welcome to the program germany is bracing itself for a 2nd wave of. the nation's leading public health institute says there has been a significant rise in infections in recent days also fear that holiday makers will bring them back from trips to the sun so from next week tests. for germany from high risk regions. 6 months after germany saw its 1st krona case many germans feel relatively at ease. but germany's leading research institute warns that the worse may be yet to come when going to ladies and gentlemen this latest rise in covert 1000 cases here in germany is leaving all of

us here. very concerned. after we had managed to keep the number of cases stable for several weeks until we have again seen a significant rise in the case and for several days. the government warns that didn't you call week 1000 clusters must be contained to prevent a 2nd wave. if now in the summer through leisure travel behavior we cause a rise in the rate of infections overall infections then it will become all the harder to keep the situation under control this autumn. so far germany's health system has not been overstretched by the way. over the last 6 months more done 200000 people in germany were confirmed to have coronavirus and more done 9000 lost their lives. paul showed germans continue to support the cautious approach and

government and i believe that the government has controlled the crisis well. that compared to other countries germany has managed. in face of new outbreaks germany has announced it will introduce mandatory tests for travellers returning from high risk countries. we're joined now by ralph brink of he's bottom interleaved of john sloan going to moguls c.d.u. c.s.u. group in the german bundestag mr bring clothes welcome germany is introducing men to treat tests for people to dunning from high risk countries but just for all on to legally possible do you think it's time for politicians to consider creating new options you know it's now time for everyone to pay attention to the virus it's no time for everyone to take responsibility and if i'm in

a situation that i have to travel as i have traveled into high risk countries i guess it's a personal obligation for for everybody to get tested out of this responsibility for the other so we are talking a lot about of political measures like this mandatory tests no for people coming back from those countries but i guess we have to talk more about the single individual responsibility of everybody and if people don't take that individual responsibility would you be in favor of mandating test for everyone. so we have to watch a situation very carefully because as you have mentioned in the report. we on a situation that we have higher figures of people who get infected and all of this reason we have to be more careful and be used to be in the last weeks this is quite normal this is not the 2nd wave was this is a situation that we have figures and off this week and we have to be more careful

and we have now is a situation that many people are coming back from abroad not only from european countries but also from other countries and so this is a new risk this was as high as then let's say and macho a pro because of the summer holidays and so we have to pay attention you talked about the higher figures and germany's robert culp institute itself is very concerned about these figures that you alluded to bird you yourself looking at busy scenes in bogs in airports or in germany do you believe that a 2nd wave can be prevented. yes 2nd wave can be prevented if each individual takes responsibility so keeping a distance and not being in big crowds and have all these protections you need and i guess there are many many possibilities for everybody to take. the us us and people not all because of the most of the germans are very responsive in this case

but many also have forgotten about it and so it's the task on not only of all media but also from the political side. to to switch the attention also people to this item to say ok you have to be carefully what this was about germany but what about the e.u. borders how close do you think we are to seeing potentially new checks and tests at these borders. so if every can free was in the european union is taking responsibility i guess we can award it so if you have a local hotspots of corona i guess we have to fight against the local hotspots and not too close bought us and so every country was in the european union is a responsibility is that we can keep our bought us open because this is one of the main items of the european union to keep the bought us all. individual responsibility and keeping the borders open the message from russia bring close

leader of the conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. group in parliament thank you so much thank you. some breaking news coming in now police in germany are digging up a garden in the investigation into the disappearance of british madeline mccann you'll remember she vanished from a family holiday in portugal 13 years ago in a case that gained global attention german authorities say a man currently in prison is the prime suspect he's believed to be connected to the area where this garden is being searched we'll bring you more updates on this story when we have them but for now we move on to some other stories making news around the world spanish prime minister petro sanchez has reacted with dismay to travel warnings from other european countries after a spike in going on about is that brits who have been to spain will have spent 2 weeks in germans and belgians are being told not to go at all as bush likes them

and leanly the. australian police have arrested 6 people at an anti-racism march in sydney saying there was a ban due to the crowing about his pandemic the protest was led by the family of david dunn gay and indigenous man who died after being restrained by prison guards on. headley. and in vietnam authorities have put the country's biggest city down and on lockdown after 15 corona virus infections were discovered in a hospital public transport has been cancelled in and out of the city which is home to more than 1000000 people. the former prime minister of malaysia. has been sentenced to 12 in jail after being found guilty of corruption it was the 1st of several trials he faces over the looting of billions of dollars from a state development fund the case is being seen as a test for malaysia's efforts to stamp out corruption. former prime minister not

walking into court to be found guilty on all 7 charges and sentenced to 12 years in prison during his time in government billions of ringgit disappeared from state investment fund one m d b prosecutors allege some $700000000.00 landed in his private account and were used to buy luxury watches and diamond necklaces in 2015 evidence of money laundering and theft the marriage in $2800.00 not results government was ousted and the judicial proceedings against him began. goldman sachs is also deeply embroiled in the vast financial scandal having helped set up the fund last week the investment bank agreed to

a $3900000000.00 settlement with the malaysian government regarding allegations of wrongdoing against its employees but it's not over for now he faces 4 more trials linked to the scandal throughout the former leader has maintained his innocence and has said he will appeal today's verdict. in washington d.c. lawmakers and family members have been. democratic congressman and civil rights pioneer john. held inside the rotunda of the capitol building where he is the 1st african-american congressman to state. this one of the. bidding farewell to a friend those who work side by side with the late john lewis pay tribute to his life and legacy. the 17 term congressman from georgia was a pioneer of the civil rights movement remembered for his unwavering pursuit of

a quality for all. they were all john was a person of greatness he also was a person of great humility always giving credit to others in the movement. john committed his life to advancing justice and understood that to build a better future we had to acknowledge the pest. house speaker nancy pelosi spoke of lewis as a man revered and beloved by post sides of the political aisle. his body is lying in state at the capitol rotunda where lawmakers and members of the public a lock can pay their respects. here is the clinical of what it is to be a great man. is the joy for our civil rights and personally most of it was my are

so so many of our generation nowadays needs to look back and learn. how he helped to realize the ideals that this country was founded on that all men are created equal hopefully we as younger people will come together and continue to walk in his footsteps and carry on that mantle. arriving in washington on monday representative lewis took a final 2 out of the capital. his motorcade made a symbolic drive down black lives motto boulevard but as time of heightened racial tension in the u.s. mourners lined the streets on the late congressman. our recording of the late civil rights icon was played one last time for his fellow room make his. never hate. peace. we are 1. 1 people and i want to thank you very much. wanted to go on to the road to relieve

i. look now at some other headlines at this moment nearly 100 people have been rescued from an inflatable boat of the poster in the mediterranean sea the military when today he'd although some groups criticized what they call systematic delays in multis rescue efforts the boat was off the libyan coast when it got into difficulties. ringback new zealand's foreign minister says his country has suspended its extradition treaty with hong kong and will treat the city like mainland china on a number of matters it's a response to try not stripping security law which significantly limits civil liberties in hong kong. and mollie's under pressure to form a new unity government the economic community of west african states has proposed a 4 point plan to resolve mollies political crisis newly appointed ministers are to implement it within 10 days opposition lawmakers say they're reviewing the

recommendations. it's been cold the great hope for generating clean power you clear fusion today scientists in france start assembling an enormous international fusion reactor norn by the. it's already taken 10 years and a global scientific effort to get this far and now the main construction of the huge complex in southern france we begin with components sent from all over the world the idea is to create energy not by splitting atoms like nuclear power stations do not but by fusing them together. for decades scientists have been trying to tap into the power of the tribes the sun nuclear fusion the hope is that it can be used to meet tomorrow's energy demands the basic science is passing conditions like those found in the sun such as very high temperatures hydrogen atoms will fuse creates helium and really some loss of

energy the hydrogen could be extracted from seawater making use of practically unlimited resource. is basically the opposite of conventional nuclear. and it releases energy where you end up with the products afterwards which took me quite how to handle. a train reaction so there's no possibility for it to run away which is what causes a meltdown. scientists said this starts up in the u.k. are working on nuclear fusion one of the biggest hurdles they face is how to get more energy out of the process than they have put in. researchers in southern france are also working on fusion the international project easter is building a giant experimental reactor it seeks to use he's to cause hydrogen to fuse.

the reactor design is what's. call to talk amok a huge hollow down us filled with super haase hydrogen plasma that flows through us like a ring of lightning held in place by powerful magnets. this is proved to be a major technical challenge and it still hard to predict how fuge an energy can be fed into the power grid many think it could take at least 2 more decades before this problem can be solved. we're now joined by hot saumur one of the german scientists involved in the project professor told the tokamak reactor in france is a giant experiment involving scientists from across the world and what is it hoping to achieve so what it's hoping to achieve is the proof of principle that we can get net energy from nuclear fusion as was said this is source of energy or

of the stars of our sun for example so we're fusing hydrogen nuclei we have to make these very hot it's gas which goes up to 100000000 degrees we have made this possible in our experiments already but we always had to put in more energy to heat up to get spend energy which is released from nuclear fusion ito will be 8 of the 1st experiment that shows that we can get a net gains or more energy from fusion and then we deposit in there does not treat it now nuclear fusion has been called the holy grail if you like of clean energy is it really as safe and green as it's cracked up to be. i that of course depends who's going to crack it up to be so i think it's it's clear that it will be sustainable because their primary fuels are due to realign which is a hydrogen isotope from seawater and lithium from which we generate the tritium the other hydrogen isotopes a little and deuterium are very widespread across the world and there are enough to

sustain for hundreds and thousands of years one but thousands of years our energy demands so it's clearly a sustainable it is clean in the sense that it does not produce any c o 2 or any emission of gases which will not run in the atmosphere it is also safe because it cannot have to sort of uncontrolled. melt down off on the device or some of the energy contained in it is not enough for this it does however produce radioactive waste site the structural materials around of which the machine consists will be activated but different from fission these will have a half life time that after say a 100 years you could touch and reprocess them very different from the millions of years we are talking fission where you really have to put things deep underground and some are stored away for a long time so there is no long term storage in visits for radioactive stuff which

comes out of nuclear fusion reactors although some fantastic and ideal therefore when can we expect to see our energy needs powered by nuclear fusion. i just used the pen to beat on your strategy so if you do to a sequential like we do in me you will have each. going into operation protective and up to 5 years from now and then showing them that energy again or on 2035 we were then decided to build a fort off real reactor which was all to produce not electricity to the net which could do this by into 2040 s or say 2050 and then it could be deployed however if you are more hungry for energy like the chinese for example they are thinking about building a demonstration reactor in parallel to each other so these could produce electricity by 20 or 35 or 40 yards are 10 to 15 or 20 years earlier and started deployment could also be please 10 to 15 years earlier depends a bit on your strategy and how much you want to. go on from the max planck

institute thank you so much. now to ukraine where russia backed separatists have been accused of breaching a ceasefire in the country's east the separatists have denied the accusation of the truce agreed with the help of international motivators was supposed to end 6 years of fighting that have killed more than 13000 people. the marks of war everywhere and donetsk people here long for peace but the most recent cease fire was reportedly broken barely after it began ukraine's army blames pro russia separatists or. between 20 past midnight and quarter to one they fired small arms short range missiles and large caliber weapons nobody was injured. and. the separatist rejects the accusations russian television has been reporting extensively on the ceasefire and on a phone call on sunday between presidents putin anson and skee moscow expressed

concern that ukraine's announcement that it wanted to renegotiate the peace plan is the only good legal right ukrainian troops have been fighting russian backed separatists in eastern ukraine since 24. the united nations estimates that some 13000 people have been killed in the conflict. the pro russian separatists in what they call the done yet the people's republic support the latest ceasefire but it's not clear that the agreement will hold. if we face and the me aggression the people's militia is prepared to take appropriate action this cease fire is seen as an important precondition for a new peace summit german chancellor and get a makeover and french president and the new i might call brokered a meeting between putin and selenski in paris in december now they want to do the same in berlin. in the cameroon in west africa a long history of mistrust between hospitals and the public has been made worse by

the coronavirus it has recorded more than 12000 coronavirus cases of more than 300 deaths but some families allege the deaths attributed to overdoing teen are often not really caused by. lazy young reports. this is great for the 1st time. feel. but harry and. something else. go off. on. time. so all of us will begin with. it to be difficult. there was no wheat on the.

tree. the crew of venice. in the country. since come. march. to. the health minister request. camrose medical council which represents all. declined to comment on this report. when medicare exactly 2 more days. he shows us photos of his brother in different hospitals are brought sister into 17

he was diagnosed with broken pneumonia and return to come ruin last july after the family was in close physical contact with him yet none of them has contacted the crew in a virus abundant of course so we know we bury we do this because i know it and of all bury. the money so i feel safe not spread spread for the very far because in my normal activities like to meet my face to get. these videos posted on facebook shows a family attacking a doctor in congress not just c.t. . these are queues of course the decline of patients that have been caused by the corner virus dramatic since i didn't have to come home one income group says there are great. is a frontline doctor at the private hospital in the capital. period just claims made by families. this accusation come so most of the time because denial denial of the 1000 diagnosis most people don't want to believe that they would defy many members

could have been 1000 this in iowa could be linked to a number of factors 1st it's an eye out of frustration over the death of a loved one harry says his family has not seen a test result should his brother was if that there with a cordon of virus you want and says let's all like you don't get any. here now are some more developments in the cone of august pandemic global deaths from the virus of top 650000 with nearly a 3rd of those thought to have been in europe that's as fears of a renewed surgeon infections push a number of countries to reimpose restrictions not long after they were lifted china has reported its 1st case of domestic transmission in more than 2 weeks but the number of new clusters of the infection scattered around the country and unicef has warned that nearly 7000000 more children could suffer from serious malnutrition known as wasting due to the impact of the pandemic millions more will experience

problems because health care and feeding services have been so badly disrupted sport now and 3 major league baseball games have been postponed due to a covert 1000 outbreak all this at a time when the new season had only just started at least 14 people on the miami marlins team have tested positive the moderns were to host the baltimore orioles in their home opener on monday night instead mullins players are staying at their hotel in philadelphia after finishing a series there tuesday's game is also off meanwhile the new york yankees game with the philadelphia phillies on monday was also postpones to prevent the visiting yankees from using the same club as the model instead over the weekend. and a quick reminder now of the top story of your following for you germany is bracing for the 2nd wave of the poll numbers there's been a significant drawings of infections over the last few days and also just feel it could get worse as holiday makers we talk. to. this is you.

don't forget you can keep up with the news on our web site that's. of course follow us on twitter i mean as well. as you and i'll be back in 30 minutes.

to. kick off. from the refugee camp in gonna do more to talk football me some. the world's alfonzo davis. fire in munich the 19 year old's undeniable talent has made him a shooting star. it's the stuff of fairy tales to live in for his story.

is. next on d w. tension remains high in the middle east. israel wants to develop more settlements in the occupied territories. more pro expansionism like him because the tallies increasing jewish presence in the west bank is a combination. manda broken promises israel and the west bank close of. in 60 minutes on d w. i was 15 when i arrived here i slept with 6 people in a room. it was hard. i even got white hair.

learning that language. this gives me a little bunch maybe to interact with the say you want to know their story in the muslims are fighting and reliable information for margaret. i. believe. alfonso davies one of the binges latest fastest rising stars this season last. 19 years young and a fascinating back story with them.
