3:07 pm
a rare appeal to the nation this easter weekend amid growing frustration with the pandemic infections are once again surging in the country with more than 18000 new daily cases in a prerecorded address which will air on saturday evening steinmeyer will ask germans to overcome what he calls a crisis of trust in the government the pandemic has held up a mirror to our country reflecting our compulsion to lay down rules for everything our fear of taking risks the shunting back and forth of responsibility how can we change that and how can we make our institutions more resilient we will have to address that at the moment however we are in the midst of the 3rd wave and it will take all of our strength all of us together to overcome its. deadly the chief political analyst melinda crane joins us now to put to the german president's
3:08 pm
remarks into a bit of context for us hello to you i'd like to go right to what he just said in that clip we played about germany facing itself in a mirror reflecting on this compulsion to lay down rules for everything a fear of taking risks shunting back and forth from responsibility what is the president driving at. well he's essentially driving at what is perceived by many people here in germany as a constant back and forth course of coded pandemic management so we have the minister president of the federal government meeting at regular intervals and then issuing pronouncements and then often a couple of weeks later appearing to take back those pronouncements or to modify them or different federal states disagreeing with one another about how to proceed
3:09 pm
and in fact the german constitution vests primary health policy responsibility in the federal states but the fact is that there's been a lot of tussling between them and the federal government about whether to tighten the restrictions loosen restrictions and many citizens have the sense that leadership is missing and therefore that is why the president issued what is a pretty clear warning or even a scolding to politicians coupled with concert about as you said a crisis of trust we have another short clip from these prerecorded remarks let's have a quick listen. all we must all pull together my fellow germans we must give it everything we've got there's no use merely being outraged about others or about our leaders rather than constantly pointing out what doesn't work we should point out that things do work when everyone does their bit that is what i'm talking about when i
3:10 pm
talk about trust because ultimately trusting in a democracy means nothing other than trusting in ourselves. all right melinda you said just before it's clear that steinmeyer is addressing at least partly german politicians in this clip we just heard he's talking a lot of valid trust and also urging germans not just to focus on what's going wrong with the pandemic response what is his underlying message here and who is the target of that. well it's essentially targeted at both german citizens but also at german politics sensually saying look easter is a time for hope and there is every reason to be hopeful the vaccine roll out is now gathering speed many people will have the opportunity to be vaccinated but
3:11 pm
essentially he's saying for them to avail themselves of that opportunity they need to trust trust in the vaccines trust in the judgment of political leaders and therefore he's essentially melding these 2 hope. trust and it's crucial to know the german president doesn't set policy himself piece essentially the moral compass of the nation and that's why he's speaking to these overriding themes hope and trust he is chief political analyst melinda crane thank you so much. christians around the world are marking the easter holy week for the 2nd year and during a pandemic on friday jerusalem worshippers held a procession all along the path of sorrow which is the route that christians believe jesus walked with his cross the modest crowd was made possible by israel's vaccination drive but turnout was just a fraction of past years jerusalem's old city is normally packed with visitors from
3:12 pm
all around the world beyond this easter the churches are mostly welcoming local christians who can at least take part in some traditions. yes every step in the preparation of the special cookies for easter is where we host and i knew about them key is hosting family and friends at home in east jerusalem after a year of restrictions coming together feels even more special everyone here is vaccinated that makes it easier to keep the tradition of making. a sweet maid of similar lena and filled with walnuts dates or his statues this see it we're happy to be together for this ok so. this is after this and that i cherish because it's passed from generation to generation this yr because of the fee and everything we managed to be together 'd last year unfortunately couldn't we were just maybe $5.00
3:13 pm
that there would cross out that with each other so we were able to though it. still everyone is cautious the method of preparing the sweets with the shapes symbolizing the thorny ground jesus war and despond stepped in vinegar is handed down from generation to generation. drusilla old city is the center of easter celebrations for palestinian christians and usually for visitors from all over the world the church of the holy separate career is believed to be the site of jesus' crucifixion his tomb and resurrection last year it was closed several times because of the pandemic this year it's also very quiet here with mainly local christians visiting foreign tourists are not yet allowed back so for us last year was difficult because we couldn't celebrate in a nice way now there's a sense of looking forward to practice our rituals and go back to the holy places
3:14 pm
of the wreck of the called the city i had people were really looking forward to go out during the year we had just stayed home and how many people would notice to celebrate together we really missed it. well not good or not last easter church services were limited to clerical stuff and streamed online for the communities. but now those who have been vaccinated can attend in person again. this year people can for to submit in person on the mass this is an even more beautiful challenge because we can celebrate their participation we want to see people face to face who want to look into their eyes because we want them to live this experience to get them. back in the house the 1st batch of cookies is ready it's a welcome return to beloved easter traditions and a celebration of a gradual return to normal life. you're up to date now on

issued when i arrived here i slept with 6 people in a room simmer it was hard as for. i haven't got white hair room for. learning the german language help me a lot this gets me a little but you need me to instruct it's to say you want to know their story. it's worth fighting and reliable information for migrants. this week on the world story. in russia the kremlin takes aim at tick tock and confronting racism in germany's catholic church but we begin in turkey where i'm carla has set a goal of vaccinating 60 percent of its population against coronavirus by autumn
3:17 pm
which means reaching the more remote parts of the country. almost 2000 meters high up in the mountains la is the village of alton that is in eastern turkey a few 100 residents one street. and this is the doctor in charge of the coronavirus vaccinations here in the village. they nip at olive and her team come regularly many home visits require some serious climbing but they're almost used to it now. no coronavirus cases have been reported in 4 months that's why some residents are skeptical about the doctor's visit but they know better out of this convinced that her commitment is important. people in the villages live close together if there is an infection here it will spread very
3:18 pm
quickly and many don't like coming to the hospitals in nearby towns so we have to come to them. there already. are. getting his 2nd dose today when the doctors 1st came here a few weeks ago he almost keep them out. i was afraid at 1st here in the village they said the doctors were coming to kill the old people or the elderly die from the vaccination i heard and because of that we were scared a lot. they never knows that there is a lot of false information floating around she and her team often tell patients that they themselves have been vaccinated as have their grandparents. that doesn't convince everyone but it did convince ali kazak. your knowledge of geography i hardly felt anything it didn't hurt at all less than
3:19 pm
a bee sting. of your. in. our adventure team have given the last vaccination for today the way back to their car is once again perilous. the doctors are responsible for 20 villages and as long as there are doses they won't run out of work any time soon. tick talk is one of the most popular social media platforms in russia but since users have taken to posting increasing numbers of political videos the kremlin has begun to take notice. time could be ticking for these tick tock bloggers the unlikely new enemy for the kremlin. the social network is mostly about entertainment with videos of pranks and dance
3:20 pm
routines. but this month at a meeting with the police russian president vladimir putin made it clear he wants the authorities to be watching anyway. unfortunately we all know what the internet is and how it is used to promote unacceptable content it's critical for you to unite with other government agencies in order to monitor the web and be more proactive in identifying people who are dragging minors into committing illegal actions but the fact that minors are being dragged into illegal on authorized street protests as well is of course a violation of the law. to talk in particular has been on the authorities radar since the return of opposition politician i looks enough by me to russia his arrest in january caused a wave of opposition protests across the country and a sudden explosion of politics on tick tock. teenagers filmed themselves at
3:21 pm
schools replacing portraits of putin. with portraits of. another ticked off trend was videos of teens getting ready to protest and telling their parents they might get arrested. russia's media watchdog responded by calling on to talk to block videos calling for unauthorized protests and last week threatened to block social networks completely if they don't comply with russian laws. but these moscow tip talkers want to keep dancing to their own without thinking about politics every week the bloggers meet at this so-called to talk house with their producers to consult about their accounts and collaborate with each other to stay on trend talkers like that i need of a film $2.00 to $3.00 videos a day the 17 year old thinks the videos about politics were just a short lived trend. there's too much politics on tech talk i went on there during
3:22 pm
the protests and there was none of the usual content in my feed. cygnus blog. also says she doesn't want to talk to become a political platform. talk as a social media platform for self-expression there's so much negative stuff around us already on state television and so on. but being neutral may soon no longer be possible according to maxine potential he's one of the owners of the p.r. agency promoting these bloggers which. most bloggers are not for bush and are against him they're just doing their thing but when they're told they're freaks when they're stigmatized these bloggers start feeling they're outsiders in this country and that's what makes them feel angry at the government. for now these 2 talkers are steering clear of politics but even they know that the kremlin will be watching closely if they
3:23 pm
ever get out of step. in the eastern part of the democratic republic of congo and islamised militia known as the death has been terrorizing local inhabitants un peacekeepers are charged with protecting them but is it working. it feels a bit odd to move in and collect this while people outside seem to live a normal everyday life but the impression is deceptive this area is dangerous attacks happen almost on a daily basis the islamist militia a.t.f. has carried out repeated massacres killing more than 500 people in the 2nd half of 2020 with the u.n. troops we visit a clinic in my that has been targeted by a.t.f. in the past. why is the director here he's witnessed gruesome attacks.
3:24 pm
of the militias slaughters people and when you see the animosity they have to kill these people how they cut off the heads you find the brain scattered all over they head off feet that leaves you with fear and traumatizes your heart. in one incident the islamists tried to kidnap 4 of his nurses. they found them in the waiting room and took them hostage once people realized it was i.d.f. they were very afraid but then the militia said they won't kill them they said it is not a day to kill. because of the constant threat the clinic is only open for a few hours in the morning women and children struggle to get the medical care they need a problem with whom we cannot go and have a can of corn from they have to stay at home the cannot move surely cannot go to school was woman can accomplish critical where the villagers have experienced
3:25 pm
a lot but many are reluctant to speak to us the local population is in a tight corner some of their sons and daughters have joined a.t.f. and often provide them with food but in return the villagers have to cooperate and provide the militia group with information or risk getting killed. and sometimes we are happy and sometimes we are afraid because they can come today or tomorrow they have now become our everyday people. just when we were about to leave a man wants to speak to us out of fear he doesn't want to be named. the government should help all the international community should help our government to deal with this phenomenon that has made a lot of people suffer 80 f. should be finished finished finished. his frustration as palpable and sums up what many people here told us off camera their feeling is they're being brutally massacred while the outside world needs to act gently.
3:26 pm
everybody is supposed to be welcome in the catholic church including refugees and migrants but sometimes members of a congregation may be exposed to racism even the clergy d.w. spoke with a priest from cologne. i do something i experience again and again when i'm out and about and different church communities is that the 1st question is always where do you come from and i always say i'm from noise germany and then there was silence they got me to line up time as a catholic pastor in the archdiocese of cologne apparently many people in germany still find it a little strange when they encounter a minister who is not white to line up time is repeatedly asked about his origins or is and salted with racist slurs well from quite the little park at leipsic. it was at the catholic convention in leipsic i was representing the archdiocese and
3:27 pm
i can still remember standing at the booth when 2 women approached the booth which i went to watch them in a friendly manner and put them wellcome. them and then one woman said which do gooder let you into the country without any emotion whatsoever that rachel would stop to listen. to learn a town is mostly concerned by 2 things and the catholic church in germany it's too white and too euro centric the central limit on. them in the church into again it starts with the fact that many teachers of german theology don't even take into account all the other theological points of view in the world it's only fashionable or to be taken seriously from a scientific angle when it comes from the german speaking world and that's where the difficulties begin when you think you're the only one who is capable of interpret in the world or nor the lab is the way.
3:28 pm
this is. the 38 year old is responsible for new trainees in his diocese he advises and supervisors theology students or those looking to serve in the church for whom he provides rooms in his apartment to learn at times even spoke to pope francis about his vision of a more cosmopolitan church that allows more space for global perspectives and less racism. at. these. he encouraged me to consolidate and develop this idea further to bring all scope into my teaching and not be bound by the small european world order. where it's applied. on hopes others like him may 1 day no longer be constantly reduced to the color of their skin up. the back
