happened there are 2 versions you know mexico city is it's an hour. had passed. many arabs went so we're confident one of the versions. in 2017 and great damage to the structure and other branches that i'm glad. they went the project are clashing with one of the columns that hold together the breach and that's why it collapsed but if you are me to actually know. what happened. polina tell us i mean this area. tell us a little bit more about where this happened and the number of people who would have been there at that time. well mexico treated as really key for the residents of the of the cd it's key for us show.

them in some ways ancient in the west are we out of the cd. the cd have 16 c.d.'s with it in kind of we call them. delegations so it happened in flower walk in the west of mexico city in the night there's still a lot of passengers going on it happened at $1025.00 local time in the night so it was pretty packed to see. journalist reporting from mexico city where as we've been hearing authorities saying that at least 20 people have been killed dozens more injured in a metro accident there in the capital polina thank you so much for bringing us up to date about what is happening right now on the ground. let's have

a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world. hong kong's chief executive kerri lamb says that her government is working on new legislation to tackle quote the spread of misinformation hatred and lives or announcement coming amid a crackdown on democracy and press freedom in the territory which is ruled by china . right. in the united states f.b.i. agents have shot an armed man outside of the headquarters of the central intelligence agency the suspect attempted to drive into the compound in langley virginia triggering an hour's long standoff he was taken to the hospital but his condition is unknown. germany's october 1st has been canceled for a 2nd year in a row the very in premier marcus sitter says that the safety risks are too high as no one knows how long the pandemic may last the annual festival in munich celebrate a beer and a variant culture normally draws 6000000 visitors for the number of corona

virus cases in india has officially top to 20000000 as the crisis tightens its grip many experts believe that the real figures for deaths and infections are much higher than the official tally at the same time supply shortages are hampering the national vaccination drive and the health care system is buckling under the weight of new cases. there is no room for these patients at this hospital instead they are made to wait outside and let hoping that the oxygen supply will hold out as ambulances queue at hospitals and other means of transport also taking on a crucial role trains are india's lifeblood it's tracks holding freight and people across the country's vast land mass today they also offer a lifeline and 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 admit converted into isolation wards there's a separate coach for the doctors that's 12 isolation 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 by. ingenuity and improvise ation doing their bit to stem the rising tide of coronavirus deaths but it's not enough to shield the modi government from anger over its failure to prevent this deadly 2nd wave of the pandemic. it was a contribution factor to an unexpected loss for the prime minister's b.j. a party losing an important state election in west bank go.

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 for more let's bring in. chief. 20000000 infections reported in india how are authorities trying to reverse the search. i said i have 300000000 and you think the factions in the country are being for my system for india now the government is trying to sell it to the 2nd way that india is now see it's doing this to frictions in the. fuse in many parts of the country who do care and dandy in fact in one form the number of new infections in

the past 24 hours. lost in about 20 or so of those malteser for free that this is to do with the lockjaw that we rant here daily and the 2nd one said that the indian government has an active girl the surge is vaccination they started this in january and now that it's kind of the best summation anyone h. of the so the vaccination program is going to underway in derry yesterday some 40000 people between the ages of 18 and 44 came out and this is important to note because a lot of young people are getting infected. and you know even still the operator were hearing about severe shortages of vaccines in fact and people wondering how is that india one of the world's biggest suppliers of vaccines in this situation. don't you see i'm like many of the states and you dear are completely. backseats no you don't have enough to get this new phase of the

vaccination program until we. can get back to me to india has the once manufacturing vaccines that simply need to see to institute. that here critical bill along with another indigenous maximization company doing this next nation program but it seems that even underestimated. after the end of the. gansa and the next nations islam it's not. the situation doing just what. the countries. that many. people do still have them but it was who started trying to get vaccines from overseas for example russia is. that's known to be used it as the next guy. and that was. our delhi bureau chief speaking with me earlier here some other

developments in the pandemic sri lanka has imposed tough new restrictions in an effort to contain the spread of the coronavirus public gatherings and weddings are banned and schools will remain closed until further notice cambodia is set to lift its lockdown in the capital phnom penh despite other another record rise and daily cases the country is battling its worst outbreak to date and north korea has warned its citizens to brace for a prolonged struggle against the virus the un has earmarked nearly 2000000 vaccine doses for pee on yang but it's unclear how and when those shipments will arrive. for now will tourism ever go back to what it was before the pandemic that question is high on the agenda at talks between g 20 culture ministers today and it seems overseas visitors may be able to enjoy holidays in europe again this summer the european commission has outlined plans to reopen borders for travellers fully

inoculated with an approved vaccination the aim is to kick start tourism but all 27 e.u. member states must 1st approve the plan while addressing variants after months of bloomy pandemic news in brussels finally some cause for optimism on an e.u. press conference essentially the commission is proposing to ease restrictions on non-essential travel to the e.u. to take into account the progress of vaccination campaigns and developments in the epidemiological situation world wide 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 under law 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 is a case of developing digital proof that 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. and let's get more we are joined now by eduardo sencion derek he is the executive director of the european travel commission an association representing the national tourism organizations of european countries thank you so much for joining us on d.w. news are the e.u.'s plans to ease border restrictions anough to get tourism back up and running in the block. well we don't want to quantify if it's enough or not i think it's there for the good news after

a very gloomy picture of our sector for more than a year now so i think we can leave behind the numbers of 2022 desperate numbers as you know a sector completely on hold and we have many reasons to be optimistic or produce upcoming summer season i think there are 2 inflection points here in the european union 1st of all the rollout of bikes nation we told or heavily criticized by many people to working men maybe a smaller place in the world but if it's group already its effects on on the health systems the 2nd inflection point is obviously the dream pass announced by the european commission which we allow european citizens 1st you know to move around the block but also eat open the possibility of the by the european commission to. welcome or saw from their account is such

a few were say and china for instance for these upcoming time much earlier as we thought i think that they should plan is to when and how and this is something that it's been discussed this morning write you much of the digital pass and i'd like to ask you a little bit more about that because i mean you know the argument on the other hand is that it simply will not be ready in time for the summer so i'd just like to ask you generally speaking with what has been put forward now where do you see the potential pitfalls in the plan and how do you think it will work actually in practice as we head into the summer months. well we've been saying from the bring up the pandemic eat all really. depends on competence on cross i'm a member states we're talking about the tool that from a technical point of view is not it's not rocket science it's pretty easy to use it's very friendly for users and they should here is that we have to have a very safe and very few process of private data as you know the

commission has and mounds of these comes with us of absolutely. the protection and all beastly privacy protection and a principle of nondiscrimination so i think something that has being not very well to playing these pos is not only provide to native people it's just. there for a neighboring did the act of traveling again and people with other bikes nation will be able to travel to i think that has been a rule very well in. society that this is only for black native people from inside or out of the european union that's a that's a very good point give us an idea because i mean as we mentioned you're representing the national tourism organizations of european countries so obviously you're hearing what a lot of them are saying in terms of how critical it is to get tourism back up and running what has the financial impact of the pandemic been on the industry here in

europe just briefly. well the other sector has seen a 70 percent drop of revenue doing 2020 and up to $11000000.00 jobs are now at 3 so we're talking a huge krises not only of the sector but their whole and if i may say by you a change related to 3. transportation gastronomy themes related. trends rares have very different viruses sector through that means so we see this summer as the really only hope that we have to revive a 630 weeks makes counties very dependent on all the need and you know percent of utopia and u.d.p. people forget the amount of the rate coming direct jobs so it's not only about going to the holy days of congress tourism is about or there isn't related to you know like high education and people who are also from that yes but up from you know coming back to be had their primaries thank you so much and what

a sometime back executive director of the european travel commission we appreciate it it's thank you so much for the us tech billionaire bill gates and his wife melinda are divorcing after 27 years of marriage the couple say that they will carry on working together at their foundation they focus on environmental and health causes among them citing the coronavirus. bill and melinda gates more than just one of the wealthiest couples in the world for decades their names have been synonymous with charitable giving on an unprecedented scale but now the 2 have used twitter to announce they're going their separate ways world after a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship we have made the decision to end our marriage we will continue our work together at the foundation but we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives. ever hear bill gates who became the

richest person in the world as the founder of microsoft married melinda french in 1904 together they founded the bill and melinda gates foundation in 2000 which has spent over $50000000000.00 fighting poverty disease and inequality and in the past year more than a $1000000000.00 fighting the coronavirus only way to eliminate the threat of this disease somewhere is to eliminate it everywhere. this illusion is not changing the rich countries that are doing the natural thing of wanting to protect their people the solution is to vastly increase the manufacturing capacity so we can cover everyone as soon as possible for now the question of what will happen to the couple's $130000000000.00 fortune is between them and their lawyers. well had to vera lynn have been back in action in the blood to seek after a 2 week coronavirus quarantine after sitting out 3 games they are now keen to pull

themselves out of the relegation zone against minds after could only manage a one all draw. being 2nd to last in the standings this late in the season means your im big trouble could is here to berlin come back strong from their quarantine and rack up some points against both spend sun's minds. got them on the way after 36 minutes. change that set. a perfectly designed and executed free kick headed in by the frenchman to open the scoring for hair. but it took mines only 5 minutes tourist but. phillip will win it netting his 1st one just the get go. and what an unstoppable beauty it was. and that's how it ended one

and. pick up only one point though it could prove crucial in their battle to beat the drop. khloe itself made history as the 1st asian woman and the 2nd woman ever to win the best director oscar but viewers in her native china were not able to enjoy her triumph the ceremony was censored along with all mentions of so in the media her film nomad land which won best picture hasn't opened there the backlash began in march when beijing discovered an interview that the director gave 8 years ago. the world is talking about filmmaker chloe except china where the director of the oscar winning film nomad land was born the reason is an interview gave him 2013 where she described china as a place where there are lies everywhere she and her film have been censored from the internet in china so have people in beijing heard of her.

sorry i haven't heard anything. i haven't heard her name very young. this man decides what people in china are allowed to see right after taking office president xi jinping declared that art has the fundamental responsibility to serve socialism he's increasingly been using china's economic might to censor hollywood as well. thanks to the pandemic last year china was the biggest film market in the world with some 2000000000 euros in revenue now we're in a situation where offending the chinese government means potentially being shut out on the largest box office in the world and that is an increasing source of pressure on hollywood decision makers to play ball. so hollywood has really edited films for the chinese market like bohemian rhapsody the bio pic of freddie mercury lead

singer of the band queen in patrolling his life it addresses his homosexuality including a scene of a kiss which was removed from the chinese release. a scene recreating a famous music video in which mercury dressed in women's clothes was also cut homosexuality is taboo in china. in a report titled made in hollywood censored by beijing james taker analyzes the self-censorship by the us film business hollywood enjoys this reputation of being an industry that speaks truth to governmental power to see that it's sort of free pass that the industry overall is given to beijing to influence their movies is disappointing. china's president knows that if he controls hollywood he also controls what the rest of us see and what we feel. is hollywood being willing

to change content for the global release of the movies not just the version of the movies that show in china so that the chinese communist party censureship dictate actually affect what the entire world watches chinese posters for nomad land had already been printed before the ban china's propaganda apparatus loves films that are critical of the u.s. not criticism of its own country nomad land is unlikely to ever be shown in china. you're watching news a quick reminder of our top stories authorities in mexico say that at least 23 people have been killed in a metro accident an elevated rail line collapsed sending a train plunging to the ground to low and trapping cars under the rubble officials say that a support being gave way dozens more people have been injured and transferred to a nearby hospital. the number of coronavirus cases in india has topped 20000000

many experts believe the real figures for death sent into actions are much higher supply shortages are hampering the national vaccination drive and the health care system is buckling under the weight of new cases. up next sunday that news close up close to scotland could the outcome of this week's election eventual lead to the breakup of the united kingdom as a looming question to stay with us if you can hear i d w i'm sorry kelly in berlin thanks for watching take care.
