I have to mean how it work. Im. Germany has criticized china for the dismissal of 4 prodemocracy opposition. Politicians in hong kongs parliament. Several of their fellow lawmakers also resigned in solidarity after the Chinese Parliament passed a law allowing the islands chief executive to expel legislators without going through the courts. Budging has defended the legislation as necessary to uphold the rule of law. Opponents say it spells the end of the territories fight for democratic rights. Who stand out way back. They were the last remaining prodemocracy lawmakers in hong kong. Now they are resigning in solidarity with their colleagues who were deemed threats to National Security by beijing. It is yet another blow for their prodemocracy movement or to go that they got all part of the decision made by the National Peoples congress today. It is extremely ridiculous, it shows that the Central Government has completely given up the basic law and given up one country 2 systems. Dennis kwok is one of the 4, expelled lawmakers. He told d. W. That despite the setback, they are not giving up. But i think he can still feel the passion, local community, the hearts of people, the aspirations or the rule of law and progress. I think that is not going to go begging, defended the new resolution, and denied its restricting Hong Kong Special freedoms. They were implemented in 1997 after the city was handed back to china from british rule. True or not. Tell me where you went, you think, turn to the shia who feel it is a necessary measure in order to maintain the rule of law in hong kong. And the Constitutional Order of the special autonomous region where yet they fight is rational and reasonable. And in line with the constitution and laws they recently moved to clamp down on opposition, voices in hong kong by imposing a National Security law. After months of antigovernment protests, hong kong semi autonomous status was originally guaranteed until 2047, but for some the end date has already arrived. Ok, lets take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. You know, many of protesters have taken to the streets for a 3rd day calling for the resignation of the Prime Minister. The demonstrations come after he gave up large parts of the disputed new going back region in a peace deal with azerbaijan. Political talks on libyas future have achieved a breakthrough.

The spanish migrants on tuesday, the European Commission has signed a deal to secure up to 300000000 doses of a coded 19 vaccine developed by germanys biotech and u. S. Pharmaceuticals. Giant pfizer. A vaccine is seen as the best chance to break the chain of coded 19 infections. Biotech says it could start shipping the vaccine to e. U. Countries by the end of the year. The e. U. Health commissioner says the e. U. Is sitting up a healthy union to improve the response and coordination of Member States in future health crises. Or to talk some more about the critical issue of Global Distribution were joined now by right, youll see a woman in miami, shes, a policy fellow at the center for Global Development in washington. D. C. , thanks for your time. You just published an article titled, vaccine breakthrough to refute news for the west, but in low and middle Income Countries, terms and conditions apply. What do you mean by that . Well, so its great to be with you tonight and thank you for the opportunity to talk. So what we mean is that theres several issues that we see in terms of how this vaccine news will impact low and middle Income Countries. So as you say, the European Union has in to deal for 300000000. 00 doses of this vaccine. The United States is entitle to up to 600000000. 00 doses total of this vaccine. Other wealthy countries have also deal to ensure their supply of this vaccine. But most lower middle Income Countries, with a couple of small exceptions, including a rule and close during the ecuador, have not, they do not have existing contracts to secure their supply, get this vaccine. And the companies are saying that there were seeing perhaps 1300000000. 00 doses, by the end of next year, we need to keep 2 doses for a vaccination course for it to be effective. So that 650000000 people, thats not enough for the entire world. And right now, a small number of countries are counting. The vast majority of that projected supply, rive. The World Health Organization for their part has a short day w. And then interview on monday to even distribution to include the developing world to do you see it that way . There may be a limited distribution to the developing world, but there are several issues for why this axiom is unlikely to be distributed in mass to the developing world. So 1st is the total supply of the vaccine. 1300000000. 00 doses is not enough to go around by my back of the, on the lookout and 6 wealthy country purchasers. And one of those is the air in cut union are, have accounted for over 1100000000 of those services. So theres just not that much left after those countries are accounted for. The other major problem is that even if lower middle Income Countries could get their hands on, the fact in this vaccine needs whats called an ultra cold chain. That means it needs to be stored at negative 70 or negative 80 degrees celsius. This requires specialized equipment, specialized transport, specialized distribution networks. So this just explore this have been in progress, have been planned for many months in europe and the United States. But the enterprise ensuring that alter cold chain in most low and middle Income Countries would be a nonstarter, except perhaps in some major cities. Virtual superman policy fellow at the center, for Global Development in washington. D. C. , thanks so much for your time. Thank you. Belgium is a country with one of the worlds highest coded 19 deaths writes a shopping craze. A new cases that has forced the government to impose a partial lockdown and is d. W. Correspond teri schultz reports from brussels. The rules being rigorously enforced tines up for corona virus. Rule breakers in belgium, the warnings didnt work to convince people to wear masks, limit gatherings, to 4 people and obey the evening curfew. So the next step is strict enforcement by police inspectors, like emily chua and kester. Theyve become the belgian authorities, last line of defense against the sky. High infection rate, their weapon, a 250 euro, fine people must go in for their orders are to accept a few excuses when they get 5 years through. Is that where he is most real person there . For a lot of money or something fierce. Look, everybody knows. Just say for everyone, its not for us to use able to eat or not know their business. Their business is to make sure that what the Prime Minister has called the last chance to get control of the virus isnt wasted. The fear of having it take its having a fine is going to stop some people from committing infractions. Of course, theyre going to be behaviors that we are forcing or indeed stopping to disease. Theres one area where officers are being more tolerant now than during the 1st wave of the pandemic. Thats for people who cant stay home because they dont have one. During the last lockdown, many of them received fines, plain clothes officer, chris thunder. How to is in a special police unit designed to help get people off the streets. He and his colleagues asked the corona patrols to take it easy on the homeless this time around. The ideal scenario that it would be that we have place and shelter for everybody. But were not in that situation for the moment. We have to be a little bit flexible for those people. More working like sense and sensible eyes, them to, to wear the mask, to keep their distance. But theyre part of the street. So theyre in the streets as a last resort to those who must or want to stay outside can now get a document to show the police and avoid a penalty or how to agrees that for the rest of the population. The tough approach is unfortunately necessary, but when you have people who doesnt want to listen and always make the main same mistake, same mistakes or mistakes, you have to give them a fine, you know, they have to feel it somewhere. Hundreds of those 250. 00 euro infractions are still being issued every week according to the brussels police. On this night, however, by the 10 pm curfew downtown is deserted. The officers say they hope this means people finally comprehend just how bad the coronas situation is. If everybody, so whats happening really, persons or in hospitals, maybe people will take it more seriously and respect the governments strategy seems to be working.

Marchers waved banners with anti l. G. B. T. Messages chanted slogans of the guard of honor and homeland, and called for more sovereignty for poland. I call on the government to start behaving like the government of an independent state to start behaving in a sovereign way to stop kneeling in front of the capitals of brussels, berlin, and washington. The holiday commemorates polish independence after world war one. But in recent years, massive marches organized by far right groups have frequently led to clashes with left wing groups and police. Organizers say the marches are a display of patriotism. But for many in the country, they are celebration of nationalism and far right extremism.

Visionary and a pragmatist, the diplomat who always gets straight to the point the good to institutes outgoing director close to tellem on the last cultural diplomatic starts nov 16th on d w. E. The palace of justice in nuremberg. After the 2nd world war, nearly 200 defendants were brought here to be held accountable for 12 years of dictatorship, military aggression, terror, and mass murder. At the heart of proceedings was the International Military tribunals which tried key war criminals from germany. The 4 victorious powers responded to the nazis once in a millennium crimes. With a once in a millennium trial, on nov 20th, 1945 some 20 high ranking nonsi leaders were brought by elevator to the court in room 600. The former rights mashal Hermann Goering willingly took on the role of most senior nazi he was followed by grand admiral karl dern. Its who hitler had appointed as president of the reich in his will. And rudolf hess, hitlers former deputy. The defendants never showed the slightest remorse. It was part of their stars, their pride to insist that they were right all the time and would do it again. They stood accused of conspiracy to carry out wars of aggression, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The defendants were ruthless ministers and fanatical ideologues, merciless military commanders and barbaric enforcers of hitlers maniacal will. They had come into the dark as if this was not a fair proceeding, as if they knew they were going to hang already and why go through others. But the thing that the allies were the most unfair about this occurred for the 1st time in history, an entire states leadership in the dark to the high ranking nazi officials and military leaders. It was a case of the winners putting the losers on trial. Its got to be domiciled for sure. At the time, i couldnt imagine that there were any reasonable grounds on which to accuse these and their later. Of course, i understood it better to shove them no movie torrijos, nation or alliance had ever attempted anything as bold or complex as what the allies were now doing with the surviving representatives of the 3rd reich. The prosecutors goal was nothing less than a global realignment brought about through the law. This was not a trial of germans alone. This was a trial for humanity. This was a trial does to prevent terror, me from raising its head again and the only place in the world. Of the nuremberg 945, the old Imperial City of the middle ages, lay in ruins. After nearly 6 years of war, nazi germany had capitulated unconditionally 60000000 people were dead. The cost of at all, fiddlers murderous quest for world domination. Germans who once zealously followed their fuehrer, now wanted to forget. The main concern for most people was overcoming hunger and hardship. They werent interested in the fate of the nancy leadership in may. When rice marshall, Hermann Goering, was taken prisoner in austria. It became clear that this war was not going to end the way those in the history books had. Gurning had been certain the americans would accept him as negotiator, but then he had to surrender his pistol and was arrested even then, going still believed the victorious allies couldnt govern germany without him. Being charged with a crime seemed completely out of the question. American reporters were allowed to interview goering. He used his skill in chan to set himself apart from the realities of the war. He claimed to have fallen out with hitler some time earlier. If hed known what was happening in the concentration camps. He said he would have taken vigorous action. He wanted to be now after him as the number one nazi which of course is interesting because hitler had selected durned thats right. I have but then its too bad success. Never really accepted that and you could sense sort of a feeling of upstaging. He was still a man who had perhaps chosen to be the number 2 man. And he should have been the right foot successor to i dont think he thought he was going into exile. I go to as a fan, she is for like napoleon, but not even his own people would accept the vein gurren as their new fuehrer in flensburg, in may. 945 grand, admiral calderon, its as hitler successor, appointed high profile. Nazis like armaments minister, albert speer, and high ranking military commanders like alfred your dil to his cabinet. They acted as if they govern Germany Holding daily meetings. But they had no power. The most important perpetrators were already dead. Both adult hitler and propaganda minister yourself gerbils had taken their own lives. In berlin, the russians displayed gerbils charred body with the help of a cyanide capsule. S. S. Leader Heinrich Himmler also evaded prosecution. He had tried in vain to join donators government disguised as a regular soldier. Himmler was picked up by a British Patrol before committing suicide. At the end of the war, the nazis monstrous crimes had come to light. When the americans liberated order of concentration camp into riga, they found few survivors. The conditions were indescribable. Along with the u. S. Troops, specialists came to the liberated camps to secure evidence and to arrest potential war criminals. My mind just refused to grasp what my eyes saw. I was coming in there to prove the crimes, and these people who are lying in the dirt mostly of couldnt tell if they were dead or alive if they stirred. It was unusual. These were objects and you cannot look upon them as human beings. They didnt look like human beings, many of them as flagrant as the nazis inhuman policies were. It was still an incredibly complicated task for investigators to bring those responsible to justice. The crime of genocide didnt exist and there was no Legal Mechanism to prosecute the internal affairs of a terrorist state. But the majority of germanys victims came from the occupied countries of europe. That gave the allies the opportunity to criminally, prosecute the 3rd reich the but it was to bring to trial those whom we had captured because he had committed crimes against allied soldiers in wartime. Clear violation of the rules of war or had been captured in concentration camps liberated by the allies. You had a perfect case. There was nothing more to be said to prove that these were enormous crimes which were being systematically committed by everyone connected with that camp. And thats what we did, and it didnt take very long. The idea for the nuremberg trials dates back to the summer of 1944. When u. S. President Franklin Delano roosevelt told officials in washington to devise strategies for bringing war criminals to justice for a long time, the allies were divided over the best way to punish those responsible. British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill thought hitlers in a circle should be shot without trial. At the terran conference, the allies didnt rule out executing 52100000, german war criminals. Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin raised the idea of an International Criminal trial. Finally, the Us Department of war developed the plan for the nuremberg trials. Nazi leaders would have to be charged as criminal conspirators who had together planned wars of aggression, then carried out countless crimes and atrocities. And that was a concept that we were charged days leading defenders with conspiring getting together and plotting to see is control of the German Government and subject in the german people to its dictatorial control. Making the german people themselves victims and eliminating freedom in germany, lemon. And democracy in establishing a ruthless dictatorship. And then having done that, thats the conspiracy then committing the crimes that they did in the name of the german people. There was skepticism in the halls of the us supreme court. It was feared the trials could become something of an internationally sanctioned lynch mob. Initially, federal judge Robert Jackson wasnt a supporter of the trials. But when asked by president harold truman, he willingly took on the task of organizing them. He saw it as a unique opportunity to develop new International Laws that would outlaw war once and for all. Jackson hears from all of his peers and friends and contacts in the government in the bar, even colleagues on the supreme court. And he encounters a lot of skepticism from all of those people, skepticism about the precedent and the law on which this task can occur. Skepticism about the time and difficulty of accomplishing this skepticism about the benefits at the end of the process. In terms of justice, in terms of deterrents. For jackson, the focus wasnt on the crime of the holocaust, but on the military, aggression of hitler and his accomplices. In his view, the attacks on poland and the soviet union made a mockery of the principle that so far in states have the right to wage war. The war making was not illegal justified in making. And jackson trial to this was well known that the time had come for the law to take a step forward. This was the right time and the right place for people to express the idea which was fundamental to jackson. That war making itself is the Supreme International crime and aggression. Aggressive war should be condemned as a crime. And the convention that we have an opportunity to bring to it. Just judge those who have thought it safe to wage aggressive and ruthless on may 23rd, 1945, the puppet government of grand admiral dern, its in flensburg, was dissolved, and its members arrested. The allies were compiling lists of wanted nazi figures. Gradually, the net was closing around the 3rd reich. Slade is nonsi. Germanys most prominent pretended to be a painter in bavaria. But he was recognised by chance by a us officer. Robert lined the head of the german labor front, had grown a beard to avoid detection, but that didnt get him very far. Be arrested. Nancy leaders were taken to the bad monday off internment camp in luxembourg. The americans compared the detainees in the former palace hotel to garbage. Calling it camp ash can kim and gurning was among 86, 3rd reich dignitaries, held prisoner and interrogated in bag monday off. He reportedly said that this might have been an appropriate way to treat what he called historical personages, but only he was really big enough to face judgment. It was a sentiment that hitlers other ministers, military and Party Leaders probably wouldnt have objected to. On june 22nd, investigators processed hammond during just like any other suspected criminal. In bag of the drug addicted ranks, mashal was made to stop using morphine and soon regain his old strength. Those from the former reich government of khaldoon. It didnt recognize his claim to leadership. American lead prosecutor, Robert Jackson completed his preparations in washington and then flew to london. Jackson wanted to convince the allies of his vision of an International Court while avoiding any appearance that the victors were abusing their power. Meanwhile, his team was sifting through evidence. He finds out that theres no case ready to go. And if theres really not very much evidence connected to individuals, its one thing to have a general sense of atrocities and misconduct at the governmental level. But a prosecutor needs individual specific items of evidence, witnesses, documents, etc. To go forward into court. Investigators in berlin were making progress on that front. They discovered that the germans had documented many details of their crimes. It seems they hadnt been able to destroy everything in the final stages of the war. Searching for incriminating documents among the ruins of the 3rd reichs capital required initiative. I was assigned the prosecution of arabs call them. That was my individual defender error scholar. It was a head of what is known as the r s a chair, the right seat. Right. How that agency included think the stoppel for example, and yes, they visited medical stop or offices and i found documents lying around on the floor saying this man should be executed by its color burned. I picked them up, dropped the floor, but it is true that there were many, many documents that were not destroyed that we obtained and were incriminating jurymen visit to hitlers chancellery. Even jackson himself found useful Material Files or correspondence that soviet forces had thoughtlessly left lying around during the capture of berlin. In london, the 4 victorious powers struggled to decide on a statute for the trials. The soviet delegation rejected a fundamental criminalise ation of wars of aggression, demanding the courts jurisdiction, be limited to german crimes. The involvement of stalins lawyers was becoming a handycam to the proceedings. The soviets themselves were clearly guilty of crimes against humanity and criminal military aggression. One aspect that was completely ignored in nuremberg was bombing campaigns. The british and americans knew all too well what they had done to german cities, including nuremberg, 90 percent of the city had been destroyed. Nevertheless, Robert Jackson was determined to hold the spectacular trials there. It was located in the American Occupation zone. Itd be known around the world as the site of hitlers party rallies, came and during had proclaimed the anti jewish nuremberg race laws there. In early july 945. 00, a delegation traveled to the city was devastated, totally devastated. The rubble was everywhere, buildings were down. Those that were standing, were gutted. The stench of bodies was in the air buried under the rubble. However, the palace of justice, i think of the land of franconia, was standing and was relatively undamaged but was chosen. Even though it was in the midst of considerable chaos, the courthouse was ideal. The adjacent prison could hold 1200 prisoners, added to this was the symbolic significance of the city for the nazis. For Robert Jackson, it was the scene of the crime. The horrors of nazi germany could end where they began. Within 3 months, room 600 was transformed into a perfect stage for the International Tribunal to create space needed for hundreds of spectators and journalists. The rear wall was removed. The allies agreed to initially tried 24 of the most prominent suspected war criminals. They were brought to nuremberg from various internment camps while detained. They were subject to strict regulations. Speaking was only permitted jury interrogations. There were also fears that fanatical nazis might attempt to free them. Back in bad mond, off hammond, during had already aligned most of his fellow prisoners to his defense strategy. We saw nothing and we knew nothing. The murdering of jews had been himmlers affair going, claimed, killing children. He said was unsportsmanlike and ungentlemanly. Lets make it brief. He added, i take responsibility for everything, the government has done. Robert jackson and his team had by now moved into offices in the palace of justice and were questioning the accused. It was a frustrating process. The nazi leaders put trade themselves as both ignorant and innocent. The prosecutors heard nothing that would be of use in the trial. The u. S. Lead prosecutor made an important decision. The whole trial would be conducted primarily with documents as evidence. Jacksons concern was that the defendants and during 1st among them would use it as a platform to stimulate some resurgence of naziism in germany. That this was a virus that was not dead, that the defeat and death of hitler did not mean forever the end of naziism. And that jackson was dealing with a very volatile, dangerous prospect of the nazi future. As he dealt with these defendants, scenes like these had not been forgotten in many riefenstahls propaganda film triumph of the will. Hitlers deputy rudolf hess, lauding the fuehrer as the savior of the german people. Did not then under, under your then oh god, i got it on the figure. If there was no god, i believe and was i in 1941 . Rudolf hess had spectacularly flown solo to scotland, apparently to negotiate peace with churchill on his own initiative. Hitler considered him insane. Has remained in british custody for the rest of the war. On october 8th, 1905, he was flown to new emberg and reunited with old friends. Prosecutor, john a man had the task of questioning has who seemed mentally disabled and wouldnt admit to remembering anything. Back in america, a man had made many a criminal talk but has, wouldnt cooperate. When he arrived in nuremberg, he said hed lost his memory and it was impossible to get him to remember anything which ones even had the idea to bring hess. And during together, has he already had hess upstairs in the interrogation room. And then we got going. And going with his old self, he came in and said, oh, you know, you dont remember me. I was the rice marshal. I was the commander in chief of the loofa. I was the interior minister of prussia and so on. And to all that has said, im very sorry, i dont remember. And i think we need one in the form, a nazi foreign minister joachim phone ribbentrop was accused of helping plan hitlers military aggression. He was also accused of involvement in war crimes and ordering deportations. He claimed not to have known about these things and took no responsibility. Ribbentrop was ambassador to britain until hitler made him foreign minister, because the furor appreciated his serve iowa b. D. s. Hitler enjoyed taking him on walks at the nazi retreat in oversells back. After the fall of the 3rd reich, ribbentrop spent weeks in hiding in hamburg. Before british investigators tracked him down by light oct, 1945, the list of the accused was complete. But not all were present in nuremberg. The whereabouts of hitlers secretary Martin Bormann were unclear. The industrialist gustaf croup phone bolen, on how bad was unfit for travel, much to the annoyance of lead prosecutor jackson, who wanted a member of the group family to stand trial. He tried to charge crips an alfred as a substitute, but the british stood in his way. The british officer gary neve handed over indictments in the cellblock. Ribbentrop, said the charges were directed against the wrong people. Rudolf hess wrote on his copy. I cannot remember. And going, wrote, the victor will always be the judge and the vanquished. The accused. For count dune, its the trial was just a whim of the americans. None of these charges affect me in the slightest. He said he names naval judge, auto crown, spooler. As his defense counsel for the book, sheffield, i was in hamburg and head of the Legal Department at the german mine clearance service. And i was called in to see the chief of staff and english captain to this. He told me hed received a telegram. Dennetts expected me to be prepared to defend him. And would i be willing to take that on . I immediately said, im ready. I didnt want to show the slightest hesitation on such an important question help. Shortly afterwards, i wrote a letter to my wife in bavaria. I knew shed be asking herself why i did it, because i always had the greatest reservations about done. It says political statements. I wrote to her that i did it because i wanted to maintain the loyalty that at that time had collapsed in many cases, to go to oversee the accused were able to choose their Legal Counsel from lists will make suggestions themselves. The lawyers could even be staunch nazis because the court wanted to avoid any accusations of unfairness in the proceedings. From the outset, the defendants complained about the inequality of resources. And next, at 1st, we had no employees at all. But about everyone had to look for employees, which wasnt easy, was the 1st you had to hire a secretary. And then we had no documents whatsoever. A lot was directly wed all just been in the wars, at least most of us. We had no files, no writing materials, nothing at all. So you started with the most primitive of things, getting paper and pencil and so on. We didnt have personal offices either. We sat together in a big whole world for the whole defense. Thats 22 lawyers. There was a single telephone and a long corridor and 2 to 4. So you can imagine what simple tools we were working with. You were palace of justice had become a high security facility. Access was only possible with a special pass in room 600. 00. The accused sat opposite the judges table. In between, there was space for the tables of the prosecutors from 4 nations. Among the accused was albert speer. Once hitlers favorite architect should be a had been minister of armaments and responsible for a program of slave labor should be and sought to set himself apart from the others, saying he believed the trial was necessary. As chief representative for deployment of labor for its zokol was in effect the slave driver. Hes knowledge presented the greatest danger to be as cunning defense for field marshal vilhelm keitel, the matter was black and white. For a soldier, orders are orders. Hed been a useful tool to hitler. His nickname was let keitel meaning a lackey. When the indictment was handed to and culture and brown or the head of himmlers rank security main office, he threw himself on to his coat and cried for his family. Youll use trying to describe the upcoming trial as a triumph for world jewry writer rebecca west would one day describe him as a dirty old man of the sort that gives trouble in parks. After surviving a Suicide Attempt hunts frank, the butcher of warsaw had become a catholic. He considered the tribunals a kind of last judgment willed by god. Robert lie went bizerk when he was presented with the indictment in the cellblock in nuremberg, he shouted. Why dont you stand us all up against the wall and shoot us lie had been head of the german labor front, the nazis puppet trade union, his nickname, reich strong, can bold the imperial drunkard. On the night of october 25th, 1945, all was quiet in block c. Of the nuremberg prison. The sleeping prisoners were constantly monitored by the gods. I was on duty that night was summoned by the guard. There was something going on and lies. And i had to get the guards, couldnt get into the cell, and i helped the cell went in and there was lie. He had strangled themself on the toilet by using the edge of a towel, wrapping it around his neck and hanging there over his standpipe with a flush button. He had ripped his underwear under the covers of his bed, even though a guard was watching him all the time to appease it would make a noise when gag. Then a little a strand of himself. He was short enough that he could do that. You have been taller, weve been very difficult. And that was the end of robert lines committed serious. After that incident, a god was permanently posted in front of each cell door. Cell lines were left on day and night. The accused were only allowed to sleep on their backs with their hands over the covers. Were able to enter sales within seconds. It was hoped these measures would prevent further suicides. Strict security measures will also imposed in the courthouse
