this instead of the news live from berlin israel is warned you're about to break international old germany's foreign minister tells the israeli government that it's to an expanse of occupied west bank including jewish settlements and the jordan valley is illegal also coming up with. open borders once again for germany all the land for the chicks will be lifted in 5 days time we look at what that means for this time to travel season. to be overcrowded prisons that tracing india's recovery from the pandemic as the number of one phone cases sold snowiest try to get the

times released before his 2 dates. to see when to welcome to the program germany's foreign minister has warned israel that its plan to begin an exciting ots off the west bank would break international heikal mas was speaking in israel way he's been holding talks with the israeli consul ashkenazi the talks come just weeks before the new israeli government plans to evacuate just nation will be any station of jewish settlements and the jordan valley in the occupied west bank now several e.u. countries along with the u.n. and arab states say the plan would be a final blow to the hopes of a 2 state peace solution. is in jerusalem for us on the story hello china has given his foreign minister as specified whether germany

would try to prevent a planned and it station off parts of the west bank. well i have also 1st meeting here for both foreign ministers to meed and i think the german foreign minister has used this opportunity to stress that germany alongside other e.u. countries is very very about the israeli plans to possibly annex parts of the occupied west bank and he also stressed that this is not compatible to international law so i think you tried to strike here a very delicate balance he said you came in as a friend on the one side stressing germany's historical commitments to israel but also its commitment to international law and what's been the reaction among israeli politicians to mazas remarks. well i think

his commons have been perceived here as a warning but as a friendly warning because it was also noted that he stopped short of detailing possible consequences or reactions that might go beyond statements if vote goes ahead with its plans at the same time he also stressed the german foreign minister he stressed that you know he is not coming here to threaten anybody but to keep a dialogue open possibly pushing for negotiations but that seems quite a bit far off because negotiations between israelis and palestinians have not been happening for a very long time now tony you talked about consequences how much influence does germany have and how much weight does it have in all of this what does his voice mean to people in israel. well i think on the one

hand he has good relations to both the palestinians and also to israel but also on a regional level and the foreign minister also travels to jordan on this short trip on the other hand germany will take over the presidency of the council the european council as well as the presidency of the u.n. security council from the 1st of july and that's the key date after which israel could start acting legislation to annex parts of the occupied west bank so they will definitely have to deal with that but having said that we heard also today the foreign israeli foreign minister gabi ashkenazi saying that this will be all done of course in coordination with the u.s. and the u.s. administration in this case so there is of course the big question how much political leverage the e.u. actually has other than that they probably will not most countries are not

recognize such a move by israel all right. thank you. now a look at some of the stories making headlines the u.s. secretary of state might. investigate complaints of a police abuse of foreign news crews in american cities several countries say police attacked a journalist during black last measure pushes offices fired rubber bullets at a deal. in minneapolis. swedish prosecutors have named the man they believe killed prime minister all of palma in 1986 but they say they are now closing the case since the suspect seek answers from died 20 years ago palmer was gunned down as he left a stockholm movie theater with his wife. and mourners have been paying their last respects to bring his president b. and the government says he died on tuesday off a heart attack goons is a was to save the west to step down in august off to 15 years in power and mocked

a prisoner especially now during the call the 1000 pandemic. says he was confined in a barrick with over $300.00 people instead of the allowed 150 percent it was difficult to even find speed to sit down we couldn't even sleep comfortably we would think to each other while sleeping on a corner if anything good person got infected with could remember it was apparent it would be very difficult to control it from spreading it is very difficult to maintain social distancing there. are many big indian prisons are crowded far beyond their capacity this is the class to watch majority and preach i detention. coupled with poor sanitation and nutrition this creates a perfect storm for the coronavirus for 100 people including prisoners and staff members death didn't bother to cover 19 in a mood by prison now multiple positive faces have been detected in the daily business like this becomes a specially concern because maintaining social distancing in india overcrowded

prisons is next to decongest indian jails prisoners are now being released on interim deal or images. depending on the severity of dicky's or how sick they are. is part of a net folk of lawyers working pro bono to secure the release of inmates on bail but things are not moving as fast as they should about 10 per cent of prisoners have been released so far on being according to official figures. where most says he's verdict that fresh arrests are still being made because normally. all these things can be done by. 3rd if there is a move you would govern the circuit court of many inmates are known like sitting ducks they have hardly any protection against the virus.

a russian intellectuals once said that a degree of civilization could be just by entering its prisons and imperialist. says this is a matter of basic human rights everyone should be entitled to that. no matter where they live he says that indian traditions need to be prevented from falling prey to a greek tragedy. now as corona virus infection rates german interior minister. has announced that germany will lift the remaining checks at its land borders on june 15th things will then be back to the way they were before the start of the entry restrictions which were introduced in mid march to this branch off the current fires in germany. more of this i'm joined by the news chief political correspondent melinda crane i mean and so it's back to open borders

between germany and the rest of the european union from the 15th of june well more or less 1st of all it's not only european union member countries but also some others including norway liechtenstein switzerland iceland and interestingly enough also the u.k. but there are some exceptions and potential exceptions for example spain those who would like to travel to spain will need to come back from spain will need to wait a little bit longer until the 21st of june because that's when spain will 1st open its own borders on its islands secondly where infection rates are are high for example in the u.k. at the moment the interior ministry of germany has warned that this country will be looking very carefully at people coming in from such countries and may require them depending on the federal state and germany into which they travel may require them

to enter into quarantine so the word would be to anybody who was thinking of traveling still check the exact requirements for the country from which you which you are planning to visit or from which you're traveling ok melinda but what about travel should countries outside the european union to do that. they are allowed to do that but the travel warning remains in place for those countries that means they travel at their own risk and essentially the german foreign ministry is warning against traveling for tourism reasons they say if people have an essential reason to travel to what's called 3rd party countries non drippin countries ok then they do so at their own risk but as the foreign minister said today i quote we cannot and will not risk germans being stranded all over the world again this summer or holly holiday makers returning to germany with the virus undetected so

basically the reason behind this rule is quite simple the foreign minister said germany does not have in place enough data in order to assess the risks that people would incur if they travel to these other countries and basically germany mounted a massive operation to try to bring germans back from tourist destinations it took weeks it cost a lot of money and germany doesn't want to have to do that again right yemen and but now what about travel is from non e.u. countries who want to travel to germany there the travel restrictions have also been extended until the end of june or possibly mid july and again essentially the same rule is in place if you have an essential reason to travel if you are an essential worker who needs to do your work here in germany this may be permissible best thing to do is check those requirements either be by talking to the german consul in the place where you live or go online because there are

a number of requirements still in place for those who want to enter this country right that state of nj chief political correspondent melinda crane but that update thank you. now the german government is investing 9000000000 years to become the number one in green hydrogen take not achieve that's according to a strategy paper that's new minister are betting that this renewable energy cells can both reduce carbon emissions and boost the economy. it's a huge commitment in germany's efforts to become a clean energy economy by seeking to lead the world in hydrogen energy generation in this environment even in cream or should we must take energy system transformation and climate protection to a new qualitative level and we can do this by using hydrogen or more precisely green hydrogen in energy production and energy he's very good for than hydrogen is already used in power plants and vehicles but most of the fuel is sourced from

natural gas a process that releases a lot of carbon dioxide green hydrogen is extracted from water although it can be a very energy intensive process hydrogen is easier to store than other renewable energy sources and now the german government is committing to building power plants that would provide 5 gigawatts of power by 2030 that's the same amount of power as 2000 industrial wind turbines i would make up 10 percent of germany's total electricity capacity. germany's efforts in green power have faltered recently opening a new coal plant to plug the energy gap perhaps hydrogen could reenergize the country's transition to a greener future. britain's prince phillip since 1980 he's been state of raising in private the prince who's been married to queen elizabeth for more than 70 guinness is marking his birthday edwin's a causal that's to the west of london and the 94 year old has been isolated the
