A demand high level reforms from within. Just the u. S. Steps up to africa to digitally decoupled for china a new executive order target social media sensation to take talks and to chinas payment and thats sitting service. Im sumi so much going to its great to have you with us the number of corona virus cases in india has topped 2000000 the national caseload has doubled in less than a month Health Experts fear the sure numbers could be even higher especially in india as densely packed mega cities where there is limited access to health care and yet restrictions are still being lifted. 2000000 cases of a deadly highly contagious why this these an all of the scenes you expect. Yet india seems to have to conclude with 19 minutes trade. Shopkeep within the to do is keeping busy. The business is fos lower than what it once was he is just glad to be up and running once more if you go about your life has to start again everyone knows that we need to take precautions people know that they have to maintain social distancing because things are going to stay this way life. Despite the high caseload people are still finding via short and simple the numbers out of every cheek with 1000 patients in india have recovered the official mortality to eat as low as well and delhi has set an example. In june that he had there past october home ben by a dramatic rise in cases but with the best the best thing i understand today that it probably dates time that 90 percent there could be more than meets the eye in a something so we the Delhi Government found that the fault of the people tested had had the good will not by this. This would mean 5000000 cases in delhi alone yet people seem confident. But the light doesnt keep setting at one place and you have to move on and see if these basic it is within our hands only be have to take precautions and move on or no plan look at the hospitals are doing better people were getting pushed around while in line for treatment but now theyre getting help theres no longer anything to be afraid of theres no problem were doing ok. India does have the was fostered growing our great normalcy however seems to be steadily fighting its way back. That report from day one and she joins us from delhi for more on the story. There are now more than 2000000 coronavirus cases in india and that number has jumped from 1000000 just 3 weeks ago how this happened. But its only despite the fact that its in that shop at least i think the Indian Government has committed to it spending what its what its unlawfully there is in all this unlocked she kicked off and it has actually got to gyms and fitness and does back into access as well it is next to a night out with it was also meant to the movements over the last 2 months we have seen more and more pockets and shops will not offices open back up and a lot more people are out and about as though this could be part of you feel the spread of the virus in addition indias population density is extremely high it might try not to give you an idea about just how high it is which is also meant that he has movement after 3 months of this shit does not dont provide the seed which existed and go through and me has meant that by this is shouting look at how i hold the government also that increasing numbers could be because of increased testing thats about one section numbers as we said michaud they are rising fast yet the fatality rate is about 2 percent that is far lower compared to other hard hit countries like the us or brazil why is that. Well there are several factors that experts are pointing out some need could be indias population only while im for indians of the fight theres a huge in and in addition to this there is a high its also and theres a high of that and then off infections to see this specially when you bring into question its countries get it you should let the you keep what its offered for the 15 percent which are today but in addition that would be also detail points as well to begin your logic which are causing the slaughter to do it why not do you know why doesnt this increase death in the proportion of deaths is becoming smaller and smaller and experts are also concerned that perhaps indias not recording all the deaths that have been caused by coronaviruses. But if these instead however was also greed this would be a margin that of things well the coronavirus restrictions have been a big blow to indias economy how do you think Prime Minister is likely to respond now that the number of cases has passed 2000000 but only the Prime Minister as well as other senior government ministers insistence and say its the fight against the good i dont know why it is will be a long while be have come out again to death. And destruction and the cautions actually simply because these destruction. However the Indian Government is also Still Standing on its dots that india and indians must learn to live the girl and i was that the economy cannot cannot stay shut and what and that india is instead going to focus on dragging up Health Infrastructure and also what was in Solutions Like drought and vaccine trials and dollars as well so and the its another example to mean so much and do not imposing an artistic knocked on the shalit which is looking increasingly unlikely as people put that into a lot of bias and. Nima such as were reporting in delhi thank you for that update. Youre watching d. W. News still to come on our show in the wake of the deadly blasts in Beirut Lebanon sleeper ship faces growing anger over incompetence and Corruption International donors pledge aid for rebuilding but demand high level reforms on with that. But 1st here in germany hundreds of students have been sent home from 2 schools in the Northern State of mecklenburg western pomerania a teacher and a student have tested positive in the 1st week of the new school year Health Officials are now worried about a steady climb and infections the number of new cases nationwide has talked a 1000 for the 2nd consecutive day. Summertime and the living was easy. The threat of the corona virus is waning for many in the country. I dont think about it at all not at all. When they come to you remember to wear your mask. But when you leave public areas its easy to forget on your own. Discipline is falling to the wayside people are letting their guard down because the threat doesnt seem so serious anymore according to this psychologist. Out of point where they think of testing the limits some say maybe i can take my mask off here when its actually necessary then another person sees that and then theres a Snowball Effect of not Wearing Masks lists. The numbers are rising germanys Public Health institute has recorded more than 1000 coronavirus cases twice this week the highest number of new infections in 3 months officials are growing concerned. 1 in shots being a virus in check is a marathon and a team effort we can only do it together you might see. An increasing number of clusters have emerged theres also the danger of people bringing back the virus from other countries Frankfurt Airport is offering free voluntary tests and starting this sunday people returning to germany from high risk areas will be required to take a test free of charge if taken within 3 days. Of a voice i am very aware that this is an infringement on personal freedom but i think its a reasonable one if those who dont get tested in time face a fine of up to 25000 euros so will there also be steep fines for those who dont wear masks or practice so shell distancing this Government Official says yes. Its good to have someone with whom you there are states in germany that already have penalties in place and i have the feeling that people are becoming more aware of the importance of Wearing Masks but if its necessary then tough penalties should be implemented. I carefree summer while trying to contain the coronavirus a balancing act for germany. How worried are germans about the next stage of the pen demick a new door slam tend to poll suggests not much it found that 59 percent think the governments current measures are adequate. Lets get some analysis now with our Political Correspondent kate brady who is standing by for us hi kate you know we saw 20000 people in berlin last week demonstrating against the governments coronavirus restrictions restrictions about this poll shows a clear majority still support those measures is that surprising. I think thats not surprising to me if you look at some of the people that were out on the streets last week yes there were 20000 of them yes they were loud but they are still very much a minority here in germany and a very unlikely mix of people as well who are united at the weekend people from the fall left from the far right conspiracy theorists and corona denials so certainly not a representation of the majority of germans right now but interestingly there that all growing calls for the measures to be more strictly implemented even a political level as well several politicians now calling for a crackdown on people who violate measures in place here in germany particularly when it comes to obligatory mask wearing so we could see more personnel for example on the germanys Rail Networks making sure that people are indeed wearing those face masks well another restriction weve seen on thursday Germanys Health minister announced that travelers coming back from high risk regions will face mandatory testing lets take a look at what the survey tells us about reactions to that now the testing applies to people returning from most countries outside of the European Union and 93 percent of respondents say they support that measure which kicks in on saturday so kate how is this actually going to work in practice and how will it be enforced. Well the main focus 1st and foremost is on as of tomorrow as you say as of sas as a anyone returning from an area the German Government deems as a high risk area will have to be tested when they arrive in germany unless they have a negative test a ticket that is no older than 48 hours and this is something that the government is not taking lightly anyone who refuses to take a test could face a fine of up to 25000 euros and that is a debate though among the public as well right now about who should be footing the bill for these tests particularly for people who are returning from higher risk areas where they were taking part in a necessary travel many people saying that they shouldnt be funded by the state if people have made that decision to go to a high risk area in the 1st place and said that individual people should be footing the bill instead when other big concern is schools they are starting to reopen now there are social distancing and hygiene measures in place for a lot of families are still concerned lets look at some numbers on that now 58 percent of parents with School Age Children so they believe schools are poorly prepared to deal with the pandemic but at the same time get a lot of parents do want to see their children back in school of course so what can they expect moving forward. Absolutely well theres a lot of factors to take into consideration by you on the health side one of the Big Questions is whether masks you should be obligatory at schools particularly during lessons in the classrooms and also on the other hand you have how well prepared schools are in terms of the education that children are going to get especially now that many of them will be in smaller groups to make sure that there will be social the children will be socially distanced from each of the but already were seeing how these measures of playing out we heard earlier today. 2 schools in mecklenburg western pomerania up in northern germany have already closed after a teacher tested positive a high school and child tested positive at a Primary School and it seems that in the coming weeks as more and more states go back to School Headlines like those could become all too familiar in the german press our Political Correspondent kate brady good to talk to you lets get a roundup now of some other stories making headlines around the world thousands of young doctors in south korea have staged a one day strike in gathered in the capital seoul they are angry at government plans to expand admissions to medical schools as a way of resolving a shortage of doctors critics say the plan would nurture low quality medical schools and worsen the quality of health care.

Yes this morning that it is a very. They took into custody 16 individuals and as part of an investigation into the bay which points the explosion and on the other hand they assigned and Investigative Committee and they gave the committee 40 days in order to a clean voice responsible for this explosion and they have the central bank and through was ordered to freeze the accounts of heads of customs and had been would support officials.

Reporting from beirut thank you. Now is the trade dispute now moving into the Digital World u. S. President donald trump escalated tensions with china on thursday by issuing an executive order that forces americans to stop using chinese owned apps to talk and we chat the move against ticktock the worlds Fastest Growing social media site was expected the ban of which was not. In just 6 weeks those uploading videos like this to mobile app ticktock could find themselves on the wrong side of u. S. Law the u. S. Has around 100000000 ticktock uses but not for much longer. Washington has issued an executive order banning u. S. Transactions with tick tocks Parent Company the white house believes the app threatens National Security saying it allows Chinas Communist Party to spy on u. S. Citizens china refutes the claim saying washington is merely a ping the ante in the ongoing trade conflict. With the us is using National Security as an excuse to unreasonably suppress companies of other countries this is an outright hegemonic act china is firmly opposed to it but. The controversy centers around this company bite dumbs based in beijing it owns numerous apps including ticktock recently Us Software Company microsoft expressed interest in buying ticked up from byte dance the white house says if a us Company Bought the up the ban could be avoided the u. S. Governments executive order also focuses on 10 cent holdings the chinese owner of we chat hugely popular in china the messaging and social media app could soon be banned in the united states. Lets get some insight into the story now we have with us from the university of Nottingham School of Computer Science high and scott thanks for joining us what is your take on this how safe is it to use tech talk or we chat. Thank you. Take tarc or we. As far as our research is concerned theyre basically the same as any kind of social media out you need to be aware that you are giving away quite a lot of data so its not just the content that you are uploading mento data at that time when you use possibly who youre connecting with possibly your location data its all kinds of data is being given away when youre using these apps to talk is no different in this respect but the concern here is that this information is being given to the Chinese Government so what do we know about that is china really spying on people and collecting their data using these apps. So the china. Has a National Security law which allows the Chinese Government to read to demand access to data from chinese go at the Chinese Companies the same hour is true for the us the us cloud act for instance allows the u. S. Government has to a t. Agencys to require access to non us citizen data on their platform so for a european person we thus no difference and pretty much every country has this kind of relationship between National Security bodies and the way in which theyre working there is of course a question about how do we feel particularly about the Chinese Government as opposed to the u. S. Government if we look at things like. Human rights situations if you are in hong kong obviously there is a difference between the Chinese Security agencies having access to your data versus u. S. Security agencies so. Generally speaking of the world the laws. That the Chinese Government has versus access to their platforms are not significantly different to those that other countries have the question is we how do we feel about the way in which governments are acting arent we start with the snowden revelations that there were huge concerns across the world about how the u. S. Government was using u. S. Platforms such as facebook to access data including the u. S. Security agencies hacking into on the americas phone so the question is really one of geopolitics how do we see ourselves as efficient relative to the kinds of values and positions that these are the other governments that it. Kind of from the knotting Im University school of Computer Science thank you so much for joining us. Thank you.
