it's not dignity which will. everyone. but despite the squalid conditions on the streets many migrants have said they prefer to stay there than risk being detained for months in the new camp. going to look the chickens do not get on a good one we want a free life we've come here to live we are human we are not animals. they put us in a place where there's no life and it's like a jungle. a human cannot live in such tense. greek authorities say the place was started by some of the camp's residents angered by lockdown restrictions in the overcrowded morea camp in recent days migrants have been protesting demanding to leave the island and seek asylum in other e.u. countries. but while several european states have offered to take in migrants unless both others say they will not their office extend to providing more aid and

even more tense but no further. back a large chairs the european parliament's committee on civil liberties justice and home affairs it told him that he considers the e.u.'s lack of action on moriah a failure. it's absolutely intolerable it's unacceptable that there has been 30000 then 20000 no 13000 people completely homeless with no sanitation facilities with no roof with no out system medicines it's absolutely incompatible with your pm values as it is incompatible the narrative which allocate that migrants are a threat to the european security or to the european identity there has to be a more humane approach which is precisely what we have been asking for all week no more on this from tom fountain free show he's

a belgian member of the european parliament welcome to t w i can europe provide a more humane approach. well i do think europe can do a lot more and we need to help the greece government by giving them extra funds to build a new account then these immigrants is refugees these be brought to new can but most of all we must determine another policy we cannot host everybody in the world who wants to who's looking for a better future so i think the e.u. must do a lot more and they must protect and secure the borders ok so extra funds to build a new cam what about dealing with very 12013000 people who are very in that camp the problem seems to be that the system the e.u. system won't allow them to progress from there through the refugee and asylum process. i know but that's logic you need to ask for asylum in the country where

you 1st step foot and now the e.u. has been thinking about and discussing about relocating migrants what we have seen over the last year that years that since anglo-american with her and us policy she actually invited to 3rd world to come to europe and millions and millions are have already come and millions and millions are more to come so we need to change policy we need to adopt an australian style model and we need to be honest they are not welcome here they need to seek for asylum and refuge in the regions of origin and not in europe. but we are still with the world as it is not as you would like it to be what do we do with the $12000.00 human beings who are. less boss now well as we speak the grease government has been building a new camp for the refugees so they need to be brought to this camp as i saw in

your small documentary about it they are refusing it so if people are refusing to be. brought into safety by our governments then we should just send them back to the country they belong to. we have established that the e.u. has been unable to send them anywhere and that is the problem but just to correct you slightly reluctant to go but they're going to have refused to go in let's go about one of the points you made they are not a welcome who does not welcome them and how does this this lack of and how should the e.u. act on this lack of welcome it indeed it exists. well it is very clear if you look at opinion polls all across european nations not only in my nation but also in germany or others people consider mass migration as a threat illegal migration is also a trend not only to us but it is actually the business model of human smugglers and

by allowing. illegal immigrants do apply for asylum in europe then we are sustaining this model of the business model of the human traffickers so i think we need a completely different policy and i do agree that we need to invest in safety for people who are under threat i'm not blind to the difficulties in the rest of the world especially in syria for example but 1st of all we need to agree inside europe a more common policy and i believe that this common policy needs to agree on that. a silent system as we have it right now is that not just not a political anymore so given that everybody knows that they have been saddam system doesn't work it's been not working for 5 years so what would you like to see the european commission president yesterday said she would present proposals to the parliament by the end of the month what would you like to see in that we need to

make it clear choice either we have no boundaries within the european union and strong boundaries outside of the european union we abolish the free movement of people within the european union and if germany if the german people would like to host more asylum seekers then they should do so but i know that my people and many other peoples are fed up with this mass migration so i think the europe the european commission still to finally start to listen to what the people are demanding and what what they are demanding is 0 migration. tom violent member of the european parliament thank you for joining the w thank you but take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world colleagues of russian opposition leader alexei in the valley have released a video in which they claim he was poisoned in his siberian hotel room rather than have their forces previously thought the traces of the nerve agent not veto which

a 2nd time the decision has divided the nation initially hailed for successfully curbing the pandemic early israel has now become one of the countries with the highest infection rates but capita. just a few hours before the country goes into its 2nd prolonged lockdown people in this market here in jerusalem rushing to get their shopping done the lockdown comes at the start of one of the most important holidays on the jewish new year starting friday israelis who only be allowed to venture 500 meters from their home the finalist of fistric sins and exemptions published on thursday islam the new lockdown comes as the country has seen infection rates rise dramatically the new rules will keep israelis and told me except for going out to cover basic needs to go out for shopping or to go to work schools malls portentous will be shuttered and restaurants will only be allowed to do deliveries. this follows weeks of erratic

decision making by the government its handling of the corona crisis has been sharply criticized in recent weeks i think it's going to be hard after one knock down i think most people are just kind of tired of it they see it as mainly political more than a public health issue. and especially now with the whole days it seems that you know just a lot more people are not going to. not going to follow the rules because. they have better share share of the food and everybody's and rage and there's a sense of confusion i feel it is a mistake it wasn't quite prepared it was no exit strategy from the last look down and now we enter another cycle of home i'd say. and they have i think it's unnecessary mostly because a lot of loopholes not to keep it and i don't know if my daughter will be allowed to work or man husband i don't know what's open and what is not but the for now the

lockdown is expected to last at least 3 weeks leaving israelis worry that the country could be in for an extended. down period. in sports last season germany's ponderously who was the 1st major football league to return following the outbreak of the pandemic the new season kicks off this weekend with 2 clubs promoted to the big stage including on media bielefeld being upheld has the league smallest budget and won't be able to host fans for their return to the top of the w.'s max mantle paid the underdogs a visit. to the filled up back in the bundesliga again after cruising to promotion last season the entire city is behind the club and the team is gearing up for their 1st game this side used to be known as an elevated club going up and down every other season but they actually haven't been in the bundesliga since 2009 and even spent time in the 3rd division but after

a bomb on storming lee dominant display last year when they only lost 2 games back in the big time at the training ground the players seem up for the challenge but can they avoid relegation they'll have to get used to being underdogs again. yeah i think that's absolutely the go to go down. if we do our job i think the quality is better than a lot of people expect. then i think we will play with his. media have never won any major titles and yet they've still made it into the history books they currently share a the record for most promotions to the bundesliga but what they really want to avoid is becoming the lone record holder for most relegations and it's going to be an uphill task because they have the lowest budget in the division . but what an underdog team needs most is the support of fans due to coronavirus measures below felt's home stadium won't be full for the forseeable future. you

miss the fans the feeling on the pitch is like the emotion it's absolutely not the same it will be a tough season for bealefeld on their return to. germany's top division they hope team spirit and chemistry will carry them that may just suffice in order for them to stay on the big stage with the league smallest budget. said joe of today his 19th special is next i'll be back at the top i'll be good to. combating the pandemic. where does research stand. what are scientists learning. background information and news. hour carona update. 19 special next on d w. grappling with subjects. expressed felix

i am not very creative yet but i would love to be considered an artist monday looking for new perspectives. to it and not the way players break through the camera doing things differently. come to the place where we reflect on society. on the top of. the world of virus doesn't discriminate that was a common refrain at the beginning of the pandemic. but people and systems do in the us the virus is magnifying existing social ills and inequalities statistics show that black americans are more likely to die from the virus than whites. worldwide it is america 1st in total cases and deaths experts point to the countries lack of

pandemic preparation and the political division over prevention measures. with case numbers gradually falling once again can the u.s. . ward off another spike of infections and dads that fall disproportionately on its most vulnerable. hello and welcome to doors of those coven 1000 special. it's good to have you with us one foot in one foot out depending on the very weak us president donald trump's response to even his very belief in the novel coronavirus seems the change of the pandemic may remain an inconvenience for the president but for many americans it's a harrowing saga. around 40000 americans are still becoming infected with covert 1000 every day nearly 200000 people in the usa have so far died from the consequences of or with the virus the worst affected are poor u.s.

citizens especially african-americans and the system at the beginning of the pandemic nobody expected it to go like this not even the u.s. president. initially played down the danger of the virus ignoring the warnings of health officials. it's going to disappear one day it's like a miracle it will disappear looks like by april you know in theory when it gets a little warmer miraculously goes away i hope that's true. but the number of infections has risen rapidly and the u.s. has become the country but the most coronavirus cases worldwide. new york hospitals were pushed to the limit shortly after individual governors began to lock down their states in march trump raised hopes that the country would open up soon. hopeful to have americans working. again by their easter that beautiful easter day . meanwhile americans have had to deal with wildly differing statements like to get

trump's advice often blankly contradicts the recommendations of his health officials in this way he ignored by stu where a face mask in public for a long time instead he made fun of his democratic rival joe biden for appearing in a mosque at her memorial day event on top of this trumpet spread misinformation for example that children are immune to cope with 19 or suggesting that injecting disinfectant could work as a treatment. and then i see the disinfectant if not in a minute. injection. or almost a cleaning towns it sounds interesting to me so much don't think lazer he explained there mark was meant ironically when the number of cases rose in june and july after the initial easing the president adopted a different tone. resuming his daily coronavirus briefings trump expressing recommended wearing masks and i will use even recommended against going to bars and i say if you can use the mess. then this moment came another surprise

us journalist robert woodward's latest book rage hit the bookshelves the books that trump new covert 1000 was deadlier than the flu in february i. think it goes through air that's always tougher than the touch another touch you don't have to touch things right but the air you just breathe the air that's you know it's cast yet so that's a very tricky one that's a very delicate one. the message was a perfect point of attack for by. your own presidential election takes place in early november over $100.00 out of comp ain appearance in michigan biden summed up his views. but experts say that if you'd acted just just one week suitor 36000 people would have been say if we acted 2 weeks souter back in march 54000 lives would have been spared march and april alone. and so the

usa remains the country with the highest number of infections in the world the number of unemployed after months of lockdown in many states remains high. let's take a closer look at just how disproportionately the pandemic has hit american communities . these numbers are from the midwestern state of wisconsin where white residents make up 80 percent of the population but 67 percent of infections are by comparison black residents make up only 6 percent of the population but 11 percent of current infection and close to 20 percent of deaths a simmer just similar disproportionality with hispanics we should note however that the ethnic category hispanic can overlap with white and black. or i was doing a little deeper into this with joshua room he's an assistant professor at the university of wisconsin in madison where he studies the sociology of public health

josh good to have you with us to help us put this disparity in perspective why are minorities more likely to get covert and die from it in wisconsin. well the answer to that question is really based on the intertwining of racism in capitalism in the united states if we take a step back and you really think of any group and you limit the places they can live and you limit the places they can work and you limit their transportation and you limit their wealth and you do that for a long enough keep period of time you segregate them and then you introduce a pandemic these are the sorts of effects you're going to see in any group and that's what we've done in the united states we've racialized that we've created the racial hierarchy and this is what we've done to to black people to brown people to indigenous people we disenfranchised them we just invested in them disinvested in their neighborhoods in their workplaces we have literally destroyed their homes

their businesses their livelihoods really their lives their bodies and we have done this over a long period of time that's the american experience that's the american experiment and if you keep running that same experiment over a long enough period of time you were going to get the same results over hundreds of years you're going to get these results when a pandemic emerges the pandemic does not create new realities on the ground in terms of the racial realities of the united states it simply exacerbates the existing realities the existing inequalities and that's what we've been seeing in the country and that's what we've been seeing in wisconsin especially in the city of milwaukee i just want to set the social benefits play a role in the access or lack of access to social benefits such as health insurance or paid care paid top paid leave time i should say. absolutely it's enormous and that's enormous universally but again what we've done in this country is that we have created the racial order in which the people who are most likely not to have

access to those benefits which are not universal anyhow are ethnic and racial minorities so they are people they are brown people people of color engaging those people they are on average less likely to have access to those exact benefits and as as as anyone could guess if you don't have access to health care or health insurance if you don't have access to some sort of secure income a guaranteed income or to food or to housing or any of these things you are going to suffer when a pandemic hits that carves out the basics of life in many ways and creates these difficulties for some people and might argue this is about more about poverty urban poverty or socio economic status you would say that those 2 things socio economic status and race here in the u.s. are much more tied together untethered together and that's why we see these results is that fair to say absolutely from the beginning that's the history of this country is the intertwining the tethering of race and and political economy of race

and economics you cannot understand the story of the united states without understanding how racism and capitalism are inextricably connected and have been from the start. just room with the university of wisconsin thank you very much. thank you for i know it's time for your questions to our science correspondent williams. can you contract covert 19 through a blood transfusion. in general diseases that primarily affects the respiratory system are not known to be transmitted via blood transfusions and according to national health authorities like the w.h.o. and the european center for disease prevention and control there have been no documented cases so far of that happening with copd 19 and despite that reassurance lots of people have worried about this question i think because of the reports that

the virus can cause blood clotting particularly in later stages of the disease but it looks like that symptom though indirectly driven by the virus is actually probably directly due to 2 deadly cascades that it sets in motion in the immune system that lead to hyperactivity in blood clotting cells not by viruses in your bloodstream that said since a few studies have shown traces of virus in a small percentage of blood samples from people who caught cove at 19 most organizations that take blood donations are now also taking a lot of precautionary measures as they collect it probably now check your temperature before you donate for starters and you should also expect to fill out a questionnaire detailing your travel history if you've had over 19 and when how you felt in the last 4 weeks and whether you're aware of any possible exposures and

of course if you test positive for the virus any time within a few weeks after donation you should definitely inform the collecting agency all those precautions i think make sense but but in general if transfusions were a common way to pass on this disease i believe that by. now we've heard of of many cases where it happens and we happened. all right our science expert derek williams there with the answers to your questions and finally how about a coven free flight that's what italy's flag carry out tallia is promising some flights between rome and milan are going to be tagged only for passengers who have tested negative for the coronavirus either undergo testing at rome's airport or they show proof of a negative test in the last 72 hours before departure and i'll tell you says it might expand the measures to other routes as well. all
