5:01 pm
won and lost. also coming up here in germany the high profile trial of the man accused of targeting a synagogue in the city of highland gets under way to passers by were killed during the attack. and what happens when you can't even pretend to get up close and personal will find out how the film industry is adapting to the koran the bars and then if. i'm sumi so much going to it's good to have you with us european leaders have sealed a deal on an unprecedented 750000000000 euro coronavirus recovery fund after 4 days of heated talks leaders finally agreed on the details of loans and grants to be given to countries hardest hit by the pandemic all of these 750000000000 euros 390000000000 will be given in the form of grants the remaining 360000000000 euros
5:02 pm
will be dispersed in the form of cheap loans it is a compromise that satisfies the demands of more fiscally conservative countries. good morning everyone we did it europe is strong europe is united level for these were the words the delegates have been working towards a deal has been done and the wrangling can stop everyone can go home some kind of when. relief was visible on their faces despite the masks sharma shire council chief francis emmanuel mccall and ursula fund a line commission president plus standing tallest of them all. from the netherlands . he had led the group limited the grants and made them conditional what i was aiming for and i think we have achieved the emergency brake and emergency brake at the level of european council to be able to enforce the
5:03 pm
reforms in member states if they are not taking place against the broker that particular member states. have agreed with european commission states like poland invicta all bans hungary they insisted that they hadn't been boxed in and you have to be sure i will make a connection between the rule of law and budget. was. pact was successfully rejected despite underlying problems that haven't gone away maclin macor say the e.u. works. after a very long session we have reached a good conclusion and i am very happy about that they're all. europe has shown that it is prepared to take new paths in what is a very special situation i believe is necessary extraordinary events and in this case that's the pandemic that has reached us all demand extraordinary new methods
5:04 pm
what. the whole thing may have been close says the deal they reached will help all 27 e.u. nations should ever i'm convinced that this plan this budget will respond to the health economic and social challenges we are all facing in our countries. it was a long fight 4 days of negotiations brought significant divisions survive but the deal stands and now everyone can go home for more perspective on this story we have spend your gold with us he's a member of the european parliament and the speaker of the german green delegation mr gold thank you for joining us i 1st of all want to get your perspective on this agreement what do you think were the big winners here. well it's not about who is the big winner i think that is quite silly of the council to try to
5:05 pm
confuse it with the championship what is 1st of all important is that we have a budget deal between the member states so we can move to the negotiations with the parliament and the parliament has of course to work carefully and to consider carefully the deal in order to take a perspective for the european common good rather than each leader looking for his national or her national audience and obviously there were some be taboo stuff european policymaking broken successfully at that summit and that is basically good news as you said the european parliament will have to look very closely at this agreement now after very difficult negotiations what do you think will this deal get passed. well they steal as it stands will certainly not pass because obviously the european parliament has important points to make so basically when it comes to the recovery package this is the 1st time when that we take up
5:06 pm
corona bonds from the market and spend it now when it's most needed so that's a move forward and the breaking of taboos in europe but. the spending of the money it is not going to the common future programmes of the union such as education we surge adaptation to climate change and so on so the european continent should insist that more money is spent on the common future programmes of the union to make europe stronger and most importantly the deal on the rule of law is far too weak we need tougher rules on member states which break the full not fundamental well use of the union i do want to ask you about climate protection because this deal earmarks 30 percent of the entire package for climate protection and that's going to be spent over the next several years so that's not enough you're saying. well look the 30 percent are success for the parliament because it was the
5:07 pm
parliament insisting on 30 percent and member states wanted $25.00 so we moved them quite a bit but the current accounting for the 30 per cent it is a bit doubtful but yeah so never doubt never trust the statistics you have and you haven't paid yourself so therefore we need to look at what is counted as climate spending and 2nd for that we cover a package that was the original idea or the commission to spend 30000000000 in order to help struggling with germs which are suffering economically from a new car fossil fuel future this just transition funding has been cut from $30000000000.00 to $10000000000.00 and that is the price to pay which is difficult for all regions which depend so far on 1st sight of fuel business models and we want to socially just transition for these regions if we take an overview of this
5:08 pm
deal now mr gold it's been 4 long days getting to this point as you were watching it as well all the negotiations happening how do you feel about the ease ability to get through this crisis together. well look at the leaders of the member states because they take decisions in unanimity they tend all to have in mind mainly the national audience so then if europe moves a big leap forward by spending money in a sort of direct to moat for countries in crisis rounded and celebrating our afterwards the big issue is who was the winner this is how we got into brics it by this move mindset and it shows clearly we have to move to majority voting also on budget issues and in the end probably we need something like a european problem republic rather than member states in consensus trying to govern
5:09 pm
this will never make us competitive we'll have to leave it there spending gold a member of the european parliament speaker of the german green delegation thank you for joining us here and. pleasure. let's check in now on some other stories making news around the world a group of british m.p.'s is criticize the government for failing to protect u.k. elections from russian interference a report by parliament's intelligence and security committee says downing street avoided investigating russian meddling in britain's political system the committee also accused the government of delaying the publication of its reports. in ukraine an armed man has seized a bus and taken at least 10 people hostage in the country's west police said the man is believed to be carrying weapons and explosives interior ministry says the suspect was born in russia and has a criminal background while gary s. prime minister boyko body soft has survived a no confidence motion in parliament the country has seen almost 2 weeks of
5:10 pm
protests over a series of corruption scandals opposition parties attempted to oust bloody soft government but failed to gather enough votes in parliament. the trial has begun here in germany of the man accused of attacking a synagogue in the eastern city of heller last october he is alleged to have killed 2 passers by after failing to gain access to the synagogue poor the holiest day in the jewish calendar prosecutors say he intended to massacre the worshipers inside. and wearing a coronavirus face mask 28 year old stephan b. was led into court to answer for one of the worst anti semitic attacks in post-war german history it left 2 people dead but prosecutors allege he intended to kill many more $43.00 victims and relatives have joined the trial as cope plaintiffs they want answers but there are concerns the suspect could seek an opportunity to
5:11 pm
spread more anti semitic hatred. of this case is that the perpetrator has already confessed he doesn't deny what did i have learned from the files that in the end he only denies he has killed by arguing that he believes that struggle is necessary to achieve certain political goals. and. xenophobia and related to anti semitism. it was your last year judaism's holiest day when an armed men tried to storm the synagogue in her $52.00 worshippers were inside only the stood innes of the door prevented what investigators say would have been a massacre. and then shot and killed 2 people nearby
5:12 pm
this video was filmed by a member of the public the perpetrator live streamed footage of his attack on an internet gaming site. the case has drawn huge interest the start of proceedings was delayed for 2 hours while dozens of reporters and others passed through security. across germany people are concerned about a rise in the number and severity of anti semitic crimes according to official figures such attacks rose by 13 percent last year the interior ministry says right wing extremists are to blame despite that context the authorities say they're reacting to violence with fairness. the defendant is presumed innocent until a final judgment has been made his statements in the investigation and the videos which are supposed to show parts of what happened did not change anything the presumption of innocence applies without restriction i'm saying. the suspect told
5:13 pm
the judge today that he liked using the internet because people could talk freely their bad chimes with warnings for instance from the government's commissioner for protecting jewish life that social media gives a new outlet to hatred that's just one of the aspects to consider as the call tries to understand an attack that struck not only against jews but against german society as a whole. let's bring in tom a sparrow he's in monte book near hollow where the trial is taking place hi thomas good to see you this is the 1st day of the trial tell us what's been happening. indeed sumi this is the 1st day of a trial that is being watched very closely not only here in germany but also internationally outside the court where we're standing there was a protest earlier today people here on the ring the victims there was a makeshift memorial for the 2 people who were killed and many people also holding signs up for victims of right wing bidens in germany in the past decades meanwhile
5:14 pm
inside the charges were read on the 1st cross examination begun many of the people who were there including some of the co plaintiffs and their relatives were able to find out firsthand from the alleged perpetrator himself not only some important elements about his life but also about his motivations and what he thought about that day in how they didn't. tell us can you tell us more about this alleged perpetrator. we're talking here about a 28 year old german who was described as being isolated socially isolated he himself said he had no friends we heard more today about his relationship to some of the family members including his sister but also a very detailed description about how he planned the attack how he carried it out how he tried to escape how he built his own weapon so very detailed impressions on not only those elements but also some of his motivations we heard some of those
5:15 pm
anti-semitic conspiracy theories that we also saw in his money faster that he published online and we also heard from him about the relationship he had with the internet saying that he believes that it was important because that he could he could express himself freely and even saying at one point that he lamented the fact that the streaming side where he published where he did live streamed the attack. have you actually suspended saying that the streaming was actually more important that the attack himself this gives you an idea of how important this case is here in germany as well it really really is an attack thomas that that shook the country i mean what reaction has there been from from german lawmakers what the consequence is going to be. they have been consequences off the attack protecting synagogues for example or increasing police presence or increasing cooperation between federal and regional level but this is important this trial because on the 100 to seen as a president to understand how these kinds of people work as are known actors with
5:16 pm
an online presence is also important because internationally it is being watched closely the perpetrator the alleged perpetrator himself for example said that he had been inspired by the attack in christchurch new zealand also last year so this is being seen also something that goes way beyond other german abor doesn't it can also be interpreted as something that goes again beyond a germany and can be of interest internationally as well. as thomas sparrow reporting for us from mike to book thank you very much. now a german woman has been kidnapped by an identified gunman in iraq helen u.s. was reportedly abducted on monday outside her office in the capital baghdad where she runs an art collective for young iraqi artists and u.s. was born in berlin and has lived in baghdad for years friends said she had feared for her safety to tour involvement in protests the iraqi interior ministry says it
5:17 pm
has directed security forces to step up their efforts to find the german national. and we can speak now to the crisis are some she's a close friend of helen us she joins us from baghdad thank you so much for joining us when was the last time you heard from your friend helen u.s. . hello. the last time i spoke to hello was maybe 10 days ago. she participated in the walk of the assassinated. chummy hashimi and as the harrier. joining to. walk in and she called me and she was like afraid and. she. wasn't feeling good and asked me when using it happened in future. i told her that you have to take care and this is this
5:18 pm
like every day it's the same man situation. and kidnapping incidents never stop in this city and everybody might be targeted for. a special reason horror just like this so this is the last time i heard the from. fantastic day some call you. in a group. saying that. hello us kids act that i ask them what how did you hear about that they said growing up that it parkers. one of the t.v.'s which is close to 10 the place which had a lot established in baghdad and i would not eat. he was asking them. that say hello is not i mean actually called her and find out
5:19 pm
that it had fallen off and this is one of the indicators that's you know we believe in baghdad as soon as you have someone whose mom while it's off for several hours if you mean she had been kidnapped all right. so what is your message now for hella to authorities to think that they're doing enough to find her. we do not trust that started to school and that's why we are because we witnessed several kidnapping incidents before and this never stopped and in baghdad or other cities. activists and journalists and the stars are being kidnapped and sometimes being released. and there is not. not service of a part of the people who are doing this because. no one said some people had been
5:20 pm
to use who did not know what you know and authorities and never spoke of one of the kidnappers and now never mentioned them before their hard example we have to lose or not and journalists who have being kidnapped if you want to go and do not even do that who did you would show in their cars which could not or not is clear by the authorities are not responding and even they never mention them ok we'll have to leave it there declasse are some a close friend of helen us thank you for joining us fink you're staying in the region now and afghanistan's already under resourced and overwhelmed the health system is struggling to deal with the coronavirus pandemic there are barely any ventilators available nor enough skilled workers to build them but help could soon be on the way thanks to a team of young afghan women with
5:21 pm
a keen interest in what body. this is what the new ventilator prototype looks like and these young women designed it especially for afghanistan hospitals when they're not going to school in herat in the far west of afghanistan they spend their time optimizing robots. the women started working on this ventilator in may they got tips on line from harvard university specialists it only took them 3 months to finish the prototype it was based on a ventilator from the massachusetts institute of technology that comes in that around $20000.00 but the prototype designed by these young women only cost $700.00 . but when we let him go we decided to build a ventilator in afghanistan because the number of these machines in afghanistan is low we hope it will be able to be used in hospitals. so far more than 35000 people
5:22 pm
in afghanistan have tested positive for the coronavirus more than 1000 of them have died as a result of the infection one reason is that there are only about 800 ventilators in the entire country all of them are expensive imports the younger women's prototype offers a long term improvement to the current situation. and girls robotics team have built some ventilators and we are in the process of evaluating the quality of their devices the machines must be tested on humans and then we'll be able to use them in hospitals we appreciate their work. and. even in the capital kabul the clinics lack sufficient staff and technology to deal with the corona crisis but the women from the afghan robotics team are laying the foundation for change. let's check in now at some other stories making the news around the world police in zimbabwe have arrested a prominent investigative journalist hope you know no filmed his detention he's
5:23 pm
just the latest critic of the government to be arrested ahead of anti-corruption protests planned for later this month. and the trial of former sudanese ruler omar bashir has been adjourned due to a lack of social distancing in court a khartoum judge said a larger court room will have to be found for the next hearing in august facing charges relating to the military coup that brought him to power in 1989. now the current virus pandemic hit the pause button on the global film and t.v. industry as europe emerges from lockdown filming has resumed but how do you shoot an intimate scene and keep social distance time to get creative. these old scenes from the german tell a novella all the halls and all red roses could need to rewrite how often a cell has a cup on it as acting is very physical and includes working together closely with other people literally closely that's not possible anymore immediate 5 in one when
5:24 pm
you're acting you don't want to feel like you're on set but this little voice in your head says keep your distance one and a half meters you want to have meters the option and. the same applies behind the camera in the right. film sets a crowded places and keep your distance but they mature enough to remove your masks 10 minute break to get some fresh air who jumped into it's just another thing i have to think about i have my lines the scenes my screen partners the set and then suddenly someone yells from behind one meter 50 and i'm like some kind of common down trick but it startles you and totally throws you off yeah or that was too close. so i spend 80 percent of the day brandishing my yardstick constantly reminding people come on guys maintain a distance you know strong and that's probably the problem is that we have to completely rethink our usual routines. filming has totally changed out there to
5:25 pm
talk to. what sean leg takes longer and cost more in part. you can't make movies without insurance and a pandemic like over 19 is not insured that's a risk it's something we have to discuss with clients and more importantly with policymakers who does it is it worth taking that risk at the end of the day the who to get. totally there's no sense of not filming you have to do it differently and taking every single project into account on an individual basis i stand behind my baton and we've set up a crisis team that to. up an action plan for every production in conjunction with our company doctor to establish who gets tested when and how often you have run an invasion most contested so could we end up with clumsy cheap looking films. i don't think anyone will notice the difference and we even airbrushed out the plexiglas
5:26 pm
during the kiss in a wedding scene no i don't think people will notice. but a sick scene without getting close without rigorous testing and lengthy quarantines it just won't happen. the lights out viewers are reassured that we're keeping our distance yes mom i will. but at some point it will just look awkward that's past me we're just glad to be filming again that is as long as viewers don't switch off which was of. and in professional surfing prizes are usually given to those who can stay on top of the weights but once a year the world surf lee hands out an award for going under in spectacular style nominations have been announced for the white out of the year entries include dramatic scenes from other famous wave knows known as jaws off the coast of hawaii as well as waves off portugal and ireland and the public can now vote online for
