virus estimated 20000 people turned out and many say this port. they came from all over germany to express their anger at the government's measures to tackle the coroner virus pandemic for many the measures go too far because they believe there is no will then share. the puzzle in this very severely i don't believe that as a pandemic i do seeing the disease exists but i do not think it's a pandemic that the lead there fit with the un for according to the new definition of pandemic a t's indeed a pandemic but while it has yet to spread from then on it has nothing to do with the danger posed. many among the crowd refute any affiliation to defy a right but a protests are supported by both conspiracy theories and right we need something usually gives it will give and a number of nationally splog chance and slogans. blasted. yes there are some german imperio flags but they're not forbidden this is just like

the confederate flag in the us which isn't forbidden either even though it is no from the pan and well this is a discussion doesn't the sicily have to take place now. because of that if you are in one of the conditions set by authorities to allow today's protest was that if demonstrators weren't wearing masks they should respect social distancing rules as most of those attending this so-called anti car and i really didn't comply with either of those rules to believe in police moved in to disband a protest early in the afternoon. or on the streets of central berlin that's where we find correspondent thomas sparrow 2 thomas the situation has been in flux since the initial gathering of protesters what's happening where you are now. it has indeed been in flux and the protests began earlier today now we are hearing behind us some of the speeches there were indeed allowed after the protest and in fact some of the people who have been speaking behind us have been mentioning that one

element that they want is for the government to change or at least to abolish the laws that have been put in place to fight the coronavirus pandemic some people also asking the german government to resign we've also been hearing from plenty of people here that they want more freedoms and more rights and they feel that some of those freedoms and those rights are being restricted by the government this is a very mixed bag of people here and in fact where we were previously we also saw that we were there were some standoff with police police try to these and the protests because people were not complying with face mask and social distancing regulations and we saw some people being detained police have also stressed that in other parts of the city a container was burnt and police officers were also thrown bottles out so we it's we've seen it clearly a tense situation here in berlin and a very mixed bag of people protesting here against those coronavirus restrictions thomas of maybe a tough job authorities counted some i think 1000 participants but what can you

tell us about those demonstrators. was a say it's a mixed bag of demonstrators so there are people also anti boxes here there are conspiracy theorists here there are people from the far right scene in fact far right extremists also we've been able to see some of them there are supporters of the far right a f t o's well there are supporters of donald trump we saw one person for example waving a donald trump jacket here but there are also many people with legitimate concerns people who come have come to us to say that they're from the center of germany society from the middle class of germany society and they simply feel that the coronavirus egyptians are not proportionate they say they do not belong to the far right or to the far left but they simply come from the middle of germany society and they want to be able to express their opinions freely and those opinions of a particular case are against what the government has been doing to fight the coronavirus pandemic thomas now that the protest has been disbanded or at least partially disband the does that strengthen the narrative of the protestors that the state is limiting people's essential rights of protesting. that's one way of

looking at it certainly and that's something that people have also stressed here that the fact that the protest was initially banned and then overturned obviously gives them some ideas and some rights to actually fight for what they believe and what they believe here is that the government is restricting some of their rights and they want those rights to be protected and respected the other side of the story is obviously stressed that public health is also very important and that has to be guaranteed and that's the reason why for example they decided to disband the protest as people were not wearing masks and keeping social distancing in berlin thomas farah thank you so much. well demonstrators against mass wearing and social distancing gathered in london and paris today so in smaller but similar groups than in berlin in london despite the virus having killed more than 40000 people in the u.k. so far thousands met at trafalgar square some carried banners calling the virus a hoax in paris people also gathered calling for freedom from

a hygene dictatorship and is rising in many places against lock down restrictions. limiting. what are some sad news from the world event a time now black panther actor chadwick boseman has died at the age of 43 doesn't want international acclaim playing king teacher in the box office hit he passed away after a long and private battle with cats just this year. before finding famous the regal black panther in the film adaptation of the marvel comic bushman played historical figures such as funk soul musician james brown and get on up and jackie robinson the 1st african-american to play in major league baseball in the film 42 jackie robinson. black and white breeze i want you to know. think about the abuse he's like.

or not here altogether. but it was his role playing king charles in the blockbuster black panther that his family said was the honor of his life we like to know. what happens. to terms attached. to the rest of the want black panther 13 academy awards in 2019 the film was a huge box office success and was widely seen as a defining moment for representation in hollywood both men had been battling colon cancer for 4 years his family said on twitter that he died at home with his wife and family by his side he was just 43. take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. authorities in china say at least 17 people have been killed after a restaurant collapsed in the north of the country rescue as dozens of survivors

from the rubble more are believed to be trapped in the 2 story building and down the country some 630 kilometers southwest of beijing the cause is still unclear. and the government demonstrators in chile have hit the streets in one of the largest protests since the start of the coronavirus pandemic police in the capital santiago dispersed the crowds with water cannon made more than 20 arrests the demonstrations started last october over hockey and metro feeds. a vessel sponsored by the british street artist banksy has called for a may be of help after reportedly rescuing more than 200 migrants in the mediterranean sea the crew tweeted that i would reaching a state of emergency with at least one did and several injured on board. that were trained on the video sharing up tick tock that has outraged stumm

holocaust memorial group's video creators a posting clips in which they pretend to be victims of the nazi regime using makeup to display bruises and simulating starvation the house which birkenau museum and memorial in poland has spoken out against the so-called holocaust challenge trained the museum which is at the site of the former german concentration camp released a statement saying the videos could be hurtful and offensive and trivialized history. our reporter joel delroy is here with more on this story joe what exactly are these 2 talkies doing well one perspective is that they stick to creators or insensitively using the holocaust as content in their videos in order to game followers and fame but another perspective is that they are trying to empathize with the victims but in a way that's causing intergenerational miscommunication we can have a look at some of these videos now. so as we can see in these clips the creators of

basically acting as holocaust characters and they're recounting how they were captured by the nazis and died and some are using make up for fake bruises or they're wearing striped prison inmate outfits or wearing yellow stars now this is all part of a much wider to talk trend cold p.o.v point of view videos in which people basically take on characters from a 1st person perspective now i've seen a lot of these and i do feel that many are generally trying to convey a sense of tragedy and empathize with the victims but it's being done in a way that some people could see as disrespectful or self aggrandizing now the auschwitz birkenau museum has acknowledged that some of these create is were trying to express personal memories but also that some were created not to commemorate anyone but to become part of a wider trend and that they say is very offensive now the museum also said that none of these young people should be attacked or shamed that unfortunately is

exactly what has happened we tried to reach out to a few of them to get their perspectives but many of deleted their accounts one has made a public statement saying that they didn't mean to offend anybody and what does tick-tock have to cite what tick tocks says it is now blocking searches related to this so-called holocaust challenge but i think it would be a shame if they blocked all searches related to the holocaust because there's another perspective on this which is that chick talk can also be used as a really powerful platform to educate young people and i'll give you a positive example brooke tawfiq is a high school student from florida and she has created hundreds of these short clips in which explains facts from history and we can take a look now at one of her holocaust related videos. today i want to talk about a little of my own heritage on my father's side he is czech and roma many bohemian remo are also sent to auschwitz where they were exterminated these 2 bohemian roma here were sent to auschwitz a lot of the bohemian roll of culture was completely exterminated in fact the

bohemian roman dialect is completely extinct here to other bohemian roma but the holocaust was a cultural extermination that killed off so much jewish and roman culture and that can't be forgotten so that was brought public to talk creator she has more than $3500000.00 hots which of the equivalent of likes on the platform of the comments of the video one user said that they didn't realize that the roma had been targeted alongside jews in the holocaust so we can see that although to talk can be a place for narcissistic videos in the misguided misuse of history it can also be a really powerful platform to educate a whole new generation about the holocaust. reporter told over thank you. well social distancing remains the world in many places. but at least new yorkers can get up close and cuddly with one big newcomer to their city king ion the is the biggest bronze gorilla sculpture in the world the 4 and
