to cut through the noise to get to the truth. my name is sarah kelly and i want you to death in. the book . this is due to reduced life from berlin from poster child to growing fears of a 2nd wave of the corner virus hitting germany health authorities bracing for a spike of covert cases express concerns over sharply rising infection numbers they say people are becoming complacent possibly with disastrous consequences also coming up the search for madeleine mccann police police to

a garden in germany the 3 year old vanished from a holiday apartment in portugal back in 2007 a german man currently in prison has been named as a suspect. and malaysia's former prime minister najib result has been found guilty of corruption 7 times over and sentenced to 12 years in jail the former prime minister was found guilty of looting millions of dollars from a state development fund. our way our thank you so much for your company everyone germany is bracing itself for a 2nd wave of the corona virus the country's leading public health institute says new infections have risen sharply in recent days and it's largely blaming negligence among the population for driving the problem. 6 months after germany saw

its 1st krona case many germans healed 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 we have again seen a significant rise in the case in several days. the government warns that didn't you cope with 1000 clusters must be contained to prevent a 2nd wave. if now in the summer through leisure travel behavior we were always a roy's 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 or done 200000 people in germany were confirmed to have coronavirus and more done 9000 lost their lives. polls show germans continue to support the cautious approach of government and i believe that the government has controlled. compared to other countries germany has managed. in face of new outbreaks germany has announced it will introduce mandatory test for travelers returning from high risk countries. all right let's get you more on those health authorities are raising the alarm here in germany did it where you correspondent kate brady is standing by for you kate you are in bavaria in the town of manning where there has been a significant a corner virus outbreak at

a farm how have authorities reacted to that. well what happened here was a quarantine of the farm whether was that outbreak had more than 170 harvest tested positive for 1000 and almost 500 people are still currently behind a fence in quarantine with 24 hour security and in the meantime to test centers have popped up now for locals here more than $3000.00 people here eligible to go have a free test and so that does give you an indication of what we might see down the line in terms of a localized response and just within the last hour the local counsel here behind me has announced that they already in fact have some results from yesterday and of the $318.00 tests that would taken yesterday by locals they already have $308.00 back and all of them proved to be negative so it seems that at least according to the local council they're saying that it paid off to put those almost $500.00 people on

that farm in quarantine so do you think do you foresee that these same similar measures could be replicated elsewhere wherever there is a flare up in the country. i certainly do think that we could see many localized response is of course there are certain issues that can only be dealt with at a federal level and that's something that the health ministry for example is looking into now at the moment in terms of making tests of 1000 test mandatory for people returning from high risk areas so because of germany's federal system that all lots of intricacies we've seen how complicated that can be already earlier on in the pandemic in terms of what lockdown measures were and was in place but it seems that we certainly will expect a very localized response moving forward now obviously authorities are very worried that people have become complacent in germany i mean initially this country was lauded widely for its handling of the pandemic what are they planning on doing to

prevent a 2nd wave from taking place. well one of the big steps that's upcoming as i mentioned was these mandatory over the possibility of having mandatory tests and that would be for travelers returning from high risk areas but in the meantime single states are overseas taking measures into their own hands right down here in the very aware i am they decided today the local cabinet the regional cabinet decided that as of august 7th there will be a voluntary tax available for people traveling back over the border from austria into germany which of course lands you back in bavaria as well there's also several stations at train stations and also airports around germany that are already offering voluntary tests as well so but as i say a lot of this comes down to look a mix of local and federal response but in the meantime it seems at least for now that here in miami locals have avoided the possibility of

a lockdown something that a lot of locals were fearing when i spoke to them earlier today but certainly going forward to that are still measures ready to be pulled triggers to be pulled to put . social distancing small stringent measures back in place compared to similar to what we might have seen a few weeks ago here in germany to these corresponded to brady a reporting from manning of bavaria thank you and the police here in germany are digging up a garden in their investigation into the disappearance of madeleine mccann well they are searching a plot of land near the city of hanover which has been linked to a man who german authorities suspect was involved in her abduction and murder the british toddler was 3 years old when she vanished on a family holiday in portugal 13 years ago the case has never been solved despite attracting global attention let's get you more on this developing story d.w. political correspondent simon young is tracking simon what can you tell us about

the search currently now under way as we speak. well a police haven't really said what they are searching for but as you said they have been at the site an allotment in the city of hanover. white clad white overall crime scene investigators searching the sites are they cleared away some bushes and plants and they've been using a mechanical adiga now what prosecutors have said is this is part of an ongoing murder investigation relating to a 43 year old suspect now 43 year old christian be is a convicted rapist and child abuser who is currently in jail in kiel in the north of germany after he was handed a 7 year prison sentence for raping a 72 year old woman in portugal in 2005 but police

say that they believe he is the man who's responsible for the abduction of madeline mccann they've been building a case against him for some years but only recently they've really put together more evidence and one of the key things linking christian baby to madeleine mccann who german police say they believe is dead. is a telephone call these alleged to have made around the time that she disappeared in 2007 so as i say there are reports that this police could be close to a breakthrough but we really don't know so far what it is that they're below been looking for and what they might have found to be some in your reporting thank you. 9 months after a right wing extremist attack the synagogue in the german city of hala has a new entrance door back in october 29th an art man tried to enter the synagogue where 52 people were celebrating kapoor it was only things to that security door

that a bloodbath was prevented by now the door has been replaced by a new even more secure door the old one will become the central object of a plan memorial the main suspect of the hala attack is on trial in the city of mock timberg charged with the murder and charged with murder rather and attempted murder he killed 2 people and has since confessed to the crime. what to say now about some of the other stories making news around the world. nearly 100 people have been rescued from an inflatable boat off the coast of multi in the mediterranean sea the military went to their aid although some groups have criticized what they call systematic delays in maltese rescue efforts the boat was off the libyan coast when it got into difficulty. australian police have arrested 6 people at an anti-racism march in sydney saying there was a band due to the coronavirus pandemic the protest was led by the family of david

duncan a indigenous man who died after being restrained by prison guards. in vietnam authorities have put the country's 5th biggest city the nag on lockdown after at least 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. lawmakers and family members have been honoring the late us congressman and civil rights pioneer john lewis a ceremony for lewis was held inside the rotunda of the capitol building where he is the 1st african-american congressman to lie in state that was died of cancer earlier this month at 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 for all. they would all john was a person of greatness he also was a person of great humility always giving credit to others in the movement. 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 person who was my are 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 are 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 at the late civil rights icon was played one last time for his fellow room make is. never hey. live in peace. we're 1. 1 people and want to thank you very much. we're going to the world to live

by. the former prime minister of malaysia najib result has been sentenced to 12 years in jail after being found guilty of corruption but he won't be spending any time behind bars yet the judge granted a delay to the sentence it was the 1st of several trials now she 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. a media scrum to see a former leader found guilty. now back will be allowed to remain free on bail while he appeals the verdict and 12 year jail sentence handed down by the court in kuala lumpur he was on trial over corruption charges related to a multi-billion dollar scandal at state development fund one and d b outside malaysia's highest court after the verdict the 67 year old told reporters

he wasn't satisfied with the result and that he would work with his lawyers to launch an appeal. this is. definitely not the end of the world. because that's a process that you. hope that we would be successful that. the fund one malaysia development to give it its full name was founded to finance infrastructure projects put in 2015 evidence of money laundering and saturn merge and in 2018 the government was ousted the court found reject guilty on all 7 charges many malaysians have hailed the guilty verdict. only. if it is the 1st.

this is just the 1st of several trials against her exact. he is jew in court again on august the 3rd. it's the great hope for generating clean power nuclear fusion while today scientists in france start assembling an enormous international fusion reactor known by the acronym eater well it is already taken 10 years and a global scientific effort to get this far and now the main construction at the huge complex in southern france will begin with components sense from all over the world well the idea is to create energy not by splitting atoms like nuclear power stations do now 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 of passing conditions like those found in the sun such as very high temperatures hydrogen atoms will fuse create helium and release a lot of energy the hydrogen could be extracted from seawater making use of practically unlimited resource. is basically the opposite of conventional nuclear. power you're splitting the element not releases energy or you end up with the products afterwards which are required to handle. a train reaction so there's no possibility for it to run away which is what causes. scientists of this starship 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 called a took a mock a huge hollow down house filled with super haas 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's 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. and we're joined now by heart more to it so now one of the german scientists involved in the project's earth so good to have you here on the program professor of the a reactor in france is a giant experiment involving scientists from all over the world what are they hoping to achieve what are you hoping to achieve well what we are hoping to achieve

with each other is for the 1st time to proof of principle to show that we can create on earth net energy gain from nuclear fusion reactions as was said already in nuclear fusion is the power source of the stars and of our sun so you have to create conditions like in the center of the sun so fast is means 100000000 degrees hydrogen gas at 100000000 degrees we can do this already in our present day experiment but we have to invest more energy in heating up the gas to these temperature than we would get out and ito is big enough such that the energy balance would be positive so we should get our 10 times to power that we deposit in the gas in terms of fusion power so net energy gain that is their game for you well that all sounds really really promising there professor nuclear fusion of course has been called the holy grail of clean energy but is it really as safe and green as it is portrayed well there's

a lot of advantages saw one thing it's certainly sustainable in the same steps. nuclei. material which you take as a fuel is due to room and lithium from which you get the cretonne which is another isotope of hydrogen so in principle this is in sea water and you know it's crust it's also distributed well geographically is solid and will not be monaco's source all and then on the other hand it's clean in the sense that there is no emission of greenhouse gases no c o 2 and it's also safe in the sense that there is no chain reaction no melt down off the reactor component os all it does produce like any nuclear energy the structural material will be activated so there is some radioactive waste from this but then again compared to fission this is easier to handle in the sense that times the decay times are much smaller so we think that after about a 100 years you can take the radioactive material and you can actually put hands on

and recycle it use in the next react us so there is no long term storage needed for the wastes and in conclusion when can we expect to receive our energy in powered by nuclear fears at. ok that depends a bit on how badly you needed i would say so if you go like europe we say we will have each other now which is supposed to start approaching 2025 and may be reached is 10 fold energy amplification in 20 or 35 we would then start building a follow up machine which will generate electricity interesting experiment will not generate electricity just net energy gain and saw that would mean by 2050 you would start heating electricity into the net into the grid and then deploy things if you're willing to take more risk in some sense and do parallel development like for example our chinese colleagues are planning a president you would actually go in parallel to each other with

a demonstration reactor and you could actually feed electricity by 2040 for example but that's sort of 2 times thank you so very much the heart would song from the max planck institute thank you there were come. going to turn our attention now to west africa where west african leaders have called for a new in unity government in mali to get the country out of its political crisis opposition leaders though reject the proposal and insist that president abraham keita must resign well the regional bloc a known as eko us has proposed a 4 point plan to resolve mollies political crisis newly appointed ministers are to implement it within 10 days president abraham backer tito was 1st elected in 2013 but is slumping economy and allegations of corruption have triggered mass protests the un the security council has warned that the political crisis could derail

efforts to battle islamised militants who have destabilized the country's northern and central regions. these images bring back painful memories taken on the day their son 1st son died. he had washed himself before prayers he was on his way to the grand mosque when he was hit by the bullets and he died on the spot no one can do anything against the will of god. on friday morning as he was about to leave the house i told him he should stay here because the situation in the city is not good but he insisted that. scenes from the capital bamako repeated demonstrations by the opposition tens of thousands regularly demand the resignation of the government of president he brought in by. the president is blamed by many for molly's poor economic situation for corruption and for the failings in the fight against islam ists and

irregularities in recent elections so far the international community has avoided joining calls for him to step down he's seen as a reliable partner by neighboring countries unlike his rival the mom. the saudi trained religious leader is a hardline salafist his critics call him the ayatollah. but to many molly and the mom is considered more credible than the government. and we're a strong people we won't submit or give in i would rather die a martyr than a traitor the young people who have died have not lost their lives in vain. but a lot of. the deaths occurred on july 10th demonstrators marched through the city barricades were wrecked it and the windows of parliament was smashed at least 14 people were shot dead by security forces among them was his son for son she says

a. stray bullet hit him it was fired by the anti-terrorist units the force that it was from force that and he had done nothing for such as a squad of some 200 police officers trained by the european union so too with these units of the mali an army the e.u. says the training is supposed to prepare for set to fight against terrorists not conduct operations against crowds but critics like amnesty international say the e.u. and foreign partners must take responsibility and stop supporting these government if human rights violations like 1st son's death continue. another victim of the coronavirus pandemic has been cultural life but one bulgarian opera company has found a way to maintain social distancing by performing on a lake on the syfy opera revived its floating stage which was originally used 7

years ago in front of a safely spaced audience they took the music to the water other staging gold part of wagners bring cycle of operas. on the river rhine making this stage and this fish only appropriate wine. now to a financially stretched bundesliga club shelter they have agreed to accept financial aid from their german state of north run westphalia well the amount was not disclosed but schulte the said earlier this month that they would have to take drastic measures in order to survive while the club endured a rueful going to sleep a season finishing 12th and missing out on european football the state finance ministry says shellcode are not being treated any differently to other companies.
