way to break it and turn it around the measures implemented thus far by the federation and state don't go far enough our response to the pandemic must be more stringent and consequential. let's bring in our chief political editor michelle of course now who is standing outside of the chance least chancellery for us if you were listening into the chancellor's message tell us more about what she had to say . the basic all the step of now implementing in national drive a national emergency brake as a long overdue you setting the corona fight on a new footing and what that means is that angular macko took germany's corona response next level instead of continuing to gather the 16 state premiers around her getting an agreed paper and then everybody going into their federal state and doing whatever they like pretty much she's now making this legally binding she doesn't mean that she can do it alone she still needs that signature on the dotted

line by enough taking this to parliament and she's getting the states to agree to it and that would then make it legally binding and there would be an immediate emergency brake implemented at that magic figure of $100.00 infections 410-0000 people within the space of 7 days and that already applies to pretty much most of the country why is this question of taking a national approach so controversial. because there was a lot of credibility lost when state premiers didn't stick to what they said and kept carving out exceptions for their own state status created a lot of confusion that has cost everybody a lot of public trust who works in public policy and that is also to blame for. dipping in the opinion polls in these latest infection rates going up once again we

are in the midst of the 3rd wave here in germany and the majority of germans actually for a tougher lockdown and people in the street they certainly want to know which rules apply wherever they go and not on a 100 kilometer to draw i have 3 different sets of regulations apply you said that the chancellor will have to take this new law to parliament what kind of support will she have for it there. well it looks like she is getting enough support to take it to parliament the big question now is will it be fast track how this will be decided this week the parliamentary groups are currently meeting as we speak here so still more intense debates to be heads but this looks like it's definitely going ahead in germany with experts warning hospitals warning that it's simply coming too late and america herself said if we set a long time ago she said if we wait until those intensive care beds are filling up and a full then it's too late and it's pretty much nearing that point right now our chief

political editor michel because now with the latest thank you. now aerosol researchers are a criticizing coronavirus measures and they are calling for a radical rethink they say infections outside hardly take place and we can speak now to christopher he's the president of the society for aerosol research he's taken part in this research thank you very much for joining us now and tell us what the research shows about how cold it is being transmitted what are the findings there. well 1st of all we know we have known for several months already that it's mostly in aerosol transmission so abhorrent transmission of the virus. and at the same time we know that aerosols or aerosol particles as weeks hailed him there quickly diluted when you're outdoors because there are always wind currents there's always a thermal motion upwards and that quickly dilutes the virus concentration and

therefore it's very unlikely that you. get infected outdoors where us indoors it's much more likely because the virus concentration can accumulate and there has been a recent study published in ireland and they check more than 230000 infections and they found that 99.9 percent of them actually occurred indoors and that's what we try to. make sure that everyone understands and also the general public that it's the most the highest infection risk is actually indoors and not outdoors so you're saying basically the measures that are currently in place they don't prevent infection they might even be counterproductive so which measures would that be that they don't help really well. what we criticize is that there's too. much focus on measures for outdoors whereas outdoors not nothing really or almost no infections occur this includes the juge to wear

a mask when you're outdoors that several places which are very popular are locked. like along the rhine river for example here in my area and that doesn't really help because we should focus a lot more on the indoor. interactions and that applies to all indoor environments that includes private homes that includes workplaces that includes shops that includes public transport and so on and that that's what we try to bring along that it's really the indoor environment where it can get critical ok so what measures would you recommend to the government to take right now if you could advise them. well i mean several measures already taken when it comes to public transport it's really. it critical that these are checked and make sure that people really follow these rooms and it's not only the government but

it's also the media and just the general public that needs to understand that you need to be careful can doors and there are several very simple measures and i don't really think that you need a law or anything to enforce that because what people should do is open windows and exchange the air that is indoors whenever possible so when the. the weather is fine just leave the the window open all day basically where mask whenever you meet people. use cleaning devices to reduce the virus concentration and most importantly limit the number of contacts indoors outdoors it doesn't really count but indorse limit the number of contacts and limit the time that you meet these people indoors and these are the most important things to keep in mind and that can help to to reduce the infections and one thing you said you know a lot of this research has been around for some time now we know that infections

are spreading more indoors far more indoors than really outdoors why do you think that hasn't enough really been informing the policy that's been taken. that's a very difficult question and i think it goes beyond what i can judge as an aerosol scientist because i think it has very political reasons that it's probably easier to control outdoors if people are not gatorade names of people really even wearing masks because then they're out in the public and you can see them whereas indoors you can't really in force these the sauce. but but on the other hand i understand that it's not so easy to control that people are following these measures but it's important to make sure that everyone understands that really indoors that's where rates can get dangers thank you so much for your insights christopher president of the society for aerosol research was good to have you with us. thank you.

let's take a look though at some other headlines from around the world the united states says it is no longer planning to withdraw troops from jim germany and will instead deploy an additional $500.00 forces u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin made that announcement alongside his german counterpart. austin is on an inaugural trip to europe aimed at boosting defense ties with nato allies and heightened tensions with russia. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says he expects the international deal limiting iran's nuclear program to be saved he was speaking after talks with his a rainy and counterpart last march says iran has shown willingness if the us up holds its agreements to live are also criticised the e.u. for imposing sanctions on iran during ongoing talks on providing the nuclear agreement. taiwan has unveiled a new amphibious warfare ship that can be used to land troops the massive ship is the latest part of a program to modernize the armed forces it comes as china escalates its threats to

use military force to annex the island it says is its territory. japan has announced that it will start releasing massive amounts of contaminated water from the fukushima nuclear plant into the sea the water has been stored in tanks at the plant since it was destroyed by an earthquake and tsunami in 2011 tokyo says the decision was unavoidable about the water will be diluted to meet international standards before it is released in about 2 years time now japan's neighbors south korea and china have condemned the bulls as have environmental groups and local fishing communities. it's no more than a decade since an earthquake and tsunami devastated into each a nuclear power plant in fukushima but the country and the region will be living with the consequences for much longer. nearly 1300000 tons of contaminated water is stored in huge tanks at the daiichi plant in. to fill

$500.00 a limping size swimming pools beyond your cost is around $1000000000.00 yen or 800000 euros and space is running out. plant operator tepco plans to filter the contaminated water to remove isotopes leaving only tritium it will then dilute the water until tritium levels fall below regulator e limits before pumping it into the ocean tritium is considered relatively harmless because it does not emit enough energy to penetrate human skin japan's prime minister says the decision is an unavoidable part of safety decommissioning the nuclear plant and there's still hope we will execute it only after ensuring the process is safe negative rumors must not stand in the way or extinguish the hopes of people in fukushima for recovery. you know. what the decision has provoked an explosive reaction from some of japan's neighbors these korean environmental activists say the plan will torpedo efforts to restore

the regional fishing industry. you want. the japanese government's decision is a sin against the world that their actions will contaminate everyone globally in the many years. you don't own one going with japanese governments decision is not a scientific one but a political gamble that the if radioactive water is released it will be an irreversible disaster not only for the ecosystem but also for humans the japanese fishing industry itself is also firmly opposed to the plan the 1st release of water is due to take place in about 2 years time. earlier i spoke to shaun burnie a senior nuclear specialist at greenpeace and we asked him what consequences the decision of the japanese government might half so all the reader to that you will be released different types of radioactive materials we've got to tritium which percentage of which becomes organic we don't need to cells as their cells but other

redirect device looks like stored in $1000.00 which would be released by these discharges concentrates in the blooms of course fish in humans increase in cancer rates. in the communities in korea or china of the earth close to this as well as in japan itself know that this is an ongoing threat that must be stopped so what you're going to see a good coming weeks months and even years is increasing opposition to the japanese government's decision and i remain optimistic absolutely that we can stop those sean bernie from greenpeace speaking to us earlier there. now protesters in the u.s. state of minnesota have taken to the streets for a 2nd night after a young black man was shot dead by police near minneapolis the officer who fired a 20 year old dante wright says she confused her gun with her taser tensions in minneapolis were already running high before this latest incident a white former police officer there shaaban is currently on trial there charged

with the murder of george floyd the president is appealing for peace. the last moments of don't have rights life be courted by the party come of the police officer who fatally shot him. 20 year old wright is a wrist it during a traffic stop. he struggles free and gets back in the car then. police say the footage shows that the office a used gun by mistake. as i watch the video and listen to the officers commands is my belief that the officer had the intention to deploy their taser but instead shot mr right with a single bullet this appears to me from what i view it in the officer's reaction in distress immediately after that this was an accidental discharge there resulted in the tragic death of mr wright. angus' spilled

out onto the streets hours often writes killing. a dusk to dawn curfew was imposed to stop further on rest that protesters gathered for a 2nd night in the suburbs of minneapolis outraged by yet another death of a black man at the hands of a police officer. called president joe biden appealed for calm but we do know that the airing your pain and trauma is just the black community and that environment is real and serious consequential but it's just the moment justified violence and or a mood but the shooting of dawn today right has fueled tensions in a city already on edge of another of a tourist case not far from where wright was shot dead rick shaven the officer who

killed george floyd is on trial for murder. world leaders are condemning russia's most recent military activity in and around ukraine the g. 7 group of the advanced nations says it is deeply concerned by what it calls russian provocations he crane accuses moscow of sending thousands of troops to with eastern border in the crimean peninsula kiev and moscow have traded blame for the worsening situation in the donbass region ukrainian troops have fought to progress in separatist since 2014 clashes in the region have become more frequent and there are fears the unresolved conflict between the 2 sides could flare up again. a russian military camp set up suddenly close to russia's border with ukraine witnesses have reported seeing rows of tanks in the area and artillery being moved by train and leaders in europe and the us are trying to find out what. russia is

not denying the troop movements but says it's not threatening anyone. or spot over there it's like receiving the questions are being asked what is it that the russian federation is doing on the border with ukraine got the answer is very simple we live there it is our country some kremlin figures have gone further setting out conditions for a possible russian intervention against its neighbor which is beginning of military actions is the beginning of the end of ukraine. the build up seems to be russia's biggest along the ukrainian border in 7 years. but that was when fighting between pro russian separatists and ukrainian troops 1st erupted in ukraine's east more than 14000 people have since died in that conflict which has yet to be resolved. ukraine's president volo dimmers alinsky recently visited frontline troops he's

called on nato to put his country on a pathway to join the military bloc something moscow has called an acceptable. meanwhile washington is sending warships to the region and says it's closely watching the situation well 1st let me say we are concerned as i've said in the past but we've been of course watching it over the course of the weekend about the increasing aggression of russian forces on the border secretary blinken and secretary austin are in brussels this week meeting with their nato partners and we will of course i'm sure this will be a topic of discussion the coming week could well decide whether the tensions in ukraine escalate further into the biden administration's 1st international crisis. let's bring in our correspondents on the story now teri schultz is in brussels emily sure when is in moscow it is good to see you both tara let's start with you

nato secretary general against bird and the foreign minister of ukraine at a new trick label made a joint statement a little bit earlier what more can you tell us about what they said. they did sue me but even since then we've gotten the news that nato secretary general still timberg will chair a joint meeting tomorrow of nato foreign and defense ministers was called after is his press conference today with the foreign minister of cool a bow and secretary of state blinken from the united states and defense secretary austin will come from germany to be at that meeting tomorrow now what we heard earlier from the ukrainian foreign minister whose government had called this urgent a nato meeting he had messages for both moscow and for nato to moscow he said if you dare push further into ukraine than what you've already done an x. in crimea and supporting separatists in the dawn by us this will be a very costly mistake for you to nato allies he said make sure that is the case we

need more military equipment equipment we need more training for our forces we need more political support if we are going to deter the aggression that we're seeing from russian forces and to everyone he said if you think that sounds expensive think about the consequences of more war ok emily we're hearing a very strong message directed at brushwood there have you seen any reactions or moscow so far. there have been no direct reactions to that strong message that we heard there at nato but around the same time of the nato press conference there was a statement from the deputy foreign minister here in russia city gate of course and he said that any escalation in ukraine would be the fault of ukraine and what he calls called its western curators clearly referring there to nato and he said that they are at fault for turning ukraine into a powder keg and russia for the past few days and weeks has been shifting blame as

well they have been saying that it's actually ukraine that's moving troops closer to the border and escalating the situation and that any troop movements within russian borders are just russia's business and are purely defensive right we've seen russia deny any claims that it sent troops to eastern ukraine to help the rebels there but officials are also saying the army could intervene if you pray and tries to retake the area by force i mean how likely is that to happen. we've definitely heard a lot of strong rhetoric from the russian side including that kremlin official that we heard there in the piece saying he said that it would be the end of ukraine if ukraine were to intervene or to harm russian citizens and in eastern ukraine of course russia has been kind of handing out passports to people in eastern ukraine for the last few years but i think it's very unlikely that russia actually wants these escalated tensions to really escalate into

a war i think this is more saber rattling and rhetoric directed both at an internal audience ahead of duma elections parliamentary elections here this year and also more importantly i think directed at the new u.s. administration they really want to make it clear i think to the new u.s. president that ukraine as they see it is part of their sphere of influence and that the u.s. and nato should keep its hands off a risky game of course because these tensions in this powder keg could potentially blow up even if neither side really wants it right and terry i want to come back to you in brussels and to ask you about another development that we saw today namely u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin saying the u.s. will not be pulling troops out of germany that's something that the former president trumpet threatened instead the u.s. will deploy an additional 500 forces i imagine that that is welcome news that nato . certainly sumi in any case that would have been welcome news but with tensions

rising very close to nato as borders it will be even more so now this announcement came as a surprise to nato officials and to the german government when president trump said it but we know from reporting afterwards that actually nobody moved on this the pentagon didn't think it was a good move to pull out of its very comfortable and well established german bases nobody wanted to do with the belgian government did not get a follow up call from the u.s. about the troops that were supposedly moving here so it's not a complete surprise that the current administration would reverse that decision but as you said a very welcome one nonetheless. our correspondents teri schultz in brussels and emily sherwin in moscow thank you. sports now in soccer robert love and das he has returned to training for byron munich after damaging his right knee while on international duty with poland byron's top striker is expected to make his comeback later this month against

the book. matched a 28 so one humdinger of an encounter between 2 top teams of spuds and frank facts . meanwhile in munich disappointment and distress on and off the pitch. i'm going to do him and hold another teenage rabbit's house of their hands. we take a special look at the brain does the good goal scorers because from all of europe's top 5 leagues the most goals per game the non-school would wear messi and edmonds are played nor in the country that boasts neymar and pay and no it's not the premier league that. it's and neck and neck race between it's a nice area and the bundesliga. where in both over 3 goals again is the norm for the shopping shooter of the more robot leavened stand out injured and his

team is a bit frazzled without him but there are plenty of other marksman to keep an eye on like dortmund's elling holland in a direct. and frank 1st andre silva up against evolves books bound may cost. and that's where we get the show. when most work needs some bites they tend to vow to be cost the dutchman was the match winner in the reverse fixture against frankfurt in december. and. there's no. going to move we still have a score to settle from when they beat us of their place the way it's a game between 2 teams who have been having a fantastic season. and this is the man. on the scoring front andre

silva who grabbed the winner. with 22 goals to his name this season forsberg had reason to fear the 2nd most lethal striker. on a great run playing with a lot of confidence we're winning a lot on the road too it's going to be a really cool game. and it didn't take long to get cracking forsberg and serge immediately took control of proceedings in frankfurt. with a cost laid off to reach the back of. one nail after just 6 minutes back to captain of germany's under $21.00 team with an unstoppable. he has still looking cool in the ring his team had always scored in the previous 22 outings and lo and behold just 2 minutes later. that week she come under fire at home thanks also to a neat dummy from sebastian holder. and not the quality

goal in what was already living up to its top class billing. as for up to strike his big cost the struggling to find those killer positions. while at the other end silva found himself stopped in his tracks by bob's book keeper could because styles . the portuguese striker then proved more effective down the wing besting parts maxim select club before pulling the ball back into the box. for a thumping finish by luca your bitch frankfurt's 2nd quality striker back on loan from rail madrid and grateful for the excellent assist. frustration for of a constant his team mates as they went into the break she's one down but just 36 seconds into the 2nd half the cost was looking a lot happier. while frankfurt was still finding that bearings the dutchman's

deflected efforts took his tally to 80. but it would be only another 9 minutes until the next goal this time silva himself burying the ball pasta stuff was. restoring frankfurt's lead with his 23rd of the campaign. says they came desperately close to goal number 20 full but eric picked up the rebounds to give the hosts a 2 goal cushion. a crazy game of football and with half an hour still to go the wolves were never just going to lie down. and 5 minutes from the end the visitors bit back because the strikers goal from maximilian philip except it was more of a joint effort with frankfurt's to. a footballing face that went down to the wire but despite scoring 3 times in frankfurt it wasn't to be for voters like. was normally perfect on our side is our

defense that's a big big quality of us and today. there wasn't and 4 goals is to much as we don't see if it's amazing to end up winning this game. a lovely afternoon future and old. after dortmund now vosburgh the 2 top sides in succession just brilliant. fitted to the honest against his fellow austrian counterpart himself that now left dortmund languishing 10 points for spot for the receipt of a do or die visit to stuttgart. when dortmund host has to got in december they were on the wrong end of a 51 thrashing to see how far had to go but the result left lasting damage. it's impossible to put the reverse picture out of your head phones we were so

disappointed after we listen to you from behind will be short address some of the issues from that game. and having a bit of a rage is ok when you're going into a match like this is when you get this guy was sorely missed back then erling hole and dormice 21 goal super striker who was hoping to make amends. just took guts opponents clearly made their presence felt early on there was to be no easy going for the norwegian. shortcuts actually had a more fruitful evening after winning possession in his own half in the 17th minute the striker slowly trotted up field while the ball made its way out to born a source on the left wing and who popped up in the box to meet the cross. that's the 5th head in a row for collages set up by sosa defending or just

a mountain of a task against a 2 meter tall man a nice finish to move he started himself all the same. bad news for taxes not least with his team mustering just one real chance in the 1st half this. shot from marco royce. i have. the only real sign of a gut reaction from dortmund was much homos having to retire at half time due to stomach cramps. but the visitors came out for the 2nd half looking a much hotter prospect. was and with the 2nd half just 2 minutes old jude bellingen ran on the jury in his knock down to 5 dormant level with his 1st goal in the been a sneaker. after playing a starring role against manchester city in the week he seemed determined to ensure he'll be back in the champions league with dortmund next season was in just 5 minutes later the home side where

a hot for 3 points for dortmund the 19 year old academy product looked a bit overwhelmed especially by the heartfelt congratulations from holland like to go on what we need is you know to win all the rest of our matches and. you know it's easy to say this but we have to go out there and do it and have performances like. it wasn't easy even if our matchday hero made it look that way. and still got the count turned hero with his very 1st shots on goal in gemini's top flight he's now told men's 15 age film score of the season. starts now he doesn't have. to go. to sleep. i mean when you're still mislead by results or scold you go niceish the next day

but it's one step back so. it was an incredible week for the 19 year old's top to get to his 1st champions league starts the school of the match where not much to the joy of his teammates fans his coach. now to the compacts with another slew of his. labor couzens top score is lucas a laryea with 10 goals to his name so far this season and starting for coach on a small. well hoffenheim 14 goal striker andre cameras on the other hand started on the bench the guests in red apply the pressure early on but clear goal chances were few and far between. in the 25th minute charles and he's at least got a decent shot off. and edmund talks about made it back just in

the nick of time to keep christopher baumgartner from heading into the on the rand remains goalless time. jeremy frimpong attacking attempts is all you need to know about the 2nd half. although so much was at stake for live a coup is a. they failed to win on the road again. both florey and co photons union now goes man are arguably missing a main goal threat with no member of their squads hitting double figures so far this season but who cares when you have one defeat what team goals like this finished by danny on a mole. brought in to fill the void left by chemo vanno was on its own this will go to the only school 3 bundesliga goals before the weekend but found his form in braman to true strikers finishes before half time might help him finish the season on
