Sirens blare and polands capital marking one of the countrys most solemn occasions 76 years ago the warsaw uprising against nazi occupation began. Use of welcome to the show here in germany theres been a sharp spike in the number of new corona virus infections countries pub leading Public Health institute is warning that people are letting down their guard and not observing social distancing measures now despite these developments in central berlin today thousands of people were out on the street protesting against Restrictions Police broke up the event after many protests and participants ignored hygiene and distancing rules. We are free people chance this crowd during the coronavirus pandemic they say wearing a mask and hearing to restrictions is violating that freedom and it seems thousands agree the mixture of conspiracy theorists far right figures and citizens concerned by the economic effects of the lock down took to the streets of berlin to say the corona virus has been a false alarm. First just plain scare tactics i dont see any danger i dont know any sick people i knew many sick people in march is vacationers there was really something going on in february and now theres no sick people anymore. Ive got a friend who is 93 shes in a care home in her room totally isolated theres no corona in our home and yet she wasnt allowed to leave her room now shes allowed to go out for a walk again but if she meets someone she has to give their address i think thats extreme. Right. Now demand is back to democracy get rid of the laws that restrict us to get rid of them are expect us into slaves. Hardly any of the demonstrators were wearing face masks or adhering to social distancing protocols early in police attempted to enforce distancing measures over megaphones eventually dissolving the protest and telling people to go home german politicians mostly condemned the demonstration saying that it risks harming germanys relative success or handling the outbreak. That success might just be why these people feel impatient to get back to normal life with a fresh spark in coded cases across the country a gathering of thousands of people not Wearing Masks could jeopardize the freedoms germans are enjoying compared to many other countries hit by the pandemic. Our reporter they only fun hammerstein was at the protest and spoke to people there a lot of the. People i talked to many of them really just concerned about the coronavirus restrictions being put in place by the German Government theyre saying well coronavirus numbers we have a situation here under control theyre not diluting the existence of the of the virus and saying we need these measures too and they worried about their children not being able to go to school theyre worried about their parents not being able to see people but this has been used by other groups by conspiracy theorists to capitalize on by fire right groups with mobilize for this protest. Now to talk to general manager for the u. S. Market said the company is quote not planning on going anywhere thats after u. S. President donald trump announced he plans to ban the chinese own video app because of security concerns u. S. Officials are currently looking into whether to talk could be used by the Chinese Government as a tool for gathering intelligence. To talk with its viral dance routines and political activism is a favorite among teenagers worldwide but with more than 2000000000. 00 in loads and 17000000000. 00 in revenue last year the app is extremely successful and influential but its exploding popularity has also raised red flags in the u. S. Officials are investigating whether text talk is a threat to National Security there are concerns that the Data Collected by the app owned by the chinese for by could be accessed by beijing the Company Denies any connection with the Chinese Government but donald trump is threatening to ban the out in the u. S. Well look you know we may be betting we may be doing some other things. But a lot of things are happening so well see what happens but we are looking at a lot of alternatives with respect to. One of those alternatives is spurred by to give up its ownership of the potential buyers are reportedly already in talks to take over including tech giant microsoft in the face of president ial threats to u. S. Assures its influencers and audience that this is not the end. We procure outpouring of support and we want to say thank you i will be playing im going. To talk to some creators and others to express their ideas and connect with people of different backgrounds and we are so proud 1 of all the various communities that call to talk there. Its not clear if President Trump. Actually has the executive power to ban the app in the u. S. But a National Security review of tech talk is expected to be presented to him in the coming days. And joining me from San Francisco is in a fried shes the chief Technology Correspondent for access hi you know thanks for joining us so we heard the head of to talk usa there say were not going anywhere how much of that is an empty promise well its certainly not entirely in tick tocks hands thats what they hope and theres reason to think that a deal should be able to be reached but that doesnt mean that in this administration it will happen who knows with donald trump what exactly is issue is and what will save it what will solve the issue for trump and weve heard reports that microsoft plans to buy to talk about this are in talks to do that the u. S. Operations anyway would that put an end to the security concerns of the u. S. Government has well i would have thought so but the administration has indicated in the last 24 hours that it doesnt solve their concerns im not really sure what their concerns are that a deal wouldnt solve but microsoft has apparently and ticktock have been in talks they thought they had a deal they thought they had a deal that would please the white house with by selling all of it stake perhaps some of its non china investors remaining investors and microsoft taking over which would seem to solve the Security Issues but that doesnt appear to be enough so its unclear what the Trump Administration once its unclear what their main issue is if its a National Security issue with microsoft owning its all that its really puzzling to be honest and ive covered tech for 20 years ok so despite the fact that its not exactly clear what they want what are the basic concerns of they have with tech talk in its current form. Well i think theres up to 3 concerns that the one thats being voiced is the National Concern or security concern that data of americans could end up in chinese hands the 2 other things that are at play here that dont get talked about are the broader trade war with china certainly the u. S. And china are at a low when it comes to relations and theres a lot of threats going back and forth about companies and then the 3rd is donald trump at a rally in tulsa and a bunch of popular to talk users managed to get free tickets so that the Trump Campaign thought they had the rally sold out and in fact it was pranked if you will and that may be weighing on the president s mind it may not but thats certainly an issue underneath the covers now its clear that this is still speculation at this point but what would that mean for users of the app and theres millions of them if it was banned would just disappear from their phones like what would that look like well its really would say i mean you know in theory the administration could use emergency economic powers to stop the app from being legally distributed so probably at a minimum would stop new people from downloading it its not clear whether they would force it also off off the air if you will and then you might see users turned a v. P. Ends because it would still be in lots of other countries you might see some of those creators go to other services which would seemingly play into the hands of facebook which just last week was the subject of antitrust hearings weve seen that facebook is also interested in duplicating other apps what it did to snap chat and now instagram is trying to duplicate some of the features of this app so could you foresee that there would be an alternative out there and that this might be one of the goals here. For sure i mean you know if ticktock actually does get banned i think you will see i mean the teens are going to suddenly shut their phones and go do Something Else so theyre going to go somewhere good to have facebook and rival it could be to a new start up in a fried chief tech correspondent with us in San Francisco thank you thanks now to some of the other stories making news around the world hurricane is a u.
