Receive an unprecedented liability shield based on the theory that theyre a neutral platform which theyre not. Twitter because Fact Checking trumps tweets but its likely to face stiff legal hurdles plus france puts its face in of paul and terry track and trace half as it relaxes coronavirus restrictions but critics say the app has major shortfalls. Hello im terry martin good to have you with us the National Guard has been deployed to the u. S. City of minneapolis during a 3rd straight night of unrest angry protests have spilled over into violence and looting they come in response to the death of an unarmed black man in Police Custody earlier this week the citys mayor has called. Criminal charges to be filed against the officer who was filmed kneeling on george fords neck during his arrest the u. S. Department of justice has launched an investigation into floyds killing which protesters say was fueled by racism. Just days after the death of an unarmed man the anger remains on the streets of minneapolis. His name shouted by Peaceful Protesters who echo his final words yet ready. The tension hanging stick in the year even as the smoke clears from the night before in which anger ignited parts of the city local stores were set ablaze others looted. It was a reaction to the graphic video that captured the final minutes of George Floyds life you know. The black Community Left fuming and looking for the law to now push you the offices in question with the same for all city as it did the handcuffed george floyd then you know now. We want justice the one you know the officer to be held accountable for his actions that is. The state local and federal authorities tried to lower the temperature at a joint press conference but instead raised eyebrows by asking the community to bring forth more evidence. We need the communitys help there were folks there on the scene not both that we couldnt identify necessarily at the time we need to know who they are come forward if you have a video please share it we want to do as quickly as we can a thorough investigation to get answers to those questions in the hours that followed those words it soon became abundantly clear that for the black community of minneapolis justice is not being served fast enough our correspondent stefan sumus is in many of those and joins us now stuff whats the situation there right. Well i tell you what started as a peaceful protest maybe many hours ago has morphed into an all out riots and looting buildings around me and you can see this right now you just can see behind me are on fire and whenever a building fired burns down the another one is set ablaze people here are still very very angry and we talked to protesters and he had basically 2 Different Things number one the crowd who says people all over the world and the america the elites the politicians have to see this the violence the looting the riots to understand that they are fed up with things like they happened to george floor the other crowd says this has nothing to do with peaceful protesting against the killing of George George florida and as you can see motions are running high. So those 2 groups are both here and watching buildings burning down police not inside and the National Guard 500 National Guard members are supposed to be deployed here but i have seen any stuff and the people protesting there are clearly very angry but who or what are they directing their anger at. Police at the police there is a deep rooted deep rooted mistrust and anger against the police and. Or through the police and want to happen now to. The latest video. This translates also to at least to politicians to government City GovernmentState Government as i said. People here the majority of people says this is exactly what the world needs to see buildings in flames anger and looting to understand that they are absolutely fed up and. This is not so no place anymore that any cop treats africanamericans or people of color like this in that way if this is something that aside from sending in the National Guard what are authorities doing to address the grievances of the protestors. But of course officials here in authorities have promised a solid indepth investigation that they have to do this they have to take basically their time to not mess up an investigation to hold everything they find up and that it holds in court so that if those Police Officers are guilty they actually king. Be punished for what they did this is not really understood or appreciated by protesters here they want quick action and they want to again a symbolic display off that they are absolutely absolutely fed up and all words of politicians or authorities in one way or another to calm them down is basically wasted at this point thats what they tell us stefan thank you very much that was our reporter stefan seamans there in minneapolis minnesota. Well u. S. President donald trump has signed an executive order that aims to make social Media Companies liable for the content on their platforms much like newspapers are trumps move comes after twitter flags 2 of his tweets suggesting they may be an accurate. He calls it protecting free speech while the social Media Companies say its a politicized approach to law Donald Trumps latest executive order is designed to strip social Media Companies of their existing immunity when it comes to content published on their platform. The choices that twitter makes when it used to suppress black shadow. Our editorial decisions pure and simple their editorial decisions in those moments twitter seems to be a neutral public platform and they become and theyre with a viewpoint and i think we can say that about others also this week twitter put fact check labels on 2 of the president s tweets that had unsubstantiated claims about voting by mail in the u. S. Twitter said it decided to do so because the content broke its rules on the key issue of voting trompette back and accuse twitter of trying to interfere in the 2020 president ial election and stuff for free speach. The business and Technology Sector the order could could freedom of speech across the internet while legal experts are warning that it conflicts with the existing law which only the congress and not the president can change it really is a complete misreading of section 230. 00 it takes. A law that has been interpreted time and time again very very broadly by multiple federal circuit courts and just says im replacing all of this with my own interpretation that i have no right to give about how to interpret this law and so no its really not going to have any staying power in a court i may really is kind if you have a piece of bread or a bowl or maybe the order would likely be challenged in court ahead of the november president ial election. Earlier we spoke to w. s Washington Bureau chief alexander phenomena nutter what motivated donald trump the son of this controversial executive order the logic behind this executive order is intriguing and thats actually whats trump always a wanted and wants to publish his posts whatever he has to say without any limitations even though. They are wrong or false statements or derogatory comments and hes executive order to take the very legal provision that allows him to do so with impunity so its sort of difficult to understand but we have to say that the signing of this executive order placed to his space because by starting this battle this war with Silicon Valley he is doing something that will be very popular with his supporters and he can say look there is a conspiracy there are large media groups that dont want me to get reelected there is only one voice that you need to trust and it is my voice. So you look now at some other stories making headlines around the world today german carmaker volkswagen says it will invest more than 2000000000 euros in china the targets are 2 electric Mobility Companies after its investment b. W. Will become the biggest investor in battery maker shun the german auto brown is also increasing its stake in the chinese electric vehicle maker j e c motors. In washington d. C. Restaurants are getting ready for a limited reopening on friday theyre allowed to offer outdoor seating only now that the city is partially lifted coded 19 restrictions the Food Industry has been particularly hard hit as a result of the law. The u. S. Britain and japan are among the countries contending chinas move to assert more authority over hong kong after china voted to begin imposing a controversial new security law prodemocracy protesters fear it will erode freedom and justice in the semi autonomous territory. And ethiopia has started repatriating its citizens stranded in lebanon because of coronavirus restrictions several 100 people arrived in addis ababa from beirut on thursday thousands of ethiopian workers have registered to return home but lebanons high ticket prices and cornered fees are making the trip difficult. South korea has reported its biggest spike in corona virus cases in almost 2 months prompting the government to reimpose a number of social distancing measures including. Closing any schools that opened just a few days ago parks museums and cedars in the soul much paul in the area are also closing for 2 weeks in an effort to slow the spread of the virus it comes after officials announced more than 130 new cases in the past 2 days some of which came from an outbreak in warehouses of an ecommerce firm. Well for more lets bring in journalist frank smith in seoul frank why are authorities so concerned about these flare ups because the infection numbers relative to population dont seem very high. Yes they are pretty low relative to the population but we need to remember the previous outbreaks that took place here in south korea early in the coronavirus history in the city of daegu it was just one person attending several Church Services that spread the virus to what became really thousands and then recently here in the south korean capital in the entertainment of e. T. A. One you had one person now thats infected more than 250 with this recent outbreak in which and thats just outside of the capital at a Logistics Center you have now you know i think its more than 200 people that have been infected and so its its really kind of spreading and it gets more difficult the more people that are involved to perform the kind of Contact Tracing in testing that can help contain such a cluster outbreak ok so what is the government there doing to contain this latest outbreak well its doing that Contact Tracing as i mentioned to try to identify the people that might have been in contact with workers that were affected at that house its also doing a lot of testing of all of those people to make sure that they dont have the virus and then trying to find out who those people have contacted as well theyre also going to other Logistics Centers other warehouses surrounding the capital as more people are or and things online those places are getting busier and it is difficult to work you know where a face mask in observing social distancing in such an environment and so the government is trying to crack down on that as well to get people to observe these measures that help prevent the spread of the corona virus. Frank briefly if you can south koreas gain wide praise for its handling of the pandemic given this new wave of infections is its approach now being called into question. Thats a very good question as you mentioned earlier the numbers in terms d of relative to the population is still pretty low and as i mentioned south koreas Contact Tracing is quite vigilant they collect cellphone data they collect credit card records they look at c. C. T. V. Footage to try to track down those people that are infected with the virus that came in contact with other people and get in contact with them and have them tested so when this cluster takes place its just a few days now they are in the beginning stages of doing that Contact Tracing and doing that testing so will know more about how successful south koreas measures are i think in a few days frank thank you very much for bringing us up to date there that was journalist frank smith insult is a look at some other developments in the pandemic the number of worldwide coronavirus cases has topped 5800000 according to John Hopkins University brazil reported a daily record of case new cases on thursday with more than 26000 fresh infections its the 2nd hardest hit nation after the u. S. And unexplained illness that strikes children and could be related to the corona virus has now been detected here in germany and the African Union is calling for a suspension of debt repayments for the rest of the year as the pandemic spreads across the continent straining resources france has approved a track and tracing app to country begins to for the relax its stay at home restrictions from starting next week the app is voluntary and people when they come near anyone with the coded 19 virus but critics say it could have been more effective if france had teamed up with its neighbor germany on a joint as originally planned. Get those 4. Call those against. The French Parliament gave the green light for the stop covert app by a clear majority on thursday anyone with a virus can make a note of it in the app the app warns other users if they come too near to the sick person the app has great timing starting tuesday france is ending stay at home restrictions restaurants and cafes as well as public parks will be open. According to frances secretary of state for Digital Affairs the app is designed to get the Coronavirus Crisis under control. Walking into the french want their social life back. They want all the stores open. The app provides the needed safety for the newly won freedom. In some countries like china south korea and india Coronavirus Tracking apps are mandatory but European Countries like france are making them voluntary. Almost all that affects my life a bad idea in my opinion. This is evidence of anything and i think it might be a good idea but unfortunately not everyone can use an app. The most Vulnerable People the elderly wont be downloading the air they would know how to use the tool belt to. See critics point out that the french and german apps wont be able to communicate with each other when the german app launches in mid june theres a lot of traffic between the 2 countries france is a popular holiday destination and workers from both sides commute back and forth there would have been major advantages to a common noun. Or lets bring in jenelle dumela on from our business desk good to see you so Contact Tracing are meant to allow the safer you have been ng of the economy allowing people to move around again but how well to these thoughts really work well results in the countries where theyve been rolled out so far have been kind of mixed if we take the example for australia they recently rolled out their coded safe and from the beginning it was plagued with glitches it didnt work with older smartphones enter fear but other Health Monitoring apps only about a quarter of the population downloaded it similar experience with singapores trace together only 20 to 25 percent of the population downloaded it and really what you want to get to is mass adoption you want to increase the likelihood that 2 smartphones of these apps will meet each other and Exchange Information and multiply those effects across the population theres actually an a study from oxford that says that at least 60 percent of the population has to download the app for it to have a market effect on transmission chains now that a country with most successful penetration rate so far is iceland at 40 percent but even they say it hasnt made that much of a difference so france is relying on the people using the voluntarily people are sure to opt out can it cannot be effective well there are countries that have made it mandatory like china and india but even in india only 10 percent of the population the 1300000000 people who live there have used it. But the fact is many countries in europe arent like china or india that it would be a red line for many to make them mandatory it would sort of strain at the boundaries of legality and there are also issues of enforceability i cant imagine that it would be made illegal for you to simply turn off your phone or you know or turn off your bluetooth as you move around the world so thats going to be an issue definitely and the fact is the a sort of Contact Tracing that we saw in south korea with credit card tracking credit Card TransactionsLocation Tracking c. C. T. V. Footage all of that is a balance to make of many sort of privacy loving citizens in europe all i can imagine jill thank you very much for bringing us up to date there thats our Business Editor jill gentle do alone. Now while societys oldest members are often seen as the most vulnerable in this pandemic some are proving that there are exceptions inspired by the fundraising walk of 99 year old british captain tom moore and 95 year old gun they and war veteran has begun his own walk for charity and aims to raise money for Frontline Health workers in africa 95 just sent home and hes a veteran of the 2nd world war i said privates in the british army he fought in burma now myanmar between 1990 in 1945 he was spots of the good cause regiments of the royal wistar fricken front force privates ha moment is the only survivor from his group who served in the war. At this cemetery in a shoe near these tombs save us a memorial to all fall in war veterans how men say its its has been difficult to live in with the memories of the war all these years since the outbreak of the cruel enough virus he has been consigned about to they have what it is costing globally he says the pandemic is deadlier than the 2nd world war because the virus is an invisible enemy we went to figure out a war we are. Recruiting the enemy and ply your strategy during the war how to defeat you but this is another kind of war is an invisible war you do see the only real enemy attack you. How to help in this battle last wall and his reasons 600000. 00 to support Frontline Health and fun rubble veterans in africa hes doing this by walking for 23 kilometers on the streets. On initiate steve that was inspired by our not a 2nd world war veteran from brits in cops in the mall who raised 40000000. 00 for Britains NationalHealth Service in a similar. Private home once walk. Off. Who want to help him reach his tie gates. Gun is a very strong has a very good a Strong Community spirit and thats great to see and its initiatives like this i think that we have im samak even if they support it anyway i got this everybody to give the little that he can to help support him supports the frontline one case to him to support how one ses hes also driven by it for his country and the african continent and general a jury in a difficult time like these if you love your country you do it. I do that 95 years and. Were going to see. How one has raised over 20000. 00 so far and small supports to reach his type gates but he says nothing will stop him from playing his little pots in defeats in 19 the scene and any. Sports now and 2 weeks after the mens been this league of the womens Business Leaders now also restarting its season the 1st games will take place on friday and saturday after a 3 month suspension due to the coronavirus of players from the 12 club stayed fit with individual workouts until they could resume team training. Germanys female footballers are back in business while womens leagues in england and elsewhere have scrapped their seasons the bundesliga will restart its 30th campaign. I think it sends a very big message to the world and not just the womens football world that womens football is back. But the restart does have its issues 1st of all it costs money mandatory coronavirus tests are financed by the f. A. But the clubs will have to pony up for additional expenses like hotels and security personnel and their t. V. Revenues are peanuts compared to the mens league just 67000. 00 euros per club the biggest source of income is sponsorship money that gives an advantage to established clubs like buying in munich and perennial champions of all sports. I want to make clear that anyone whos not prepared to take the next steps will find it very very difficult to play in the womens splined just league. I think it would be difficult for exclusively womens football clubs to win multiple titles because of their financial situation now. Smaller clubs like a season which has reached the cup final twice could be left behind they are dependent on local companies which themselves are in trouble because of the Coronavirus Crisis they may have to reduce their Financial Support to the clubs or end it all together the clubs cannot expect any help from the f. A. A. Either. As a registered association specifically a nonprofit registered association we cannot give or donate anything to the Business Operations of the individual clubs without compensation. Even turbin a part stam can no longer make waves in the bundesliga the club won 6 League Titles and 2 Champions League trophies but those successes are unlikely to ever be repeated. Just go with us to i believe the Current Situation will either stabilize or worsen over the clubs dont know what can be invested in the long term whether their partners will still exist in 2 years and be able to invest the same amount that makes it easier for big clubs like byron munich and ball sport with. The small clubs will have to get creative and hope they manage to pull off a surprise every once in a while.
