this is why from but lead the man who dismissed corona virus as just a little flu now has its president tells the world he's tested positive for taking a drug with no proven effect. also on the program the freshwater from hong kong's leader of a controversial new security chief executive carry law anyone caught violating the new goals will face serious consequences pro-democracy activists fear there will be suppression of dissent. so this video appears to show masked men attacking refugees trying to come ashore in greece but who is behind the assault was the european union so quiet on the issue. and it's germany about to apologize for its murderous
6:01 pm
behavior in africa more than a 100 years ago the president of namibia thinks so but after years of talks palin says the issue is complicated. i'm filled gal welcome to the program brazilian president jacques boll sonars as he has tested positive for corona virus he made the announcement on brazilian television in the last hour he had been shown the symptoms of cough it 19 including a fever but said he felt well enough to walk around as a pulse not as drawn criticism from public health officials for appearing in public without to protect a face mask and for saying it was not worth the effort to prevent the majority of brazil's population from contract and comp at 90. that's joined journalist mathias abbots and their beard to janeiro folk more welcome
6:02 pm
material so the president says he's fine do we have any further details about his condition. he said that since yesterday he's suffering some pain general pain in his muscles he has fever and he also has a dry cough so he's not in a really good mood. getting back staying at home now in these days and waiting for the results which now resulted positive and so he cancelled the meetings for today and possibly also for the next days because he might now stay in care and. now we're seeing pictures of him wearing a face mask he's changed his attitude to vets is he likely to change his stance on the pandemic itself. there's really not sure if you will stand
6:03 pm
if you will change his opinion on the crisis it could happen that he will act from now on as it happened in the u.k. for boris johnson who also change his mind a bit and changes politics and his policy after. having suffered there the covert 19 virus so it can't happen like this but it caused can also happen at board so now we'll stay at the same point will one economy to come back so it's not sure so far if you will be there will be a new mindset for me ok so brazil at the moment has i think a temporary health minister while this crisis is going on and now a president who is possibly going to take the next few days off to take care of himself. who's going to be running the country. normally but an hour should at least say 14 days at home at his presidential palace in brasilia and
6:04 pm
then the vice president more hours will take over and this also already happened last year when votes an hour had to go for a surgery to a hospital in sao paolo our then we'll take the lead to maybe possibly travel a bit in brazil and so it is a common situation for brazilians it's typical for them it's not a big issue but we will see how what's now really react in the next days he was the one who who put pressure in order to get back to normal life restaurants are open shopping centers are open again and so yeah the numbers are still high so it's really not sure how brazil will go into the next days but. in rio de janeiro thank you. to hong kong where the chief executive kerry lam has defended the controversial new security law imposed on the chinese territory by beijing last
6:05 pm
week the slum said the changes would make hong kong safer by preventing violent protests and she warned people not to break the law so the hunger as our government crystal implement this law and i for one those radicals are not to attempt to wild this law or crossing the red line because the consequences of breaching this law. critics have warned that this new law will end the freedom of speech in the territory and many pro-democracy activists fear an increase suppression of dissent w.'s a few become reports. but i do go for years now every one has joined fellow members of his party on the 1st of july to mark hong kong's handover to chinese fruit but everything changed last week it isn't uncommon for such a race more peaceful protests to have a 100 plus police to search
6:06 pm
a dozen office i guess this will be the new law you may never see the picture of me then hong kong is on the street ok because we are content not because. we are now happy with the government is because now yes you are free to come out right but it was. the swastika 1st protest seems to new security law was put in place which can see offenders go to prison for life for suppression. several parties have now decided to disband some leading activists have fled but avery and his party are not about to follow suit. because if for a political party to bow down now. to safety or to wrestle hong kong psychologically. the most often compared to go to prison for a long time we are not going to change what we have been doing for years but
6:07 pm
depends on the level of suppression that we are going to face in the future there will be a short term mortification and transformation of activism in hong kong there's no doubt a strong sense of fear also lose hope a supporter of self-censorship has been the most common reaction just as many pro-democracy restaurants have quickly taken down declarations about political messages leaving them to animals as a way of silent protest. beijing insisting law of fact only a minority of lawbreakers critics say political activism is under threat and that's just the 1st step. now works for an n.c.o. based in hong kong for decades. it has been advocating for labor rights across asia hochul has been a popular hub for thousands of local and international n.g.o.s but a new law means many are now we considering their options there's a lot of them break with saying we don't know do you mean by somehow maybe call the
6:08 pm
where foreign forces because we have stuff from overseas under this law we acquired and sure like how it will impact even the safety of individuals staff or wallace to practice for us to if we continue to receive foreign funding we have to somehow people here the worst scenario and we may also consider to move to. other countries. beijing has played down the laws impact saying you merely plans to strengthen the management of n.g.o.s and our organizations in hong kong. even though it's doing clear how the security law will be implemented activists and africans here will have to be where they face a rocky road. to be told reporters are global tech giants like facebook twitter zoom and tick tock all said to be scaling back their presence in hong kong because of this new security
6:09 pm
a lot of people in the financial hub of worried that their online freedoms are under serious threat. while web users in mainland china have to negotiate a powerful censorship system hong kong's internet is free and open until now anyway google facebook what's up telegram and twitter have all stopped taking requests for user data from hong kong online freedom of expression in the city is seen as under threat i think that they worry ok all they get here he's already spread all. about the cyber expression freedom. the new law means police can force internet companies to remove content breaching online rules can lead to jail or a fine. case of autism for doing so i believe the government will take further action towards these social media platforms. i think it's possible we won't be able
6:10 pm
to use these apps in the future. if. you try. to move piles pressure on chinese owned firms trying to expand internationally like tick tock tick tock rejects allegations beijing could use its services to spy on users. tick-tock has taken its up out of hong kong was zoom which has been criticized for censoring content critical of china has polls tongue calling data processing requests after the new law the hong kong security law has brought the world's attention to internet security and china. and get more on this from not a double reporter all that i welcome all so why is that during this efficient is that the doing it in light of recent events that's a bit of a vague statement right there it opens there's a lot of questions there are they doing it to a piece beijing are they doing it because beijing are telling us to do it or is this some kind of heroic news by take talk to show that they care about freedom of
6:11 pm
expression in and hong kong now by its dons which is the parent. company they say they don't take any orders from beijing they don't give any share any content with beijing but we know there are cases where content has been censored or removed for example pro-democracy movements in the hall in hong kong claims and from them and also content to do with the muslim minority and mistreatment of them and china now takes office saying it'll take a few days for this phone to be disbanded and taken down in hong kong it's not declare if it will be replaced there is a chinese mainland version called oh yes in which has only chinese cons and which of course can be can be censored so that the us tech giants reassessing their positions on hong kong a little band in mainland china so will it be banned in hong kong as well. i mean you can argue that this new security law is kind of the beginning of you know what's known as the great firewall of china of battles encompassing hong kong under
6:12 pm
the law or social media platforms and individuals can be they can be fined with up to or over you know $10000.00 euros they can be put in jail for up to a year for sharing content that is critical of the government so the social media platforms now they really have to reassess if they comply with the rules of hong kong like they would have to do in any territory are they good rules the rather vague rules true but like in any territory where they operate there they would have to comply for example with a b if the court order in a criminal case and asked them to you know to give up some use adata so you can argue that would take took is doing their preempting this bad and that the u.s. platforms will have to follow suit or will want to follow suit rather than being bogged down and disputes with beijing and to talk itself why is it called the virtual. take look it's almost become a you know you can call it a proxy almost a symbol of the chinese kind of rising influence and in the world it was banned in
6:13 pm
india recently of border clashes with those 2 countries yesterday my compare the u.s. secretary of state. it's of the the u.s. in skits considering banning. that he also said that you basically giving up your your personal doctor to the chinese communist party if you use this app again take the respondents adopt refuting that they they would do such a thing. they've been trying to disassociate themselves from their kind of chinese roots one of things that they did they've hired a former disney executive as is c.e.o. . and that you know the the app is a hugely popular in the west in the united states it's the 1st chinese app to reach number one on the app stores in the united states and the algorithms in the app they favor you know fun cons and don you know dance videos and means and stuff but it also it is becoming a more political platform like i said the you know has been used in hong kong for political content so. really has a huge task in front of them to kind of find the right balance and i think they
6:14 pm
might be failing at the moment the balance between chinese state kind of chinese ownership roots and the western audiences that uses them. reporter also. ok now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world a bus crash in southwest china plane 21 lives and he clenched into a reservoir rescuers say 15 people survived the passengers included high school students taking him nationwide university entrance exams. more than a 1000000 residents of the japanese island of chi you should have been told to flee their homes amid the relentless right now the death toll from recent downpours as risen to 50 according to local media and more heavy rain is said to be on the way. and you look down as could go into force in australia's 2nd largest metropolis of bell but after a spike in new coronavirus cases all the 5000000 people have been ordered to stay at home unless for work food exercise or medical care the lockdown is due to last
6:15 pm
at least 6 weeks. german aid organization felt or his assess the coronavirus pandemic could push a 1000000000 people around the world into hunger the charities launched a campaign to support some of the world's poorest people saying he needs to raise 100000000 neurons to help those situation has worsened because of the pandemic. a video has emerged appearing to show masked men attacking the boats of migrants trying to reach greece the identity of the attackers has been unclear but the w.'s investigations unit on the belling can't research collective have now uncovered information suggesting the attackers may be linked to the greek coast guard athens denies any wrongdoing. the sea of greece poses a puzzling question was a disturbing answer more migrant boats are leaving turkey for the e.u. but on the greek island of les plus there hasn't been an increase in
6:16 pm
a rival's. there were 19 people on this boat but that one. is 16 year old from afghanistan to these pictures he said he was shortly after masked men attacked them from endangering the boat was in greek waters off last bus on the 5th of june this year the boy doesn't want to be identified. by our money all of for much of the course to men have. received they are wearing black mark on their faces and i want to have nice all or no more. the you why we should connect it. we analyzed dozens of similar reports and videos comparing them was jus a data are such as coastlines and the position of the sun along with information from emergency calls official reports and eyewitness accounts our conclusion refugees and migrants are being kept away from the greek coast at times by force it
6:17 pm
seems masked men often attack migrant boats on the open seas them edging them so they can't be steered and leaving them adrift sometimes they even actively force the boats back into to fish waters a tactic known as push back. these prospects i need a lead against international law but it's difficult to establish for certain who these messman actually are even though the evidence is apparently of all well me. evidence such as this video. did you tell us the south both structures let our colleagues from the investigative platform spelling cat and lighthouse reports to clearly identify the d.m.v. as belonging to a greek coast guard ship. but greece denies using illegal methods the coast guard told t w. the operations conducted by a harbor police and hellenic coast guard are in accordance with international law
6:18 pm
and international conventions we also asked the european border agency frontex which works closely with the greek coast guard their answer didn't refer to the incidents in question they just said all of their border control operations conform to the highest standards my question to context you say you don't know but how could you not know and what steps have you taken to rebut what we have as evidence . for now kiki has been watching migrants moving across the gnc for years and has seen a rise in the number of pushbacks she has been monitoring the situation for the european center for constitutional and human rights. you is expected to stand up for a new law to be respected and we haven't seen that we haven't seen it in public statements made by representatives of the e.u. institutions and we haven't seen it in any sort of legal action that new
6:19 pm
institutions have to power to take against member states not respected. members of the european parliament and the un high commission for refugees are demanding an official investigation they say greece has the right to defend its borders but it must do so within international law. since george floyd was killed in police custody in the united states and the resurgence of the black lives of knots of movement the behavior of former colonial powers in the territories they once occupied has come under renewed scrutiny germany was one of those powers early in the 20th century it oversaw the killing of tens of thousands of ethnic people in the may be in south west africa talks about how germany can atone for its actions have been going on for years and last month and the various presidents suggested there might soon be an apology but says the issue is complicated. german southwest africa was the one colony where
6:20 pm
germans really settled but in doing so they forced the indigents for control of scarce resources in this mostly arid territory the germans killed more than 80000 herrero and namor people in fact it's estimated 75 percent of the herero were wiped out and victims skulls taken away in a failed search for proof that white europeans was a period. can image and we say we are free to put the years might have passed but the heroes and nam has still won justice i made lengthy talks between the german and namibian government. apology commission any politician or main points 3 points which were demanding from the german government because we cannot really go to lead if somebody did apologize and i think is that the. negotiations between the 2 governments. but.
6:21 pm
did you know most in the rules excluded from these. negotiations this makes things difficult germany has ruled out paying compensation offering to fund development projects instead. there's a great deal of germany's past that's well and publicly documented here and that includes the horrors of it and that's in history this for example is the holocaust memorial but that's the history that germany acknowledges this country has been slow and even reluctant at times to own up to some of its actions as a colonial power and that's another dark era to uncover. yet some streets in germany are still named after its colonialist and it appears that's not a bother to everyone. but did want to should you not have a problem with our beautiful street names. campaign groups have succeeded in
6:22 pm
getting this subway station renamed its outgoing name is from a derogatory word used to describe black people all part of a quest to get germany to look inward and ask tough questions about its attitude today towards some elements of its past. have a look at this with some rube or who founded the bird and post colonial association welcome to d w how can indeed assured a country atone for atrocities committed in its history. my country was under the 100 and your friend to what and in tons anea in the southern part of tons anea there was a very very big. colonial war norman is my jumanji because you fled here over 20. you french communities came to para against a german they were fed elf and then it was
6:23 pm
a wall and this strategy which of the gemini used it was known as. many binding eth so they were setting. the houses their fears their forests everywhere and when people are running that they were shorts down and also what they did they close old their wells and just streams with the concrete so that people cannot get. what even to drink and even they get deployed or to the water so you find a ditch time most people died over $300.00 out 1000 they're talking of that but it could be even more than half a 1000000 and then those are the ones who are cup chuch in this all the chiefs all the supposed to lead us they were
6:24 pm
brought to a kind of reprise or in front of a church and if they were hanging let us say this sunday 20 the next time they might be 15 and so it according to their wishes and before they were hand then they have to put the check fest to confess that what they did teach to jim and us totally. so that's an example of one i'm sure of many horrible things were that were done and just colonial rule so how then does germany now atone for those actions in the past if i end up to now really the germans i not take any serious kind of might be an apology and of the show apology to their.
6:25 pm
dissidents of their victims they have not even doing that. and you do have a theory as to why because clearly germany has something of a past so as far as its actions in the holocaust ago it has faced up to that why not the actions of its colonial of its colonialists yes there we you asked me a very couric question for me i have been trying to get the answer but i thought and because of our skin color we as black they are not as serious as they took serious to the jews because what happened to us was the same thing you say you think this is purely this is purely racial that germany is very likely seriously because they didn't reply is it is because even you find it that now there even this is serious here which
6:26 pm
are glorifying those colonial crimi in us and s. t. there and we have been demanding the ok well this is clearly an issue that will have to recertify now thank you so much for helping us with that when you're a sort of border from the burden post close thank you. this is day dubliners has reminded of the times told us in present shut up also laura says he's tested positive for called with 19 having previously dismissed the disease as being just a little flu is also drawing criticism for sanka to taking steps to stop presidents contracting the disease was not close enough. i'm told calls chief executive has wanted anyone breaking the controversial new security law will face a serious consequences cari mom said the law would make hong kong safer by preventing the bottom protests. from old world news at the top of the hour in the meantime of course as always the web site d
