running case has already put a strain on german turkish relations. the trial of dennis you jail has lasted more than 10 years and finally the court in istanbul has delivered a verdict the german turkish journalist has been found guilty of spreading propaganda on behalf of a terror group you jails lawyer very sad says the case was a miscarriage of justice right from the start. we don't accept this verdict we think it's illegal because the constitutional court had already cleared him. a year ago the turkish constitutional court declared that holding you jel in custody was illegal breaching his personal freedom so we will appeal today's verdict and continue to pursue justice dennis's cases also before the european court of justice right now today's ruling shows that turkish law is not about justice. this should all you jail was

forced to leave turkey after 12 months spell in prison from germany he reacted to the ruling. this verdict again shows how little the rule of law counts in turkey and in what a terrible state it is the constitutional court didn't just declare my imprisonment illegal it went through all of the articles mentioned in the indictment the commentaries reports and interviews i wrote for event and it declared all of them lawful under the constitution. this isn't the only case against you joe in turkey 2 new counts have been brought against him insulting the turkish president and the state. we asked our on in istanbul yulia han just how independent the turkish courts are and what message the turkish authorities might be trying to send with this but it's. well according to dennis your job himself and his lawyer this whole case has been politically motivated from the very beginning president himself had

publicly accused joe and i quote him here of being an agent terrorist so nobody had really expected the judges today to be let's say brave enough to acquit dan is your jo of all the charges that were brought against him and in a 1st reaction today then is your job he wrote an article of reaction in his the newspaper he said he thinks he was given a jail sentence today because the judges did not one to embarrass president edwin according to him and he's repeatedly said that he thinks the turkish judiciary is not independent it's being instrumental lies for political reasons you know as we mentioned of course it has been sort of and that the sentence in absentia but what does this mean for him now as usual that is. well well he is in

germany right now it's very unlikely he has to go to jail here in turkey again although it's probably very unsafe for him to travel here to turkey but if you remember the man has already spend a year in a maximum security jail here in istanbul most of the time in solitary confinement with a very few opportunities to receive a visit to his so this certainly has done a damaged to his personal freedom now dennis here jill is very keen to emphasize that this is not just about him he is free in germany but there are many many other journalists human rights defenders government critics who are still behind bars here in turkey and that's what he is always emphasizing all right that's all. in istanbul for us on the story thank you. and now to some other stories making news around the world iran must barack obama and joe biden are among several high profile twitter accounts hijacked by scam is twitter is investigating the breach

a surge in cases and an e.u. fund that could prove a lifeline for the country's battered economy is still not certain but today's focus was not on the future it was about remembering the 10s of thousands the nation has lost. it's been a difficult time for us country king philippe and his wife corinne the chiefs presided over the solemn and dignified ceremony for the $28000.00 spanish victims of the coronavirus. or usually are going to show right emotion and wish the memo to you today is a day that we will never forget. it will remain in our hearts. because today we are now with the alamos piety you know what you actually mean and the highest honor of our stage was miller's i think the thousands of citizens who have lost their lives due to the coronavirus or review if you know it. was.

the european commission president jose left on the line was among several top european figures present. the eh. the old. one after the other they showed their condolences spilling flowers the teeth the yes also included those where most impacted by the pandemic such as relatives of the victims the ethical and no i believe me at a level when i speak of my brother i'm talking about all of them and remembering all of them. sad and he was 28 years old. he was $100.00 in 2 and there plus a whole year on some of us and matting on last us from. there where you

at the end of the half hour ceremony a minute of silence. dozens of countries have launched contect racing apps to want to say new 19 infections and if it's to keep the virus contained it's been exactly one month since germany rolled up its own app and it seems a good time to us is it working. on youssif is yet to oncet good to see so is there any indication that this app is helping in the fight against a virus or one thing that health officials are looking at to judge this is how many people have downloaded it so in germany almost 16000000 people have downloaded it that far outpaces countries like france that have a similar app or only about 2000000 people so far have downloaded the app so a real big difference there and some studies have shown that as long as 15 percent of the population is using a contact tracing app like the one in germany then it has some effect on the infection rate in the countries so it can already start working another way to

judge whether or not it's effective is how many people have announced to have said that they have the corona virus they've tested positive for the crown of iris through this ok and how many people been warned of that the health minister in germany has estimated that he estimated that after the 1st 2 weeks about 300 people had said that they had tested positive through this app and that a few 1000 people had been warned but one of the big problems here is that they don't have any specific statistics on how many people are using the app regularly using it correctly and how many people have been warned of a possible contact with somebody with coronavirus because of the way the app works with data privacy that the data is not stored on a central server and they don't have access to that ok so this that i keep saying this app is quite conscious to data privacy. has that hindered its effectiveness there's open debate about this right now no data privacy advocates have praised

this absolute it's definitely a good thing in their terms that the app does not store data on a central server. uses a bluetooth protocol that only shares information with the phone that you come in contact with so that's the contact tracing and there is no evidence that this has hindered the effectiveness of the app some people even say that it makes it better because what they're really looking at here is how many people are downloading and using this app and if you compare it france and germany there's some evidence that more people download it because of the data privacy built into the app on the other hand there is it's pretty clear that judging the app judging how effective it is and answering questions problems and have is much harder because there is no overview of how this how uses a using this app right so there's a simple answer to that yes and no i mean more data privacy means more people downloaded them but the feedback cannot be incorporated into

a new version of the interesting i'm going to say thanks for that and here in germany a classic novel about billions and a will it has been given a cinematic 21st century make a 1000000000 alexanderplatz has been adapted for the screen several times the latest award winning fish and cross the plots around that african migrant he tries to start a new life in the city but soon finds himself entangled in the criminal world. it wasn't until for liberation now it was the 2nd chance francis comes from western africa he wants to build a new life in berlin after a traumatic church. if. he wants to be good lead a decent life but how can he give it no job and no papers and how much for this if you flee your homeland then you don't just lose this place but you lose your
