early and widely needs he can work in fee just family but of course he knows about the potential health risks and that makes him feel he's. no how can you open a country with no cure it's like seeing the people out to discount to see what happened is so many words like guinea pig. african-americans living in atlanta since directly under privileged communities have suffered the most from the covert 1000 looked down and also from what many say was a hasty reopening of the state they were below paying jobs to live in so-called food deserts with no access to healthy nutrition let alone quality health care or education yet they're often so-called front line workers with no other options for work the coronavirus death rate of black americans is roughly 2.5 times higher than that off white and asian americans and twice as high as the death rate for latinos we meet pastor anthony moti he says by reopening the state for business too quickly

the sea off greece poses a possible question was a disturbing answer mom migrant boats are leaving turkey for the e.u. but on the greek island of less fuss there hasn't been an increase in a writers. there were 19 people on the sparrow with them but then it was. a 16 year old from afghanistan to these pictures he said he was shortly after masked men attacked them from a dinky the boat was in greek watters off last bus on the 5th of june this year the boy doesn't want to be identified. to our much. much of the court 2 men have. made their mistake they are wearing black mark on their faces and we want to have a nice call on our board and. you will be wired which is connected.

we analyze dozens of similar reports and videos comparing them 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 seems masked men often attack migrant boats on the open seas damaging them so they can't be steered and leaving them adrift sometimes they even actively force the boats back into true fish waters a tactic known as push back. evidence such as this video. analysis of both structures let our colleagues from the investigative platforms battling cat and light house 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 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 conformed to the highest standards my question to context you say you don't know all but how could you not know and what steps have you taken to rebut what we have as evidence. 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. the e.u. 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 institutions have to power to take against member states not respected immutable 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. israel's plans to annex parts of west jordan have increased tensions in the region in the palestinian enclave bait in the west bank residents are now facing an uncertain future. this tunnel road leads to the palestinian village of beit exile next to the security barrier that separates israel from the occupied west bank at this particular spot the fans of the israeli barrier was built around

a house belonging to one palestinian family there i have slipped in this almost unique enclave right next to a jury said. and the entrance gate and cameras are remotely monitored like other palestinian solders and i have wondered what will happen to his home if the settlement becomes officially part of israel a move based on the controversial you as peace proposal put forth in january. i consider the annexation that we're hearing about to be a show of american and israeli arrogance in order to confiscate more land the israeli and american governments just want the land but without the people killed. so far israel hasn't presented any official maps to explain which areas it could annex 1st and where the lines would be drawn and i have this concern that the move could lead to yet more isolation and further restrictions on movement is specially

since the tram plan and visions only limited enclaves for the palestinians. there's no future. there's no hope of. my hopes are gone that so the support we see for the israelis nobody cares about us palestinians out at all at work with all of the movement between different parts of the occupied west bank is already very complicated for palestinians. it's more than an hour's drive to cross the kalandia checkpoint. only palestinians with an israeli permit can cross from here. from there we return to the settlement of given high. school is one of the settlements founders like most residents he's waiting for more details on the an exaggeration plans from the israeli government. as well to shia holy although a significant things that could come out of this plan is that it can open up

a very positive opportunity for us to expand our settlements for our children and it's also good for the people on the other side. fence if and it's a sion goes ahead it's expected to be a long process on the palestinian side of the fence uncertainty is crowing as once again maps are refigured without the people living there having much say about where the lines are drawn. a loss journey takes us to germany the elderly belong to a high risk group during the ongoing pandemic and their chances of dying due to corona are especially high that's how their townsmen survived an infection despite his old age. you're. when you're young it's different but at the age of 93 what you have to worry about. he had prepared himself for death had housman contracted covert 19 at the age of $93.00 and fought

the disease for more than a month. when it hit me hard i was groggy miserable and i was always tired lost my appetite but. i couldn't eat anything at all times just the same i didn't feel like eating anyway. and during the innes he lost 12 kilos at one point it seemed he would not make it he had already decided against going to a hospital and intubation that habit fought his way through and pushed himself to go just a little bit further every day with his walker he had no fear during his illness. i was afraid when i was taken prisoner i felt fear then but now with the flu i wasn't at all afraid. besides have at the other nursing home residents with covert 900 also managed to get through it as opus the canteen leader describes the day

they all tested negative again. they still got like we were all so happy many staff members cry and i even cried too it was such a relief it was such a great feeling like it's good to. have that is really looking forward to one thing once the coronavirus is finally under control. i have an electric cart i'll be happy when i can go to the divine river that i would drive into the city with it it's been offered for 8 weeks now and it's going to be very angry with me. but not kid i've opened the kindergartens well are older people who don't have the virus not allowed to go out again. and i'm. on the 77
