was very clear we want strong and close relationships but not at all cost otherwise it will be a load your breakfast right there matters for us in brussels and a very good mass in london thank you both. this week we are looking back to back at events it felt like we were in a trance we took on everything that came our way but you can't see that we were ready for what happened it was an american sea humanitarian emergency. the refugees arrived with nothing and nowhere to live nothing to eat and spoke virtually no german. cristiana backman from the same neighborhood initiative set about trying to organize things. on the dementor here i knew that i couldn't just walk away the people here were hungry one day you were going to be hungry the next women who were pregnant one day would also be pregnant the next i knew that from the start. both the volunteers

worked full time at the community center which depends on donations some of those who arrived in 2015 are also involved helping to ensure that today's asylum seekers have an easier time of it. most fled from syria 5 years ago after his hand was blown off by a bomb now he works as an interpreter. it doesn't matter where you live people need help i used to get messed about because i didn't speak the language. that's why i became a translator. i decided i had to improve my german help others. and the mission. it's not been an easy transition and the plight of the refugees has had an emotional impact on the volunteers.

a mother may have lost 4 children at sea in the mediterranean and she's telling her story over and over again and a mother who wants to help may not be able to cope emotionally despite counseling and the other alternatives available that it's important to stop and pass on the bats and to someone else. most of the volunteers do carry on although that already challenging work is increasingly made even more difficult by interference from outside. or joy and euphoria soon pass when you're threatened by extreme right wingers we often get threats sent to us by letter email or on the phone it's exhausting and quite honestly the job is no fun anymore. but the volunteers say giving up is not an option their work is not yet finished. here in berlin activists and regional mayors are drawing

attention to the plight of migrants with a protest outside the german parliament they set up a $13000.00 chairs on the lawn of the vice stock each one represents a migrant living in the morea camp in greece the organizers say they want to underline the willingness of several german towns to take in more refugees and offer they say the german interior ministry has ignored. and earlier we spoke to one of the organizers of the protest from the activist group safe she explained what they were hoping to achieve. because the situation is worsening every day that means we don't have any time to do this and we think it's important to remember those people and to bring it up on the political again and again and to say to demand the immediate evacuation of the people living in the. situation has been dreadful in february it's even worse now in the context of coronavirus you went to maria with a couple of mayors from german cities they have signaled they have readiness to

take in refugees and migrants why isn't that happening since 2 years actually already now german. cities say they're ready to take in more refugees but the governmental german government is doing nothing. about 200 refugees we have spaces we have empty places where people could be needed to live and we have cities who say they're ready that means we need more pressure on the government that they finally accept those people and. to take in more refugees the german government itself has said it wanted to take in a 1000 refugees including children why isn't it more happening at the moment what is stalling the progress i think the political will is the missing in a way because we haven't from this civil society is there we have like hundreds of protests and we have the city saying they're ready but nothing is happening so for me the political will is missing and we need to make make more pressure this is finally going to happen what are you hoping that will come out of this protest

today a big discussion again and more pressure on the government so they finally you take in more refugees and save lives. you're watching news still to come on our show it was a dramatic weekend in sports we'll find out why a shocked winner emerged at the italian formula one grand prix. but 1st it is back to school time for many school children around the world but the coronavirus has made returning to class a challenge almost everywhere we ask our correspondents to tell us how school reopening is are growing and there are parts of the world. it was a mix of nerves and excitement of the kids this is east london high school headed back for the 1st time since munch the teachers here tell me they're ready with stock at class times social distancing measures and one way systems but for the older students in particular the road back to the classroom hasn't been easy schools here are reeling from

a series of chaotic government you tons which left many kids over the summer facing days of uncertainty about how their results would be awarded the canceled exams and this new school year isn't bringing back any more stability teachers here say many kids a month behind on the learning their warning that the knock on effects could take that toll for some time to come despite a new surge of coronavirus cases. open in the states even if it doesn't look like it it's actually a nursery school behind me it's not ok to do in the beauty of this park and i was very happy when we ran for him some days ago that our son got a place there to happiness with a feeling of uncertainty the government came up with another measure and some days ago about schools haven't had any time to react at least there's going to be parents meeting in some days hopefully find out more about how our 1st days of school look like during the 100 students are back in school throughout the whole of

china including more han what the epidemic has staci. students need to wear masks there are social distancing measures staggered schedules but otherwise schools are supposed to go back to their normal curricular schools colleges and other educational institutions continue to remain. but the government has allowed schools the file back some of this stuff by the end of this month for online classes and other related however competitive examinations which take place in the country every country had to be conducted by protests by students. in uganda capito com public schools remain closed what you see here is a reflection of what's happening across the country right from elementary level to uni. classes remain closed the government is not sure of when to reopen schools now especially with the rising cases of course that 19 now many teachers of already

lost their jobs while you're on the government try to introduce lessons of radio and television but sustaining that became a challenge so many families have already described 2020 as their last. all right moving on to sports now in tennis world number one novak djokovic has been disqualified from the u.s. open the 33 year old was the favorite to win the grand slam in new york but that all ended when the serbian hit a line charge with the ball in the 1st set against spain's public opinion that it appeared unintentional but joke of it was still objects from the tournament despite his pleading with so many players missing the tournaments and made coronavirus a 1st time men's champion will be crowned this year. well there was also drama in formula one with the most exciting race of the season so far in italy france's spirit ghastly one his 1st ever grand prix and world champion lewis hamilton made

a major mistake and paid the price. when standings leader lewis hamilton sped away from pole that there was little indication of the drama to follow it looked like being another easy win for the british defending champion. first sebastian fertilise brakes failed in a dreadful whole race but ferrari. then kevin magnussen haas broke down so it seemed inconsequential to the top drivers book to prove crucial for hamilton he pitted for the safety car but should not have done because magnussen was too near the pit lane the mercedes driver would have to serve a 10 2nd penalty it might not have been such a problem for hamilton had ferrari charlotte clear not crashed meaning the race had to be restarted and the pack all bunched up back together. the chaos meant pierre ghastly took a shock victory for our fatality it was he's made in the formula one win on the 1st

by a frenchman since $99.00 d.c. . after a dramatic drop in visitor numbers due to the pandemic venice has shown that they can still draw a crowd hundreds of spectators lined the banks of the famous grand canal for the annual historical regatta to watch rowers and gondoliers paddle the waterways in historical costume the event dates back to the 13th century and it is billed as one of venice's most beautiful traditions reason enough for tourists and locals to turn out despite fireworks restriction. coming up next on news asia protests in hong kong on a day that people should have been voting we bring you voices for democracy from the city already reeling under the effects of a draconian security law. and urban rail service is resumed in delhi after a 5 month stoppage even as the country registers record daily increases in covert

a world class horn player singer willis on a musical journey of discovery. without a telephone. number 16 on. this is the day after news asia coming up today protests for democracy on the day it was denied. on congress demanded elections despite a government order of the postponed them to next year all the koran of august fear as police make arrests as protesters state farm on their demand. they also want a new security to go imposed on the city to be scrapped look at what hong kong goes up against and how they are fighting back. i did india metro services presume in the capital delhi and other cities just as the countries are called the 2nd highest

coronavirus distilled in the world. i'm british manager welcome to news asia it's good to have you with us police in hong kong have arrested nearly 300 people for protesting in the territory on sunday protestors were on the streets on the day that hong kong should have been holding local elections have they not been postponed for a year by the government over coronavirus police responded to pepper balls against protesters who demonstrated against the defilement many believe it was to prevent the pro-democracy parties from gaining at the ballots riding on a wave of anti establishment feeling a new security. that prohibits virtually all protest in the city has added to the anti-government mood.

now this is what some of those protesting at to say. that come up they show you see only if the government cancels the legislative council election the main reason is certainly not to prevent the spread of the current 19 epidemic. i think the hong kong government is trying to suppress the people's right to express their demands the solutions they wish to see and what the future should look like our rights are being abused yet i want to have them off. because right now the prototype. is that i think i'm god so we will have to fight for that made to point out what we care what we want to talk about but you know i thought today is to keep up the momentum of the resistance because of the coronavirus and other factors they haven't been too many people protesting but we hope to come out

to let everyone know that we haven't forgotten those who have been arrested and forced into exile. but we're here to oppose the national security law maybe there's nothing much to be done maybe the most we can do is to remind each other on the internet but we still want to express our voice for home camas to . passing. but it's a voice that's been increasingly stifled under the new security law which critics have called draconian implemented and made its use the word of provisions virtually prohibit all forms of protest those convicted of offenses can be sentenced to a maximum of life in prison for hong-kong those used to be politically active and having free expression it has meant adjusting to what has become a new normal. a lot has changed in hong kong. it used to be that many cafes and restaurants exhibited pro-democracy slogans written on post it notes now

the notes are all blank. for cafe owner dixon written political statements are now too risky to blank poster is the new form of protest. the police could put the national security law into effect. just being accused could lead to arrest and imprisonment so. you can see. it's not just post it notes protesters also hold up blank signs ever since the new national security law was instituted political opinions have become dangerous the 1st arrest a young man with a flag demanding hong kong's independence. at least 10 people have been arrested under the new law. no one knows which political slogans are still allowed. you should be going to see. although the advantage to leave

people guessing is the. hall has less willing to. speak out and that mean that maybe. public libraries and school libraries are now being forced to remove books that don't follow the party line books my democracy activists have already vanished. many teachers are just hard. resistance could cost them their jobs many in hong kong won't express their criticisms in public. we see that it's. freedom of speech freedom of press or. freedom. also. prohibits or controlled by the girls.

to home call. the younger generation has been especially involved in the pro-democracy movement now schools are being targeted by beijing so called security law. even statements that teachers make in private are being monitored. they receive to come to a truce or critical or social per. school for us to use or use for. teachers and all the. use of groups to for and for all before. the atmosphere in schools has changed according to these students who call themselves cake and k.f.c. to avoid recognition a month ago cakes music class chose the song glory to hong kong for

a class project. the song had become a him in the protest movement over the past year and was a viral hit. i. i students in schools and universities made a video and then spread it on social media it was often sung at pro-democracy demonstrations. but cakes music teacher paid a high price for making the song a subject of the school exam she was fired. for all the time one of the students that presented the song in music class now i feel guilty i think. the teacher was fired because of that song we never thought it would have such terrible consequences.

what angers cake in k.f.c. the most is that their teacher was fired for trying to influence the students. but patriotic songs praising china's communist party are allowed in the school. so that. the song without the communist party. there would be no new china is not defined as a political song. why should glory to hong kong be considered a political song. cake and k.f.c. want to continue their protest to 14 and 16 year olds can barely believe how much the new law has already changed their lives free hong kong no longer exists. in the same streets were a 1000000 people marched to defend their rights in security and fear are the new normal.

in the us coronavirus caseload has surged to the 2nd highest in the world behind the united states endeavored to start another 90000 new infections on sunday to push the national tally passed 4200000 over this past month the country has emerged as the new global pandemic hotspot consistently recording the world's highest single day increases in covert 1000 cases as the public health situation worsens and efforts to head off the economic but others have gained new agency today train services resumed in cities across the country including in the capital delhi. the delhi metro for the 1st time in 5 months the rapid transit system is the largest in india it added more than 2 and a half 1000000 passengers per day before the pandemic lock down today's reopening is only partial and comes with a host of hygiene and social distancing measures as. only asymptomatic people will be allowed to board the trains mosques social distancing and

temperature tricks mandatory we also people what they think about their restrictions and whether they will keep passing just safe to bet that all they do if it'll be better if only those going to the office or traveling urgently or to far off places use the metro i don't think they're the reason to be very difficult to get of themselves the koran is going to stay for 2 or 3 more years according to the harvest studies and recent trends so i think is important people should be if. not in the metro this morning and from what i observe i feel people will be safe. but i'm not confident enough to go in the metro in this scenario no not at least a coming 6 months. over in thailand the country's microbreweries and beer lovers a facing a tough time the koran i want to spend on a crackdown on social media posts about drinking have left the industry feeling flat on top of that small brewers say government rules favoring mosby up productions forcing them to reconsider where they do business.

who is a craft beer connoisseur and this one should hit this boat after all he brooded . but with covert 19 battering baseness and government rules that favor mass produce these days beer leaves a better taste in the mouth. is now forced to migrate. they have to make do with here so it's with school and that is a treat i tell you what we have now to help with here sell for us. and. that is possible we will we maybe of. thailand's beer lovers have been left worried by something else not on one person blogs about growing us recently his work began attracting the attention of the police he's been charged after he uploaded an image of

a glass of wine under an old law which prohibits images of alcohol that may promote drinking. from come here my man i've managed my page for almost 10 years i never had any problems related to my reviews until the pubs and bars closed and alcohol was banned during the lockdown i'm among several people facing this problem in almost the same period of time when a. government official say the 2008 law fail to consider social media. its power and force and i recently advertising his lean more towards online and so have sailors speaking frankly the old law has been disrupted the old law which was analogue has been disrupted by social media get out of. the strict advertising rules have hit smaller independent craft brewers trying to compete with the stop list household beer brands. it's just another reason to say goodbye to thailand.

w. it's been 8 months of masks of lock downs and curfews have living in fear of coffee at 19 and around the world people are saying they've had enough coronavirus fatigue is setting in not just from the virus itself but the restrictions governments have implemented to slow it spread people are gathering closer together wearing face masks less often. some of the reactions have been angry demonstrations against coronavirus restrictions have drawn tens of thousands of protesters into the streets mundus into the pandemic we understand that people are tired to get on with their lives with a vaccine likely still months away people's desire to return to normality and the

growing backlash against restrictions is becoming a major risk. after months of the pandemic it's probably no surprise that many of us are feeling sick of getting sick in belgium people are returning to school and work after the summer break the number of new daily cases there is falling but the country has one of europe's highest death rates nevertheless a study into speaking region flanders home to more than half the population shows 70 percent of people no longer support the restrictive measures aimed at slowing the spread of the virus reporter teri schultz sent this report from brussels. the cove in $1000.00 infection rate is declining in belgium but couvade $1003.00 teeth is growing so many months of isolation so many masks for me it's like something really operative 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. go into metro ok but if i walk alone in the street that is really too much and. t.-bo is hardly alone in his opposition michael for stratton 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 that summer's over everyone's back from holidays more likely to be in enclosed places at work and school it could be a toxic coronavirus cocktail you're quite worried leading belgian virologist even vang says experts are stealing for a potential september surge he nonetheless agrees people should be given more information about actions and consequences and then more autonomy so people can have some freedom to choose what they think is group for their situation and they can at their behavior but are people so sick of restrictions by now they won't follow them then believes most do comply but 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 measure should be reviewed to see if they're stopping the virus or just the vitality of everyday life. masks always well as speak to naomi rogers who is professor in the history of medicine at yale should we be surprised that people are starting to feel tired of the masks in the restrictions you know i really think we should be. i think that. it's someone who's also living through this as well and it's a story out. i see all around me a sense that people have responded pretty seriously on the basis

that this was some kind of disaster so for a disaster you know you're hunkered down you you for guidance and somehow there was an implicit bargain that it would end i mean appearance for example extraordinarily hard with their children. restricting their movement teaching them online hoping to assuming that. the order him that all the schools would be open and everything regard back to normal and it's been a real shock when that is simply not show it's like you say there's this bargain was and that if we did as we were told that we would get an early end to this pandemic and it's not turned out that way for people you mention you're a historian of diseases is there a story precedence for this is fatigue people getting tired of trying to protect themselves. oh actually during the 1918 pandemic.

and we don't know it as much about the experience of people during tend to mix as we really short but it's very clear that people were so anxious to actually to be able to celebrate their return. world war one. veterans and finally at the end of what we now know was the 1st wave of the pandemic they were parades in history everybody was delighted and it was also a feeling that depending mick had ended but in fact that wasn't true and then there was. a real sense of anger and frustration when influenza riam o. edged as a major willed wide problem a 2nd time in just a couple of months after that so we do know that they have been historical precedents both of the hour and here of ways and also the experience of living

through them if you put in place and because they want this to come to an end but. what doesn't and look like how can we say when this pandemic is over. that's such an interesting question and i have to say that in my experience i've written about it demick sent. widely about others historians just didn't seem to really problem but i used to question it seems to me to actually quite a complicated idea what isn't and who is it who's calling it it and when does it feel like an end and in particular for example living here in the united states i noticed that. during the summer there's been a lot of cool for the simply to be the end that everybody should be able to go back to risk wrongs and. go swimming in lakes and the

sea just return to an ordinary happy summer time saturday just to say so this is the end that's where we are now let's just pretend that's exactly who you're calling it the end. and this is being as you can imagine this. resulted in great frustration by many public health experts who say well but it but it isn't the end and people who weren't people in essence are saying we have been a relatively compliant we have to listen to the science and you don't know when and. and i think it varies i mean i don't know whether it's so much a question of communication i think that's probably one issue but i think there's also a wider sense among the general public and really many public health experts as well which is that they don't know that they don't really have

a good sense some of what the induced can look like or how to more confidently predict it and when your experience real when you realize the explodes don't know. that becomes an even greater. motivation for just saying well maybe i i can decide when it isn't that's the problem nobody knows well at least this interview is now listen and thank you naomi rogers from the school of medicine it's been great to get your insights you're very welcome thank you for having me. now have you got questions you'd like to ask us about the coronavirus well get in contact on how you tube channel and as science correspondent derrick williams will do his best. what country has lost the most health care workers. this question came in

a while ago and i wanted to answer that but i couldn't find reliable data now we have some a new report released by amnesty international last week revealed how the pandemic has taken a very heavy toll on on frontline medical staff all over the world in the last 8 months and all it said that at least 7000 health care workers have been killed by private 19 worldwide since the pandemic began and we know that hundreds of thousands more have been infected with the disease while while making efforts to contain it and to treat patients the report said that over half of all confirmed deaths among medical staff had occurred in just 4 countries mexico the united states brazil and india that's not really

a surprise those 4 countries also represent more than half of all confirmed cases of covert 19 worldwide so so to answer your question mexico is the country that so far seems to have lost the most health care workers to the pandemic and it's lost them at a much higher rate in proportion to its number of confirmed cases than in other countries one analysis said health care workers there were 4 times more likely to die of the disease than their counterparts in the u.s. . it's. very queer limbs there now citizens of venice got a break from the monotony of coronavirus restrictions with a return of one of the city's most colorful events hundreds of facemask the nation's watched on as the annual regatta sturrock a return to the city's grand canal i've been doing it since the 13th century that's
