one sign that shows you that he is taking it seriously charlotte pops in london that charlotte and here's a round up of some of the latest pandemic news daily death toll has come under $200.00 for the 3rd consecutive day the total toll now stands at around $27000.00 according to the health ministry and the u.s. new york state has reported more than $700.00 previously undisclosed deaths at nursing homes and adult care facilities and the german state of bavaria plans to partially reopen for tourism this month its state premier says that hotels and

restaurants could operate under strict social distancing requirements. in france there are some 1000 people camped out near the city of cali hoping to reach the u.k. for many of them the pandemic has made a desperate situation even worse some migrants say that they are confronting police abuse it obviously so louis reports. there's no let up in police procedure even in these times of coded 19 would be whatever we are asked to move on because we want to film what's been an almost daily routine since 2018. migrants are told to move their tens a few meters once the police have left. the migrants put the tents back no one here wants to film their face but the migrants told us they feel harassed. they don't see it as human beings they don't respect my they could buy food if you don't wake up when they come they take away your temptation and we have to ask aid

workers for a new one and wait for up to a week trying to preserve social distancing here is difficult senator the conditions are bad you know what we're not allowed to go into town since the beginning of the pandemic we've been stuck in these camps some of us were taken to shelters or we have to stay up to 4 people in a room or that's illegal. the migrants try to support each other as best they can but that's also more difficult these days this is where the college jungle was until 2016 readed was demolished at its peak some 8000 migrants lived in this camp conditions were bad but migrants managed to set up an infrastructure of sorts and they were able to help each other out now the authorities are trying to prevent the migrants from constructing another jungle by building fences like this one. aid workers have had to reduce their staff at the camp by half they

say the government's response isn't helping the situation. this is a real step backwards for migrants human rights has no legal aid for them anymore evacuations continue and migrants keep getting harassed by the police you'd have thought people would stand together in this crisis but these vulnerable people are being left behind because you were the only you but authorities say that medical teams regularly check up on the migrants in the comes and that the evacuations unnecessary use of all. we are offering shelter for up to 750 migrants who can get medical care. 353 people have already taken up that option hugh. the migrants are being evacuated every 2 days if they are camping illegally we need to prevent them from settling. in aid workers say there aren't enough shelters and many of the migrants would rather stay here and try to cross i never

give up i'll never give up one day i will get to england my dream is to become a doctor have real freedom but a nice house and a nice life nice life mangas wants to join 2 of his brothers who have already settled in england but the corona pandemic has now made reaching the other side of the channel more difficult than ever. for federal prosecutors in germany have issued an arrest warrant for a russian national suspected of hacking into the german parliament's computer systems in 2015 the suspect is a 29 year old man named dimitri bodden he's believed to work for russian military intelligence u.s. authorities have also been hunting bodden for allegedly stealing democratic party documents as well as e-mails from its former presidential candidate hillary clinton . the hack attack consisted of fake e-mails that infiltrated the german parliament's i.t. system the hackers stole 16 gigabytes of data including the e-mails of many members

of parliament russia was suspected from the outset now after a 5 year investigation german prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant for dimitri bugging a hacker thought to work for the russian military secret service security agencies think body in belong to unit $26165.00 of russian military intelligence unit that security experts also refer to as offensive bear it's also believed responsible for hacking u.s. democrats system head of the 2016 presidential elections the f.b.i. has been searching for the suspect for the past 2 years with an arrest warrant the attack on the german parliament even reached chancellor angela merkel's parliamentary office but government institutions were not affected of that and the apparent damage was not as great as expected but at the same time we have to acknowledge that the german parliament has been subject to cyber attack and that was a big wake up call the foreign affairs committee chair offered this assessment and

vital stock is indeed it's another strong indication that russia actively seeks to undermine germany's democratic institutions and that this is directed from the top it's you know it's evil that it's hard we need to understand that this is happening and address it head on a much easier to the russian embassy in berlin has not yet responded to the arrest warrant. and we are joined by investigative journalist florian flatter you just saw him there in that report welcome to you florian it make you so much for joining us how did investigators link dimitri body to this cyber attack. the investigators of the german federal police collected pieces of evidence linking mr body into several cyber attacks which occurred in recent years they went through all the data that they found in connection with the attack on the german parliament they monitored servers they analyzed the malware that was used by the attackers and

in addition there was also information given to german german police by foreign law enforcement agencies how about the connection to the g r u russia's military intelligence agency what is the evidence of its involvement. western secret services intelligence agencies along with private security companies have for some time now closely followed the activities of russian hackers especially of several espionage actors and one of these groups is called a p t $28.00 or also known as fancy bear and there is information linking this group to the russian military intelligence agency ji are you and this evidence is coming from several attacks that happened over the past years. the data that was stolen in a cyber attack do we know whether it was ever misused for political purposes for

example. we don't there's no information on. whether it was used the misused in any way or even used to blackmail certain politicians. some rather suspicious websites have been registered following the. attack on the german parliament with rather suspicious names such as bt leaks dot com and some. german security services believed that perhaps the hackers would release certain material that they have stormed the parliament on its websites but that never happened. dimitri body and now want it in germany and the united states is ever likely to send trial and either. no it's not it's not very likely that he will stand trial in germany all the u.s. any time soon german investigators believe he is still based in russia and there's

no information on him that he will leave russia any time soon. investigative journalist thank you so much. you're watching news don't forget you can get more on our website dot com you can also follow us on social media i'm sorry kelly in for a land make you some literally watching have a great day and please to stacy. your concept discomfort with. after 100 years the ideals of the dot com more relevant today than they were. 100 years ago reshaped. people understood designers and with shaping society.
