president emmanuel mccall flew to beirut on thursday he was welcomed by lebanese president michel aoun. micron plans to coordinate international assistance but he stressed that reforms are vital to lebanon's future. city trees but it's a political moral economic and financial crisis on the plane the 1st victim of which is the lebanese people in the it requires reactions extremely quickly so for me this visit is also an opportunity for dialogue with political leaders and lebanese institutions the full support it is nice to do. even is. micron's visit comes as the petition to place lebanon under french mandate for 10 years is gathering pace online. all right to shock and anger and they were due to use a better idea 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

a lebanon now 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 i'll much the nice citizens mistrust the political leaders this petition it's kind of to say that 1st of all they get fed up with the sectarian regime woods' current system which led nothing but to cock up sion to a continuous struggle continues to do it political debates that lead to go to a financial and economic collapse top to collapse plus there's all these political fights also. political debates between all political parties based on sectarian issues that's why the disability but he said doesn't say that the old political

parties all political. decision makers they don't trust them they should be put into place by a french by the french who look to sign just to say that they don't trust the current political system. and 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 rebuilding beirut. according to the governor he said he mentioned yesterday that to rebuild the report alone would go to between $45000000000.00 and the effect of that. explosion to get economy. we need between $10.00 to $15000000000.00 a day and still the. progress still 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 death explosion before all that got us off the 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 need to say $50000000000.00 at least thank you for the continued reporting on. the right. well as i know about some of the other stories making news around the world. and we've got some breaking news now for you from the u.s. the state of new york has filed a lawsuit seeking to dissolve the n.r.a. the country's most powerful gun lobby new york state attorney general legit lititz yet james has accused the group's executives of financial mismanagement and ari has not yet responded to the allegations. there's born in poland andre do doubt has

been sworn in for a 2nd term as president after winning a narrow election victory last month today is allied with the ruling law and justice party and his pledge to push ahead with a populist agenda that has put the country at loggerheads with the european union some opposition lawmakers boycotted the swearing him. well here in germany amid signs of a so-called 2nd wave of corn a virus infections authorities are making tests mandatory for travelers arriving from designated high risk areas while this schools begin reopening after summer break and fears that war people on the move are spreading the virus while the country's health minister yes spahn says the tests are essential for public safety . from saturday onwards travelers returning from high risk areas to germany will have to have a valid corona test in their pockets or accept being tested on the ground for free . misstep of

a list stars and i am very aware that this infringes on the freedom of the individual but i believe it is a reasonable infringement this is about more than just an obligation for individuals and the return from holiday. in my view this follows from our duty as a society to look after one another and protect each other. 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 its beaches 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 at 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 the physician on that 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 at schools in kindergartens were closed. at least. from next monday pupils in germany's most populous region north rhine-westphalia will go back to school other states have already started it 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 who 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 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 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 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 week or so we've seen an uptick the robot called institute which is the main medical institute tracking this reported 1045 new cases in the last 24 hours. and so that is a sin lie with numbers in recent days and up around the area where it was last in about may 1 of the reasons i think this is this measure is being taken now is because next week many schools will be opening around germany including in the most populous state north rhine-westphalia so the government's very worried about

a wave of infection being imported boy people coming in from other countries at this time of particular simon young over reporting thank you. the world is marking the 75th anniversary of the u.s. nuclear attack on hiroshima and to pam more than 140000 people died from the bombing and its aftereffects survivors and families of victims late greets he or she most peace memorial park they also remember the moment the bomb hit went 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. and a few survivors are still alive today their stories speak of horrors that the world hopes will never be repeated. jiro hama sumi is. 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 of us. on august 6th 1945 u.s. president harry truman gave the orders to drop an atomic bomb on the japanese port 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. if you hiba are still alive to tell their stories sumi hopes their memories will live on but that his generation will have been the last to endure such horror. and in the wake of the devastating explosions in beirut people in countries near and far have shown their solidarity palestine is crying for beirut reads this sign right here many people in the gaza strip we have lebanese as well as palestinian flags. and even an israel which is technically still in a state of war with its neighbor the lebanese colors were lit up on television city hall. and candlelit vigil was also held outside the section in the paris and the eiffel tower switched off its
