4:04 pm
reactions extremely quickly so for me this visit is also an opportunity for the brand dialogue with political leaders and lebanese institutions the full support it is nice to. even is. micron's visit comes as a petition to place lebanon under french mandate for 10 years it's gathering pace online. all right to shock and anger and they were due to use a better than he is in the lebanese the capital for you so i want to pick up where that report left off that online petition the mention there to replace 11 on the under french men mandate rather how syria should we take that or should we rather consider this a sign of how deep the mistrust is of the people of lebanon on their government exactly. exactly this is a sign how much the nice citizens mistrust their political leaders this petition
4:05 pm
it's kind of to say that 1st of all they get fed up with the security and regime woods current system which lead nothing but to court option to a continuous struggle continues its political debates that lead to go to a financial and economic collapse top that collapse plus there's all these political fights also. political debates between all political parties based on security and issues that's why the disability money citizen said that the old political parties all political. decision makers they don't like them they should be put into place by if matched by the french who look to sign just to say that they don't trust all the current political system. and that this is us talk now about there is this major effort underway now in the international community rallying to help the people of lebanon we just of course saw the french for president who is in beirut to where you are you know well the cost being of
4:06 pm
rebuilding beirut. according to the governor he said he mentioned yesterday that to rebuild the report alone which goes between $45000000000.00 and the effect of that less explosion. economy. needs between $10.00 to $15000000000.00 a day and still the. progress that we don't have exact. numbers for how much these damages we coast but it seems that it would cost at least a tent which is $15000000000.00 before before that explosion before all that got us off the you don't need to economy according to the financial to the banking sector that lebanon need between $20.00 to $25000000000.00 to the company so now we have to do one or 10 or $15000000000.00 so in total it seems that lebanon to say
4:07 pm
$50000000000.00 at least. amount so that we're talking about now 2 days after the catastrophic explosion how are people being kept said and shelton are people able to salvage anything and their belongings. i don't know this moment one of the detention area which was detected by because interest doesn't it they're trying to move whole plush data damage daughterly. name to mazie area the artwork was completely destroyed damaged most of the houses it's it's just an old house that they are totally damaged so they are moving the residents the citizen from that area to other places to do it or electives other places someday manage themselves to go to their relatives or if they have some of the houses in countryside they went to and some others are going to be hopeless and if not all of these families and said that the utmost what company of course what
4:08 pm
a treat and some others they they said that going to remain in their homes even if he's got going to collapse over their heads they going to remain in their homes they want to leave it and they won't give this chance to the political leaders according to some citizens they want it's just too politically just to displace them once again. mention that you mentioned that during the civil war which was between 19751900 most of it was displaced because of a swath fighting area between you don't use fighters and you've been nice but if you can parties and he should of course and conclusion the best so of course as. when the dust settles no pun intended do people believe that their government can and will deliver an independent investigation and hold people accountable. not at all and that's why some of them may be the petitions bottle of that they're asking
4:09 pm
for an international investigation they don't trust the current government or the form of government or any of the political leaders they said that they have because due to their history in the investigation i mean that you would need all saudis they misled all of that investigation for example none of the tons of corruption. in the court and there's corruption none of these any of these 5 of these cases while we go one the court opted for since they are free and there was always anonymous. anonymous kohls autonomous persons that's what they said that you had under the secretary an umbrella under the current sectarian political umbrella none of these got up to will go into court. and i know too i'm so sorry i'm testing this i'm going to leave it there. i didn't think it very much for your continued courage thank you thank you. one
4:10 pm
couple getting married in beirut had a narrow escape from those devastating blast the couple check this out was posing for a video and photographs near their wedding venue when the blast struck check this out. now the shock wave caused extensive damage in the surrounding streets and nearby i swear but then fully we can report the newlyweds were injured and were able to take shelter in safety. in the wrists i'm not all the very best ones i know about some of the other stories making news around the world. the australian state of victoria has reported a record rise in covert 1000 cases and deaths even after imposing a strict new law downstate premier daniel andrews urged people to stick together and not to panic by you know so that meat production would be reduced due to the risk of virus transmission in processing plants. through twitter says
4:11 pm
it has temporarily blocked president donald trump's official campaign account because of a tweet containing misinformation about covert 19 the misinformation was a claim that children are almost immune to the virus trumps campaign appears now to have removed the tweet. germany is bringing in mandatory coronavirus tests for people arriving from high risk areas the move is in response to rising numbers of infectious health minister young on the says the tests are essential for public safety. from saturday on woods travel as returning from high risk areas to germany will have to have a valid corona test in the pockets or accept being tested on the ground for free. misstep of list. i am very aware that this infringes on the freedom of the individual but i believe it is
4:12 pm
a reasonable infringement this is about more than just an obligation for individuals who return from holiday in my view this follows from our duty as a society to look after one another and protect each other so should. the list of high risk areas is updated regularly most countries around the world are on the list in the e.u. the spanish region of catalonia and speeches as well as luxembourg are considered high risk by germany. but the belgian region of antwerp was recently also put on the list because of rising infections that. german authorities are worried about the virus being brought back to germany but there's also a real risk of people becoming negligent and spreading the virus of home according to the minister. on wednesday germany recorded more than a 1000 daily new infections the highest number in 3 months the new rules come in school holidays draw to an end in many german regions concept of physician on that
4:13 pm
aspect think the concepts are convincing convincing because they follow the goal of opening schools and congrats again that has definitely been one of the biggest challenges of the last months for many in germany parents and children alike that schools in kindergartens were closed. least. from next monday pupils in germany's most populous region north rhine-westphalia will go back to school other states have already started this will be yet another test for just how effective germany's anti corona measures really are. all let's get you more on this latest new were a measure that's taken by this country you did a report of course on some young is tracking this story for you may and a tory tests on arrival tell us more about that. well yeah this is in addition to the existing range been a requirement on people coming from these 140 or so countries that are perceived as
4:14 pm
being particularly affected by coronavirus people coming from they're already required to go into quarantine for 14 days or produce a negative corona test and now this has been sort of beefed up with a requirement to actually have the test immediately upon arrival in germany or to have it in a few days of arrival and again to produce that negative test that maybe some opposition to it we've seen significant demonstrations against the government's corona and he corona measures but i think one thing to say is this test will be free of charge so that should help some people to decide that they're ready to have the test 7 as you have mentioned and as we've been reporting unfortunately there has been an uptick in the coronavirus cases in germany is this country a victim of its early success it managed to control the outbreak quite successfully
4:15 pm
at the beginning but now it seems to be losing ground what's behind that. well obviously if you if you've had success then the numbers as it were can only go up you're right in the last could be turning out millions of doses a month by next year but the world health organization cautions it has received no official notification and some scientists are warning that russia lacks the capacity to mass produce a vaccine. to the streets of moscow 5 days ago 16000 people running the half marathon many without masks and without keeping their distance the city has opened up again many here seem to trust that a new vaccine will soon be available to everyone with the hope of goodness which of course i've heard of last week and i think that's a very positive development i should vaccinated. this is where the 2 new vaccines were developed at the moscow game alay institute and the vector institute in
4:16 pm
a visit built both state run the vaccination program is supposed to start as early as october at a video conference with president bloody mapuche in a few days ago the deputy prime minister made this announcement they wish both vaccines the highly promising one is to be approved already in august and that was lead with just skimmed center. but both vaccines were only tested on less than $100.00 volunteers the important phase 3 of the testing will only be done with a few 100 people. there yet this is highly irresponsible he has already researched many vaccines at the research institute. so that work through more than you do it's possible to develop a vaccine within one week one month or half a year as it is the case now but it's impossible to prove in this timeframe that it's going to be harmless or planned. russia plans to produce
4:17 pm
$30000000.00 vaccine doses for the end of the year another $170000000.00 a supposed to be manufactured and brought. russia wants to be the 1st country to introduce a vaccine to the world market possible risks one stand in its way critics say. but of. course that's just delicious is being used right now in the something completely new look at the when the judges that are being done with this if you will we don't know how they're going to act with them but it has nothing to do with what i do we also don't know how long the immunity will last us for going forward to. moscow is returning to normal life and that is partly due to a possibly false sense of security that the promise of a vaccine this brings. us. the world is marking the 75th anniversary of the u.s. nuclear attack on here she might in japan more than 140000 people died from the bombing and its after effects survivors and families of victims leave rates here she must
4:18 pm
peace memorial park they also remember the moments the bomb hits with a bell followed by a minute of silence the ceremonies were scaled back because of the global health emergency only a handful of foreign dignitaries attended. a few survivors are still alive today their stories speak of horrors that the world hopes will never be repeated. jiro how masoom e is a heap of who shot in japanese that means survivor of the bomb. he was exposed to radiation in his mother's womb as she walked around ground 0 in hiroshima looking for his father. but his father had been killed. if we don't speak the bombing will be forgotten as if it had never happened that's why we must keep the history and people's testimonies on record with us. on august 6th 1945 u.s. president harry truman gave the orders to drop an atomic bomb on the japanese port
4:19 pm
city of hiroshima. the blast and shock wave instantly killed tens of thousands of people tens of thousands more died from strange new diseases caused by radiation. 3 days later the u.s. dropped a 2nd bomb on the city of nagasaki. truman succeeded in winning a decisive victory over japan and an end to the 2nd world war. but not a painless one the white house and the us military were well aware that their celebrations came at the cost of over 100000 civilian lives here oshima bombing remains to this day the deadliest single act ever perpetrated by humans you know. few here are still alive to tell their stories how much sumi hopes their memories will live on but that his generation will have been the last to endure such horror . the effects of global warming are becoming alarmingly clear at the top and bottom
4:20 pm
of the world the poles are melting well scientists say the arctic has been warming up for years evening out the differences in temperature between the north pole and the equator the result is an increase in the number of extreme weather events. he's still wearing a woolly hat but it's no longer really necessary the ice in spitsbergen is melting it's a problem that no ways most famous poet of research i came home and has long been warning of we are losing the arctic as we know it because of climate change and. this is a forewarn news of all the hardship and problems start to spread around the planet . as the grand melts it gives up its secrets here a mammoth skeleton pulled from the mud in russia's arctic after 10000 years in the permafrost rising temperatures here are delivering riches to some researches.
4:21 pm
of those sit ups in the not a complete skeleton is always a valuable find because the individual bone fragments basically don't hold any information here we know the exact location of the origins of the mammoth and that is one specimen. of. the arctic touches russia canada the us and greenland but its demise well affects the whole world optic temperatures are rising faster than in the rest of the world particularly in the last few years. as the differences in temperature between the poles and the equator reduced the jet stream winds which move weather around the globe a sewing dying. the result extreme weather high and low pressure systems remain at the same spot for longer creating floods and it's 12 degrees in spitsbergen might look relaxing but it's 7 degrees warmer than usual and that
4:22 pm
spells disaster. well let's talk now attila mark apparent on the senior scientist in the copernicus of atmosphere monitoring service and reading your case or with a very warm welcome so why does that spell disaster what will a significant warming of the poles really look like frost more droughts and storms i think what we've been seeing so far in the last couple is this especially in terms of wildfires is well known in dry conditions giving. rise to ideal fire conditions and this is a consequence of maybe drought conditions but in general. in terms of fire is producing a white area of very active fires which then for a long period of time. and is it too late to stop this warming. is difficult to say i mean there are still steps that we can take to try to to
4:23 pm
mitigate global climate change as you pointed out climate change in the polls is much faster than the risk on the global average and so. maybe we ask so too what's we can do to try to mitigate the climate change in in the polar regions and how can we do that well i think less international travel i think the current crisis and change in emissions maybe shows as a way in which emissions come to. light but is that sustainable i mean yes we're going through a pandemic now and that's why these measures have been introduced but in the long term is that really sustainable are there other ways that we could help mitigate the harmful effects of global warming. it's difficult to say i mean the work that we do in the clinic some say munching service is really the cannot wildfire activity and changes in equity and we don't really deal with climate change states
4:24 pm
