wearing a mask and hearing to restrictions is violating that freedom and it seems thousands agree the mixture of conspiracy theorists far right figures and citizens concerned by the economic effects of the law took to the streets of berlin to say the coronavirus has been a false alarm. this is not my 1st just plain scare tactics i don't see any danger i don't know any sick people and in many sick people in march is vacationers there was really something going on in february and now there's no sick people anymore. i've got a friend who is 93 she's in a care home in her room totally isolated there's no corona in our home and yet she wasn't allowed to leave her room now she's allowed to go out for a walk again but if she meets someone she has to give their address i think that's extremely high. demand is back to democracy get rid of the laws that

restrict us to get rid of them are expecting us into slaves. hardly any of the demonstrators were wearing face masks or adhering to social distancing protocols early in police attempted to enforce distancing measures over megaphones eventually dissolving the protest and telling people to go home german politicians mostly condemned the demonstration saying that it risks harming germany's relative success or handling the outbreak. that success might just be why these people feel impatient to get back to normal life but with a fresh spark in covert cases across the country a gathering of thousands of people not wearing masks could jeopardize the freedoms germans are enjoying compared to many other countries hit by the pandemic. are reportedly only on how much time was at that protest. a lot of the people i've

talked to many of them are really just concerned about the coronavirus restrictions being put in place by the german government they're saying well coronavirus numbers we have the situation under control they're not doubting the existence of the virus say we need these measures to end they're worried about their children not being able to go to school they're worried about their parents not being able to see people but this protest has been used by other groups by conspiracy theorists to capitalise on by far right groups have mobilized for this protest. only from how much time in berlin take a look at now some of the other developments in the coronavirus pandemic in australia victoria has announced a state of disaster after a further spike in cases even with lockdown measures in place and nighttime curfew for the capital starts tonight south africa has now surpassed one huffer many and cope with 19 infections a 3rd of the cases are in goa 10 province which includes johannesburg and in the

the center of the storm is too early on sunday. i feel that the public is really panicking. because it's a here again and we're in the middle of a pandemic. because they've been through enough already. complicating people's preparations for this storm but 19 there have been tens of thousands of cases in the suburban area near miami alone. in the state government has been trying to prepare emergency shelters for residents the challenge ensuring that in the back you ation doesn't create even more crime in the cases inside them i think our guidance from the state has been look it's a close call err on the side of people just just hunkering down rather than sending people on the road in the area in the storms pop is already the scene of a quiet tragedy in all over 7000 people have perished in florida from the coronavirus. to now as i.e.s.

threatens to add to the state's suffering. tick tocks general manager for its u.s. market said the company is not planning on going anywhere that's off the u.s. president. donald trump announced he plans to ban the chinese on video because of security concerns u.s. officials are currently looking into whether it's possible to could be used by the chinese government as a tool for gathering intelligence. tech talk with its viral dance routines and political activism videos it's a favorite among teenagers worldwide but with more than $2000000000.00 in loads 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 text talk is a threat to national security there are concerns that the data collected by the app owned by the chinese fire by dance could be accessed by beijing the company denies

any connection with the chinese government but donald trump is threatening to ban the in the us if we're lucky that we may be betting that we may be doing some other things. but a lot of things happening so we'll see what happens but we are looking at a lot of alternatives with respect to. one of those alternatives that spurred by dance to give up its ownership of the potential buyers are reportedly already in talks to take over including tech giant microsoft in the face of presidential threats take us assures that simple answers and audience that this is not the end. we've heard your outpouring of support and we want to say thank you we're not planning on going anywhere the purpose of home creators and others to express themselves their ideas and connect with people across different backgrounds and we

are so proud 1 of all the various communities that call to talk there. it's not clear if the president actually has the executive power to ban the app in the u.s. but a national security review of tech talk is expected to be presented to him. in the coming days. and we spoke to eat afraid the chief technology correspondent for the news platform access in san francisco we asked or even microsoft takeover of talks u.s. operations would put an end to the security concerns the administration has indicated in the last 24 hours that it doesn't solve their concerns i'm not really sure what their concerns are that a deal wouldn't solve but microsoft has apparently and tick-tock have been in talks they thought they had a deal they thought they had a deal that would please the white house with by selling all of its stake perhaps some of its non china investors remaining investors and microsoft taking over which would seem to solve the security issues but that doesn't appear to be enough so

it's unclear what the trumpet ministration once it's unclear what their main issue is if it's a national security issue with microsoft owning it's all that it's really puzzling to be honest and i've covered tech for 20 years i think there's up to 3 concerns that the one that's being voiced is the national concern security concern that data of americans could end up in chinese hands the 2 other things that are at play here that don't get talked about are the broader trade war with china certainly the u.s. and china are at a low when it comes to relations and there's a lot of threats going back and forth about companies and then the 3rd is donald trump at a rally in tulsa and a bunch of popular to talk users managed to get free tickets so that trump campaign thought they had the rally sold out and in fact it was a prank if you will and that may be weighing on the president's mind it may not but that's certainly an issue underneath the covers. and now to some of the other

memorial is located in the heart of the capital a stone's throw from parliament its proximity to the center of political life is symbolic but that proximity has become a problem germany's rail operator is planning a new underground line connecting berlin's main station with potsdamer platz it says to maintain a safe distance from parliament the route must run through the memorial site the city and roma are outraged even if the disruption is only temporary during construction berlin is now looking for a new route that would not endanger the monument. complex task because around the building and in the tear garden there are already tunnels and pipes underground you have to look hard for an alternate route but we are optimistic a solution can be found from representatives of the central council for cindy and roma have been included in the planning process they want more public information about the genocide maybe yes indeed if there is no other option than to run the
