the rubble brings up today about the situation on the sides of the rescue. operations have been paused because there have been apparently the danger of a secondary collapse of parts of the still standing structure, all the champlin tower. so for that reason, no, a rescue operation is carried out at this point. generally speaking until a couple of hours ago, the rescue operation was still ongoing and it was not a recovery operation that because as long as there's the possibility that there might be someone still alive there, coming through these piles of rubble extremely carefully. as you saw in the pictures with buckets and with their sheer hands, with the ultimate goal, of course, to be as careful as possible. and that is also one of the reasons why this operation takes so long. right. and all source is any clear as to why the building collapsed. well,

the initial impression was after the building came down that this happened really with no warning just in the middle of denied while it's inhabitants were ab sleep essentially. but that picture has changed phil over the last years. we now know of this 2018 inspection that found some structural damages to the building. we also know that the president of the condominium association wrote to the owners that the situation got significantly worse, and that was just a few months ago. and he also said that repairs would cost up to $50000000.00 us dollars. there were many senior citizens living in the building, perhaps not able to afford that. also, there was a different and contracting account by the city inspector who said that he believes it's less urgent to carry out those words. and that's apparently what the owners went with. of course, a fatal mistake, as it seems. it's important to point out that as plausible as all of the seals, there are several investigations on a way, so we don't know exactly what happens. we will know, however, within

a couple of months, right? so in the meantime, there must be concerns that could happen elsewhere. i sure there is some concern. there are, this is not the only building that is old and that is built in that side. so several of those buildings are spread out over the years of the united states, many are being checked and inspected right now. the problem feel really is that we have learned painfully through this collab. knowing the damages of a building doesn't necessarily mean and force the owners to fix. so the whole saw that some legal actions would follow in one member of another condominium of another condominium board told me that you would find that really reasonable to force owners to sally they can before their repairs. certainly a tough measure, but perhaps one way to avoid such a situation from happening again. ok, thank you for that. all of us thomas in florida, me

a chinese presentation ping has struck, defined, noted celebrations, back in the 100 santa verse 3 of the countries communist party speaking as a major event in chatham and square. he call for taiwan to be brought back on the chinese control and said china would not be intimidated by threats from abroad. observer. see his comments as a warning to western countries who have criticized beijing for its human rights abuses and crackdowns in hong kong. the. it was a spectacle designed to impress, showing off the parties dominance. gentlemen square was packed with $70000.00 handpick spectators. putting on a show of patry arctic fervor, the cannons roared a 100 times. once each year the chinese communist parties, existence. you see on the streets of beijing lawyer this gathered to enjoy what

they could see of the celebrations. it has been a 100 years since the party was founded. under 30 china has developed and people's lives got better. of course i'm happy with this kind of garcia was echoing the message of president. she jin ping, perhaps the party's most powerful leader. since it's time to mouse, i don't standing above my portrait and dressed in a suit to him and listened to the chairman. she praised the ccp for lifting the chinese people out of poverty. he hailed what he called the countries irreversible right from humiliation to global dominance. and he delivered a message of defiance to foreign powers. why me? yeah. we will never allow any foreign force to bully, oppress, or subjugate us. say,

anyone who dares to try that will find the head mashed against a great wall of steel. forged by over 1400000000 chinese people. hung up, poll portion of the language was perhaps chosen with a domestic audience in mind. but she backed up his warning with a pledge to boost china's military might. and the promise to bring south governing, tie one under china's control, a vision of an assertive china impervious to western criticism, and uncompromising on strategic goals. richard mcgregor is a china analyst and australia snowy institute. we asked him, how is easing pain compared to communist leaders of the past? well, they certainly a much more assertive than risk taking leader in many respects. i mean, there's lots of debates about whether it's the most powerful, the, the since now or dongle and so forth. but i think the really most important thing

about teaching ping is not just the reason assertive leader, but he's leading a much more powerful country. so all sorts of things that old chinese leaders would like to have done, you know, dominate the south china sea, put greater pressure on taiwan. great pressure on japan, the east china sea stand up and goes sort of toe to toe with the united states. many chinese leaders didn't do that because china wasn't powerful enough. well now by all. now that had the military capability now. now that had the economic clout. so she is really in the chinese mold in that respect piece, different because china is different. now the europe in unions, digital cove, at 19 the certificate system was launched today. it's supposed to make traveling across a you asia, but airlines are wanting if it's ready and could cause long delays. the system links up the various cove in 1900 apps authorized by individual

a you countries. yes, display a q r code which can be scan to confirm a person status. as well as fascination details they can store test results and evidence of recovery. have a base to q r codes should also be available. when we asked that dw correspondent, bad me, good in brussels, what changes travelers in europe can expect for the 30 percent off of already fully vaccinated in europe? that means there's less hassle when they travel by plane. they don't have to come up with a p c r test before they enter the plane. and that's also true for people that recover some cove. it and that the other 60 percent still have to provide in most cases a p c r test. but the truth is also that there is no common rule. every member state does it differently. so you have to check where you go and which was actually apply . and for this is for intra, you travel only. and if you coming from

a 3rd country to the you, this coverage vaccination certificate doesn't mean anything because you don't need it actually to enter the you. you can also have your proof of explanation from your home country or a p c r test show that you have recovered from covered so and also here the member states in the driver's seat, they also can apply different tools. so if you come do, you have to check anytime which country are entering in, which was there so the system is still very shattered. bad, rigorous. now here's a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. the head of the world health organization in europe is, was a new life of corona, virus infections and less fascinations increased and people remain disciplined. hands clued and said that after 10 weeks of falling cajuns numbers and are rising to an end, which is princess william and harry have unveiled a statue to their late mother on what would have been her 60th birthday princess

diana was killed in 1997 in a car crash in paris. the ceremony briefly re united brothers who, being at odds of allegations of racism within the royal family. that's the united states when bill cosby has been freed from prison after only 2 years, pennsylvania's highest court overturned the form comedians convictions for sexual assault, judge israel that he should never have faced charges after striking a non prosecution deal with a previous district attorney. more than 15 years ago is really says prompted outrage among sexual assault victims and the advocates just like that. bill cosby was free. his car sped by the walls of the pennsylvania prison, in which had served 2 years of a 3 to 10 year sentence before arriving at his home in nearby norristown. after being helped from the car, cosby gave the camera signal v for victory attorney. with similarly

triumphant thrills and i am pleased that the pennsylvania supreme court what we knew all along which was that mister cosby never should have been prosecuted. part was driven by politics, were quite pleased that the pennsylvania supreme court seems impervious to what is going on on the outside world. and all of that pressure that was placed on the criminal justice system from hash tag move and the, the me to movement helped bring cars be under scrutiny. he was one of a number of high profile men in show business accused of using that power to exploit and sexually assault women. but only one case against cosby went to court village and trucking and molestation of andre a constant observance, say the outcome of the case needs context basically

a couple of years ago before he was actually charge the older prosecutor, the previous prosecutor that is in the state of pennsylvania, i asked him to come forward to give a deposition in exchange for that he would not be prosecuted as long as he told the truth. well, bill cosby came in, he spoke our contemporary is really very, very long, gave extreme graphic details about the fact that he drug certain women that he had . according to him affairs, with certain women, they say the public should not view the rolling of cars being pronounced innocent. what people have to understand is that this decision that came out on wednesday does not say that bill cosby is innocent. it is not say that there wasn't enough evidence by these dozens and dozens of women that came forward to the crushing it. this conviction has re ignited debate over the ability to hold

a fair trial amid intense public pressure. and the efficacy of the me to movement and holding powerful men to account. right. that's if you're up tonight is a lot more world news at the top of the our d. w kind of in 1900 special is next. and of course, there's always that news around the clock on the web site, d, w dot com on the good news, the news the fight against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research information and contact the corona virus? 19 special next on dw,

rattling the express feelings. i am not very creative yet, but i would love to be considered an artist one day looking for new perspective. real long story now to reason replace. with the cabinet, doing things differently. come to the place where we reflect on society are dealt with the me. the nurses have been on the front lines of the pandemic since the very beginning. every 2 d were working in a state of very high stress and shown in the psychological tension has gone through the roof of secret. ology stay late, many paid for their service with their lives. the world health organization

estimates that 115000 nurses worldwide have died in connection with a corona virus infected is the nurses hard work being given. the appreciation of deserves. many are still waiting for the financial applause and they are demanding better working conditions. how can it be that the heroes of the pandemic are still struggling for recognition? welcome to your proven $900.00 special. i'm chris kolber, and berlin. despite their heroic efforts, health care workers around the world are now learning that they are subject to a rather unforgiving system to explain where more than 80 doctors and nurses themselves fell victim to the corona virus. the government promised to improve working conditions, but instead with infection rates, declining thousands of health co workers have already been laid off,

or soon will be w. young. philip shots reports from valencia in eastern speak louder almo deborah has been told her services are no longer required here on the coven, 1900 ward, but she still has her hands full. many of her colleagues at the valencia clinic argon in the surrounding region alone, hundreds of nurses were let go over night. many of her co workers were informed that they've been laid off in a text message. and so that's a, it's the boy. i think it's shocking to find out your employment has been terminated like this off the, somebody they get. it shows 0 respect for the people who gave everything during the pandemic. they could call up here at the time they were urgently needed for the system to keep running. let me go out. i can think of now it seems as if they are just disposable from all, but there will be a standing ovation for health workers. the heroes of the pandemic when spain was

particularly hard hit by corona virus, in march 2020 thousands of nurses were hired at short notice. many fell ill. some even died of the virus. but now the cove at 900 numbers are falling across the country. these nurses are no longer needed, more than 1000 nurses have been laid off here and the balance, the reason in the past few weeks alone for thousands more professional future uncertain. within a few months. they seem to have gone from heroes up the panoramic to redundancy personnel. the layoffs have led to furious protests here. most of those who have been sacked are afraid to speak to us on camera. only one person is willing to speak anonymously by telephone. he tells us that he and his colleagues feel abandoned when the virus happened, we were short of everything we needed to fight it. we were brutally overloaded with work. we couldn't even take care of our own health and that had extreme effects in

our private and family life. now it all seems like exploitation to me. the soda. in recent years, spain has made massive cuts to its public health system. more than a 3rd of medical stuff only have short term contracts, and many clinics have been privatized. during the pandemic, the government promised improvements, but instead, the situation has worse and, and get those in charge, haven't changed their tune. and most had to we are currently making great efforts to create more permanent positions and to ensure that fewer people have to work in unsafe conditions. we hope that the situation will improve and 2022. i mean, i know that got, i mean those for nurse laura, almo dever and her fired colleagues, there could be some good news, at least for now, many of them will be reinstated over the summer to fill in for others who have gone on vacation. a good morning this with howard captain. he is the ceo of the

international council of nurses. i c n. and he joins me from geneva and switzerland . welcome back to our show, howard 0, respectful, the people who gave everything during the pandemic as one nurse called the sacking of health care workers in the report. justine, do you agree? i think this is a shameful way to treat nurses and health care work is these are the people who have put themselves ahead of everybody else who go to work. knowing that there's a greater risk that they might become infected, haven't had the personal protective equipment that they need have often separated themselves from their family. so it's not present a risk to them who have stepped into the shoes of relatives. they are not disposable. they are indispensable. they are the heart of all health care systems. we're seeing around the world. nurses who are angry at this lack of recognition and

respect of increasing strikes in european africa and pacific region as well on that note. half coworkers do have a huge leverage particularly now in the panoramic. if protests grew, if more nurses went on strike, that would create enormous pressure for their cause. wouldn't we went into this pandemic, 6000000 nurses, short a globally. we got aging nursing workforce in many countries. we've got nurses who have left because to burn out because of anxiety. we don't know the impacts of long copays. the last thing we can afford to do is to lose our nurses, our hospitals, all clinics, without stuff, without nurses, that just empty buildings. it's the people that matter and we should be investing in them and protecting them. now the condemning is that a different stage in different parts of the world? do you see situations improving for us co workers in areas with high infection

rates because of the lessons learned earlier elsewhere. we are seeing many places where nurses are taking on increasing leadership positions there at the forefront of public health messages, organizing systems of care as, as well. and the situation is improving. but we are also seeing areas where the doris is resurgent and there is a huge issue at the moment with the in equity of access to vaccines for nurses and health care workers. there are nurses and health workers in some parts of the world still waiting to be vaccinated, whilst younger people are being jobs in other countries. we all know we're not going to win this race against the virus on our own. as nations, it is a global race and we need to see much more sharing and solidarity and cooperation around the world. and then i see in the report published earlier this year and says,

studies across regions suggest that deep and demick has exaggerated the stress and anxiety of felt by nurses and other health. co workers. what do these people suffer from a particular we have seen huge physical and psychological impacts on nursing and health care stuff. physical exhaustion, insomnia, burn out and stress, but also the emotional burden of being away from your family looking after people, more people who are seriously ill, who are fearful, more people who are dying. on top of that, we have also seen examples of discrimination and violence against nurses. people who may be ignorant or fearful, but you know, negative not been able to renew that tendency because the landlord is worried that the spreading the far as nurses having difficulty accessing child care. so the children as well and nurses being subject to the covey denies who was saying this

whole thing is a host we, we've corpus a mass traumatized ation of the nursing workforce. and that's why we need to be focusing on the recovery of nursing and health care workforce right now. howard catherine, of the international council of nurses. thank you for your thoughts and keep getting the right jab has for many people been the most promising way to protect themselves against a severe corona virus infection. vaccines have been subject of many of your questions. here's one and our science correspondent, they're going paul, every country has a different strategy to prioritize vaccines. what does the science say about how to best allocate them? oh, we're still in the middle of the biggest vaccine drive in history. so evaluating

the moving data on this topic is really a pretty tall order. to be honest, i don't even know if looking back in the years to come. if will be able to say anything with certainty about whether a countries might have prioritized the right groups for vaccine allocation in the right order. that's because demographics are so different in different countries that, that making blanket statements about what works best can, i think, provides at best just rough guidelines. there are just too many variables. the big problem is that allocating back seems means making choices that are at odds with each other. the most obvious that those choices is whether to cut down on the death and suffering caused by the disease as quickly as possible by vaccinating

the most vulnerable 1st or to instead try to vaccinate those who are most exposed so. so those who will catch the disease most often, and hence, really dr. further transmission countries with aging populations, like many here in europe, went for the 1st option. they decided to prioritize the elderly group that's most at risk if they contract covered 19. and that choice seems to be working at preventing death and suffering. a british health care authority, for instance, has estimated that the campaign there, which focused on getting elderly the shots 1st, that is have over 30000 hospitalizations and, and 10000 lives so far. but that's also left a large segment of the population, younger people, unvaccinated for many months. and of course,

as the group that's most regularly exposed, they're now fueling a new outbreak there. so what's the best prioritization strategy? i don't really know if you can put it that way. i'd say that there are just strategies with different outcomes. me and that's i shall fall. more checkout are covered 1900 section on the w dot com for now. thanks for watching you next time, stacy. ah. the news news . news

. the all. ah. can you hear me now? yes, we can hear you and hello. germans will bring you uncle michel and you've never had before the friday just so. what it was to is medical really want me to talk to people who's polluted along the way. myers and critic join us from
