Photographs. Also come down. And marks the 75th anniversary of hiroshima the 1st atomic bomb attack remains the deadliest single act ever perpetrated by humans we need one of the survivors. Plus germany will enforce compulsory coronavirus tests on travelers arriving from high risk areas the number of new cases has risen to its highest level in 3 months. Im sumi so much got to thank you for joining us and International Operation is underway to help beirut return to a measure of normality after 2 shoot explosions killed at least 137 people in the lebanese capital emergency aid and rescue teams have been flying in from around the world much of the city is in ruins and hospitals are overwhelmed by thousands of injured victims some 300000 people are thought to have been made homeless by the blasts citizens are losing no time in starting to clear up. With their neighborhood gutted these volunteers arent waiting for help. The political elite they say are incompetent and corrupt. The community is banding together as anger mounts. To what was really here the revolutionaries taking the place of the state which is supposed to be taking care. And securing food and water for the people affected. Were taking on its role and were trying the best we can to help the people. Were not organized but we come together as one to clean up the country from thieves today we are carrying brooms but tomorrow we will maybe pick ourselves up and leave. The country on its knees french president Emmanuel Mccall flew to beirut on thursday he was welcomed by lebanese president michel aoun. Micron plans to coordinate International Assistance but he stressed that reforms are vital to lebanons future the security said its a political moral economic and financial crisis and of course the 1st victim of which is the lebanese people in the choirs reactions extremely quickly so for me this visit is also an opportunity for dialogue with political leaders and lebanese institutions the full support it is nice to. Be ben is. Microns visit comes as a petition to place lebanon under french mandate for 10 years is gathering pace online. For some perspective on the story we can speak to see had she served as lebanons interior minister from 2008 to 2011 mr bout with thank you so much for joining us here on d w we heard that the government is vowing to find justice here in the lebanese people are very skeptical are you confident that the government will actually find out what happened. Well people have every right to be skeptical. Because all president s are not really encouraging and people are fed up with promises that are not meant to leave at this time its different because this time people are and anger that they are really under huge huge pressure because of the high number of casualties that have been very high number of killed people the massive destruction that happened in the capital so this time i believe that something has to be done especially by the justice we are seeking truth we are only asking the government to give us answers as to what happened people have the right to know what happened it will not bring back the loved ones who lost their lives but it will actually give people answers and bring to justice whatever it should it should be done. You know the impact on the population is huge thats a question a lot of people are asking themselves 3000 tons of explosive material was stored at the sport as weve heard the head of the port try to get this material the judiciary didnt answer the Prime Minister knew about it so who is to blame. Well its still something ted and i cannot really tell whats what happened thats what investigations or meant to do. Could include council of ministers decision its a 5 days. A period of time that is given to all that was given to investigators in order to assess the situation and to do submit a federally mandated report on what happened this is not there not 5 days is very very short but it will at least give credibility answers to the question that you are raising every living these people are raising now whether that is someone who was responsible there are definitely someone who should be held responsible and that is definitely. A mixture of responsibility between many actors on the on the scene so lets wait until the 40 meaning days of the investigation and well assess the situation accordingly they will see whether the court would take steps. To arrest people you know some are under house arrest but i think that it will it should be dealt with more seriousness and more arrests have to be to be made mr barrett we mentioned and you said this is while lebanese people are extremely frustrated by chronic political deadlock corruption and you resigned in 2011 and weve seen protests over last year this year as well people calling for us a politician as well to come back to affect change why did you leave government and not try to improve such a difficult situation. Well simply because im an independent i dont belong to any Political Party and ready to serve whatever needs to be but its not personal its not me its not any any one of us and its a climate that should be changed its a Political Climate that should be totally changed and were all responsible for the change to to happen so im not quitting i resigned from office when i felt that this cannot be done the same way business as usual anymore but on many lebanese people are ready to serve many are ready to serve the country we all need to be part of the reconstruction of our economy the reconstruction of the trust between the lebanese people and the government this should be done but its not something personal really we we are all ready to serve but look at what what is happening in the streets young people are helping there are volunteers in the street that are helping to combat units and thats how it should be done but the government is doing little compared to what people are expecting. See i thought it would a former minister of the interior from 2008 to 2011 in 11 and thank you so much for joining us here in.

Now to some other stories making news around the world the australian state of victoria reported a record rise in 1000 cases and deaths as it went into lockdown state premier Daniel Andrews urged people to stick together and not to panic buy and he announced that meat production would be reduced due to the risk of virus transmission and processing plants around last night twitter says it has temporarily blocked president Donald Trumps official Campaign Account because of a tweet containing misinformation about covert 19 the misinformation was a claim that children are almost immune to the virus Trumps Campaign will have to remove the tweet before it can use the network again. The Olympic Rings installed in tokyo bay for the 2020 summer games had been removed on what would have been day 14 of the games of the games have been postponed until next year because of the pandemic after a wash and a brush up the rains will be back in the. Well the world is marking the 75th anniversary of the u. S. Bombing of hiroshima in japan the 1st atomic attack killed more than 140000 people survivors and families of victims laid wreaths at heathrow Memorial Park they also remember the moment the bomb hit with a bell followed by a minute of silence at the ceremonies were scaled back because of the Global Health emergency only a handful of foreign dignitaries attend a. Few survivors are still alive today their stories speak of horrors that the world hopes will never be repeated. Jiro home a tsunami is. In japanese that means a survivor of the bomb. Was exposed to radiation in his mothers womb as she walked around ground 0 in hiroshima looking for his father. But his father had been killed. If we dont speak the bombing will be forgotten as if it had never happened thats why we must keep the history and peoples testimonies on record with us. On august 6th 1945 u. S. President harry truman gave the orders to drop an atomic bomb on the japanese port city of hiroshima. The blast and shock wave instantly killed tens of thousands of people tens of thousands more died from strange new diseases caused by radiation. 3 days later the u. S. Dropped a 2nd bomb on the city of nagasaki. Truman succeeded in winning a decisive victory over japan and an end to the 2nd world war. But not a painless one the white house and the us military were well aware that their celebrations came at the cost of over 100000 civilian lives here oshima bombing remains to this day the deadliest single act ever perpetrated by humans. Few here are still alive to tell their stories sumi hopes their memories will live on but that his generation will have been the last to endure such horror. They can speak now to correspondents in tokyo for more on the story i saw nya i tell us how this anniversary is. Well like you mentioned earlier theres a big ceremony usually every year in the peace park in your oshima with the peace bell and a huge displays of flowers this year of future the coronavirus hasnt had to be scaled back a lot less foreign dignitaries could attend and there were also a few empty chairs along the talk show a seating because there are now on average 83 years old so for them there is an additional risk of course. I must say that the the heroes you may notice archy celebration is really a very big deal for these 2 cities in the rest of the country im afraid i get the feeling its quite different especially among the Younger Generation for them and this is really a thing of a long past long time ago and also at school they dont learn much of and so while its a very big thing for that he actually they want to respect their message of peace for the Younger Generation its a different story and yet 75 years later the threat of nuclear war is still with us i mean is that something people in japan are particularly conscious of they are they are conscious of it of course because of the vicinity to north korea and china. Then again theyve enjoyed a long span of peace they have a pacifist constitution a very strong sense of pacifism in the population and also every year the mayors of hiroshima and nagasaki they again send this message of peace into the world they also appeal have been appealing every year for 3 years now of quite a pen to sign the Nuclear Weapons ban. However the japanese government is less inclined to do so theyve actually ignored this appeal for the 4th year in a row and they would rather stay or have japan stay under the American Nuclear umbrella. Correspondents on your basket reporting from tokyo thank you for the welcome germany is bringing in mandatory coronavirus tests for people arriving from high risk areas that move this in response to rising numbers of Infections Health minister against france says the tests are essential for public safety. From saturday onwards travelers returning from high risk areas to germany will have to have a valid corona test in their pockets or accept being tested on the ground for free. Mr voice says i am very aware that this infringes on the freedom of the individual but i believe it is a reasonable infringement this is about more than just an obligation for individuals who return from holiday so in my view this follows from our duty as a society to look after one another and protect each other should. The list of high risk areas is updated regularly most countries around the world are on the list in the e. U. The spanish region of catalonia and its beaches as well as luxembourg are considered high risk by germany. But the belgian region of antwerp was recently also put on the list because of rising infections that. German authorities are worried about the virus being brought back to germany but theres also a real risk of people becoming negligent and spreading the virus at home according to the minister on wednesday germany recorded more than a 1000 daily new infections the highest number in 3 months the new rules come and School Holidays draw to an end in many german regions concept of physician on that aspect think the concepts are convincing convincing because they follow the goal of opening schools and kindergartens again that that has definitely been one of the Biggest Challenges of the last months for many in germany parents and children alike. Its cool and can the gods were closed. Least. From next monday pupils in germanys most populous regional trying this failure will go back to school other states have already started this will be yet another test for just how effective germanys corona measure is really are. Is following the story for us good to see you so as we heard there will be mandatory tests for people coming back from risk areas starting on saturday but what if those travellers refuse to take a test. Well if people dont comply with the mandatory testing that would be implemented from saturday on the was eve they dont comply when asked to do so they risk a fine of up to 25000 euros and that can be enforced even if its not passed by the local authorities now that doesnt mean that the find will be thats high but clearly we see a measure and thats and these trading people from refusing to be tested and this wisconsin quite a lot of people since the high risk areas as defined by dan rather caught in situations here in charge of handing the pandemic comprise more than 130. 00 countries and this will also mean that holiday makers coming back to germany will be tested until now germany has been praised internationally as well for how it has handled the coronavirus pandemic but cases here are now rising again and fairly steeply arent they. Exactly thats the 1st time since may add that the number of daily infections has passed the threshold of a 1000 the outside wheaties. Coincided and that has meant is to say that those figures were really worrying now the new infections are more localized and theyre happening small look less dense than before in time used for example are doing parties are people are becoming less and less careful with social these sensing and this actually led the government to warn the population against the site if you dont callousness that we witnessed over the past few weeks and yes i say to again today the pandemic is far from being over and do you think were likely to see another big lockdown. Well thats quite unlikely at this stage that well see a general generalized lockdown as long as the infections keep on spreading locally of course the situation is still very volatile but whats most likely to happen is that well see localized lockdown such as for example what we witnessed in those 2 and was found out when a cluster appeared in the meat plants or in a street in south east bellina a few weeks ago when another class so was uncovered this was the emergency plan discussed by the federal government a few months ago and that will be a peek a bill should a situation remain as it stands. Reporting for us good to talk to you and lets check in now as of the latest developments in the pandemic of German Airline lufthansa has reported a 1500000000 euro quarterly operating loss it does not expect air travel demand to return to pretend im a until at least 2024 the World Health Organization says the infection rate worldwide for people between the ages of 15 and 24 has nearly tripled from 4. 5 percent to 15 percent in recent months and germanys Hospital Association says its facilities are well prepared for a potential 2nd wave of the pen demick hospital say they also have better stockpiles of protective equipment than at the beginning of the year. Russia says it is aiming to start mass production of a Coronavirus Vaccine as early as next month a senior minister says the countrys pharmaceutical plants could be turning out millions of doses a month by next year but the World Health Organization says it has received no official notification and some scientists are warning that russia lacks the capacity to mass produce a vaccine yet the streets of moscow 5 days ago 16000 people running the Half Marathon many without masks and without keeping their distance the city has opened up again many here seem to trust that a new vaccine will soon be available to everyone. Else which of course have heard of last weeks and i think thats a very positive development i should vaccinated right. This is where the 2 new vaccines were developed at the moscow game alay institute and the Vector Institute in a visit built both state drum the Vaccination Program is supposed to start as early as october at a Video Conference russian president Vladimir Putin if you days ago the deputy Prime Minister made this announcement was a wish both vaccines are highly promising one is to be approved already in august and that was lead with just skim center. But both vaccines were only tested on less than 100. 00 volunteers the important phase 3 of the testing will only be done with a few 100 people. There yet this is highly irresponsible he has already researched many vaccines at the research institute. Says that. Its possible to develop a vaccine within one week one month or half a year as it is the case now that its impossible to prove in this time frame when it is going to be harmless or planned effective. Russia plans to produce 30000000. 00 vaccine doses by the end of the year another 170000000. 00 a supposed to be manufactured abroad. Russia wants to be the 1st country to introduce a vaccine to the world market possible risks one stand in its way critics say. Group. Shows do what is being free news right now in the something completely new good the ones judged vaccines are done with this is able to move we dont know how theyre going to act when somebody gets what more do we also dont know how long the community will last us from for Going Forward with and to. Moscow is returning to normal life and that is partly due to a possibly false sense of security that the promise of a vaccine this brings. Us to the sport.
