10:03 pm
witnessed a tro trump supporters as well as anti trump demonstrators protesters and b.l.m. protesters giving each other a shouting match and shouting competition. feelings and emotions took up a good bit but now everything calmed down a little bit time for us to bring in a very special guest and i'll going to put my mass back on because that's in times of court 19 a good thing to do i'm going to talk to and introduce you to sarah sarah is 19 years old comes actually from germany lives in the united states for the last year in chicago and this is your 1st time here in canarsie however you are of course expressing your your your stance here and for who you're rooting for and what is important to you let me ask you sarah. as someone who lives here for here already and has some understanding of what's going on in the united states but it's also has a background from europe. what did the the president's visit here can or should
10:04 pm
today in this situation in which can or if there is right now. how does that translate to you what is it what are your thoughts about that well so 1st of all i think that so trump came he didn't pay his condolences to the family of jacob lake he was talking to the police so i think when we take that it looks like he's not supporting us with our play clothes made a movement by supporting his supporters and supporting them into you know not even not even acknowledging that there is this a systemic racism but you know one of us actually might have it the police to keep going the way it's going right now so it's important for us as people to you know stand up to show up to show that we care and that we here that we're not silent but that we're going to be here and protest him and show the world that we're going to be here. and yeah not just the styling because trump is here so we have been talking to a lot of citizens of can ocean of course but also another of the cities minneapolis
10:05 pm
and other cities you're from chicago which has its own set of problems and protests also like last night or protests against systemic racism and so on where do you think i mean you're 19 years old and there might be people saying like what does a 19 year old know but let's push this aside and just where do you think is does america stand where what has to happen in this country here between the races between ethnicities between people to make things better or is there no chance to make things better i do want to believe that there's a chance to make things better but i think the way that we can make things better is if we unite not against each other but together so that means that we need to come together and what we've seen today here it was not there was no violence involved it was just you know exchanging words and i actually got a few opportunities to talk to trump supporters who are open minded and you know just exchange opinions and i think that's a good start to not be hating against each other but supporting and trying to
10:06 pm
understand the other side in order to come together and find a way of living together and of like overcome the burden of systemic racism and police brutality your generation what do you expect from your generation actually you're 19 years old and i'm way way way older so there we talked to a lot of people who say like you know what it is it is for the next generation for your age group to really bring about change and to bring the bring it the message home that. it has to change now or it will again not change for decades would you say that is true we heard this several times from several people white people from all sides of the divide would you say that is true and do you have expectations to your for your generation here in the united states to change things yes i do expect our generation to to to vote to be involved to be
10:07 pm
political and to express our feelings i think that's really important but that's also what i've seen so far i've been to a lot of protests in chicago and it usually was between 15 and 30 that was the age group there was dissipating in the protests so i think we already like involved in doing a lot to you know get rid of systemic racism but also it's not only it's not going to happen in a few years it's a leveling protest. and i thank you so much tara really appreciate it so they have a brand. again there's a long walk ahead for all people here and conneaut show not only can our suburbs in the united states and it really doesn't matter from where you are looking at this from where you come from i think everybody can agree on this yes. many of these issues aren't just american they are the lobel different times on the story for us in connection with guns and stefan thank you. on the other side of the

10:14 pm
covert 19 infection rate is declining in belgium but 1000 fatigue is growing so many months of isolation and so many masks for me it's like something really oppressive t.-bo who doesn't want to give his last name despises social distancing and defies the rule to wear a mask in downtown brussels if i. if i go into metro ok but if i walk alone in the street no no that is really too much and tivo is hardly alone in his opposition michael johnson who represents the protest group virus madness says no one should have to follow restrictions except to the most vulnerable how many people would die if we would not take any measures at all but we don't know if you have no idea new research shows just one in 3 people surveyed in the dutch speaking part of belgium still supports the safety measures that's down from more than 80

percent in march when the pandemic 1st hit here university of ghent professor martin feldstein who led the study blames poor official communication for the dramatic drop in motivation he says it's been a wake up call for authorities to pay more attention to people state of mind i don't think we have sufficiently been informing people on the consequences of their behavior for them to take a wise decision and now with the 1st of september comes the traditional way in belgium a return from holidays back to work and school it could be a toxic coronavirus cocktail we're quite worried leading belgian virologist stephen venga says experts are stealing for a potential september surge he nonetheless agrees people should be given more information about actions and consequences and then he more autonomy so people can have some freedom to choose what they think is true. for their situation and they

can at their behavior but are people so sick of restrictions by now they would follow them believes most do comply with a bit but just think if i don't obey them too strictly because it's very difficult to do but i try anyway they command i feel much safer wearing it we must do it all together but skepticism is clearly growing in recent days open letters have been published in belgian media signed by hundreds of experts including doctors scientists and researchers suggesting the strict measures should be reviewed to see if they're stopping the virus or just the vitality of every day life. with germany's latest unemployment figures paint a mixed coronavirus picture there are more than half a 1000000 more people out of work now compared to this time last year but the monthly unemployment rate well that is holding all the least steady putting

millions of workers onto reduced hours that has helped to cushion the impact of the pandemic. the german government has issued an unproved economic forecast for this year it expects the crisis to inflict less damage than initially feared but companies that built trade fair pavilions like this one from nuremberg are struggling with the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic. that could take the trade fair sector years to get back to normal so the managing director is looking for alternative markets for the company furniture for cats could be a new direction. then the oil companies have to come up with new ideas and take some risks we must simply leave our comfort zone we just can't sit back and say the government has to help us with. the company wants to hold on to skilled workers to be ready when the crisis is over and the economy picks up again. germany's economy
10:18 pm
minister remains optimistic. it is more encouraging and a sign of hope it's the german economy is in a better shape than was expected by so many the economy. the economic. figures for the 1st probably the year less dramatic than it was we have in the beginning. business executives and employees are hoping a possible 2nd coronavirus wave doesn't send the economy into another tailspin. china's foreign minister is condemning his group of parliamentarians from the czech republic for quote crossing a line by visiting taiwan the czech senate president is leading a delegation from his country on a visit to taipei and he delivered a passionate speech in parliament saying that he himself was tawi needs china

10:20 pm
here in berlin more on that from b. to be used chief international editor richard walker. but this was meant to be an exercise a kind of diplomatic patching up with europe after months that have really been overshadowed by just an enormous set of problems or in fact your relations between china and the e.u. it's pretty safe to say all is not well with them and this really goes back of course to the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic which of course began in china and there is a sense that there are many questions about how open china was at the beginning of that pandemic whether it could have been more transparent about the beginnings of it something that could potentially have given other countries more time to prepare for it to arrive on their shores but that's far from being the only issue a whole host of problems or soaring kind of geopolitical tensions with the americans basically over trade but over all sorts of other things where europe is in a bit of a pickle about where to position itself there are human rights violations going on
10:21 pm
in grand style in shin jang in the northwestern muslim minority province in china and of course what's been going on in hong kong where a new national security law was imposed by the chinese just this summer something the german see as stripping away very very important commitments that were made to hong kong when it rejoined china from being a british colony back in 1907 so all of these major issues on the table and at the same time the chinese and the europeans ostensibly want to agree poor to an investment treaty that is particularly important of the europeans because they say they want it to give their companies better access to the chinese market but of course with wangi coming to these diplomatic talks with hamas today with a cloud of having openly threatened the european lawmaker hanging over him they
