key called jill, that is you there, bob a. how on the syrian side, some $1000.00 trucks make the trip. once a month, some of the money comes from europe, the u. n. organizes the shipments. it's an ongoing war. it's an active front line. there's been shelling every single day in the last year . they've been multiple as strikes and other missile attacks. in these kind of conditions. it's very difficult to get agreement between the parties to the conflict, to safe route into evil. it is through turkey, but aside and his ally, russia want to block the entry point. you commissioner for crisis management, janish lunar church, visited the shipment center on the turkish side of the border. europeans and the you need to find a compromise with their ally, russia that you commission is angry, but it's putting a good face on the matter. as european union representative. i could only say that this issue should not be about politics. this should be about helping people who

needs help across the border and eat le province around one and a half 1000000. refugees have no permanent home. they live in camps. there are no jobs. they rely on help from outsides. they're concerned about the threat closure of the border crossing luggage, you know another red flower fuel medicine. everything comes to bob, how a crust. if they close the crossing, they might as well berry us alive because we will all starve. there will be nothing here. whenever border is closed or not, the syrian refugees will remain a bargaining chip in the struggles for power to afghanistan. now the last of the german armed forces have returned from that conflict, but many are still searching for resolution africa to help them to bear over the years fear for their lives. and they, germany has

a continued responsibility to protect them. here in germany, criticism is growing over the treatment of the return to soldiers, the w on your cost reports on the difficult end of a foreign mission. a memorial to the dead, the forest of remembrance, as a boon does their causes. it's dedicated to the men and women of the military who lost their lives in the course of duty. steph, i'm gone, is a guy that the memorial site, which was set up in 2014 many years up to the start of the mission. enough. got his then it's your and putting edition a culture of remembrance and the use of memorial. com to rise from one day to the next. the fun height of mall. and she and he misses. they have to grow the culture of remembrance within the growth of the mission progresses. and was the experiences of the soldiers on that mission. the 9 that the dolphins, and he's a culture of remembrance. it is growing, know that most people in germany have never even heard of the forest of remembrance,

which is far from the capital. germans don't feel particularly close to their country's military. the trib withdrawal from afghanistan is a point in case when the soldiers landed in germany, there was no petition to greet him. days later, the country is still discussing whether and if so, how to do it should be paid to the mission. another controversial point is the treatment of afghans who work for the german mission underground, translators, for instance, they want the boon does their to guarantee the safety. since the withdrawal, they fear retribution by the taliban. i'm told that the hand for allies of the west has already started in missouri. sorry. we hear people in the neighborhood are being taken away by taliban or local assistant, feel they have to go into hiding. i look at it tested for 2nd mark is gross himself. 3rd enough gunnison, now he lobbies for afghan,

twisted the mission to be brought to germany. but the federal government is demanding that they pay for their own flights. german officials say the country has issued 2400 v does happen in all aspects of our mission and we were assisted by dedicated incompetent afghans. both men and women for support desk says, i think it's done without them. we would not have been able to do the job by send them to do we understand the responsibility we have for these people in the, for a self remembrance that we soon be another memorial grove dedicated to the soldiers who fails in mazar e sharif. the city were many people who had to german mission a few waiting for help from germany. let's turn our attention, now's mother stories making headlines at this hour. frances, to begin with the growing troops of fighting islamist extremist in the hell region of africa. french president, manuel macross has been holding talks with the leaders of 5 african nations. the

french force has been battling rebels linked to al qaeda and the so called islamic state. lithuania military is building a 550 kilometer long, a razor wire barrier. on its order with banners, the waiting authorities accused their neighbor of allowing hundreds of migrants to enter the european union illegally. in may, bela bruce decided to allow crossings in retaliation for sanctions imposed on it by the african men's ground at a flight to arrest. a diffident water germany has declared all of spain, a corona virus, risk area travelers returning from spain will have to show a negative test to avoid quarantine. the change comes into effect on sunday, and other rise in the spanish infection rate. could me mandatory quarantine for unvaccinated travelers? a war games involving the u. s. ukraine and 30 other nations are wrapping up in the

black sea operation seabreeze has been held, despite strong objection from russia. the largest maneuvers in decades have been taking place around the waters of crimea, which russia m x from ukraine in 2014. he wants to join the nato alliance and will host more exercises with us, poland, and with the radio later this month. and for more i'm now joined by dw correspondent nick connelly. he's always out from odessa, a port city on the black sea in ukraine. nick a so good to you. you have just spent the last 3 days on the navy destroyer. the u . s. s. ross, tell us about your experiences there. wallclear, we shadowed the whole time by russian aircraft russian ships where within a few miles nautical miles of us destroy, i was on the bizarre thing was that the commanders and the officers on board that american destroy basically weren't allowed, was seemingly, were told not even mentioned russia by name,

so we had lots of talk about interoperability between the u. s. navy, with ukranian navies and other countries, but spacing in this exercise. but there was no talk about basically the elephant in the room. the ships within the plains that were buzzing the ship. i was on. that was pretty strange. given that we've come out of months of tension between the western russia over ukraine, we saw russia messing troops on ukraine borders. so a bit of a strange situation there. talk of being out who was never allowed to be there, but no real willingness to actually engage and talk about what was happening around us. how bizarre just to give us a sense of the geographical condition. how close did you come to crimea on that destroyer? so during the exercise, we weren't actually particularly close to crimea, we were, i'd say, probably no closer than 4050 miles from crimea. that's the big difference in recent weeks within a british destroyer. is there a british war ship the defend coming

a lot close to crimea that provoked big diplomatic spat between moscow and london. they didn't want to repeat that this time around, but that wasn't necessary to have all that russian activity around us in the international water, the black sea, there is a heavy russian presence. the russians brought back some of their biggest ships mediterranean. so really it was felt in some ways parallel west been rush next, size 2 groups of ships basically trailing each other around the black sea and looking at each other down, binoculars, sometimes pretty tensely, sometimes it's felt like it become a bit of routine that just help us understand, let's take a step back. can you tell us what the intention behind these drills is? so on paper, see these drills are about interoperability about learning to work with other navies. that's of the, the formal goal of this. but also the bigger picture is, of course, this is a show of support for ukraine. after those weeks a month, basically high tension here. and you can, off the russians, mobilize a huge part of the military and put it out on a long current borders. that was

a show of force these ex, happy health before but never as such a big scale. it has to be said though, this isn't really fear mongering on the part of the west because only $5000.00 people took part in these exercises that several times less than the russians bring out yearly. so it's still pretty small contingent, but it is attempts to support you and especially the time where the west is not offering the ukraine nature membership or any other kind of formal security guarantees. so lots of good reasons, the green to stay worried, but the westerly trying to show that you hadn't forgotten about this country 7 years after, for me, it was an act he w correspondent, nick connelly reporting for us from odessa. thank you so much. they that for haiti's president was assassinated in his home. police say they have captured 17 suspects and killed several others among those arrested r colombian, ex military and q dual us haitian citizens. their motive remains unclear, and authorities are still searching for more members of the alleged hit squad.

the, the pursuit for haiti's assassins is on the many shore and wonder how president juvenile, normally under tie, security could be killed in the middle of the night. the fact that he was no good for the haitian people, it's true that he never listened, but nobody is happy at the way he died. several of the suspects are now in police. custody and gun have been confiscated. the, at least 6 of them appear to be ex soldiers of the colombian army. according to columbia and officials, angry haitians are gathering outside the police station and mashing suspect cars.

police are now cautioning against visual and stuff, but the main really can do people that we have found. we have an obligation to protect them. we cannot take justice into our own hands and tell him prime minister cloud. joseph has declared a state of emergency and stepped up to leave the country until new elections can be held. but his legitimacy is being challenged by a rival candidate. adrienne already, just the day before, more you'd have killed already was named you prime minister. but he has not yet been sworn in the feel of a growing fight where the president feet may create a power vacuum unleashing for the instability to tennis now, and mateo better teeny has become the 1st italian man to make it through to a wimbledon. a final 7th defeated beat who bad hor,

catch of poland in 4 sets. corps catch up that roger federer in the last round but found himself outweighed by barrett. he needs powerful forehand. but if he will face the winner of the 2nd semi final between no joke of it. and then if chapel valez his 1st ever grand slam final update. thank you so much for joining us in the fight against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research say information and contact the corona virus, not because of 19 special next on dw, you ready to get on? the places in europe are smashing all the record to

venture. just don't lose your grip. the treasure map for modern gold crowder cover. some of the wicker breaking also in book form the what's the difference? it makes football enjoyed like this for like this it's clear. well, the organizers, if you are a 2020 preferred tens of thousands of families, will take the seats and sundays final in london. but in japan, there is a different view to the lympics to take place in empty venues. the crowds of

supporters seen as to risk in both regions. code 19 cases arising one of the europeans scoring and goals and robots in berlin. welcome to this covey 19 special. the panoramic ment, europe's football fans were made to wait an extra year for your a 2020 to kick off the confusing clash of name and date. but with the continent yet to rid itself of corona virus, the european championships still didn't come without risk. the joy of the euro 2020, summed up by scotland fans, they were euphoric when their team and a point against arch rivals england wimbly tournament came to an end soon after. and there was another sting in the tail, a covert outbreak on and off the pitch. midfielder billy gilmore

tested positive, forcing him into quarantine, a post game chatman, england's been chill. well and mason mound also had to isolate even more worryingly . it was later revealed almost 1300 scottish friends were infectious when they went to london. the world health organization says supporters traveling to games would be a recipe for disaster. how are people getting the other traveling and large crowded convoys of buses? are they taking individual measures when they're doing that? what's happening after the games, when people leave the stadiums, are they going into a crowded balls and puts to watch the matches if this mixing is happening among people who are not fully vaccinated? and there is the presence of the virus. there will be cases, the problem isn't restricted to the u. k. financial authorities say at least 300 fans were infected while following their national team. mostly at that 2 matches in st. petersburg that contributed to a sharp rise in cases at home. but despite these connections between euro 2020

uncovered outbreaks, you wafer is pressing ahead with hosting over 60000 spectators for the final at wembley. and politicians in several countries are furious at this. german interior minister horse, the hoover accusing the governing body of putting profits over public health. i think that you wafers position is utterly irresponsible. absolute for on for them to us into put more association should say clearly, we don't want it this way and we're reducing the numbers of spectators. either italy or england will be celebrating the country sporting victoria wimbley on sunday, but without further restrictions in london, fears of a covert hanover will only rise. well, let's speak to dr. hud. sure. he's a former president of the international society for aerosol, as in madison. thanks for joining us on the curve at 19 special. you is an advocate

of getting football back up and running again during the pandemic. but now we are seeing cases rising in part due to your 2020. does that mean that torment was a bad idea? i think the tournament was not a bad idea. i think it depends on the instrument and the in the different humphreys and we saw we still launch differences. you mentioned the english and scottish people that ranch to london got attractive. but then in england we haven't the incidence of 7 day incidence of about 300 right now . and other concrete that was much lower. so for example, in germany, we had mentioned as a 5, and we had no outbreaks when the saving unit and i'm very off,

the introduction went down and they had to pull a massive beginning from the beginning. so they started with an incident of $10.00 to $2.00 or something. so we can't say that football is the real big risk. it really depends on the competition in the, in the different countries. one match that remains now is the final which is going to be in the u. k, which as you say, has got one of the higher instance races rates in europe. so how risky of the stadium full of 60 plus 1000 people the stadium itself is not a problem. it's the, it's a travel to the stadium as you, as we saw and heard, and some other discussions is traveling to the stage on the celebration after and the bars. and it's

not in the non just in the, in the stay on the or the restroom. so we know that outside we have very little infection, so it's an aerosol infection and that happens most of the time in the rooms. and this can also be a bus or apple aim or any of the toilet. and i think this under the whisky places. so that sort of peripheral to the actual match itself. suppose you're 20 times an interesting case study because the master's been taking place in different countries. have we seen specific approaches in specific countries that have worked particularly well? i don't think so. i think, i think we saw the differences that i'm getting that we should we saw the differences in the different countries, but the, the, the interest numbers rates but totally different now. so when you,

when you start with an incident rate, or let's say 200, that means you have 200 people were getting in fact, 580-040-0000 people. so when you're now 50000 people in the, in the stadium, and you would not make any tests, it can happen that you have 100 people which are, in fact, in the stadium, you have an incidental 5. and you're, that's 20000 people into a stadium. then you have one person in the state. your move may be in fact, just from the statistic point of view. and, and so that makes a big difference. it makes a big difference. all, many people get the fact that in the, in, in this country, in this special area where you have to get all these matches happen, outdoor venues, but the lympics would have been different. some of those events would have taken place in doors, but now they're not going to have any spectators have. they taken the right

decision and each time i don't know they would be interested in japan, but they, they are more careful. i think it would be possible in the, in the, in the, in the that and the, every now outside that you have 10000 or 20 people that are indoors, it's a little bit more difficult. but also that it depends on the size of the room and in very large rooms, the aerosol clock is not very concentrated by the surrounding air. and in that way might have. so it's also that's all risky, but i, i think it's, it's the right decision when i'd be interested arising and just write an abundance of caution that i don't forget how to show it. thanks so much for joining us on the cave in 1900 special ed room. now it's

part of the program where we put one of your questions to ask science correspondent derek willis. oh, big scenes require you a new boost issue? oh, no one really knows the answer to this question yet because the very 1st recipients of vaccines approved for emergency use were only given those shots around a year ago in the course of the initial trials. but it wouldn't come as a surprise if booster shots proved necessary at some point down the line. after all . busy they are, for vaccines aimed at some other diseases. what's clear so far is that most people who receive approved vaccines that they're protected to a great extent for at least 6 months, at least against the current common variance. although the extent of that protection is, of course not fixed,

but varies from vaccine to vaccine and from variance variance. but studies are showing, for instance, that people vaccinated with messenger r m a vaccines that they continue to produce quite high levels of antibodies, half a year after receiving their 2nd doses. and effectiveness levels seem to be holding up quite well at least against older variance of the virus. but a new report from israel's ministry of health has now thrown some doubt on whether the delta variant of stars covey to might be able to do an end run on at least one vaccine. more often than other areas, at least in part because of that new data pfizer and by on tack. now, want to give recipients a 3rd shot of their vaccine after 6 months. which highlights the big, what f, lurking in the background, what if the virus mutates enough to start infecting

a much larger pers vaccinated people on a regular basis. and even worse is able to cause severe disease. and that's when we'll really need a tailored booster shot. and, and actually the companies that may cobra vaccines are already trialing, next generation shots aimed at stopping that scenario if it starts to unfold. mixing and matching different vaccines in the 1st 2 doses could also possibly help provide the kind of broader spectrum immune response necessary to keep even slippery future variance and check. so, in a nutshell, while there's no strong indication yet that our current vaccines won't continue to protect us, maybe even for a long time to come. if new variance start to seriously, in fact large numbers of fully vaccinated people,

then we'll see the rapid rollout of tweaked booster shots. me. and that's all for this edition of the coven. 19 special for more about found that makes the head over city 1900 section of our website. we dr. next time. next we're watching. take out the the news. the news . me,
