loads of tick tock and we chop from sunday to white house says chinese about cops could be used to spy on american citizens. as fire rages through brazil's remote wetlands that begins to earth but as soon falls on our own place down the dangers even as climate scientists raise their long. time film welcome to the program israelis re-imposing a full nationwide lockdown with authours is saying it's the only way to slow soaring corona virus infections the measures will severely restrict movement for 3 weeks and come into effect as the country marks a jewish new year but critics fear that the new restrictions will hit an economy already battered by. closures the 1st time around. midday in

jerusalem shortly before festivities get underway it's a wash question are the jewish new year but the streets are empty. the country 2nd lockdown has just begun and despite the festive season visits to relatives in other neighborhoods are banned israel has been registering around 6000 new covered cases a day in a country of 9000000 people that's a lot and it gives it one of the highest rates of infection in the world according to the prime minister health care officials have declared code red. in the last 2 days with witnessed another alarming increase in morbidity and a continued increase in the number of critically ill patients. when the money is the made in light at the mortality rate and as many of the experts have recommended we may have no choice but to tighten the guidelines.

many accuse netanyahu of ending the 1st lockdown to worley and in doing so setting up a 2nd wave of infections the crisis hit the economy including small businesses across the country hard. it will hurt us because businesses continue to pay full rent no $1.00 helps us with the extra expenses and the workers are home to 3 weeks of closure will be very significant for us with it and you know they must i don't know if this closure will help or not we will know the result only after it's over but if there's no change in the behavior of people then it isn't worth it this long down is currently expected to last for 3 weeks meaning it will affect a number of major holidays thousands of police officers are being deployed to enforce the measures and the prime minister netanyahu has already said that if the situation worsens even tougher restrictions could be imposed. and we take a look at some of the other developments in this global health emergency british

prime minister boris johnson says a 2nd wave of the corona virus is now inevitable in the u.k. distractions in parts of england have been tightened but he says he wants to avoid a 2nd a full scale lockdown spain has introduced fresh curbs on travel in areas badly affected by new surgeon infections it currently has the highest number of cases in western europe and france has registered a record increase in conflict 19 cases 113000 over the last day. margaret how to speak for the world health organization and joins us from geneva welcome to the as you just heard that we have cases spiking in france spain and the u.k. here in the europe how concerned are you about the european situation. good evening yes we take the concerned about european situation in the northern hemisphere because as we know it with. him is he's about to enter the colder months

where it's much harder to search the distance because people tend to crowd into smaller spaces to keep warm and we know that that's the worst thing you can do you need to keep your distance you need to avoid contact and you need to avoid being in crowded closed spaces with ventilation so of course the hospitals tend to get overcrowded with other illnesses in the cold amounts so we are really saying no it's the tying to suppress transmission so water. as we go into the winter months what should those governments in the northern hemisphere be focusing on. really getting the message to the people that it is in the hands of every one of us every person needs to be a coronavirus and how do you do that you're serious about social distancing that means when if you're going to socialize you socialize distantly you don't hang out

together in crowds you really rush your hands so you ensure that it's possible for people to wash their hands when they get out of public transport when they go into the office when they go into a shop should be the means to clean your hands every way and because we are going to be crowd circumstances. must. we talk about situation in europe where you're seeing spikes the way we've seen the report there from israel where they're going into a 2nd national lockdown why always seeing these dramatic spikes one thing appear to be happening at the same time. really began in the middle of some people did tremendous went straight tremendous hardship going through the lock downs which when governments decide to lock down the society they're doing it because they have so much transmission hospitals are overwhelmed so the idea the reason for doing that is to sort of put everything on bring the transmission down

so you could restart unfortunately the message that seemed to be received was everything's over that. it's no back to normal learning the new safe way to live with corona virus and that opportunity was missed transmission began to rise in the middle of the european summer and it is now exhilarating well thank you for joining us margaret harris from the world health organization. and the news just doesn't look any better in india which now looks set to overtake the united states in having the highest number of coronavirus cases in the world despite surging past 5000000 infections india's decided to reopen schools for senior students from next week schools can only open with cover protections in place but many parents are still not convinced their children will be safe. how that he has

spent the past 6 months almost entirely at 1. 118 she says has been quite done when she's not studying or competing her assignment she's watching films and spending time with her twin sister. a senior at school and he has been taking all her classes online. which has become the norm since schools across the country have been shut for the past 6 months due to corbett but for our studying online has not been as efficient as going to school or in school we really want to do it in way much but all we can want to know that much because sometimes they're going to be john laws we can't be able to hear the teachers and or we can't really write any northstar trees given because again the connection problem is so many problems after a long gap in government is now going to come with school to partially open from

september 21st. but only for senior students who need guidance from teachers and on a completely one to lead basis many schools are still in the process of finalizing their reopening strategies and the safety measures that they will be taking which include not allowing students to use public transport cutting down on the school time reduced classroom strengths and multiple entry and exit points among other regular measures some schools have started giving orientation classes to the students under the rules they need to follow it did it down to the classroom. but at a time when the public uses in the country are skyrocketing this move is proving to be a challenge for schools there may be some sort of. north before this thing and reconnect to keep our eyes on them or look at them so that this is a turn and then another oh yes there is are these so expensive on. the court now with this of the immigrations and their system provided we're staying see went up with us not the school. in prescott so. guidelines given by the government have

done little to reassure parents and students about this if to. give us 100 percent sure after. we see if they have missed us with a look and i think people. in my circle. mark in favor of sending that account. despite the passionate reopening of schools next week school administrations and the government are still encouraging students to stick to online classes. i did the school will not open its doors for a couple of the. but even when it does she will not be going she said she misses attending classes and being with her friends added the north it is not good season now to be done just. fine let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world around 5000

migrants have moved into a new count in the greek island of lesbos but thousands more are still sleeping out in the open after fires destroyed the notoriously overcrowded morea refugee facility most are using to move into the new county. officials in california have been forced evacuation orders as a wildfire known as the bobcat fire rages in los angeles county emergency services say the blaze is only partially contained at least 34 people have been killed by pfizer in the western u.s. in recent weeks. later now do 19 safe synagogue in time for traditional jewish new year ceremonies facility allows the community to celebrate russia while myself while the spectator coronavirus prevention measures. the u.s. has announced plans to ban the use of the mobile apps to talk and to be chat citing national security concerns downloading the chinese own ups in the u.s.

will be blocked from sunday in the form of the use of tick tock due to come into effect in mid november president trump says he's concerned the tick tocks parent company could pass data on u.s. citizens to the chinese government however the ban might be canceled if the trumpet ministration agrees to a deal between tick tocks chinese owners and u.s. investors. let's explore this further with mature sec atom and he's an expert on online regulation germ research brad dow institute welcome to d.w. arctic talk threats to national security as president trump says. in a word no but it's a bit more complicated than the last time i was here in may when we talked about section 2300 or you know the liability exception or platforms then he did it just for politics now he has a bit of a point but the content moderation practices and its handling of user data that

problematic is not the reason he's doing that he's doing that because of the chinese province and that's the crux of the matter at the core it remains a political decision whether or not to bend the apple the procedures arbitrary the data supporting his decision is sketchy but that doesn't matter because under the u.s. constitution law he has the authority in matters of national security so that if there's a regime that you talked about he's probably about about the providence so you're saying the fact that he's easy opened in china. exactly that is. undoubtedly a challenge. the handling of tick tock the use of data and its terms of serve it states that data collected overseas while stored in u.s. servers can be shared with its parent company by them but again that's not the reason why it's doing that. as far as you're concerned this is this is political so

if if downloading the apps is banned from sunday how's that going to affect the 10s of millions of us users who already have it on their phones. but for the moment they will not be able to get security patches they won't be able to get other updates. we chat users will for all intents and purposes no longer be able to use their app at all but at least until mid november to toyota's will continue to be able to use the app just without the latest security patches which would be which is a problem. of fact the next up past is general manager of tech talk in the u.s. we're just going to take a look at what she tweeted today she said this type of ban would be bad for the industry and she invited facebook and instagram to join a tick tocks challenge this is the moment to put aside the competition and focus on core principles like freedom of expression she said i don't i wonder can you see facebook joining tick-tock fight i couldn't agree more with her for

facebook so it's a really dangerous president the how it's not it's not in the interest at all of facebook that the the government uses its political power to shut up nurse and to claim national security as justification for that so do you think facebook is going to get involved in this. i think it won't get involved more than with statements what facebook could do right now i just do european governments have similar concerns about tech talk well partially if you look at europe some companies some some countries have banned another or another tenney's company way sweden colon the czech republic or baltics i followed the u.s. approach there but that is related to infrastructure regarding a tick tock we don't see any any band on the horizon there there the european

approach is different if you look at the european court of human rights they have just peeved could have just as they're just in balad it's. right for you. data to be transferred to u.s. companies which is something of a problem for facebook rather the european approach is a brother looking at the courts talk of you thank you for helping us through that time as you say cattlemen from a german is a brave institute. it's about a ruse to 1st say they have been at least 500 incidences of state torture united nations human rights council calling for free access for journalists the government of president alexander lukashenko has rejected the demand as interference in internal affairs he's now threatening to close bell better roosters board has been poland and lithuania. many scenes near the polish border russia and belarus

conducting joint military exercises according to our xander look i think oh neighboring poland and lithuania are on the verge of starting a war he's threatening to close the borders. but at the moment. we are forced to withdraw troops from the streets of the army on high alert and close our western borders primarily with lithuania and poland. but appears if you will see if we were forced to strengthen our borders. we see that it's good for datsun moved around youthful. poland is considering sanctions against the us the lithuanian foreign minister sees lucas and goes moves as pure desperation does that mean that i mean this is truly unnerving in the sense that this is an inadequate reaction to the situation by an inadequate personal as the only thing one can say all assessments and comments lead to this rational observation unfortunately this is the reality

and one hopes very much that this will not lead to something unforeseen as well. as seen. from exile in the way any illiteracy an opposition leader taken off sky took part in the un human rights council's urgent debate on the situation in belarus. she denounced torture arrests and deaths in her homeland. in a d.-w. interview in the un special rapporteur on human rights in belarus of confirms the accusations down in europe is this a real threat this is already goes beyond the sovereignty of the states because it has tortures and they start international community and they really request some reaction or action because there is for in this gratian of violence which could this study lays international security peace and security then the this weekend will make clear whether the question coheres the demands of u.n.

experts for an immediate end to the violence against demonstrators as in the last few weeks tens of thousands of people in belarus are again preparing to take to the streets against him. for the whole food program is warning that millions of people are at risk of starvation because of conflict and covered 19 about 3 dozen countries including yemen a facing i found there a yemen of course 5 years of civil war have left the country facing the world's worst humanitarian catastrophe every day doctors watch helplessly as children die of malnutrition. hope is all they have left in this hospital ward. machines and medicine aren't enough to replace what the children so desperately need food. it's an agony some mothers know all too well. i get it that i'm very scared i'm going to

lose her just like i lost my other daughter. the u.n. says 3 quarters of yemen's population relies on food aid and gaps in funding have made them even more vulnerable war has ravaged the country and the pandemic has compound at the crisis. the u.n. says that despite these challenges there is still hope. but history proves that even in the midst of conflict famine carried prevention and in order to prevent it we must act. and we have to act in time to make a difference. unfortunately in too many places. time is now running out. time has run out for her daughter. another victim of malnutrition.

because those are something that we've done. but only with. but medical staff here can only give comfort as yemen slides towards famine. brazil's president child ball scenario has played down the wildfires now raging through fast stretches of rain forest and wetlands critics. excuse me critics say he's pro-business stance as emboldened those who destroyed the forest for mining and land plants federal police suspect fama signalling to a major fire now burning through the pond on its largest wetland. for weeks now catastrophic forest fires have ravaged the pantano nature reserve destroying a unique ecosystem in the process. the director of the reserve has watched

helplessly as more of the protected area burns each day. last year alone $10000.00 hectares of forest burnt to the ground this year it's been 3 times that much it's a huge loss. this area is one of the most bio diverse places in the world tourists flock here to see endangered animals in the wild like the terrible stork. and jaguars. these are the worst fires the area has seen in over a decade further north fires are also raging in the amazon rain forest many of them started illegally to clear forest for farming the smoke from those fires has spread to cities with devastating effects for the health of locals but farmers know there are. consequences for illegally starting fires brazil's president careful so narrow undermines protections. n.g.o.s get money from abroad but they don't have a chance fighting me i'll continue to fight and kill this cancerous tumor that is

the environmental protection agency. bus a narrow dispatch the military to the amazon to help battle the fires the same military that carved roads through it and directed settlements during the military dictatorship from 1964 to 1905 critics fear brazil's military could create a permanent presence in the rain forest. they'll be no militarization of the rain forest just here in a logistical capacity for example our helicopters are used to battle the fires. it's likely that after the fires agriculture here will expand including more fields for products like soybeans and meat bound for the european market that's why environmentalist are calling for e.q. laws that would protect brazil against further deforestation every day the flames reach further and the area is in dire need of rain but none is expected for at least several weeks. let's cross to brazil where we join the journalist i'm meant

to. stay to welcome it. and. for weeks despite the best efforts of the. us why. at 1st it's really dry here we have an extreme dry season this year we are in the end of the dry season actually in most of the brazilian rain forest areas and yeah the. second there are the fires didn't stop because they were set in september new fires were set farmers did in many places we saw and the firefighters just try to avoid the fires reach houses and villages in the amazon region so it's really difficult for them to fight them and as you can see behind me they sort of smoke around us everywhere in this region on the nearby street if you go 120300 kilometers you can see

a lot of smoke everywhere here in this amazon region of. why our farm was setting fires but then run out of control. they tried to gain land they tried to expand their cattle farm areas and everywhere in brazil because it's a it's a business which can be really good for them they exported they bring into the big companies which trade the meat everywhere in the world also to europe so there's a lot of benefit on this business so he'd try to expand and the plant not a region for example the drop is really really tough and it's the worst in 40 years and the water level was much lower than it was in the last years so this drought is really a tragedy and it might be we already climate factor scientists say that the differentiation the amazonas might as separate this prose has even more so because i don't quite

understand you saying that this is no practice for farmers to set these fires but they would normally expect them to be controlled but this time things have just got out of congress. there are a lot of fires from farmers to clean their land which are do not get out of control but yes that's the suppressors which has been seen in many years recently it's common here as they say but it's now as huge as never before him people say in the last 5 years these fires intensified and the smoke as you can see here is intense for many weeks so it affects the health of the people living here so it's really stronger than before let's see. i bet and brazil's para states thank you. obviously doubling yourself liar from the not top story of israel's pot under full

nationwide lockdown just as a country celebrates jewish community and authorities say its only way to slow soaring coronavirus infections. on us is announced a ban on tick tock until we chat citing national security concerns downloading the chinese own absolutely blocked in america from sunday with a full band to follow in the. by washington the many years lie from dublin i'll be back in a couple of minutes to take you behind the headlines in the day of the vote more world news at the top of the other good.
