Washed out the true american astronaut seen making history successfully completing nasas 1st demand return from the i s s involving a private company. Its a pleasure to be with you we start here in germany where its the 1st day back at school for some children german states are beginning the. Process of reopening schools after the Summer Holiday but with the penn demick ongoing schools are having to adapt to a new normal after months of Online Learning and reduced in person class time germany has vowed to get kids back in the classroom by the end of the summer but it will be business as usual many schools will be starting with fewer classes and several states have already said students will be required to wear face masks. And the Education Minister of the 1st german state to open its schools again after the Summer Holidays joins me now. Right here in vision Bettina Martin a minister thank you so much for coming on 1st of all how did the 1st day of school go to most children return. And oh yeah well most all children returned and we had a very good 1st start and you said it we prepared this new school year very diligently with the experts and the help section and we had a very good 1st a very structured very or art of the everybody was very happy to finally get back to school its the 1st time that people were really looking forward to school this year and so many of them and it is mixed with. Looking how will it go and can we be safe and i can only be sure that our regulations that we gave into the schools to regulate school in the classroom such that people are safe safe that our children are safe that they are working and that we are constantly reviewing that its going to be safe in our schools that we can also return true to education because kids need education we had months of. You know days without school and its now the turn for the families and for the kids to go back to school and to have their right of education back absolutely but it has to be done safely of course now a lot of countries as you know are struggling with this question that you have now tackle trying to figure out how to reopen safely how are you keeping kids distance and are you keeping teachers safe how you going about doing that. Well 1st of all we accompany the whole thing with a strategy of testing all teachers are allowed to be tested if they want to its voluntary 5 times until the fall break then we do separate different groups we structure defined groups in the classroom so that the kids who dont belong to the same group dont meet each other during the school day and so also if something happens if theres an infection which we hold out hope but we cannot exclude the possibility that we can quickly find the chain of infection that we can close certain sections maybe of the school maybe a whole school but what we do want to avoid is to go back to a lockdown in the whole state now as you know for working parents a school is basically child care i mean nobody says it but thats the truth especially for those with Young Children so cant people in your constituency rely on you to keep the schools open because you just mentioned that you know there could be an outbreak and so you might have to close schools again. Well we do have the coronavirus in our society also in making a book for online even though i must say and really stress its our state is the state within germany that has the lowest figure stuff infection we came through this so far through this pandemic in a very good way and we want to keep this we want to be still leading in the states who have low figures. If we have to react we want to react fast if we know there is an infection we will close either a class one you know the class or the whole school and we will test quickly and it all has to go fast and its very important that we know the infection chains and this is in close cooperation with our Health Administrations in making the phone line in our state and. We do hope to avoid that we go back to a statewide lockdown but we also as a parallel are building up Digital Learning which is very important because if there is. A possible closing off the school we will have to teach dickinson that will be a Digital Learning nothing like face to face learning there so we do hope that you all stay healthy thank you so very much about you know martin Education Minister for western pomerania for joining us thank you minister thank you. And on a related note a debate has erupted here in germany after a big demonstration in the capital on saturday what restrictions on the right to Public Assembly are acceptable in a time of pandemic will thousands of people took to the streets of brolin protesting against pandemic restrictions refusing to wear masks while lawmakers from across the political spectrum lashed out at the protesters for failing to observe the cooling of virus rules.

Journalists and camera crews were also targeted a reporter at german public broadcast as that day f. Filmed the chants of shame on you and lou compressor on lying press. Here by armed with me there was a really diverse mix of people from the fall left to the far right we met people who were empty faxes people who believe bill gates is responsible then there were people who say there is no corona then there are people who say the measures im proportionate to support because i heard from use the card to sneak recruit on monday commentators were left asking can the speech even allowed the debate on how to deal with mass protests during the pandemic is now playing out of federal level. Kotick was an idiom criticism must always be possible in democracy in this respect the attitude of the German Government has not changed at all but the pitches that we had to see at the weekend unacceptable. Events for seeable from the beginning that the requirements will not be met or cannot be met then the question arises whether such a gathering can be allowed to.

Beaches and that was of course the star architect to renzo piano is speaking to you though the new bridge is being called a model for italy why. Well in part because it has been been designed later by that stock to take runs a piano now you might know him for being behind the shots in london the pump you center as well in paris layla so there is a real sense of pride now that he is involved in this project but he told us in the interview a short time ago that he was born in genoa this really was a Passion Projects for him he said he designed this bridge which is of course states of the ons in many ways to look like the hall of a ship from below he said that is symbolic of the fact that jenner is a poor city in fact hes hoping that the d. N. A. Of genoa is in this bridge now the construction manager told us as well that safety of course given its history is at the heart of the construction of this bridge it has robots running along both sides theyre designed to assess and assist with maintenance theyre also dehumidify is in place as well to limit the effects of corrosion would have been a contributing factor in the collapse of the marandi bridge 2 years ago you see this really is a considered a state of the os a model for the rest of a city is being described as not only because of the speed at which it was designed we were told bridges like this usually take 2 and a half years this one just over one year now the survey record time now what significance sheldon conclusion does this day have for general and lee at large. Right well on a practical level this bridge reconnects 2 sides of the city east and west it was a huge the logistical nightmare for People Living here being without this bridge its also a main artery linking gena what to the rest of northern italy and on 2 fronts some estimates suggest the know having this bridge cost the city up to 6000000 a day in revenue so there is that very practical logistical side of this bridge which makes it so important then of course there is the fact that the collapse really was and still is a National Trauma here in italy its cent sure quaids through anyone watching that disaster unfold it really highlighted the aging infrastructure here in its city and left so many people concerned about whether this could be repeated again in other parts of italy of course this is now this was considered the the most deadly the worst tragedy of its kind to hit its city in recent history said really is that sense of trauma that but on the other side of things this is also a Success Story a story that its really really needs at the moment after the Coronavirus Crisis which hits its really so badly so there really is that bittersweet sentiment the mixed emotions surrounding this integration hit today.
