The meeting came just hours after a series of blasts incompetent, killed several people. The socalled Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attacks. This is d. W. News from berlin. Theres more on our website, w dot com. This week on world story. Its another Strict Lockdown in france, fighting indifference to corona in turkey. But our journey begins in the usa, the city of el paso, texas, is one of the countrys carona hot spots stretching hospitals and Funeral Homes there to their limits. At basle is on the border with mexico, but no one is talking about the wall anymore. The pandemic is raging here. Numbers are soaring. Right now we have about 241 in peace and cases. Now to contrast with about 45 days ago, we only had 30. But a lot of those people that you see going into these tents will, i mean they will wind up inside our hospital, have authorities are already arranging to move patients to other cities. If the hospitals become overwhelmed, planning for months of strain, we have to make sure that we are ready for this winter. Not only here in el paso, but also around the country. Resources are finite. There is already a backlog in dealing with the dead. Referee generated more outside, the hospitals, serve as makeshift mortuaries. Funeral homes in el paso are so overwhelmed that families sometimes have to wait a week to bury a loft. One funeral director 7 selves are struggling to cope and you are in this, this is what year it was. The level of stress is very high because it is not comparable to how it used to be. Some months ago we had around 30 services for month, right. Now were having around 18 reasons for this is where the economic effects of the pandemic can most clearly be seen. Downtown el paso seems abandoned by some money of all works just around the corner. For him, the president ial race is not over yet, nor for president biden. Is not going to be the president of the immigrants going to be donald trump. He feared his business might be hit by the pen demick, but now he has orders until july next year. Republicans, he says, are good for the construction sector. Despite his support for trump, he has his own opinion on covert 1000, specially after he tested positive. Everyone is going to get the virus and were going to fill up the hospitals. Testing is one of the crucial instruments to avoid to this problem may get cordy needs 10 Testing Centers in the past. So he works for a private company that is being paid by the state of texas. But his main concern in the pandemic is not political. I dont have fully knowledge of what joe biden is planning to do in his administration, but until now we havent had any kind of difficulties with the current administration. I dont think its a matter of resources. The main concern is how to communicate to the people. What to do or not . Trump supporters biden supporters to different sides that seem to come together in the past. 10 European Countries have reacted to the drastic increase in chrono infections with curfews and lockdowns. Frances new regulations are strict just of all impressions from paris. Even under lockdown, the french are taking to the streets as opposed to during the 1st 19 wave schools here are staying open, but teachers dont feel safe. We have between 20. 25 pupils per class. We are trying to impose social distancing. But in our classrooms, we can, it may still have a distance of 40 centimeters between each pupil that shes the most similar study to say. We were hoping the government would dream for senator kerry measures, but they havent or at least not sufficiently. So we dont understand that we fear the government is abandoning us destructively only lashing they are getting support from their pupils who have been blocking School Entrances and posting videos online that show a lack of social distancing. Also unlike during the 1st private 1000. 00 ways, more shops open and large parts of frances industry are still up and running. And yet, this is still one of europes strictest. Lockdowns with people only allowed one hour a day and only within a radius of one kilometer of their homes. Most french think the government was right to confine them, but many criticize the method. I dont understand why big supermarkets are no longer allowed to sell books, clothes or toys, just because small shops that sell the same things are closed. The government is just not good at explaining itself. This will cause lots of unemployment and bankruptcy speak. Why are they leaving big supermarkets open about closing small the shops of the megastores often take in hundreds of clients and small shops, only one or 2 think they are much safer. And yet the government is staying the course. Even though the spread of the epidemic has been slowing down in turkey, despite an increase in infections, theres been widespread indifference toward the corona, regulations. The government is trying to change that the city of 16000000. 00, in which the corona virus is spreading. And one of the teams that are fighting to stop it was the last image on as a dentist, at least she was until the pandemic started it. Shes been a contact traces since march 1 of around 35000 in turkey. And here your book seen from here, the size of the city county scary. And i sometimes wonder where this endemic is headed. But as a doctor, i have a responsibility. I try to think positively and knowing that i help people this would motivates me and keeps me going. Though on a tracing team manages around 10 house calls a day. They work in shifts almost around the clock. The goal is always the same track down test and isolate those who have been exposed to someone with 19 and all of this as quickly as possible. Googles 1st case today is the collect says all family. The mother recently tested positive. Now the father has symptoms trooper who will get what you call a clip clip or if the test is positive, google will also try to trace his call texts. The whole family has to stay at home for the next 14 days. After each visit. Protective clothing has to be changed. Job is time consuming and strenuous, but its worth it. She says. As in many other countries, peoples vigilance here has slackened in a recent survey. More than half of the respondents in turkey said the coronavirus does not affect a worry them and critics also blame the government for this lack of concern. Because the Health Ministry no longer reports the number of new infections every day. But only the number of symptomatic patients john uncuffed, undiano of the opposition c. H. P. Says the government is hiding. The real scope of the pandemic is thought will because what cost so slim here in istanbul alone, the number of cases is 20 times higher than the tally from the ministry of health from im saying this with regret, but the figures and information we have given are not correct, were going to let you know john is on her next house call. She does not want to take part in political discussions. She knows the debate about the numbers, but doesnt want to get involved. That more and more people disregard the coronavirus rules frustrates her being, which is surely good. It makes me sad. We are putting so much effort into this. But whats the point . If so many act as if nothing can happen to that one. And if this doesnt change, we wont see an end to this pandemic sticking because of good hopes that she will soon be able to work as a dentist again. But she also knows that her new job will be needed for quite a while. Germany is currently in the midst of a partial lockdown. Schools. Stores and businesses are open, but the government has restricted social contact among people. Many oppose the measure from lyn alexanderplatz in the popular shopping in strolling a safe distance is not guaranteed safe. Politicians think thats why theyre compulsory mosques even outside that finished its own for i find it terrible. Why should i put on a mosque out here now . When nobodys working behind me, you have to be able to bring fresh air. Im with mine at all. No one i do not find it. Ok and mosque has to put on in certain places because i mean its really going outdoors. What is actually supposed to happen in public buildings. Im just met. Church train everywhere, but not here in a public square. In cuts to politicians need to explain more clearly what theyre doing to combat the gun. Think in my view, the whole thing doesnt only depend on the politicians. The whole thing is, a social g. T. Like many others in a democracy, people have to support it in some form or another. In the law. We will have to live with this far as somehow, and we actually need a social debate. How its going to look exactly to be true of corruption. Go through most mobile storage because dont talk so much. Something has to be pushed through. Now. Will it go on like this with the wave get higher and higher. And of course one has to austin question, what we still have to do with the money not to lose. Do you do some work then . Not mom, doing even more hardly possible for the restaurants and cafes in the capital. They have to close for a month. Again, this can be seen almost 5 kilometers away in the trendy district of friedrichs, on there are usually hundreds of people in this public, just direct tourists. But also i think everyone who is not affected is fine with it. So i dont have any big problems to do without now for a while, but also only because i dont walk in the Hospitality Industry and have nothing to do that. I can understand that people are angry and secure and that a directive sets them professionally like that stuffed up the same time. Most restaurants have invested a lot of money in hygiene measures. Some to at least a little money. I mean nothing out of the well, i guess sometimes now, but they stand up in with the town and i think deep into the german culture you can see it from the ground one day ill tell you its all about who they know im right. So join me for me. Thank everybody. Healthy host. Imagine home, he pushed us right now in the water right now. Climb a tree to burn off the stored bases. Much less the way home just one week. How much oil can really get. We still have time to im going a success that subscribes like that once the secret service classic is it the sound or the story behind the music . I play it for the ages. Greatest age. I was beethovens nights simply for the world. Starts to simmer nights on d, w. Its the palace of justice in nuremberg. After the 2nd world war, nearly 200. 00 defendants were brought here to be held accountable for 12 years of dictatorship, military aggression, tara, 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, 194520 high ranking nazi leaders were brought by elevator to the court in room 600. The form a wry smile shall Hermann Goering willingly took on the role of most senior nazi. He was followed by a grand admiral cogburn. Its whom hitler had appointed as president of the right in his will. And rudolf hess, hitlers former deputy. The defendants never showed the slightest remorse. It was part of their thoughts. Their pride 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 in forces of hitlers maniacal. Well have to have the nuremberg palace of justice was a quipped with what was then state of beyond technology. On nov, 29th, 1905. The prosecution had, a giant screen in stoles. The court was shown document 24300 p. S. , an authenticated one, l. Film about the atrocities in nazi concentration camps. The film showed that a system of terror had been instituted across europe. It all began in 1933. In a camp north of munich, this footage was taken after the camp was liberated that how bacterial act i knew mention one of the orders of a not if they havent got it now. And that the 941, the 19 brought it up at any hour, been able to rant at one time and counting present time. The riot, eric martin, had been reading are Strong Enough to travel that brought it back, our outlying crime rate right back in by the allied a back there are a lot on iraq. Soon as they saw all the pictures they filmed of the concentration camps, it began to wither. And then the matter of fact, several of them cried. They were crying. I dont think for the jewish people who are lost, theyre crying because they knew that the and know what those pictures were seen in the world. They had no way to escape because fusion, a british camera crew shown these scenes in a liberated camp near the town of sela. When i was back in doubt, not that the accused previously. So selfassured was shaken by the images. Some briefed heavily, others lowered, their heads minister of economics vowed to film cried yulia, strike here, claims not to believe what he saw. Even hammon goerings nonchalance seemed to vanish. It was such a pleasant afternoon. He said until that film was shown of our good friends fossils. And these were scenes where you could see indescribable things happening. And of course, you had to ask yourself, what was it possible that the senior figures didnt know about . It was just bits and just was i turned around and asked, giving dunnetts and has really did no one know what hes getting remarked well, you know how it is at the top. You dont hear about muscle as you just never does. Its not fit numbers. Honestly. In the show, the next morning the prosecution called its 1st witness general avin law hosen. It was hoped, his evidence would help prove the defendants individual guilt. The former department, head under espionage and sabotage chief vilhelm canaris, told how the Resistance Movement tried in vain to hamper hitlers war plans. Above all, those an incriminating title and yodel, not only had they planned the murder of polish elites and the jewish population, they had also knowingly accepted the deaths of millions of soviet prisoners of war during the russian campaign. An enraged gurning called la, who was in a traitor, lamenting that he had escaped notice in the aftermath of a failed plot to assassinate hitler. No wonder we lost the war going said our own Intelligence Service was betrayed to the enemy. The title and the courtroom . Yes, next top. Now to the best of your knowledge and recollection. Will you please expand and as much detail as possible to the tribe you know exactly what was said and what the rest trail hosen recalled a conversation during the september 19th, 39. 00, Poland Campaign in which the destruction of warsaw was discussed. Hitler and personally decided to have the capital bombed. Hosen also said that kind all and yodel, had approved of the murder of prisoners of war in the campaign against the soviet union. And you know, the execution i didnt read the order itself. According to discussions in our circle at the time it was the idea. But i cant say who was involved in transforming that idea into an order. If you had come to american judge Francis Biddle followed up i should like to after what . Well that the orders to kill the russian and in connection with equipment of the prisoners were in writing and mine. Ok. Not the best of my knowledge. Yes, i have not seen or read it myself. Believe to where they are special orders of god, the son of heli. Yes. These were official orders, of course the actual meaning was paraphrasing the most were in the afternoon, the case of rudolf hess was discussed. His lawyer had filed a motion to declare the defendant unfit to stand trial, has seemed unable to follow the proceedings hed been diagnosed with amnesia. The prosecutors argued against that their psychiatric experts did not consider him mentally ill. Faced with the threat of exclusion from further proceedings, hesse surprisingly took the stand himself for to avoid that, if youre in order to avoid being declared into pasa teetered despite my wish to participate in the trial in an internet sealed the verdict together with my comrades. I make the following statement to the court. I usually intended to meet it at a later stage of the trial verdict. Were going to end it on 3 and i was on mine memory will also be available to the im site world to him get up to the people. The reasons for feeling memory loss were tactical insight except one my concentration is somewhat impaired hot topic. It used to be to get manic, big kind of another of the defendants had been previously unable to stand trial. Prosecutors believed that in answer to cult and bruna, they had found a fully fledged replacement, the s. S. Leader heinrich himmler. They accused the 42 year old lawyer of involvement in the genocide of millions. On december 10th, 1945, he entered the court for the 1st time, American Court psychologist Gustaf Gilbert would later recall. A coldness whipped the prisoners dog as if a freezing glassed had come in through the open door and burned his codefendants, received him coldly and tried to ignore him. Pretty much now. Either guilty or not guilty. Sure to conduct i believe im not guilty. Cult and bruna denied the charges, claiming he was a scapegoat for the crimes of others. Him and going was annoyed by the attention the newcomer was getting from the press. He suspected cult and his appearance meant the unpleasant topic of the murdering of jews would come to dominate proceedings. Court psychologist Gustaf Gilbert was able to eavesdrop on the defendants conversations, especially during breaks. He also had unhindered access to the cells. Gilberts diary published in 1947 still shapes how the nuremberg trials the scene today. On january 3rd, 946 gilbert describes the 26th day of the trial in room 600. He wrote, the effect on the defendants was generally depressing as the eunice capable reality and shame of mass murder was driven home by the unquestionable reliability of a german official who admitted participating in it. After all, in the uk, they are all and i was the one that this covered out all over and i said, all rough weather judo during the war. I said, well, during the war i was the head of the i. R. S. Ha, except for 941. I said, what do you do that youre a share while i was ahead of screw up a day. So i asked all for that all and our harmony men, women, and children, did you kill that . You responded 90, our group killed 90000, other witnesses and we were able to that there were 4 of these follow the torch with a mission to run, to go to another and warn the person gypsies killing them in the open field just murdering them with striking evidence and just lawyers luck the game a s. S. Brigade leader patiently explains the murderous actions of the death squads to the court. He gave detailed answers to questions about the involvement of cults and bruna, gestapo, chief, and holocaust organizer, adult men that he was head of the Security Police and the s. D. Intelligence agency. As such. He was also head of the right security main office, held that position iseman worked on the jewish problems in office for under hammond during deliberately tried to ignore such statements. What does the p. D. Expect to gain from this . He said about ohlendorf testimony. Hes going to hang anyway. The same day s. S. Functionary. D to visit saini, an assistant to adult iseman also testified on the genocide of the jews. Among other things. He was questioned about the deportation of 450000, hungary and jews. But he carried the jews to work on you are already referred back to my daughter to bring this about 430 2 of them as they were all taken to auschwitz and brought to the final solution. You mean they were, you know . Yeah, i was not. Yes. Except about 25 to 30 percent and who were put to work, but it would have been, it was a girl ring, responded angrily. It makes me sick. He said, when i see germans selling their souls to the enemy, day after day, the prosecutors of the 4 victorious powers presented their incriminating evidence that it is. But for the 1st time, the world saw film footage from auschwitz presented as evidence by soviet prosecutors. But the pictures were taken when the red army reached the extermination camp. In late january 945, its official. The fleeing germans had forced most of the surviving prisoners on death marches to the west. With those left in the camp where the sick and those physically unable to march was cheeky, young souls. Its got to mean it has to sit, it just puts you in the will. It still was in the city this time. Not all the accused seemed affected by the film and during pretended to read, yawned, and now and then made sarcastic remarks to hess and ribbentrop to him. It was all just soviet propaganda. The last one was our god, the last day the owners act. I shaved our heads tatted the entry number on our left for us. Then we were taken to a large tree that to have a steam bath and an ice cold shower. It was all done in front of s. S. Men and women, and even there we had to strip naked if im sure i think theres any of that was how one witness described the arrival procedures that auschwitz maariv a young crew. Terry a was a communist resistance fighter from france. On january 28th 1946, she gave a detailed account of the daily horrors in the concentration camp. Separation based on fitness for work, forced labor and the gas chambers. When the judge called for the defense to question the witness, the only response was shamefaced silence. There in the courtroom at nuremberg, the holocaust had become an undeniable fact. You can do with your spirit. I have faced with harrowing testimony like that. The defendants united front began to waver during a lunch break during its declared. At 1st, i was angry about being dragged into court because i knew nothing of these atrocities. Now im satisfied because there was good reason to get to the bottom of things. You know, early, much 946 after 76 days of hearings, the prosecution concluded the evidentiary proceedings for weeks. The Defense Attorneys had followed the prosecutions arguments occasionally making comments. All crossexamining witnesses. Now it was their clients turn to either confess or to refute the evidence. In room 57 at the palace of justice, lawyers for the defense had the opportunity to talk to their clients. One in particular had been waiting for months for his moment of the spotlight. On march 13th, 1946 hammond during presented his version of the story, showing no remorse on the witness stand. He used the trial to convey his personal mythology to the german people. The right smushed had overcome his drug addiction and lost a lot of white. If theyre in the us, i mean i look personally, i can only speak for myself. I have done everything in my personal power to strengthen and expand the National Socialist movement. No matter the circumstances. I have worked unceasingly to bring it. And its a loon trigger, and if you think jackson is not very worried about carrying his burden of proof on the crimes charge, he doesnt need confessions from her. They have an extensive document tree record, including many things growing had signed, but jacksons very concerned about not letting gurren turn this examination into a platform from which hell be able to rally the german people to a renewed enthusiasm for nazi is a robot. Jackson was an accomplished prosecutor. He knew exactly how to reduce the mass of a bit instead down to the essentials, count as separate important facts from unimportant ones in order to establish the crucial points. After 3 days of unrestrained self promotion from gurning, the american lead prosecutor began hes awaited crossexamination of the man who jackson was determined not to give gurning any more opportunity for grandstanding that you set up in germany and concentration camps was one of the things you found immediately necessary, upon coming to powers and you set them up as a matter of necessity. To speak on the translations. It was a bit too quick for me. But i still think i understood the meaning of the statement. Youre asking me and im to consider it necessary to eliminate the opposition. That is correct. Especially as jackson press, gehring saw what was going on and he became very word in the face. And his answers were a long explanation, and he would say, well, you do the same thing in Great Britain and so for theres no difference and all of these things were not just arent things, as i understood you to protect the venue on this. These things became necessary because of the existing opposition. When we got kerry into the matter of the specific crimes that he committed, such as the persecution of the jews. Well then he collapsed. Then he fell and he was done because we had him so. So devastated on the jewish issue that he in the does, jackson had achieved his goal during didnt step off the stage as the new furor. Instead, hes own words, had condemned him regarding the crossexamination during said, i had the best lawyers against me. Good. If you have on march 28th, 946, it was hitlers Foreign Ministers turn you on him from ribbentrop was despised by his codefendants as a pathetic weakling. The prosecution primarily charged him with war crimes and ordering deportations. Rybin trumps main defense was that he always unconditionally placed his own opinions below those of adult hitler. To prove his innocence, ribbentrop sent his secretary margaret a blank to the witness stand. But i want to feel what bob he, even with that one, even i have the fear is trust was the greatest satisfaction for him. And his greatest goal was to justify that trust through his attitude in the performance. He was completely devoted to that goal by no effort was too great for him to achieve it. He was ruthlessly and unsparingly hard on himself when it came to carrying out the tasks the futurist. Set him up to his subordinates. He spoke about agile fit with the greatest veneration than under ever. Not more and in the dock. There was unanimous agreement that the Foreign Ministers fate was sealed. Going said simply, ribbentrop is finished. They got it there, but they can get back to that point that i ever get 100 of them, but theyll be kept down. But in the context of the Foreign Ministers questioning rudolf hess is defense counsel, Alfred Zeigler trying to introduce the secret german soviet nonaggression pact. The invasion of poland was part of the trial and introducing the pact would show that military aggression against poland had, in fact, been jointly planned by germany and the soviet union. The soviet delegation tried everything to prevent the embarrassing document from being read out. But in the end, zydeco had his way. Vilhelm kind all stood before the tribunals, the highest ranking officer of the van marked unsurprisingly, he was of the opinion that he shouldnt be called to account. Nevertheless, michael didnt hide behind the defense that he was just following orders. Although he said he had protested against unlawful orders. He would now bear responsibility for carrying them out. The story that i was a soldier was not a growth because of my aptitude for it. And my belief in it either, i believe, gave him, let me explain very him. I am both nonspecialists and professional officers found hitlers studying of staff reports, military literature, and tactical operational and strategic studies. Incredible to behold. He possessed a military knowledge that can only be described as astonishing what i was found to be upstaging that j. General found great that i already told the court, he had no authority, said goering mockingly. Of keitel statement. I guess he had to say it himself to the poor devil really had nothing to say. Many people simply dont belong here. No wouldnt be here. A himmler where he carried out was ordered the actually purity man up presented with his signature on countless documents and carlton burner either trying to play down the fact or he denied their authenticity. Hes stubborn denials, true admiration from some one defender called him the man without a signature film shown by american cameramen during the liberation of the mauthausen concentration. Camp near linz, was still fresh in the memory of those in the courtroom. The prosecution accused culson burna, among other things of having taken part in executions. During his visits there ordered the construction of the gas chambers and in 1945 forwarded him order to eliminate the surviving prison. Is the army. Make a profit . It will be paid. Ok. You asked me, who gave the order to kill the prisoners at the end of the war amount of housing, given how i reply that i dont know of any such order like a pig is finished because if you have it, i dont think i gave one single order to mauthausen, you know, you have had at the entire camp and all his honours were to be handed over to the and i mean that without any maltreatment on a year to mishandle. And it usually a strong show, had been editor of the n. T. Semitic hate magazine dash duma. He stood accused of inciting the murder of jews. Strong. His defense was that as a newspaperman, he had nothing to do with murders for him, the trial was an outrageous injustice. And if a patron had complained in the courtroom that the prosecution had refused him an anti semitic defense counsel be shambolic, it makes him good. If thats because i wish to make the following statement to the court, thats real. I here by declare that i have been a pro vented from having an unrestricted there for just defense. And for this International Military tribunal, making it called turn. It said, none of his naval officers would have touched the reprehensible striker with a 10 foot pole. The grand admiral complained about the long hours spent sitting in court saying he was glad his case would soon be heard. The prosecution accused the form a submarine fleet commander of giving orders to shoot shipwrecked enemies instead of rescuing them a war crime done. Its vehemently denied any involvement his defense was able to nullify a major accusation by the prosecution that during its as submarines had sunk. Merchant ships without any warning us. Admiral chester nimitz confirmed that the American Pacific plate had acted the same way. Former minister of armaments adopted a Defense Strategy that was rejected by other defendants assuming general responsibility. While denying personal guilt should be as calculation was that fritz zokol, who provided slave labor for the armament factories, would take the heat for their shared crimes. As chief representative for deployment of labor had provided his superior with 8000000 foreign forced labor, as she also used concentration camp prisoners in his factories against his better judgment. He denied knowledge of their cruel treatment and incriminated, for example, that it should be a strategy seemed to work. He also exaggerated his own record of resisting hitler. After all, he reasoned, it was he who had stops the furious scorched earth policy at the last moment. Without proof
