alaca to be reduced by china's latest law which could be implemented within a few months. let's take a closer look at this with senior china analyst bernhard boche from the bertelsmann institute in berlin welcome to the w. the national people's congress passed this law even though it's specifics are not clear why is beijing being so vague. i think aging is being made in our legal not in its own legal sense we'll signal that this law is sending is that the rule of law in our western sense is actually not. relevant imho anymore when it comes to protests or demonstrations or anything that a communist party will see as a challenge to its authority and then the new law and the signal is really crystal

clear if you protest against a communist party government of our own government and you are up for the treatment that protesters get in the mail and that is very dire out. today britain canada australia united states issued a statement condemning this move do you think they're likely to follow up their words with action. the army country that really has the potential for real action short term in terms of sanctions also one is the us and of course the u.s. and china are already engaged in a huge rivalry and conflict call it straight or technology war whatever all smaller countries including here in germany we don't really have the means to sanction china in any meaningful way i think the really important

effect this is having here though is that all those circles that are supporting more engagement with china and supporting the argument that you can trust the chinese government that you can trust chinese companies that you can trust the assurance of these circles these lobby groups are going to have a very very hard time because hong kong or really shows that it is not a longer one country 2 systems it's a chinese system whenever you deal with china right so moving slightly nicer harkonnen i think there is fear that this decision over the territory naturally be a warmup for beijing making a move on taiwan what do you think i think that's a very serious threat at the moment they have been consistent signals over the last couple of months that. aging is really looking. issue.

of peaceful reunification with was changed. again there. is nothing. but very. well i thank you for that very interesting. from the bertelsmann institute. demonstrations and looting shaken the us city of minneapolis for a 2nd day after the death of a black man in police custody the mass called for criminal charges to be filed

by. all of law enforcement out there america or that it's the police's response in this incident that sparked the protests in this video taken by a bystander 46 year old george floyd is heard gasping for breath and peed in with a policeman who has his knee on his neck. the officer derek children kept his knee on floyd's nick for several minutes even after he stopped speaking and moving floyd was pronounced dead at a hospital 90 minutes off to this encounter the lawyer representing his family says he was a victim of racism freud had been arrested on suspicion that he'd used a counterfeit 20 done a note at a nearby store. that was the allegation that he were. trying to. commit some kind of forgery which is worse a. crime. yet the police. use.

of force when they came upon a hero just doesn't make sense and i'm all for it he's have said and the autopsy will be performed to determine if the neck compression to his stiff the mayor of minneapolis has called for criminal charges against the officer who pinned down and the other police offices who are with him at the scene have all been fired but that's not quelled the anger instead george floyd's death has sparked a fresh fear ory in the u.s. of a police treatment of black americans. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world flooding in bangladesh in the aftermath of psycho those devastated tens of thousands of homes as the mats indicate that at least 100000 people stranded have homes with no it's a go and without food or clean water. pressure is mounting on u.k.

10 bags a day. you can find the plant all over the place it has been growing here for a long time and to the local farmers have been using it as a traditional medicine but now the demand is going up which is good for business here. back in the village they sell the plan for 4 years a back prices have increased along with demand for the herb there's a better place you know we like many believe form which can protect them from the koran of viruses although there's no scientific proof. i give him the fin some of these because this is a good look around and. say are you going to question i've been going on chinese knife lands for. parents oh come flowing into you feel weightless see. come clean you you know the right of you know one of the villagers also believe in warm words medicinal properties they've been using it for generations even though

the village has no electricity no one here has been to the doctor for years one which is prized as one of the most powerful medicinal herb people here say it clears up a stomach ache and half an hour at a fever in 3 days all of lettuce in your body you can take it over to get a. bottle it's a good medicine if you put your faith. you know if you really are aware of it. there's also a growing demand and. city such as port elizabeth an hour's drive from the village the corona virus is spreading rapidly and urban areas despite the lockdown. has been growing warm wood for the last year her grandmother has been taking it for flu now business is brisk glance he has sold 20 bunches today for one euro each but she doesn't believe it can protect people against corona and. they can take them to.

book i don't know yet if i'm excited about. so what are your studies telling to be outright find out about it 3 are we are looking into you was off planet extract we got some special variety from united states with a very high content of off the truck substance and if test that since late february in anti-viral assets we have seen some quite promising results and they are now getting ready to actually use extracts but it also helps those cells in the test laboratory animals and if not all begin to start talking through the motions to prepare for humans and will trials and what pointed you in that direction what why would have all the plans and hubs out there. we have a long 'd history of looking at artemisinin a sort of interests not of a case of obviously but it is the most important anti-malarial drug use today and

look at new production ways to have higher amounts available for africa and the other reasons to think about arguments that are the best only cation that can be used against the worm infections but you have some people believe you can be used to prevent or you can treat cancer and that is from a scientist like me interesting to explore so is there any danger do you think in people praising the one would as a therapy or even as a cure of a company 19 as we saw in they have been pulled. i think before using it widely it definitely has to be better understood and they need to be human clinical trials which show its efficacy the concern is currently artemisinin is for most powerful as a male truck if it's used widely without control of it could actually lead to tour of the rights of. resistance against the struck from by malaria parasite they better be moral helpful that's about sleight of p.h.o.

and many people are concerned i'm about 5 believe it would be really important to get good from human clinical data rather than i have a firm spore denies your activity and that hopefully will then mean i would actually be approved drug at some point ok so what are we likely to see the results of your research. well the hope will be throughout the fall the cell studies in the next week we will try outs are up for protocol and we hope to get into the animal it's been about 2 weeks well meet a month from now we would have a good data set but i think we'd better have a 1st clean indication if it's really a chance to treat humans with it or very interesting i thank you for joining us. from the max planck institute. here's a look at some other developments in the pandemic the number of world wide coronavirus cases as top 5700000 according to johns hopkins university in the

united states meanwhile the u.s. death toll has a past 210-0000 authorities in germany say 72 workers it's a u.p.s. distribution center in hanover of tested positive for the virus cases have also been detected in a nearby school and daycare center and south korea is reinstating social distancing restrictions following a spike in infections the increase has been traced to where houses supply online shop has. here in germany a diplomatic row with russia over 2015 the hacking attack on the german parliament has escalated the foreign minister has called in the russian ambassador to discuss possible sanctions in a statement in parliament 2 weeks ago chancellor and america confirmed that she too had been hacked by russians by the of the air the song mission that's that of the in the let me be honest it pains me i work hard every day to improve our relationship with russia the heart but then there's hard evidence that russian

agents operate in this way and that creates a tension which i find hard to get out of my system and i don't sit in that office seeing that i strive for good relations with russia that's uncomfortable of men enough. money let's get more from political correspondent simon young welcome simon remind us of the background to these allegations. here it was in april and may of 2015 that computer systems in the german parliament were hacked the computers of many members of the parliament were infected with spy software including in the office of angle americal herself and there were suggestions at the time that this hack came from russia and now german prosecutors say that they got the evidence they have identified the ringleader behind this and indeed they've just issued a warrant for his arrest and so this was 5 years ago people going to look at this

and think well why is this taking so long. yeah well this ag investigation has of course been ongoing and it's one thing to identify that a computer hack has taken place but i think it's probably much more difficult to identify particular members of a foreign intelligence agency and that is what prosecutors are now saying they've named the ringleader they meet 3 by dean is name they say and they believe that he was a member at the time of the hack of the g.o.u. rushes intelligence agency and obviously it's quite difficult to put together the evidence they say they now have reliable evidence that that is the case and they're going after him so what is the russian ambassador been told. yet the ambassador said they are not shy of has been called in to have all this explained to say that

they've identified this man and also i think to be told how concerned germany is about these attacks there was another attack in 2018 which some believe is also connected with russia germany is also worried about the killing of a georgian man in berlin last august which they also think russia was somehow behind so i think he's had all that explained to him germany is also going to use the european psych cyber sanctions regime to pursue this case and so where does that leave relations between germany and russia. well obviously they could be very strained and russia has strenuously denied that it's got anything to do with any of this but as we said they angle americal herself has repeatedly mentioned her concerns over russia's behavior in a speech law just last night she said that russia has repeatedly offended against

european values but she also said that constructive dialogue is the way forward relations are strained as well of course not least over the right actions of russia or in ukraine but germany thinks dialogue is important but also calling out by name when it thinks russia has transgressed as in this case thank you for that political correspondent simon young. 8 years ago german authorities made an astonishing discovery a treasure trove of 1500 words of art by world famous painters suspected of having been looted from the jewish owners during nazi era germany the work of tracing the rightful owners and their descendants has now concluded that the results have been disappointing. a chapter closes on one of the biggest stories of nazi littered art in post-war germany but after years of research into the gurlitz scandal many questions remain unanswered. 8 years ago in munich tax authorities

seized artworks from cornelius gurlitz apartment and more from his home in south florida a total of $1500.00 paintings by world class artists including france marc marc chagall. dix and unlimited. it was a sensational discovery that electrified more than the art world the case made headlines across the globe. that kanye is correlate father hit a band with a major artery there during nazi germany's occupation of france during world war 2 the artworks seized from his property were quickly suspected of being stolen from jewish owners or bought for drastically deflated prices. where did these paintings come from and to whom did they belong. the center for a lost cause for all assets and money to borg has spent 8 years trying to solve myriad mysteries. the german government says determining provenance is extremely

urgent does who owns these are and laws and i face a possibly endless task ladies and gentleman we owe it to those deprived of their property and their rights to complete it to the. is it an endless task and only 14 of the works found in the stolen bounty have been handed to descendants of the original owners of the most spectacular case was 2 writers on the beach by max lieberman which was returned to the family of david torrent the painting was later sold at auction for over 2000000 euro tauren a new york lawyer died last month of covert 19. so why have so few artworks founder . to the rightful owners the concluding report of the month to book center for lost cultural assets referred to an immense gray zone. the provenance of 1000 words of the so-called great collection remains and this to me. after more than 8 years of

research the suspicion that most of the paintings were stolen. on the football in germany is a bonus they. hosted had to balance on wednesday night that heated battle that had big implications for both clubs had to took another step toward survival alive sake instead closer to qualifying for the champions league. heads were knocking early in this one. life 6 tyler adams and had his mob in platen hot collided going for the ball hit as platen heart looked to get the worst of it. but the defender stayed in the game long enough to curl a fantastic quarter that found marco group which. bought. drew it's time to run perfectly to give hansen early lead less than 20 minutes later life seek return the favor christen kuku the bulls assist leader found lukas
