tells you who globally your journalistic work, lawfully and properly. apple daily belongs to the media conglomerate of jimmy ly, who was the 1st high profile hong kong are to be arrested under the new security law imposed by beijing. apple daily has provided extensive coverage of the crackdown on the pro democracy movement as of thursday evening. it's website was up and running. the papers staff published and editorial there, reassuring their reader is that though we are facing a sweeping clamp down on our publication, the staff of apple daily will hold fast to our duties faithfully and press on till the end to see the arrival of dawn. well they w correspond to phoebe kong in hong kong says the warrant authorizing the right authorized police to remove journalistic materials. the unprecedented arrest and right inside apple daily newspaper headquarters for the 1st targeting media

coverage under the national security law. what makes it even more exceptionally stop police were given, called florence for the 3rd time to seize general is take materials for investigation, raising further concerns of erosion of press, freedom in home comb. although the authority is tried to reassure the public that has nothing to do with press freedom and actually accused, i put a newspaper as a hold of publishing sole source of online and printed articles, calling for international sanctions against china and hong kong. they've been back to 2019 and 2 recent period of time. i'm met, people are getting more fearful that the red line is going to impact all walks of life in home comb after a year of implementation of the sweeping legislation will come. grundy is the editor in chief of the hong kong, free press. he joins us for more on this story. welcome today w. what have you heard about what happened at apple daily's offices of

500 police deployed this morning in the early hours. they went through report, says computers, a lot of this was the live stream by stuff they seized of a 40 p c. in the 5 hour raid, i miss came after the police broke into the flats and rated and a warning rate arresting 5 executives, some of them were handcuffs and paraded around the newsroom. national security chief. the only thing that this relate to 30 articles and all, some of them dating back to before the national security with an active. and he said that they related to calling for the country to impose sanctions on hong kong . so although apple daily were rated last olga and connection to jimmy ly that hike yona or found a rather, this is the 1st time we've, we've seen a newsroom rate over a media organizations output it content. yeah. and so that is just like the charge is that those articles in danger, national security,

i went that does it make people like yourself as, as a pro democracy outlet? does that make you wonder about your own future? they're in the territory? well, let me add, we're not a pro democracy outlet, we're an impartial, non profit news organization. and for that reason, i am sure you know we're going to be okay. but what i think all of us would like to see, clarified, is what exactly the 30 articles were with a hard news pieces with a opinion pieces. or were they edited the voice of the newspaper? unless that clarified, i can see this having a chilling effect. you know, across the industry, but when we put this question, when other, the us into the security chief to the national security chief, you know, the media and public just told to obey the law and we're not getting any clarity on that. like a lot of the media here, fine at the moment is to simply keep calm and carry on. prepare for the worth. hope

for the best, and get the news out. i suppose. can i for daily keep going with its assets, frozen, and equipment seized? that's a good question for them. they, they want to say, you know, the show goes on for them to put out a prince edition, particularly tonight is quite symbolic and important because they don't particularly make money. they shut down the taiwanese print edition just weeks ago . but with it being the last pro democracy daily in hong kong, they're going to be putting out hall for me and copied overnight. we've got a staff member there this evening to witness this because the way hong kong is tend to respond as they did last august. is to basically wipe the shelves of the apple daily in the morning in lieu of their being any protest at the moment, particularly during covert. this is one way on congress as of have found to express their support and their discontent. i imagine. so for them, the show goes on in

a read of they have said that they will buy apple daily even if it blank. good, talking to fact so much for joining us. tom grunted from hong kong, free press. let's take a look at some of the stories making news around the world starting in zambia, where the country's founding husband can cow and die. those $0.97 have confirmed his death from pneumonia after he was admitted to hospital 3 days ago. officials didn't specify his ill this time, but he did coincide with a climate code 19 cases and a southern african nation was the calendar room sunday and 964 to 1991 supporters of 4 ivory coast present learning bag bo are prepared to welcome him home 10 years after he was sent to the international court judge with war crimes of which he was later acquitted his former rival president, the allison watch. what tara invited him back in the name of the reconciliation.

lisa, a man and a woman had been killed in a shooting in western germany. it happened in the time of ashbrand. can you say the circumstances are unclear and numerous agencies working together to find the local man believe to be the shooter german biomedical company? could evac has suffered a setback in its attempts to develop a code of $900.00 vaccine in term data suggest the company's drug maybe in the 47 percent effective. evac said it's studied, been hampered by the range of corona virus variance. while japanese germany covert contact chasing is a year old. happy birthday it when it was released last year, it was greeted with skepticism and excitement is designed toward use if they've been in contact with someone who's tested positive for covet critic say it was a waste of money and the threat, the privacy bands hoped it would end the pandemic long before vaccines became widely available in germany wasn't the only country during this. india, australia,

and then 90 states were just a few of the countries roll that content tracing apps with a very results. well d w reporter, i mean a, c, f has been digging through the data. welcome. i mean, as i said, lots of skeptics and optimists. when that jeremy's corona corona worn at was released last summer. you've seen the numbers who was right. well, let's take a look at the numbers and maybe you can decide though, you know how this app works, right? so you have it on your phone and if you test positive for corona virus, you can tell the app and it will warn all the people that you are in close proximity with over the last few days, theoretically, then they would go get a test, see if they're positive for corona virus as well in isolate themselves until recently, this is all very theoretical. if this worked at all. but the government has released some estimates based on some data that they have donated data because ap doesn't actually collect personal data. and so we can kind of get a,

a glance into how this works. we can be estimated that 470000 people said that they had tested positive, they told the ab. and among those people who got notifications from these, their contacts, these 470000 people, 850000 estimate of people tested positive. so that means that the app kind of discovered these 150000 positive cases that wouldn't have been discovered otherwise . no, this is pretty small. in comparison to the 3700000 cases, the germany has registered since the beginning of the pandemic. and it's also quite small considering the budget of this app. i asked the german health ministry, how much it costs. and in the 2 years of this pandemic, the total budget is around $75000000.00. they still stand by, they say that this data shows that actually worked, that had helped out and that had been played a critical role in fighting corona virus in germany. ok. and so how did those results compare to some of the other apps that were developed around the world? well, but my count is about 45 countries that have rolled out corona virus,

ab since the beginning, the pandemic. and it's hard to compare them because they all function a little bit differently. but i want to take a look at a couple of cases which kind of kind of shed light how this app can kind of go wrong. so india is an example of a country that rolled about even before germany. it was mandatory to download for anybody entering the country and our deli team from d. w actually, so that they had to download the app to check into a hotel there. so it was very prevail, pervasive. but it was also necessary to go to the camilla celebrations, new inter, a cons. and you can see here that the people who are bathing and the ganges are probably not wearing their phone. they're not wearing much at all, which renders the app a 100 percent ineffective. seeing a lot of social distance in the right. and that's exactly what happened. a lot of epidemiologist said that this festival was responsible for making the 2nd wave, the crisis that it was. so a lot of critics say that the app actually provided cover for the government and

provided a false sense of security for people attending that festival. now, australia, real quick, just another example of how it can go wrong. how did very different problem. they rolled out the ab, spend tens of millions of dollars on this, and then they didn't have a 2nd or 3rd wave. so there was never really a chance to use the app and that has gained a lot of criticism in the country. why do we spend all this money on something that we never even used? ok very briefly. was it worth the money? well, well, well, whenever, whenever a good, i'm always a tradeoff between money and efficacy. i think when we're dealing with people's lives, it's a hard question. to answer and in german you can see that it actually worked a little bit. it worked a little bit. ok. i mean see if thank you now. ok, chapter jabbers, recent history is coming to an end. the saudi files, the secret files of the stars. that's the intelligence service of the communist, a former east, germany of being transferred to the country's national archives. the agency that preserved them is now being dissolved. darcy was notorious for it. surveillance of

the east german population and communism collapsed in 1989 civil rights activists prevented the destruction of many of their file, giving victims and perpetrators a chance to confront you want to ring the bell. i didn't do much longer. i read the door of their old building any friend and they lived here when they were young and nice. that was anything but private window . then on the display stealthy and whom i spied on them from across the courtyard bank. when this tree was much smaller. how did you see stones, the people standing, magical, i don't know. i just found that when i read about it, we would never thought about it. the thought of them standing there. now that's

not in the restaurant. the files contained hundreds of pages intercepted letters and informers reports, including viva, and offers apartment layout and masturbation recorded april 30th 19 a. she at 7 o'clock in the night was in the kitchen and the window with humphrey took off. roughly 15 minutes later, the light went out and they left the apartment alone and she headed on foot in the direction of the street subway game. and had my, someone looked into my life and i had no idea what they described me as a person from that perspective. which wasn't a very friendly one line, at least the mission was on the last stop. it said that i live with one subsidy in my experience and you get through life just as well, or even better. and when you adjust to a situation with nike given it leads to

a culture. but why? with the 2 women spied on and they just became from the provinces to east berlin and tom, good jobs here working for the east german state newspaper, northeast georgia and new germany buck. they made a fate for move. they tried to leave the country from 976 onward circuit, awful and illness either applied again and again to leave. always giving the same reason is lifeline. dec. i do not believe trustworthiness of discovery. i have seen 1st hand how little human rights are respected in east germany, that in these days, they tell people born after the war came down, have a risk life and limb to leave east germany at all. i didn't want someone else to decide where i lived with me. i had a certain point i had enough and then i thought, well, no, i want out. i want to make sure that i was just going if i had

and to that desire, they almost ended up in prison. there was chinese space craft carrying a 3 person crew has done successfully with the countries. new space station 3 astronauts blasted off about 6 hours earlier to take part in a 3 month mission. now set up experiments and prepare for a series of space walks. this latest mission is considered a step forward and establishing beijing as a major player in orbital space. the another success for china space program, the shinji 012 rocket last off the dock with the country's new space. for the next 3 months to the crew of 3 will live in a module slightly larger than a city bus. carrying out experiments going on space walks and preparing the station for completion. next year, china space agency will be monitoring the astronauts to see how they handle the

time away from earth. separation often is the sunday of the fees and the time to 3 months commission is a long term human crude space flight plan, which requires astronauts to stay in a relatively narrow and confined environment that it takes time to adapt to the weightlessness. she will also have to cope with an environment filled with noise and vibration. i think it will be uncomfortable and these effects will have a cumulative impact over time. trying to space program is mostly homegrown. the united states congress forbade nasa from cooperating with china a 10 years ago. it cited concerns over the chinese space program secretive nature and its connections to the military. the international space station launched in 1998 has hosted astronauts from over a dozen different nations. but for china, it's all limits coming between regimes response company will build one ourselves.

while the i s s, reaches the end of its life, sam often trying to plan to complete its station by next year. and when it does, it will be in a position to decide who can come aboard. so you, that's a good on the mayo caught you at this stage and construction were not yet considering for an astronaut dissipation. and it was before an astronaut. they're certainly going to enter the chinese space station one day. you know, there are a number of countries that have expressed a desire to do that and we will be open to it in the future. they go teach it while they're still work to be done on the space station. china is already looking ahead to its next project. a proposed lunar base that it's planning together with russia. will tell us writer as a retired astronauts now overseas international corporation for the european space agency. welcome to b w. so we saw that china space program just seem to be soaring ahead while the

international space station is being discontinued. do you think that matters? well, i think the end of the international space station is still quite far ahead. so far we have done a lot of technical assessments of the various models and we convinced that the i s s can be operated until 2028 or even 2030. so it will be there for a while. but of course, it's quite a sign that no to space station and all, but it would have been suddenly an interesting and why step if corporation could have been on one single space station as time progresses in this area, you must watch what they're doing and think we should do that. what do you think the west can learn from the way china is operating in space? well, there is no doubt that china has mastered all the disciplines of space slide starting

from launch us. they have a wide spectrum of different launch on types to all the applications in low earth orbit up. so they should telecommunication, and satellite navigation fines, mission, robotic exploration and human space flight. so clearly the space power, what we can learn from them. i think it's quite interesting to look into the commercial applications, because here there is quite a competition on the worldwide market. but so far i don't see that they had in any of the technology. okay, so they're not had it in technology yet. but again, just in terms of the way they are operating, the sorts of things they're doing, it's only thing that you look at and think. yeah, it's time we did this. so we missed that. well, if i say we are from a european perspective in a, in

a pretty good state and all those various disciplines that i have just mentioned, i think we on a, on a similar level on 11. and i, i really don't see at the moment a technological development that china is doing that we are lagging behind. nevertheless, it's, it's quite an advance that it's going on in china and around the world. we see a lot of commercial activities emerging around the world. and i think for europe, it's very important to keep up with these developments. you spend time on the international space station, tell us what it's like, living in such close proximity with strangers that you can't get away from. well, i can tell you that this was a very positive experience with my colleagues that i've been working a long time ago and bought the russian space station mia. and then about 11 years

later on bought the i guess as it's almost like a little family. you know that you have to rely on each other, that you can only solve all the tasks that you have. if you're working closely together and i would have, have no problem in flying with my crewmates again. that would be still a lot of things to talk about and to enjoy this beautiful environment. are good to do. thanks for joining us beside the thomas writer from the european space agency. welcome. first of thursday, you are 2020 matches ukraine, get their hopes of qualifying from the group stages. a lot for the to one went over north macedonia. andrea ja malenko score the open for ukraine, who doubled their lead before half time north macedonia pool to go back after penalty. but ukraine held on to take 3 points. denmark's getting ready for his euro 20 to 20 match against belgium. the game will be paused in the 10th minute for fans

to applaud christian ethics. and the danish may feel that who suffered a cardiac arrest during a match against finland on saturday. he's now recovering in hospital where doctors have announced that he will receive a hot started device. the 29 year olds near death experience left teammates thought the shaken, stronger together. denmark squad are preparing to face their toughest group stage. opponents belgium while also dealing with what happened to christiane erickson. we have been talking about that it will be quite emotional to go back to parking and we know that we will have one believable support by our offense, by the whole country. and, and these emotions. we have to prepare that psychologists and crisis counselors have been helping players work through what they witnessed teams that the euros usually train at the match irina the day before

a game that the dames chose to stay at their training base instead. and how we are going to react about getting back. we don't know. we know as little as you do, how it's going to affect us emotionally, how it's gonna affect us being there. and it doesn't matter if it's today or tomorrow. coach hillman says, erickson's hospital is right next to the stadium and that he thinks is dar midfielder will hold on his shirt to watch the belgium game right from his room and stay with the euros in italy took a convincing widow, switzerland the 2nd victory, and the group stated, manuel luck, italy, a score twice in rome was showing the home team and advancing to the round of 16 final school 3. now the fans, when i was in force on the streets and pat says of rome to cheer actually on during the match against that sweet summer reactions to golder from not tell the whole story. it really didn't even qualify for the last world cup. so expectations. huge

for these euros, so far, so good. it's least looking like one of the best teams in the toner. i mean spanish football, imaginary captain sergio ramos has bid farewell to rail madrid after 16 years. an emotional ramos that the decision to leave is one of the most difficult of his life in re l. a. $122.00 titles together including 4 in the champions, the 35 year old sent about failed to agree. a new contract has been plagued by injuries and didn't make spans the euro. 2020 squad in tennis, rough and dow has pulled out of wimbledon and the tokyo and then picks in an effort he says, to prolong his career known as the king of clay. he lost in the semi finals of the french open last week with 20 grand slam victories in men's singles. he shares the old time record. the 35 year old said he needs more time to recuperate. between
