this could be just a way to sort of like pass testified the protesters and to distract their attention and also today we're having today and tomorrow there are massive protests scheduled and it is just possible that the authorities simply decided to free the those detention centers to be able to get more people in the coming days and you yourself have left bella ruse is that right. because of the security some made here i did because there were certain some security concerns not only for myself but i've seen what was happening to both television experts and some elevation and foreign journalists who were virtually detained somewhere if they were foreigners they were ordered from the country and they were very disturbing news from some of

and for a narrow he took his money the 75th anniversary of the end of world war 2 expressing deep remorse for the country's role in the conflict has been found emperor hirohito left lead to pan in its fight against an ally for students. indian prime minister narendra modi has marked his country's independence day at a military parade which was severely curtailed because of the coronavirus pandemic in a speech to the nation modi laid out ambitious goals including a digital health id and a promise of heights high speed internet in a village is within 3 years. when the number of coronavirus cases on the rise across europe some cross border travel restrictions are being re-introduced germany has now declared most of spain a high risk region i mean the canary islands are excluded tourist returning from the rest of spain will have to be tested for covert 19 or go into quarantine the travel warning is expected to have

a severe effect on destinations such as the island of my old. male and island of silence this was the island in the middle of june when german tourists largely began arriving again off to look down but it may well start to look this quiet again soon now that germany has issued a travel warning for the bill erik islands jens schmidt runs a small her tellin my oka it is many rooms a large garden and now big worries. today we received 3 cancellations because people are insecure will cannot afford to go into quarantine when they come back from my yoko or the blair garlands there is simply a great deal of planning uncertainty. in the course of planning to enjoy it it's prudent to travel warning was announced after surgeon coronavirus cases across spain many here expected it but others will hopeful they've been forthright talking here like came here 2 days ago and realized that i am safe

a heathen in berlin or in brandenburg or on the baltic sea where there are a lot more tourists. it's you seem like though we don't know whether we will go home again all when we will go home and what impact this travel warning will have previously $5000000.00 germans came to the island each year many are now likely to cancel their travel plans the current warning applies to all of spain except canary islands. to put it loosely you could say turn off the lights lower the shadows will close the country. loses feel it's very difficult for everyone because the polarity islands rely on tourists on the one hand there are the hotels in the retail trade where tourists go shopping restaurants bars hobbs' discos actually every business is affected you're live so you can move to this 2nd wave of the corona virus came faster than many expected and soon it will be quiet again on my oka. now i'm joined by david d. w. correspondent philip shelves in spain philip spain seems to be losing its grip on

the virus after making such progress initially why are infections spiraling in so many regions. yes indeed for a long time it looked like spain had everything under control. from my point of view the trouble slowly started to return when the so-called state of alarm came to an end in mid june during the state off alarms everything was centralized and budgets and very strict measures were taken to the edge of the state of alarm now the responsibility spec with regional governments and their performance differs from region to region very interesting the especially the big cities of barcelona and. they. perform very badly and one of the biggest problems at the moment is that in the local offices

a lot of people completely overwhelmed with the job of tracing infection change steps one of the biggest problems at the moment and of course a lot of international tourists that come here to party again also doesn't help the situation and we know how important that tracking. down to this is clearly going to seriously impact the ever important tourism industry then what did these restrictions maine for the many in spain here rely on tourism for their livelihoods . i think a lot of people have already expected something like this. but nevertheless of course it's a disaster for the spanish tonally and especially for the 3000000 people that are employed in the jury's sector i talked to a representative of the hotel association recently and he said that eats backs that's one 3rd of all hotels. in the spain one survived the crisis and this was

before the measurement of germany was announced so catastrophic oh it looks especially in the coming months we will see really a lot of more unemployment. terrible situation while thanking young for themselves speaking to us from. thank you. here in berlin designs have been unveiled to the new exile museum to make spice will honor those who fled the nazi regime and serve as a reminder that people are still being forced from their homes today an international competition was held to pick the design to be built on the side of a destroyed trying station the winner has been announced the danish architecture studio door to mundra convinced the international judges that their vision for the new exile museum was the most appealing the building in the middle of berlin is meant to house the stories of those forced to abandon their homes for 10 years now

nobel laureate care to miller has been campaigning to establish this museum does this project reminds us of our own history and will fill a gap in germany's culture of remembrance. after the holocaust which is the most horrible thing comes the exile which is the 2nd most horrible thing. and we need to remind people that these 2 events are connected and must be commemorated. over 500000 people fled germany during the nazi regime. they left for an unknown future because their lives were in peril jews dissidents and others considered undesirable. author on a sakers nobel peace prize winner thomas mann. the list of exiles is long. it is a saga of fates that have been scattered throughout the world sometimes these weren't

just saved but these people also became the nucleus of a culture transfer of unbelievable magnitude. these weren't just any old people who left the country the ones who left were intellectuals democratic liberals scientists artists you could say they were the elite of the weimar republic. and escape. the new museum will focus on those who fled during the nazi regime but there are parallels today 65000000 people are refugees right now fleeing all over the world living with the feeling of being outsiders homesick for where they came from. the history of the exiles of the past is very modern and of course those in exile today see their face mirrored in the past we want to show how the past and present are intertwined. the museum will be a multimedia center directly behind the ruins of berlin's former central train station the location is in symbolism

a place where people said their goodbyes for more than 60 years it has lain idle. the location is eternally tied to the concept of exile there were thousands of people. who touched german soil here for the very last time there's really no other location that can embody the exile of the german spirit as well as this one. important location of remembrance the museum is scheduled to open 5 years from now . attending some sport now and by in munich for to the semifinals of the champions league after defeating barcelona to 2 thomas miller scored 2 of the goals of his team became the 2nd german squad to advance to the champions tam tams legs samis alongside leipsic i have already won the bundesliga and the german cup this season and i'm hoping to climb all 3 major trophies next take home the winner of
