getting since $21810.00 on the law, i see nichol for us citizens in the city. the system had to providing a secure, orderly, and clean environment that the government doesn't mean to govern the city more efficiently. due until financial mclaughlin, other quality hot down, they go to the city brains, employees have access to more than 290000 cameras. and this is just one hop of what the government envisions. as a nationwide network. the goal is 100 percent camera coverage at all important places, like train stations, crossroads parks, in berlin scholar, my call back has studied these efforts for many years. she says she has downloaded millions of 10 this the surveillance systems from government websites that often spell out the goal of the surveillance explicitly. the word comes from the

machine, doesn't mention a mentalist intact. they are describing how human interaction is the source of any social conflict. conflict is what could cause trouble for the government who is concerned the social stability. so as long as you can cover every aspect of human life cameras in surveillance, one can react to fuse and calm down the situation. come and listen. conflict. 5, index and shaft and on how to a colleague who will put on shanghai central business district is. but one of many places that have such extensive data and surveillance infrastructure. there is little opposition from the public to the or seeing system put on city brain, not only collect surveillance footage, but also detailed data about each household in the city. since the covert outbreak, its employees were given an additional task. the data is used to ensure citizens

are observing their quarantine. so i'm a push to go didn't actually, we install interconnect sensors at the apartment door. if somebody leaves the flat and breach of the anti epidemic rules, we will get an alarm signal, mental health authority and compound workers would be informed by us and can react swiftly on us. you can go to the project like to don't city brain show, china's government sees data as a means of control. the pandemic has only advanced these ambitions for more, i'm joined now by one of the authors of that report, a w mathias building a. it is welcome. how has the corona virus pandemic impacted the taught and the amount of surveillance carried out in china? well, we've seen some exam one example in this report. magnetic or camera,

magnetic sensors, or cameras and stored in front of doors of people who have to core and teen to have been, especially in the beginning, quite some successes in that regard. i remember one friend telling me that property management insisted not only on installing a camera in front of the apartment, but in the apartment. another thing that has changed on how, where surveillance and data has advanced in everyday life apps, where you need to scan when you enter a building. when you enter a taxi, these apps, they register where you have been so the authorities theoretically would be able to identify anybody who has been close to anybody who has, has been diagnosed with over $900.00 or tested positive. so a lot of data on the movements of the citizen is collected that was not collected

before. mathias, according to one study by the comparative china has 18 out of the 20 most of all cities in the world. it's a sensitive topic in most places. but how the residents are they okay with this level on this type of surveillance? there's very little discussion in china about this, the valence. and the reason is, of course, that a discussion about this is not really allowed here, except from maybe some singular voice is. my impression is nevertheless, that many people are okay with it. as long as it delivers a safe environment. i've heard people saying spontaneously not being asked, not being in some context, government context that they feel the cities have become safer, the negative sides, the invasiveness of valence is of course, something that people might not notice as easily if

a discussion about is suppressed. we don't know really how big the percentage of people who might not be okay with this is precisely for these reasons. but what we know is, of course, that they're not heard in public without hearing many of those voices. we ask, i guess there are many big cities around the world like berlin, washington, the london, they have video type abilities is what's happening in china. really that different well, the cameras might not be that different. and the recognition systems that operate in the background, technologically, are available in other countries as well. the question is, what is the government willing to do? how far is it willing to go and what it is, is it used for? and, and that's a question of who is controlling the authorities who have access to all this. and of course, there is a very big difference between china and other countries in the world. in that this

control on the authorities does not exist except by the superior level of these authorities. if the government wants to use this data for whatever purpose it is free to do so. the w mathias billing in beijing. thanks so much. ok, he now some of the other stories making headlines around the world. israel parliament as elected the veteran politician isaac head. so as the countries the new president will take up the largely ceremonial roll, next month comes with a position bull make a scramble to afford a coalition to one se. prime minister benjamin netanyahu happened to midnight local time, reaching an agreement with lincoln authorities say a cargo ship carrying tons of chemicals, thinking the ship was damaged by a fire in light. my plastic weiss has swamped the coastline and chemical containers at for one overboard as well. it's been described as the country's worst marine disaster. the largest ship in the iranian navy has sunk in the gulf of

a man after catching fire the vessel b. either cogs was dispatched to international water several days ago. it's unclear what caused the blaze. the iranian navy says nobody was killed in the incident or rushes up a house. the parliament has backed legislation that could potentially by any one with ties to kremlin critical legs on the valley, from running in elections. the build would exclude anyone from what it terms as extremist organizations from contesting a russia court would decide next week if that turn applies to nevada and these organizations, this comes as russia further ramps up pressure on dissidence, a hit of september parliamentary po, permanent opposition, figure under it, until a people vote off is the latest of civil activists to be arrested in recent days. he was hold of a poland bound plan just before take off. now he has demanded is immediate release . secretly taken images of anti people are of being led away by police after being

hold off a plane about to take off moments before his arrest. the activists tweeted a picture of the officers boarding the air craft. i'm just let you and i had already turned to stone off as the plane began to take off a few minutes later, andre went back online and wrote me that the plane had been stopped and he saw the police driving to the gangways after us. and he was of course, it from the plain alone. vincent, who is somebody with them. people, vera was taken to his apartment, which was search before he was driven away. he has been brought to the southern city of crowds, nadar, his allies, say, to keep a man, i mean taken for questioning. now the remarkable thing is that there have been no information about this case earlier. if i have been asked to come for questioning, i would have come. that's why this is all

a very big surprise. social people are of the rest. st. petersburg airport comes days after his open russia foundation, felt that scientific ease to avoid persecution, under russia's repressive laws and opposition groups. but the police did not stop there. on tuesday, they rated the offices of opposition politician dmitri good cove, who was planning to run an upcoming parliamentary elections. go into the next department. i've never felt so important before. there are 60 people working on our case today. we're not alive, i'll speak to everyone. thank you. good call was then we'll so arrested on some of his associates taken in for questioning. the question is, seems as if this is a personal case against opposition, figures to pressure them, push the massive politics and prevent them from running in the elections. with such scenes, repeating themselves all over russia. the opposition is bracing for

a tough time before pose open in september. and for more on this, we are joined now by dw correspondent emily show when in moscow, emily, welcome. what's the latest you're hearing about? these are breast well, we know that need a good coffee and, and the people are of, are both quite high profile opposition. figures here in russia and their allies say that this is a political campaign against the whole opposition. officially good cause was arrested in connection with, apparently not having paid rent on a space that he rented here in moscow from the moscow mayor's office. apparently, a 140 police officers were involved in searching 10 premises and apartments that are connected with him and his family. and he could face up to 5 years in prison

when it comes to people vot of he has been arrested in connection with apparently working with an undesirable organization. even though the organization that he worked for open russia was actually dissolved before his arrest. exactly as the you know, up and she said to prevent the persecution of him and also other members of that movement. and he could face up to 6 years in prison. we might see the beginning of the trials of these 2 figures today, or in the coming days. apparently. i mean, can we just focus on the rest of andre people over from the open russia foundation to be more how unusual is the style of his arrest in that he was taken of a plane? i'd say it's very unusual. usually, russian authorities are absolutely fine with opposition figures going into exile,

leaving russia. in fact, in some cases, apparently, they've even encouraged some opposition figures to leave russia essentially to get out of the kremlin hair. in this case, we saw this rather theatrical arrest. you know, a lot of was taken out of the airplane, which was about to take off from st. petersburg airport. and i think it's, there are very clear parallels to be drawn here with neighboring bell roof, where a plane was actually landed in minsk only for an opposition and blogger to be arrested. and i think everyone here in russia is drawing those parallels in the past few days. after all people here have been watching very closely the events of the past months in bella roost. he knows a protest is after those elections, presidential elections, and the violent crackdown that came afterwards on protesters on opposition, politicians on journalists. and it almost seems as if the russian authorities, who so far have been a bit more liberal than their neighboring bella. ruth,

are showing that, you know, they can, they can do the same and that people shouldn't take to the streets and protests like they did in dollars. just quickly. russian senators just adopted a so called extreme, this bill that would bach critics from polls. is that the ultimate step in this campaign to silence the opposition? well, people say that this law that just been passed is actually aimed directly at nevada . these allies, 3 of his organizations, could in a trial on the 9th of june, be declared extremist. and this bar means that this law rather means that anyone connected with extremist organizations can run. it's part of a wider crackdowns that we've now seen with the examples of people a lot of and good cough. many thanks to emily. sure. when in moscow? well, the world's biggest meat processing company, j. b. s, is slowly getting back online after a cyber attack disrupted production in north america and australia. ransomware

attack on the brazilian make packet came just weeks after a similar incident shut down the colonial oil pipeline in the us. j b. a said it was resuming operations at the vast majority of its plants. earlier at the white house, the j. b. s. had received a ransom demand from a criminal organization based in russia state and basically from day dudley business joins me for more. stephen, how serious is this particular attack? we'll anthony j. b, a says that it's systems are coming back online today, and we've already seen that happening in australia, so that's a good sign. it believes the vast majority of them will be ready again. at any rate, it still is a big deal and it will be a big deal if for some reason they're wrong, or if the remains a major disruption. it's the world's largest me processing company by sales. i'd accounts for a quarter of be production in the u. s. 20 percent of port production. and a great amount of it's beef also ends up in china through export sales. so it is

a big deal if there's any disruption at all. what we're seeing right now is that meet buyers are really scrambling, and so that means the prices are going to go up. as everyone tries to get a hold of what they can. this is in an industry and in a sector that's already seen, price rises due to the chrome bars. had many shutdowns at plans that processing facilities. and now as the recovery is beginning, we're seeing rising prices again as demand picks up. but the labor supplies still tight, that means already high prices, they're going to get higher. so you mentioned last month we think colonial pipeline now the world's biggest mate, producer. why are we seeing a string of these more high profile attacks yet? remember, this is still a pretty young field of crime if you think about it. i mean, the internet is still pretty young, idea of network systems is still pretty young. and so you might want to see it as sort of boundary pushing. how far can you go? i remember there are different actors too. right? there's the state level actors that includes the u. s. russia, china, they're all testing each other out. they, they're testing their probing critical infrastructure like electricity grids, even water supplies, that some of the scarier stuff. and then there's these ransomware guys who seem to

be targeting gps as well. it's unclear how much affiliation they have with states. there does seem to be some but you know, these guys were pretty small ball for a long time. in the county, i come from in georgia in the u. s. it got attacked by ransomware. i think last year, the year before paid $400000.00 for these were the typical targets because they were, they were small, they were unprotected. they were below the radar. now they're getting bigger and it's going to be interesting to see what happens because, you know, modern commerce has allowed for certain vulnerability. there's more automation, for example, j b us, there's multiple scanning and data input along every bit of the process and higher networking, but they're also highly centralized the pipeline for example. so that once you bring down one corporation, you could bring down a major major supplier. and that's a lot of disruption. it seems like the pathways there for, for us to see more of this. so have, can businesses protect themselves? and it's a big question, right? i mean, they're going to have to pay for it. the best way is probably redundancies. you're

going to have to either pay for backup servers. you're going to have to build out your it department so they can quickly engineer and re engineer systems. once they're down, you can look at cyber insurance, but that's still a very young field. it's trying to understand risk management, so there's not a whole lot of options there. right now, at some point the government is really going to have to get involved, more governments are going to have to, there's more talk of this in the u. s. for example. so you're going to see, for example, maybe they'll go out there crypto currency because that's the chosen currency for a lot of these ransom attacks. they could try and target that try and regulate more, or they could perhaps forbid ransom payments from companies, and that would be a pretty big deal as well. so there's some options. we'll see basically from de w business. thanks a lot. you're watching t doubly news still to come to sell these 300 black americans died during the tulsa massacre in 1921. the winds have taken a century for a sitting president to publicly addressed this don chapter of us history. in germany downgraded corona virus risk assessment. but health officials born people

shouldn't relax their attitude toward the pandemic. that in just a mind that the 1st and other world news molly has been suspended from the african union after the 2nd 2 in less than a year in the west african country colonel. assuming has led the uprising last week . and since they named transitional presidents african union, the threatened sanction if a civilian government is not restored. in nigeria, relatives of thousands of school children kidnapped by gun over the weekend have appealed to the government to help freedom of a 150 pupils were abducted from me. islamic school in north central nigeria state already saved on negotiating to bring the children back safely. in the us, the by the ministration has suspended oil and gas exploration in the and then last in wildlife reserve that is permits to drill in the 19000000 i can preserve were

given in the last weeks of the trumpet, ministration to spot the objections of environmentalists and indigenous groups, the suspension is pending and environmental review. well, joe biden has become the 1st sitting us president to visit the site of the tulsa massacre in oklahoma. he marked 100 years since a white mob killed as many as 300 african americans in the middle class district known at the time. as the black bull street bible says, writes, the black americans are still under assault to this day. are now the survivors of the tulsa massacre over 100 years old, but never in their long life. have they seen a president commemorate the event. president biden held a minute of silence in tulsa to remember a black community that was subjected to one of the worst rachel attacks in us history for much too long. the history of what took place here was told in

silence, cloaked in darkness. but just because history is silent, it doesn't mean that it did not take place. in 1921, a mob of white people looted and burned tulsa's, thriving greenwood district. a proper count of the dead was never completed. but some estimates say hundreds of black americans were killed. those now living in the city said the president's visit was a vital for racial justice. and it's important because there's a beginning of admittance. there's a beginning of, let's speak on these things and let's try to deal with this or that we can grow and move forward. we need his presence. we need for people to continue to learn about the race massacre and to continue to invest to really help us move forward. we're looking back is one thing, but thinking about what's next is sort of the big part of it. like, what are we going to do to make things right? what are we going to do to improve our community?

lied and has stayed clear of a commitment for reparations to survivors and their descendants. that says his administration is aware that more needs to be done to address racial in qualities or trying to catch up with the latest in the run of ours, pandemic down the world. health organization has approve decoded, 900 back thing made by china's sin event for emergency use in adulthood. i think it's the 2nd such authorization is granted to a chinese company. a grunt of ours lockdown in australia, 2nd biggest city, melbourne, has been extended by another week following a small cluster of cases there. and a report says, africa faces procession, growing violence and higher unemployment because of the pandemic. that's from the abraham foundation, which promotes good governance. well, germany's national disease control agency has lowered the current of risk status. as the 3rd wave of infections subsides, the risk level falls from very high to just high. but despite this,

officials have emphasized that germany is still in the middle of a pandemic, regardless of declining case numbers and progress with vaccinations. the spring sunshine and outdoor dining life just got a little better in germany. case number's a thinking and just for districts or cities have an incidence right higher than 100 . even the german health minister is showing signs of relief. we can't get too confident. i know it's hard to hear sometimes, but nevertheless it's the right approach. we've just seen so many examples around the world with things have gone wrong. authorities are relaxing restrictions further, but doing so cautiously and they're vaccinating as many people as possible. currently, 80 to 90 percent of those willing are expected to receive at least one dose by mid july. but that's provided orders. the vaccines actually arrive. the head of

germany's infectious disease center is appealing to citizens to get immunized. he says the virus is not likely to disappear anytime soon. we stick it doesn't mean what's important is that as much of society as possible is immune to the virus. we will reach this immunity much more comfortably and much more safely through vaccinations rather than through sickness. does it or is that is that common responsibility that most people can safely achieve immunity without infecting other paid off on. couldn't many german states have already relaxed rules or have indicated they will do so very soon with even large events permit that again in some regions. and finally, now if you're afraid of heights this london pull is probably not for you spend at some 35 meters in the year between 2 apartment buildings. this transparent sky pool of a swim is the kind of city views you to get on a postcard. as long as you can hold your breath, and if you're, of course,

lucky enough to live at the right address and the residence of this luxury high rise development are allowed to use it. you're watching the w needs up next made in germany and a look at the changing world of work. don't forget our website as they are. if you need more news at any time, the database kind of d w dot com, i'm asking out, i'll see you at the top of the next down. the news. the news. news. the news
