Attacks over the last 7 years, despite agreeing to destroy all their chemical weapons back in 2013. While the human Rights Groups have filed already a kernel complaint with germanys federal prosecutor, and their hope now is that germany can deliver justice for the victims, reporters from d. W. And the german news magazine. Their spiegel have been given exclusive access to some of the evidence to scream, so we can sue, died in the searing gas attack in ghouta to this day, still echo in that years of syrian nurse a man. She wants nothing more than syrian president bashar assad. And the perpetrators of the a check to be charged. She and her husband met our witnesses of a criminal complaint filed in germany by human Rights Groups. They wish to remain anonymous because they fear for their familys safety. Wise, i fear for my mother and my sisters who are still living in syria and the whole because the regime is my real and unjust and it has no mercy. If it has a conscience, dick wouldnt have done these things. On august 21st, 2013, at least 4 rockets loaded with sarin gas warheads. Struck rebel held parts of eastern kentucky. I was more than a 1000 people were killed. Many of them children. Among them was imminent marmet eldest son. They too were exposed to serin and were unconscious for days to this day. The Syrian Regime denies any responsibility for the attack. And i would, if i hope that one day i can stand before a judge you and tell them what this chemical attack did to us. On the everything came out that it was an arab scene that i cannot describe to you. Play your lying on the ground like ants being killed by bug spray. These images never leave my mind. Hardly a cut, it was convinced that the Syrian Regime was behind the attack. For years his organization, the syrian archives, along with 2 other human Rights Groups, have meticulously analyzed the attack from the suspected launch sites to the rockets used. Their falso documented undisclosed chemical weapons facilities, including where sarah was hidden after 2013. When you think from your investigation that most probably 450 a network of different entities that are responsible for the coordination. Execution of these attacks. The w. s investigative team, along with german news magazine, der spiegel was given exclusive access to parts of the criminal complaint. It includes testimonies from 50 defectors was 1st, hand knowledge of the chemical weapons program, and names suspected perpetrators, such as bashar assad and his younger brother. My hair. We have one witness who has described the request for the use of sarin gas comes from and then is communicated to the president ial palace where it is approved. We believe it is approved or ordered by the criminal complaint must find in october with the chief federal prosecutor. Well, while crimes unit has been investigating atrocities in syria for years, federal prosecutors here in germany confirm to us that a criminal complaint was fired, but they would not comment on its contents. Instead, they said they would independently appropriate evidence before deciding whether to open a case against individual suspects. But that can take weeks or even months. A man was traumatized by the events she suffered from depression and needs medication to make it through the day. But the investigation in germany has given her strength and hope that the people responsible for all the suffering will finally be held to account and that was a bigger show because shes here with me on the set. She is one of our investigative reporters. Thank you. So much for being here. What are the chances that this complaint will actually turn into an indictment for the charlotte saddams cronies . We understand that the federal Prosecutors Office is taking this criminal complaint very seriously. And in fact, its a really comprehensive documentation of these attacks with a lot of evidence and was also names of possible perpetrators. I think the strongest evidence are the defectors, testimonies which describe the chain of command, and also suggest that even bashar assad knew about sarah gas attacks. And that could braden or leeched to in the indictment under International Law until he really could be indicted. This still ahead take a lot of time because as an acting president and his strong allies like russia and china, he is under a sort of, of a he enjoys the unity. For now at least, what is so intriguing about this case is of course the question, why did these human rights organizations pick germany to file the complaint given they sort of germany, it with the nazi regime with the new and back tribes, germany for a long time has supported the idea of the prosecution of International Crimes, and it has a back to the socalled to principle of universal you restriction. And this means that germany can prosecute crimes such crimes in International Crimes like genocide like, like war crimes. Regardless where they have been committed or who committed them and this principle definitely plies to war crimes in syria. Ok, now you have seen dozens of very horrific footage from that fit from 2013 in hota. Could anybody else have committed these atrocities . No, i dont think so. The evidence really points the direction of the us had regimes starting with the rockets which were used, which can be linked to the assad regime. The suggested launch sides is close to the president ial palace, but even more important, the chemicals which were used sarin is very difficult to produce and even more difficult to use as a weapon. And we dont have any evidence that the rebels would have had the capacity and nor access to such of course, most importantly, if you met survivors of these atrocities, a man and mohammed, they lost their eldest son in a hotel, can tell us a bit more about what they shared with you, i mean, its really highly, highly traumatized. She was unconscious for 43 days. Her husband was unconscious for 2 days off the deck after that. They tried to find their son, but they couldnt find it. And they only found pictures on the internet, and then they knew he is. He is that theyre really driven by the wish to do their bit to hold the Syrian Regime and Bashar Al Assad accountable for that atrocity. And for them, the criminal complaint is the really huge step forward to just such a harrowing kids there because the sugary, very grateful that you investigated this earth. Appreciate it. Thank you. And were going to transition to something altogether different to argentinian football. I got to go maradona has been buried now alongside his parents at a private cemetery when a scientist, after all modernised to death on wednesday the government had planned for him to lie in state for 3 days.

I dont mind now the top story that were tracking for you this hour. Germanys tally of confirmed corona virus cases has surpassed 1000000, according to data compiled by the countrys Public Health agency. John song america told parliament on thursday that a partial long down to curb the virus could be extended into next year.

Antigovernment protests rallies by the opposition are demanding the removal of Prime Minister. Government. We asked why and what chance they have of success. Plus indonesias coronavirus baby boom. After months of covert destruction, authorities are expecting nearly half a 1000000 more babies born this year than last year. Its forced the government to actively for more Family Planning measures. Welcome to day. Glad you could join us. The government of pakistan Prime Minister is facing calls to resign opposition parties which of united under the banner of the Pakistan Democratic Movement coalition that he was installed by the military in rigged elections. In 20 protests began in october and are set to continue into next month, at least the latest in the city of the weekend. These demonstrators by the government not to gather because of the coronavirus pandemic. But they defied the ban and turned out in force. They represent a wide range of groups from secular nationalists to right wing religious organizations and left of center parties. What they have in common is a desire to unseat Prime Minister came to the rani because we are unhappy with current one. He has not done any good work for poor people. I did not vote for him on car. I will not vote for him in future. Imran khan has not followed through on his promises to purchase a car has run the economy into the ground and presided over an increase in food prices, but also restricted media freedoms and crackdown on dissent. Among the number of figures such as pakistan, Peoples Party leader, the larval bhutto zardari the some of the former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and marry him now was the daughter of former Prime Minister. Now as a shareef, it was his words delivered by video link from london at an earlier rally that caused the true sensation. He accused the military of interfering in politics and rigging the election that brought imran khan to power in 2018 is being called the 1st direct challenge to the army in the countrys history count for his part denies any allegations of wrongdoing. And from all this, im joined by whats really driving these protests it is a sense and Barbara Starr that underground mr. Armstrong, who has the backing of the pakistani military, the military, the country sliding into accordions and the opposition parties feel that they are being sidelined. They have been pushed against a clock against the wall that corner on the day dont have much room for politics in the country. At the moment. Corruption cases are being levelled against opposition, politicians and their feeling that they have been docketed by the government and the military at the same time. The Economic Situation in pakistan is extremely dire at the moment, and it has been aggravated by the ongoing bend down at the corner of virus. So all together, the opposition feels very frustrated and there is an anger among the public as well against the go. So thats one driver in these Anti Government brought this against front, so hot. There were protests against khan last year as well. How will these protests, these different . Well, last year it was only one politician 1st remark, who has a lot of these protests, all opposition parties, major opposition parties and joined hands with small regional parties come together to gobble up the sun government. And god is why it is just or it has happened for the 1st time that all parties who have a lot of differences who have had a different agenda in the past. They have come together to topple the government. Because all feel that the pakistan is heading into a wrong direction in their view. So thats how it is different. It is, it is more, the scale is bigger, the readies are massive and all of these of come together, because you mentioned of yourself, it is very different agendas that have come together, but are they really united and what chance of success to have . Well, there youre not going to claim spiritual quantities that iran needs to step down and do it at the military. The general is should not interfere in politics that has been said time. And again, my former Prime Minister who is in its, im the boss sharif and he has explicitly openly criticized for the 1st time in a box on history. We see that a former Prime Minister so openly criticizes the incumbent on the i. S. I. Chief. So these are the good lines, iran must go and the army should stop in defeating politics. And it should stop supporting grounds for khan because there is no room for the stand for anyone, not even for the media bloggers. If you bought these, anyone who disagrees with the government, nobody disagreed with the government and the army. So these are the 2 points and they all agree on that despite their differences ideological differences and their differences in the past. Some in charms. Thank you very much for that british months of coronavirus destructions on citizens in indonesia. From to the mission wide baby boom largely done to a lack of access to contraceptives. Some 400000 extra butts are expected this year. The unplanned pregnancies for the most part, placing a heavy burden on families already struggling to make ends meet. The government is equally concerned and is actively pushing a Family Planning message. Even tiny babies were face shields in the Maternity Ward of this hospital in jakarta. The coronavirus pandemic can affect people at any stage of life. A couple of hours ago, davy raju gave birth to her 3rd baby. But the housewife and mother doesnt seem overjoyed. Her husband is the driver. He was always behind the wheel until the pen demick struck. Now he only works twice a week. How can they live on that . We are on the whole lot, the boss, the climate. Of course, im worried my baby needs milk and other things every day. But we have far less money now. Somehow well have to get by when he has to be far more in love. Debbie chose to have another child before the pandemic struck, but hundreds of thousands of other women became pregnant during the pandemic. Unintentionally. This is spanned a 150 kilometers east of jakarta. Its time to 39 year old, your hasi whos 4 months pregnant . She didnt want the baby now growing in her belly. She ran out of Birth Control pills during the lockdown, and the local pharmacy was closed. Then her husband lost his job. Condom use isnt widespread in indonesia, and then it just happened during the lockdown of women who simply wanted contraception. Welcome in Public Health centers. I could have gone to a private midwife, but it was too expensive. I dont even know that im pregnant, so i havent been able to afford any examination. Oh ya see already has 2 children. Her 17 year old son and 11 year old daughter still in school. And the familys finances are stretched. So she applied for membership in the state run Health Insurance system, which is free for the needy. But she doesnt know if shell be accepted that we can now receive access to free health care. I dont have any other option, but im dizzy thinking about the future. Excuse me. Something like hope well get lucky for you that you can have sex. You can get married, but dont get pregnant. Thats what Family Planning Authority Workers are shouting from their loud speakers as they drive through the streets. Fathers, please restrain yourselves or use Birth Control. Indonesia is fearful of a baby boom. Young thing that the law will find out by john deiner separate midwife explains the various kinds of contraceptives in front of the community center. One of 24000 advisors employed by the state Family Planning authority 17 percent of pregnancies in indonesia, where unwanted, even before the pandemic, due to lack of access to Birth Control. The pandemic has only made the situation worse. Separate young colleagues only recently started working again. Thats just how its been during the lockdown. Men and women have been seeing more of each other because the men were at home and the women didnt dare leave their homes. And since many people didnt use Birth Control, we now have too many unwanted pregnancies up to one half a 1000000 extra babies could be born because of the lockdown. The government is trying to keep that number from growing even more. Sissy pretty empty in a team. Going door to door, advising women and handing out plenty of contraceptives. This 22 year old had a 1st baby 2 months ago. Now shes decided to go on the pill. The midwives advise what i said about them. I dont forget once a day, always at the same time i was i was the head of the Family Planning authority is very concerned up to half a 1000000 additional babies mostly from families too poor to feed them. He sees the personal tragedies, as well as serious consequences for the country before the pandemic. Indonesia was the fast growing threshold economy. But poverty puts those to cheapen in jeopardy. While the process to get out, the malnutrition compromises our populations potential undernourished, people are small and definitely mentally underdeveloped. Small people are not necessarily undernourished, but undernourished. People are smaller and not intellectually capable of what youre hasi rarely ventures outside anymore. Covert infection rates remain worryingly high. And now theres the added concern over her 3rd child who can go up. They dont hear that every day. My worries get bigger. Whats our future going to be under these conditions . You might not, i. How are we going to survive that nearly . He will be within 4 years, indonesia have been aiming to cut by half poverty and used childhood developmental delays. But the covert and use baby boom. Could push that target far into the future. Thats it for today this morning. I did up a book called really good now with images of all of this child in the philippines, his name and hes been cruising on his almost motorbike since he was a pup. Were back on monday to the fight against the corona virus. Pandemic has the rate of infection been developing. What does the latest research say . Information and context . The coronavirus update. 19 special on t w. The secret service classic it is in the 2nd or the story behind the music was before the age of british law. At beethovens 9th symphony, before the world starts to simmer nights on, w. Since the beginning of the pandemic numbers at playing an even larger role in our day to day lives, which is better standing 1. 5 metres apart or 2 meters. What exactly is the all right . Do i have enough masks, and how long can i wear one for the numbers inform our decision making. How many kids can be safely in one classroom . Or how many people should i be allowed to meet with . Between new and changing numbers coming to us every day. Whats important and how do you keep your head from spending with so many statistics associated with the coronavirus pandemic. This imposes give on top of them even to understand them. Well, if all of these numbers leaving, you know, allow us to help you out by explaining a few of the key ones. The 7 day incidence indicates how many people tested positive within one week measured per 100000 inhabitants. For example, lets assume a city with 129000 inhabitants has this number of positive tests. In one week. We add up all the positive test results and then the 7 day incidence is calculated 48 times 100000 divided 521000 inhabitants giving an incidence of 37. 2 can also the number allows you to ascertain the current infection rate, or in other words, how many people are currently infected in a region and sense it refers to 100000 inhabitants. One can also say, so to speak, what the percentage of new infections is of value is considered problematic for a region once it becomes difficult to identify all contacts an infected person has had in germany, that is a 7 day incidents above 50 the effective reproduction rate are describes the average number of people an infected person, passes the virus onto an r. Value of 2 means that one infected person passes the disease to 2 others. Meaning the virus spreads exponentially. If the effective reproduction number is less than one, the number of new infections decreases or you can target incidents while the 7 day incidents offers an initial estimate. The reproduction rate gives you an idea of the dynamics. How quickly the infection is currently spreading from one person to the next to meet the gaze, fatality rate indicates how many people who tested positive die from or with the virus. If for example, one out of 10 people die is the case fatality rate is 10 percent. If we take a look at the latest case fatality rates from different countries, we see a very inconsistent picture with the world average hovering around a case fatality rate of 2. 4. If the number is important for considering how threatening the infection is for an individual patient, but it also has notable problems on the one hand, the number of unreported cases is very important. And the number of undetected cases also depends on how much testing is going on. In other words, you might get a distorted picture if you test very much or very little. If you look as if you need to test it. And thats the problem with many of the key statistics, depending on your test capacity, the figures change. Nevertheless, the measurements provide valuable information because doctors get in short, its about relative changes. And you can see those quite well in these figures. And the goal remains the same all through the pandemic super event Health Care Systems from becoming overburdened lets speak to maria bobber also, who is a mathematician of the frank that institute for advanced studies. Thanks for joining us, maria. So many numbers, too many for anyone to really keep across. So can you help us out here . Is that one number that we should be paying more attention to than all the others . Well, there are really many numbers concerning independent make and care have been many coming across during the months. We are currently paying very much attention to numbers which indicate disagree. Disease like hospitalization and i. C. U. Requirement. So people who are in severe conditions because of disease disease and does are numbers to us, which inform us a bit more about this a very key and health care requirement. Roger did only numbers concerning the detection, so like 7 days, incidents or r. T. Number. So you say thats what youre currently focusing on is the number thats most important change over time. This, this change, of course, we have been tracking them. Essentially, since the beginning of the pandemic, it became quite clear to dizzee disease that require or might have assumed severe course and hand up in deaths or require us because asian and health care and does is of course, an indicator which, which is not stable depends very much on on the Health Care Capacity of the country. But i believe its less effective tracking capacities or testing the captivity in the country. So, we have all these numbers. They are number 7 day incidents and stuff to the general public need to be across these numbers. I can understand why governments Decision Makers might need to be. But what about i, can we just stay at home and do as were told without getting caught up in the thickens . Well i guess its probably is 1st time, at least since im aware of. And as surely the 1st time to people became so informed about the meaning of the production number were even seventys instance for any disease does. Numbers are reported for a number of diseases, but usually are kept in, in control systems in health care facilities. So people who are working wouldnt, so now if they went into a community and i guess it was because of making people aware or making people aware of this, a very dependent make of the weight spreads. But of course, and then the number of the numbers as we get or the more number steadily gets destroyed, can make people more confused. A might not know what they are looking at. Its there are some indicators like overproduction number or wishes, not like temperature measurement. Its depends on, under cases that are reported, and this are in case of cold feet for sure, or not all cases which we have out there. You know, i suppose misunderstanding the numbers, could cause more problems than not knowing the metol. I mean, maria bobber also. Thank you so much for bringing us your expertise from the front that institute for advanced studies. Thank you very much. Now is the cause of the program where you get to ask the questions, youve been submitting them through our you tube channel. So now lets put one of them to ask science correspondent, derrick williams. Should people who have already had 1000 continue to wear masks . I answered this question a few months ago in the guidelines havent really changed, but it gets sent in so often that i guess its, its maybe time for a reminder. The short answer is that a lot of aspects of covert 19 immunity are still pretty hazy because people simply havent been recovering from it long enough to provide solid, long term data. Based on what weve seen so far with the disease. People who get infected once do acquire some immunity for a period of time. The big problem is, we still dont really know how long on average that period is. So for some framework, it makes sense to look at what we know about other corona viruses that infect humans and, and studies there, have revealed that immunity can wane pretty swiftly. A number of them convincingly show people can be really infected with some of those pathogens within a year of catching them once so far. There have been a few dozen documented cases of that also happening with coke at 19. But as, as proving reinfection is quite a complex challenge, the real numbers are almost certainly higher. In some of the documented cases, the people who got it again showed no symptoms the 2nd time around but, but in others, they got the disease worse. And we still dont know whether they were infectious to others. So until we have better data guidelines from Health Authorities like the c. D. C. Recommends that you continue to wear a mask, especially in indoor public spaces until we have more information. And you should assume that masking up is still an effective way to protect, not only others, but yourself, even if you had to get 1000 once and recovered from it. And you can submit a question for derek through you tube channel d. W. News. Now i know weve already thrown a lot of numbers in todays program, but bear with us here. We have just a couple of more for you because with the vaccine production starting up around the world, we asked you through our social media channels. If you would take a jab against 19 say are the results. The largest proportion over 40 percent said theyd rather wait and see before taking a vaccine. 38 percent say they offer pads to take the vaccine and around 16 percent said they would not be willing to get immunized against cardiff 90. That was a bad as mentioning that are all to just say, immunization is the only way to get a grip on the coronavirus pandemic. But it seems there is still a fair bit of skepticism around the vaccines weve seen developed in recent months. Well, thats all from this edition of the comet 19 special for the latest developments on the corona virus pandemic. Go to our website, d. W. Dot com slash covered 19 until next time.
