but in this israeli watertown opinions were mixed. bad, hello. this is not a fire. they should not have stopped and i don't know what will happen in a year and a half year to year. so so finally there is a see fire when they didn't hear hopefully there will be peace in the country. i'm sick of this mass color, but i got the most israel and how mass are claiming victory in the conflict. the task of rebuilding now begins with hopes the truth will last go straight to tanya cram, roberts dw respondent in guys a city, tanya, is the sci fi holding? while at the moment, at least, the sci fi seems to be holding the gaza city. of course that's also on the minds of many people. they're worried about. you know what could happen if it doesn't hold.
7:04 pm
so at the moment it is quite in gaza, but it's attend quiet. i must of course, portraying this as a victory. will the ordinary people bearing guys a c at the same way? well, i think it's a bit of a strange atmosphere on the one hand, of course, hamas and other medicine groups portrayed this other victory. but people here now are coming out of the 11 days of fighting from bartman and rock. it strikes into israel and they have to pick up where they left of 11 days ago. so it is not an easy fit all the devastation. you can see it in gaza, many thousands, tens of thousands of people have actually lost, have been displaced. so we saw some people, you know, slowly going back and seeing what is left of the home. so it is not an easy atmosphere. and of course, there's also worry about whether the fire will hold quite
7:05 pm
a lot for people to take in. how long will it be for guys to recover from all of this devastation was very hard to estimate because the situation of cause it's not easy. it has been under located for almost 14 years. that means every building material is not easy to bring it in. either from israel or from egypt. so we know that several 1000 units at least have been destroyed or severely damaged for people to live. and so this will take time to rebuild, of course. but i think at the moment the focus is on, you know, for those who have lost loved ones, you know, it's a morning period for those who are injured to, to take care of them. and also for, you know, the ordinary people are here somehow to pick up their lives. and that's going to be a difficult situation for these people to resume their lives. are we seeing any,

the sing along to come from super munsey to interactive exercises. everything is online in germany, enjoying a weekend in both in discovering the capital of the roman empire. all going for a swim on a spanish island people's hug. so high after the european union agreed upon a digital covert certificate, a travel pass for those who've been fully vaccinated already had covered 19 will have a negative p c r test result allowing travel within the u without the need for more tests. so quarantine almost as if to celebrate than use the operators of the eiffel
7:17 pm
tower. one of the biggest tourist attractions in the world announced they will reopen on july 16. i have been fooling. denmark is already using covered passports. the system's been a success. so successful, the danish government is hoping to start facing the certificates out in august along with face masks. that's when all danes above the age of 16 of been offered vaccine. his d. w. terry schultz. social life is back in full swing in denmark. so yeah, of course we're very happy to hope that we can see the guess the ticket to resuming activities inside are in large groups, is the corona pass verification that you are fully vaccinated? have in unity jacoby 19 or have tested negative within the last 72 hours. most people use a mobile phone. that is relatively light allowed to resume indoor training in early
7:18 pm
may. gym owner, liquor guard hansen has an entry system, worked out. you should be the 1st person that shows up will chick everybody else's passes and they get the shiny little head on so everybody knows so. so they, it's, natasha was a place for rona officer. your vaccine? yes. think less than 20 percent of dean's are fully vaccinated. so for most people, keeping a corona current require standing in line to be tested every 3 days, maybe half an hour, 40 minutes, and is it worth well worth it? denmark has the highest testing rate in the european union with half a 1000000 danes getting checked each day about 8 percent of the population. that provides authorities a wealth of information every day and even almost by the hour. we know the number of positive tested people in denmark. we know exactly where where are they tested,
7:19 pm
where do late they live. nielson says local municipalities can use the data to quickly intervene in case of an outbreak. but privacy advocates insist the personal information revealed by a corona path should be strictly limited. the latest version of the app allows almost total anonymity to showing whether or not you're in the clear kimberly gregory and has been working with authorities on this evolution. even though when, when we have such as serious situation in society fighting in the demick, we shall not, we shouldn't just skip our fundamental fundamental principles about it. they to security and privacy. but some feel constant monitoring should not be necessary to access social activities. they say that's a violation of their personal freedom. and if i don't want to get tested just to get in somewhere, when i, when i'm perfectly well, all the sushi is helping organize opposition to the national corona virus strategy
7:20 pm
. he views the path as an example of creeping governmental control. why should the state know like every time how often you go to union meeting, how often you go to sport clubs and different patterns of your life? but most themes welcome the system as their passport back to liberty. at least one on temperance real bar has set up its own testing center to make the wait for that precious green light more bearable with a beer. caterina ok here is an associate professor of law at the university of copenhagen, a good idea easing restrictions. at this point in the pandemic. and, you know, the one in 5 danes has been fascinated. well, i think, to be quite honest. and it hasn't been an immediate evening and restrictions, so it has been quite gradual to start with. and then basically not as many people in half the size of the models predicted. so there's been quite
7:21 pm
a lot of pressure from opposition and politicians to actually ease the restriction more quickly. i would say that big or even that makes the easing potentially that's problematic is that there's so much testing going on in denmark and you've got these digital passes. tell me about them. what needs to be on them, data wise and where do we have to be careful because of data protection? sure. and so we're now using a digital passive to basically go to a restaurant, go to the gym even, actually go to a university. and obviously this raises data protection questions like what kind of data in collective and working storage. and so one issue is that me have the data stored on the person's mobile phone and also who today. so it's been shared with. so we have a very centralized system here in denmark, and so the data is feeding directly. you get a test and then if your test is positive or negative,
7:22 pm
this data is immediately transmitted to your phone and obviously not shared with bodies beyond the health authorities, yourself and which daughter? exactly. yep. so it will be the results of your test. and then we all have a personal identification like a social security number here in denmark, which they will be willing to basically, whether it positive or negative, your name, your address, and what part of the country i would say you're living in your age. so all that information is stored in the personnel at data registry that we have here in denmark. is there anything, catarina, or if i can ask you that some governments may like to put on those digital passes that we should say stop, hang on a 2nd. no, that's going to thought i'm, you probably are definite me. yes i'm but i remember you think the question is more,
7:23 pm
who is it being shared with and for what purposes is it being used? so here and that mark is really used, that we have a really good idea of who's actually being infected and the level of testing that we have going on. it's so high. so it's 40450 size and people are being tested every day here. and the population is 5800000. so it's really helping us to identify is, are the young people or the other, the people who then predict toughest patients based on why also many people getting test that is because of the encouragement of this digital pass system that's getting them to line up and get the jap, yeah, definitely. so i mean, the testing is really high here because you need to have a negative test for all these services. and you just can't that they love them with the negative tests. and the problem on the flip side is that not it, not a very high percentage of things that actually makes it here because they chose
7:24 pm
enough to use or at johnson and johnson. so they seem, defenses are not high. and so as a result, people need to be tested to have me go to bar. but the success of denmark having is that based on the fact that it's such a small country and has such a great welfare system, i think it's definitely a really important elements and also the level of public trust here. it's also very high compared to a lot of other countries. so i think the same level of questioning has not probably happened here as they would in other countries, maybe like germany. but yes, i mean, funding mentally, all the testing, it's free here and that's an incredibly important elements. and also that there are a lot of test sensors all around the country. so i'm just 20 minutes from 2 different test centers. for example, there are also people in other countries that were worried that these pastors could
7:25 pm
create an inequitable society. yeah, i think it's a really concern. i mean, particularly if, for example, testing isn't free, i'm is a very small percentage of the people have been offered the vaccine, i think here because i think it's free. that's obviously a huge benefit. but on the other hand, i mean, i live in the capital. so there's a lot of opportunities to get tested. whereas if you live in western denmark, and in a more rural area, you're going to spend a lot more time actually traveling to a testing center to get the test. i missed a period discourage people from going to their local bar with a local restaurant because it's, it's more of a commitment to time which some people do have. but if you have young children, if you have a very busy job, it is just that much more difficult. and of course, that can leads to inequalities like i will have to wrap it up. there catarina ok here. thanks so much for being and i showed today. time to get you up. close
7:26 pm
and personal with outside corresponded derek williams. he's already had one jack. oh, have you been vaccinated? yes. so did you experience any side effects? oh, yes, i got my 1st shot about not 10 days ago, not long after healthcare at the where it is in germany, greenlighted, my priority group. it was an interesting experience because i admit, i was pretty nervous. and my appointment was at one of berlin's big vaccine centers, and there are 6 of them located in various venues around the city. when i went to is at one of the lens decommissioned airports where i've done a 1000 times before. but for a completely different reason to catch a flight, i was really kind of shocked. i have to say when i arrived at how long the lines
7:27 pm
were, the doctor who gave me my shots, said that they were administering 4 and a half 1000 doses. they are on that day alone, but, but everything actually moved really pretty quickly and efficiently and i was in and out in less than an hour. i got one of the messenger r n, a vaccines. the only side effect i experienced was, was a little bit of mild pain at the injection side. on my, on my upper arm, i have to admit that i was a little worried about that too, because a lot of friends and family have been vaccinated recently. and reactions have been pretty evenly split between those who say they feel almost nothing. and those who experienced more happy side effects like fever and chills, are aching, joints, or fatigue. but they say that reactions to messenger r n a vaccines are often worse after the 2nd dose. so, so i'm planning to take
7:28 pm
