offenders go to prison for life for suppression. several parties have now decided to disband some leading activist have fled but everything and his party are not about to follow suit. because if for political party to bow down now what's it to say for to the rest of hong kong psychologically. compared to go to prison for long we're not going to trade what we have been doing for years but depends on the. suppression we're going to face in the future there will be short term. modification and transformation of activism in hong kong there's no doubt beijing is just a lot of fat only a minority of lawbreakers critics say political activism is under threat and that's just the 1st step in the now works for an n.c.o.

security law will be implemented activists and efficacious here will have to be where they face a rocky road. brazil has had the 2nd highest number of reported political leaders cases and. the president himself has tested positive but the true number of infections is probably much higher. nothing is the same since the pandemic kid rio de janeiro's 5. adults are out of work children are home from school and cramped unhygenic living conditions greatly increase the risk of infection. i'm scared my children will catch the virus we don't always have running water most of the time we have to haul it from far away and the children don't have any space to play.
8:24 am
experts estimate the number of unreported infections in the favelas to be extremely high that's why local residents have started counting the cases themselves. many of those who died from corona virus in our fellows didn't show up in the health authority statistics we know several examples in our circle of friends. with the help of local residents volunteers are creating a log of cases in the bore real neighborhood. they use whatsapp to collect data on the latest infections not registered by local authorities. this state has been completely absent here ever since the fellows were built in rio we always have to reinvent ourselves and find new ways to survive in the future and the exact number of corunna infections in brazil is not known too little testing is being carried out leandra nevus had typical covert 1000 symptoms but was never tested. i left our neighborhood so i wouldn't infect anyone. i slept on the beach at

infinity my for a week and a half and thought about my neighbors the whole time it's social status in brazil that appears to dictate whether someone is officially infected or not the real numbers tell a very different story. as the coronavirus spread in germany romanians and roma living here say they were subjected to ever more hostility and prejudice. they're tired of being bullied. moana has been a social worker in berlin for 8 years her main responsibility is caring for romanian families many of them roma the fact that none of us feel as mother tongue is romanian helps a lot. she says the discrimination against roma is not new but now exclusion and accusations are rising amid the pandemic. dimming the height media is minority
8:26 am
group that i work with is the roma. this is a it's a fact that they are an object of discrimination. most people don't like to see them around here and also in my country romania. now in these times of crisis when everyone is scared and under a lot of pressure you know people are looking for a scapegoat more than ever. these are employees and that it's not. we meet a man we'll call vasili a roma from the village of fontanella he's been in germany for 5 years and now for the 1st time he's found a decent job he uses a pseudonym so he won't risk jeopardizing his job a whole daughter yes i experienced discrimination and yes since khurana it has gotten worse that's the way it is at work but also when i go shopping for example at the supermarket i'm treated worse than others look all along. in this berlin district several blocks of apartment buildings where mainly roma live

together in cramped quarters were sealed off and quarantined for 2 weeks a total of more than $100.00 people across 7 houses here tested positive neighbors think it was a wise decision to quarantine the entire area is and they're out until 10 at night i don't know if that's allowed i thought they had a curfew. overtopping of the whole skirmish well where the roma feel that others treat them with suspicion and some say it is racist. people look for a guilty party and that we can't defend themselves they wouldn't dare blame other groups imagine how the jews are turks would react if they were treated like this they have a strong lobby the politicians wouldn't dare say things like this about them in public. accusations prejudices and justifications social worker more of interior things that especially during the
8:28 am
pandemic it is important to find peaceful solutions. it's about getting to know each other better and these families need support from me but when you are new and a metropolis and you come from a poor background and didn't get the best education you just need some help. there are some great social projects in berlin i am satisfied but we need even one who are expensive for me then above it all and may i am their man now according to human rights organizations like amnesty international it is clear who is most affected by the coronavirus restrictions in european countries it's the minorities who suffer most.
