The u. S. Chinese relations. And on the island of lampedusa already is are warning of a far right backlash against migrants housed into crowded camps social distancing isnt possible there and the locals fear a fresh corona virus outbreak. Im married to evanston its good to have you with us here in germany the number of corona virus infections has seen a sharp rise in recent days the countrys leading Public Health institute is warning that people are letting down their guard and not observing social distancing measures while despite these developments in central berlin today thousands of people have been out on the streets protesting against coronavirus restrictions. Police force organizers to call off part of the event early after many participants ignored hygiene and distancing demonstrators who are still there are being told to put on masks and keep their distance where else go home. With me in the studio now is d. W. Political correspondent leone if and how much time he was at the protests and many you were out there for hours you told me you spoke to lots of people there what were they telling you what were their demands while oh there are a lot of different people out there now as you said we spoke to many of them some of their demands included including by the organizers who put their demands in a document before the event saying calling on the balance the end of the pen demick they call this the day of freedom and they then called on the German Government to resign and on the state the public broadcasters of the media to also be dissolved and these were 3 demands that were echoed by many people who i spoke to at the protest and what united them was a distrust in the governments measures and you have to remember this is kind of a paradox you said just now and a lot of people were telling me well the government was telling us we have to keep our distance and stick to all these restrictions in order for the hospitals not to be overcrowded in order for people not to die but nobody died not that many people died the hospitals are still empty so what did the government tell us in the 1st place and this is why this is the this inherent distrust in what the government is telling them and thats why you saw i saw today thousands tens of thousands of people take to the streets not appearing to the rules not adhering to the face masks and they kind of use a lot of them were telling me they see the face mask as sort of that symbol of oppression the government is forcing them to wear masks and we also have to remember germany has released a lot of its members a lot of its restrictions and in recent weeks which has as you said weve seen a surge. And you infections so enormous amounts of distrust of the government but who are these people learning i mean im wondering because lots of people are quite grateful to the German Government for its Swift Response to the pandemic and the measures that have implemented theyre grateful that it saved lives but these people who dont believe band who are going well theyre also you can ride for rides of people who attended these protests today and what we can say some people were talking to me there were people who worried about the economic consequences of a pandemic there was a bus driver from creation who told me well i havent been able to run my business for 4 months how should i survive they have been people who are worried about their children not being able to go back to school which they have. Worries about whats this pandemic what kind of country to children but we also have to say that. Groups have been mobilizing for this protest not only. In that sense because of this. Also the n. P. T. Compact magazine that magazine which is right magazine thats under the observation of the authorities for example phobic and revisionist messages conspiracy theorists i talked to some people who believed that bill gates wanted to spread to vaccinate the whole the whole well so really these conspiracy theories that were not only seeing in germany but also across the world where people use this pandemic to feed into these conspiracy theories a lot of them also and a semitic background we saw some today so its hard to say id say the majority was peaceful but id also say we got a lot of verbal abuse from protesters who was we were calling us liars you were calling. So you know lying press i mean thats echoing nazi terminology is it not yes exactly. Only if and how much time thank you so much for your reporting and for sharing your impressions with us in the studio thank you.

Well u. S. President donald trump says he plans to ban the chinese owned video ticktock because of security concerns u. S. Officials are currently looking into whether to talk could be used by the Chinese Government as a tool for gathering intelligence. To talk with its viral dance routines and political activism videos is a favorite among teenagers worldwide. With over 2000000000. 00 downloads and 17000000000. 00 in revenue last year the app is extremely successful and influential but its exploding popularity has also raised red flags in the u. S. Officials are investigating whether ticktock is a threat to National Security there are concerns that the Data Collected by the app owned by the chinese firm by dance could be accessed by beijing the Company Denies any connection with the Chinese Government but donald trump is threatening to ban the app in the u. S. Well look you know we may be betting we may be doing some other things here double of options but a lot of things to do so well see what happens but we are looking at a lot of alternatives with respect to their. Reports on friday indicated that one of the. Alternatives being considered is an order for bite dance to give up ownership of tiktaalik potential buyers are reportedly already in talks to take over the apps u. S. Operations including tech giant microsoft and National Security review of tik tok is expected to be presented to trump in the coming days its results may further sour already deteriorating ties between the u. S. And china with tensions already running high on trade and the coronavirus pandemic Cyber Security concerns are now further straining relations between the 2 powers. And following the story for us as a reporter hangs friendly whos in the studio with me hello to you hanks when so what is really behind Donald Trumps call to ban tick talk does it really pose a Security Threat to the United States or is this merely more about this long running trade dispute with china i think the answer to that is both its true that tick talk is caught right in the middle of an International Political route but it also does have some security concerns and the concern is that by danced a company that owns to talk its based in beijing and then how a Chinese Company in general and the the watch of the Chinese Government because there are some preconditions to their existence or to their operations and that is they there are some rules they need to respect and there are some lines they can cross and now also in 2017 china passed the National Intelligence law that requires companies to comply with intelligence gathering operations by the state that Means Companies can actually push back. The requests made by the Chinese Government but is there a specific evidence that tiktaalik has been sending some sort of data back to the Chinese Government to be fair to take all there has been. Any evidence as in the tick tock the showing that to talk is sending any data back to china and the company also maintains that it is not influenced by the Chinese Government and it also says that even if the government requests sent to requests it wont send any u. S. User data back to china i think what were seeing now here is that to talk is trying to distance and sell itself from politics but even if it doesnt want to get involved in politics even if it doesnt intend to at some point it will have to if china does want to do it and if china doesnt make those requests well now were hearing that microsoft is talking about buying take talk at least the american operations of it would this solve the problem i mean that could of course take away the u. S. Concerns and for tech talk this is also probably one of the best ways out because the u. S. Is to talks major market its crucial to its crucial to the apps excess tense so yeah thats that could actually solve the problem but it is unclear how advanced the talks are and its also unclear if microsoft would actually want to get into trouble but im just wondering how could President Trump actually ban this ad does he have the authority or just the practical capability of doing that it is quite unclear how he would actually do it the president himself said that he could use emergency economic powers or and executive order to actually ban the eps however any sort of decree would be actually quite unconstitutional and it would be met with roof resistance from millions of americans who used to talk on a daily basis a reporter hangs friendly on the tick talk story for us thank you so much thanks.
