A black man to date wisconsins attorney general made public the name of the officer who shot jacob police 7 times in the back. By brant goff its good to have you with us we begin tonight with an effort to stop what is increasingly looking like coronavirus creep here in germany the number of new infections in the country is surging now with levels not seen since april today the german chancellor announced tougher measures to combat the increase travelers returning from high risk areas will have to quarantine for 2 weeks big events are remaining banned at least until the end of the year and people breaking the rules on wearing a face mask in public will be flown. It took 5 and a half hours of virtual talk to reach an agreement the rules for travel to high risk countries will be tightened stricter quarantine and no more Wage Compensation for the time of crying teen. We heard all those returning from travel to comply with a quarantine obligations and those also meet their responsibility towards fellow citizens knew this travel to designated risk areas is to be avoided whenever possible isnt in also given the musical beat the situation is that germany has navigated the pandemic fairly well but the number of new daily cases has been rising since early july worrying with the prospect of the upcoming flu season. For the fact that we are facing a winter that cannot be calculated at least from a current point of view when we do not know what effects the flu and other illnesses will have the numbers are too early too high so our goal must be to bring down the numbers and to avoid a 2nd lockdown. Shihab the political leaders agreed on a minimum fine for those who dont wear face masks people returning from low risk countries wont be offered free testing anymore but the testing capacities will be expanded. Come to every infection that is detected early is again every infection that is not recognized as a problem and every infected person who gets a negative test result is downright a danger. But governments are also extending a ban on major events such as concerts or sports at least until the end of the year the premiers and the chancellor couldnt reach an agreement on a limit of people attending private festivities. If more tonight lets cross over to our chief Political Editor mikael the good news shes been following the meeting for his good evening to you mchale the we knew going into this meeting today that the number of new infections is getting worse was the message after the meeting that there is still time to stop this from becoming bad yes and most of all the message was that now is the time to not ignore the corona threat but to actually take action and quite clearly here we see a shift where the government no longer wants to rely solely on the responsibility of individuals which it has done fairly successfully in the past it now wants some checks in place to check on those people traveling back from high risk zones to actually take tests and to stay in quarantine until they have the all clear that already so required to do that right now but clearly the government wants to clamp down and stop what is actually corona creek as one can see have just cycled back here into the Office People out in the park much closer than the 1. 5 meters required distance weve been seeing that since quite some time now here in the german capital because for the 1st time fines will be slapped on people cold not wearing face masks in stores and on public transport is this because pleas for cooperation are now falling on deaf ears. Well its mostly because the fines whether they are fine so not really vary across the country in some states there were no fines or toward someone way above the now minimum 50 euro so if you were travelling on a train across several states depending on where you were at that particular moment in time that could very easily this is a symbol across germany that you have to cover mouth and nose that is a National Requirement with the exception of saxony and health which refuses to follow suit and that highlights that were back into a different phase here again where there is an active attempt to coordinate from by them because the germany has been successful in managing this pandemic because most of the public has agreed with the governments policies but not everyone agrees a huge anti coronavirus restrictions plan for this coming weekend here in berlin their purchase has now been banned will that ban is that going to work we know. Well im not so sure i mean the hash tag trending today was basically stolen so basically telling people to show up colleague of mine was at those very protests a couple of weeks ago where we saw people not wearing face masks and also getting quite aggressive towards done this and this was the big health and safety concern here and its being hotly debated in germany whether that plays into the hands of conspiracy theorists who suspect the state behind what they see as a corona legend or whether that in fact is this real Public Health threat and that it needs to be avoided for the safety of everybody involved so a very hot debate here and. Restrictions said to me do we know whats feeding it is it just is it. In the public. It could be a bit of that but probably and id say most likely that we havent seen the kind of scenes that we saw and its of the the on that the threat hasnt hit home with many people ironically because germany has been fairly successful i think a void in this becoming a full blown pandemic across the country and i want to go back to what you said about people traveling to high risk areas there used to be a 4 g. Requirement for those returning that was replaced by mandatory groan of irish tests at airports for example how bad is being scrapped and replaced with this foreign gene requirement again do we know why the back and forth. While you was still required to stay at home until you have the clear and the difference now is that people need to think hard about potentially being checked out of pawn there will now be produce checking whether people actually stay at home so theres not a massive change in the requirement but what the government is trying to do is get people to think hard and to pay for their own tests if they travel into a defined high risk area is against the advice of the government and all with all the germany is still not closed to reimpose anything like a walk down again what is your impression how worried is chancellor merkel that germany is becoming a victim of its own success here. Well in fact i would actually contest the state premier of the various who spoke of the threat of a 2nd lockdown germany has not seen the kind of lockdown weve seen in france weve seen in parts of spain and weve seen in britain and there was all always more freedom of movement here so its also a clear indicator that we are dealing in perceptions as much as facts and the fight that the German Government is fighting right now that corona continues to be perceived as the threat that it is our chief Political Editor because look of now on the story for us tonight here in berlin thank you. For heres a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world a spokesperson for russian Opposition Leader of that scene of all he says he remains in a coma in serious condition the boy he was airlifted to berlin for treatment after falling ill in siberia a week ago german doctors say he was poisoned finding the kremlin has disputed western leaders have called for a transparent investigation you know its going to says it will seek hundreds of millions of dollars to help rebuild lebanons devastated capital beirut although the august 4th explosion was centered on the port the u. N. Agency says 160. 00 schools were damaged or destroyed you know to go also once funds to rebuild cultural. Rising floodwaters in sudan have left dozens of people dead and thousands of homes destroyed the waters have submerged vast tracts of farmland and are starting to encroach on the capital card too recent heavy rains have been swirling the nearby blue nile river to record levels. Well to the United States now where the city of wisconsin remains on edge in the aftermath of the recent Police Shooting of a black man 29 year old jacob blake was shot several times in the back on sunday as he tried to enter his s. U. V. Where his 3 sons were sitting today the name of the officer who shot blake was made public amid criticism that the investigation remains secretive and slow. Wednesday saw another night of protests in konoha but this time demonstrations stayed peaceful a day after the fatal shootings of 2 people. The respect for this piece he doesnt speak secret in this piece of community on wednesday police in the neighboring state of illinois arrested a 17 year old in connection with the shooting he was part of a selfstyled connotes a private militia video showed him firing his gun hitting multiple people. At the Republican National Convention Vice president mike pence said the violence must end. Too many heroes have died defending our freedom to see Americans Strike each other down we will have law and order on the streets of this country for every american of every race and creed and color. That line got plenty of applause at the convention but did little to appease many in konoha the Milwaukee Bucks Basketball Team refused to play a scheduled game and other teams followed suit. We are calling for justice for jacob and amanda to be held accountable. Federal authorities are now investigating the circumstances of blakes shooting. And for more now we want to bring in our Washington Bureau chief in this poll shes covering the story from there good evening to you elaine is there are several partly contradicting reports now coming forward on the events that led to this shooting last sunday what do we know. Right branded still not clear if there was only one shooting some reports say that were shooting said 3 different places what we know is that 17 year olds young man was able to cross the state border with an open carry long gun and that he was killing 2 people on the street that he is a trump supporter that he was taking part of his rallies thats what hes posting on his own facebook pages but theres also other social media prove that hes one of those people who say when the police is not able to protect ourselves we have to do that ourselves and we heard last night at the Republican National Convention Vice president mike pence calling for an end to americans killing americans or return to law and order he said it is is that the language that could be an election winner in the current climate in america. Before this incident i would have said clearly yes this is exactly what many many people want to hear but after we learned that those who support trump and mike pence himself those themself start shooting and killing people out there i dont know if this message will really reach the same voters it surely will be approved by the Trump Supporters but both the sites the republicans and the democrats now have to try to get those who are undecided yet so i dont know if mike pence really reached out to them. These words last night and tonight the Republican National convention in the u. S. President officially setting the partys nomination what has been the convention in the partys message to the American Voters so far. It was quite interesting to see how many African Americans home and new speakers from other minorities kind of shaved the last 3 days of the Republican Conventions one of the highlights most definitely was the 1st Lady Melania Trump who gave a really soft speech reaching out to the cool Crucial Group of female suburbian women so that was kind of the last 3 days im sure tonight we will see a rather harsher referee go and trump most definitely wont present him as a soft leader in his bubble the story corps in washington you just think you are. Youre watching the news ill be back at the top of the hour with more world news followed by the day i could see that. Combating the corona pandemic. Where does research stand.

Mental health is a talking point in germany a well off country with a solid welfare system still calls to corona crisis hotlines have spiked just as in many other countries in some places the surging demand for antidepressants has led to shortages the great lock down had already hit manufacturers supply chains and the number of americans who googled information about panic and anxiety attacks reached a 16 year high as the Novel Coronavirus initially spread across the u.

Although the current coronavirus the pandemic is also throwing up such a thing as there are differences now too and some of these could even have a positive effect on peoples Mental Health. And now theres more of a sense of community so what we see now is there are so many people in isolation but people dont feel theyre the only ones you know theres a lot more communication as well now we have technologies the other thing thats happened this time which is very different from sars is that there is a lot of psychological support what are. People can do if they find themselves while its a slow keep in touch with family and friends in technology they will provide you a tremendous amount of support the other thing is certainly a routine and routine helps in harlem and why. Heres an anxiety. Even though the worlds minds grim at the moment we should remember that there are still things we can do for ourselves and for others not everything is beyond our control. Time to hand you over to our science correspondent Eric Williams hes been looking into the questions youve been sending us on you tube. Does plasma therapy work and if so when should it be administered. This is another of those questions that needs regular updates since our knowledge in the area continues to evolve just a reminder convalescent plasma is isolated from deployed of patients whove recovered from the disease and it contains antibodies that help keep someone whos had at once from catching it again antibody rich plasma can also be given to others as a medication the method has been used to treat patients in a range of epidemics for for over a century now but its proven surprisingly difficult to determine just how effective it is as a therapy for people who have contracted cope at 19 theres a couple of Different Reasons why not least that its hard to carry out double blind studies involving placebos with with people who are in the middle of trying to fight off a potentially lethal disease although plasma therapy has been given to many covert patients in dire circumstances when doctors have run out of options theres still no really convincing randomized control trials showing that the convalescent plasma really does help despite that earlier this week the food and Drug Administration in the us gave it one. Called an emergency use authorization which is quite a controversial move since since a lot of scientists believe we just dont have enough evidence yet to justify it and they say that political factors must be playing a role in the decision there is some preliminary evidence that convalescent asthma therapy might be helping some people who received high doses of it quite early after diagnosis but theres still a lot of work left to be done before we reach what we would call substantial proof. Most of us getting used to old or new hygiene rules like mosques for those requiring a little extra protection about this space helmet its designed by colombian startup q. L. Concepts and while the helmet may look a little out of this world it has an important purpose protecting front line workers like nurses and doctors the company sold 120 of the 3 d.

And if you still havent mastered the art of mask wearing check out how good the japanese are with these handheld masks dinahs in kyoto have been giving them a test run holding the mosques in their free hand to cover their mouths when not taking a bite the idea comes from Kyoto Saga University of odds prototypes are made of paper or no more than fabric with handles attached students will use the test runs you further refine the months.
