At 90 because it overwhelmed hospitals are turning them away we have a special report. Plus a giant statue of both set for demolition in chinas blue this heartland its part of beijings clampdown on religion and spirituality well take a closer look. Now at. Im sumi so misconducts good to have you with us will there be a 2nd wave of covert 1000 in germany well the head of the german Doctors Union says it is already here and a newspaper interview suzanna you and i said there was a danger germany would fritter away the successor to the chief so far of the number of cases has risen steadily in recent weeks with over 870 new infections counted on tuesday you and i said hospitals were prepared but urged people to stick to social distancing and hygiene rolls and to wear masks. Lets bring in d. W. Political correspondent and man wish us for more on this story good to see you so what measures are in place here to handle the uptick in cases. Sumi for us we have to keep in mind that there was never really a state of emergency here in germany hospitals were very well equipped to respond to the pandemic so far and now everyone is even a much better prepared to handle a 2nd wave and its unlikely at this stage that will have to do is a generalized lockdown again of course if we see clusters appearing here and there was a case for example was to meet hotspots in north rhinewestphalia we might see a potshot a localized a locked. Secondly. Looking into making testing mandatory for travelers returning from high risk areas at the moment those people are asked to respect a 14 days quarantine but that is up to individuals to respect thats. To respect that measure of course and thats where we are at the moment and how do you think that would go down people here. Well the majority of the population in germany has approved the governments handling of the pandemic so far but that doesnt mean that everyone else does we saw not such a day more than 20000 people protesting in berlin against the restrictions and hygiene was in place so thats the debates on the right of processing in the middle of a pandemic as those people were not respecting any of the directives of the government and thats rose come sends out for and from the other part of the population which have been doing by de roos to protect their fellow citizens for months now and theres also another big challenge coming out of germany at the moment and thats how do you faction a way that will evolve as a country tries to get back to normal ways day reopening of the schools. Finally back where they wanted to be in the schoolyard with all of their friends for the 1st time in 5 months these children from John FranklinPrimary School in rust up can play together without a mask and without a daring to social distancing roles. Even hugs are allowed although not recommended. And its best of my its better now because we are allowed to sit next to each other again and we can see all our friends again you know. Unless i i find it great because we can see all of our friends again and also our classmates and teachers. Its even my sisters very 1st day at school so thats really exciting its a lot in this choice turk. Just like this class all 11000000 german pupils are supposed to return to a daily School Routine in the next couple of weeks a great relief for their parents as well but playing and learning so close to each other every day comes with a certain risk of infection that to make some teachers uneasy. As of course were anxious its not just school it goes beyond that. Im thinking about my family my grandmother is 91. 00 you dont want to be a carrier plus i have to be extra careful as my child has asked. Passer with coded 19 infections rising again in germany parents have mixed feelings about the new start to. This is a mother do this theres a degree of uncertainty you dont know where people have been on holiday. Im glad its starting up again the last 6 months have been exhausting. Comes to. School started normally and i could see that. Distancing. Keeping the kids at home even longer isnt an option for the school teacher. It is really important for the children and their families as well i think schools can restart despite the rising cases. For the most part everyone is trying to keep a distance even though some hugs just inevitable for the kids they hope to be able to continue their school year as normally as possible. So emma this really is a big challenge for all parties involved so what plans are in place if there are outbreaks in schools after these reopening. Well as weve just heard over will or regions want to offer as much teaching i was within a disco last possible and avoid Distance Learning but of course in case of a new class of infection theres different scenarios that can happen in mecklenburg some time around now where the infection wait was at its lowest in 70 schools where in charge of organizing School Grades into college so too was a maximum of a couple of 100 students so that infection occur these would make possible to isolate only a section of the school and not the entire school but for example in very hour which was one of the west affected region in germany should an infection occur the whole school would be closed. Our correspondent emma reporting for us there thank you so much thank you.

The news is rock spain juan carlos a former spanish king is going into exile its not been announced where hes heading he says hes done so to protect the money from scandal but hes decision has outraged many spaniards who are simply mad this is really bad he should pay the money back. On it i think i say that. Its a high speed decision he should stay and defend himself in court like the rest of us or you. Prosecutors have long been investigating kuan col loss the monarchy is facing accusations he took a kickback from saudi arabia when Spanish Companies won a contract to build around the way between mecca and medina there the kings former lover could its a sign of it can stein is suspected to have received the broad money spanish journalists were given late types which she admits helping to hide the some. The king made a fortune especially in the United Arab Emirates and the gulf states and also saudi arabia. He septic gifts and donations and then he set up an elaborate financial structure to conceal that money. Save me i dont see. That its republicans have been capitalizing on the royal scandal by organizing protests against the royal family they are hoping spaniards have had enough. Of the corruption doesnt just involve a few bad apples demonstrating against the money he has a corrupt system of innocence and they want to. Punk carlos allegedly continued to finance a lavish lifestyle with the laundered money after he abdicated the throne he could still face charges of the matter but now hes put a little distance between himself and son King Philippe and between himself and prosecutors. Well long before the scandal one catalyst used to be a unifying figure in spain particularly in the 1980 s. Earlier we spoke to the last case a spanish journalist based in madrid and asked him what this development meant for the royal family and the country yeah definitely. Was one of the most prominent figures in it spain and was able to glue to gether.

Youre watching news still to come on our show we visit a giant statue of blood us out for demolition in china with us heartland it is part of beijings clamp down on the ledge and spirituality. But 1st in bolivia the Health Care System has been overwhelmed by the corona virus pandemic most of the more than 80000 infections are in the capital where hospitals laboratories and Funeral Homes are close to collapse in just 5 days the police collected more than 140 bodies from the streets. In this car a 68 year old man has died as a result of cope with 19 he never made it to hospital just a few hours earlier a friend and Family Members had tried to get him help at 5 medical centers but they were denied. Because all the hospitals are full we were sent to the hospitals in la porte dadda and in cold to houma he stopped breathing when we were underway and thats why were here the dead mans sister says her goodbyes while the police examined the corpse. And officer hands over the death certificate since the coroner hasnt turned up the officer says people arent just dying in their cars theyre also dying on the street and at home hospitals are at breaking point and its becoming harder to access treatment but even searching for help people often go from one hospital to the other some of them die in their cars are Department Records deaths that occur in private vehicles and on Public Transportation but that is if you go. Bolivias currently in the Community Transmission phase santa cruz la paz and are the worst affected regions the average age of death is about 75. 00 with more men dying than women. Rebeccas father died in his home because no hospital in alto would admit him. And we can do is bury him thats all we can do my fathers no longer with me. These stories of being shuttled from hospital to hospital are repeated every day during the pandemic and theres no end in sight cemeteries are almost full and funeral parlors have run out of coffins. This man complains that he had to say goodbye to a Family Member in a particularly painful way. They simply put him in an improvised box you cant even barter with them about the price saying youre willing to pay for better but there is nothing else better than an annoying. Family members arent even allowed to enter cemeteries and they have to say their final goodbyes from afar tossing flowers at the perception of cars bringing in the bodies for burial and every day police pick up an average of 70 bodies from the streets 85 percent of them infected with covert 19. For more on the story we have have yet to give us from w. Latin america with us high have yet those are really troubling images what do we know about regional differences and fatalities well as far as the official figures go we could say that the urban regions the most populous cities like santa cruz and the which is adjacent to the bus are the ones that are most affected but lets not forget that on top of the hospital crisis we also have a crisis in the testing abilities of the government and in the management of statistics so we really dont know to what extent this is spread out throughout the country and unfortunately the images like those of corpses on the street that come from many parts of the country are probably a more reliable source of information to know whats going on in the country than the official figures while many bolivians are desperate some are turning to chlorine dioxide which is a toxic disinfectant to treat the virus i mean how worth already is responding to that well the official position of the government and of the Health Ministry is urging people of course not to take it but lets not forget that there is a political problem in bolivia as well a political crisis actually where there is only an interim government and the opposition which holds the majority in Congress Just passed legislation thats a populist move to help people out that allows for the production and sales of that substance so people are taking it and that is of course a major problem because of 2 reasons 1st of all because bolivia lets not forget has a high indigenous tradition which reliance on alternative medicine in general so they are more prone to maybe not going to have an official doctor if you will in general and the 2nd big problem is that we have a country in the livia with more than 30 official languages so getting a message across like do not take this medication or wear a mask or prevent the covert spread is more difficult than in other countries we mentioned the political crisis in bolivia i mean what is the political fallout been from this well there is a big political fallout the 1st and most tangible thing is that the election that should have been held in september has now been moved to october we dont know if thats actually. Going to happen and in the meantime of course there is political confrontation and this is a very important problem because in this whole Coronavirus Crisis trust in government is key you have to trust the authorities in what they are telling you and the opposition which holds the majority in congress and also the majority of intention and votes they have to discredit the government that is their political role they have to say these are the guys that are responsible for this and listen to us so that imminently leads to a confrontation of positions and leads to confusion among the population we are seeing more protests also riots for example in prisons where people are getting infected and this all contributes to that mistrust in the government that ultimately causes deaths and harsher spread of the virus and what do you see the government doing to battle that issue of mistrust among the population well they are trying their best but lets not forget that in the government itself we have seen the interim president genuinely is infected with the virus as much as 8 ministries or ministers also. Spreading the virus so it is very difficult to gain the confidence especially because they are also losing in the polls and i think the only real solution would be an election to regain the trust of the population how do you give us from the latin america thank you so much for sharing that reporting with us. Lets get some other headlines now from around the world and north korea appears to be making progress developing Nuclear Weapons thats according to a classified report by experts monitoring u. N. Sanctions they say the country is likely to have created Small Nuclear devices to fit into the warheads of its a list 6 missiles. And a typhoon how do you put made landfall on chinas eastern coast early on to say bringing high winds and heavy rains it is now weekend and is being described as a Tropical Storm as it heads towards chinas Financial Capital shanghai. And in china the government is not only cracking down on muslims fought on other religions as well as it pushes to assert communist ideology but just temples have been closed or demolished while a campaign has been launched to destroy hundreds of statues of buddha the destruction of the giant kuan yin has drawn International Condemnation as we hear from correspondent my t. S. P. You mean is a devout buddhist view is not his real name hes afraid of repercussions in his hometown of xian buddhists have come under pressure from the government since they started protesting against the destruction of the buddhist site on the outskirts of the city 3 faced statue of one year in the date of mercy in chinese buddhism is being demolished suddenly the government fence the statue off theyre doing works inside but they have not told anyone about the reasons for the destruction its left us buddhists and those who worship the goddess one year inside and outside quite bewildered. The 3 faced quarantine and the adjacent monastery were built in 2002 when a company donated the giant statue to the Buddhist Community made of white jade it quickly became famous. I am trying to get a look at the site the statue is located in a mountainous region about an hours drive from the city center. The decision to build the statue here in these mountains was not a coincidence goodison has a long history in. This area is Something Like the cradle of chinese orders and many of the buddhist classics with 1st translated from sanskrit into chinese in monasteries located in this area as we approach the statue we see security guards posted at the roadside stopping and taking pictures of the demolition is strictly prohibited the government does not want these images to spread on social media we can only film out of the car window. It is unclear how far the demolition has already gone activists have written to the governmen
