the public life has opened back up again. but those still at risk of serious harm from the corona virus are urging continued caution the south african communities kitchen to help pick up the pieces after last week's deadly riding. and police officers try to reclaim millions of dollars worth of looted, good. and in formula one for stephens, british gram pre ends after our 1st black collision with louis hamilton. ah, i'm see me so much. that's good to have you with us. for days after torrential rains trigger deadly floods in germany, survivors have turned to the daunting task of rebuilding. but with emergency services still busy looking for bodies and securing vital infrastructure. many residents are left to seek help from volunteers, son, sausages,

and fear. it looks like a village fate, but it's not what it seems. they. there's just a break time for the volunteers organizing an arduous relief effort. now that the flood water has subsided. solidarity is the one thing on everyone's mind right now and getting people who are being affected by the floods back on their feet as quickly as possible. people have traveled from nearby villages and further to get here to lend a helping hand with the clair rope over the weekend, around 200 color and football from descended on the region and being distributed around the affected areas. they've been helping locals by rolling up their sleeves to clear deborah, from homes restaurants and the ruined b hall. cologne, found marco helped organize the effort. you can't leave people on their own. you just have to help. if it has happened to me that i'd want someone to help. so i think it's great that people are lending a hand, goes around. the generous response is stunned locals including this head dresser.

she's had a business here for 12 years that i think there were so many people that you don't even know. i don't even know where they come from around here helping to clear up so much were willing to help. it's wonderful. comp felt short about children. despite all the volunteers, many people have been left wondering why there hasn't been no help from the authorities. yeah, but all those at the top are trying to bring order to the chaos. but it's not really working. a lot of help is coming from volunteers and residents showing an awful lot of initiative. but you can't really say that people at the top a helping really doesn't want to come with so many areas overwhelmed by the floods rescue services. say they're at breaking point this is relative freely. i don't lloyd. it's pretty

difficult to get help to everyone and we have to prioritize. if we get a report that someone still trapped in a building and people with watering that basement and being pushed to the back of the queue on as much work to be done. but many volunteers say they'll stick around long after this weekend or go out and play a game. our boss is given as monday and tuesday. so we can use the time to finish the job code on the support the local from a 100 on mentioned with many residents. still wondering how this disaster could have happened. that help would be much appreciated. let's go right to our correspondent julia. so deli, standing by for us in our violent. that is one of the counts has been worst hit by the floods. hi julia. it has been 5 days now since the flood waters hit by the surrounding area. can you bring us up to date on how things are looking on the ground and whether there is any news on the people who are still missing?

yeah, the level of devastation here is astounding. now people from there, the ground floors are trying to get rid of all the destroyed objects. for example, you can see here behind me it is full of things that's for example, an ice cream shop. and the fringes are all thrown outside with ice cream. still in it and all over town, people are trying to clean up, get rid of mud and debris. but it's not only the material losses that are important here. the loss of life is just tragic. over around 6116 people have been declared dead and unfortunately all authorities fear that the best or will continue rising. they are still looking for missing people. there is one good piece of news coming from neighboring north run with failure, where police have said they were able to get in touch with around 700 people who were unaccounted for. they were finally able to reach them on the phone and make sure that they were safe. julia,

we saw that report this incredible effort of volunteers coming to help with the clean up. but what about the official operation who is involved and do people on the ground feel like they're getting enough help? as we've heard from the report and i can confirm from what i've seen here in the people i've spoken to. a lot of the help is coming from volunteers. some people here have told me here in the neighboring villages that the fire department and the army only arrived 3 days after the flooding had occurred. and before that was just normal citizens coming from the nearby region, bringing their own tractors, their own equipment and, and helping out that way and volunteers themselves, and residents speak of a lack of coordination. everyone is sort of trying to figure out how to do this. massive cleanup operation, but no coordination from above is coming through. our reporter julia. so deli, there in,

vine. thank you. and let's get some more perspective on the story. now. we have our political correspondent in manuel shines for more. hi emma . good to see you. more than 150 people have been confirmed dead in germany. and now there is a debate that started as to whether this loss of life could have been prevented. tell us more about that. exactly. so me, the european flood warning system had was the power it is in southwestern, germany about the probable flood days in advance, so well ahead of the disaster. and likewise, the spokesman for the german weather service said that the warning had the had been given was enough advance notice with, with enough not is always will notify that way of up to $200.00 lead to the square meter would full that somehow those warnings did not get through to the people and they did not know what was going to happen. and this would be the responsibility of regional and local authorities to relay those warnings. and the question is whether

or not this was done timely. any measures such as evacuation appropriately and a timely carried out. now, the district administration of, of iowa, one of the west effected areas, announced that once they will have dealt with the immediate aftermath of the disaster when an investigation will be made into the timeline of those events. now, 2 questions was enough done. the warnings came through, but also what had been going over the last few years to prevent such catastrophes to happen in terms of infrastructure around rivers or in a more long term perspective, in the fight against comma change. and just quickly have there been any reactions to these accusations? yeah, well, we've heard, i was saying the district in iowa actually said that they would investigate into it . the thing is too early right now to have a proper picture of

a who deed was not what time. d w corresponding political correspond. emanuel shells reporting for us. thank you. you're watching the w still to come on. our show french authorities are investigating the alleged war crimes of the syrian rebel group. josh, on the slam w, spoke to survivors say the group engaged in systematic torture and persecution. that's coming up in a little bit. first, let's take a look at some other headlines from around the world. the latest round of piece talks between the afghan government and the taliban and don't have ended without a breakthrough. earlier taliban negotiators say they are committed to a political settlement and decades of war and ghana. stan, both sides agreed to continue talks next week. 12000000 people in australia to largest cities are set to stay under cove at 1900 restrictions for at least the next 5 days. melbourne extended its locked down despite only 16 new cases being

reported on monday. 98 new cases were recorded in sydney, which has entered its 4th week of lockdown. tokyo court sentenced a us special forces veteran to 2 years in prison and a son to 20 months for helping the former re no. nissan mitsubishi, german carlos goen fleet, japan, gunn, was facing charges of financial misconduct. you were made the fugitive in lebanon, the government around the world, or targeting the phones of journalists and human rights activists using a spy software called pegasus. that is, according to an investigation by more than a dozen news outlets, but the intrusion goes far beyond wiretapping. the pegasus malware allows intelligence agencies to secretly activate the microphones and cameras of their target phones, turning them into 24 hour surveillance devices. his smartphone was the target of a sophisticated spying operation in 2019 the hungarian investigative reporter

sandwich. bonnie was spied on for months with peg. it's a software according to a forensic analysis of his device and his own government may have been behind it. they could record as all my emails, my calendars, my for those, my windows, they could even turn on my, my microphone and camera. pegasus can be installed without the victim, doing anything, usually by an invisible message. one upon your colleagues was also under surveillance, according to an investigation by an international team of journalists. coordinated by the nonprofit group forbid, in stories. several media organizations in germany took part. they analyze records that included more than 50000 phone numbers, possible spying targets, apparently entered by customers of the israeli software developer. and so they included human rights activists, government critics, and journalists we thought, find some people, some human rights activists. one day decided to go in the strictly mexico to protest,

and then the next day they were on the lead. pegasus apparently also played a role in the killing of saudi journalists. demarcus oak g turkeys chief investigator was on the list of potential targets. the spiral was also linked to cash out cheese to be on same. these rarely firm n s o and says pegasus was only deployed against terrorists and criminals and says it would end collaboration if the spyware was misused. the company denies any connection, took a showcase murder several japan. you doesn't know the extent of the damage to his sources. when asked about it surveillance, the hungarian government set it followed all laws. now the investigation revealed that the pegasus malware was also used about the phones of parliamentarians and journalists in india. and the indian government is denying these reports. what's picked out the pub on to go. he's the chairman of the international commission on cyber security law at the supreme court of india. pub, in thank you for joining us. let's start out with what more we know about the

spyware. so, why would government be using? what are they trying to find out? and how would that information that they've gathered be used well, this is some friend that we are beginning to see where got one side and pleasingly coming up with mccann isms to strengthen the national government powers and also to expand the scope of cyber serenity. so what's currently being see is part of this particular trend where the governments want to become more powerful. they want to have access to the data of the targeted people. they want to know what the specifically doing, so that appropriate government standards can be prepared. now the government know that this particular strategy of theirs is in the grades and often in a negative or illegal zone, primarily because when you use a spy program for the purposes of interception, you also commit with crimes under different laws. for example,

even the under the indian cyber law, the government has been given the power of in deception under section 69 of the information technology act, 2000. but that power can only be exercised legit. you cannot use a spyware globe up to those snooping upon. and if you do so, that becomes a cyber crime section. 436666, b and 6. is it c of the indian information technology act? ok. you would be actually viewed that by doing all this, you are effectively perpetrating cyber to the hearts of the targeted people. and that could even come within the cyber tedder as an offense on the sections of the indian law. you're saying this is a gray zone and possibly cyber laws are being violated here. if the allegations that the indian government, for example was using the software are true. what consequences could there be? well, the consequences are that an investigation will have to be launched by an independent

authority and in case this kind of us by related activities are found that in violation of not just the law, but also the good be new court. then the appropriate joining of the dots will have to happen, who are the relevant site, but active? we've actually gone ahead and ordered this kind of activity. all the actors within india are the actors within the outside the data total boundaries of and get and then appropriate prosecutions will have to take place. because under the law, this is actually an offense punishable life imprisonment and fine. and also the concerned effected people could also seek damages, and these are unlimited damages by way of composition, right under the indian cyber law. so both these remedies are available haven't just very quickly if you can be on finding out who is responsible, what legal framework framework is needed to prevent this type of surveillance. gunky, the legal in both are completely inadequate to prevent this kind of surveillance,

you will have to now amend this, i believe the same, but we do live that internationally. there is a policy vacuum and cyber law is concerned. so national governments will have to devise the national us, i believe, the same books, so as to put in more checks and balances so that the misuse of deception to 5. it can be potentially prohibited or limited for that appropriate checks and balances. need to be put in place too much, but i wouldn't be handled the executive without appropriate to could actually be this would be for the doctor and the all you to work in the direction to prevent it was to leave it there. puffinburger, the chairman of the international commission on cybersecurity law, the supreme court of india. thank you. england has lifted nearly all of its remaining corona virus restrictions as part of what's being dubbed freedom day. yeah. across the country, we're back to life for the 1st time in 17 month indoor venues can now run at full

capacity in face mask will be no longer legally mandated, but not everyone is happy about relaxing the rules, especially with cobra. 1900 cases surging again. i'm trying to quite depressing, actually, and i think most people in my situation due to some today's freedom day to rosie dolphin freedom couldn't feel further away. breezy is considered clinically extremely vulnerable, heightening her risk if she catches curve at 19. she says she feels abandoned by the decision flipped restrictions in england. like a very angry, actually very angry after everything that we bring through. it's not freedom day for us. it's fair day. how going to be freedom for, for those of us who've been shooting, if we have to go back to square one and become home it again, rosie isn't alone in viewing today with alarm. cases are already at the highest level since january, and by the government's own estimates. lifting the rules could see the rocket to record 100000 a day. the prime minister bars johnson's backing,

his decision to re pump the rules, pointing in part to the you case, high vaccination rate. johnson who's spending freedom day in isolation after his health minister tested positive, said the public needs to be cautious, but asked if not now, then when, if we don't do it now, then we'll be up in the office in the month when the virus has the advantage of the, of the cold weather will lose the precious fall break that we get with the school holidays. we do not have the law school sales. when will we ever do? it says, this is the right members, this is about ending government and pays restrictions and allowing the public to make the choices. for the 1st time since the start of the pandemic, people will be able to decide how many others they want to meet. whether they follow social distance in guidelines or whether they choose to wear mosque cases rising sharply. there are many who see this as a gamble. earlier this month,

over $1200.00 scientists and medic find the letter branding freedom day, dangerous and premature. they fear climbing hospitalization. the risk to there is not yet double vaccinated and of exposing a population to long cove. it. i can't even express how immoral and unethical i think this is leading all through that. let's talk to dp good as sony is, the risks could also extend beyond the okay, maybe the strategy. the way it has been warned, even by on scientist advisors and the valuable lead to a new emerging that is more likely to escape back teens, which would not only put our own public response back by 7 months, but have huge local impacts dangerous experiment. well, calculated risk either way, it's a risk. rudy says she can't afford, she's cancelled precious visits to see family as she in the world wait to see whether the gamble pays off still to come on

d w. news formula one driver louis hamilton has won the british grand prix on his home turf. but the celebrations were marred by accusations from rival max for stop and that his race was on portsmouth like, we'll take a look at what is behind that controversy. but 1st, for the 1st time since a serious conflict, a rotted more than a decade ago, a western country is looking into atrocities committed by rebel groups. frances war crimes unit confirmed to d. w that they are investigating judge alice lum once. consider the strongest armed opposition group and syria. d w investigations team spoke to several witnesses and say they suffered abuse and torture at the hands of the hard line islamists, the this is how hotline islamist group jelly slam portrays itself. brain rebel fighting the regime for a free and just syrian shop owner. libya says that's all

lies. the group was only fighting for power. they shot him in the face in an assassination attempt. he says and later imprisoned him for being an arrival rather group in his home town quota as the warning to shut off. but they tortured me in many different ways. they wanted me to confess anything that i was homosexual working with ices or the regime or was selling drugs. it didn't matter what they brought in for teenagers to beat me continuously. so i wouldn't be able to sleep. they beat me non stop until i collapsed and started to hallucinate for hotel with video from after the regime we took the region show, the small says where, right to play be spent more than 2 years in isolation. that of all, they have the heart of a prison network where he and others told us about j slam health and torture.

hundreds of people, opponents and civilian so light or nothing. there is no difference between the presence of jason and the prisons of the assad regime. it's the same torture, the same mis treatment. it's all the same. after the w's investigative team spoke to several witnesses who told us similar accounts. they said jealous lamb went after political opponents, activists ready and religious minorities in the city of audra, the rabbit group worked with other jihadists to capture hundreds of christians and divides the later put them in cages and use the prisoners as human shields against us. hops forces the sponsorship uses the international community for years, embrace change and slam as the strongest, and the position force on the and the political leader, even let the opposition delegation to you. and sanction talks on syria. julie slam

a major concern for us because any prosecution, successful prosecution will also have to rely on this kind of testimonial evidence . now in 2 teeth rather be, isn't afraid. he would like nothing more than to testify in court. j slam, he says ruined his life just like the sat regime and he wants to see them held accountable for what they did. and if you want to watch more from d w's investigation into the role of judge alice love, you can had to do to abuse documentary channel on you to let's move on to sports. now. louis hamilton has won the british grand prix after a thrilling race in front of 840000 fans at silver stone. the brit seal their record extending 8th win on his own turf. but there was controversy after a crash between hamilton and his main rival mac for stuff and left the dutch driver

a home crowd is the best people in the beginning, the day 33 points off the pace. hamilton is no only 8 behind for stuff and but the next few races of an invigorating season will show who this controversial wind has fired up more the britain or for stuff and, and he's feeding red bill team. let's get a reminder of our top story here. in d w chance. so angela michael has described the damage suffered in floods in germany as real and terrifying or making a visit to affected areas. she promised financial aid for those who lost their homes, livelihoods, and loved ones in the disaster. coming up next, it's not just freedom day in the u. k. cities across europe are opening back up for

business and tourists, but case loads are on the rise again as well. then facility has more details on dw business coming up in a few minutes state whose the, whose, the, whose

ah, ah, you know, yes, we germantown, we bring you to a mac or you've never had before. the price just so what we'll do is medical really won't move back and walk. we talk to people who full time along the way, admirers and critics alike. and how is the world's most powerful woman shaking her leg is join us last me. earth, millions of years before our time since then he's been leading a secret life and have incredible abilities. fascinating,

potential for facing the great challenges of our time. if you think about it, it's impossible for human to survive without and will say the world starts august, 4th on dw me the a bad case of the nerves. investors are a g. about england. reopening the spread of a delta, a corona virus, barry and shakes confidence in economic growth. any infections, search in asia, europe, and the u. s. vacations saw due to covered, but local se, se, away. we take a look at how a rational cornwall is, pricing some home buyers and holiday makers out of the market. and german company shows how, investing millions of euros in your own railhead can pay off in more ways than one

events as well. and let's do business, doubling it freedom day in england. other parts of europe are also eating restrictions. and while those widespread uncertainty on trading flaws, the mood on deaths flaws couldn't be different. it's time to party again here in vienna's nightclubs. after a year and a half corona virus measures are finally being eased, something plumbers in the austrian capital had long been waiting for the way through the crazy feeling. i just can't believe we're finally going out again after a year and a half is complete madness. i'm so happy i mean vaccinated vaccinated all of us are tested, vaccinations are recovered. so no 2nd saw what the incidence raises, climbing rapidly again here, some of the new found freedoms are being scaled back for safety sake. from now on

anyone with a proof of vaccination, we'll have to show a negative p c r test for entry into venues instead of the rapid anti gen test. they have your heart mistaken. you have rising infection numbers and declining vaccination number. we still have scope at this point to tighten the screws a little bit. it's not like an holland where they're already turning very big screws winter months or i think this is a good time to do that. in the netherlands, infection rates rose dramatically after measures were eased among music festival. a new trade, a 1000 people were infected in just one night at the beginning of the month. the restrictions now being reintroduced are much tougher than austria, especially for major events and the hospitality industry. in other countries, infection rates are authorizing dramatically in the u. k. they shut up after the european cup, but instead of tightening up again, london is dropping nearly all remain in corona virus restrictions. beginning monday, denmark will only be required and public transport, and nowhere else. to wear in

a bit of a tricky situation. i still to calum pickering about that senior economist, the bathroom, beg bank in london, calum just how significant of these easing restrictions for economic development. well, most efficient can be anyway. what we're now having is the remaining restrictions on things like night life. finally, b, e, and the numbers that you can have in, in reference. you can go to a, pub bath, anything's in order to drink. but these wouldn't really training economic activity much. what we know, how do you use this? actually a test case, all the rest of the well, what happens when you have a high vaccination rate, but you ease restrictions when infection don't rising. and what happens when you have a surface, better bed, where a 1000 people suddenly catch covert in one night as, as an economist, how worried to you about the risk of another wave building up? well, we have another wave at the moment. we can only look at the data and economists

into what we see in the numbers and what we see writing, recorded positive tests, but a much lower level of complication than increased ways off provide ations, remaining low deaths remain low enough compared to other ways. they're still writing a little way. i think we're crossing fingers for is that the vaccines are success. we can start to read something resembling normal without restrictions so far the day to looks promising, but it's still very early days. so i guess we can't really rest on our laurels 100 percent yet. that's right. we face an incredible situation of uncertainty. no one really knows what around the corner. the hope is that we can ship from restrictions unlocked downs towards vaccine as the main protocol for managing the marriage. and of course, this is a virus, it's now with us forever. it will spread around. so what we need to pay attention

to is the complications from the virus. and again, the data in the u. k, which is probably running fine, 6 weeks continental europe looks somewhat promising. and again, i say that was why we made good bret kellen pickering at barron by thank thank you very much. 2 days before eating travel restrictions on france, britain has back track, citing the bt variant. it's meant to be more resistance, vaccines and other strains. the moves left tourists and the travel industry and a pickle people arriving from france must self isolate for 10 days on entering britain. even if fully vaccinated. last month's g 7, summit of the world's biggest advanced economies was good advertising for hosts, cornwall, a remote peninsula in the south west of england. but the regions already expecting a huge boost in demand for stations this year, with popular beach resorts abroad, shot to some tourists on a sunny day cornwall duty is dazzling. it's one of the best beach holiday spots in

britain. this one is our local group of amateur swimmers normally, and they can find an undisturbed spot to dive in every morning even in high season . but since the pandemic taking a holiday overseas has become risky, the swan is on the run from an influx of tourists, even the secret places reno in comb or you go and you still find it is wrong, even some of the camp site. so charging 8000 pounds for 2 weeks in a caravan thinks, you know, we will pay that, but people are because the desperate way it's people with money that are magically attracted to cornwall right now. this st. martha's home is as picturesque as ever, but the best coastal locations are now 2nd homes or interviewees driving prices. sky high though, there are some safeguards if a yield planet building build us a building and

a certain amount of property for sale to make a lot of money. you percentage of those sales has to be local people at a local rate. real estate agent mark wilson says, the acute housing shortage is call to buy rich urbanites to set aside over 200000000000 euros during the pandemic. now they're investing in 2nd homes or even moving to cornwall, right? or different home make that adjustment possible. the cost year 29 percent of my old in state move down from london or where my buyers so that's about 3rd of my buyers a loss of buys from the home counties. the cash when fall from these urban big vendors is making real estate agents happy. a 40 percent increase in one year, but many in cornwall are hoping that the 10 demik waive will soon break. and the

even more wealthy brits won't be tempted to move to this jewel by the sea. now a quick look at some other business stories making headlines. thank the day she started to vaccinate. it's all important, textiles, industry on mass factory stuff. so i've been working through lockdown to keep the economy running for 1000 to sit, to get some of in the backseat. she has in chinese real estate jain ever grants the world's most indebted property company and slumped. 11 percent provincial court ordered the freezing of a bank deposit held by it's onshore division. that rattled investors embrace concerns over the company's ability to repay debt. at tokyo, court has sentenced from a us soldier, michael taylor to 2 years in prison and his sons. a one year and 8 months, helping form a car boss, colors going to japan and was facing charges of financial remains of fugitive in lebanon and japan. so it's

a top corporate sponsor of the tokyo games is pulling all its lympics related tv ads, and senior executives will not attend this week's opening ceremony. so they show the decision to go ahead with the games. despite the pandemic is deeply unpopular in japan. let's talk to chelsea delaney, our correspondent in frankfort about this. chelsea, sponsoring the olympics is usually a huge opportunity for companies. what do you make a toy to shutting the games or you're right. usually companies are really chasing at the opportunity to be in a live. thank sponsor, but this year it's turned into a major reputational risk for companies associated with b tokyo olympics. people in japan are very unhappy with the japan decision to go forward with these olympics. they think it's a major risk because tokyo was already seeing arise and coven infections. now, many people are worried that this will lead to

a much larger outbreak in tokyo and throughout japan. so toyotas is making the decision that they don't want to really advertise their association with this a wimpy games. and we've seen other companies also trying to distance themselves. and it's really just an extraordinary move because normally this is the golden opportunity for corporate sponsors. and as well, toyota has reportedly put about $500000000.00 already into the sponsorship. so it's also, you know, a financial blow for the company. now, financial corresponding chelsea, delaney, thank you for that. instead of closing roads with gas guzzling trucks, some industrial companies are moving their consignments to rail and they're investing millions of euros in their very own tracks. it's not just a greener option, it's also new business opportunities for the likes of german firm. so by this, these tank wagons arriving at the silver is deaf laden with methanol and ethanol, which the specialist chemicals supply and sells on to pharmacy companies. but for

now, this consignment is being stored in the company's main base. having a private railhead means they can be pumped straight from the wagons into solver. his tanks residing was completed in 2020. the company wanted to cut back c o 2 emissions and make it logistics more flexible alongside it's truck terminal and the rhine river harbor. this is also the, the distant ending rel connection. we're now also able to ensure a product similar, easily available to clients. and that regardless tailback on the freeways or the ryan getting blog or prohibitively low water level, the whatever the hold up and coming mark, the government put up 50 percent of the millions of euros that went into the rail link. the subsidy is aimed at encouraging companies to move towards rail transport away from roads and trucks. these 4 tank wagons carry the same amount as 12 trucks

. but road transport remains the politically favored method of industrial, transportation, and logistics. can be decent. we know all about the diesel subsidies that benefit the whole sector. what almost no one knows is that every newly constructed industrial site in germany automatically gets a free road connection. but if a company wants a rail connection, it has to pay for the privilege. and that's a huge disadvantage for rail with even seeing good kids. that's one reason germany's national rail operator dodge bon, is calling for all industrial parks to get a rail link. and it now is a pickup service to close the gap between companies and rail. it can hurt her. i used to be cargo today. i can come to you as db cargo advisor with an electric truck or a transport or anything. i can pick up the wagon ousley, you got, and i can take it to the nearest rail yard and put it onto the rails there. the

concept is catching on and solver is knows it. other large and midsize companies are now also using it's railhead. opening up an entirely new revenue stream. the company is convinced its investment will pay off handsomely. i think business ah, the in december 2019 the european councils president show me shows embarked on a ground breaking mission. i had a clear door to make europe the 1st time that i've done things on the planet by 2050. not all member states support it and some persuasion is required for
