A whole policy over there was also locked down but lets listen to some of the people ive been talking to earlier i think its going to be hard after one lock down i think most people are just kind of tired of it they see it as mainly political more than Public Health issue. And especially now with the whole days it seems that you know just a lot more people are not going to. Not going to follow the rules. Which are here to be rude and everybodys and rage and theres a sense of confusion i feel it is a mistake it wasnt prepared it was no exit strategy from the last look down and now we enter another cycle of home im a man and i think its unnecessary mostly because a lot of loopholes not to keep. And i dont know if my daughter will be allowed to work or my husband i dont know whats. Open borders not all but. Ok so if theres anger at the government we could hear that and this rejection of the measure is really are people going to comply you think. Well thats a big question i mean i took a couple people and you heard it yourself now some people you know saying well we dont know really what you know theres a big confusion about the rules of Office Lockdown just this morning actually the government has revised some of their restrictions now people can venture out up to one kilometer from their home instead of 500 meters from their home so this changes constantly and theres a bit of confusion as well what is allowed what does not allow things might change and people have been saying you know because its just a year and other holidays coming up its where you see people come together friends and family so there will probably be some of said they will see their friends and of course also the local businesses Small Businesses theyre very unhappy about this local not locked down the economy has not really recovered from all of this from the last leaped and so we have to wait and see what happens on the extreme of that and there was a thank you to.

We currently write anymore she is going because again the connection problem is so many problems after a long gap Indian Government is now going to plan which schools to partially reopen from september 21st. But only for Seniors Students who need guidance from teachers and on a completely one to lead basis many schools are still in the process of finalizing their reopening strategies and the Safety Measures that they will be taking which include not allowing students to use public transport cutting down on the school time reduced classrooms trends and multiple entry and exit points among other regular measures some schools have started giving orientation classes to the students on the need to follow it didnt turn to the classroom. But at a time when the public users in the country are skyrocketing this move is proving to be a challenge for schools there remember some students more north before this thing and reconnoitre keep our eyes on them or look at them so that this is a tell and then another oh yes there is are these so expensive and.

Were reporting that now lets take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world taiwan says 18 Chinese Air Force jets crossed the middle line of the Taiwan Strait after beijing come from that have begun live fire military drills near the strait who came a day after a u. S. Official visited tarde paid for talks china denounced the talks as quote collusion. Tropical storm noel has made landfall in vietnam killing at least one person according to state media the storm hit the east coast before being later downgraded to a low pressure system it numbs Weather Agency wanted heavy rains could still trigger floods and landslides. Bruce president martin the charter faces an Impeachment Vote amid corruption allegations though lawmakers short of the 2 thirds majority required to move him from office the timing of the vote has been criticized its true among the countries its hardest by the pandemic. Positionally those red lana. Demanded that her countrys government end violence against protesters and set up new elections 2nd oscar had delivered a speech to the United NationsHuman Rights Council which is holding an urgent debate on the situation and will a rose she calls for an International Monitoring mission to document atrocities committed since the disputed president ial election in august that comes as one time president of his own a little shank or threaten to close the countrys borders saying that the International Community was behind the protest movement all this stuff. For you we can now speak to our special on the on human rights and below roofs for the u. N. Refugee agency also took part in todays debate thank you for joining us on the news in that debate you warned of another iron curtain coming down in europe is this a real threat. I crawled on the International Community not to let another irony court curse him fall onto the european continent that was inspired to play the announcements made yesterday made by mr lucas shimko. His intention to to close selectively close belaruss murders not only with you train your poland and ukraine and of course this is a desperate reaction on his side and my point was that in spite of the border closures if they become effect will International Scrutiny will not stop because the crimes committed by the authorities over the past 5 weeks or are not the best you can Share InterestsNational Community you are speech and also opposition it is a video appeal with people interrupted about objections from other un Member States including better rules and russia how will you achieve consensus and that for. Well im not a diplomat im an external expert and the points of order that were raised by dollars russia china havent its really concerns the whether this kind of urgent debate. Is the room for representatives from other organizations then states for example of a challenge to even the statements delivered by the deputy high commissioner on human rights and as an independent experts i am not involved in overeem negotiations regarding my own mandate or the possibility presents its by. Germany in the name of the e. U. Who are voting putting to the vote today probably a resolution demanding that the high commissioner. Starts since and investigation into allegations of serious crimes just torture that we have reporting over the past. I want to come back to something that you said earlier that some argue that what you call Human Rights Violations are internal affairs off the roofs and nobody elses business so what do you say to that. Well its true this is no. Conflict i would say in the u. N. And thats again the Human Rights Council some consider that if human rights are at domestic affair and where her International Attention are met amounts to in 6 year ends however based on the International Conventions the human rights are indeed of them simply the whole International Community and since the crimes we are talking about are extremely serious were talking about torture case thats at least 500. 00 cases were reported to us this is already goes beyond the sovereignty of the states because it has tortured they they struck the International Community and they request some reaction or action because there is support for an escalation of violence which could destabilize International Security and security so what are you calling for them what can the International Community actually do sanctions. Again this is not among my prerogative as a special couple the u. N. Human Rights Council i call them for dialogue oeuvre 1st and foremost serve the authorities who i think they know do not recognise my mandate sure agree to a dialogue with representatives of the opposition and Civil Society and from what i can see going on now thats the diplomatic level i believe that a dialogue such as that when we choose cuts today at the Human Rights Council is necessary also because there are competing and irreconcilable narratives that are being. Launched and eventually occupying now the majestic field and im talking about this information we cannot deny the reality of the crimes committed we have all we have seen but most i mean there were videos and photos the these testimonies are about very serious crimes so we cannot pretend that they have and or that its only a domestic affair. States t. V. Or Russian Media are claiming. I mean special rapa turn the situation of human rights a bill or rules for the un h c r thank you but thanks. To greece now as some 5000 migrants have moved into new temporary camp on the island of less boss than among the 13000 migrants sleeping on the open since fires destroyed the islands overcrowded morea migrant count police are accompanying those willing to go to the new camps but so far the majority of people remain outside the new facility many say they fear getting stuck in the new camp for years to come. But he. Is all as boss in greece hes met one man who has set up a makeshift shift soup kitchen in the wake of the more to show solidarity with thousands of people that are left without a shelter. Its 2 hours until lunch time cost us policeman open most and his team have to hurry their cooking for about 2000 people today outdoors and with the most basic equipment not an easy task. But its wonderful no i often have difficulties with the high winds and we need more helpers to come here to join us for today he thought aki is on the menu greek noodles with vegetables the meals are provided by a volunteer organization they set up his mobile kitchen in the ruins of moria just days after a fire obliterated europes largest refugee camp this place used to be somebodys home over here a gas bottle next to a kitchen utensils people used to cook here next to it another home with Water Bottles completely destroyed by the fire more a camp was home to 13000 People Living here in crowds unbearable conditions sound. Is well aware of the extent of this catastrophe that he founded his organization during the financial crisis when he and many other people in greece lost almost everything 1st began cooking for people on the streets of athens and when the refugee crisis hit the greek islands in 2015 they got involved here and lesbos since then their mission hasnt changed. At all but i met me but i think it will not we decided to come here firstly because we have an urgent need for food and secondly to calm the people down take some of their anxiety away and show them that we are with them to show that not all people are fascist or racist and that we care for the people next to us but if they dont feel its not about much different. Volunteers and refugees cook and eat together trying to provide a sense of Community Among people who are left with nothing but one another. Very clear on this survey wasnt the same situation as the others are in now i understand. Let me share those you know with the. Most former camp residents have been sleeping here out in the open on the streets of less boss. Those Security Forces started to move people to a new provisional camp the majority of refugees and migrants refused to go there fearing conditions might soon become as unbearable as they were and moria. Girdling aid organizations are warning that the situation among those displaced by the fire continues to deteriorate at a rapid pace theyre basically lacking the same things as they were lacking already 5 years ago only worse meaning that the access of food is even worse than before the access of clean water is worse than before the axis of health care is even worse than before meaning that everything that we saw that was bad before is worse now during his time on the island cost us political nobilis has noticed any improvements either he says its frustrating but he can only hope for some positive changes just like the people stuck here. How they live in the middle of if they dont have the hope they will die here that all they have left is hope to make a new beginning for themselves and let their children live a better life. Finally lunch is ready and the head chef doesnt miss out on the opportunity to serve this has been an intense experience for him but today will dishing out meal number 1500 he says hes still on top of his. Own recording i have a lot a lot more to do we have barely even begun to feel that. His volunteers are determined to continue as long as needed serving food and share of solidarity one spoon at a time that refers. To football now its Opening Night for the bundesliga season here in germany champions by munich hosting so will be no. Fans in attendance after a last minute decision to keep stadiums empty due to rising corona virus infection rates in the area players have become accustomed to whats johns call ghost games also accustomed to buy and coming out on top. Its no secret fire in munich dominate the bundesliga it was written all over their shirts at the end of last season after they made it a record 8 titles in a row 30 overall. The last time a team other than byron won the bundesliga was years back wait for it 2012 that was dortmund but last season was exceptional after biron signed the league title they sealed the german cup and delivered the Champions League for their 2nd trouble in 7 years repeating the trouble especially the Champions League part comes with uncertainty but that cant be said of the bundesliga. Few experts can see a champion this season that doesnt start with fire and end in. Its size not to much of the although i think it certainly distinguishes the team that when they have Great Success they want to prove themselves 1st and no matter what the squad looks like ultimately its always a duty for byron munich in the end to become champions on. The firing squad will look different in the new season. Gone are midfielder philip continuo and forward even paris it both played back up rules however what will really hurt the loss of midfielder tiago to liverpool but former Manchester City forward le roy sunday is now on board so that should ease the pain of bit. Its another season another reason for the rest of the bundesliga to try to break barnes dominance but based on last season not to mention the 7 before byron munich will pick up just about where they left off. Talking for g. W. Spodes joins me in the studio now a duty to become champions if they accepted that and that sound bite theyve been champions for 8 seasons now is nobody to stop. Stop to buy in munich yes yeah i mean under more competitive circumstances i wish we could have the question would have been who would win the one to see who but its i mean youve been here before what title number 8 and they could possibly now go on to win title number 9 and its just even as a sports journalist it is getting kind of tiring to always year in year out here the same question who can stop by and who can stop by and we have that when they wanted number 45678 well whats the answer seems to me that no one can and just the past 2 seasons when things did get slightly more competitive. Outcome still the same buy on when the spike having having struggled in the season and way you did have a paternity test for other teams to perhaps 6 of us yeah its been a lot more competitive but again outcome still the same that something still has you know i think most teams so need to work on the outcome but not to rule out any of the any of the other teams like say for example go out mind i still think they have a fair shot but of course consistency is key and dortmund especially theyve been theyve now even said that we are serious title contenders we want this but it must also be a burden for them to be carrying around on their shoulders year in and year out you know they are supposed to be the team that is you know meant to break by and monopoly but they just have failed at it and thats the situation in germany. European level. To defend the Champions League so at least thats the good news at the european level the titles are a lot more difficult to defend so were not likely any time soon going to see you know a buy in dominance and in general theres theres a saying that says that winning the Champions League is extremely difficult and keeping it is even harder and even some of the biggest clubs in the history of the modern era have not been able to manage to repeat it but that said in general even with by and munich this is so much competition the quality of the opponents is are not high i dont think you know it would be that easy defending it and also because you have so many competitions that by and has to focus on you have the german copy of the business need so it be a lot more difficult so today. Host show in front of no friends when will the fans come back yeah so we have to keep in mind that this is a regional decision so although the german politicians they have decided that. Each stadium you can need to allow up to 20 percent of the stadiums capacity to be filled with. But the final decision. Rests with the local authorities and what happened is that because in munich in by and in that region of germany the corona rates just recently went up so thats why we have this last minute decision but of course that differs from region to region and as of now theres been no other cancellation when it comes to letting fans into the stadiums. Sports thank you. Also tennis u. S. Open champion. Pulled out of the french open due to a hamstring injury. Her 3rd grand slam title last week in new york the 22 year old said the 2 tournament are too close together on the injury means the she wont have time to prepare for the move from hot coals to clay.

Live from the berlin thats it from me in the news team for now but stay tuned for to the point with table debate on china and its relationship to the euro were back for more news at the top of the hour as for me and the stream. Get. To the point of strong opinions clear positions of International Perspective such. Things are getting increasingly strange between the e. U. And china of the 2 sides have been hoping to sign a landmark investment deal in reality though theyre hardly on speaking terms why find out on to the point shortly. To the point of the next book on d w. In good shape dotted straight am and one thing is clear its all about water after all water is the basis of all life on earth. And theres a great deal in our body. We cant live without it. So what the slaughter mean for our health so yes yes. Im 60 minutes d. W. Like. Oh. My god says i must be food for the russians so. Bad im trying to run steve. So many different walks of life. Some are pumping and honestly trying to get all of them come straight from the heart the 1st seal you can hold in the morning delicious the marsh 2 inches. From the lips of the log to their. Final resting place the russians on g. W. Documentary. People lines of communication open keep trading on change will come for decades and that was the mantra in relations between europe and china but that softly softly approach is being replaced by a 20 of political cultures in the midst of the corona pandemic beijing has been snapping up floundering European Companies clamping down on democracy in hong kong and imposing Surveillance Systems on its own citizens europe and china are apparently drifting further apart while the u. S. And beijing fight out a bitter trade war here on to the point we are not all rival how dangerous is china. Thanks so very much for joining us here on to the point where my studio guests are political scientist didi kirsten tuc low who believes that china will do away with liberal democracy if the west allow it was to also with us is journalist felix levy who argues that europe must be hard and firm in its dealings with the chinese leadership just like the chinese themselves and a warm welcome to 2 over alexander girl who say as long as there are a concentration camps in china there can never be normal relations with that country. Thank you all 3 for those initial comments phillips id like to begin with you it has not been a good week for already troubled relations between the e. U. And china one Senior Member of the European Parliament a green member of the Parliament Said those relations are now as bad as its any time in recent decades do you agree. Well the summit didnt show this because i mean it was a very short summit it was only. Between the europeans chinese china and merkel as the president came up and also on. The line and if youd like business as usual but i must agree on the position im not sure if its a good sign because there are a lot of topics which should have been talked about and should have negotiated much harder and it seems like this didnt happen so it is a bad sign ok tedi just an initial comment from you europe for a long time believed in hopes that if there were if we kept talking to each other then there would that would lead to peace and prosperity and more understanding it hasnt happened that way its all has it no it hasnt because the realities of power are much tougher than that unfortunately and i think the challenge of dealing with a communist party such as the chinese one which is really forged in huge amount of conflict and underground activity as well really almost i dont want to say beyond the capacities of liberal democracies but i think a certain stretch our capacities to the very limit. Xander lets bring you in in the last year or 2 the e. U. Has gone over to describing china as a systemic rival was not mean well i mean china has deployed its own ideas in International Institutions for instance and aid i did nations where they propagate their own idea of human rights which is basically one which is without any civic rights as both like social rights you say like you give do you want something to eat and that you should be thankful for so china has been undermining the liberal institutions not trying to abolish them but like to be like changing the game the games of the rules of the game you know you know because and just to give us an idea about on top of all the things that you talk about already what will role does the corona pandemic play in all this. You know code 19 wherever it came from. In china as it emerged there really has obviously brought things into very sharp focus and i think is being used as an opportunity by beijing to buy into europe or to try to bind your very closely to china along the lines of you know heres a crisis we must pull together our interests of the same and then the the the pushbutton points come the talking points you know health is going to argue against Health Cooperation multilateralism whos going to argue against cooperation multilateralism cant do that without seeming really kind of unpleasant and nasty and of course this is what donald trump is in some ways doing and look what the reaction is in europe but you know the again the realities of the power realities behind this argument coming out of beijing are such that i think that we really need to question ourselves much more strongly about how were reacting before the americans meanwhile my pump air has said theres been an awakening because of corona and because of chinas aggression interest in trade on diplomacy what i think trust has plummeted people are horrified and no no no wonder. Its you know its its a cliche say things are complicated but that they are quite complicated with china i think so so weve weve got a lot of talking and walking out to do going forward. If the very very light chief role is so far has been changed through trade him out no longer applies what is the new life motif what is a new watch word for where we are now. I feel like. At this point we have to sort out our general guidelines of policies with china as in like the one china policy is obsolete because the peoples republic is threatening taiwan which is like not part of the one china deal we have seen what happened in hong kong which is also like a breaking on International ContractLike International law we see like the horrendous things that happened in changing and now to cracking down on in among golyer so literally as. I hope agreeing that genocide is not an opinion its just literally before we talk about trade and the modalities of trade its just literally the dog what country do you want to be china. Economy has changed the relationship. Between europe especially germany and china has changed and i sometimes doubt the people here in germany especially the government if they have realized how much it has changed i mean china is not to longer just pick huge market where you can sell german machines but china china has become a rival on a lot of terms and. The difference is that behind Chinese Companies theres always the strong communist party and the strong communist government and sometimes i have a feeling that here people for the things ok we are business were on the same level were not they have a very powerful government behind it and here a lot of German Companies or European Companies they dont have a lets just force one short report because there is one thing thats certain theres massive mistrust between the e. U. And china certainly around europe theres a lot of concern a lot of anger of whats been seeing is bargain hunting chinese investors taking advantage of the corona pandemic to snap up struggling companies is one example from germany that will talk. Kitchens made in germany such as those from pog in poll are among the best in the world after 120 years of Company History the German Kitchen manufacturer is now in chinese. In order to secure long term survival at the hereford facility it was necessary over the last few months to initiate the sales process the pen demick was certainly a factor that moved us to expedite this process. China is investing billions are around the world but there is a fear that chinese corporations are taking over companies on such a large scale for a very specific reason that is what chinese want to be Global Leaders in important emerging markets within a few years to achieve this the need for know how which they are buying with state support and that is of course part of the distortion of the market which is not ok you know what minister what can europe do about this. So that we all want talking about the economy again and. Something that she wants to go to to express very important yeah i mean i suppose one looks at these stories about public pool for example or med which is another company that makes medical ventilators that was bought by chinese interests i think in march this year in the you know its a covert 1000 crisis in europe and. You sort of ask yourself you know its like these 2. System value systems as they are the democratic one and this this is terry and want to put it politely i think you know i really have somehow thought that they were paying the same game but theyre not paying the same game to the one side is playing tennis of a sides playing badminton how is that going to work you know that there are these the fundamentalists agreements just arent there about about a lot of issues and i think that you know in we have fought for many years now for decades now with china that. Somehow you know capitalism would win the day and and china would change in fact china is changing us i see that all the time in the discourse in the in the narrative about about how things are here and you know i think we really need also need to question our assumptions that money somehow has has morality embedded into it i dont think money i. E. Trade or capitalism necessarily has morality i think its about making money and i think that its the job of politics politicians Civil Society and other people to insist on the right parameters within which relations and also trade can take place so that on the view of those who feel like i would trade agreements now have a different nature as they used to have like lets say 30 years ago its about Environmental Issues its about rights so does a well implemented now in trade agreements the European Union forces and that is also put it puts you on clash with china i remember colombia and chile where they had 4 try to build some Infrastructure Projects and then the governments there said well then you employ all that because then they said no we bring our own and then of course then its not a Business Model if you have to implement about us rights Environmental Issues so you and the chinese didnt have a Business Case anymore so i feel like we have the Human Rights Violations big time what i said before but on top of that was that the nature of our trade agreements is different than it used to be 40 years ago. You have to put things in place i mean generally still is a much bigger investor in china than vice versa so a very not more not necessarily bad when. Nice Companies Invest in little German Companies help them because a lot of these. Companies they have problems to find successors and so its not necessarily bad the problem is when china is trying to do the investing in in the help with the help of the government in the Strategic Companies like im talking about infrastructure and im talking about 5 g. Network which is now also very important and i think this is the problem that the europeans and especially germany doesnt half a dozen recognize that there is a strategy behind and they just let it happen this is a problem so i think this term its the German Government or the europeans who have to make their homework and put borders and say ok there are Certain Companies which are not for sale think thats right i mean weve europe has really been stupendously in many ways i think a part of that is a normative power of European Values self belief economic systems the kind of capitalism that we have had in europe and in the United States we sort of had again had this kind of moral power to change other people we put those terms into the trade agreements youre quite right and then itll change everything well no because thats not what you know other government or other systems want they dont want those parts of the agreements really it seems to me they will sign it to make the deal go but they will then try and work against it and my concern with china as well is that even if. You know it was his comprehensive agreement on investment even if something is reached which im highly skeptical about is going to happen this year is there also you know anything that does happen is going to be tiny its going to be reduced or we saw a sign of that with the german wine and beer and they can deal etc you know peanuts right now yeah drinks peanuts right. So so you know again i think that i mean i think the whole trade thing is complex etc but we do need to ask ourselves what were doing and whether we have just convinced ourselves that were completely right about a lot of stuff which i think we are right things to be honest especially human rights area but whether or not that is actually going to be enough to deal with china to do basic assumption is and you alluded to that a few times that is like once you have trade going on it would also automatically somewhat open up societies and to disclose and societies and thats actually true like in hong kong where you were when you were still allowed to do that it was flourishing in democratic ways taiwan is a fully functioning democracy so only if autocrats like she put pressure on these countries use technological means they can. Oppress the sort of Democratic Movement but the basic assumption that we had in the favor which is not only the best but its also taiwan japan south korea as its extending over the whole globe with a just a vest on fantasy of idea where you can moan you like a set of values wherever you can you want democracy and thats actually also the threat to xi jinping that like in hong kong and taiwan people just choose Something Different than his aquatic system which he sells to the world as the inherent chinese model of governance. Our central question here on the show today were going to address it where i havent put it yet is is trying or a poet no or a rival how do you how do you see that in the context of what youve just been saying about these competing systems and under the leadership of seizing ping china has become an adversary of the rest of the world and not nowadays its a little like an enemy so they year really and i dont know cirie and an enemy of the rest of the world of. The biggest like the ideas like to undermine all the global institutions what happened with the World Health Organization is horrendous and to exclude taiwan on from this from distanced from this entity its horrendous and its part of a of an ethnic sort of chauvinism slash racism sort of idea that came into being through pings reign where he like i mean its china was not certainly not a free country before but it has been going down that alley of more openness but she reverted the policies of openness to an extent of china before 2013 and china now is just like not recognize it and she wants to scrap entirely liberal democracy i have a few things he does want to and i think that it is a difference i mean of course china has in the last 7 decades has been an author tearing communist country but in the eightys in the ninetys and even in the beginning of 2002 until 2010 everyone or a lot of people had the few
