A massive fire has destroyed europes largest migrant camp arson is suspected at the morea camp on the greek island of lesbos the 12000. 00 migrants living there and now what will happen to them was responsible for that. And the diva almost streams from germanys fabled rhineland one of the worlds most valuable books and illuminated manuscript featuring poetry from the 14th century goes on display for the 1st time in years at an exhibition in minds. Im told me on laddie boy its good to have you with us u. S. President donald trump is under fire again for his handling of the coronavirus outbreak following revelations in a new explosive book in it veteran journalist bubba. Woodward says trump deliberately downplayed the danger posed by the virus in the 1st weeks of the pandemic at a News Conference the president defended his handling of the crisis trump said he was not lying to the public but that he did not want to cause more panic all than 189000 americans have died from the virus so far. The washington correspondent that isnt joins us from d. C. We hear trombone tape from march saying he understands how dangerous the corona virus is why was he saying the complete opposite to the American People have the time while as we heard he says he did not want to cause panic and in that tape though from mid march we hear him say quote i wanted to always play it down i still like playing it down because i dont want to create panic but the criticism here is that acting to prevent the spread is not the same as causing panic and he minimize the virus for weeks comparing it to the seasonal flu insisting it would disappear by summer and promising that the u. S. Had it under control and the woodward book reveals that these comments that trump was making publicly did not match what he privately understood to be true but he did recognize the deadly nature of the disease early on and now as you said more than 189000 americans have died due to covert 19 there are nearly 6 and a half 1000000 cases across the nation and the question remains could more lives have been saved if the president had warned american sooner would those who trust him have acted differently had he said what he knew instead of downplaying it like he did again as this news emerges how is it being received in america. When we do have some reaction from democratic president ial candidate joe biden he says what trump has done is disgusting he feels the president has lied to americans instead of protecting them he referred to it as a dereliction of duty and its a quote a life and death be trail of the American People these are certainly harsh words but democrats certainly feel the sentiments are warranted given what we now know what impact might these new revelations have at the ballot box if at all while nationally the most recent poll shows biden leading when it comes to who americans think would handle the pandemic better between him and trump and in recent days we have to remember trump has also been facing backlash for his alleged comments insulting Fallen Soldiers and wounded veterans and among military voters 5 leads there too and this instance by 4 Percentage Points and again we have to remember these polls were conducted before these stories came to light so how much will this actually move the needle what kind of impact will this have and as we all know there have been other ok jps where it seemed certain that it was all over for trump but he has kept his neck above water all along and so there will surely be polls in the coming weeks trying to pinpoint if he has lost any kind of support given these reports but we may not truly know until november ok you could get a son in washington d. C. Thank you for that update. What was europes largest migrant camp on tuesday night a fire broke out of them or if a salutes you on the greek island of less bows on wednesday night a 2nd fire broke out there are no reports of casualties from either incident and thousands of refugees have been taken to safety local officials suspect austin and say it may have been a protest against a coronavirus lockdown imposed earlier this week now a state of emergency is in effect on the entire island. More your lungs in ruins. It was a temporary home for over 12000. 00 migrants stuck on the greek island of lesbos. Human Rights Groups had long deplored conditions in the overcrowded camp which was operating at 4 times its intended capacity. Now politicians from around europe are calling on the blocks members to take action. This is. These are horrible pictures that we see in what has happened in. I think it is important now that we dont leave greece alone with this just today we have already offered the greek government every support we can the most important right now to protect people and to give them immediate shelter thanks to a Quick Reaction from the stuff in the camp from the greek police and fire brigade we had no course and no people in hospital and of course now the focus is to give shelter for all these people tonight. The fire was sparked overnight several shots went up in flames around the camp before the entire compound began to burn. Winds reaching up to 70 Kilometers Per Hour fanned the flames forcing thousands to flee. Fear out there is pretty far for. The inhabitants headed to nearby hills and woods others began walking to the islands capital might only need. Right police were deployed along the roads amid fears that the camps residents might spread the coronavirus across the island. Last week more he was placed under lockdown after 35 cases were detected in the camp. As days broke some residents returned to search for belongings among the remains of the fire has been put out but over 12000. 00 migrants could now be homeless once more in their lives they have nowhere to go. So whats next for moria is a question many have been posing for years. An answer from authorities has now become ever more urgent. As we head greece is calling on the European Union to help brussels correspondent we get told us about the role of the e. U. Parliament and what it can do protesting is the only thing the parliamentarians can do right now and immediate the 20 of them have stuff have spontaneously gathered here in front of the building of the European Parliament the European Parliament is only a code legislator and the whole migration policy process and the Member States refuse to accept any changes in gratian or asylum laws and they refuse of course to take migrants from greece in to distribute them to relocate them all over europe in this is the main problem right now. I was due to Political Correspondent and read it reporting from brussels. Lets have a look now at some other news stories making headlines around the world. The British Government has approved a series of measures aimed at containing a spike in corona virus infections the restrictions include a ban on social gatherings of more than 6 people in england beginning monday the authorities will also deploy marshals to ensure social distancing in city centers.

Noble prize winning author is a bit like see if said unknown people repeatedly rang her doorbell and attempted to enter her apartment despite the intimidation she called on president Alexander Lukashenko to engage in a dialogue with his critics who. Said he will not speak to the people taking to the streets but those on the streets are countryman the people are not those who follow those orders he doesnt decide who is the people and who isnt the people or those on the streets. I think save each is now the only high profile opposition figure still living as a free woman and bella bruce with the growing pressure on opposition figures comes after a month of unprecedented protests against those reelection which demonstrators say was rigged. Main opposition candidates that. Left velour recess to the vote physical pull and on wednesday where she met the countrys prime minister.

The funeral crown of empress of sway via the marriage certificate of. The exhibition reflects the importance of women in the middle ages as the pivot of court life. The woman is in charge she holds the court together even when the men are waging war and shes the guarantor of a courtly behavior that rises above desire and brutality.

Charlotte donny was born on april 2nd 1986 in belgrade yugoslavia it was the 1st of 3 children his father was a chemist his mother. Shall was just 5 years old when the german. Launched a series of an ass trying some on belgrade in 1941. At the once. Huge noise the house. Shaking my mad fell on me to protect me there steel door of their land their own was knocked out of its hinges. Fairlawn our house although we were not the. Target of any kind it fell. The 2nd floor 1st floor into the big basement several people very killed there. As the german invasion of you could be a continued the family made plans to leave anti semitic policies were making life increasingly difficult for. A lot danis decided to escape to budapest. Already boss theres pasted on in german in goat gothic lettuce 2 paragraphs early one all the jews have. To report at a certain day at a certain hour a certain place 2nd paragraph jews therefore we will not obey the order this will be solved plainly. By now jews were being arrested throughout the region there were executions. My family did not feel any safer in budapest. My parents decided to try to hide the children and. I was brought to a monastery we walked to a gate my father kissed me embraced me here rang the bell a priest arrived. My father thought a very broad the kid the priest did not ask any any any questions let me in close the door behind me. Therefore there and there for my contact with my family. And never head is such a trauma in my life as during my a stay there were an aussie they did not do me any air anywhere a single wrong. A field fear of fever for my life. I feel as a year or the child that i would be the tech to them ere a jew and their b. Cared. And them bombs began to fall. Fortunately for me my mother did not sink a logical way and my mother sold it if bombs fall and they might kill me its better to die together and convince my father to take me out of them or lastly. When and eat and rescue committee negotiated to save transport of hunger in jews out of the country the law danny family was on the list of passengers. They were sent to travel by train to switzerland and then emigrate to palestine at the german as as diverted the train. And took the hundreds of people on board directly to beckon. To the compound as an Exchange Camp jews were held for ransom either in return for hard currency for german civilians in town and in other countries. Garion jews were put in barrack 11. As the end of the war approached the conditions in back and bounce and became more and more dire. I know that i was hungry all the time my man mother told my wife the reply i am always extremely hungry here. The real estate in the in the bags in the whole 700 and the bank bets one above the others the bank bets it was called. I did member the main activity was in the bed we had to stand in 5 rows of 5 in front of the back to be counted and the counting was irrespective of whether it was called or weened or rain for hours and i am saying cynically those s. S. Guards had never excelled in at it methinks the number did not fit what sort of back then they started recounting and the recounting so this is a parents where for many hours. Many hours. Life in the camp was captured in drawings by bakken belsen in mines or their descendants danny has collected many. I remember there were 2 fences an order than a barbed wire fence and then the electric fence and there was a distance of. Maybe city for meters in between them and remember seeing. Tomato starting to grow and getting there and there there and my eyes went out of their holes is just for the desire for those the maters which i was never able to get then and maybe therefore i left the. So so much mate of us. Today only the outline of american love and still visible back in belsen was not an extermination camp boss more than 50000 people dying down most of them during the final months of war. And then they put all. Food in such be containers theres a kind of a soap rig made off is something that is usually they gave them to an emeritus it was all for it and dries wreak if youve got the bread. When british troops liberated the camp on april the 15th 945. 00 they found more than 10000. 00 and buried corpses lying around the compound. Back in tel aviv its just before 4 in the morning danny has covered 12 kilometers time for some refreshment. But the. Police have started setting up security barriers along the course they arent taking any chances with public safety. Or. An over Central Station today in december 944 the humanitarian transport was finally allowed to take the hunger in jews in bag and belsen to switzerland. The lowdown is again in a camp for 6 months emaciated but in otherwise fairly good elf they boarded the train hoping it would finally take them to freedom. But today. Was the 1st such acts and the acts of it or the it was a lot in the same type of the day and for any amount of vitriol that i 80 never go a small. Very very good. To very good. With around 1300 people on board the train was stopped repeatedly as it crossed through germany a chance of an answer is to demand more money. The whole or if you are indeed get to free the 1st with 7 bit if was not clear that the in the view. Then in the middle of the night the train arrived at the swiss border and stopped yet again. And then again uniformed. Persons got into the thing. And they remember this it was strange for me they did most of. The spoke politely then with them caves also some remailer and gave i dont remember where there through every board there but the priest of the chief of the smaller. Off shore corps and the cheers then go through a small field of shocker that. I saw that we had after part of that is. Shallow danny was 80 years old at the time. He was one of more than 300 children who were brought to safety on the train. In the army months of 945 more than 35000 prisoners in back and bounce and died of disease or starvation. After the british liberated the camp many were buried in mass graves. One of the victims was 15 year old and frank whose daria for years in hiding became famous throughout the world. Theyre lucky that there is no question about it we had the luck or for the getting out of the hell of the hail the most likely if we wouldnt have been. Sent out from there most likely to have it. Back in tel aviv its just passed by the sun is rising over the city of. Charlotte danny is it 16 kilometers east holding his pace about 70 monitors an hour. After the live danny family arrived in switzerland they were housed in one of the many hotels that had been left empty joining the war. The rooms were crowded and there was no heat but the new residents were safe and dannys parents wrote to relatives telling them its a fine. First time in my life i remember having a heck of a happy childhood was there. Danny soon returned to school. The family began to recover from their ordeal. And their minds slowly started returning to normal. They sent me to solfeggio lessons which i did not play. In and. Their place of the music school was on the top of the hill and the main street and people of a wall walking going up and i walked up and in my mind i competed with them nobody knew that there was i thought i had to catch everybody in front of me i was maybe 10 years old and in my mind i compete in walking up a few 100 metres quite a steep steep hill and there was a very very happy that i was mad fast there then their best though their grown up their persons walking up it was a nice game for myself or only only i was involved nor would they know that is there so maybe this made me feel. Its now midmorning. All of the marathon event so well on the way down. That you are danny is making his way through the heart of tel aviv. Today after our visit to 130. 00 water hole youre feeling. This after 31. But what about the other acts that way i fear that. We may get to the finish line so. Video may make it thought. That a. Dilettante family soon moved from switzerland back to belgrade but they didnt feel comfortable that anti semitism was still rife so in 1988 they emigrated to israel where danny finished high school. And from 9542956 completed his military service. Later he fought in the 1967 israeli war. And not regularly when the head free time during their military service saw i was over there a grown up grown up person. To train for they march just in he said. It was a friend who suggested that danny take part in a race. He did and defeated the current champion in 1968 he moved to the u. S. To work on a doctoral degree at Columbia University that he met other competitive athletes some had even competed in the olympics he decided to take up a rigorous training program. He also started a family with his wife shana. They had a daughter done it.
