resurgence of anti-semitism in the country. union movement was moved. it was an occasion to mourn and reflect for survivors for the bereaved and for germany the ceremony and hala st. mark the anniversary of an anti semitic attack that evokes germany's darkest history. i don't ya just forgotten a year has passed already a year just a year or 2 a year ago today and nightmare came true here in holland in broad daylight in the middle of germany in germany of all places i was conversion it into explained. earlier in the day the city came to

a standstill for several minutes as people took a moment to remember the victims. in the courtyard of the synagogue a new memorial was unveiled the head of germany's central council of jews said the attacker had failed in his mission there to to work to divert damage but perpetrator wanted to impress the world by killing people who in his mind have no right to live how but he did not convince us of his inhumane ideas he did not impress anyone on the contrary. it was one year ago that a far right extremist attempted to shoot his way into the synagogue his intention to kill worshipers marking young kapoor but the people inside was saved by a wooden door that wouldn't breach instead the assailant gunned down a female parts of by and a man at a kebab shop. attacks against jews have been on the rise in germany recently the

german president said it was up to all germans to fight anti semitism. and his image is most anti semitism as a canary in the coal mine but for the state of our democracy but the more overtly it is expressed the more of values of tolerance and respect for human dignity are under attack and before. you turn left many germans wondering how widespread far right extremist views are in germany the commemoration in holland was a chance to remember the victims but also to reflect on those concerns. d.w. correspondent friday was then hala for the ceremony it was a song the day in hell is the city mark one year since the terrible attack it was a day not only to remember the victims of the shooting but to also show a sign of solidarity with the jewish community both here in heller but also across

the country so memorial services took a more critical stance highlighting again the failures made by police in the investigation after the attack but also the blind eye that have been turned towards far right extremism in germany for many years during his speech at a memorial service in this concert hall behind me german president frank files a steinmeyer reminded german society that it had a responsibility to protect the rights and values that germany stands for and to stand up as well against any kind of hatred in the country if we stand together we are strong he said. take brady reporting. german chancellor and going to the mass of a level of excess of the country's biggest cities have agreed a package of new measures to help the spread of the coronavirus germany fears a growing 2nd wave of the pandemic after infection rates in several cities including balin and frankfurt past a king threshold and triggered tighter restrictions from her office in berlin

angela merkel's video conference with the mayors of key cities sent the message germany urgently needs to prevent corona spreading in urban centers be a lesbian yet or think we aren't sense that the big cities there haven't areas and now the area now there we will see if we can keep the pandemic and control in germany as we have done for months so for if we lose control this that is precisely where we are right now it cannot and the important thing is to contain the virus the mare's agreed a tough new framework it could see experts from germany's armed forces and the national disease control body sent into cities if the 7 day infection rate rises above 35 per 100000 residents their job would be to focus on contact tracing cities where that infection number is above 50 will require people to wear masks in public spaces and there will also be limits on alcohol sales and socialising berlin and

frankfurt have already reached that threshold and experts are worried the situation could deteriorate as it has in some other countries the experience in other cities it's like. but look into the future if we are not ready. to act on the problem now especially in cities and the element of this activity is to inform the general public to abort mis information and to rely on the corporation off of the general public including the younger people many young people in berlin's bars of not yet change their behavior from saturday people in the capital will only be able to socialize in groups of 5 more if they're from only one or 2 households. you know we have a rule which allows us to take action very quickly because we're saying very clearly these places must be closed from 11 pm it's easy to see if

a bar is still open or not if it is action can be taken quickly kind of and a shot to get young people may find it hard to take a break from their social lives but as the chancellor appealed to them to observe the rules she also offered reassurance a list but so with everything the return parties nights out fun without corona but what matters now is something out some respect and teledyne it's on my it and if the rise in infections is not halted within 10 days the mayors have agreed to impose even stricter measures. or that report was produced by the dublin political correspondent simon young who joins us now welcome simon so is germany starting to lose its grip on the pandemic. well the situation's worrying fill for 2 days in a row now the number of new infections across germany has been more than 4000 and the 7 day our number which tells you roughly how fast the d.

the disease is spreading is now up to 1.37 so compared with some other european countries these numbers are not high. france for instance has had 20000 new infections in the last 24 hours but these are much higher numbers than we've been seeing here in germany for the past several months and it is troubling i think because we are now entering the colder part of the year when people will be spending more time indoors those fears that that will massively boost the likely infection rates and so there is concern the current trend is a rapid spread of the virus and that's why we're seeing a cities across germany taking more drastic measures and you mention in your in your report the possible involvement of german armed forces in what capacity. you know what the the mayors of the 11 the large cities have agreed is that if they

need to in other words if the infection rates go up they can call on the armed forces the bundeswehr in particular to help with contact tracing of course that's quite personnel intensive work going through lists and checking names and in particular in those cities where perhaps infections have gone up sharply that could also of course affect local government employees so there may be a shortage of personnel this is the kind of work the soldiers can be brought in in short order to do the buddhist fair have been helping in the last few months in some cases with with testing programs also they've got some hospital capacity that they've made available so this is just making sure that those resources continue to be available going forward ok so lots of action being taken now how far how bad is

the situation how far is germany from a 2nd national lockdown. well the chancellor was very clear again today that she desperately wants to avoid that she wants to avoid a return to the strict measures that were in place in the spring of course germany never had quite as drastic a lot down as some other countries did but there were restrictions imposed in particular on schools and businesses some of which have since been lifted in the chancellor said it's incredibly important that you know to keep the businesses open as far as possible to keep schools and kindergartens open as far as possible and her argument was it will be more bearable for people to put up with a few restrictions and not being able to go out late night drinking and so on for a few months if they remember that much more important is their education and the likelihood of their ability to get a job and to enjoy

a strong economy in the years ahead and that's why she's pleading for people to obey the rules now simon thank you for that too there will be political correspondent simon you know. now we'll take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world that the government in space has declared a state of emergency in the capital madrid because of a rapid increase in the number of coronavirus cases the government overruled regional all thor says in order to enforce a partial lockdown in the capital and the surrounding region the country's health minister said the measures were necessary to prevent madrid's high infection rate affecting the rest of spain. white house officials say u.s. president donald trump will speak at an me personally event on saturday it comes after a spokeswoman for the president said that he will be tested for coverage 19 of the vote go out in public. that he can still spread the virus. the foreign ministers of azerbaijan and armenia have met for talks in moscow following nearly 2 weeks of

around the world and in latin america and the caribbean as well. and what difference will winning this award make to the work of the w half pay. one thing that is really important is that hunger is really driving coffee and it's also a cause and effect as well so when there's a lot of turmoil whether it's conflict or climate change or economic shocks including. did as well we tend to forget other things and we see hunger really increasing dramatically how crossan we're in the latin american the k.g.b. and specifically 400 percent compared to last year and we hope that this shifts a light on the needs that we have to really feed those people those millions of people who are really really struggling right now. perhaps you could give an example of one of the projects. but you're most proud of there in latin america and

the u.s. to abandon its cold war mentality and ideological prejudice. japan says the quad aims to promote regional peace and prosperity and members say that includes upholding democracy and the international order global recovery we believe in a region governed by roots not power we believe in the fundamental importance of individual rights and in a region in which in which disputes are resolved according to international law the analysts point out that quad numbers all have their own individual interests in their relations with china. but it's also possible the group could form the basis of a nato like alliance to contain a rival power. so all of the day's top stories now starting in nigeria where police have fired tear gas at people protesting against police brutality hundreds of demonstrators rally it after a video showed the killing of
