old ministries all right thank you very much for that update from istanbul now the balkans has almost 1000 cases of coronavirus with the majority in serbia where more than 70 people have died the country has imposed a 60 hour curfew designed to keep people at home over the easter break that's more from the capital belgrade. curfew in serbia started on friday at 5 o'clock afternoon and it will remain until early monday morning the ban on movement doesn't apply to people who must go to work including also the farmers everyone who is outside should have special license approved by the government through the email as authorities explain the this measure was taken after the morning touring of behavior it was noted that people especially on the weekends didn't follow recommendation about necessary social distancing and people did not stay home the result was a total ban on going out on weekends as you can see around me most of the people are respecting the lock down and streets are empty as far as numbers are concerned the number of those arrested on daily basis has increased in recent days

germany is marking the 75th anniversary of the liberation of balkan vald one of the 2nd world wars most notorious concentration camps a commemoration was planned at the site of the camp because of the current restrictions on public gatherings a virtual remembrance ceremony is being held instead one of the last remaining survivors tells us his story. of a concentration camp april 945 shortly after the liberation it was one of the biggest death camps on german soil from 1937 till 945 the nazis imprisoned more than 260000 people here even even he survived the death camp as a young jew he was imprisoned in one of the many separate forced labor camps. if you. want to be 11th the flood lights went dark the s.s. had gone. from afar we heard the rumble of cannon. nobody dared move many more were dying it. had been no food for days only the next day some of the russian prisoners went you know. the later we marched to it down here now it's much easier 56000 people were murdered. or died of starvation or illness. after the liberation of the death camp the american soldiers forced citizens of nearb
