been linked to a man who german authorities suspect was involved in a doctrine of murder the british toddler was 3 years old when she vanished from a family holiday in portugal 13 years ago the keys has never been solved despite collecting global attention. to doubles thomas sparrow is following this for us thomas what do you have for us so this was 1st reported by a local newspaper in the city of hanover and then. to john one media by local prosecutors there are certain elements that they did reveal so for example that that's taking place that there's an excavator that's also being used that police will continue taking that in other words that it's not finalized what is still not known from this particular search is why exactly they are in this i don't mind although it has been reported that the suspect spent some time in hanover starting in 2007 so those are key questions that still remain when it comes to the suspect
3:03 pm
the suspect is in prison in the city of keely in northern germany for drug related offenses and he was actually revealed to be the prime suspect of this madeleine mccann case a few weeks ago especially after a german television program that deals with real crime investigations and since then obviously this case has attracted particular attention not only in the english speaking world where it already attracts a lot of attention but also here in germany as well didn't lose time sparrow thank you very much for that restraint germany where the country is bracing itself for a 2nd wave of the coronavirus the leading public health institute here says there has been a significant rise in infections in recent days of protests also feel that holiday makers will bring the buttons back from trips to the sun so from next week tests will be mandatory for travelers returning to germany from high risk regions. 6 months after germany saw its 1st krona case many germans feel relatively at ease.
3:04 pm
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 cases for several days or weeks. 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 our 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
3:05 pm
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 of government and i believe that the government has controlled the crisis well. as compared to other countries germany has managed. in face of new outbreaks germany has announced it will introduce mandatory test for travellers returning from high risk countries. we're joined now by ralph brink of he's bottom interleaved of john selling an american 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
3:06 pm
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 that 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 turns 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
3:07 pm
reason we have to be more careful and be used to be in the last weeks as a squad in all of this is not the 2nd way for us 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're also 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
3:08 pm
i guess there are many many possibilities for everybody. to take. us and people not all because of the most of the germans are very responsive in this case but many of them have forgotten about it and so it's the. 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. european is taking responsibility i guess we can award it so if you have. i guess we have to fight against the local hot spots to close bought us and so every
3:09 pm
country was a european union. responsibility is that we can. because this is one of the main items of the european union to keep the blood of so individual responsibility and keeping the borders open the message from ralph broncos leader of the conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. group in parliament thank you so much thank you. to some of the other stories making news around the world spanish prime minister petro sanchez has reacted with dismay to travel warnings from other european countries after the spike in is there brits who have been to spain will have to spend 2 weeks in. a big advice to avoid certain regions. australian police arrested 6 people at an anti-racism march in sydney saying there was a duty to. the protest was led by the family of david dunn gay and indigenous man who died after being restrained by prison gods. i didn't.

linked to the scandal throughout the former leader has maintained his innocence and has said he will appeal today's verdict. in washington lawmakers and family members have been democratic congressman and civil rights. was held inside the rotunda of the capitol building where he is the 1st african-american congressman to lie in state. of the age of 80. bidding farewell to a friend those who work side by side with the late john lewis paid tribute to his life and legacy. the 17 term congressman from georgia was a pioneer of the civil rights movement remembered for his on wavering pursuit of a quality floor all. through it all john was a person of greatness and also as a person of great humility always giving credit to others in the movement. john
3:13 pm
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 is 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. to be a great man. is the joy for civil rights and personally most of whom 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 for all men are created equal hopefully we as younger people will come together and continue to walk in his

3:16 pm
international fusion reactor nor by the acronym eater 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 will begin with components set from sense from all over the want the idea is to create energy not by splitting atoms like nuclear power stations do but 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 demands the basic science of passing conditions like those in the sun such as very high temperatures hydrogen atoms will fuse creates helium and release and also energy. the hydrogen could be extracted from seawater making use of practically unlimited resources. is
3:17 pm
basically the opposite of. splitting. and that releases energy that you end up with the products afterwards which require how to handle. a chain reaction so there's no possibility for it to run away which is what causes. scientists this start up in the u.k. are working on nuclear fusion one of the biggest hurdles they face is how to get more energy the process that they have pushed in. researchers in southern france are also working on fusion the international project easter it's building a giant experimental reactor it seeks to use he's to cause hydrogen to fuse. the reactor design is what's called to talk amok a huge hollow down us filled with super haas hydrogen plasma that flows through us
3:18 pm
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 fusion 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. one of the german scientists involved in the project professor told the tokamak reactor in france a giant experiment involving scientists from across the world what is it hoping to achieve so what it's hoping to achieve is a proof of principle that we can get net energy from nuclear fusion. this is a source of energy of the stars of our sun for example fusing hydrogen nuclei we have to make these very hard to guess because after a 100000000 degrees we have made this possible in our experiments already but we
3:19 pm
always had to put in why energy to heat up the gas spend energy which is released from nuclear fusion eatable bit of 1st experiment that shows that we can get a net gain so more energy from fusion then we deposit in there because not to heat it 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 the primary fuels are due tiriel which is a hydrogen isotope from seawater and lithium from which we generate the tritium the other hydrogen isotopes are little and deuterium are very widespread across the world and they are enough to sustain for hundreds and thousands of years hunt but thousands of years are energy months so it's clearly sustainable it is clean in the
3:20 pm
sense that it does not produce any c o 2 or any other emission of gases which will not run in the atmosphere it is also safe because it cannot have to sort of control its meltdown of all the device or some of the energy contained in it is not enough for this it does however produce radioactive waste some of the structural materials around of which machine consist 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 long term so there is no long term storage in visits for the radioactive stuff which comes out of nuclear fusion reactors all the sounds fantastic and ideal therefore when can we expect to see our energy needs powered by nuclear fusion. i just discontent to be on your strategy so if you do do
3:21 pm
a sequential like we do in the e.u. we will have each other going into operation project going up to 5 years from now and then showing a net energy gain around $25.00. then decide to build a follow up real reactor which would also produce net electricity to the net which could do this by into 2040 years 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 green demonstration reactor in parallel to each other so these could produce electricity right 20 or $35.00 or 40 yards are some 10 to 15 or 20 years earlier and started deployment could also be at least 10 to 15 years earlier defends a bit on your strategy and how much you want to hop song from the max planck institute thank you so much for your work come let's have a quick look now at some of the latest developments in the grown of out of spend
3:22 pm
a global deaths from the virus of topped 650000 with the idea 1st of them in europe that's as fair as a for renewed sudden 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 with a number of new clusters of the infections scattered around the country and unicef has warned that nearly 7000000 more children good suffer from serious malnutrition due to the impact of the pandemic millions more will experience problems because health care and feeding services have been so badly disrupted in cameroon west africa a long history of mistrust between hospitals of the public has been made worse by the coronavirus it has recorded more than 12000 coronavirus cases and more than 300 deaths but some families allege that deaths attributed to covert 19 are often not really caused by it did abuse blasi ung reports.

since come around because of much. families have accused doctors of oxygen. is on the active. in the country they help me to. request. cameras medical council which represents. declined to comment on this report. we met harry exactly 2 months the days. he shows us photos of his brother in different hospitals have brought since trying to 17 he was diagnosed with broken pneumonia i returned to cameroon last july after the family was in close physical contact with me yet none of them has contacted the coronavirus abundant because a week that we bury we do this because they know it and of. the money so i feel
3:25 pm
safe not spreads very far because in exhaustive it's like i need my friends to get . these video posted on facebook shows a family attacking a doctor all incumbents like the city. he's accused of forced to declare new patients that have been caused by the coroner virus dramatic scenes like these had to come come on in cumberland says the outbreak christabel was she is a front line doctor at the private hospital in the capital yeah wendy here is just claims made by families. just accusation calm so most of the time because of denial denial of the 1000 i know since most people don't want to believe that they want to family members could have been 19 this is now could be limbs to infect their with a cord of virus they want but don't like you don't get any. another victim of the pandemic has been cultural life upon bulgarian opera company
