Continues with Climate Change and politics taking center stage with the festival helped kickstart movie going during a global pandemic. Thanks for joining us the american president ial race has taken on a new turn following comments allegedly made by the commander in chief of the u. S. Armed forces President Donald Trump is reported to have disparaged americans killed in battle in europe. The atlantic magazine broke the story it said trump refused to visit an American Military cemetery in france because it was quote filled with losers trump also allegedly referred to marines who lost their lives as quote suckers for getting killed our parts of the story have been corroborated by other news outlets including the usually pro trump fox news but trump himself strongly denies he ever made the comments you know is a fake story written by a magazine that was probably not going to be around much longer but it was a totally fake story and that was confirmed by many people who were actually there it was a terrible thing that somebody can say that kind of things and especially to me because ive done more for the military then almost anybody else but whether true or not the story has angered many veterans and has taken a grip on the u. S. Election democratic president ial nominee joe biden jumped on the story and had this to say. Trump is demonstrate he has no sense of service no loyalty to any cause other that himself. 5 the honor the next commander in chief i will ensure that our american heroes know all have their backs honor their sacrifice and those whove been injured will be in military parades. Lets bring in chad henry now a long Time National security correspondent in washington d. C. And a former marine captain whos reported extensively on Veterans Issues thanks for being with us how credible do you think these reports are. Well so far nick as you know all of the sourcing has been anonymous no one has come out and said you know i am this person i was there and i heard this but more and more agencies are as you say confirming this but again with on name sources so we look at trends so for instance in the 2016 campaign we saw the president berate john mccain for his experience as a prisoner of war and by implication other people who had been prisoners of war undergone torture saying that this wasnt heroic endeavor we saw him berate the father of an army captain who had died in iraq a book that came out early this year said that in early 72017. 00 early in the president S Administration he was in a meeting at the pentagon with the nations top military leaders and at that time he called them a bunch of dopes and babies for being engaged in what he called a loser war in afghanistan as you note a Fox News Correspondent Jennifer Griffin who has been on the National Security be for a long time has confirmed she says with 2 i think these are former Trump Administration officials who were on that trip to france verifying the story that the atlantic put forward about the president s remarks so. We dont know from a particular source whos come out and said it openly but the trending would make this potentially believable yeah something a pretty large trend as you describe it do you think though given theres an election ongoing could it have any effect on Public Opinion in the final 2 months of the president ial race potentially people have all sorts of things that they think about and worry about and are concerned about as they head into the ballot box but. We know that veterans. Can look at present trumpet see some things that hes done for them hes encouraging signs of legislation that allowed the v. A. To better hold accountable bad Leaders Within that agency created a hotline for veterans if they felt their cases werent being handled with sufficient speed and is built on programs from the previouS Administration and actually try to take credit for the entire program. Having to do with providing civilian medical care to betterments near where they are so there are things that the veterans and people with concerns about veterans and people in the military can look to and and appreciate among them its present problems but the idea that a commander in chief would speak disparagingly is something that would have been difficult for anyone to believe even if one thought that the commanders in chief in the past were cynical they would they would praise and speak well of military people who are in order to ensure that they continue to do whats necessary to secure the National Defense and i just jump in print you know or think you are a marine and just briefly understand it his alleged comments offended many marines why is that well the battlegrounds of belo would are our sacred so u. S. Marines what u. S. Marines did there was really put themselves on the map in u. S. Defense history. Instead of digging trenches as had been done in europe before and that they had been encouraged to do by some of the european allies dug shallow holes and over the 1st half of june 1800 suffered 10000. 00 can nearly 10000. 00 casualties 800. 00 of those dead fighting in brutal hand to hand combat it with bayonets and so to to attack seemingly a touchstone of that a much more eans particularly would be really. Something that would be strongly question back ok once has henry thanks so much for that insight my pleasure nick thanks. In the country has now exceeded 4000000. 00 coronavirus cases is another bleak milestone for the country which has recorded nearly 2000000. 00 new infections this month alone india has the 3rd highest total worldwide behind the United States and brazil even so restrictions in india have been eased as the government pushes to open up the country again making sure new delhis metro system will be ready to reopen on monday like much of the country public transport has become one of the victims of this pandemic. A pandemic thats caused india to suffer its was ever economic downturn. Ashok womens business is one of millions thats been hit. We have to open up the economy we have to lift restrictions otherwise no walk is possible many jobs related to the delhi metro like rickshaws once the economy opens up will start doing more business a lot of. India is recording around 80000 new cases of covert 19 a day and has already passed 4000000 infections. No wonder theres concern that the relaxation of restrictions could be happening too quickly. Colleagues out of the public isnt very aware that corona virus hasnt been eliminated yet they think because the lockdowns been lifted the pandemics over you dont see much social distancing anywhere. The government says its doing all it can to keep india safe but with infection numbers still on the rise it will take more than a deep cleaning to stop the spread. Lets have a look at some of the other stories making news around the world now. Thousands of israelis are protesting outside Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu his residence in jerusalem to demand his resignation some protesters are carrying signs that read revolution and projected the words enough with you on a nearby wall anger over the governments handling of the proto virus crisis is fueling the demonstrations. German president frank faulter steinmeyer has said that germany should consider an official Memorial Ceremony for victims of covert 19 he said many relatives of people who died did not get to see their loved ones because of corn team restrictions germany has fared better than many nations in the pandemic but more than 9000 people have died theres likely no climate activists more famous than the great had to these days over the last 2 years as we just teenager has become the face of a Global Youth Movement to fight Climate Change now shes having her story told at the Venice Film Festival the highly anticipated documentary i have greater aims to provide a more complete picture of the activists and put the Climate Crisis back in the spotlight. And time to. Milk the whole world knows her name. The documentary about the climate activist showing out of competition at the Venice Film Festival. I am gretta by Nathan Grossman follows the young suite for one year. Its. Kind of also. So that people can identify more with what the Climate Crisis is understand its more than the i or. But i guess that is a good thing then it is also struggling to cope with the effects of Climate Change the city suffering from floods almost every year climate experts warn the city will at some point be submerged. Director Nathan Grossman whos visiting venice for the 1st time says a change of direction has long been needed and its such a beautiful city its such an heritage and i actually thought to myself when i saw the. This this from south 6 truck church that it would be such a such a sad thing to see a place like to skate devastated by a rise in sea level of course to a world that did not come to venice she joined the conversation by video link from high school the film is expected to be released internationally in november this year. And for more on this lets bring in scott roxboro from culture were standing by for us in venice scott is this film about berg one of the big talking points and how the festival hows it been received. Yeah definitely it was one of the most highly anticipated films before the festival and has been really well received i mean it is a fairly conventional documentary its not super cinematic or anything but its central figure is so compelling and and such a powerful presence on screen that she sort of carries the film along and you do really in this documentary get a bit to know get to know a bit about the personal data to back up we see her with her family we see her traveling particularly with her father whos sort of a comic relief figure in the documentary and i think this picture of a girl whos in some ways a very ordinary teenager makes her incredible accomplishments all the more more astounding i thought it was an incredibly powerful film and gives us a really new insight to this this this global icon. We hear theres been a lot of sort of political themes of the films that in the festival this year is the theme maybe the little bit less hollywood usual. Yeah definitely i mean that has to do as well because hollywood didnt send their films to venice this year because theyre holding them back because of the corona crisis so thats left some space for more Political Center of political documentaries like the great a to back documentary on but also political dramas i mean a couple of days ago i saw an incredible bosnian film called. I dida which is about the. Massacre of 1905 fold from the perspective of a u. N. Translator bosnian u. N. Translator and its a very wrong very very direct and powerful film that shows cinema doesnt have to be just entertaining it can also. Really. Historical witness and im really happy to see that it is this year has made space for these kinds of political messages and of course the Film Industry has been struggling like every other news through the coronavirus and is hoping for a restart at the at the festival does venice have anything special to offer in that regard. You know definitely definitely mean its a huge event for the Film Industry worldwide that venice is taking place is taking place in a physical form because film lives from a height and thats what provided thats what venice hopes provides to really restart the Film Industry worldwide ok to be in venice thanks for that.

Youre watching news live from berlin our documentary film series up next looking at africas looted art also dont forget you can stay up to date on our website dot com and follow us on twitter and instagram on the spicer thanks for watching. Im not laughing. Because sometimes i am but nice and loving with. Deep into german culture. Take this drama. Its all about who know im right so join me for me on the golf course. On legal come to. The 2nd season of only trying to steal about the environment so about society its still about us but all the planets on the brink who spoke to some of the leading experts in the fish. Hook up just to get a little only real sense of. Place. This week on world story the Jungle School for around the tanks is on its own kind of locked down. Protected wildlife has been found on restaurant menus. Lets start out in the United States and some cities black lives matter protesters are being intimidated by Trump Supporters now in Washington State a right wing militias patrolling the streets. Target training with the Armed CivilianGroup American wolf somewhere in the state of washington. This is one of peter dio says favorite rifles the notorious a k 47 or kalashnikov 4 originally made by the soviet army but now a weapon of choice to defend American Values as he says. Pretty good classic so they dont make them like that anymore right dias believes it takes armed men like him and his group to keep america the way it is. They fear freedom is under threat in the wake of the pandemic and countrywide protests but theyre also led by conspiracy theories. Their government is in the midst of a coup. There are certain members of our government who are actively working to change this government from what its designed to be the land of opportunity theyre trying to turn us into some sort of socialist government a new form of government humanitarianism where the group is on what they call a mission to portland in the past they have acted a self declared peace keepers tonight they want to get firsthand impressions off the Portland Protests that have been going on for more than 80 nights im for you the view of refuses to wear face masks protesters attacked them immediately i believe like some of it has to do with our president feels let that kind of behavior and that ideology just courage and i think that now they think that they have power. When they were here for black lives matter. And there all here for white supremacy. But diaz insists his group does not stand for wide supremacy if he wants the police to take tougher action against what he sees as a violent black lives matter movement. In my opinion when it gets to this type of. Mob mentality it should be dispersed thats where i stand with it. Police hanging back i understand that theyre worried about the numbers growing but i would handle a situation differently if i had the manpower and equipment. Critics say on civilian groups like american wolf are inside seeing violence just by their presence but in the endless day who had to retreat. For many years animal conservationists on the west indonesian island of sumatra have been caring for orangutans but here too the corona pandemic has put the Jungle School on lockdown. Humans have to keep their distance from a ring of things to even at lunch time. Because both species are risk of contracting be new coronavirus. These are rang a tangs are under lockdown and have had to stay in their cages for months this is done. You can train them. By the system. For it so we raise the risk for them. Right thank you. Very much. For this. So they can learn their meals are delivered wrapped in leaves so they have to figure out how to get the food useful practice for when theyre later released into the wild. Cages or disinfected twice a day. Hygiene is of crucial importance. The teams who care for the animals rotate every 3 weeks before they start work staff have their temperature taken another coronavirus precaution they shot the video for this report themselves long time d. N. A. Is 97 percent identical to the out of humans so theyre extremely susceptible to all our diseases especially those affecting the responder to retract. You know thats the main reason why weve imposed such a strict quarantine. Dont have ela has been reporting on this project for years 3 aim is to prepare a rang a tank for survival and their natural jungle habitat in the bucket to go pollute rainforest in central so much trust. Many were rescued as orphans often held captive as pets under terrible conditions they had forgotten or had never learned how to move through the tree tops forage for food and build nests their keepers at the Jungle School teach them all these skills usually out in the forest itself this was before the corona virus pandemic the lock down can only be relaxed once the pandemic has been contained this is not good for the animals their fitness deteriorates and they become bored even the target those that have already been set free currently lead better lives is still something. You should any around at things here catch the coronavirus they wont pass it on to other ones in the wild whats more they tend to be naturally self isolating creatures anyway and dont hang out in big groups the team faces the challenge of protecting their wards from possible infection while also training them for release. This video was shot a couple of years ago there is no guarantee that a selfsustaining population will emerge here again over the past half century 80 percent of the regions rain forests have been cut down to make way for vast plantations. On our last visit pay to park stressed the importance of saving the forest and teaching the orangutans survival skills. The number of covert 1000 cases among humans in indonesia continues to rise the project has a backup plan if the lockdown goes on for too long it will release its a wrong attains into the wild before theyve completed their schooling but will then provide them with longer term support out in the forest. In many african countries the trade in protected wildlife or its meat is strictly prohibited even so many produce markets are full of it one example can be found in the nigerian capital legos. It doesnt matter what day it is this market stays open shortly after the april lock down it was the 1st to come its customers back crocodiles penguins endangered species are openly sold here and vailable to anyone willing to pay the right price. This one is not business. For 30. 00 to 75. 00 a small penguin for 25. 00 bush meat is pricey demand is high. Its not just seen as a delicacy among wealthy nigerians the country is an emerging transit hub for the illegal wildlife trade tons of penguin scales are shipped to asia every year. We are meeting china do more ball at this market hes a wildlife activist who says nigerians place little value on their own white life they feel this is sweeter its tasty whatsoever but what they dont understand is that most of this animal that you have continued hunting over time i really do have seen in a number of very soon we will be gone today and lizard is on sale to do is trying to buy up animals that are still alive and save them before they are killed a race against the clock. If i dont buy them to for my purposes which is the feeling for which i believe people will come and buy them for food and if youve seen most of these animals theyre coming like this every day. They are lost in nigeria to protect the species we are showing the pictures to representative of a Government Agency that is supposed to enforce the law so why is this business floor xing them and not away at all. Try to just put the really know what is happening so you can i just pounce on people who have to kick the people 1st saw and concerns do continues in the kitchen and then of course then the 1st one to follow only to. China who says nigeria has a lot of problems and wildlife is not the priority. For 5 years time they have off mark has been living in germany as a syrian refugee hes managed to rescue his passion for playing the piano from the ruins of his hometown and bring it to his new home. His songs tell of pain and a lost homeland but also of hope 5 years ago pianist fled syria specifically the yarmouk refugee camp for palestinians. Back there he played music to counter the nightmare scene of bomb craters and ruined buildings and created beauty to fight despair. I was hungry or so and i dont can feed my family but i was giving playing piano we die anyway we will die from hunger in 56 days volume when i dont die play piano at least its held me i dont think music its feed people or help people really its held the mentality to see at least some of the whites like to place in the in all this got us through off in the other more calm. Yarmulkes a neighborhood of damascus it was under constant siege from i asked troops for years people there had no electricity no food or medicine and a ham played music. In the images of him playing when firing when a ham fled to germany in 2015 he was already a minor celebrity and was quickly offered a public stage but he felt uncomfortable with the attention. That. I am here famous playing piano the pianist off the arm or what we are a group of people i try to keep in connection with him its not easy and when somebody is still dying from hunger and you tell him look we speak about you hear what its done for me there you know this is this is not the easy here he is performing at a refugee shelter in berlin at a celebration marking 5 years since chancellor Angela Merkels we can do it statement in the meantime ahabs wife and sons have joined him and he can worked. Thanks concert people listen to him. When i go in on with this is story under the mumbai india remembering the war its heavy here and this is why i will stop the music because when i go on i just went will instead of the pianist and the trauma and all of that its its horrible image but the horrible images from a ham hocks mads past wont stop so easily hopefully he wont give up music it helps him during his darkest times and it helps him now allowing him to make a living and a new life in germany.
