currently down in 15th place on the table. you're watching news life on berlin for member you can get all the latest news on our website stats to w dot com to make sure to also follow us on twitter and instagram our handle as at state of the news i'll be back at the top of the hour with more upset at. the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and context the coronavirus update 19. on t.w. . children to come to.

one giant trouble. and when really it is normal to be cheery and. divided in a city it'll be very easy to lay foolish out. how will climate change affect us and our children. dot com slash water. 12 months have passed since the 1st coded 900 cases emerged in germany meanwhile the virus has claimed more than 56000 lives here more than 2000000 have been affected and the number keeps climbing over the past year we've had to adjust our day to day lives to a new reality that we could hardly have imagined before. it's been a whole year since the prospect of a family holiday has become a remote possibility even impossible. a year of keeping our distance from friends

colleagues. even our own families. and every day we witness the consequences of the pandemic restaurants in a city's deserted public life has come to a standstill. welcome to a copy of 1000 special i want to jones in berlin good to have you with us 5608 that's how many new coronavirus cases were registered in germany over the past 24 hours no big deal we've had worse now imagine hearing a german saying that a year ago on thinkable but 12 months of this pandemic have changed us here's how it started it's. jeremy 1st came across 1000 here at the offices of this automotive supplier in bavaria it's where 33 year old employee

caught the novel virus from a coworker who had traveled to germany from china he became patient number one. german officials were quick to assure the public the country was taking the virus seriously but that there was also no cause for alarm. health minister yang spahn told the public there's no need for exaggerated concern and treatment is a longer get this kind in orange the world health organization echoed this with calls for simple measures like more hand washing self protection is still the best possible way we can go about this but infections spread to every region in germany contact tracing became impossible. germany's hold on the virus gave way to the free spread of covert 19. then just 6 weeks after the 1st case was discovered in germany announced the closing of schools by the end of march

a nationwide lockdown meant the workplace and the school day had to compete for attention in homes across the country. the bulk of people in germany seemed to take the restrictions in stride and agree with them with the budding spring germany slowly started opening up again. but by the start of may nearly 7000 people in germany had died. meanwhile elsewhere in europe the numbers range from more than 24000 to over 28000 deaths. in comparison with many european neighbors germany appeared to have weathered the height of the crisis fairly well. many people enjoyed the warm summer months. but then fall arrived and cases began to rise again. by november a so-called lockdown light was in place despite both calls for stricter measures.

as well as protests against them. but the mini lockdown didn't work cases rosa de lauro ming rates with more and more patients needing intensive care. by the christmas holidays restrictions have been tightened again and after the new year schools and shops remain shut. the latest extension of germany's lockdown will continue through february 14th. michael moore i'm joined by a man who mushy is an infectious disease expert at the bavarian health and food safety authority and she's been involved in analyzing the new coronavirus right from the start when it 1st emerged here in germany good to have you with us please tell me when did you know what we were dealing with. it was the very beginning

of last year's january when a colleague of mine sent me the link to the w.-h. . report on. cases of unknown origin in china and he asked the man what do you think about these cases are we going to expect something really big here in news asked maybe and i said well no i don't think so definitely not wrong i was it took a while for the rest of the population and authorities to revise the views and i remember that i was flying from munich airport in late march so much much later than those 1st cases emerged still before the lockdown though i disagree to this team there was tested positive and we were all there without masks i mean a dealing with that situation a year ago it was a learning by doing right. well every outbreak in this kind of learning by doing whites that said it because it's because every outbreak is

different you have to adapt your methods you have to adapt the measure is you implement breaks and. yes it's always a unique situation but of course last year it was very special very unique and it was also very exhausting. and still it's still it's ongoing and even a year into the pandemic now when and the 2nd year already we still find it hard to say where a person got infected and that's significant why is it so difficult. well with this you start with an ongoing virus transmission and we have observed really intense virus transmission in circulation for several months now it's really

hard to. trace back infection chains. why is that say because on the one hand. it takes some time and efforts to reconstruct transmission genes. well. the public health authorities have been working at the limits for some time now and their priority is to. prevent forwards transmission meaning that to prevent further spread of cover it 90. and also many cases do not know. where they got the virus from them there are also some cases we do not want to say caused from yet and all of that makes it more difficult and on top of that of course now we have the variants that said to

be even more infectious than the original virus so it still feels a little bit like learning by doing how has the pandemic changed your life. well. in many ways of course it was a very challenging year for me professionally and. you can see it was those do live with regards to my private life very challenging with home schooling is cetera but also what i would say i have never been so thankful for all these brilliant work scientists do all over the world to develop a vaccine that's a fact is against a novel virus within 12 months or even less than 12 months it's just brilliant and . what i want to say is that if you get the chance to hear it gets your

coverage shots when it's your turn to get the vaccination you do it for your own protection and also. protection of the valet human beings right that's certainly a new chapter in the pandemic vaccination melbourne from the bavarian health and food safety authority thank you so much for your time thank you money. and it's time now for your questions over to our science correspondent derrick williams. when will we get back to normal life as we know it and lift it until the end of 2919. i decided to answer this on air because i asked the question so often by pretty much everyone and you know what i can't give you an answer no one can i can only guess and you know what else no one can see the future so what all the experts out there predict is just guessing

too though some guesses are of course more informed than others so so that's. here's my best guess it's based on 2 factors that should be clear to all of us by now the 1st is that the only way to return to some kind of normal is through vaccination the 2nd is that means worldwide vaccination until we're all protected we all remain in danger the current flock of variance has revealed how quickly this pathogen can cross borders and the longer we leave it in wide circulation even if it's in other countries the higher the chance it'll mutate into a variant that can do an end run around vaccines so banks and nation programs have to be fast and they have to be global i see it as a numbers game how much vaccine can we make how quickly to reach herd immunity

everywhere which many experts say is around 70 percent of humanity that's around 5 and a half 1000000000 fully vaccinated people since many vaccines require 2 doses let's call it 10000000000 doses for this back of the envelope prediction i added up what makers of different vaccines currently in use are now claiming they can produce in 2021 which as far as i can tell is around 8000000000 doses so not enough to round the corner globally by the end of this year granted those numbers change constantly but there's still no question it will also take time to distribute those billions of doses so right now i just can't see a return to something approaching global pretend demick norms for at least

a year and and probably a lot longer though individual nations with high vaccination rates things will likely grow more relaxed before that maybe as early as this summer. best gets. there and william is there and you'll be back to answer more of your questions tomorrow for now that's 6 from in the team thanks for watching. they dreamed of more rights and more freedom freedom new does not read the. egyptian women in the alice springs we fought in 2011 that will be going away that we were going to. the harrowing story of the fight for liberation as told by 3 courageous women james of red part 2 closer.

to. india. this is why delhi sounds like everything going to. look that said to change. because noise pollution makes people and animals in a. more calm form metropolises how can that be achieved. in 60 minutes on d w. d 2 you know that 77 percent clapping are younger than 6 o'clock. that's me and me and you. and you know what time of voices i watch all this 77 percent talk about the stuff. from

politics to flash from housing boom boom town this is where. welcome to the 77. this weekend t.w. . january 20th 11 hundreds of thousands of men and women in egypt protest against the regime of president hosni mubarak who has been in power for 3 decades there demanding his resignation more freedom and social justice. the mass protests are a success his force to step down. the egyptian military assumes

power yet the protests go on the police and military retaliate with ever greater force many women become the targets of sexual harassment and violence perpetrated by the military the police and religious zealots. the situation does not change just the party of the islamic muslim brotherhood wins the parliamentary elections in january 2012th and their candidate mohamed morsi becomes the new president in june 2012 egyptians soon take to the streets again to demonstrate against morsi is regime once more there are many women in the front line i joined cultists against morsi but when they got their wings a problem as i. came to visit all the codes many women felt assaulted. i was punched and groped by men who met.

sexual harassment and sexual violence has been super evident since the beginning. the gentle tests i mean she bade and assault they were taking place all the time. but more than anything no one was just us protecting ourselves . so we decided as a group of friends to form some sort of an intervention team we started off as operation anti-sexual harassment and then later on when we realized that we should not sugarcoat the level of the crime we are slashing assault.

was in the 21st of january 2013. we documented 19 cases of pop sexual assault and rape at least one of them was raped with a with a knife. it was extremely brutal and bloody. was. peepin this is not a brawl the red circle indicates the position of the young woman she is being sexually assaulted in this home and 3 or 4 pairs of hands are in her trousers and 3 or 4 others inside her blouse 10 people are pulling her from every direction. some people are helping her. she was a man takes office trousers to cover her. another

does the same with his jacket. this young woman can't breathe and all the pulling and pushing she passes out. but thank god she's not wearing the scarf like the girl they tried to strangle with the one she was wearing or the girl who was penetrated with a knife or the woman who was raped in front of her children and the. man don't these women will never be told they are heroes. said we will not be silenced this is our revolution and we will fight this battle to the last press. morse's government that nothing. no one found armed forces investigating the sexual violence that took place during their who. they said whoever was an authority watched this happen and they were blaming each other. neither of them

have done anything to protect women and women's bodies became just a battlefield a political battle feeds. the. was was the was. i. a year ago morsi won 51 percent of the but now it's place $22000000.00 signatures

of being gathered against. me believes they shout to writing him as autocratic and incompetent as poverty unemployment inflation and debt all continue to worsen the president's supporters insist he must stay in power by brotherhood spokesman warns the current supporters will not turn the other cheek and the 2 camps seem headed inexorably to finding clash. and if seen it and we wanted the people to topple the brotherhood we could paddle selves for that if we had a 10 term time to square even to tend to the presidential palace we were prepared to stay a month or 2. they're going to have hot but we were preempted when c.c. issued a 48 hour ultimatum and get the money on band sat millions of people once again taking to the streets huge crowds in south korea square the military has given the

president a major also made to egypt's army and now says it will intervene within 48 hours the clock is ticking and not by arm as he didn't mean that wasting more time will only lead to more division and conflict and i limp they say i mean you are. in gosh it is not possible the people empowered me the people chose me through a free and fair election. the people approved a constitution that assigned me a role in the country expects me to act in accordance with this legitimacy. but actually the constitution. of the presidency like you just heard bill later of the egyptian military general el-sisi make it official of the egyptian president

mohamed morsy is out. of the film and i was there the moment mostly was removed from power. i had been chanting and celebrating with my colleagues it suddenly hit me this stiff was brought about by the military. i think it would be. the most english as happy as i was that most it was out that had been out goal i was afraid because it was achieved by the military. because i would the military try to seize power again. by himself would we see more military violations on the streets and in the square killings torture dragging and abuse of women i was very concerned about what would come to.

the. authorities are increasingly using the word terrorism when describing supporters of the ousted president mohamed morsi the muslim brotherhood. i. i thought this is i'm asking you c.c. who appointed you who appointed her you dog morsi appointed we will burn you i was bad i was pleased you just saw

fighting to the ground reportedly pushed off a bridge by supply and supported by the muslim brotherhood they don't want to stick with force in a big interim government opened fire in the spring. the muslim brotherhood say scores of protesters are dancing they claim police are shooting to kill and we are going to the morgue we've witnessed so many noise that they forced parents to sign reports saying their child died of suicide while fighting when they were actually shot in the chest breaking. through the whole. unit was told that i often work late at the low santa and it's very difficult for me to get home but it's hellish on the rock.

there's a lot of pressure when you're dealing with people who have been arrested or are missing the situation in this country is very difficult at the moment no one feels safe house and cinema and. believe in the right to stay because at 7 am the police had to grab a square and surrounded it from all directions he. was trapping everyone and saw. thank you. thank you our. thanks. to our.

thanks. to our thanks. was. and if anyone wanted it i went to a bar the next day and i will never forget that smell of death and then that's what kind of people they were they were still people who had nests. i'm going to and if i can add to somebody out of the city and could have been cleared in a more humane way they could have blocked

a tough cut the electricity supply the water supply and all good now so i don't know it could have been the sewage system but to burn down a mosque in a gas station in my him as good which headed by the zima. come to my legs that they were too many dead bodies for the morgue to handle. because so the bodies were piled in the street. they were covered with newspaper and ice because it was so hot. he is a french journalist who wants to interview hand hend nephew and the coordinator of the human rights defenders program. what do you think is the reason for this repression. any regime can use repression as

a way to control opposition there will be more arrests and they will be moved by this i mean in the next phase the rate of violence and the rate of arrests will increase not decrease. are there a lot of detainees facing severe charges like terrorism. yes everyone arrested is charged with terrorism. will the government prevail. prevail. they claim the state is eliminating terrorism but terrorism will only increase because of the state's extreme violence. that's not the way to eliminate terrorism . this will only increase terrorism in egypt i predict will suffer for years to come because of the way security forces dealt with the muslim brotherhood. down my minister.

by. x. rule caps rule morse's government and now back to an interim government backed by the army. and the same activists are being tried and arrested. they have transferred my case to a terrorism court. and the judiciary is now handing out severe sentences against the revolutionaries. it's a lot of money i try to stay optimistic everything will be ok god willing and i mean the lawyers will do what's necessary to prove us innocent is what's all right

not. home are you here to defend him to know if he. gets the hearing started and it was clear from the beginning that the judge was totally against us he insisted on locking us in the cage 1st. i'm presenting the findings of the investigation into the events of the murder and injury of protesters in december 27th he will. note these allegations in the record. your investigation reports say that the officers and soldiers attack these people. yes you are saying these people in the cage are victims correct. are you saying the police are bastards who go around randomly arresting people where's your proof. our request to submit the evidence is in the document before you. so this document contains all the evidence

you want to submit yes your honor we are adamant this evidence be entered in the court record. the courts decided to postpone this case. i. will see how will we get out of this. quite although i mean i predict that you'll be sentenced to at least 10 years. they

want the majority of activists or those involved in human rights activities to be in prison so be prepared for it. as you say you're a human rights and women's rights activist so they have their eye on them and that's why i think the verdict will be severe it won't be lenient 5 years would be an acquittal in this case misha encompassing the model for the way because one of them i think an acquittal would be like condemning the enemy so they're not going to acquit us that i've started to put himself or whatever happens the most important thing is that you guys come to visit me. we'll come visit you we don't abandon anyone all of you. will be there all the time you'll be sick of us. god is with you and will be with us don't worry. these are really dark days.

i went to ny that i'm scared about the trial but what lies ahead can't be worse than what i've already experienced.

the fall of the market keep these with even case someone is arrested hike them in your pockets and pass them around if someone is mistreated they'll know who to call we have lawyers that's why i have it all for the past 2 weeks i've had an uneasy feeling that my brother joined the army and i'm always a protest. i'm going to lie it's possible that i'll find my brother standing there with his weapon ready to use against me. and he could be the one who drags me away aggressor and tortures me or my friends he could fire a bullet at me my killer could be my brother and the holy. hand and what's going on. we have to split into groups they're arresting all the young

people we're surrounded by security forces it's a disaster waiting to happen. i the time. i. think and. i. know people united to depose the president 3 years ago but now not the people are divided. on the one

side those who believe the military backed interim government has saved the revolution. on the other those are maintaining their hopes of democracy and not. someone's been shot case too. what happened to you. about all of them in. those protesting the military back to take their place would be dispersed by the police object. to being an authorized protest as well as with tear gas. cans are we going to be strong today we knew this was going to happen we will rise to the occasion come on we have a car. we have to get out of here. and.

only god can help us no. more. than. a memory. not going to be taking to the streets to see our revolution through to the end but after 3 years the situation has gotten worse. every time we go out and protest we think it's going to get better but the only thing increasing is the number of people dying bloody day we are being killed off all put in jail every time we demonstrate for a new president the new one attacks and kills more of us then the last. man has at least been in

a street war for the past 2 hours and they've arrested many young protesters those carrying cc's photo are taken away has become the symbol of freedom and those without his picture of the opposition which is freedom that we have seen. as long as they are up. people like you behind us mama will never give up or despair and i want you to know one thing nobody is going to be our god whoever brings bread freedom and social justice to egypt i will respect him but fear and violence will not intimidate us terrorism is not the muslim brotherhood all the street thugs the most dangerous terrorists are the ones who lie arrest and humiliate people no one has been put on trial yet for murdering the egyptian people. they charged convict and kill us and stand. in. the world.

was. eat. meat. it's not hard to remember what i wanted to do in the revolution because what i wanted to ban is what i want now freedom who doesn't want freedom. and. that the mobs that were chanting sons of god are that freedom and social justice including fighting for women's

rights pacifically. course i'm not as positive as i was once but it's. not simply we're i want to define you're wearing what you're not wearing we're going to fight we have rights and it doesn't matter who's have power and. we really made a point and the past yes ok well here. we had a baby victim you. could name and i know so many mourn my colleagues and i always say that a nation without torch is a dream that will make come true we are working hard to achieve that goal when having. good.

i still have conflicts with my family. since this still not convinced that i'm right. but i'm glad i do what i deem and i do it with love i feel that i'm conveying a message and contribution to a cause i believe in. yes
