ends it. malaria must go on so millions can live. this is g.w. news why from berlin tonight in germany there are growing fears of a 2nd wave of the coronavirus health authorities say they are worried over soaring new infection numbers they say people are letting down their guard and that the consequences could be deadly also coming up tonight in the garden the search for the british girl madeleine mccann leads police to

a garden here in germany the 3 year old vanished on vacation in portugal 13 years ago and americans lining up to bid farewell from a distance to the late congressman john lewis personal tributes to the civil rights leader also from vice president mike pence well president trump stays away and a big step towards the ultimate clean energy its nuclear fusion and it needs a reactor that is now being built in france. i'm off to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome tonight to germany is the bracing for what could be a 2nd wave of the corona virus the country's leading public health institute says

new infections have soared in recent days the institute blaming negligence among the population for driving the surge in new infections. at least $58.00 people have tested positive for kobe in $1000.00 after attending a funeral service at this mosque in southwest germany among them at least 12 children leaving this school to test an entire grade and a daycare center to shut down corona cases are searching again here in germany the head of the overcall institute for infectious diseases want that germans have become neck legit and you know it's not the latest results show that the population has become less concerned about the risk of covert 19 and not the public's acceptance of health and safety measures such as social distancing and mask has deteriorated i would like to be very clear how this situation develops is very much in our hands smoky some cost. it seems like this that have health experts sounding the alarm people in hamburg's famous red light district openly

flouting social distancing rules officials have responded by introducing a temporary alcohol ban in parts of the city germany was one of the 1st european countries to return to something resembling normalcy but officials warn that the continued carelessness of a few puts those heart one freedoms at risk. i've told my interior minister if the numbers keep searching we have to re-impose tight restrictions. by the insurgents you'll have to make people understand that this virus is not playing around us this summer holidays have added to health officials says popular travel destinations like spain are seen used bikes as well raising the question of whether germany will have to re close its borders if every conferee was in the european union is taking responsibility i guess we can award it so if you have local hotspots. i guess we have to fight against those local hotspots and not too close

bought us for now testing has been ramped up in germany airports in the hope that the freedom to travel won't turn into a 1st class ticket for co that to wreak further havoc on the country. and for more now i'm joined by margaret here's margaret is with the world health organisation it's good to see you again margaret we know that germany has earned a lot of praise for its handling of the coronavirus crisis is germany about to throw that all the way. i think what's going on is that people really didn't understand that when lock downs were this didn't mean you're out of school it's over we ringback even don't even refer to 1st 2nd waves because the fact is the fires has always been with us it's it's come down but it hasn't come gone rolling out to sea it's always been there and it's been waiting for the

opportunities we presented it when we read we did what we do most of us we forgot the message the very important message that this is a near noble this 1st loves the way we love to be together so this year we have to function differently function differently talk of imposing local lockdowns here in germany instead of a national walk to also going to be mandatory chess for travelers returning from high risk regions in is this the right strategy well this shows how far we've come so right at the beginning many many countries didn't have the tests didn't have the tracing didn't have the ability to really get it on with the viruses now we've got a lot better at tracking it we've got much better testing for it people understand the need for a test and local authorities understand that if they can find everybody who's got it if they can isolate those people and they can break those chains of transmission

then they can get the virus out of the communities who want to vist social distancing fatigue that we hear about as you said humans want to be together in the virus thrives on that how wang can we expect people to keep their distance from each other. oh until we've got this virus out of our communities and we really have to understand that we have to resist the urge to be physically together if you're going to be physically. be physically together with somebody you know there's essentially the. status you know so this is quite difficult. especially if you're young you know it's 8 people are looking for new contacts new people that they would like to get to know but we really. use who are the most innovative who are the people who are the leaders of tomorrow to really be the leaders of today and show us

a way to live safely this year you said that we can't really talk about waves because the viruses never left but when you compare what we're seeing here in europe with brazil or the united states for example i mean those are 2 very different picture. indeed they are and in those countries you're seeing intense excel aeration but even so if we looked at the usa where we're really looking at a club that's the size of europe and they have had their large outbreaks in one area like new york and now they're having very large outbreaks in other areas so they are seeing the virus move from different parts of the country having to into different communities so you couldn't really compare a country like the united states with specific countries in europe likewise brazil is different and again that's why i keep on saying we don't really talk about waves because if you look at all the curves on the picture on a piece they're all different that's very good point margaret harris with the world

health organization is always good to talk with you thank you and you barry. coronavirus cases have also been rebounding in spain and that's prompted germany to issue warnings against traveling to regional hotspots including the city of barcelona now that's a blood to the city's tourism industry which was hoping to salvage some of the summer business. the trip to one of spain's sandy beaches much sought after a spite for many europeans after difficult months in lockdown also a breath of fresh air for the spanish tourism sector and the economy at large but spain's growing corona virus infections are throwing a wrench into the works the number of new cases has increased steadily over the last few weeks with most new infections located in the north eastern regions of

catalonia and eragon the rise in cases has some european countries worried france and germany advised their citizens not to visit the most affected regions the u.k. went to step further introducing a 14 day quarantine for all people returning from the whole of spain the measure has many in the spanish service sector worried and has irritated the government. going to the mosque i believe the decisions taken by the united kingdom are inappropriate because there are many areas in our country where the average number of infections is lower not only than the european average more than the spanish average but also in the average of the united kingdom. and i mean the going on in. the mood of foreign tourists appears to echo the words of pedro sanchez they feel safe in spain. a friend of mine i think said it's fine for people

to come here we shouldn't stay at home because of coded always apply for all of the more people died in england this week than anywhere else is group of belief and we were truthful to try to get. up to make. sure that you could not was it just say for so to speak. to you today that. measures. being taken to make the country feel even safer on tuesday in madrid made mass mandatory in all indoor and outdoor spaces the last mainland region in spain to do so the hope is that the stricter measures will be enough to stop a 2nd wave of coronavirus and its tracks. of police here in germany's saying their search for a missing british girl has led them to a garden plot madeline mccann was 3 years old when she vanished on

a family vacation in portugal 13 years ago despite attracting global attention the case has never been small. a 13 year trail has brought them here a garden in hanover germany. investigators may be breaking ground after over a decade of dead ends as they search for madeleine mccann. the prime suspect in her case a 43 year old german man is already in prison serving time for a separate crime. the search for mccann began in 2007 at this holiday resort in the algarve and portugal the 3 year old girl disappeared from her bed while her parents were eating dinner at a nearby restaurant. the mccann's spent years publicizing the case urging authorities to keep looking hoping to find their daughter alive. finally in june a glint of hope investigators announced a suspect

a german man who was in the algarve when mccann disappeared german authorities however said they were no longer and vesta getting madeleine mccann's disappearance as a missing person case but as a murder. the persistence of her parents is uncommon so are the resources both private and public that have been poured into this case investigators hope they are finally writing the last chapter of this unhappy story. well the w. simon young is following the story force the police haven't really said what they are searching for but as you said they have been at this site an allotment in the city of hanover. white clad white overall crime scene investigators searching the sites where they cleared away some bushies 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 bay 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. that was simon young there reporting 9 months after a right wing extremist attack at the synagogue in the german city of hala has a new entrance door now back in october 2019 an armed man tried to get inside the synagogue where 52 people were celebrating young kapoor it was only things to the security door that a bloodbath was prevented where now that entrance has been replaced by a new one a new even more secured the old will become the central object that they planned but morial the main suspect of the attack is on trial in the city of mounted board charged with murder and attempted murder he killed 2 people and has since confess to the crowd. in the u.s. capitol washington d.c. members of the public as well as political and civic leaders are paying their

respects to civil rights hero in long time congressman john lewis thousands of mourners queued up at the u.s. capitol today to view the flag draped casket carefully spaced for social distancing because of the coronavirus pandemic us president donald trump was not in attendance today and civil rights leader john lewis died earlier this month at the age of 80. 1 john lewis in the fight against racism in the united states to talk about that i want to bring in writer and activist margaret kimberley from new york she has a new book out entitled presidential a history of u.s. presidents and white supremacy in america margaret it's good to see you again what will be john lewis his legacy. well the most important part of his legacy is the work of his youth when as

a very young man he was among those who were called the freedom riders who did something we take for granted now but they literally risked their lives in trying to integrate public accommodation in those case it was public buses hence the name freedom riders but they were attacked the buses were burned people were assaulted including john lewis but he and a. group of committed people helped work together to change the country and to change it for for the good and to change it for for all climb and that movement led to many other positive changes in american society and let's take that movement and bring it to present day the black lives matter movement there is some criticism of john lewis within the movement isn't it. well yes the criticism is he spent the last 30 years as a member of congress as

a politician and while as a very young man still in his early twenty's he was among those who addressed the crowd at the mouth march on washington where king gave his famous i have a dream speech he was the leader of the student nonviolent coordinating committee but as middle aged in his later years he was a politician and radical leaders don't remain radical when they become politicians he was part of the democratic party establishment his days as someone who really changed the country we're far behind him and it's ok for people to become politicians but we can't see people as frozen in time we give credit where it's due but we also acknowledge the limitations of what

he did later in his life i want you to take a listen to what that politician congressman lewis said 24 years ago when he was one of the few members of congress to vote against the defense of marriage act and that act gave states the right to deny recognition of same sex marriage take a listen to what he said this be human if it's not in the face of the declaration of independence it denies gay men and women the right to liberty and to put food out happen if marriage give it benefit human right you cannot tell people they cannot fight imo. now there we have john lewis a man ahead of his time and he wanted to extend basic human rights to everyone not only to those who were victims of racial discrimination isn't that a good achievement for a politician as you would say. oh yes absolutely that was very

proud moment for him and that's when we should remember he did have throughout the years he did have those flashes of the we saw indications of that. very committed young man that idealistic young man 2030 when we 1st heard the name edward snowden and the secrets he revealed louis praised him one day as a someone who had acted on what his conscience directed him to do but a day later he as he said clarified the statement and said i wasn't praising him i think he hurt the country i don't know if you got a call from the obama white house i don't know what happened but i think we can see there the contradictions of people who are idealistic and want change but then work within the system the system doesn't tolerate change very well so we can give

credit for what he did and we have to but we have to think about that now and we think of the civil rights movement we have to think about why it succeeded it's the exceeded think about people like louis and dozens of others whose names we don't know and bring it forward to this time and martin i think about how to see to it and what we need now in the current the current movement yet before before we run out of time is there someone a name in politics in the u.s. right now in power who can maybe pick you know pick up the the torch from john the . no one is a politician but there are people there are activists across the country we do need more organizing that's something that's missing today that john lewis and others excelled in back in the early 1960 s. there were committed groups of people in organizations like the student nonviolent

coordinating committee like the southern christian leadership conference and they succeeded in passing legislation they succeeded in changing the country because they were well organized that is something that is lacking in the movement now and it's somewhat problematic but we will see what happens all right margaret kimberly as always margaret it's good to talk with you we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you thank you very much. here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world in pakistan heavy floods inundating kharaj have killed at least 5 people. or been flooding on poorly designed developments clogged drainage systems and climate change which is affecting monsoon season pass. new zealand's foreign minister says his country has suspended its extradition treaty with hong kong and will treat this city like mainland china on

been trying to tap into the power the tripes the sun nuclear fusion the hope is that it can be used to meet tomorrow's energy demands the basic science of thought in conditions like those find in the sun such as very high temperatures hundreds an awesome swell fuse creates helium and really some out of energy the hydrogen could be extracted from seawater making use of practically unlimited resource. is basically the opposite of conventional nuclear. you're splitting the element and it releases energy or you end up with the products afterwards which may be quite how to handle it is not 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 2 1 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 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 a tokamak a huge hollow donuts filled with super hoss hydrogen plasma that flows through. 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. amazing they're able gary an opera company has found a way to maintain social distancing and stay in business by performing on
