On where our thank you so much for your Company Every always start with shocking news from one of latin americas poorest countries bolivia and that nation finds itself in a desperate situation in a region at the epicenter of the global coronavirus pandemic the countrys Health Care System is completely over. And overwhelmed by the spread of the disease most of the more than 80000 infections are in the capital where hospitals labs and Funeral Homes are on the brink of collapse in just 5 days the police collected more than 140 bodies from the streets in this car a 68 year old man has died as a result of kovac 19 he never made it to hospital just a few hours earlier a friend and Family Members had tried to get him help at 5 medical centers but they were denied elizabeth all the hospitals are full we were sent to the hospitals in la porte dadda and in code to whom he stopped breathing when we were underway and thats why were here the dead mans sister says her goodbyes while the police examined the corpse. And officer hands over the death certificate since the coroner hasnt turned up the officer says people arent just dying in their cars theyre also dying on the street and at home hospitals are at breaking point and its becoming harder to access treatment. Because while searching for help people often go from one hospital to the other some of them die in their cars. Our Department Records deaths that occur in private vehicles and on Public Transportation will add to this if you see a. Blip he is currently in the Community Transmission phase santa cruz la paz and are the worst affected regions the average age of death is about 75. 00 with more men dying than women. Rebeccas father died in his home because no hospital in an alto would admit him. Well we can do is bury him thats all we can do my fathers no longer with me. These stories of being shuttled from hospital to hospital are repeated every day during the pandemic and theres no end in sight cemeteries are almost full and funeral parlors have run out of coffins but this man complains that he had to say goodbye to a Family Member in a particularly painful way. They simply put him in an improvised box. You cant even barter with them about the price saying youre willing to pay for better but there is nothing else but all the. Family members arent even allowed to enter cemeteries and they have to say their final goodbyes from afar tossing flowers at the procession of cars bringing in the bodies for burial and every day police pick up an average of 70 bodies from the streets 85 percent of them infected with colbert 19. Harrowing stories are out of bolivia should germany brace itself for a socalled 2nd wave of covert 19 the head of the german Doctors Union is so alarmed by what she sees shes now come out and says its already here and in news few paper interview susan iona said there was a danger germany could squander away the success it had achieved so far there has been a steady uptick in the number of cases in recent weeks with over 870 new infections counted on tuesday eunice said hospitals were prepared but she urged people to stick to social distancing and hygiene rules like washing your hands and where masks. All right lets get you the latest now d w Political Correspondent simon young is tracking developments for you simon what measures are in place now currently as we speak to get a handle on the uptick in the cases here in germany. Well one of the things that the your thoughts is a particularly concerned about is people who have been going on vacation particular around europe and are now returning to germany and thats why theyve instituted a program of free testing at airports at rail stations of past terminals and other key points so offering free testing to people and very soon theyre going to make that mandatory for people returning from highly affected countries and regions so thats one key focus another thing i think were seeing is the police getting increasingly robust in action that theyre taking where people are perceived not to be you know Wearing Masks or following the distancing rules weve seen that in certain sort of party hotspots for instance here in berlin but also in relation to that big anti corona measure demo that we saw here in berlin on saturday i think the police are ready to impose tough fines or break up gatherings where they see them so those are a couple of measures now and there has been growing a resistance of some of which youve alluded to with that demonstration that took place on saturday people are fed up basically with some of the measures that are in place so how might this now go down with people in the country. Well i think when you look at germany broadly more than whatever 80 percent of people say that they are quite happy with the kind of measures requirement to wear mosques on public transport for instance or in enclosed spaces and also measures that were now seeing being imposed in schools as they begin to open up again so i think the vast majority of people in germany are behind these measures we did see 20000 people here on the streets of berlin on saturday come coming many of them from all over the country to show their frustration some of them are people who sort of oppose the state in the government whatever they do but i think quite a significant proportion were also just people saying you know we are really desperate our businesses and our lives have been turned upside down and we would like the government to be aware of that. All right and of course says schools are just reopened in some regions here in germany yesterday what plans are there in place if there are outbreaks in schools after reopening. Well yes mecklenburg weston for more rain it was the 1st state to start its School Operation yesterday and what theyve got there is a requirement for the students to wear mosques in corridos in communal areas also to sort of follow a one way system as they move around the school the idea is that that will allow the school of thought is to sort of separate the different groups out so that there if there is an infection they dont have to close the entire school and the politicians in that state is saying theyre incredibly vigilant and waiting to see how the system operates in other parts of germany which will be opening their schools soon theyre saying well you know they may move immediately to close schools again if the if there is a sort of wave of new outbreaks well know a lot more i think from next week when more than a 3rd of germanys schools will be back in operation to some younger reporting thank you very much and here is whats happening elsewhere in the corner a virus pandemic the World Health Organization has warned there may never be what it called a Silver Bullet for covert 19 a number of vaccines are in Clinical Trials but its still not clear how much protection they can offer the number of covered 1000 cases in latin america meanwhile has passed 5000000 its the region hardest hit by the pandemic in the world australia as a point the military now to enforce new law down rules in the state of victoria anyone caught breaching orders to stay at home while now face hefty fines and Mainland China and hong kong have reported fewer cases a stricter rules appear to be having an effect there. Want to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world.

To women have been injured one of them seriously while swimming with whales off the northwest coast of australia they were part of a group of snorkelers on a whale watching trip when they were caught by the tail fin of a mother whale protecting her calf the u. S. Election is just 90 days away and President Donald Trump is facing an uphill battle to reelection hes trailing by large margins in opinion polls and hes been roundly criticized for his handling of the pandemic some staunch republicans are now thinking what was once unthinkable voting for a democrat come november. Brian mcgrath has been a republican all his life the military adviser had a career in the navy where he was commander of a destroyer conservative values are as compass but should still Trump Took Office he no longer recognizes his party hes turned his back on it and longs for change listen i disagreed with virtually every word that came out of brock obamas mouth his policies were anathema to me but i was never not proud of him you see President Trump is a man who has almost no ideological moorings. Mcgrath is part of the new republican Resistance Movement they call themselves Republican Voters against trump many voted for trump in 2016 but now theyre turning against him with nearly 100 self produced videos. Before the president has broken my. Faith. Riddled with guilt and very embarrassed that i voted for him and the d. N. C. Run as a tomato. I will vote for the film made ok because i believe the tomato can do was harm then our current president. This initiative for rebellious republicans was founded by Sarah Longwell a conservative political strategist she hopes that the videos will encourage as Many Republican allies as possible to do the unthinkable they dont trust the media they dont trust elites they certainly dont trust democrats what they need is to feel like they have permission to kind of cross tribal lines and vote for a democrat which is something theyve never done before somethings wrong with donald trump. Another republican anti Trump Initiative is the Lincoln Project they attack trump head on using guerilla tactics putting provocative videos on the us t. V. News network fox each clip as a punch in the president ial stomach they show him as incompetent or as a lot of your putins friend and comrade in congress some clips seem to be addressed directly to the president himself. Trump has hit back calling the Lincoln Project i describe and the people there losers when hes attacking us for a day hes not attacking joe biden we focus on us for a day hes not focused on running a campaign so you know hes easily manipulated person some of the most vicious attacks on trump and simultaneous support for the democrats come from top flight republican political strategists George Conway the husband of trumps advisor kelly conway is one of the founders of the Lincoln Project the conway couple is symbolic of how trump is dividing americas conservatives the Republican Party as it comprised today is infected by the virus of donald trump i dont think theres any saving it they dont want to be saved they dont want to walk away from trump and trump ism so i think the Republican Party is effectively dead Bryan Mcgrath still has hope for a post trump era in which republicans examine their conscience and renew themselves as a Party Donald Trump connected with a lot of dark parts of peoples hearts in this country i didnt think it was possible that it could happen so quickly but it did im hoping that his performance. Turns enough people against his approach so that we can get on with the business of trying to be a trusted. Force for good in the world to that end in november hell do the unthinkable and vote for democrats joe biden but in 2024 he wants to see a conservative candidate he can be proud of. And the unthinkable has happened in spain where that countrys former King Juan Carlos is reported to have roughly left the country his departure comes amid a scandal over alleged illegal payments a link to a Railway Project in saudi arabia in a letter to his son tim philippe a former monic said he was leaving spain so philippe could work unhindered by the scandal. The news rocks by juan carlos a film astonished king is going into exile its not been announced where hes heading he says hes done so to protect the monarchy from scandal but hes decision has outraged many spaniards who is only this is really bad he should pay the money back. When i say that. Its a heist you decision he should stay and defend himself in court like the rest of us or you. Prosecutors have long been investigating kuan colace the monarchy is facing accusations he took a kickback from saudi arabia when Spanish Companies won a contract to build around the way between mecca and medina then the kings former lover current its resigned a victim stein is suspected to have received the broad money spanish journalists were given late types with helping to hide the some. But the king made a fortune especially in the United Arab Emirates and the gulf states and also saudi arabia. He kept it gifts and donations and then he set up an elaborate financial structure to conceal that money. Save me i dont see it. That republicans have been capitalizing on the royal scandal by organizing protests against the royal family theyre hoping spaniards have had enough. Of the corruption doesnt just involve a few bad apples demonstrating against the money he has a corrupt system of innocence and they want to get. Punk carlos allegedly continued to finance a lavish lifestyle with the laundered money after he abdicated the throne he could still face charges of the matter but now hes put a little distance between himself and son King Philippe and between himself and prosecutors. Well moments ago with spains Prime Minister there sanchez gave a press conference and i asked our correspondence course if the Prime Minister answer the question on everybodys lips where is one problem. Well he did he made a balance of the last months of this political course that hes finishing now for the summer break but everybody was waiting for him to Say Something about especially the whereabouts of the former king of spain as premier he didnt want to think exactly where he actually he would fuse to tell exactly the whereabouts of the office space but he said that he respects the decision of the royal family and presidency of the state to. Sell things you do sion from. Whoever in the family that may have made any wrongdoing and he the Prime Minister also said that they institution is not on trial that only. People but people or people can be tried be tried in court actually and he has said that while the king of spain one got a last premier of the former king has already said that he he has pledged to corporate and respond before just do we know where former King Juan Carlos is at the moment. This is we were all we were all try and find out we were waiting for the gate film. But the latest reports are pointing at. A former king my d. In portugal and that makes more sense because for the spanish people will not make. Any sense and will be very difficult to understand but to form a team or fly to the republic to the Dominican Republic as it was 1st reported now that we are in the very deep economic crisis we maybe really understand a person and you know is you know. The future is allegations would you go to the caribbean to a caribbean island to enjoy you know from time to. Time the last course that reporting for you from spain thank you very much for that and china outlet government is not only cracking down on muslims but on other religions as well as it pushes to assert communist ideology all buddhist temples have been closed or demolished while a campaign has been launched to the store hundreds of statues of buddha which has drawn International Condemnation as miltie is spilling our reports. Is not his real name hes afraid of repercussions in his hometown of she wouldnt have come under pressure from the government since they started protesting against the destruction of a buddhist site on the outskirts of the city 3 faced statue of the date of mercy in chinese buddhism is being demolished. Suddenly the Government Funds to set you off. They are doing works inside but they have not told anyone about the reasons for the destruction its left as buddhist and those who worship the goddess one mean inside and outside china quite bewildered. The 3 faced kuan yin and religious monastery were built in 2002 when a company donated the giant statue to the Buddhist Community made of white jade it quickly became famous. I am trying to get a look at the site the statue is located in a mountainous region about an hours drive from the city center. The decision to build the statue here in these mountains was not a coincidence good is and has a long history in. This area is Something Like the cradle of chinese buddhism many of the buddhist classics with 1st translated from sanskrit into chinese in monasteries located in this area as we approach the statue we see security guards posted at the roadside stopping and taking pictures of the demolition is tricked really prohibited the government does not want these images to spread on social media we can only film out of the car window. It is unclear how far the demolition has already gone activists have written to the government and complained on social media to save the statue what is necessary asians as far away as malaysia have protested against its demolition but to no avail. Sheehan is an ancient capital of china tourists from all over the world come to see its Historic Sites including its buddhist heritage but in recent years the government has pushed for a revival of communist ideology even inside Datsun Temple the world famous buddhist heritage site the sign reminds visitors to a poet socialist values. Its not only buddhism but also christianity and islam the Chinese Government is putting immense pressure on religions buddhism is treated more leniently because the government considers it to be more in line with their norms but ive witnessed myself the pressure theyre putting on buddhist temples and that activity is increasing. Temples have been forced to cancel religious events monasteries have had some of their buildings demolished experts estimate that the 3 faced buddha is just one of up to 800 statues that have been destroyed in recent years. But hes building their own reporting now lets turn to a fresh conversation with one of germanys greatest living artist on zante for born in 1945 as one International Acclaim for artists been called full of doodle beauty while here currently has an exhibit at the france mark museum and the varia the show was a rare chance to engage in a conversation with this iconic artist. Artist and same keeper considers himself a sort of alchemy just trying to create life from dirt and fire he sees himself as the creator of a new world. And certainly on that line is the our small life is like a miniature version of the cosmos was what we see in the vastness of the cosmos that endlessness exists just the same in the other direction within us the least in the hills. Man is the measure of all things and work is the purpose of life so for him art can be huge and encompassing in entire universe of meaning in the places where the muscles momentum and my art is neither in moderate nor monumental certainly not in moderate because there is no beauty without moderation and not monumental because i dont create monuments not god with me everything is in flux flows. Kiefers most affecting works pay homage to writers and there were this piece is dedicated to the late austrian poet and author in the book. The massive lead books serve as symbolic depositories of human languages. And memories of catastrophes guilt and crime. The need for us nudism up in the im im always fascinated when someone gives the world a certain order creates a new context i try to do that to go into the shop. Keeper uses natural materials such as would exist iron and copper chosen based on the emotions they arouse in him. Its fired by ancient mythology german history and by his encounters with other creative people on some key for his work can be read on several levels here bricks evoke the rubble of war behind the human mind imprisoned kiefer shows us that freedom comes through creativity through greed.
