Bidens running mate is the 1st woman of color to run on a major ticket. Miracle george the baby boy born within minutes of last weeks devastating beirut explosion. Thanks for joining us germanys was 4 months seen as the poster boy for dealing with the Current Crisis but now Health Minister against spawn says an ongoing rise in new Coronavirus Infection is worrying and has urged germans to be very alert the warning comes as the institute for Public Health reported the highest number of new cases in more than 3 months. Temperatures arent the only thing rising jaring germanys heat wave the robot kok institute for Public Health reported 1445 new cases on thursday the highest number since may 1st. I want to say on behalf of the government the development of these numbers is worrying and they should worry yes we dont have a single big outbreak but many small and medium sized outbreaks across the country. Many cases have been traced back to holiday makers returning from vacation as well as family gatherings and parties at 34 the average age among positive cases is also younger than in previous months. That means that infections are prevalent above all among younger people but thank goodness that means fewer serious cases that said theres still a risk because at some point you visit your parents your grandparents maybe there are people among your friends with chronic illnesses underlying illness or. There are people that work in health care in hospitals and other areas. Testing meanwhile is on the up but the process isnt always going to plan the Southern State of bavaria announced wednesday that 44000 results of tests taken by holaday makers returning to germany by road still hadnt been relayed among them were 900. 00 positive cases the delay was due to the manual input of handwritten data the consequences on the region are still unknown well lets bring in our Political Correspondent up until now germany has been keeping a number the number of infections quite low everything seemed to be going quite well what has changed. Well there has been a number of groups linked to this increase in the number of new daily cases here in germany especially holiday makers returning from breaks not only here in germany but especially from abroad as well and also people attending family celebrations for example large gatherings in the parks especially during the heat wave that were experiencing right now and it seems just anecdotally speaking as well that people are being a little more relaxed especially when it comes to mask wearing in some of the required Public Places like on transport at the moment as well especially given these extremely high temperatures that were experiencing here in germany at the moment but one of the main concerns is that what we seem to be seen here in germany is lots of small to medium sized outbreaks and not these large concentration of. Outbreaks that we saw in previous months which will dorothys found much easier to call if you just to look at the Bigger Picture in germany right now only 35. 00 of germanys 400. 00 constituencies have not reported any new cases in the last 7 days so it seems that these new cases really all very widespread at the moment. If new infections. How will the government respond we expect. Well what we can expect right now is a continuation of the plan thats in place which is to implement a very localized response and at the moment were already seeing very localized measures being updated as the situation develops so just to give you an example up in hamburg in northern germany this weekend for the 2nd weekend in a row there will be a ban on the sales of alcohol in many bars restaurants and small shops and the idea that behind that is for all fortys to try and limit the amount of people gathering in large public spaces again something that seems very attractive right now in the situation we find ourselves at with this heat wave but even when it comes to social distancing a mask wearing thats something that still varies from state to state which of course comes with both pros and cons theres lots of regional inconsistencies but at the same time it means that local authorities can take a targeted response depending on how the situation develops brady thank you and we stand the subject look at some of the latest developments in the coronavirus pandemic the World Health Organization says it has requested a review of results from russian trials of a possible vaccine and says moscows vaccine is less of danced than others those spanish region of the banned smoking on streets part of social distancing measures spain is battling a 2nd wave of infections new zealand strays the new outbreak to a cold storage warehouse quarantine breach there is among the suspected causes. Now a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world buggery an Anti Corruption protesters have marched on the German Embassy in the capital sofia they are calling on germany to use its presidency of the council to take action against the bar garion government protests have been held for over a month now demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister and chief prosecutor who they accuse of corruption. Crowds of people of forms human chains in the bill a regime capital minsk as part of a peaceful way of demonstrating against Police Violence for several nights of unrest after president of example of the shanku claimed a landslide victory in the countrys president ial election. The us military has released footage claiming to show iran iranian Navy Commandos seizing an oil tanker near the strait of hormuz the ship was held for several hours before being released with no explanation thats according to u. S. Officials last years or several ships captured in the strategically important waterway. War of words is brewing over the role of a tiny german order in the construction of a controversial gas pipeline from russia germanys foreign minister has told the us to mind its own business over the north stream to pipeline as u. S. Secretary of state carries out European Tour some u. S. Republican senators threatened sanctions against the ports washington says the pipeline will make europe dependent on russian gas our reporter loonie from hostile went to find out more. Germanys baltic coast people from all over the country come here to get away from it all. But the small resort town of sustenance now finds itself at the center of a global trade dispute. Its just off this coast that germany and russia hoping to complete a controversial pipeline project. Behind me you can see the reason for this political turmoil these pipes they are supposed to be used to finish the construction of the north stream to pipeline the academic cesky is one of 2 special russian vessels preparing to lay the last 160 kilometers off the pipeline. But not if the u. S. Gets its way 3 senators have sent a letter directly to the port of new can in just minutes warning that the port operator its Board Members shareholders and employees brisk quote crushing legal and economic sanctions unless they back off the project. That doesnt sit well with the people of the assets besides tourism the port is the most important economic factor in town. What does trump have to do with nothing he should stay where he is and let europe do its thing. And thats it those are trams political death rows is where he wont be reelected i hope he wont be reelected we dont need a clown like that in World Politics if. You dont get it i think thats in its nose hard to defend itself. Again such a threatening letter this construction has been in preparation for a long time and now its all supposed to get torn down but i dont think were going to stand for it was. The State Government to set the threat of sanctions amounts to extortion. Fundable i expect the German Government to hold talks about this with the us. And then is this we need to see what mistress for america to interfere so drastically in germany and europes Energy Supplies the must see if i instructed his or us comes good on the threats of the port could face economic ruin becoming a pawn in the hands of global superpowers but the people of the us needs a stain come for now. To the us now where democratic president ial candidate joe biden and running mate come a harris have made their 1st Campaign Appearance harris is the 1st one of color on a major parties president ial ticket the event comes prior to biden formally accept the democratic nomination next week. Historic debut for the biden harris ticket even though the pandemic kept the crowds away the democratic duo campaigning in person together for the 1st time in joe bidens home state of delaware former Vice President called harrison a tough proven fighter whose background reflected the diversity of america. And this morning all across the nation little girls woke up 1 special little black and brown girls so often feel overlooked and undervalued in their communities but today today just maybe theyre seeing themselves for the 1st time in a new way. As the stuff of president and Vice President harris is the 1st woman of color to be the Vice President ial candidate on a Major Party Ticket she used President Trump of bungling the Coronavirus Response and failing to confront racism. The president s mismanagement of the pandemic has plunged us into the worst economic crisis since the great depression. And were experiencing a moral reckoning with racism and systemic injustice that has brought a new coalition of conscience to the streets of our country demanding change. America is crying out for leadership. But harris and biden havent always seen eye to eye last year she attacked his judgment on racial issues as she campaigned for the president ial nomination. It was hurtful. To hear you talk about the reputations of 2 United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country which characterized my position across the board i did not praise racist yet the pair now stand united ready to take on donald trump and mike pence in november its a dramatic reversal of fortune for the california senator after a disappointing president ial Campaign Donald trump is trailing in the polls and biden has signaled he could serve just one term but means harris could now have an inside track to the presidency in 2024. Well joining me now is. U. S. Election team stacy the 1st time weve seen the 2 together. Since shes become his running mates how would you describe the done that if you watched the whole thing and yeah. They had a genuine chemistry it seemed and biden said he was looking for somebody he could be some pasta cope with and it seemed like he has that and Camilla Harris and they worked actually really well together they were stronger together and they humanized each other in a way that weve yet to see put President Donald Trump and his v. P. Mike pence so they seem like they were ready to try to you know rebuild the country. What did she contribute to those voters well the 1st she thinks all of the strong ambitious women that came before her but the 2 main components of her speech was the arguments against the trump and a strong argument for biden she reminded us about bidens human side the struggle that he had early on in his political career when he lost a wife and child in a car accident and she reminded people about his country contributions to the civil rights of efforts by reauthorizing the Civil Rights Act and by reauthorizing the anti discrimination and housing so these are some things that we feel like people have forgotten because we feel like we know joe biden and she just really went after trump one point she says that he has a delusional belief that he knows better than the experts when it comes to the coronavirus and she pretty much put it at his feet that the reason why there are so many people who have died and why the economy has tanked is because she is an effective leader and she also talked about herself or did she say that this isnt new people said that she seemed kind of cold when she was running for the democratic nomination that she didnt share enough about herself but this time she was more of an open book she talked more about the immigrant story which a lot of people like myself nigerian and cuban can relate to growing up in the United States and she talked about how her parents brought her along to civil rights marchers this and she talked about black lives matter so she was a little bit more human herself some people say that she could actually out showing. The president ial candidates. Well i mean that might be true but i dont think joe biden cares hes not like a donald trump where he cares so much about his own ego that he cant share the spotlight i think he just wants to win and he wants to concentrate be a realignment of think American Public if you would mike pence watching some of the harris speech what would you be thinking id be thinking i dont want to go up against her shes a really tough shes very strong and you know trump tries to portray her as this angry black woman but she showed that she has this class a misdemeanor in this way of just slicing it with words and having a smile on her face so its going to be interesting im looking forward to the debates so theres a big thank you as of a quick look at some other news home called media mogul jimmy law it has urged Democracy Movement supporters to be persistent and patient in their fight for freedom lie health an online address after being released on bail on wednesday the newspaper publisher was arrested under a draconian new chinese law which restrict protests.

As chaos reigned in the hospital and the streets of beirut in a dimly lit corridor or georges birth was a success one of those words that hes very special and the whole of the light in the darkness the curtain wreckage despite all the horror that was present around us george was born in good health. To me how. Well george and his parents escaped unscathed 17 other people died in the hospital and dozens more were injured had been smarter suffered several broken ribs and a punctured lung. George has now gone home where his parents have been reflecting on the damage the blast did. I thought about we spent 4 days after the explosion laughing and crying the people around us were hurt so we were afraid for their that happy at the same time the feeling is indescribable. To his parents he is now known as miracle george a baby who survived a chaotic in a city left reeling from destruction.
