berlin. sounding the alarm overr the spread o of ebola in the democratic republic of the congo . there was confusion at the border with rwanda as authorities try to stop crossings as a third deft - -- a third death was confirmed in a city. a population of 2 million, fears of epidemic are growing. remembering a huge sacrifice in world war ii tonight. thousands honored those who were killed in the warsaw uprising 75

years ago. the futile efforts to drive the nazis out of poland was the biggest act of military resistance against german forces in the war. could beijing the planning to use force in hong kong? that is what some are reading into the army' release o of a videos that includes an exercise in riot control. ♪ brett: i'm brent goff. to our viewers in pbs in the united states and around the world, welcome. fears of a new outbreak of ebola are growing. a third person has died in the city of doma in the democratic republic of the congo. the latest victim is a one-year-old girl whose father was the second confirmed case that died yesterday.

this is a city of about 2 million people so there are fears a few cases of the deadly virus could quickly infect hundreds, thousands even. the city is close to the border with rwanda. it has been a year since the original outbreak of ebola north of goma. that outbreak istill savining lives. reportrt: after another death from ebola in the goal -- congolese border city, rwanda. this thrhreatens the likelihoodf those that commute three and the countries. hours later it was open again with the u.n. saying border closure makes it harder to contain the disease. >> people will find another way. there are more remote areas if you can't go across ththe main border you find a different way. when that starts to happen, the ability to check to see if people are symptomatically not becomes more difficult. it is counterproductive and not

in the interest of either country. reporter: protesters further north in congo committed action. another death to add to more than 1800 lost to this outbreak. no surprise there is panic and confusion on both sides of the border. brett: we are joined by trish newport from doctors without borders in geneva, switzerland. she is coordinating the response. good to have you. how big is the risk of ebobola spreading within and beyond goma? trish: there is a risk. righght now therere have been ie past year more than 2700 ebola cases with over 1700 deaths. that is a lot. what is more concernining is evy week of all o of the new cases that a are identified, only 40%- 40% never identified were people

at risk of having the disease. because of this we have no visibility over the situation. we donon't knowow who haseeeen n contactt with confirmed cases. that means there is the risk of spread. brbrett: one year on, the fight against ebola, it is hard -- far from over. what makes it so difficult t to contain thisis epidemic? trish:h: it is challenging. the first time there has been an ebola outbreak in an area with active conflict. it is not t the conflicict, it s the lack of t trust the p people have towards thehe response. from the beginning, there was very little community engagement with the communities. since then it has improved but the communities have other priorities. there is a measles outbreak, cholera cases, people are dying of malararia and they dodon't al have access to clean water. when you ask the population why they are so angry or resistant

towards the ebola response, they said is not their priority -- it is not their priority. we have to work with communities, asking how they want the response in their communities and ask what their priorities are. we need to respond to those rarities as well. brett: are you getting a positive response with your vaccination drive? there has been a stronong driven the last year to vaccinate people against ebola. how is it? trish: the vaccine is experimental which means it needs to be used under research protocol. you would not use as a mess vaccination. you have to do it as a ring, which means all of the contacts are people that were in close contact with a confirmed case and everyone around those people. the problem is that is based off of surveillance system that is working. but 40% of the people getting ebola were never identified as

contacts or that had linked to a confirmedd case. we need to look at changing the strategy so there is better accecess to the vaccinine. bretett: whahat do you d do to d trust? we have hearard time and d time agagn the lackck of trust betwen the locals and the doctors, the physicians, that it is one of the biggest hurdleses. how do you get them to trust you? trish: it is a great question. i will give you an example whaht happens when you don't have trust. when you have a confirmed case, they are supposed to tell someone, a list of everyone close to them in their lives so all of those people wiwill be followed for 21 days to see if they develop the signs of ebola. if you don't trust someone, you won't tell them everyone that is close to you. it is an example we dodon't have this visibility over the situation. we need to be reviewing how we are dealing with the situation,

listening to the community and giving the communities the control to direct how they want ebola response. we have to lecture we are dealing and addressing with the other parities the comommunity s lilike access to health care, clclean water, take a surure wee responding to ththe measles ououtbreak and vioiolence andd displacement they are e living . brbrett: you have to convincncem you u are there to help and noto bebe big brother. trtrh newport, ththk you. trish: thank you very much. brett: poland's capital city came to a complete halt today to mark the 75th anniversary of the warsaw uprising. people gathered to honor the thousands who lost their lives fighting the nazi germany occupation during world war ii. 35,000 fighters took part in this active resistance which lasted two months.

it was crushed, resulting in german forces razing the entire city to the ground in revenge. >> the sirens sounded at 5:00 p.m. sharp your that is the hour the warsaw uprising began 75 years ago today. christina was 15 years old and a member of the resistance. she lost fellow fighters every day. executions were common. >> the memories are lodged so deep in me that the feelings at the uprising in general are just as strong as they were back then. reporter: on august 1 1944, the polish home army spearheaded an underground war against occupying german forces. after two months of fighting the nazis destroyed the entire city in an act of revenge. 200,000 old were killed -- polls were killed.

the german foreign minister apologized directly. >> i am ashamed what was done in the name of germany and i also ashamed of the fact it was brushed under the carpet for far too long after the end of the war. reporter: the visit was not an easy one not only because of germany's historic guilt but because of the delicate nature of relations between germany and poland at the moment. berlin has criticized warsaw's reforms. the polish foreign minister opened reparation. >> they rebuilt the destroyed capital by themselves. that fact shows there is a far-reaching issue here and the reason why we don't consider the question of reparations as having been resolved. reporter: joint commemorations, but also a show of strength from poland's nationalist government. a general election is in four months' time. brett: dw correspondent olivia

is in warsaw. we spoke to her a while ago and asked what the memory of the uprising means to people today. >> it has never been as important as now to polish society. the beginning of the warsaw uprising is i would say the most important, one of the most historic dates for the polish society we have remember only after 89 people could openly talk about what happened, and now it is for the political left and right, although there are discussions about how much it should have been there, should have happened, the high toll it took. people come to honor the fighters who have done the uprising against the nazi occupation especially for young people. it is a very important issue because we see research shows

young people got more and more patriotic. i can see many youngsters here with t-shirts with nationalist emblems. brett: you say people have become more patriotic in remembering this anniversary. i am wondering, this and an event, and anniversary that is uniting -- is this an event that is uniting the people or being used to decide to site -- divide society? reporter: it is dividing i would say. i am in the center of warsaw, and right next to me we saw a nationalist march starting. far right organized the march which started here. regular citizens came here. they were paying their honor to the fighters.

so the far right is using it but also the governmental party, law and justice. they use it because for their politics, identity politics, it is a big part and for them it is a symbol of strong poland, independent poland. it is dividing. brett: earlier today germany's foreign minister was in warsaw and apologized on behalf of germany for the horrors inflicted on poland. is that enough for the people of poland? olivia: it is definitely not enough. there is a big difference between the german and polish debate or the polls -- polish debate. the people here remember what happened after, the murders and destruction of warsaw. those responsible to not face trials or prison.

they could make careers. people here expect germans to learn more, to know more about it. they want reparations, a big part of the polish people think germany should pay more. all in all i -- they will settle these discussions soon. brett: olivia with the latest on this commemoration 75 years after the uprising in warsaw tonight. thank you. here are some of the other stories making headlines around the world. donald trump says he will apply a new tariff of 10% on $300 million worth of goods from china starting next month. the announcement occurs after the latest round of trade talks ended earlier this week in shanghai without progress. this authorities have ordered a town of 6000 peoplplto evacucuae amidid far -- fears s that a dam

chinese e troops in hong kong. thisis video, released by the people liberation army, is not just about regulular military training. it also shows soldiers facing down demonstrators. video will we see by many as a thinly veiled threat of intervention by the chinese military in hong kong's internal affairs especially when accompanied by this. message from the commander of chinese forces in the territory. the major general spoke of externally violent incidents happening in hong kong and said they should not be tolerated. he was referring to the mass protests taking place in the city for weeks, resulting in clashes between demonstrators and police. beijing has become vocal in its condemnation of the pro-democracy protests.

on thursday the chinese foreign ministry raised the prospect of military intervention. >> we believe e the hong kong garrison will continue to be a stabilizing pillar of hong kokong's lonongtime stability. reporter: also in the video, hong kongers expressing admiration for the pla and love for mainland china. this visioion of a model citizen differs sharply from that of the defiant protetesters who contine to throng the city's streets. brett: our correspondent has been following this from beijing. he says the statement we saw in the report from the major general represent a significant escalation in rhetoric. >> the people's liberation army has made it clear they would go in to the city if the government asked them to do so.

sending troops to hong kong would come at a huge cost for beijing and the two international backlash -- and lead to international backlash. the hope of bringing taiwan into the people's republic of china would be destroyed on a long-term. i'm sure beijing is hesitating to take this last step. as a last resort, they will be ready to do it. brett: that was our reporter from beijing. we want to go to bangladesh. large numbers of rohingyas refugees have been sheltered in camps since they fled myanmar to save their lives. myanmar have begun a crackdown. ethnic people say they were targets. the government of myanmar says it was going after suspected terrorists. but the u.n.'s special reporter on m myanmar said this campaign

was genocide. for now myanmar says it is ready to welcome the rohingya back, but that is hard for people who said they have been treated as pariahs in the land they oncece called home.e. reportrter: waiting to catch a glglimpse of the visitors tasked with deciding their future, a delegation led by myanmar's foreign secretary has come to meet rohingya leaders for a second time. the talks are to repatriate the hundreds of thousands of refugees in bangladesh. one of the main stumbling blocks, citizenship. >> those who lived in myanmar for three generations are entitled to apply for what we called naturalist citizenship. -- naturalized citizenship. when parents apply, sons and daughters, offspring are entitled to apply. reporter: the offer is unacceptable for many of the

720,000 rohingya who fled the country they consider their home in 2017 to escape violence, persecution and death. in myanmar the ethnic minority had been labeled illegal immigrants, even if their families had lived there generations. now the shoulder in camps like this one, and they want assurances. >> they don't accept t your citizens of the country. we want full citizenship. we will not accept a a naturalid cicitizenship card. we are indigenous rohingya. we don't agree with this. >> if they give us full citizenship, then we will go. if we accept a naturalized citizenship card and go back, they will again slaughter and kill us. we will not go. reporter: the revenge of project -- rohingya project being treated as foreigners in their

own country. myanmar blames single desperate it will not force them to go back to ion mark. they will not return for us -- myanmar blames bangladesh, but it will not force them to go back to myanmar. brett: the governor of puerto rico is resigning tomorrow after massive protests. half a million pros to regions have taken to the -- half a million puerto ricans have taken to the streets. the last straw appears to have been a leaked chat in which the governor voiced obscenities about women, gays and hurricane victims. dw's alexander went to puerto rico to meet some of those pushing for the governor to step down. reporter: he is well-known for his hard-hitting political anthems. this man, one of the artists who

get the message and be like this guy is wrong. he has got to get out. reporter: one of the people targeted by the governor was this journalist. he was angry but not surprised to find his name in ththe text messages bececause he has always been critical ofof the administration. he did not anticipate the consequences. >> i am proud of what happened. i was surprised about the civil commitment. puerto rico is for the most part a passive country. we did not take to the streets easily. and if we do, the protests are small. you can see the same people in the groups. reporter: proud but also worried that real change will come. that is how many seem to feel since governor masao announced he will -- the governor announced he will step down. that is why there are still protests taking place. under governor will soon be
