to attend to the relatives of the victims who unfortunately died in this incident the public prosecutor's office will carry out all the investigations and will make all the expert reports to find out what happened in this accident on line 12 of the subway. line 12 construction was plagued by complaints and there are reports that damage was noticed on the overpass many years ago. a straight to mexico city that we join journalist carry on who's an international correspondent a welcome carol what's happening there now. the whole area is cordoned off and they're going to try and remove the rubble and i believe they have gotten all the bodies out and all the victims have been transported to local hospitals what's being said about the cause of this incident. well as your report showed
5:04 pm
you could see that it was on an elevated. highway an elevated platform there where the train passed over and there is giant concrete girders and it's believed that one of the girders had given out and then. it's too soon to tell but it's just a horrific sight you see where that elevated part just collapsed and the 2 trains just be shaved on to the you know onto each other and onto the roadway below luckily this is a part of the metro system that is above ground most of the system especially in the center of the city is underground all underground and this was above ground and it was also in the median so when those cars did come down they didn't crash onto the busy beltway below they crashed into the medium although there was one car that was reportedly crashed and so he was brought out alive miraculously from the crashed car but the victim it was late at night. the metro system had been
5:05 pm
underutilized because of the pandemic and it has a big area of contagion and it was before the station so that limited a lot of the fatalities but it's just a horrific sight to see just mental cables and the car dangling there style and there were reports of previous reports of cracks in the structure. yes there was a large earthquake that hit very close to mexico city and there was a lot of damage in 2017 and neighbors and users of that mine had said that they had seen cracks and there had been complaints about it this line is one of the newest that has been built in mexico city it was it opened in 2012 and it has been plagued with problems from the get go there was the inquiries about some of the construction it was close for a year maybe a little bit more in 2014 for repairs and it's just it hasn't been one of the better lines and in mexico city mexico city is
5:06 pm
a huge metro system it is back up and running now but they're going to ask about you know our thorough investigation is being demanded on this the president spoke about it this morning in his daily news conference he said that he will ask for an external investigation and anybody who needs to be held responsible will be held responsible and that's quite curious because. his foreign minister right now his current foreign minister wrestler bride was the mayor of mexico city when line 12 was opened in 2012 and he has himself said that he is willing to cooperate with any invest in any authorities necessary he's at their disposition and he was get to the bottom of why this horrible event happened. and i will take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world lebanon and israel have resumed in direct talks over their disputed sea border and the u.s. mediation because haitians between the long standing enemies stalled last year
5:07 pm
because of disagreements over demarcation lines the 2 sides are officially at war and there are recurring flare ups along the border. foreign ministers from the g 7 group of industrialized countries are holding a 2nd day of talks ahead of the leaders' summit in june many of the world's biggest geopolitical issues are on the agenda at the meeting in london including the military coup and me and now the war in syria. on kong's chief executive says the government is working on a new legislation to tackle what she called the spread of misinformation hatred and lies announcement came during a crackdown on democracy and press freedom within the chinese territory. though officials here in germany are warning of a rise in far right extremism in the country police recorded more than 23000 farai crimes in 2020 that's a 5 percent increase on last year the new statistics were published on the same day
5:08 pm
that police arrested a suspected near nazi accused of sending threats and hate mail to politicians and public figures. he's accused of sending more than 100 threatening letters signed in a suit 2.0 in reference to a right wing terror group his letters went out to politicians artists and lawyers. it's unclear if the 53 year old men acted alone what is clear however is that the man espoused unmistakable right wing extremist ideology according to authorities it's part of a dangerous trend in germany politically motivated crimes have reached their highest levels in 20 years and interior minister horsy hoffa is now raising the alarm. right-wing motivations were behind $23064.00 of the crimes committed last year. that's more than half 52 percent of all politically motivated crimes. an increase of
5:09 pm
5.7 percent. i want to be clear here the number of rightwing motivated crimes has reached the highest level since we began keeping records. sait. for. one example last year a man sort out various locations in the city of how now looking for people with known german heritage he murdered 9 people shortly after that the global coronavirus pandemic arrived in germany but restrictions on public life did nothing to decrease the number of rightwing attacks quite the opposite right wing extremists began taking part in demonstrations against lockdown measures it's a development that worries experts. these are. maturing the pandemic we've seen an ugly normalisation of anti semitic crimes and racism that threatens our collective
5:10 pm
society and the participation of those who are attacked one certain lines are crossed there's no going back. authorities doubt that the situation will improve this year and they're pushing to broaden their fight against right wing crimes. well let's speak with a member of the german parliament's interior committee this is a constantine of cooler who's an f.t.p. member of parliament and sits on not committee welcome to d.w. what is behind this this record increase in far right politically motivated crimes well 1st of all we have to bear in mind that just a few weeks ago the numbers regarding general crime were published in germany with the result that general crime in germany is decreasing during the pandemic now a few weeks after that we can see that politically motivated crime is increasing
5:11 pm
even the highest number in decades we are observing at the moment in germany and it is that appears that right wing extremists and conspiracy theorists are using the pandemic to spread their theories to spread hatred and we've been seeing this all around germany in the last weeks and months so just to be clear did do you see do you see this increase then as being right wingers taking advantage of coronavirus rather than the peak of an ongoing trend. i think there are both developments at the same time on the one hand there is a right wing terrorism in germany you've been just mentioning the incidents and hano there has been the killing of a government official and hasn't just you months ago the other attacks on minorities there are attacks on journalists on several institutions on that and on the policeman we are seeing this all around the country so this is happening and
5:12 pm
this has been happening already before the koran up iras but now these groups are obviously using the frustration that we're seeing in some parts of the society to hijack these manifestations and to combine it with their ideology and i think it is also the responsibility of those who are trying to use their freedom of assembly and they can do that to distance themselves from right wing behavior and from right wing extremism but there's more going on here isn't there because we see right wing extremists acting out on the streets but we also see. the right the far right in germany becoming respectable germany's opposition official opposition in parliament is the date so what is it about germany or about german votes but it means they want to vote for these pot is give them respectability.
5:13 pm
yes it is extremely worrying to observe that the d. in parliament is in part using the same rhetoric that is used by people who are going on the streets trying to attack policeman journalists and members of parliament and they are even attacking city councilors mayors even in smaller cities so they're not attacking only professionals but also people who are doing this in their free time so we are really. serving at the moment in germany a decrease in respect toward state institutions and democracy ok 53 the other in terms when you visit the left i really had only opportunity to have a go at me i didn't really like my question was about what is it about german society or germans in society or about german voters that means that those far right options are now respectable. well i would say that the pop
5:14 pm
lead this is the development we can see in all european countries at the same time we have the right wing extremists unfortunately in many member states parliaments in the european union and we have even heads of state like the. who are going against journalists. fueling just the same stories that are told by the i have the germany put on the other hand there's a special german responsibility when it comes to dealing with our past and i think these 2 developments are combined right now in a very dangerous way especially by the i for the thanks for joining us good to talk to a constant in cooler interior fast probes for the f.t. hey mike. corona virus infection numbers have started to fall slightly in germany and chancellor merkel says she sees light at the end of the tunnel but intensive care units are still very busy doctors and nurses have been working at their limits for months physically and mentally hoping that an
5:15 pm
accelerating vaccination program will finally bring some relief. for the past 8 days. has been caring for this covered patient in his intensive care unit the patients lungs are badly damaged symptoms the doctor sees a lot these days and sometimes there's very disorder time to act on. the parts and ultimately these patients are torn out of life become seriously ill and in some cases die within hours that has affected a large number of my colleagues and myself as well it's not easy. for. the staff here and one of the island's largest clinics try to support each other but that can be challenging like many hospitals in germany there's a lack of staff working overtime is common and time pressure is high now after more
5:16 pm
than a year of the coronavirus pandemic they are borne out. of those on those aspects and or especially around new year and now the 3rd wave of the pandemic everyone is exhausted the nursing staff but also my medical colleagues report that they are drained and i also have moments where i feel exhausted and i just want the pandemic to come to an end doing to us comes along and again. they are not the only ones the situation is similar in hospitals throughout germany. and on the outs in we know that in the years before this pandemic doctors were over 80 walking 65000000 hours of overtime that is far far too much and for some that has certainly increased significantly in the pandemic they're calling and calling up my daughters to will take the nurses and earth each in the dish into the
5:17 pm
already exhausting work there was also the threat of catching that disease. yes absolutely pretty quickly it was very stressful for us we risk aired we had a shortage of staff we wanted to do our best and also keep up with all the hygiene regulations that especially in the beginning it was hard to get protective material and such it has been an extremely tense situation to try to. staff here hoping that more widespread vaccination will finally give them some relief. well let's take a closer look at this with dr dominic he's a psychologist at bergen charité hospital welcome to day w. dr what can you tell us about the toll the pandemic is taking on health care professionals. hi thank you so much for having me so we've observed
5:18 pm
that for quite a while that health care professionals do show a lot of psychiatric symptoms such as insomnia problems falling asleep sleeping through the night i'm increasing levels of anxiety and depression and those symptoms are all related to depend demick not permit really only to people who actually work directly with co that patients and their families across all different areas of health care professionals for example a lot of nurses doctor or social workers have to face constant changes into work. and a work feel and endure shifts in their conditions people have to wear masks during their shifts people have to fill in work over hours and in addition to that of course also nurses and doctors has to face the social consequences of the pin demick to social restrictions they're not able to see their families and friends as
5:19 pm
often as they want to. they also have to work to maintain their daily routine they come home late they're exhausted. and of course they also scared themselves to corona so. there are like several factors all kinds of answers that a lot of layers to that and all you seeing an increase in health professionals seeking professional help for these are facts. we do we see them also in the outpatient clinics we also offer outpatient care for people within the hospital so we do offer i'm counseling for a hole in the wards where people have to constantly be primarily with coby patients and air relatives and families but also on the cross on the other work so we do offer here shot a team but also in other hospitals the opportunity to seek help and to get quick
5:20 pm
secular therapeutic sessions and briefly that are we likely to see long term health damage due to medical professionals once the pandemic is over well that's a question that has been circulating in the media what happens once that pandemic is over of course it's a difficult question to answer because no one really knows when it's been demonstrated and hopefully soon now that we make progress in vaccinating to population but what we see now there are long term effects of ovid on physical but also mental health and already a lot of rehab hospitals in germany are providing now a special program that is targeted people who have suffered from kogut and have long term physical but maybe also mental defectives good talking to a doctor that's very clear thank you so much dr domenica from the charity hospital
5:21 pm
thank you so much for having me to india where the number of corona virus cases has officially topped 20000000 the crisis continues many experts believe the real figures for deaths and infections are much higher at the same time supply shortages are hampering the national vaccination drive and the health 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 left hoping that the oxygen supply will hold out as ambulances queue at hospitals other means of transport also taking on a crucial role trains are india's lifeblood its tracks hauling freight and people across the country's vast land mass today they also offer a lifeline this locomotive pulls a precious cargo oxygen headed to the worst hit areas.
5:22 pm
india's railroads have been drafted into the country's emergency response in other ways to. 11 train coaches have been converted into a solution wards there's a separate coach for the doctors that's 12 isolation coaches available here for 2 oxygen soldiers 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 improvise ation doing their bit to stem the rising tide of coronavirus deaths but it's not enough to shield the government from anger over its failure to prevent these deadly 2nd wave of the pandemic. it was a contribution factor to an unexpected loss for the prime minister's 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. after 6 months of conflict the situation if you know piers teagan i region is continuing to deteriorate millions of people have been displaced and more are dependent on aid to survive with children amongst the worst affected many of them have lost loved ones to violence and nearly 5000 have been separated from their parents while running for their lives alone frightened and uncertain of the future thousands of children have become separated from their parents during the warranty cry. today they are cared for by aid workers but what
