Battle Islamic State militants attacking the prison where some of their fighters are behind bars prisoners stage a massive break out well get an update from kabul and. Lashed out at. 2 american astronauts make history successfully completing themselves 1st manned return from the r. S. S. Involving up to 5 the company. Im sumi so much got to its good to have you with us it is the 1st day back at school for some students here in germany mecklenburg West Pomerania is the 1st of 16 german states to restart classes after a summer break but with a pandemic ongoing schools are having to adapt to a normal after months of Online Learning and limited timetable stroman has vowed to get back to daily schooling nationwide by the end of the summer many schools will be teaching fewer classes and several states have already announced that students will be required to wear face masks. And lets go to diffuse test she is in rostock in west palm arabia what measures are in place to prevent outbreaks at schools all sumi you might be able to tell behind me there are not many of these guys around the kids here having their break at the moment and they dont have to wear face masks also social distancing measures are not in place anymore so they can play football as theyre doing now afterwards they will go back into their classroom and sit next to their best friend contact is not a problem the only thing they do you have to do is then wash their hands basic hygiene measures meaning avoiding to sneeze into each others faces basically and but you might see one of the other mask around because i talk to some of the pupils and they say i want to protect myself i want to protect my grandparents so im doing it because i want to and some teachers might also ask the students to do so and tessa whats your impression about how things have been going and what are students and parents telling you. Well their mixed feelings really because on the 107 degrees education is important and lockdown here started 5 months ago so basically over. Almost half a year the students here that didnt come to school didnt have. Seen which is coming back now and everyone is welcoming back nevertheless that is what some call a 2nd wave already around the infections of coronavirus rising in germany meaning there are some well some concerns but i talked to some parents lets have a listen. Seems like we live on our own Little Planet here but i have to admit that im not too worried and im quite optimistic when it comes to the schools and the guidelines that have been developed the measures have been adjusted over and over again and the teachers are doing what they can to implement them so far that has worked quite well so we really have to thank the teachers and the principal they did a great job would be able to follow anything in the school if we talk to regularly. I guess there might be more to support the children might not support it but when they get infected they can bring these biases to the home and. Who live in the who might get infected so. What is the chances that the new. Test our schools are actually prepared for the possibility that the situation could get worse. Well i talked to the hut master and she said we have seen a big push in digitalization all the schools have had an experience doing Digital Learning homeschooling for me you go put in place again never the less here. But hesitant because they know education is important pushing the curriculum through is not all of it though a school is a place where you see your friends where you learn basic social skills so everyone here agrees they have to do and make the most of it but also at the rules that stay in place to avoid a 2nd wave that could come out. Of these tests are reporting for us there in the state of mecklenburg west palm or anywhere just the 1st day back at school thank you. And here in berlin a big protest on saturday against pandemic restrictions has ignited a debate about the limits that can be placed on the right to Public Assembly the german minister for justice has a sermon that right but she also emphasized that pandemic rules like Wearing Masks must be observed yet its exactly those rules that the protesters rejected. Protesters called it the day of freedom without masks and without social distancing according to police 20000 people took to bell in streets on saturday to protest against current if i ever saw restrictions which they say violate their rights and freedoms demonstrators claimed they were more than 1000000 people. Journalists and camera crews were also targeted a reporter at german public broadcasters that day have filmed the chants of shame on you and the league and press a lying press. Room. Here bombed with me there was a really diverse mix of people from the fall left to the far right we met people who were faxes people who believe bill gates is responsible then there were people who say there is no corona then there are people who say the measures im proportionate to support these are workers receive carcassi creatures on monday commentators were left asking can this be even allowed the debate on how to deal with mass protests during the pandemic is now playing out of federal level. Kotick was it in criticism must always be possible in democracy in this respect the attitude of the German Government has not changed but the pitches that we had to see at the weekend are unacceptable. And thats why seeable from the beginning that the requirements will not be met or cannot be met then the question arises whether such a gathering can be allowed to include. The effect of the protest on the number of new cases is still unclear but the number was already ticking up ahead of the weekend prompting fears that 6 months of efforts to curb 19 could go to waste in the blink of an eye. Afghan forces have been battling militants from the socalled Islamic State after they attacked a Prison Holding hundreds of its members a gun battle broke out on sunday night after a suicide car bomber targeted the prison entrance at least 20 people were killed and dozens more have been injured in the battle now the spokesperson for the regions governor says 300. 00 prisoners are now at large the violence comes after Afghan Special forces killed a senior Islamic State commander and lets get the latest on that story with correspondent in the capital kabul hi ali bring us up to date on whats happening in jalalabad. So the prison itself has been secured the ministry of defense and then its been cleared of all of the fighters which is a relief to the people of moore hard because that means after each teen hours they have some relief but the problem is that some of the fighters also took refuge in a nearby Shopping Plaza and now the problem is how do you fear that area as well so the curfew in the city has not yet lifted people are still stuck inside told not to go outside not to open stores and the days about to end so essentially they will have spent their entire day be inside listening to the sounds of explosions and gunfire waiting for an end to this 18 hour nightmare of a must be a terrifying experience ali i mean what was the motivation behind the militants attacking this person do you know they didnt release a specific statement of this is exactly why we did it of course it was yesterday that the Afghan Intelligence agency announced that they had killed the intelligence director for these fighters and you know they. Did they really saw that as a sign of their success as a trial against the socalled Islamic State not on a stone and that prison that came under attack at least a 3rd of the prisoners of the 2500 prisoners in there where prisoners that were far that were caught under the banner of these dyas fighters. It could be something as simple as just trying to obviously get revenge and also to release their fighters what do you think all of this means for the prospect of peace in afghanistan. It complicates it even more because we know that. Actually i have been actively fighting each other they have very little respect for one another they constantly try to you know keep one eye out of the others territory. And it raises more questions of ok if you declare peace with a tall of on what do you do with this and the problem with this group is that their leadership isnt quite so clear their motives arent quite so clear and so the question becomes how do you negotiate with them who do you negotiate with and what are you negotiating specifically because you know the taliban claim to be fighting against a Foreign Occupation so you know what their intent is with these fighters you dont fully know what to offer them and how to get them under control i believe that if youre reporting from kabul thank you so much now for a roundup of some other stories making news around the world a Massive Wildfire is spreading in the u.

S. Space mission since 1985 space x. And nasa are celebrating the success of the mission which they say will bring the free market to space exploration. As we are now just about 20 meters off the ocean this is the moment when spy 6 proudly went when no company has gone before. Flashed out. As you can see on your screen we have visual confirmation or so im down to the firms landing captured glides into the gulf of mexico in the control room but through taine from space 6 and nasa the u. S. Space agency that contract for this mission you know is pretty much complete so. Even after the landing the danger wasnt over the dragon capsule weighs over 12000 kilos docking it and extracting the 2 astronauts inside a delicate endeavor teams currently working with a few private souls no one that space 6 saw this coming out of several sightseeing boats approaching the capsule with it gushing propellant few the pleasure boats were ordered to leave the area mediately. There we can see the lift. In the end the dragon made it to shore of the water and we have our 1st view and astronauts doug hurley and bob behnken emerged planet. With a huge thumbs up and an optimistic message for the u. S. And the. Moment just.

Is next mission is planned for september and the firm is hoping it will launch space tourists into orbit next year. Separation for 35 pm pacific its goal dominating a new age of commercial space travel nationals one in which competition between companies creates innovation and progress. Earlier we spoke to nasa watch as keith cowing who explained why this mission was so significant well its interesting because the idea of putting humans in a capsule and launching him into space and that having them splash down into water isnt necessarily moot sifton as was new to neutral peace we havent done it here in the states in 45 years weve ridden on crews flying on soviet space russian spacecraft and before that soviet space and they lean and lean and so we havent had a chance to do this in a long time but def says to engineer and more important things that the spacecraft wasnt a government spacecraft it was bought by the government now the service is run what by the government under a commercial contract with space x. They also have one with boeing so instead of the 10 trend over the past half a century of only flying people into space and govern their own spacecraft now were buying tickets and thats because the chance of going further than just a professional astronauts maybe commercial astronauts and maybe someday you and i can sports now formula one of britains Lewis Hamilton has claimed victory at his home grand prix at sauber stone that even some really bad luck could stop hamilton from extending his lead in the drivers championship to 30 points.

K. s Emergency Services during the pandemic before hamilton predictably soared away from the puck. To britains performance was so dominant that red bulls much for a distant 2nd decided to make a late pit stop it was a costly moves that meant the young dutchman couldnt take advantage when hamiltons front left tire blew on his last lap the mercedes months somehow trundled over the line and even he couldnt quite believe it.
