moved to emergency shelters reports suggest over 2000000 have been evacuated in bangladesh as well from the reports all before the disaster management just points deems have been working on evacuation and board the indian states so at the moment the priority is to get as many people as the authorities can to safety ok a lot of people on the move right now mira can you give us an idea of how big this storm is how does it compare to past storms. well it is in fact being called as one of the most volatile storms to build the countries of india and bangladesh in a long long time the last one of such intensity being the one that struck the state of what you saw in 1909 over 2 decades ago this cycle was in fact being characterized as a super cyclonic storm about monday but in the past 24 hours the wind seemed to have reconned a little bit and now it is being characterized as an extremely severe cyclonic storm but nevertheless it has the capacity to cause

a lot of damage to the area that it strikes with high velocity winds and really strong rain falls so at the moment again what the priority is to get as many people as they can to evacuate them to emergency shelters because it does look like a really powerful storm and it is expected that it can go up to a speed off a 180 kilometer per hour are when it crosses some area of the queen west bengal in bangladesh many or how or are these evacuation plans being affected by the pandemic measures to contain the coronavirus. when it is actually quite a big challenge to do a challenge because some of the districts in fact in west bengal which are being evacuated were guided to raves as a villain that as many clearly know why this case is well detected so in these missions of evacuations of course it is next to impossible to maintain a proposal should distance an enormous because most of them have to be put in one

single image and seashell to even have been a type of cod on the capacity and accommodate less than the capacity that the shelter is meat both do it is difficult to maintain distance and apart from bad to many live in the rose water only we who from big city like delhi do all these districts so best thing want to know the sun at the moment since the storm is about the flag they will again be left stranded so it is quite a big challenge minera thanks very much for bringing us up to date on this from delhi let's get you briefed down some of the other stories making news at this hour indian troops have killed a rebel commander during clashes in the disputed region of kashmir the territory is divided between india and pakistan separatist groups have fought for kashmir to become independent were part of pakistan since the late 1940 s. . taiwan's president syene when has been sworn in for a 2nd term in office in her inaugural speech she rejected china's claim of

transportation. you know cities are keeping streets closed to cars that they have allowed pedestrians and bicyclists to use we're all getting used to telecommuting and may want to continue that at least a few days a week and nobody misses spending time in rush hour and finally i guess that the biggest change we've seen is the beautiful blue skies that have come from from putting our cars on the street and garages and and if we can have that every day by coupling electric vehicles with clean energy what's not to like we don't even have to shelter in home. rob jackson there well here in germany there's been a major ruling in how intelligence agencies operate the nation's highest court says germany can no longer freely spy on the world's internet traffic it says the mass surveillance of online communications outside the country violates the constitution and its protections of privacy and. germany's foreign intelligence agency has been

spying on known germans abroad including journalists even without any clear suspicion of wrongdoing activists have long said this can't tales freedom of the press now germany's highest court has ruled it's not legal the german constitution office protection against wide sweeping surveillance to german citizens now this is being extended to people outside the country. a formation that's hard to go with has been placed with this side of the ruling as a milestone for the protection of journalists in the digital age just before this is the 1st time that the constitutional court has recognized the need to safeguard the rights of journalists who are working abroad and that cunt the case was brought by the reporters without borders group 6 foreign journalists and human rights lawyer in its ruling the constitutional court did not outright ban blanket surveillance of data but judges said confidential communications between members of

certain professions including journalists and lawyers must be offered special protection surveillance must be restricted to specific targets and controlled independently the court doesn't see any risk to germany security through its ruling . suits keep us up startled grants substantial burden to make challenges to global security policy through the monitoring of strategic international communications was so big that. the german government will now consider the future operation methods of the foreign intelligence agency and reporters without borders. says it will now consider similar action in other countries. and this is good of you news still to come on our program today they made tomato soup is famous as well jackie kennedy we find out how pop artist turned the ordinary into cultural icons at a new berlin exit. but 1st

voters in burundi are going to the polls in a crucial presidential election that could see the 1st democratic transfer of power in decades there now this comes after 5 years of political violence following the last election over accusations of the result was unconstitutional the coronavirus could also pose a threat to voter turnout. since 2005 but surprised by not seeking a 4th term. success or ever rescind is an army general considered too close to the government's alleged crimes nor as someone who tried to stop them in other words a compromise candidate. i would like to tell you that since founding no president has supported his successor because i too have never benefited from the support of my predecessors. that sentiment reflects.

us history in the transfer of political power. to the top in 2005 as the result of a peace deal that ended over a decade of. critics say his decision to run for another 5 year term in 2015 violated that deal the resulting violence cost at least $1200.00 lives that's on top of hundreds of thousands of deaths from ethnic strife in the decade since. 962 landlocked as one of africa's smallest and poorest countries the world bank estimates that 75 percent of its 11000000 people live in poverty. there's no money or nothing since morning we've just been sitting here we can't find any customers. in the government. says a new cycle of violence. and she was the great torture and murder rights groups say the president himself has encouraged crimes against humanity and

campaigning has gone ahead without regard for the coronavirus pandemic as has public life in general critics accuse the government of covering up the true scale of the public health crisis something the winner of today's might not have the luxury to ignore. east africa correspondent following the story for us joins us now from nairobi. the route a run up to this election has been marred by violence how confident are people that the voting will in the end be fair. well i spoke to some colleagues on the ground in burundi this morning and they said that up to now things are going normal. people are queuing up they've been queuing up since 6 am in the morning the only thing that has happened is that social media the media channels seem to be blocked so people are logging in by a v.p.n. but as you said the election the run up to the elections has been marred by

violence and there have been reports of arrests of opposition members arrests of journalists and there have been reports of intimidation by the youth wing of the ruling party as well as the police and the military and and another thing is that there are no international election observers in the country at the moment the east african commission had tried community had tried to send election observers and up until last week they thought they were going to do that but they were told by the indian government at the last minute that they would be that they would have to quarantined for 2 weeks and so they could essentially not do their job so i think that many analysts and observers from the outside see this election as not being free and fair ok what about the coronavirus how's that affecting the turnout there's a lot of other problems as you mentioned but what about the pandemic how is that affecting how voters are going to react. well apart from the

fact that the election observers have not been able to come there is there seems to be it seems to have very little effect on the election so far i mean the colleagues journalists on the ground told me that the turnout has been good so far this morning and i've seen pictures of queues of people there have. been very there's very little social distancing and there are a few polling stations which seem to have hand washing facilities but other than that very little i think has been done to. to stop the spread of the virus if it's there and. it seems that people are not stopping that is not stopping people from going to the polls ok are we going to see a change in leadership will there be a shift in power in the country. well that's the big question i mean. you know step is now stepping down after 15 years in office and

during the 2015 elections he basically the he basically makes to make sure that he could run for a 3rd term which is why the country wrap it in violence at that time. but he has also managed to make himself to make a pretty good deal for himself so he's going to have to retirement package and he also will get the title of supreme guide for patriotism so the next government is supposed to will have to consult with him on terms of national security and other important issues solis thanks so much for that today from nairobi. let's get you up to date now on the latest headlines from around the world a major on the political blow where french president to manual mccomb defections by lawmakers critical of his economic policies of course as ruling party its absolute majority in the lower house of parliament is also struggling to revive the economy

after 2 months of walking. in germany's highest court has ruled that mass overseas surveillance by the national intelligence agency violates the constitution the basic law or sees that germany will uphold privacy and media freedom a legal challenge was brought by 6 foreign journalists. german prosecutors have dropped charges of market manipulation against 2 top v.w. executives the car makers making a payment of $9000000.00 euros to close the case executives have been charged with withholding information about diesel emissions cheating. well the crown a virus pandemic has been weighing heavily on the earnings of germany's biggest lender deutsche bank ahead of today's general meeting c.e.o. christian saving made clear there's still work to do on the banks restructuring following losses of $5700000000.00 euros last year during

a bank was hoping to break even this year but covert 19 is making that unlikely because provisions for bad loans will be costly the bank reported profits of 200 $6000000.00 euros in the 1st quarter let's get more on this story now professor hans fader backoff is a banking expert and head of the credit economics foundation that's at the university of hoffenheim vestberg all thanks so much for coming in today and how much is this downturn we're seeing compounding the problems that adored her back. well it's a bittersweet situation because on the one hand the doj about is not yet very strong it is really working hard to restructure and have a lot of problems from the past but all the other hand i mean this is the kind of situation where it's a new strategy exactly mate for that want to be a reliable partner for corporate clients

a large corporate client and we can say i've got a client especially in crisis and so they now can show what they're able and what they're willing to do and it's very good because their competitors have to deal with their own market pressure the foreign banks and banks are active so it's a very mixed. thought about because it's very mixed feelings into this crisis ok there have been some bright spots this some banking divisions have been doing well they pose a profit last quarter which divisions are doing well right now. everything related to trading hertha special selfless at the moment because due to the large will tell it of price of everybody's trading at the moment you have to readjust what follows you must really just just if you've always done this trading so it'd be some extra incur income for loans and stock exchanges as well and profiting from that although not as much as for example american banks who are still the investment banking oriented but this is something which happens only for some time so afterwards

services price on watch steady this will go down again what is maybe a better signal is that the losses from from the credit portfolio are not there outstanding you big and that's a real threat at the moment holding companies will say oh and what does this mean for the belt you've got the banks professor berghoff thanks so much from the university of hohenheim there not often i'm thanks very much for coming in today. to be with you. well here in germany museums have been reopening to visitors and if you happen to be interested in the 1960 s. well you're in for a real treat one of the largest collections of that decades of pop art is now on show at berlin's museum of prince drugs. it wasn't just flower power in the sixty's pop art was all the rage. in flint there's a bounty of it hardly anyone is familiar with it now it's on display for the 1st time. so this is the moment to show everything we've accumulated it's one of the

biggest collections of its kind in germany if not all of europe has. the berlin state museum has an impressive collection of pop art including works by the artist who made it world famous andy warhol. culture for the masses as in stars but you're doing a new era in the art world suddenly the monday features of everyday life landed on both the big screen and canvas as pop art. the artists went out into the world and discovered shopping malls and stores and supermarkets before they can free themselves from the body of artistic concepts and found reality. let's let's note is that pop art had its own 1960 s. birth in what was west germany. painters like printed his arguments series a revolutionary act of art. german pop art was more critical than its american

counterpart less sing big and more. american it was very direct perhaps the most innocent aggressive and striking movement in contrast to european pop art work. in the great atmosphere of post-war europe when along came this offensive way with almost a missionary spirit of commercialism with all the new products and bright images of the united states. in the u.s. and europe pop art was a male demean women were muses or sex objects pure male projection just like in advertising as the old adage goes sex sells and that certainly applied to pop art. but this exhibition turns that on a 10. revelation.
