being and here to conspiracy theories facts years and right wing extremists from across the country were among those in attendance it comes as germany braces for a potential 2nd wave of the coronavirus. d w political correspondent lenny vaughn hamish dean is at the protest now and she joins me so lainie the demonstration was called off by the police a short while ago what exactly happened. exactly according to the police and the demonstrations was called off over loudspeakers because complied complaints have been filed against the organizers because as you said just now nobody is here it's too social distancing rules nobody maybe you can see it behind me and is wearing a mask here at the protest even though that that's was a mandatory and but so far i mean we just we can see it maybe in the background behind me people are still streaming towards the end the final points off the

protest there were just people coming by with loud speakers who are saying the focus is far from over yet we will just stop protesting now so so far it is still ongoing that so far as far as we can tell has not done anything to disperse the project actually to sell but. let me can you tell us a little bit more about who exactly these people are took part in the protests. yeah it is quite sort of wireless mics to put it mildly i talked to a lot of people today throughout the day and it really varies from people who are concerned they are concerned about their children their concerns about their parents because they say they are being no need for 16 coronavirus restrictions have been put in place for too long and too so people are concerned about germany descending into listening too much to the government they want to have

a democratic say in these restrictions more and the facts are that we have a couple of conversations with outright baxter's today conspiracy theorists and as you mention it's 5 rights groups and right wing extremist groups like the contact magazine for example we saw them handing out their magazine and they are under observation of the authorities for the average business things in a. magazine that content in the magazine they also among the ones that mobile i sort of sponsored. they asked i put that to some of the demonstrators who were who were peaceful who were willing to talk to me and they said it is unfortunate that the forex demonstrating listen but it is their right to speak up to so and that is what a lot of the counter protests that are happening here across the city and throughout the city i have really calling out there like you you can't you can march with far right extremists and allow them in your ranks and allow and to semitic racist

conspiracy theories messages to be displayed at the protest or. something else we have not heard the last from this particular plane even hamish 9 thank you so much . let's take a look now at some of the other coronavirus related developments at this hour the number of deaths in mexico has surged past 46000 it's now poised to overtake britain as the country with the 3rd highest death toll behind brazil in the u.s. british prime minister boris johnson says he's putting the brakes on easing the lockdown measures and will instead be imposing new restrictions as after new spike in grown a virus infections in the u.k. and in japan the region of okinawa has declared a state of emergency people have been asked to stay home for 2 weeks as the popular tourist destination sees a surge in new cases. well u.s.

president donald trump says he plans to ban the chinese own video app tick-tock because of security concerns u.s. officials are currently looking into the potential for tip top to be used by the chinese government as a tool for gathering intelligence. to talk with its viral dance routines and political activism videos is a favorite among teenagers worldwide. with over $2000000000.00 downloads and $17000000000.00 in revenue last year the app is extremely successful and influential but its exploding popularity has also raised red flags in the u.s. officials are investigating whether tick-tock is a threat to national security there are concerns that the data collected by the app owned by the chinese firm byt dance could be accessed by beijing the company denies any connection with the chinese government but donald trump is threatening to ban

be after in the u.s. . we're looking at a certain we may be betting take off we may be doing some other things are a couple of options but a lot of things are happening so we'll see what happens but we are looking at a lot of alternatives with respect to their. reports. on friday indicated that one of the alternatives being considered is an order for bite dance to give up ownership of tiktaalik potential buyers are reportedly already in talks to take over the apps u.s. operations including tech giant microsoft and national security review of tick-tock is expected to be presented to trump in the coming days its results may further sour already deteriorating ties between the u.s. and china with tensions already running high on trade and the coronavirus pandemic cyber security concerns are now further straining relations between the 2 powers. for more on this let's talk to dr and clear now he's

a senior research fellow at the university of nottingham in the u.k. specializing in social media data ethics in ai regulation and. what's behind the u.s. government's mistrust of tecton. so at the source of this it's basically concerns around where the data is going because ticked off because owned by by which is a chinese company a lot of the data servers are based in china and national security law in china means the government can at any point basically require a chinese company to get access to the data that they hold so that the core the concern is it doesn't really matter whether to talk the company intends to be working with the chinese government the chinese government can compel them to hand over to. so tick-tock is made it very clear that it's not political and wouldn't

pass user data to beijing your response to that would be essentially it doesn't matter what tech doc says. affectively yes it sort of ironic in this is actually that there was a recent ruling in in europe regarding. concerns around facebook holding data on european citizens and the us national security law saying that they can compel access to data of non us citizens that are being held by social media companies so it's very similar to the e.u. has concerns about us social media companies the us having concerns about chinese social media companies everybody has concerns about everybody else the social media companies so in a word you would say this is not just political that there actually is some credence to those. there is some credence to it social media companies collect a lot of data about us it's not just the things that we are seeing are posting on

them it's low key potentially location data it's data about when and how we use our devices and with kicked off being so popular it can be used potentially by people who might be located at sensitive locations or things like that which is why we've seen the us also demanding that people working in government have to delete have to delete the our prime their devices so that social media a lot of our. media services that we use the whole hold quite rich data about us and our such there is concerns about how they are stored whether there is sufficiently encrypted and who can mandate or compel access to that kind of. crooner really appreciate your insights thanks much thanks very much
