Also coming up the explosive odio recording us President Donald Trump admitting that he downplayed the deadly threat from the coronavirus that he concealed the truth from the public but the president has never lied to the American Public on coded the president s been very the president was expressing common his actions reflect that. To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with smoke and ashes and thousands of people who were once again without a home on tuesday night the migrant camp on the greek island of lesbos coldfire by daybreak the extent of the destruction was visible the overcrowding camp built for 3000 which had become home 212000 was completely destroyed maria was europes largest refugee camp but it was never designed or built to be that for years its over crowned in squalid conditions had triggered warning after warning of a humanitarian disaster in the. The coronavirus pandemic had added yet another layer of danger in fear or now that humanitarian disaster has happened what will you do about it for some now is the time for soul searching in the face of europes lack of empathy for the plight of refugees for others the smoke will send a signal to would be migrants telling them to think twice before they head for the shores of europe our coverage begins tonight with this report daylight reveals the devastation morea lies in ruins it was a temporary home for over 12000. 00 migrants stuck on the greek island of less boss human Rights Groups have long deployed conditions in the overcrowded camps operating at 4 times its intended capacity. Overnight several shocks went up in flames before the entire camp began to. Winds reaching 70 Kilometers Per Hour fanned the flames forcing thousands to flee. Here or there. It is for our 1st night here. Are our. Feet is. The inhabitants headed to nearby hills and woods others began walking to the islands capital mytilene e. Riot police were deployed along the roads i mean fears that the camps residents might spread the coronavirus across the island last week moria was placed under lockdown after 35 cases were detected in the camp. As day broke some residents return to search for belongings among the remains of the fire has been put out but over 12000 migrants are now left homeless once more in their lives they have nowhere to go. What next for moria is a question many have been posing for years and. Has now become. Well the camp was built to cope with president a number of people who fled war and tried to reach europe back in 2015 the trails of migrants making their way through Eastern Europe seemed endless spent many never reached their destination the perilous journey by boat across the mediterranean claimed more than 3700. 00 lives that year and at the end of august police in austria made a gruesome discovery the bodies of 7 words into a truck on its way from hungary to germany. The news sent shock waves around the world and it prompted european leaders to act. Its a humanitarian tragedy that has influenced european politics like no longer a procession of migrants and refugees hoping to find a new hold believe you but a crisis that peaked in 2015. For 5 years now hundreds of reporters myself included have been trying to shed some light on the policies that e. U. Member states and institutions have been trying to come up with in response to these pictures so lets take a look at what has actually changed since 2015 is the e. U. Any better prepared for a new major increase in migration flows today one thing that here Member States here at the European Council in brussels have all agreed on is strengthening the use external borders part of that strategy has been a landmark deal with turkey to prevent migrants on Asylum Seekers from entering the e. U. In the 1st place and despite the recent drought over what exactly turkey gets in return apart from Financial Aid for refugees in turkey the effect has been a dramatic decrease in the number of a rifles. Preventing people from heading for europe is now a common condition that the e. U. Ties to economic partnerships and Even Development 8 particularly when it comes to african countries its also why they fund the libyan coast guard proactive search and rescue operations like this one along the Central Mediterranean route you have in china practically stopped so europes fortress is stronger than ever but what about europes ideals human rights protection from War International conventions the e. U. Commissions plan was that Reception Centers like this one on the greek island of less force would welcome Asylum Seekers in a dignified manner and process their Police Station forms quickly but more europes biggest camp for displaced people became a sprawling symbol. A failure even before the devastating fire and a recent covered 19 locked down built to house 3000 some 12000 people were living here rather than days it took often years to process applications thanks to see indifference but above all a lack of political will of this human suffering is the result of dysfunctional legislation the Current System known as the doppler regulation stipulates that most people must claim asylum in their country of arrival but states with extra no borders like italy or greece say thats just not fair so in the heat of the crisis the huge rights to bring in relocation quote us with each country taking vast share of refugees and migrants based on their g. D. P. And population but the idea crashed and burned hungary the Czech Republic slovakia and poland refused to accept refugees or abide by the rules now its done only on a voluntary basis 5 years on the e. U. Remains deeply divided on the issue take the coronavirus pandemic already some Member States have been using the virus as an excuse to bring in tougher controls without epidemiological justification after countless delays the e. U. Commission is expected to finally bring forward its new pact on migration and asylum at the end of the month. Its president was a life on the line is adamant that he uses asylum system needs a fresh start. And for more now im joined by eric Mark Lawrence he is a member of the greens and a member of the European Parliament mr norcrosss good to have you on the program youve been to moria before youve seen firsthand the deplorable conditions there did you think that a disaster like this fire was inevitable was it just a matter of time. I actually did not only think that this kind of protest would happen but he said it in interviews in my many humans having organization said that the situation we have is a big problem and that this kind of catastrophe can happen and every time so we did not know how this catastrophe would happen but as it is was just a question of time when Something Like this happens and was very clear who do you blame for the conditions that allowed this disaster i think its a difficult question actually so of course you can say ok they have people who try to put some trials in the camp and in the end they are responsible you can say that you know that we sponsor the settings a camp on fire as a politician and as a member of so you can see him and to follow the political debates about you can assign him system as a condition that takes time and bought us for quite a long time i must say that im not very interested in doing the police work now and seeing who its a fire im interested in talking about the situation where you can Member States and governments where also we in the ukraine polity men were not able to react to this situation to this catastrophe and i think in the end its a political disaster and we should feel ashamed for that i mean this doesnt this expose one of the European Unions greatest failures i mean this is what happens when some members of the e. U. Refused to take the migrants and lead other members of his greece to deal with the reality on the ground do you agree. I would say that its not only a few Member States who did not we locate people from greece on the big island especially its all of them so there were some in the states that said ok we take some unaccompanied 9 outs but in the end we cannot say ok we have no unified positions on our side and policy for quite a long time for 4 years so you can Member States do not find a position in the commission as a position that you can find and has a position and sleepy Member States are not able to find a unified position and they are also not able to see said when you have conditions where theres not enough water where there is no education for the children where there is no Fire Protection system that they could test if you would have an answer and somebody had to react so its like responsibility not from the u. P. A. Union and the others its their responsibility to everybody who has the possibility to have do you know who is going to take responsibility for these migrants now. What i have from today is pretty shocking actually so yesterday at night i received some photos from some friends and i said ok its as if a few minutes later. Says ok thats bigger than india and it was clear that almost the whole was burning and that we have 13000. 00 Homeless People who lost everything and the situation is that they just have no they have not even have a tent to sleep they have nothing left. And it seems that they have the 2nd night just without saying. I need a shamed as a politician i cannot do something that if i would be in government i would take immediate action to have these people make humanitarian aid but were not at all so. We. Also want to. People earlier this week 13000 shares were placed in front of the German Parliament building to symbolize the 13000 People Living in the camp the just went up in flames and you were involved with that demonstration having to wear face masks has brought thousands of protesters here to berlin recently. Was burned out refugees in greece well they get more attention than just a bunch of. So i come directly from a demonstration and the demonstration was 5 to 10000 people who were just shocked by this its not accidental but these are and the pictures they saw and the 5 to 10000 people was noble mobilization for one day and also in Different Countries in the cities in germany where they dont stray ssion so i think that we should understand that there lots of people. Who would be very proud when they can use their possibilities to help people in need and i think that the situation where we get so much from the fall i will give you all more every time when we talk about migration about the problem of migration but where we have a. Huge amount of people and possibilities to help poor people and i think it like genuine i dont care about people like doing demonstration prepays knots but i care about the dignity of people about human rights and i think that they are the basis of our societies and i think that many people are not again we look asian of these people actually yeah you know where the beads and you see if there is a mini type of public action now that this campaign has been destroyed eric mark fraud a member of the European Parliament mr murdoch we appreciate your time and your thoughts tonight thank you frank you. I think you know sort of he will not necessarily think i dont think thats the thats the greatest his thing. Actually nationally has done well if you look at other Nobel Laureates for example in the germ nothing so its no many asked in her personal life in the 1st miss and how he treats his life for nasa through other Nobel Peace Prize winning eclipse and you shouldnt ask for have rights or. Personal right for what he does for the rest if thats not true what he thats international. And that was the far right norwegian lawmaker christiane t. Bring yetta explaining why he has again nominated u. S. President donald trump for the Nobel Peace Prize he says trump should be considered because of his role in the Peace Agreement between israel and the United Arab Emirates and mr t. Bring you get a 1st nominated President Trump for the prize back in 28 teen for his efforts to bring reconciliation between north and south korea. Are lets take this story now to washington d. W. Correspondent Abbie Boudreau joins me now abbie good evening to you has there been reaction from the white house to this nomination for the president. Certainly a brand i mean they welcomed this nomination and they praised the israel u. A. E. Agreement that led to the norwegian m. P. To nominate trump in the 1st place and again it allows the white house and the administration to tout president traumas Foreign Policy prowess thats what theyve been doing and this homestretch going into the election they certainly did that when the argument agreement rather was initially signed her critics will certainly question how substantial of this agreement will be in bringing about lasting peace to the region especially given that the palestinians werent even invited to the table and that it could in fact hurt the overall Peace Process but the white house certainly doesnt see it that way brant the norwegian lawmaker nominating mr draw he is a far right member of the Norwegian Parliament no that would be reason enough for most politicians in the u. S. To disassociate themselves what about president ial. While hes not one to turn against anyone who is complimentary of him he hasnt actually mentioned the norwegian m. P. By name and neither has the white house and not press release the nomination process is worth noting here any politician working at the National Level can put forth a name for 2020 in particular there are more than 300 nominees so this is by no means a short list again as you mentioned earlier this is the same m. P. From norway who nominated tromp in 2018 back then he cited the president as a reason for improved relations on the Korean Peninsula but again as i mentioned in my 1st answer what kind of progress was actually made thats what critics are saying that north and south korea leaders did meet in a historic summit but in the end when kim jong un met with trump on 3 separate occasions he did so without making any major concessions and north korea continues to test missile and has not agreed to give up its Nuclear Program nor has it addressed Human Rights Violations so again there is a big gap between having summits and findings and seeing actual results on the ground that is indeed the truth trending on twitter at the moment is true. And we learned today that. Donald trump told the reporter bob woodward that he knew the coronavirus was dangerous and deadly and on march 19th he admitted to bob woodward that he had always wanted to play the devil so here we have the president admitting that he has concealed the truth about this pandemic. And its on tape brant trump spoke more than a dozen times with bob woodward for this book and bob woodward of course is a veteran journalist who broke the watergate story that ended up helping to push president nixon out of the white house and his new book reveals that in the days leading up to the lockdown and multiple states the president was downplaying the virus publicly but privately he seemed to understand and grasp the fact that it was a deadly disease and that it was an air Borne Disease so in the tape from mid march trump is heard saying quote i wanted to always play it down i still like playing it down because i dont want to create panic but again at the time he was still publicly saying that the corona virus was similar to the seasonal flu that it would disappear by summer that the u. S. Had it under control now were moving into mid september more than 189000 americans have died from the virus and there are nearly 6 and a half 1000000 cases and questions are swirling now about whether some americans particularly his supporters would have behaved differently had they heard him warn them sooner and trump spoke just a short while ago and he reiterated the fact that he just did not want to cause panic at the time that was what he was saying but again not panicking it doesnt mean not reacting we also heard from democratic president ial candidate joe biden he was asked about this tape and he called it quote a life and death betrayal of the American People to be used. To 14 from washington tonight. Explosive words there from the president abbi thank you. Well believe it or nonce despite the pandemic a Film Festival is now underway in italy the venice Film Festival is the 1st major Film Festival to be held since the world went into pandemic lockdown a german film entitled and tomorrow the entire world is in the running for the top prize the golden lions julian hynes his film tells the story of a student who joins left wing activists fighting white we stream is in germany but eventually shes forced to question hell far shes prepared to go to fight for her political ideals. I mean. Its all right joining me now from venice is our movie guru to be reporter scott runs for a good evening to you scott tell us more about why the director selected this topic looking at extremism in the political spectrum yeah hi brenda it was interesting i was able to talk to the director julie of on heintz before the premiere of the film here in venice and she said she thought the topic was so important to tell now because she feels that the biggest question the biggest political question in germany at the moment is how to fight right wing extremism and she said it was so vital to have this film out now because of the surge in support for right wing ideology in germany lets have a listen to what she had to say. Content device in germany 13 percent of voters who support a far right party is a seat in the National Parliament and in the federal states thats new they used to be fringe parties now theyre becoming mainstream it doesnt mean it is not of people were killed in the and in how much you tried to force his way into a synagogue you might be going how do you think the escalating right now. Scott is this film is it only biographically inspired. Yes very much so the director was a member of the far Left Activist Group thats depicted in the film of course this may become famous also because of attacks from donald trump against it she spent 10 years with with the movement she assured me that she was never told any violent actions and that the violence thats the picture in the film is not something that she personally experience but she said she took direct inspiration emotional inspiration for her character in the film and said that the the questions that the young woman in the film face particularly the big question how far are you willing to go to defend and to fight for the the things that you believe in and she said that comes directly from her own personal experience yeah interesting so lets talk about all of these films what are your favorites to win the golden lion did she. Yeah its a new very interesting year because typically we have a lot of big hollywood films last year joker of course was here and one that has we dont have those films here this year because of corona so weve got a lot of very sort of personal artist movies and very political movies here and i think probably will have one of the other winning on my 2 picks for them would be on the personal side pieces of a woman a very delicate story about trauma about a woman who loses a child and what that does to her and to her family starring Vanessa Kirby in a role i that for me is a breakout role for her i think shes the shoo in to win the best actress prize and on the political side i picked a documentary. By an italian a documentary filmmaker he made a famous film fire at sea about Syrian Refugees trying to escape to europe here hes gone to the people who didnt leave their countries to who are trying to survive in the war zones of the middle east a very powerful movie that really goes far far deeper than were used to seeing the refugee crisis and look at the real human faces behind the strategy those are my 2 picks for gold mine but of course well find out who wins in a couple days time all right student news gone wrong with the latest from the venice Film Festival tonight in venice thank you very much stay safe.

What a great novelty it was to work from home for the 1st time to be able to plunk yourself on the sofa open up your laptop and just get down to business but it didnt take long for the reality of the situation to sink in for many of us a krone virus pandemic has changed our professional day today into something thats barely recognizable from before the world of work 2020. Topic today here on made welcome along. So we all worry about our jobs in these Uncertain Times but the many refugees whove come to germany in recent years have had a different set of worries for a start theyve often arrived empty handed and had to find work in a completely strange environment but for some things change very quickly fading is a 4 years ago our reporter mario hooter metz to refugees from syria who found work an apostle sorting center in magnifique we met with him again recently one of them is still working that. Its another busy day at work for unless im out of. Him and you know that a 3rd of the workforce at this parcel sorting office in mock the poor girl refugees like honest who is from syria hes now responsible for 14 people and says there are Career Opportunities for everyone here. In london we just think that if you show you have the potential. For modeling you can really go far here come out of this all started back in 2016 on a starter not putting parcels under conveyor belts his 1st job in germany in damascus hed been studying for an engineering degree before the civil war forced him to flee the country. All the young people with michael they must go to the military and we dont want to go and kill other people so thats why i decided to leave working alongside him back then was fellow syrian guys diop 4 years on hes moved on from the Parcel Sorting Center and now knows better working hours. And no more night shifts. Formerly the owner of a phone shop in syria hes know set up his own business in germany a car repair workshop called dr auto it offers amateur car mechanics the use of car lifts and tools and he has plans for expansion. And of us i want to set up a 2nd shop offering express services. So i could tire change in 10 minutes or an oil change in 10 minutes. But there are obstacles in his way not least the bureaucracy he still only has a temporary residence permit which is bad for business thats looking feel ish its really difficult oh i had a lot of ideas for my workshop and bought everything myself. Except for 5000 euros from the job center so i asked all the banks for a loan but they said no. You havent why because you dont have german citizenship or permanent residence permit. Thats a. Guy a story obvious determined to keep on investing and ideally get that german citizenship. Now hes very settled in monte borg and says he no longer sees a future for himself in syria. Its been the. Scene in germany for 6 years now. Syria is a total disaster theres no water electricity its really tough. But now my family and i have everything we need. Now its better here. After leaving syria 6 years ago he was able to bring his family over to join him in germany his youngest daughter was born here. Shes now 4 years old. She and her brothers have grown up bilingual. I only have a couple of friends he speak at that at school i mainly speak german. So its the diopter see germany as their new home even if theyve not always enjoyed a warm welcome they have encountered hostility but are reluctant to talk about it preferring to tell us about relations with their neighbors. That it would take time for distance at 1st but thats all changed for the better now. Photos from the past. Most of their old friends have left syria and now live all across europe but the dire aabs have at least been able to stay together. Still thinks about syria a lot. Those are the thats what it looks like now and this is in damascus deciding to make the perilous journey to europe was not easy. If you divide mine you could say ok all hope is lost and ill end up killing myself here im sure overcorrecting some people do think that but if you do have a small bit of hope then you say i have to get out because most want us to. Run as his own journey took him across 8 countries hes not seen his parents or his younger brothers and sisters for years. And thats. The man they did so you just cant help thinking about syria. But owners does find ways of getting his mind off the worry so it is hard work which will hopefully also see him continue his rise through the ranks at the moment the book sorting office. And good luck to him now Office Workers make up half of germanys workforce and its hard to imagine a time without them but how long have offices existed here on earth invented them and will they still be with us far into the future and raise no house has the answer. The office past present and future. Offices have been around for a long time in ancient rome parchment scrolls along with the wooden or bronze tablets were kept in them during the middle ages scribes would copy out texts from the bible in offices in the 17th century lawyers Civil Servants and Business People set up offices in cities such as amsterdam london and paris. Offices were exclusively for work separate rooms that allowed people to work alone and undisturbed. Open plan offices emerged in the 20th century u. S. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed a record setting office block in which 250 people worked in one room. Office buildings are intended to symbolize wealth and power but designed to maximize efficiency and productivity a production line for paper work. Open plan offices are not well liked nowadays in germany theyre often noisy and dark workers feel cramped and constantly observed by bosses and coworkers will the pandemic mean the end for the office half of german Office Workers have been working from home to reduce the risk of infection. This saves time normally spent commuting to work and can better combine work and family some 77 percent of people whove tried it say they enjoy working from home. They might miss being together with their colleagues but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages the office of the future might start to look a lot like home. Absolutely nothing against my marvelous colleagues here mate but working from home does have its advantages that all some things you can do that might be frowned upon and a normal workplace as our very own olaf creek can testify. More good morning. Morning so whats on the agenda today. Very interesting. Yes very interesting. Ok today im going to play a very ingenious a very ingenious opening. To. My nights goes that. You have a dust yes was drunk i think thats a really good idea we should definitely do it that way yes definitely. Say something on the chat show that you know that Something Interesting even if you dont really know what its all about i dont always know. Yeah yes lets do it was gunk right. Check. Off. Of all theres so many things to consider listen on sui have to be more involved. Get things in order to get it all its also about take these initiatives. I think we have to get you know involved in any. One source and sometimes their ideas dry as dust. Beside mine we should make a show about food about ads what do you think about it right. Ya what are. The offing oh yes i agree. Months from elsewhere else apart from a chat do you get a chance to give goddess of break and do something nice for yourself. Once it might screw to some time. Or very yes i know if anyone asked you to show it on your camera. Song its gonna come its from. Our. Very serious. Last 10. Yes thats a very interesting topic that the members and we should i think about that definitely very nice. Well if it is to feed it and when it gets to be too much go offline with pleasure you can tell them no internet no exceptions nothing you have to take care of your brakes yourself. So i know home Office Working from home has plenty of advantages much becomes the longer you dont have to travel to work you dont need to wear a suit lets you and if i want a great chance got so much done lots of great new ideas new concepts super classic if you have certainly got a lot on opposite q include a cook to deal with i just have to empty the washing machine. Gun thats exactly what we did you take care we talk again tomorrow good bye everyone. Point yes and now the camera really should be off. So watch that web cam for some of us this is all we have a wanted flexible workplaces and Flexible Working hours before the coronavirus working from home was the big exception but now at a single strike thats all changed Business School in New York University of analyzed the work of more than 3000000 people around the world before the pandemic and now they found that on average people working from home tend to work one hour longer per day meetings usually have more participants than they did before the crisis and theyre also more of them but on the up side meetings are on average shorter. The pandemic has accelerated digitalisation more than you. Put together suddenly digital processes that werent even considered before become possible but digital work during the Coronavirus Crisis has exposed a real lack of skilled workers in the area now looking for professional if you can drive digitalisation. Boot camp to find out more.
