that what resulted from that closure was kind of a cat and mouse game between protesters and police. and he was actually ordered aiding protesters and the movement of protesters on the social media platform telegrams they were writing to protesters where to go next whenever one meeting place became unavailable or there were loads of arrests happening there they would move somewhere else and at one point we saw just how big the crowd was as they were moving back towards the center really seen hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people were marching towards us peacefully marching towards the center despite the fact that they risked being arrested today in the capital. despite the fact that the reserve course there's a risk of being arrested and we've already seen some of the. arrests why is that the people haven't stopped going out and i think everyone who came

to this protest today and also the protests last week knew that it wasn't authorized by the authorities here they knew that there had been last week you know there was a pretty big crackdown on the opposition here already so everyone knew the risk that they were taking many of the people that i spoke to today said that he was not the actual reason that they came out in a way he was he was more of a catalyst for them so yes they were calling for his release but in a way he's become kind of a safe symbol of the fact that there isn't as they say here as the protesters say a rule of law in russia many people i spoke to said they're just fed up with the corruption in the ruling elite here and they want a better life they were complaining about the economic conditions as well and kind of pushing for something better for a better future. i mean sure when in moscow. germany

and austria are offering to help portugal deal with one of the world's worst covered 19 outbreaks portugal has the highest number of deaths per inhabitant of any country germany's military is sending medical aid and doctors austria is preparing to take in some of portugal's critically ill patients portuguese doctors say the situation is becoming desperate. tight check that portugal's border is at this entry point into spain only those with a valid reason are allowed through. portugal had seen a period of relatively relaxed restrictions now people are confined to their homes except boy central outings nursery schools shops and cafes the shot the government has entered crisis mode. i think it could be even stricter there are still too many people on the streets isn't going to give us that many portuguese still haven't understood that we've gone from being a good corona country to one of the worse than the simple puzzles that appeal.

portugal's intensive care units a straining some hospitals are running out of bed sick over 1000 patients others are short of medical staff or oxygen supplies long lines of ambulances have formed outside some clinics many patients have to wait hours until doctors decide whether they can be admitted it and where. we have never before tree are just like we're doing now sometimes we're having to treat people in the ambulances and that's it for us authorities say the highly infectious virus variant 1st found in britain has caused hof of all cases in greater lisbon some patients have been airlifted from overstretched mainland hospitals to the madeira islands more than a 1000 kilometers away. while germany is sending its military the boneless fat to hell cordial and reporter jill dougherty is following the story for us hi joel now

what are the persistence are the bundestag the german military town to provide so i've been talking to a spokesman from the point is there he's been telling me that an exploratory team has been on the ground in portugal over the past few days assessing the situation which of course is dire and now the military has to decide how and when and what kind of support it will give that decision will be coming imminently but the message is it will go as soon as possible what's likely to be sent world military medical personnel for starters as well as a quick moment such as the ventilators i.v. drip. medication and protective gear now the real question is how much can germany says they're already there around 17000 post and on the ground here in germany helping the pandemic response and they'll have to see how many they can actually send to portugal. the spokesman for the bonus red said that any person who will 1st have to be vaccinated against cove 19 and several 1000 have already received the 1st shot and it's not the 1st time that the blizzard has been called in to help

other countries that went into the czech republic and it also helped lift patients out of northern israeli also to mention austria is going to airlift and treat seriously littlepage patients from portugal all right so portugal is just one of europe's pandemic struggles and there is of course you mentioned vaccine there the production of the vaccine now is senior german politicians are proposing that the government should use emergency powers to boost the supply tell us a little bit more about that yeah the vaccine market is fundamentally broken and the state must intervene now those are the words of marcos search he is the state premier from the state of bavaria he was speaking in developed newspaper and he says that much trust has been lost between the government and pharmaceutical companies as a broken supply contracts and he has proposed a state lead agency vaccine economy to boost production is also spoken in favor of the use of the russian and chinese vaccines here if they have proven safe and effective now it is not a federal politician but he is very influential because he's in the governing

coalition c.d.u. c.s.u. he's and he's also spoken of as a future chancellor candidate his words in on this regard have also received support from a leader of the green party showing that there is cross party consensus we've seen that in the united states the president joe biden has used the defense production act to to boost the supply of vaccines there and so now the question is will the german government follows suit well joel deliver i'm sure you'll be keeping us all up to date on the thanks for your reporting there. now to some other stories making headlines around the world a world health organization team investigating the origins of covert 19 has visited a market in china where the coronavirus was 1st attacked as the seafood market has been shut for a year and the visit took place under tight security. 8 afghan security personnel have been killed in an attack claimed by the taliban

correspondent kong and who's in hong kong now how are people in hong kong reacting to the u.k. visa scheme are many people day are likely to take advantage of it. well many hoho residents on the ground they welcome the rather generous offer by the u.k. government lifeboat scheme for them to leave the toiletry. the political climate on the ground it's was something they buy they for many of the people here and possibly that will be over $5000000.00 a whole residence. for plying for the emigration scheme food at the end the whole passport scheme of the u.k. government that accounts for over 70 percent of the population as well for this game and i though not everyone will take action the u.k. administration has asked that made at that in the next 5 years that will be at

least $250000.00 peoples to do so and what about china's reaction c.b. the foreign ministry says it will no longer recognise the british national overseas passport as a travel document can we expect some retaliatory measures against the u.k. . yes you're right so far beijing has announced that they will stop recognizing the yellow pos fought starting from today so this fast day off the skin. and so from today to hong kong and also beijing thought it will no longer allow any home residents to leave the border without being no passports are though they are still allowed to do so with their own hong kong travel documents so many see this as a political and diplomatic chance sure to retaliate britain's offer to hong kong residence but there are so room as on the cloud that many of. the now they're not suggesting that beijing or parties to voted to broke the civil rights of residents

who would take that offer specially maybe to cannes so there is actual rice to up bands and voting or run in office or even their rights. to a more extreme extent so many here that this will only be the 1st act for beijing to raise the push to push back of your case and beijing is trying to do so to send a message to hong kong residents who would take the offer from the u.k. that they may face consequences or even more serious consequences by doing so c.b. kong in hong kong. a film festival in sweden has come up with a unique competition prize featuring social distancing got some birds festival is transporting the winner to a small island where she will get to watch this year's films in total solitude. heading out for an unusual movie adventure lisa in the root will spend 7 days in

a presence in more than 70 countries worldwide its goal is to help refugees and vulnerable people victims of war was a natural disaster as. in 2012 qatar charity set up a european subsidiary in london 2 years later the office was inaugurated in the affluent mayfair district. but how benevolent is the n.g.o.s mission really might there be another agenda altogether behind the taj charity. in late 2016 an anonymous whistleblower sent us a u.s.b. flash drive that revealed a program with murky objectives. in the memory stick a thousands of confidential qatar charity documents bank transfers e-mail exchanges don't know lists. the collection unveils the existence of

a huge hit to unknown funding operation for an extensive network of islamic associations across europe. and out of 140 projects worth more than 216000000 euros qatar charity is the main contributor accounting for 120000000 euros. several countries are the focus of attention italy with $47.00 projects from $22.00 spain and the united kingdom 11 projects each and germany 10. apart from various unnamed contributors qatar charities list of generous donors features a number of extremely influential supporters including several members of the qatari ruling family and the day won the emmy as executive office all of these initiatives ny at the heart of the program that according to this presentation

president emanuel mcconnell we took the opportunity to ask him. we know that there are some people here in qatar who are suspected of funding i was going to say shadowy groups overseas but there are also suspicions about qatar sheridan's but. at least some information about qatar in the media is not true. we have taken a range of measures like a target to counter the financing of terrorism and yes that's true. but some of the information you mention may be exaggerated or fall. we continued our investigation in europe. in fronts according to our dossier qatar charity has funded 22 projects tens of millions of euros invested in mosques islamic centers and schools all of them

a supported by muslims of france and association called m d f formally known as the union of french islamic organizations or us so i ask the flash drive contain substantial information on one initiative in particular. charities flagship project in europe is located in 1000000 jews in eastern france. computer generated images of the future and new a center show a prayer room built on 2 floors classrooms for a new school and a library. the presentation bears the qatar charity logo and is intended to attract donors. abreu should describes other services offered by the future community center designed in compliance with religious norms observed in qatar a swimming pool with separate hours for men and women restaurants and supermarkets

and a health clinic. while waiting for the project to be completed worshipers pray in an old rundown mosque built in the seventy's. you have a rug could put it there and pray. now. is president of the muslim association of thousandths a local branch of muslims the from so it's an old garage there's a prayer room inside and another one on the ground floor but since there are so many people there is not enough room and they pray next door so we organize to prayer services on friday there's one and 1 o'clock and we allow for late comers that way we don't pray outside or next door so we don't bother anyone we have a 2nd prayer at 2 o'clock to avoid praying in the street that we exactly. did it is. true all.

you can eat is he was right. i'm not. the only thing because you know we can't go on worshipping in this place it isn't worthy of our religious faith or a community sense the state is secular it can give funds to any religious faith is your money is welcome wherever it comes from it's what we accept all forms of assistance it can come from people who support the muslim brotherhood or support wahhabi islam or i don't know what as long as we're not subject to any pressure otherwise we refuse and we have sometimes refusal is the. construction of the new mosque begun in 2006 and is almost finished the our newest center is designed to address the communities new needs. this is the main entrance that's where the reception desk will be able to be who come to pray can go

directly to the prayer rooms. like i busted this article the room has a maximum capacity of $1500.00 and a total area of about a 1000 square metres the facade is glass so pat. by can see inside we have nothing to hide so our organization believes in transparency. transparency even when it comes to funding the association received to minister pull brown tender nations from the community but the project is costing more than $25000000.00 euros so it also sought financial support from wealthy it danus. gold. to go look at the knowledge is that more than half of the sentence budget was funded by contributions from to go from countries kuwait and could tom let's just

go part is also the qatar made donations of almost 7000000 euros we're not talking about qatar rather an organization we don't work with the state neither the qatari nor the koichi government the donors are private individuals they have to go through an official organization qatar charity. but you have the same vision of islam i assume you mention just of occupy i don't know what their vision of islam is i know my vision of islam we're a member of the former if not their vision is our vision it's an islam of the middle ground as if we're going to tar kuwait saudi arabia each country has its vision but they don't impose that vision on all france made that you are a muslim brother. to them is almost always our muslim brothers in a way because you're my brother in humanity he's my brother in islam well what. do you could tell and he waits really donate money with no strings attached.
