u.s. president donald trump has don't play the severity of the pandemic just last friday bill sonora vetoed legislation requiring people to wear face masks in shops and churches today brazil's president announced that he has tested positive for the corona virus and he says he is taking a drug that doctors say does not work against covert 19 u.s. president trump however says it does tonight a lesson in the power of a virus and a lesson in the limits of political power lessons learned the hard way i'm bored golf in berlin this is the day. it was a little bit like that if you started on sunday with the well feeling that were some during the day on monday. together with my doctor i've been told that the symptoms could be a possible culprit 19 infection. considering the symptoms of

the medical team decided to use hydroxy to require you to do this if i hadn't taken the test i wouldn't know how to come to turned out to be positive. up with you. also coming up tonight the new security law in hong kong what does it mean for free speech online and what about social media companies can they adapt or will they have to pick up and lead. like it will. even the same. tracks well as to continue to receive funding we have to somehow. their worst scenario than remain also to move to. other countries. and to our viewers. yes in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day

with the coronavirus and presidential powers today u.s. president donald trump notified members of congress that he is withdrawing the country from the world health organization with the number of new corona virus infections soaring in the u.s. and with hospitals filling up taking the u.s. out of the w.h.o. may appear self defeating but it is in line with trump's attempts to deflect efforts to blame him for america's coronavirus crisis while trump continues to ignore the reality of the pandemic another president no longer has that option today brazilian president is liable sonora announced that he has tested positive for the corona virus the 65 year old has symptoms but he told reporters today that he is feeling better thanks to the entitle larry a drug pushed by president trump also noro is known as the trump of south america both leaders have

a lot in common they've down played the pandemic and they've refused to stand behind efforts to stop the virus from spreading the virus however does not recognize executive power or privilege of any kind so far trump has avoided infection today he and the world sell 1st hand that the title mr president means nothing to the corona virus. from the very beginning of the outbreak that would shine. repeatedly played down the risks of the corona virus and initially described this as an issue flu he also flouted central distancing recommendations and other measures including planned facemasks in public. has been tested 3 times previously who came back negative however on tuesday he proceeded in rightwing glee to confirm to local media he had tested positive for conflict 19 will see if you will be a row if you don't. on sunday with

a certain feeling of being known well the cult was a monday with newseum tiredness a bit of muscle pain under fever that reached 38 degrees in the names of the new and then thoughts that with the symptoms and with the presidential don't have believing it to be a possible curvy 1000 infection i had a c.t. scan at a military hospital here in brasilia my lungs were clear. brazil is the 2nd worst hit country in the world after the us with more than 65000 deaths and at least 1600000 coronavirus cases. despite this pass restaurants and other businesses are slowly reopening the people still have to outguess and are getting as long as we follow the safety measures space between the tables i think it's worth reopening but we are the only ones in here but if for instance there's someone on another table i think i would probably feel

uncomfortable to w.h.o. has won the pandemic is far from over as it's taking its toll around the wild parties. that have now been 11400000 cases of corporate 19 and more than 535000 lives have been lost the outbreak is accelerating. and we have clearly not reached the peak of the pandemic the world health organization also wish to persevere in president also narrow a speedy recovery in his own battle against the coronavirus or more this was going after rio de janeiro talk to journalists but he is able he's been following this story for us good evening to you might say years does this have any impact on both an hour's ability to execute the office of president.

but so no himself says no he wants to go on to govern the country from his home by video conference so for at the moment it's not sure if he would do so really or if president. replace him but in the end it depends on the severity of the symptoms of both scenarios so the next days will be turbulent him brazil. as we know the president will sonars says that he is taking the anti-malaria drug that has been pushed by u.s. president donald trump now doctors say that medication does not work against covert 19 so do we know why is also not taking it yeah i think he sed he still believes in this a medicine and simply has that he he thinks it can help he's convinced by it instead of the critics by experts a recent study in man hours in the amazon capital of brazil showed that crow kind

can. cause heart attacks can of course problems which haven't been there before so it is not recommended by experts for all type of patients so in ours taking it in the end maybe because his role model donald trump all and so promotes this type of medicine we know that there is a growing list of political leaders who have become infected with the coronavirus some have changed their policies about the virus some have not how do you think this will impact the policies of president. i think personally that it won't have a huge impact on his policies in future because i'm both an r. is really keen to get a common new economy back on track he needs a strong economy in order to be reelected in 2 years and this is main aim to he wants to achieve and on the other hand he's in the middle of

a political crisis many ministers and stepped back in the last weeks of month so he still he was a radical and the current cries and i think i think he will go on like this because he is under pressure. politically and that means he might not change too much correspondents yes it hurts reporting tonight from rio de janeiro in brazil but yes thank you. we are still beat deep in the 1st wave of this if you look at the at the graph from europe europe the european union as an entity it went up and then came down to baseline now they're having a little blips as you might expect if they try to we open we would help never came down to baseline and now is surging back so it's a serious situation that we have to address immediately dr anthony fauci there

america's top infectious disease expert on the worsening pandemic in the united states and now the corona virus is threatening a new group of people more than a 1000000 international students in america some schools including harvard university plan to only offer courses online next semester u.s. immigration authorities say foreign students in rolled at schools with only online courses will not be allowed to stay in the u.s. and could face deportation. now this could impact more than a 1000000 students a large share of them coming from china south korea and canada and there has been a lot of reaction on social media to this the economist danny bihari tweeting the trumpet ministration has now decided to deport yes deport thousands of foreign students the most skilled and talented young men and women of the world already in the u.s. and holders of a valid visa if that's not america attempting suicide please explain what is

president us richard haass president of the u.s. council on foreign relations tweeted this having foreign students on u.s. campuses is a great way to make none americans pro-american it's also a great way to introduce them to our ideals and persuade them to stay or take those ideals home we seem now to be intent on turning them away and turning them against us but some also defending the move mark krikorian executive director of the u.s. center for immigration studies tweeted this what would be the point of foreign students being physically in the u.s. if all classes are online unless the real goal is to get a job and or put down roots as part of the scheme to stay permanently well to discuss the impact of studying in the u.s. and what today's announcement means to u.s. power and influence i am joined tonight by dr andrea snicker a member of the german parliament for the conservative c.d.u.

party and also here in berlin professor would call you're an economics professor from the u.s. who teaches here in germany gentlemen to both of you welcome to the day mr nick let me start with you if you were one of those international students in the u.s. not so long ago i mean you studied at johns hopkins and harvard university just to name a few what impact did that have on hugh you are today. only on me personally but i think for generations of international students coming to the united states 'd that has deeply shaped their and form their perception of the united states of their of the ideals. of american democracy and has been a great element of soft power of the united states around the globe and i find it almost incredible that you would to deliberately. after hate that enormous element

of soft power in shaping views and perceptions around the world professor call your let me get your take on this would be you have seen 1st hand what studying in the us can mean for your students right here in berlin haven't you tell me about that. ok for 25 years i taught in the john f. kennedy institute for north american studies at 3 university for women and we require our students to go abroad and naturally people would go to canada and the united states and to a student they would come back with a much richer different differentiated view of america what makes america great where america shares problems just like problems here in europe but it an understanding. for the united states and a respect of deep respect for its educational institutions they bring that back the

other thing to keep in mind the american students gain enormously they don't have to come and go broad to have close intimate contact with. students coming from abroad they enrich the campus environment in the united states it's hard to imagine the stem a group science technology engineering studies mathematical studies these are many many foreign students who mean to help maintain the programs and that's where the long term innovations for the american economy are to be found out it's you can't find a better win win situation than bringing the ambitious talented students to the united states today the head of the council of foreign relations richard haass tweeted that forcing foreign students to leave will marks the end of u.s. soft power i'd like to get both of your reactions to the fessor call you let me

stay with you just a moment i mean do you agree is this america attempting suicide. you know. many things going to happen one needs a longer term view but this is definitely a step and a major step in the wrong direction it also seems to signal a belief that this is not just a temporary problem the whole idea of online teaching is not to replace face to face long term and change the nature of higher education no it's an emergency measure chosen very responsibly by the individual universities so in many ways it would almost seem like it's a surrender. to the code if epidemic mr nick you know you and i have talked many times on this program about the importance of soft power

especially for superpower like the united states do you see americans soft power being eroded here. i think it's clearly one more decisive step in giving up the moral leadership and and the soft power that has shaped him into foreign policy and america's wrote in the world for decades and don't forget i think this goes back much stronger to the founding of many of those u.s. universities. in the early days of the united states if i recall. from germany during the nazi time who came to us universities including the new school in new york and others. at the bar college which recently is represented so there's a lot much longer tradition than just people of all the generation here and. being the world's university and being credit lee attracting to talent from all over the world has been

a key ingredient to soft power and will remain so in the 21st century and i fear it is another element of what richard house has also called the education of the united states as a global leader yeah it's a very good point it's a disturbing point because you can't buy soft power either you either have it or you don't undress nick member of the german parliament and professor irwin collier economics professor here in berlin to both of you gentlemen thank you very much we appreciate you sharing your stories with us tonight thank you. they get. the new security law in hong kong has created more questions than answers how far will the wall go in curtailing personal freedoms what we do know is this authorities in the territory have begun combing the city's libraries to find books that may violate the law all the wall which forbids supporting hong kong independence today hong kong chief executive kerry lamb warn people not to break

the wall promising harsh consequences but pro-democracy activists fear the consequences are already real w.c. because reports. that for years now everyone has joined fellow members of his party on 1st of july to mark hong kong's handover to chinese fruit but everything changed now sweet it isn't uncommon for such a small peaceful protest you have 200 plus police to search a dozen office by cast this movie didn't you know you may never see the picture of me then hong kong is on the street ok not because we are content not because. we are now happy with because it is because now we have to upgrade now very very hard to think about how the world. was the 1st protest seems to new security will was put in place was to see offenders go to prison for life for suppression. several parties have now decided to disband some leading activists

have fled but a very long and his party i'm not about to follow suit. because if the point i make to the party to bow down now what's it to say that to do wrestle hong kong psychologically. the most selfless keypad to go to prison for a long time we're not going to take a walk we have been doing for years but depends on their own. suppression that we are going to face in the future there will be short term. modification and transformation of activism in hong kong there's no doubt a strong sense of fear also lose hope and support self-censorship has been the most common reaction just as many pro-democracy restaurants have quickly taken down declarations for political messages leaving empty mammals as a way of silent protest. beijing in sr along a fact only a minority of lawbreakers critics say political activism is under threat and that's

just the 1st step i mean the 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 also soft local and international n.g.o.s but a new law means many are now we considering options there's a lot of and very quick thing we don't know what do you mean by some how may be called where foreign forces because we have from overseas under this law we acquired and sure like how it will impact even the safety of individuals to our or widest rights well as to if we continue to receive for funding we have to somehow p. pair their worst scenario down we may also consider to move to. other countries. beijing has played down the last impact saying in nearly plans to

strengthen the management of n.g.o.s and our organizations in hong kong. even though is still clear how the security law will be implemented activists and africans here will have to be where the face a rocky road. was i and uncertain future it is talk about that i want to bring in steve he's director of the university of london's china institute he joins me tonight from nottingham is just wrong it's good to have you on the program let me 1st start by asking you what do you make of cheery lamb today threatening harsh consequences for people who violate this new security law. but it is to be expected the new law was introduced to intimidate people in hong kong and therefore it is understandable that the chief executive would be making a statement like that in order to intimidate people there do you see this law as

part of the process that beijing is now forcing to reclaim hong kong that's going to take us to the end of this period of 2 systems one state. well one country 2 system of hong kong has effectively been pushed to end the chinese government you would say as it has already set that it is to strengthen in one country 2 systems what they really meant is that the strengthening of one country 2 systems as the communist party of china understands it and he finds it but that's not the way how people in hong kong would understand it is not the way how any objective analyst would understand it or what does that mean then mr song for the people in hong kong

for those pro-democracy protesters and activists what what would you advise them to do when the situation. well what they should do is really a matter for dams to decide to do and it's not really for an outsider like myself to tell them to watch to do what the chinese government has done and east essentially east to criminalized effectively all the major pull test actions that were being taken by people in hong kong who when those to protest in this some of year. and it includes in fact not only the action of toll tast it also include anybody who should give any 2 nations to eat protesters. for that matter any parents who go out to pick up

a youngster who had been on a protest movement somewhere in hong kong they are now illegal we know that china strongly resents what it says is foreign interference in its domestic affairs and with that in mind and with knowing how important china is and remains as a trading partner. can the international community can it bring pressure to bear upon beijing when it comes to hong kong. well that depends on whether the international community in the meeting has to winch to do so we are looking at. the e.u. working shift to get there with the u.k. and the 5 countries and i think that is going to be a lot of pressure on the chinese government open hong kong but you cannot walk to geta and the chinese government will be able to buy and move which is stunned

that modus operandi but this must come at the best time then for beijing when it looks at europe and it sees bret's it taking place the u.k. and the european union are going separate ways they're not coming together this is exactly what china wants is an. i think you're absolutely right to be fair the chinese government had clearly he signed it that they would be doing something unknown to light of what they're doing now by no one but last year well people call it 19 and became a and issue but with 19 ringing countries in europe and dignity in the united states to its needy and dependent on china. from their perspective tommy is now absolutely perfect to push a very very hot mind on hong kong mr steve song director of the university of

london is trying to institute joining us tonight for not a good reason we appreciate your time and your insights tonight very valuable thank you thank you again situation is show us so us ok thank you duly noted. well the day is almost done the conversation continues online you can join us on twitter either at u.w. news or you can follow me at or at go off t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow here's another good will see of it everybody. oh boy.
