have their hopes for a full. 10 years after the arab spring. rebellion starts june 7th on d w. this is d w news live from berlin the european union the unveils plans to welcome tourists again national vaccination programs are speeding up and that means europe's borders could reopen in time for the summer holidays also coming up india's agony isn't letting up hospitals make emergency appeals for oxygen as the health care system

crumbles during the world's biggest surge in corona virus infections. and giving a voice to the voiceless on world press freedom day d w on as a nigerian investigative journalist who risked her life to explorers in justice. i'm jarid ray thank you very much for your company overseas visitors may be able to enjoy holidays in europe again this summer the european commission has outlined plans to reopen borders but only for travelers fully inoculated with an approved vaccination entry is currently limited to visitors from a few countries with long infection writes the imus to kickstart tourism all 27 ilya member states must 1st approve the plan. while dressing variance after months

of gloomy pandemic news in brussels finally some cause for optimism at an e.u. press conference the commission is proposing to ease restrictions on non-essential travel to the e.u. to take into account the progress of taxation campaigns and developments in the epidemiological situation worldwide europe's attractions beckon but potential visitors are likely to encounter different rules in different countries after months of lockdown france will begin relaxing its nightly curfews this month reopen cultural sites and allow cafes bars and restaurants to offer outdoor service in germany overnight hotel stays for tourists are currently forbidden and no date has been set for reopening in person dining in many places a nighttime curfew remains in effect and some destinations are even off limits for nonresidents some countries that depend heavily on tourism are pushing for a full reopening in time for the summer to help things along greece as advocated

developing digital proof the travelers have been vaccinated or tested negative for corona virus but on a continent where many countries are slow to digitise some worry this proposal could delay rather than hasten their holiday in the sun. or earlier we asked our brussels correspondent georg mattis that if approved would this be binding or would either member states still be able to make their own rules. as in so many cases the u.s. a couple of states who cooperate and in this case that is also what they hope to achieve to facilitate travel to have one rule that applies for everyone but if member states do choose to opt out they're free to do so at what we have a situation is the right now is rather a lot of member states like greece for instance where the tourism industry is really important who already say we we already apply these measures if you are vaccinated you can already come and spend your holidays it was not as in brussels

there to india now where the coronavirus crisis remains the worst in the world the national vaccination campaign is being held back by supply shortages and the health care system is buckling as infection numbers approach 20000000 hospitals are appealing for emergency oxygen supplies to treat desperately ill patients. there's no room for these patients at this hospital instead they're made to wait outside and left hoping that the oxygen supply will hold out. as ambulances queue at hospitals other means of transport are also taking on a crucial role trains are india's lifeblood tracks holding freight in people across the country's vast landmass like arteries today they also offer a lifeline this locomotive pulls

a precious cargo oxygen headed to the worst hit areas. india's railroads have been drafted into the country's emergency response in other ways too. 11 train coaches have been converted into isolation wards there's a separate coach for the doctors that's 12 us elation coaches available here there are 2 oxygen cylinders in each coach and we've set up 9 air coolers as well sprinklers on the ceiling control the temperature 16 patients can be accommodated in each coach and sanitation waste disposal arrangements have also been made. ingenuity and improvisation are doing their bit to stem the rising tide of coronavirus death. but it's not enough to shield the modi government from anger over its failure to prevent this deadly 2nd wave of the pandemic. the backlash was felt last week when the prime minister's

b j p party unexpectedly lost an important state election in west bengal. much like the surgeon infections this is not what modi had in mind when he declared the end of the pandemic at political rallies all over india after this miscalculation his political fortunes may be linked to the coronavirus more closely than ever. and here are some of the other headlines making news today suspected islamist militants have killed about 30 people in eastern became a faster security sources say dominate tatar villages near the border with new jab al qaida and the so-called islamic state have killed thousands in an insurgency and became a fast so a 1000000 more have fled their harm's german police have shut down a major internet platform that shared images of child sex abuse involving toddlers officials say the darknet site was one of the biggest in the world and had been

ball when you cut this is the law and justice party came to power in 2015 the government broad public broadcasters under its control in addition it has huge state advertising to favor a loyal outlet in the world press freedom index the country is now at position $64.00 down $46.00 places in 6 years but the government says it's low ranking it's politically motivated. but i think poland is an example of how things should be when it comes to free media and criticism of the government everyone has the right to criticize and they make use of it. probably quicker. there's an open house car has a new job at the regional internet platform to take over for former newspaper was put on hold by a court in warsaw for now but as you know by his car is war it. press freedom is

certainly when it comes to democracy in poland. if this freedom vanishes there will be consequences. a problem well known in brussels the e.u. commission says they are concerned but cannot do much about it we don't have still sufficiently strong e.u. legislation which would protect the media so it is not so easy to take decisive action journalists in paul and want to fight for their independence just like they were calling in hungary or slovenia but they also see they need to see more action from brussels to defend media freedom in the european union and marking world press freedom day d.w. has awarded its annual freedom of speech award to nigeria an investigative reporter to border. from an early i have already stored out for women's rights and called

and can get on compete with its asian neighbors in the ultra competitive global market for electric cars. this is the business i'm joined now the milan in berlin so happy you can join us the maker of the hit game for tonight is facing off with apple in a u.s. court today at stake control over its very lucrative app store games brought the case after it was kicked off the app store for employment. it's own an app payment system bypassing apple's 30 percent commission on app purchases the case could have profound implications for how apple charges companies a crucial part of its business model. and this parody of the famous apple commercial $984.00 epic games takes a swipe at the giant but unlike in the original here apple is portrayed as

a kind of big brother suppressing humanity the video is part of epic games attempt to win over gamers in the dispute with apple and this is really the 1st shot across the bow toward apple in terms of defending their move they charge developers and apps is for now to old to mostly go off of that store because we do it themselves and this is something it's not just about epic it's about the industry everyone's watching this closely to see if apple old like to defend its move or if there's any sure judgment against it which would have a massive ripple impact. spotify dating out maker match and many other companies also say that apple's 30 percent commission on all app store sales is too high apple says such sums are not unusual there are similar fees on playstation x.-box and google play stores. apple argues running the app store is expensive

$500.00 apple employees check every app around the clock for damaging bugs or viruses. the case is so serious apple c.e.o. tim cook will also testify in court brings absolutely the crown jewel about and this is something they're not thinking whitely an apple is really a mac aggressively illness and that's why we should be in terms of those who are kids as well as all the testimony that comes out but it's no shock at all that coke will be testifying it's hard to tell which ways the case could go one thing is clear the verdict should be made at the end of may in any case ethics hoping to take a bite out of apple's hard won reputation. for. joining us now is michael kors amano the deputy dean at mit sloan school of management welcome to the program we've just heard both arguments laid out there who do you

think has the strongest case. well i tend to think apple has a strong his case the app store is a critical part of what apple offers and it's taken many years to put that app store in the place that it is and it's fundamental to the value of the i phone i'm very sympathetic to after developers and companies like epic and it's possible that if they continue with court cases like this apple can change its pricing fees it already reduced its fees to small developers companies with under a $1000000.00 so i think there's room to negotiate over this but ending the app store as the window into the i phone applications world is a tough thing to do it's really part of the platform it doesn't sound like you expect a whole lot of impact to come out of this case is that

a fair assessment well as i said it's. the case is already putting pressure on apple to adjust its fees it can't make a special deal with $1.00 company. because that opens up a pandora's box there's over a 1000000 applications in the app store at times it's been closer to $2000000.00 and there's no possible way apple could negotiate special deals with all those companies so it has to have a a set of rules that it uses to to govern its ecosystem of app developers. but you could argue the 30 percent charge is high there's not a lot of direct costs associated with that essentially it's a transaction platform. but apple provides a lot of services to its users and app developers checking for viruses etc but also

you're paying for access to then the network of apple users and that's something apple has taken many years to build now zooming out of it michael what does this case tell us about the pushback big tech is getting. well i think over time governments and users are getting a bit tired of the power that platform companies have and i get i've been writing about that for many years just published a book the business of platforms it is a business and the app store is a critical part of the business for apple so there is pressure from users as pressure from the complimentary as app developers as pressure for governments you could argue the app store is a kind of monopoly since they control access to their platform. but it's. you know it's a gateway that they've built it's possible court where some courts around the world

might decide that these app stores are illegal monopolies but. that really challenges the whole idea of the platform but there are things that apple could do i think that they could easier for these complimentary developers michael cusumano he's the deputy dean at the mit sloan school of management thanks for your time today ok thank you now to the looming and of an arrow warren buffett perhaps america's most famous investor has named a successor to lead his holding firm berkshire hathaway and carter has more on this for us from new york and as well we're going to tell us about greg abel the man waiting in the wings you know he was born in canada he's 59 years old that's not so unimportant if you compare it to the 90 years of buffett that he was actually in the ninety's running an energy company and then berkshire hathaway sold buffett's company got to

a controlling stake into that firm and that's how he got into the berkshire hathaway empire and 3 years ago he actually became co-chair for the business that has nothing to do with. insurance so that's where he is right now now warren buffett of course was at one time hailed as the oracle of the market how will the post buffett iraq look like when and if he decides to go. and that's an important point that you're raising here because what we heard from berkshire hathaway and from warren buffett so if something should happen to warren buffett overnight that's been a great cable what i'm steppin so for the sake of for a buffet let's hope that some time back in the future but it's interesting because there are 2 co-chairs so they risk rate cable being in charge of the non-insurance business and then there is a jihad jane always in charge of the insurance business so obviously when it comes

to the railroads and other parts so for berkshire hathaway that might be seen as more important at the moment and then the insurance on dance karta thank you very much. a look now at some other business stories making headlines. verizon is selling off its media group to private equity firm apollo global management in a $5000000000.00 deal to the list of brands include early internet pioneers a.o.l. and yahoo rise of will keep a 10 percent stake in the company. a shipment of more than 300000 doses of the pfizer buy on talk vaccine arrived in south africa on sunday pfizer has pledged to send 4500000 doses to the country by june south africa has been one of the african countries 1st hit by the pandemic. noms answer to tesla says it isn't just interested in taking on a verse thailand and indonesia electric car maker vin fast has its sights set on

a crazy friend. because . one man is heading for the 7th time in one season the took another is moon's come should be here for the 2nd time in a moment. comes to colleagues can be cowed into german culture stereotypes to go personal seekers. cutting. w. . the little guys this is the sub in the 7 percent step up for what often is truth to these issues. you know where to start out

we're not afraid captain delicate topic africa's population is growing. and young people clearly have the solution. becomes. a 77 percent. chance on d w. scotland is wild expansive and beautiful place a land of breathtaking countryside. bustling city. the goal of life and of course full of scots many of whom are wondering these days what it actually

means to be scottish. there's always that sense of community in the chinking that's what you get from scottish people and i pride myself on not people just telling you how they feel they don't want to go about it to any enough lot of monarchs the worst over stapled if you like to. do england i think is wrong and the other way from other plays scots feel they are fundamentally different from their english neighbors and want to be governed differently as well and particularly since brits . once grounded mainly in the realm of folklore the idea of the scottish character may now have serious political ramifications for the united kingdom.

when. the 24 year old sophie galt doesn't need a home office her workplace is already isolated and very well ventilated. but it's in the middle of scotland in the heart of the highlands at the foot of ben alder. sophie spends the whole day outdoors among the mountainous logs and more lap. my dear hunter you know the basics the deer and day and not but i truly know it's working with everything from the tiniest blade of grass right up to the clouds in the sky. finally. getting the horses is also one of her tasks and even unskilled workers can help her. fingers and the others are already waiting

. in the summer the working ponies carry the deer carcasses down the mountain. in winter they need more to eat than the barren highlands can offer. a young scots woman says the becoming a deer hunter was the best decision she's ever made. in school it's. something i'm really proud of. her and with wildlife on the scottish wildlife visit can see the stags in the distance. scotland even more there's always that sense of community in the chicken that's. before i praise myself i'm not going well scotch humor. sophie works on a private estate near darwinian the highlands in non pandemic times it's a popular destination for hunters and holiday makers. but sophie sees

herself as a paid environmentalist. that's thinking whether she's reforesting or restoring people more she sees her job as serving nature and the land ready. hunting as part of the. ready ready ready winter impact. older animals are particular ready today so if he spots a herd that needs. there's definitely a few although. i would prefer. they lose a lot more over the winter. so. before they get to that stage before their stuff and. then as well. it may seem cool to shoot the animals let's call it one has the highest density of red deer in europe and they breed like rabbits. left unchecked

so if you explains the population would grow so fast that the animals would over graze the land star or succumb to diseases. but these hinds are in luck today they're too far away for sophie to get a clear shot. they've just got there a little bit of a fright but they know there's no threat so they've already. started walking towards them they would. well the. stalking them would take until evening. since it's not possible to shoot today it stays quiet on bed all day. but this refrigerated rooms contents are testimony to sophie's hunting skills.

sophie loves her work caring for the animals all she has to do is rattle the food box and they come running down the mountain. i did the front to sophie's favorite amish. sophie's job may seem cut off from the world at large but she's always thinking about the bigger picture. when i know in 10 years the things i'm doing in the job will affect everything from on the state to the waiter. and not some magic thing and that's i suppose that's a bit of a legacy. as we see again and again on our journey it's hard not to follow up with scotland. and the desire to express this love is not just

felt by scott's. fishing dirt out of the water raking up leaves maintaining the concrete. keith who is english and david who is scottish have spent many a weekend doing this for the last 20 years. these mysterious mounds which the men treat with such love are part of the world's largest 3 dimensional map of a country. it's in peoples in the scottish borders region. when keith 1st discovered the map while on a walk in 1907 it was completely overgrown. looking down into the undergrowth i noticed the shape and. the shape of the mole of galloway which is a very conspicuous peninsula on the southwest side of the scottish coastline and at

that point i thought well no i've just got no right to it not a nation. just out of curiosity i thought but it can't be if it were then if i walked northwest i should find an island and to cut a long story short 10 minutes later i had walked north. discovered ben logan and walked across around the. climbed over ben nevis and arrived at the north coast of scotland at the white house to ensure realizing that this was a. relief model for the whole of scotland. the relief model features all the mountains and lots of the scottish landscape. keep a nuclear engineer set out to find the creators of his patriotic work to no avail. lost in the local memory. and. being an engineer.

this offended me because a lot of creative design effort went into producing it who had made it and why and it eventually led to me discovering my colleague david cameron. david cameron is a retired architect from edinburgh is part of the tree. that the relief was the brainchild of yon tamasha a polish 2nd world war veteran who had married a scottish one. became a successful local hotel and bought the barony castle hotel in people. he wanted to create a monument to express his love for his adopted country. calling it the great polish map of scotland he had his compatriot puzzling me out of office fly into a building. david had met causing yet to trough us in the early 1990

s. . the polish photographer was quite elderly and hadn't been to scotland for a long time. he asked david to search for his relief map. this was. told tall weeds a pool of water on the left here. and cartridge shells everywhere from clay pigeon shooting. and i reported back to him and he was so sad about it if you look at this it put all this time and do it all these trips over and so i just made this rush promise. david hadn't got very far with his promise until keith stumbled upon the map. the 2 men founded a charity scotland and in 2018 the relief was finally fully restored. at the time britain was still a member of the e.u.

with scotland in the same political union as poland of course this is no longer the case for heading for troubled waters here because i i have supported breaks it very strongly for a long time and still do so this is where david and i diverged i think it's a romantic idea that experience has shown to be totally impractical and i think a european union is a dysfunctional mess showing no signs of getting its act together i'm not going to accuse piece of having matter in most of my mind or anything like that but i think . shall we say although we're one aisle and i think somehow my impression is that the english people inshallah. and perhaps. more sober looking at least that's how i like to think of it more and more scots

believe that their country would be better off if it were as independent as it looks here in this pond. david is no fan of the government of london and believes in the fundamental differences between the scottish and english were ignored. but he sees a total detachment from england as an impossibility if only for geological reasons . i think israel are interesting in a way that scotland in fact is you know logically part of the north american plate. and at one stage there would have been a sea between scotland and england when scotland. england england went underneath and then volcanoes came off in the light and so were several state board if you like to. do england i think is rather difficult to get away from the. problem that the shetland islands do not have.

they don't fit on the relief map at all they're so far north of the scottish mainland closer to norway than to edinburgh. yet shetland is still quintessentially scotland with its beautiful landscape and sparse population. the sense of community here is important and people take a great deal of pride in their small islands but there's a lot of curiosity about the wider world too. shetlanders have been buoyed by their oil which was 1st discovered here in the 1970 s. . the revenues from the oil industry have been invested wisely in the local community to build roads and public institutions. now with an eye on the future shetlanders are slowly transitioning to wind power.

yet fishing is still the major source of income and. more fish are caught here than in england northern ireland and wales put together. victor lawrence and isn't catching anything at the moment. he's been stuck in the harbor for over a month. before he can take his ship the radiant star out along the west coast for self employed fishermen means a spare part from sweden the them. that's . the stupidest thing. to do but if. you know what you mean i don't.

know. the majority of the fishermen all over the united kingdom voted for it. because it isn't the only one who disapproves of european colleagues encroaching on british waters. with their huge ships they take more than their fair share of the cash. yeah yeah. the church bells in the crowd town hall of blair wake are still like big bad. but now that britain has detached itself from the e.u. and scotland wants to separate from britain the desire for independence has spread to shetland to.

stephen coots and the other local councillors think that shetland should liberate itself from both britain and scotland. benefit to the local community like it should. we want just thought that video. of the decisions. the westminster parliament. but these are life. any local political accountability. victor wants no more discussions about independence it costs him 1000 euros for every day he spends at sea in fuel alone he has 2 children and doesn't want any more uncertainty about the future.

if. your way to be. if your. solidarity and sticking together are things scots talk about often. but ideals in reality are not always aligned. glasgow is certainly familiar with this. old working class city is a tough place. struggling to combat drugs violence and unemployment. is scotland's biggest city it's also the center of design culture and literature. on buchanan street in the city center we meet up with janie god like. the comedian

is well known all over the country. in 2020 she won the scots speaker of the year award. the 59 year old has lived by the river clyde all her life i love the freedom . this is the this is. what you get that's what you. get that's. glasgow was a poor and it brought in so many people from all over the world and. that is well you know we have problems like you have this site. in the world but the one flying a big loss was this people just tell you how they feel they don't go a boat. on the floor to. some deal. you don't get. is still in. jail he grew up poor married young and ran the public her husband for 15 years. when they had to give it up she

became a comedian. for many here she has become the voice of scotland funny honest and unpretentious. but some people cannot stand her. oh my boyfriend. one reason is that she's anything but ladylike. comedians. when we swear especially a female because if your portion angle a female and waiting is sounds like you're just being cheeky but if you're a female and you're. not you really mean a. lot. like everyone else in showbusiness jamie's life has been hard hit by the coronavirus. this is the biggest audience upload some smart. i get everyone from oh that's. how you

did not one of them. tough tough. but her online audience is larger than ever. indeed jamie's popularity has grown along with that of nicholas sturgeon the scottish 1st minister. the coronavirus statistics are not much better in scotland than england but sturgeons empathetic manner and factual information are one people. journey does a voice over a sturgeon's daily briefings in her own words the 1st minister started to do these daily briefings i decided the message just became love love love and i thought well we're going. to be. attention you know get attention sort of so i started to do and see the things she's really wanted to see like status but i'm going to die i

am going to top the clock. i became her. translator basically i don't. i'm going to do what's right for the country a father rush things through and people die i almost think see that's going to begin with but this is then. for months a consistent majority of the scots have said that prime minister boris johnson is going too far. the english politician is extremely unpopular here. jenny also hopes that nicola sturgeon will win the election to the scottish parliament and me and that there will then be a 2nd referendum for scottish independence. that has made a fundamental difference to the situation. we were told by can 2014 we and people who support and the bands as we've wanted independence they would protect and keep

it up. and it's basically a mom and dad same like going back terribly when you were. and you will have a pony and you're going to bed you sleep in your break up and there's just a cushion in the shape of a cat instead and that's. just light they lied and they lived in the light and that's what they died. for cheney scottish independence is the only way forward. more and more scots are dreaming of being able to vote directly on the issues that affect them. the coronavirus epidemic has forced the folk singer to give to stay at home in new zealand says he normally tours through the country and sings. during the lockdown he and the other inhabitants of wanlockhead the highest village in scotland altitude was decided to start a revolution. for hundreds of years one like head is belong to an aristocratic

family. now the community wants to buy back 15 hectares of land from the current duke with a clue. why is was. talking to his 3 people feel why is that why is all this line here has this a lot just a private land or not in the u.k. because he's a jerk a very clever clues we call him and why did he do to get it for saddam to keep the course a done to private. all he does is like to recently like to shoot bugs so sky and get tax relief from the london homes you know say the done nothing. certainly nothing for the community. lincoln ritual moved from england to wanlockhead scotland. to live in a civilized self-reliant country at last as he puts it. here looking at this

area here would mean we end somewhere along that horizon line where the land that we will be hopefully boy. one 3rd of scottish land belongs to just a few large landowners. who didn't have a revolution when it did but yeah i'm not that kind of revolution you know these landowners go back into the norman conquest so. it's a it's a long time situation really you know i'm not going to get me to say much about it . instead of chasing the feudal lord off with a pitchfork and the old fashioned way they want to offer him 1600000 euros for the rugged land the barren hills and a few sheep. in the 18th century when it was worth owning the village but then duke of the clue built mines

and smelting plants there. thanks to its lead in gold reserves one market was dubbed god's treasure trove. the clue also ran a hunting lodge here. these days the tiny village is of little interest to the duke . but the wanlockhead locals love their village on their part which is after all the highest pub in scotland. during the pandemic people are keeping their distance . the only 2 tourists are from england they're impressed by david lincoln's bold plan it's the affordable housing. the decency to the internet. and just looks interesting for young people. so maybe that's why one of the things we want to do is try and create 2 local jobs. so i think what exactly is amazing last night you may. be. cool choice you.

can go to the. place of people working here. you know if your. you're doing your job and you live here and do your job one market is not alone in its endeavor all over scotland local councils have now bought up some 3 percent of the land. the scottish government to supporting this late land reform is best as a cane. if an application is convincing the state will finance the acquisition. as only about half of one lunkheads $200.00 inhabitants have voted to pay off the duke lincoln is worried he might not get the necessary funding. but he's firmly convinced that his project is part of an overall trend. this is a very different country to england with. substantially different values. much more school is much more in tune to europe than england and i'm an englishman

that's why i live in scotland so it's just a natural step. to go from there and here. in miniature is the same kind of thing isn't it. dear hunter sophie things. independence is a question of attitude. like most of her fellow scots she wanted to stay in the european union. while a slight majority of scots feel that brooks it is a good enough reason to separate from britain so few would rather wait. a pride myself and call myself spoilage 1st before i do british style love and. i absolutely love it as well but i can see where people are coming from west in the fan that's right now but if there is to be another referendum i don't think now is the time i think we'll that's ahead and things and. then once we know where

we're where we're our feet are. going then we can make another decision. independence and self-determination mean different things to different people. geography and history brought the scots to a point where many can picture a future outside the united kingdom. which only recently and only through english voters became a reality was supposed to make britain more independent. but what it has shown most clearly is just how different scotland is something that could spell the united kingdom in its current form.
