2:04 am
the country. germany's health minister, yes, fun declared. the 3rd wave, which started back in february broken, germany's efforts to overcome the corona virus seem to be paying off, or the sharp fall in new coven infections in recent weeks. nice new hope. and the battle to be cove. it. mr. sponsor that the klein was down to both restrictions and vaccines. about 40 percent of people in germany have now received at least one dose . at easter it was only 12 percent. to give off, the 3rd wave is broken soon, but the combination of vaccinations and caution still key to maintaining the trend either if we keep bringing down the number of infections in the coming weeks and that increases the chances of a really good summer. and the head of germany is public health agency, the robert car institutes that, that reducing infections over the summer months would place the country in a good position to get through the fall and winter would be muslim. good. because
2:05 am
without the restrictions, the virus would spread again rapidly. the pandemic not over the danger has not been averted. let's use a some as well as we can, and continue looking after each other game. well here in germany, logged down restrictions are being eased in many cities, leaving people free to visit restaurants, museums and swimming pools. relax restrictions come just in time for the long holiday weekend with many hotels and camp sites also allowed to welcome guess we have a negative cobra. 1900 test or proof of vaccination. well, let's get more now for d, w chief, political correspondent, melinda crane. melinda, welcome to the day. good to have you with us. where are we finding you? i am at the proud to be a garden, which is one of the city's most traditional and most beloved beer gout. and there has been a beer garden on this site for nearly 200 years, and rarely has it miss the opening of the summer season. rarely has it seen things
2:06 am
as quiet over the past as over the past 12 months. so as you can imagine, there is a long line outside and a lot of good spirits inside. i big, big day for us here in berlin, our restaurants to in the german capital also open for the 1st time in 6 months. what's the mood like among the guess? i think what we've heard most often is at last. finally, people are relieved. they say they feel free. they feel like things are getting back to normal again and, and essentially just a feeling that they have waited such a long time for this moment because as you know, we've had restrictions in place for many months now. many, many of the people here say they haven't been to this beer garden since last september. so a lot of people really joyous and ready to start enjoying the outdoors with
2:07 am
beer. did you get a feel of how ready people are to go back to how things were? are people really ready to be in a restaurant? again? we've asked a lot of people at the tables behind me, whether they in fact feel safe and secure. and really, the overwhelming majority said, absolutely, and that's because there are still a lot of restrictions in place that long lined out in front. that's because you have to have a negative corona test to even enter. and you're, it may look like it's pretty well visited behind you, but in fact, this is only half the number of tables they would normally have. and there are restrictions in place about how many people can sit at a table with only 5 people or 2 household allowed per table. and if you look carefully, you'll see that when people get up from the tables, they are mostly at least putting their masks on. that too is one of the rules that,
2:08 am
that the city has put into place. so i know most people told us they're feeling safe and that once they heard things were open again, some of them even took the day off to come here and say, they just hope this new normal will continue. talk about that melinda jeremy. cautiously, we opening what is guiding that process science or political realities. i would say both but very much the science. there are clear rules in place about what will be allowed depending on the rate of infections. and in fact, we have seen infections decline precipitously within the last 10 days, a decline of nearly a 3rd and the rate of infection. so according to the set of rules in place, the country can now begin to cautiously relax some of the restrictions. and that absolutely is what we're seeing. now germany trajectory is headed in the right direction as you just outlined. but what about the overall numbers of illness and
2:09 am
infection right now? right now we have an infection rate of $67.00 per 100000 residents. now that is way down compared to the high rates that we saw at times in the winter of close to $200.00. and. and we also are seeing a dramatic rise in the number of people who are vaccinated. 41 percent of germans. now this weekend we're seeing a 1000000 vaccinations a week that 41 percent by the way people have been vaccinated one time, but of course they do then have some protection. so definitely the numbers are trending in the good direction. and yet we have heard very clear warnings from health officials that people need to remain vigilant. people need to remain vigilant and those numbers. i mean, what's the chance that they could basically come back and bite officials say in 2 months time, or is the german health care system in better shape now?
2:10 am
well, it's in better shape in the sense that we no longer see intensive care capacity stretched to its limits as it was at times during the 3rd wave of infection. none the less absolutely. this low could give way to a 4th wave. and officials said today very clearly in their weekly press conference, both the country health minister and the head of the center for disease control that they are concerned about the so called yo yo or boomerang effect. that if people let found their guard too much in their joy at this spring weekend, a relaxation of restrictions that we could see. infection rates rise, not least because both the british mutation and the indian variant are present in germany. and as we know, they are more infectious than the original corona variance. so people are vigilant,
2:11 am
and people here whom we talk to, they said they're enjoying it, but they are not letting their guard down. nobody wants to see us go back, turn the lock down. nobody wants that indeed. now, great news from restaurant. think conclusion, how the hospitality businesses that have been close for for half a year. do these establishment think that they will be able to bounce back quickly . we talked to the manager here and she said, you know, frankly we're taking this a day by day we're seeing how things go. she's hopeful that when the european soccer championships, the euro 2021 come around that that may bring a whole lot of business with it. but all in all she said, you know, we just have to see how it goes. but she's very, very pleased that she's been able to take her staff off of short work. essentially the system that germany has to make sure people stay employed but work less hours.
2:12 am
she's happy that they are now able to work full time once again and she said, she's cautiously optimistic, taking one step at a time. thank you so very much. when the crane d w t political correspondent, the residents in gaza and israel have been marking the 1st day of peace after a relentless 11 day war, which cost hundreds of lives. there were celebration in gaza as a ceasefire between israel and mos came into effect. the deal work with mostly by egypt carries no preconditions and leaves the conflicts she disputes unresolved. meanwhile, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has he'll be gaza offensive as an exceptional success. speaking just hours after the fire took effect, mister netanyahu warned garz's militant marshmallows against any further rocket attacks following the ceasefire. and he vowed to respond with quote, a new level of force against any expression of aggression against communities
2:13 am
around garza and any other part of israel. and he would like to welcome them for some analysis of the events, the historian, rashid khalidi edwards, the professor of modern arab studies at columbia university is written extensively on the palestinian struggle for statehood, including the 100 years war on palestine. sir, a very warm, a welcome, a fragile cease fire is holding, at least at the moment in your system. and how has how mosque come out of this conflict? i think they've come out to strengthen. but i think that if action isn't taken to address some of the causes that lead to this, and that started around events into the mosque and the attempt to dispossession of people in the neighborhood, this will just be a temporary halt. and it won't really matter who came out ahead as a result, if for example, the blockade of god is not listed the miserable condition that prevail and does not
2:14 am
improve. there is no hope for this, these fire lasting any longer than the last one. now there have been many rounds of conflict and fighting and some are saying, well, this time is different. do you feel that it's different this time or just more of the same? well i think the one difference is that people are realizing that the various issues relating to palestine and israel, our internal related the way in which is really please enter the last the must, the her 3rd holy musk and it's now firing here. got stung grenade at worshippers. mother were praying during the night of one of the drama don, i think, highlighted to people the balance of power. this involves the dispossession of people who had been made refugees in 948 or the attempt to dispossession of people in the neighborhood of jerusalem on the basis of claims that
2:15 am
if things had been making them for their properties and they would never have been accepted by, as i think these kinds of things 1st seriously res, tensions obviously and angered people, but i think also brought home certainly too many people in american public opinion around the world. the fact that these are, these are through lines that go back to 967 or 948. and these are things that really have to be addressed. so i think there is a little bit of a change, certainly in american media and political discourse around palestine and israel. but is there enough of a significant change taking place? because as you know, for instance, the european union and the u. s. designate hamas as a terrorist organization. can you all for how is, how is come os perceived in gaza and can you very briefly tell us its origin story well received? and as of right now, as having resistance, it's doing much better than it was doing 3 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago. there were some
2:16 am
political commentators in suggested that if the elections, mazily, and private phones have been held this month, i must, might have walked in. and said that worked in the bank, but i, i think that looking at it just had that as a quote unquote, terrorist organization pulls into a narrative which leaves us away from the possibility of the resolution. the british would not talk to the, nor in 1921, nor in the northern ireland. when they finally did, those things could be resolved. the clerk and the part that we have in south africa will talk to the agency when they did that was resolved. it's going to be necessary to talk to all the policy. and are you living like what they do when they don't like, i like them? and i think the demonization of how much, whatever they may have done the commission war crimes, to indiscriminate use of weapons against civilian whatever,
2:17 am
whatever the case may be. ultimately, if there's going to be a solution, the kinds of issues that have to be brought to the table have to be brought by. all the people who are involved on both side of things can say we don't like this is really government because it's for people who want to expel arabs from israel. but the israeli somehow get say we won't talk to this one or we won't talk to that one . they wouldn't talk the appeal for the longest time. i mean there are terrorists. so i think that that repeating that mantra is intended to prevent us from dealing with issues as intended to prevent a real serious attempt to end in a satisfactory and adjust the way that involves equality. for most people prefer, what can we glean from the way that the by an administration has a handle to this crisis? i mean, we spoke about a potential a shift of policy. did you see any signs of a shift of policy? i don't think there was an issue the policy united states is intervened in earlier
2:18 am
exchanges between us in much the same way using intermediaries like the difference in particular. but also i think the difference in the united states is the, for the 1st time the president has come under serious pressure from a faction of probably a minority, less significant faction within his own party. president obama did face in 2014, for in 2000. and 12, or in 2008, 2009, we'll just after it comes to office 2000. and so this, this mark something different. and i think also the media has been different. i think you hear more policy invoices, things normally are not given permission to narrate level or you don't see them. it's talking about what happens when you see israeli, israeli, or individuals. things are just a math during this round and starting and shift and with what happened in the
2:19 am
last and finally, what's happening to the 4 people guys who according to the last numbers i heard 242, were killed over 121 children and old men and women, i think that the palestinian voice and some of the core issues have begun to get through the media. you're going to enter american political discourse and i think that put some pressure on the presence of stress. so in conclusion, what would make life better for people in gaza? well, what would make life better for everybody in palestine? and this would be a resolution of the conflict by addressing issues the united states is systematically avoided addressing. you don't deal with refugees, don't deal with jerusalem and you don't deal with equal rights, then you are simply perpetuating the conflict. that's the 1st and the 2nd thing would be to end the blockade. this could be done. this isn't over human blockade. it was mounted starting in 2007 before anybody fired a rocket from god. so it is
2:20 am
a political blockade implemented for political reasons, like just very security reasons and it must be listed that by itself will change the discrete. but feeling with the basic abuses, i think has to has to be what everybody who wants to end. this probably has to address the edwards. so you professor of modern era studies at columbia university . so we appreciate you coming on the show. thank you so much for having too many asian americans waking up each morning this past year, genuinely, genuinely ferry for their safety. just open the door and walk down the street and safety for the loved ones. the moms and dads are in a letter, kids out the door to go to school. or he attacked blaine scape go to harass. during this pandemic,
2:21 am
all of this hate highs in plain sight. it hides in plain sight, and too often, it is net was silence, silenced by the media, silenced by our politics, and silenced by our history. us president joe, by their signing into law of the hate crimes. the act of last year saw a dramatic rise in anti asian hate crimes and attacks in the united states. asian american communities are raising the alarm and their organizing themselves. various police departments across the united states have set up asian hate chrome cast forces, and many more have pledged to be more visible in the streets of predominantly asian american communities. so mom's brought us this report from los angeles it's the beginning of a 10 hour shift for offices f, rain to better. and alex, actually with the los angeles police department,
2:22 am
or l a. p. p. the 2 season officers on foot patrol in china town. not just today, but every day for the last couple of months. the city was quick to commit to more boots on the ground here and then other predominantly asian american communities. i think it's very important right now. it just shows that when we come out here every day that we are here and supportive them, asian american communities all over the united states, want the support and the presence of police. this attack on a 65 year old asian woman in new york, captured on surveillance video 2 months ago and many other unprovoked n t h. i hate incident since have many here in las china town and elsewhere. you know, i'm safe and on the edge, it's all, all commute, a little bit scared and everyone's kinda a little bit nervous. so like last week the gold coming here with a long summer i and as soon we asked a question, she, we don't go closer. we call p d y away, and we didn't like to me at that come right away. and she ran out. however,
2:23 am
businesses and residents here hired a private security service that is also patrolling the community. they are afraid, the police won't always be able to protect the changing that is falling to offices like f rain and alex relationship. builder is the name of the game. they're trying to make this a priority. as long as i've been on, we've always been trying to reach out to the community. it's just a matter of making this even bigger. we meet with brittany oh, the park in san gabriel valley or s t v. as it's residents call it. the valley has one of the largest asian populations in america. britney just co founded compassion, s g d initiatives that of a chaperone services to vulnerable and elderly community members. i was honestly so devastated by all of the talk. so hearing about even a neighboring attacks. man was waiting at a bus stop and was attacked and lost part of his finger like it was just getting way too close to home. that was just 3 months ago. and now she's making an impact,
2:24 am
running an organization with $200.00 volunteers. impressive. yes, but i really hope that these attack stops, so we don't have to keep offering these free chaperone services, which we're happy to offer during these times right now, like it's crucial. but i hope that we don't have to keep doing this because that would mean that the attacks would stop for the time being though with me in the same gabriel valley and police officers, every night alex in los angeles are all trying their best standing against anti asian hate crimes and graces sports news now for you and germany is wonderfully good. soccer season wraps up on saturday after a strange campaign with no fans. kona virus quarantines and coaches announcing job changes, left right and center. one thing has remained constant though by munich are still champions. while their world a player of the year rob 11th,
