this is d.w. news live from berlin president truck trump warns that he will send in federal troops to end the violence that has overshadowed protests in american cities. if a city or state refuses to take the actions that the nurses surgeons defend the life and property of their residents then i will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for them. he made that remark as protests and on

dress entered a 7th night and reporters came under police fire. look for that this is per 6. the result garner are from the model car. that is due to use correspondent stefan simmons in minneapolis germany's foreign minister insists that journalists must be allowed to do their job. plus healthcare workers across latin america protest coronavirus working conditions they say a lack of personal protective equipment is putting their lives at risk. i'm sumi so much kinder it's good to have you with us u.s. president donald trump has threatened to send in the military to end the violence surrounding the demonstrations sparked by george floyd's death trungpa speaking at the white house says police used tear gas to disperse protests. nearby thousands of

people marched in new york and other cities across the country demanding justice the wave of protests started after a video emerged of a white police officer kneeling on george floyd's neck until he died as the protests enter their 2nd week the president told mayors and governors that if they do not restore the rule of law he will deploy the u.s. military 1st we are ending the riots as a lot of listeners that has spread throughout our country we will end it now today i have strongly recommended to every government to deploy the national guard in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets mayors and governors must establish an overwhelming law enforcement presence until the violence has been quelled if a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents then i will deploy the united states military and

quickly solve the problem for them. earlier we spoke to did have a reporter melissa chan about the reactions to trump's announcement in the u.s. a lot of people had to go back into the history books to see when the last time this rarely used law was invoked and i think just for viewers who don't understand i'm we have seen a lot of armed armed officers on the streets across the united states and there is a difference between the national guard though in which governors are in control of versus what president donald trump is suggesting which is taking active duty military who have been working in afghanistan and iraq and putting them out in the domestic united states and i think depending on which media organization you watch if you're an american watching a lot of fox news you will definitely support what president trump has done and her head has threatened to do in terms of looking at all the looting that happens in

the evening and feeling like there does need to be so called law and order and of course if it's a rorschach test if you're another kind of american what you see is that the president has just threatened the american people with sending american soldiers to treat them like enemy combatants. as the police crackdown on the protests journalists have also found themselves being targeted. thank. god that i. was impressed with the steelers our correspondent was there for 3 months there i was shot at with rubber bullets in minneapolis over the weekend in a 2nd incident and his crew were shot out again as they tried to drive away from police he says he has been harassed by police several times while reporting on the protests. and germany's foreign minister heikal mosse has insisted that journalists must be allowed to do their job reporting on the unrest in the us. so did with

regard to the incidents involving dog which of which we have also been made aware we would contact us oath or choose to find out more about the circumstances we remain firmly committed journalists must be able to carry out that tosk which is independent coverage of events without endangering their safety you're not paying your bush democratic states under the rule of law have to meet the highest standards when it comes to protecting freedom of the press. standouts and in tar to the. right let's get more on the story now we can speak with nick waters from the investigative group belling cat which has been collecting and analyzing the incidents of violence against journalists during these protests and he joins us from london hi nick take us through some of the examples of how journalists are being targeted well so far we've collected 106 examples of all as against journalists and in some cases it's clear that these journalists in to go between

protesters and police in the majority of cases we seeing. them being talked to by police to spike lee in journalists we've seen journalists being arrested being shot at with bullets. being talks with tear gas being hit with batons and shields despite it being very clear that they all join us now is it clear that this is definitely deliberate. yes multiple examples is very very clear example when the c.n.n. crew were arrested like the clips you played with the usual a film crew you know you've got a big camera big very clearly press you have multiple other examples where it is very clear journalist there is nobody else in the ministry in egypt since he and the police all talked to deliberately targeting press make you know some media have accused the president the white house of creating mistrust in news organizations

we're seeing video right now a c.n.n. crew arrested live on air news organizations and journalists people have said that that the president has fomented anger against them do your investigations actually show this proof that there's been an uptick and attacks and harassment of journalists. and what we can say is in the last few days they've been well over 100 attacks on journalists and i don't think you can divorce up from the president of the united states spending the last few years describing the press as the enemy as the enemy of the people and creating a culture in which the media blamed fool the ills of america and all legitimate targets i don't think you can separate the statements the statements of the most powerful man in the country in the world from the carnival as they were saying being deployed against journalists all right nick waters from bell and cat joining us from london thank you very much the u.s. ambassador to germany richard green now has resigned now held the post for just over 2 years and is considered

a close confidant of president trump repeatedly clashed with german politicians during his tenure in berlin german companies that wanted to continue trading with iran were openly threatened with consequences more recently he said u.s. pressure on germany will not stop in the future for now was acting director of national intelligence from february until late last month. let's bring in political correspondent kate brady with more on the story hi kate a richard grenell sparked a lot of controversy during his time in germany why is that a lot of that controversy came off the back of grinnell rather actively advocate in donald trump foreign policy and as you mentioned already very early on during his time in office as a u.s. ambassador to germany he was all public already publicly warning german companies to no longer trade with iran and that was following the u.s. withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal and there's also been rather loud vocal

criticism from grinnell over germany's military rather contributions to military spending and on top of that as well he had lashed out on previous occasions over germany's commitment to the controversial gas pipeline the north stream to gas pipeline with russia so plenty of issues there in a very short amount of time to ensure that he didn't make all that many friends here in the political sphere is so what prompted his departure now that we're not completely sure about so we know that he handed in his resignation on monday evening to donald trump but there is a lot of speculation that he will indeed be joining donald trump on his presidential election campaign throughout the rest of this year sorry down the we've seen the last of him just step all right our political correspondent kate brady thank you. let's check in on some other stories making news around the

world now al salvador is dealing with widespread damage after a fierce storm swept in from the pacific over the weekend leaving many people homeless 18 people were killed and 7 more are still missing the president has declared a state of emergency. the democratic republic of congo as reported new cases of the deadly ebola virus and declared a new epidemic the health ministry says 4 people have died in the northwest of the country just as it was poised to declare the latest outbreak over and it comes as the country battles the coronavirus with over $3000.00 confirmed cases. italy is celebrating republic day which marks the referendum 74 years ago when italians voted for a republic to replace the monarchy a fly past by the italian air force is the highlight of the anniversary despite some lockdown measures still in force celebrations are taking place across the country. worldwide smartphone sales took a big hit in the 1st quarter of this year according to new industry figures

shipping data shows sales dropped by 20 percent in the 1st 3 months of the year as the coronavirus pandemic choked supply chains and lockdowns hit consumer demand. well let's take a look at the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic the united nations and saudi arabia are hosting a pledging conference to raise money for war ravaged yemen the aim is to raise some 2 point $4000000000.00 to support a population hit hard by malnutrition and now the coronavirus pakistan's prime minister imran khan defended his decision to lift most lockdown measures citing huge economic losses he said if people take precautions it is possible to live with the virus the u.k.'s plan to introduce a 14 day quarantine for people arriving from abroad is they criticised with concerns that it may have a limited impact on public health and in new zealand prime minister just into arguments that her government will consider relaxing all restrictions sooner than

planned as the country's fight against the virus is progressing ahead of schedule. central and south america have become the intense zones for covert $1000.00 transmission according to the world health organization the biggest rise in caseload is now in brazil colombia chile peru mexico haiti argentinian argentina brother and bolivia but health care workers across the region say they do not have access to adequate personal protective equipment many of them report that to save lives they have to risk their own our latin america correspondent a call for less has this report from colombia. this is what a medical professional dealing with covert 19 should look like but most health care workers across latin america can only dream about having access to this sort of equipment. publicly hailed as the heroes of the pandemic front line health care workers in many countries like here in peru are protesting against

a lack of personal protective equipment in bolivia and mexico as well health care professionals have denounced what they see as systemic violations to their right to safe and healthy working conditions. we are asked to reuse their uniforms to sell them from cloth they want us to wash or reuse our n $95.00 masks after several of our colleagues have become infected and even died we want the authorities to listen we want to quit ment so we can work. out a profit. in colombia the rising worldwide demand and a decentralized privately administrative health care sector have caused grief shortages and an attempt to cash in on the crisis medical supply stores have started popping up in the capital bogota from full body suits to surgical gloves a seemingly endless stock of much needed equipment but there's

a catch. even though protective gear can be purchased quite easily here and columbia adequate my. masks are expensive and often * fake like this one but for many medical professionals entering this dangerous bargain is the only shot they have at finding at least some kind of protection. maryanna treats patients in bogata to protect her little son from the virus she moved out of the family home 2 months ago and to protect herself from exposure at work she tried to take matters into her own hands. we received a private donation of n $95.00 masks and some fish shields then we took it upon ourselves to buy protective overalls. but we weren't allowed to use this equipment at the hospital. administration told us that we were only authorized to use what they provided for us. at that time that was merely

a conventional mask. i was then reprimanded by my superiors it wasn't a big deal but it made me very sad to see that on top of them not guaranteeing our safety they cause problems when we try to take care of ourselves. lack of protection in columbia is especially problematic because of an idiosyncrasy in the country's health care system and who are you in an aggravating factor we're seeing a lot more of here in colombia than in other countries is that health care workers are usually employed in more than one hospital between 40 and 60 percent of them work in 3 facilities they travel back and forth between them and that makes the handling of a pandemic with the kind of transmission rate we're currently seeing very difficult . to ensure protection of exposed health care workers a judge in colombia recently ruled in favor of a group of doctors who sued the health ministry now all hospitals are obliged to

provide adequate equipment for their staff. but for the over 1000 medical professionals in the country who have already contracted the virus that decision comes too late. for that report from nicole fluke she is now back in germany and joins us for more on the story hi nicole we just saw there that the hospital staff in colombia need to actually procure their own protective equipment why is that medical grade equipment being provided for them by their places of work i say we well in many countries across latin america that can be attributed to a lack of emergency funding or administrative gridlock the case in colombia is a little different because even public hospitals are being administrators by private companies and these private entities just can't compete in the bidding war that's going on across the globe right now 94 percent of these companies are saying that they're having problems purchasing people. especially

those much talked about and 95 lasts the colombian government has promised to step in they have allocated some 5600000 euros for protective equipment for hospital staff in the country but that's not nearly enough according to the columbia medical association $103000000.00 euros would be needed to provide adequate protection for all hospital workers and that includes not only doctors and nurses but also janitors and cleaning personnel all those people who are constantly exposed to a highly contaminated environment and some health care workers are speaking up about these shortages and facing consequences for a day even someone you spoke to would tell us more about that. yeah my now where i was the nurse that we spoke to for this report publicly spoke out about the lack of protective equipment at her hospital was forced to leave her job

shortly after she spoke to us she told me that it wasn't directly related to the interview she gave me but that it definitely had something to do with her being perceived as a troublemaker for calling out these shortcomings and that's something that was seen very often across the western hemisphere a case in point out would be nicaragua for example where the government has played an active role in downplaying the significance of covert 19 where health care professionals are reporting that they're being harassed and even fired for bringing their own equipment to work and that somehow recognizing that there is actually a threat or even speaking about the virus not even critically about the handling of the government or the institutions they work for so that's just really goes to show how important it is to ensure freedom of speech for health care professionals during these times not only to call out shortcomings of their own institutions but also to sort of educate the public about the significance of this virus when their

governments fail to do so and it comes as the w.h.o. now says it considers central and south america hotspots for transmission of the corona virus so why are we seeing a spike in cases in that part of the world. exactly the americas which of course include the us are now home to 5 of the 10 countries that have seen most new infections in the past days and just the caseload is rising rapidly and a lot of countries in latin america that can be attributed to too especially one thing there is a high level of any formality and a lot of countries in the caribbean and central america and south america that have been or still are under strict lock down are now kind of forced to ease restrictions to keep the economy from collapsing and get people back to work so

they can begin to earn a living so with more people out on the street of course the infection rate tends to rise but we're also seeing a spike because a lot of countries are now testing more than before. many countries across latin america have spent the past weeks and months ramping up their testing capacities and if there's more tests being done of course there will be more positive cases and the focus now lies on vulnerable regions like the amazon in countries like haiti with the already very precarious health care infrastructures that tend or threatened to collapse under a major outbreak city are dead is nicole reporting for us thank you. turkey has started easing coronavirus restrictions with 4 and a half 1000 deaths in a population of 83000000 the government has been boasting about its success in handling the pandemic now restaurants are beginning to welcome customers and beaches have been opening up to visitors so has istanbul's famous grand bazaar.

reports. is sure to prayer and then the gates open to istanbul's iconic grand bazaar for the 1st time after a 10 week long coronavirus forced shutdown. not everything here is as it was before the crisis there are now temperature checks at the entrances masks are quiet and customer numbers are limited inside shops but the 1st visitors are still happy that they finally have the market back you know what is good is open it and we've been waiting for this. thing against al do some shopping and then return home. it's the 1st time in a long time that i'm outside again. trade is a tidying the store was they too are happy at the bazaar has reopened but they are not expecting a lot of business anytime soon carpets tells us that the most important customers

are not here yet although those orica fish that we are facing a tough time the tourism season hasn't started yet because of the crisis international flights to taki will resume by middle june they say but we don't know how many tourists will actually come i'm worried about this those introduced over. outside the bazaar to more and more corona measures are being relaxed many mosques have been open for mass gatherings again since friday but because of social distancing rules many worshippers have to pray outside. he stumbled largest shopping street is declined it was deserted storing the lockdown now people are taking their city back. restaurants and cafes are reopening left and right while the authorities try to make sure that hygiene and distancing guidelines

a followed but some still have the feeling that everything is going a bit too fast. the notebook or could i even feel scared to be outside today the cafes are kind of crowded to me the restaurants to me i don't know how people can be brave enough to sit together at such close distances again. on the american people should be more cautious we need to wear on masks i think it will be over soon or if everybody takes care of themselves back at the grand bazaar many shop owners are eager to get their businesses on track although they know it will probably take some time until the crowds breathing return the. sports now up wonderfully the fans were treated to a 6 gold bonanza in monday's clash between cologne and rb like sick visitors lights they were hoping to get their title bit back on the right track after

a draw against her on match day 28 and they did just that. some games deserve an audience unfortunately stuffed toys were the only spectators for this one as the billy goats played host to leipsic. the goal 1st got off to a quick start as john caught about a right full time on the rebound off the 7 minutes. to the hosts. leipsic drew level after 20 minutes patrick shakes head and getting the better team hold on the check it's not goal of the campaign. christopher can conclude gave the visitors the lead with this q. short time. and the possible match from leipzig keeper piece of glass he sent team over them a clear goal in the 2nd period. which of any international duty slow.

paced 25th goal of the season. they've come much simpler. and schooled there i want to go and see more test with the twinkle toes and the 1st right finish to make it 3 to 15 minutes. to last she left with no chance from a stunning effort. but like saying put the game to bed 2 minutes later. with the rebound from a cold. chill down. to the final score like to get it back on track with a much needed 3 points. the formula one season will start in austria on july 5th the 1st of a run of a traces in europe the championship will begin across 3 consecutive weekends in

austria and hungry there will then be a break before 2 consecutive races help and bridge by events in spain belgium and italy all of those events will be held behind closed doors to minimize the risk of the spread of cold with 19. people across japan got a treat last night with simultaneous fireworks displays to lift the mood during the coronavirus lockdown this was a display in tokyo one of many throughout the country the locations were kept secret to stop people from gathering at the launch sites but the displays lasted long enough for people to watch from their windows or their balconies organizers and so they wanted to bring light to the skies during peace dark time. but minder of our top story now president trump has warned that he will send in u.s. troops to quell violence protests following the death of a black man in a blaze custody he said of mayors and state governors that failed to take action
