distancing according to police 20000 people took to bell in streets on saturday to protest against current virus restrictions which they say violates their rights and freedoms demonstrators claimed they were more than 1000000 people. journalists and camera crews were also targeted a reporter at german public broadcasters that day have filmed the chance of shame on you and lou compressor alighting press. i. broke. the law here bonded with me there was a really diverse mix of people from the fall left to the far right we met people who were anti faxes we met people who believe bill gates is responsible then there were people who say there is no corona and there are people who say the measures i'm proportionate. because i heard this music carcass nutrition. monday

commentators were left asking can the speech even allowed the debate on how to deal with mass protests during the pandemic is now playing out of federal level. kotick was an idiom criticism must always be possible in democracy in this respect the attitude of the german government has not changed at all but the pitches that we had to see at the weekend are unacceptable. and it's mostly a vote from the beginning that the requirements will not be met or cannot be met then the question arises whether such a gathering can be allowed to become the effect of the protest on the number of new cases is still unclear but the number was already ticking up ahead of the weekend prompting fears that 6 months of efforts to curb private 1000 could go to waste in the blink of an eye. now here it's the 1st day of school for some children in germany malcolm berg west pomerania in the north is the 1st of 16 german states to

restart classes after the summer break but with the penn demick still in full swing schools are having to adapt to a new normal after months of online learning and reduced in person marni germany has vowed to get back or to get students back into classrooms across the country by the end of the summer while many schools will be teaching fewer classes and several states have already announced that students will be able choir to wear face masks. and earlier we talked a deal he's reporter to salter she was at a school in rostock in mecklenburg for palmer in and we asked her how things were going and what students and parents were saying about the situation there well there are mixed feelings really because on the one hand agrees education is important and knocked down his start of 5 months ago so basically over. almost half

a year the students here that didn't come to school didn't have. seen which is coming back now and everyone is welcoming back nevertheless that is what some cool a 2nd wave already around the infections of coronavirus rising in germany meaning there are some well some concerns but i talked to some parents that's have a listen. so view him accommodating seems like we live on our own little planet here i have to admit that i'm not too worried and i'm quite optimistic when it comes to this law and the guidelines that have been developed the measures have been adjusted over and over again and the teachers are doing what they can to implement them so far that has worked quite well so we really have to thank the teachers and the principal they did a great job because i don't know how to some german tourists to have a been accused of misbehaving ignoring corner virus regulations and angering locals

in spain while last month the authorities on the spanish island of new york are shut down entire beach areas after it was discovered that german tourists were throwing illegal parties there and videos of the germans partying on ball gary is golden sands resort without wearing any face mask or any social distancing has also sparked outrage show we wanted to know if anyone had learnt their lesson and so we had it to these destinations. tourists and party mood having fun at beaucaire is sent to break said golden sands in defiance of the coronavirus singh house he is also from germany he's happy performing here. the white house today we've moved the stage outside so it's completely outdoors before it was only half in the open always circulated freely but it's

a lot better now there's so much more space but i got my coffee from bob at the entrance friends have their temperature taken and a given hand sanitizer there are warning signs up everywhere. that is we don't want anyone to get infected with a virus. that would really hurt everybody really. golden sands bar owners say they're trying to maintain safety measures it's difficult to enforce social distancing when people are drinking alcohol and the owners can't stop the parties altogether without wrecking their own business. we're doing all we can to keep people safe but they have to take responsibility for themselves as well. and many party goers agree with that. once you get in there's

a lot less distancing it's up to everyone to stick to the rules it's the same for us we think it's ok to come here in the evening. many golden sands hotels have decided not to open a summer does that have around a 3rd full and is staying here with her mother and 2 children she booked in january and considered cancelling but decided in the end to go ahead. to starfall where face coverings. he can maintain distancing from other people the tables are spaced well apart and it's the same on the beach i do feel safe here. but it's still a big challenge for the hotel's managers as it would only those if everything is very different this year we are completely really learning how we operate as a tourist destination with all the precautions we have to take to keep our stuff

and visitors safe. the hotels are doing their best to offer safe holidays despite the pandemic and trying also to save the industry. and some economic news now for you the german institute for economic research has examined the distribution of wealth and found that the richest people far more of the nation's assets than previously thought findings that suggest a growing gulf between the haves and the have nots in germany. hamburg one of germany's richest cities around 42000 millionaires live here and their numbers keep rising but how much do the richest germans really have a new report provides some answers the figures are explosive the richest one percent of germans own 35.3 percent of the wealth and the richer half of the population owns 98.6 percent that leaves 1.4 percent for all the rest.

this inequality has economic and social consequences the authors of the study are cautious in their assessment. as a different title as from readings this interview should have wealth at least for me as an economist this has 2 aspects the 1st is the efficiency aspect where you ask yourself ok so is the economy working the way it should. wealth concentration wouldn't matter as much if the wealth was in the hands of the most capable entrepreneur. but of course there are also the political and moral aspects is it fairly shared photo i don't. that's an issue he said bush has been stressing for years the granddaughter and heiress of german industrial magnate robert bosch is committed to redistributing wealth that sets her apart from others in her wealth bracket. i'm worried about democracy.

we know that confidence in democracy is declining. if people's assumption is confirmed that elites are entrenched and super rich then for many it won't make voting easier and it will give the wrong parties a boost. this study now confirms germany has one of the widest wealth gaps in europe. internets and in the international context we see that germany is a country with high wealth inequality this is similar to the us but also similar to other countries with strong welfare states where the pension system is strong and where protection during one's working life is also strong. because of this protection people don't have to save as much private wealth as for.

for ease of bosch wealth means responsibility she finances many foundations and she wants to make wealthy people pay more taxes. get seemed young now we see these rich people they're here we have a clearer picture of them it's time to roll up our sleeves and change things. he's a boss has a clear stance on germany's wealth concentration this report could spark a big debate on the subject. they're watching the daily news still to come a new bridge in genoa it replaces the when it collapsed 2 years ago after round the clock effort because of bound to be inoculated 1st though i want to turn now to nicaragua where the pandemic is making it even more difficult for some of the country's poorest people to make ends meet the situation is particularly hard for the nation's migrant workers when they used to cross the border daily to work on farms in neighboring costa rica but with the border now closed they're being forced
