social distancing anywhere. the government says it's doing all it can to keep india safe but with infection numbers still on the rise it will take more than a deep cleaning to stop the spread. now despite the alarming rise in infections india's fatality rate remains fairly low at about 2 percent we have delhi correspondent michelle jaiswal just why that is. continuing to be studies on this matter i am but then also i'm sure you protect what's happened out one of them is that india has a better to be younger waukesha now. she's played much and was also created and this population is actually keeping in yes peter do you know one of the only noble few nations today it is actually comparable to the countries more on that you want to let them or doubt is costly activity basically then is high school to india to other good one i want to see me actually. fight off the disease but.

german president frank fall to shit on mars says germany should consider holding an official memorial ceremony for victims of covert 19. stime are said many relatives of people who died did not get to see their loved ones because of quarantine precautions you had that he didn't know when or if any such ceremony would be conducted and said he needed to talk to other government bodies before any concrete plans could be made. well germany wouldn't be the 1st country to officially on or is corona virus victims if the president's idea goes ahead and did have your reporter joel doll roy has been looking into this question look i want to get to germany but before have other countries chosen to to remember their dad well the pandemic is far from over but already some places a memorial izing the victims to coronavirus china was the 1st it held a national day of mourning back in april spain went further by declaring 10 days of
7:05 pm
national mourning in july along with a big ceremony in madrid which was headed by the king well in italy just last week there was a special tribute concert inside the duomo cathedral in milan the famous law scholar opera company performed. it was the piece which was the requiem a famous tribute to the piece that's played it could be funerals regularly and the some of the performances we can see had to wear mosques while they were playing and this event was attended by the nation's leaders so that's what's going on elsewhere we have to wait and see how the german president's proposal develops can be very very moving i think it meaningful ceremonies so the moral ceremonies but is there any talk of a monument now so far there's no talk of an official physical monument but some ideas have come from ordinary citizens staying in is only one idea has come from an architect he wants to repurpose the city's football stadium by planting 35000
7:06 pm
cypress trees in the stands where the fans used to sit and we can have a look now at an image of that proposal now he says this stadium is slated to be demolished anyway so why not put it to this use we have to stress this is still just an idea but there are some existing an ongoing tributes being paid this one's from germany it's from the town of zelda mailer's in the eastern state of touring where thousands of candles are regularly lit now this was started by an accountant named gertrude shop she had to do polls the project over the summer due to fire danger but i spoke to mr sharp today and she told me that she is again collecting candles and she again hopes to restart this candlelight tribute within a few weeks it's very touching if there is an official memorial that sends a political message of some kind as that's right and it's probably no coincidence that the german president made this proposal just a week after there was a major demonstration here in berlin all of coronavirus skeptics all of which the
7:07 pm
president was quite critical and he reminded us of the infection rate is again increasing here in germany we're nearing a quarter of a 1000000 infections and over 9300 deaths he reminded us that a lot of those deaths a very lonely because they can't take place near family members and so that's one reason he's proposed the ceremony to give those family members and the country a proper chance to grieve ok thank you for that. let's take a look now at some of the other developments in the pandemic frats has registered nearly $9000.00 coronavirus cases in the last 24 hours that's the highest daily figure since the start of the pandemic. u.s. health officials say the number of u.s. coronavirus deaths is projected to more than double to over 400000 by january and the head of the world health organization has said the agency will not endorse a covert 19 back scene before it has proved to be safe and effective let's take

a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world british police have arrested several people at an empty immigration rally in dover protesters are angry about a surge in migrants crossing the english channel immigration of refugees and asylum seekers from france to britain has sharply increased this year more than $5000.00 people arrived in small boats in 2020. the leaders of mali's military coup are holding meetings to discuss the transition to civilian rule members of political parties civil society organizations and religious groups will take part in the talks last month army leaders took power in the west african country following weeks of antigovernment protests. and thousands of women have rallied in bellerose capital minutes against the election of president alexander lukashenko latest demonstrations come after masked men were filmed arresting student protesters on friday night mass demonstrations have rocked the country's president lukashenko won

his 6th term in an election the opposition says was rigged. police in the australian city of melbourne have made a number of arrests against a protest against measures part me to stop the coronavirus several 100 people gathered at the rally the measures including a curfew were put in place after a spike in infections in melbourne and the state of victoria. there's likely no climate activist more famous than greater to over the last 2 years the swedish teenager has become the face of a global youth movement to fight club climate change now she's having her story told at the venice film festival the highly anticipated documentary i am greater aims to provide a more complete picture of the activists and put the climate crisis back in the spotlight. in this week. and i have been invited me to the whole world knows her name gratitude and. the documentary about the climate
7:10 pm
activist showing out of competition at the venice film festival. i am grettir by nathan grossman follow the young suite for one year. if i can be so kind of also rich so that people can identify more with them or the climate crisis and understand it more than then i know that i guess that is a good thing but it is also struggling to cope with the effects of climate change the city suffering from floods almost every year climate experts warn the city will at some point be submerged. director nathan grossman who's visiting venice for the 1st time says a change of direction has long been needed and it's such a beautiful city it's such an heritage and i actually thought to myself when i saw . this this concert 6 truck church that it would be such a such a sad thing to see
7:11 pm
a place like this kid devastated by a rise in sea level of course to the world that did not come to venice and she joined the conversation by video link from high school the film is expected to be released internationally in november this year. and this film about grated timberg is one of the big talking points of the venice film festival and scott rocks is there to shed some light on it scott unusual political tones and films at this festival is the theme this year less less hollywood and more politics. yeah in some ways yes i mean a lot of hollywood films aren't here because of. the studios didn't send their films and their stars to venice this year so political films are sort of filling the gap and so we're seeing a lot of political documentaries like the great film but also a lot of political dramas i mean there was a very compelling film a few days ago. which is about the srebrenica massacre of 1905
7:12 pm
a very wrong and powerful movie that shows films don't have to be just entertaining they can also. bear bear witness to history and also maybe even in both political change and i have to say for me it's a welcome change here at best to see such serious films getting a platform. and the film industry of course in this time is hoping for a restart at the festival what does venice have to offer. like think that this can show us what we're all missing i mean. missing when we're only streaming films at home on our on our couch on our laptops i mean all the big stars who've been here tilda swinton cate blanchett or spanish director payroll motiv are that's the message they've been giving saying go back to the cinema remember what it's like to be in the center of an experience that and to be honest i mean the film industry lives from from hype it lives from that buzz that comes
7:13 pm
from you hearing about a movie that everybody's talking about that you just have to rush out and see in the cinema and i think venice hopefully can provide that kind of buzz and really restart the film industry. ok thank you did you scott roxboro afford. there at the venice film festival reporting on the great a film and hopefully a renaissance for the film industry in general. we turn to sports now and one of the biggest soccer transfers of the summer now however it's has completed his move from cruising to chelsea for a reported 80000000 euros however it's left germany's nations lead camp after their game against spain to head to london where he finalize the deal the premier league club says the highly rated attacker has signed a 5 year contract at chelsea. and that's all the news for this hour ali back in 45 minutes with more headlines and we leave you now with images from the force of the stonier where the usual peace and

discover her. subscribe to the documentary on to. shift special how drones are helping humans during the krona virus pandemic and beyond. the covered 900 pandemic has given drones a post the unmanned aerial vehicles are being used to disinfect streets remind people of lock down measures and still have your food as well as other supplies. this is a promo clip from the irish startup model the company was set to begin testing its
7:17 pm
food delivery by drone service in march. but then came the coronavirus pandemic now monitors flying its drones to a small town called money gall and staff were delivering critical food supplies to farms across the city inhabitants of the town that are cooling during the condo and . given a drones that they can deliver goods to lockdown areas without individual people having to come into contact. 7 year old for del my gleason order bread and milk for medications also being delivered directly toward doorstep it's absolutely fantastic and it's as he's delivered by jordan i thought i'd never see the day which happened as i wouldn't have to get into my care and going into town to collect just. a single drone can make up to $100.00 deliveries per day monist. founder bobby healy says that if the government wants the start of could be delivering to $600.00 smaller towns across ireland by the end of the year and. what's more
7:18 pm
he says monitoring the autonomy drones could be a job for airline pilots currently out of work because of the chronic crisis. in the supper yard its municipal workers who are operating drones the beach town began using drones for ocean rescues to monitor forest and brush fires. now drones are also supplying elderly people in remote areas with medications disinfectant and facemasks the nearest pharmacy is about 2 hours away on foot. this resident says it's necessary for them to come to us where we live is remote but the distance doesn't count only the goodwill of the people. these examples show how creative individuals worldwide are using the technology to help overcome 900 channel inches. several african countries like qualified john experts to help overcome this allowing us have found
7:19 pm
at the african cademy for young africans can learn to build and operate drones. deborah getting a flying lesson. she's one of the 1st students at africa's 1st drawn academy. deborah plans to use what she's learned during the program to help her native country malawi. many things that i didn't from here we had we had in the designing of the jones designing of the payload. trees and it's hard to reach. being able to fly drones accurately is important and hard to reach areas so from commuters to 5 meters over this 10 meter range.
7:20 pm
the curriculum demands a lot from the 26 students currently enrolled around half are female most and all are from africa this was one of unicef's conditions for financially supporting the academy. africa many times has been far behind in technology and we think drones are the future we want them to start their own businesses join current businesses is really building up the journey industry and being more than just pilots to this and her fellow students learn to construct and pilot drawings integrate them into supply chain systems and analyze drawn data. great in the face based. basically as a woman and. this law is not far from the academy. deborah comes from humble background herself if the drone program weren't free of charge she wouldn't be able to afford it. we are finding this rule is useful to.
7:21 pm
be disease outbreaks at some point and. challenges season by season different of them. also because of these different seasonal agricultural challenges malawi hopes drones can help protect small farmers like david george. the country is spearheaded using drones and data in 27000 feet open the world's 1st drone testing corridor. here companies like martin carroll's employer can test their drone solutions. martinus testing how to supply remote villages with medicines and surveying the region to identify areas at risk and flooding. it's a hard situation because you know it's a lot of families have a lot of history in the areas that they've grown up and i don't want to move our goal is to be able to provide the evidence showing that you know this is prone to flooding and this is where it could happen whereas if we move to this area could be
7:22 pm
less and less prone to flooding. so far drug companies like arrow can't find enough qualified personnel in africa the academy is supposed to change that you see that today is a special day for debra her presentation on digital maps as part of her final exam if everything works out she'll soon be a qualified drone pilot and technician. deborah wants to specialize in land surveying in order to help alleviate hunger and starvation in malawi she knows what it means to be poor and her own family never had much. her uncle currently lives in a slum. he's proud of his niece and she visits him often. i didn't number all students in malawi interest the group study is she is the future and he she is in the 1st group that has shown interest me to go on to go
7:23 pm
watch it so i can see a future form allowed for. drone industry looks set to grow rapidly and deborah hopes to be a part of it she wants to found her own company that works with drones focused on helping those in need in malawi and beyond. more than 10 years. has been working on a. save people buried in rubble earthquakes often cost many human life also in italy. in the summer of 2016 these images from central italy shocked the world. the earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 buried hundreds of people and destroyed entire villages. davida scott knows the pictures all too well he grew up in
7:24 pm
a region often affected by earthquakes. these events are actually shocking fortunately i was never actually affected me personally it was never in the middle of it disaster but of course these things that you personally and i always wanted to be able to actually help other people by the closure of. the scientists dream is to develop a truly autonomy micro drone to be used in search and rescue scenarios. and yet the professor for robotics and his team have been working on this project for more than 10 years old so the idea that we should be something whatever disaster there for 5 years with the soup of action i drive today place. and it will finally find its way through the building and find all sorts way you know all the space within the building you can also mock the environment localize where the
7:25 pm
victims are lying and then find its way out from the building. the design is already largely completed the small drone has been equipped with cameras that it uses to scan the surroundings an onboard computer analyzes the captured images and extracts prominent reference points to create a detailed 3 d. map. and this allows it to locate potential survivors of course the drone also needs to reach them and that presented a problem. earthquakes can reduce everything to rubble in order to reach people trapped within a drone would have to be able to get through narrow passages and type tunnels. solution a drone that can adapt to its surroundings by folding and reshaping itself. 4 independently rotating propellers are attached to mobile arms thanks to servo motors these can swivel around the main body allowing the drone to fold into an
7:26 pm
ocean pass through holes. to inspect an object from up close you can turn into a t shape. and it can reposition its arms to get through narrow passages. and into the drone flies autonomous like using a special software that registers points on structures and follows the multiplier. this enables the drone to constantly calculate its own exact location and speed. a training ground close to be our. this is where re dog the swiss society for rescue dogs trains for emergency situations. when looking for buried person after an earthquake nothing beats a dog's nose but there are limits if
7:27 pm
a building is at risk of collapsing the mission is too dangerous for humans and animals. re dog thinks these are situations where a drone could be useful. although the drone is foldable which is great because it can enter buildings through tiny openings and that's really important as pathways can be very small. autonomy's flying is another great feature as cable is communications and connections often get interrupted in the rubble. we don't use his telescope cameras to look inside buildings. but these can only extend some 5 meters after that there's no way forward. i think drones would be great as one of several tools for instance if i use the camera and realize that there's a large hollow space in that i can't go further but i need to run the drone is a great addition. another helpful feature would be
7:28 pm
a microphone with intercom preachers that way i could communicate with somebody very far away inside a building that would also be really important. takes these needs to heart at the moment whoever is primarily working on battery life and the drone speeds. bit by bit i follow it only strictly between 20 and 30 minutes that means if you want to be able to fly fast fast. there are many obstacles. for example you need to be able to perceive and to make the reasoning process think so at the moment are working on these 2 big problems. the robotics professor will continue researching and in a couple of years his dream of the perfect rescue drone may well be a reality. in. the
