And worse were still waiting for our correspondents mathias been here so now we will go to some of the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic the World Health Organization says its sending a team to china next week in an effort to search for the origin of the krona virus w. H. O. Also warned that the pandemic was quote speeding up and china has reimposed a strict lock down a nearly half a 1000000 people in the province in a province surrounding beijing after an increase in cases there the e. U. Has named 14 countries whose citizens it deems safe to lead in from july 1st a stray candidate in japan are among those countries the u. S. Brazil and china are not on the safe list.

Near berlin it was their 1st face to face meeting since the pandemic hit back in march 2 leaders were eager to show they stand shoulder to shoulder on a multi 1000000000 euro plan they say is crucial to guaranteeing that use future.

On the 1st of july america is more central than ever to the future of the block the french president for his part wants to be seen to be injecting his own energy and ideas into the tandem he brought with him from paris a proposal for a new environmental levy and he spoke of how European Values have prevailed during the pandemic.

On the. One macro has been weakened by his partys poor results in local elections on sunday medicals handling of kobe has boosted her support even though the plan to transfer funds to struggling countries in Southern Europe is a huge huge turn which not all in the party back but as they try to convince some reluctant e. U. Members that they have the right recipe for recovery france and germany want to make sure theyre pointing in the same direction. Lets go to back to our breaking news story china passing a new security law in hong kong lets get the latest from our correspondent mathias building on who is standing by in beijing. Thanks for joining us so what is in the bill and why is it so controversial. What is in the bill is a good question there have been some articles on Chinese State media about the content of the bill but the draft or the law as its called has not yet been published we are expecting it to be published during the day but its going to come into Effect Tomorrow so this secrecy is of course one of the points what is very clear is that the law will give beijing wide powers to interfere in hong kong and to handle cases in their own way if they feel its necessary if they see their national security. Attacked or endangered and. This law was imposed by beijing in the hong kong basic law it says that hong kong should an act such a law on kong has not been able to do so so now beijing has done so this is controversial in itself and people see it as an infringement into the into the one country 2 systems the promise that beijing gave when to britain and to the International Community when britain handed over hong kong. Theres been a protest movement in hong kong over the past year prodemocracy protests movement how are they responding to this. The protest movement seems to be weakened at this point i think this law and this. This pushing forward of this gender by beijing has caught them badly they were weakened before due to the coronavirus restrictions protests were not possible in the last few years and now they are thinking how to react to this theyre trying to figure out everything that they are doing has become a lot more dangerous now and this of course has them very worried and what about International Reactions other International Reactions to this security law. Most western countries see this as an infringement of the joint declaration off an International Agreement that china has signed the g 7 countries have signed a joint declaration cond deming this move by beijing the u. S. Has even. Taken some measures some chinese officials are subject to visa restrictions now a new law allows the u. S. To withdraw the special trade status it granted to hong kong the e. U. Has been a lot more careful the e. U. Has basically voiced its concern and that is all if the e. U. Is constantly in negotiations with beijing over an Investment Agreement and it clearly gives the signal that it would really rather not say anything as long as these in these negotiations go on correspondent he is billing in beijing thank you german investigators are working to identify thousands of possible suspects involved in vast online Child Sex Abuse Networks authorities found at least 30000 new leads while tracing internet chat room activity linked to a pedophile case in the Western State of north rhinewestphalia theyve already charged 7 other people and hope this latest trove of information will lead to further arrests they watch footage of babies being abused of perpetrators targeting children its part and parcel of the work of this Police Investigation team and its not just videos the perpetrators also Exchange Information with each other online just live we dont reading these messages about abuse the way it is written i dont think you can rationally understand what is actually happening there. The investigators arent finding paedophiles acting alone theyre uncovering a vast network perpetrators exchanging information about how to sedate children and arranging meetings to carry out to be used together investigators have counted some 30000 leads its an uphill challenge for the judiciary. By it makes me feel nauseous were talking about something on an unprecedented scale. These perpetrators are using all the tools the internet has to offer that the thousands of suspects include sympathizers supporters and accomplices in addition to the abusers themselves investigators and prosecutors have spotted a pattern like minded people often meet online and spur each other on you have chats we found conversations in which one person says i could not bring myself to abuse a child and then 5678 people on the forum offer advice on how to actually do it this shows that inclinations to act can be strengthened through forums and chat rooms. And 120 case workers are employed by the Investigation Unit so far they have positively identified 72 suspects and hope further analysis will lead to more where then we will see an even greater number but im worried whether well even be able to evaluate this data evaluate it fast enough to protect children because this is a Bottomless Pit for 7 months now investigators have been evaluating the data the more they search the more horrors they find.
