The. Demonstrations have been held across cities including new york chicago and atlanta as protesters demand justice for what they call on warranted to police violence. That we want to. Stephanie months isnt Briana Taylors hometown of louisville kentucky we asked him why no Police Officers have been charged over her killing excellent question and i dont have an easy or simple answer for you because i dont know. Your experts dont know the attorney of the Taylor Family it doesnt really know and had to succumb to saying like this is a total disgrace this decision the attorney general of the state kentucky has said he followed the law the state law and there was no room and no space allowing him to charge any of those officers directly and that is key here directly to the death of Briona Taylor thats why we already have a charge off and danger meant in the 1st degree and 3 counts of this for one officer the other 2 werent even charged it is literally no chacha cant see any of the Law Enforcement involved in the death of Briana Taylor and of course this is not sitting well with anybody here people actually have an absolute loss how this can happen and no justice no peace this is what we heard all day long this is what were going to and we will hear this for the next few days and nights not only here in louisville kentucky im sure about that. Stuff on the months reporting there also in the u. S. President donald trump has again refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses novembers election trump was speaking at a News Conference and the white house. To see what happens you know that ive been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots or it is esther and arrive at the youve committed to making sure that theres a nice little word for all of the we want to get rid of the ballots and youll have a very transfer well have a very peaceful there wont be a transfer or frankly there will be a continuation of the ballots at a control you know it and you know knows it better than anybody else the democrats know it better than anybody. Question is. Do you want. To ask the question well. Lets talk about that with the dolphin u. S. Election team hi peter this has caused quite a stir in the u. S. Understandably so if you listen to what the president saying i mean why is he saying well i think you know without running the risk of sounding biased but i think really the most likely explanation is that the vote to reelection frankly looks very bumpy for trump at this point you know hes been trailing in the polls for months. Including in several key states and under normal circumstances you would kind of lean back and let the election take its course but we all know these are not normal circumstances these are not normal elections and so you know because of the pen demick were seeing a chute search and people who request who want to vote by mail. This means that we can effectively seeing the Election Results come in 2 ways so on election day its very likely that were going to see trump ahead because more republicans say that theyre going to vote in person but in the days in the weeks after that as the mail in ballots begin to get counted we know that democrats have shown a much bigger interest in voting by mail the election result could then show to bite and ultimately end up with biden as the winner and trump has really jumped on that to you know weeks of and so doubt about the integrity of mail in ballots he says that theyre susceptible to fraud theres no evidence to back this up looking at previous election trump itself has voted by mail in the past as recently as a spring in the florida primaries and you know still trump has again and again repeated that the only way the buy you can win is really if the election is rigged if mail in ballots or voting continues and. That he would not accept such results and this is unprecedented and biden made a statement yesterday that really illustrates just how in president it is you need to get on president times around and today that even not commit to be transfer of power mean losers reimagining the only more prudent. Thing being facetious i said what country are we here for. Says the most rational thing i. Want to know what is a good enough surprising thing. Peter lets play this scenario out if we get to that point if trump it President Trump is not reelected and he refuses to leave office what happened yeah this would be truly on target territory you know peaceful transfer of power is one of the absolute hallmarks of american democracy you know Political Science is in constitutional wars have been trying to game out the difference in areas what would happen if because we simply dont know according to the constitution if the president loses he ceases to be president or has to leave office by january 20th. A lot of people believe that trump wont wait so he wont let it come to that and so what is most likely is that he will try to use the Supreme Court to basically essentially challenge the Election Results as we saw in 2000 with george bush versus al gore and that is why it seems that he is raising really to fill the seats left they can we see here after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg you know before that you had. A balance of 4. Liberal judges versus 5 conservatives tilted or will tilt gets his nomination through and this really interim said as much yesterday saying that you know i think this will end up in the Supreme Court and i think its very important we have 9 justices so being very brazen about the fact that he is maybe going to try to game those uses for his political advantage and thats why Many Political service and democrats as well are hoping for a blowout for by to work for either side so really there is no ambiguity and theres no way to. Get a doll from our u. S. Election team thank you so much. Lets get around about some other stories making headlines around the world the u. S. State of california will ban the sale of all gasoline powered cars by the year 2035 governor gavin newsom signed executive order which is supposed to encourage drivers to switch to electric vehicles its the most aggressive legislation from any u. S. State in the fight against climate change. Protesters have gathered outside of Thailands Parliament calling for far reaching changes to the constitution lawmakers are voting on a series of amendments as a prodemocracy Movement Gathers force the protesters say the current constitution gives too much power to royalists unelected bureaucrats and the military instead of putting it in the hands of the people. Hong kong democracy activist joshua wang has been charged but released from custody on bail now wang was arrested for allegedly joining an unauthorized demonstration last october the 23 year old came to International Prominence as a teenage protest leader he was barred from running in district elections last year hes the most high profile campaigner detained since media tycoon jimmy lai was arrested last month now wong spoke to journalists after leaving hong kongs Central Police station there for cases that i need to face already says. Last june i left prison but no matter what have her and i will still continue the races and hope to let the world to know how hong kong is here is not to surrender even they cant cross us they can arrest us big a loss in prison but they are our. Commitment continue to fight for freedom and its time to let the world to know that how the judicial system is being weaponized to be the cure for the approach of peace to silence the voice of dissidents. Lets get the latest on the story now we have our correspondent standing by for us in hong kong good to see you joshua long has officially been charged but hes been released for now on bail can you tell us what exactly these charges are related to and what will happen next. But just how well will appear in Court Next Week cases now brought they will be heard at the end of this month just how long is now officially charged with. Participating in an authorised Assembly Last october which is almost a year ago last october 2019 so by that time a large number of protesters took to the streets to oppose a newly and. Also about a government in order to tackle the city why antigovernment and thats also one of the reason why. Its also accused of validating that particular anti mosque law and. During the time he was pressed an inside Police Station today and he told us that. The Police Officers actually showed him several news further just as evidence of his alleged offenses and not the only one under arrest today. And thats when activists in hong kong was also arrested what is the reason and will be charged. As well you see you mentioned to dissolve relates to something that happened a year ago so why are we seeing this now. What the timing is particularly concerning for many activists on the ground as this incident actually happened a year ago but the police waited until today to take action and make the arrest and why scout skepticism among local communities on the authority. Saying that they are now making use of this kind of a rest as a tactic to intimidate people from Tech Industry we are expecting 2 major protests next week people are calling for each other to commemorate the anniversary of the Umbrella Movement and also to protest on the annual Chinese National day so this is. Just wrong and you have to say they think this is a chile in fact imposed by the authorities. Reporting for us thank you very much. Well some democracy activists have already decided to leave hong kong 12 young people who tried to flee to taiwan by sea last month did not make it they were detained by chinese authorities since then theyve not been allowed to see their families or their lawyers. These old album is one of the few things connecting jason leo and his younger brother luke the man who has lost contact with his family over the last month the High School Student was among 12 detainees ranging in age from 16 to 33 intercepted by the chinese coast guard while a lashley by speedboat from hong kong to taiwan they were then sent into custody in Mainland China for what was termed illegal Border Crossing jesus brothers spent his 85th birthday in detention. We feel helpless my dad gets drunk when he looks at our family photos ive endured numerous sleepless nights because im worried that my bravo could be facing unfair treatment in Mainland China the worst scenario we can imagine is that we wont see my brother for a decade or more. His brother and most of the detainees are facing charges in hong kong relating to the n. T. Government protest last year the charges include arson and rioting one of the detainees was arrested last month under the sweeping National Security law imposed by beijing chinese authorities havent allowed any of them to meet lawyers hired by their families instead assigning government appointed lawyers the detainees families have been trying to get hong kong so far to use to help but think they became even more anxious when the Chinese ForeignMinistry Spokesman labeled a 12 a separatist jason sets the lawyer hired by his family has also been pressured to quit what the authorities consider to be a sensitive case. Its far fetched and irrelevant to call illegal Border Crossing separatism i think for 12 of them fled hong kong because they were losing confidence in the independence of the judiciary with the. Hong kong authorities have been different. Because those in custody are activists. They knew and Human Rights Office and the u. S. Secretary of state have both called on china to end short they will process and legal right it also concerned whether the issue will be asked diplomatically thats one of the detainees if a partner gets national. Posting good wishes is perhaps the very least the portress can do the main fortys have to decide whether to formally arrested detainees by 1st of all told which is the chinese festival and the traditional day off Family Reunion the opposition lawmaker is following the case but theres not optimistic. Theres a major reason why holcombe people came over last year to protest against it for those. Who dont trust. Their special. Nightmare come true they would definitely be used. To paying. Whole goal as a whole for the Democratic Movement a whole goal. Is to group to become a part of the chip as us china tensions gets worse. Ok lets get some more headlines now police in belarus have fired water cannon and tear gas and arrested more than 150. 00 people during protests against president aleksander look i shant goes unannounced inauguration the European Union says it does not recognize the question as president because the results of last months election were falsified. At least 380. 00 pilot whales beached off the australian island of tasmania have died rescuers have managed to save more than 80 of the animals but others are still such stuck in Shallow Water biologists must now decide how to dispose of the decomposing bodies which could be dangerous to marine life. And germanys economy minister to admire says he is self isolating after coming into contact with a coronavirus case a foreign minister is also quarantining after one of his bodyguards tested positive for the virus a boat minister say it is a precaution they are both tested negative for cover 90. 1 of ours infections are on the rise again in spain the capital madrid is worst affected authorities have introduced new restrictions but many residents say they are not happy they say the new measures on fairly target the poor. Madrid is now a city divided by invisible borders and there does Bridge Police are checking cars driving in and out of vijay cars. The district is in lockdown because of the high number of current virus infections residents can only leave to go to work school or to doctors this resident says she cant make sense of the measures. Its unfair nobody knows exactly who can go in or out or what is still allowed. By yet because is a poor neighborhood where many live in overcrowded conditions thats resulted in one of the highest infection rates in the city 6 times higher than more prosperous districts in the north many residents in by yet us have to travel to madrid to return neighborhoods for work often as cleaners or waiters many workers say the new rules are unreasonable. Everywhere its shameful so i have to take the metro to go to work i could infect myself or others whats the point of these measures. Its completely unjust other areas have also many cases only a lockdown in the whole of madrid would make sense. Many in the south of madrid feel discriminated against and neglected over the past years by year because Health Centers suffered several cuts to its budget a sign on the door worries that the clinic is down 5 doctors a fatal lack of staff in the midst of a pandemic. We are without doctors nurses and money pretty much everything we are exhausted. The class conflict has also reached madrids opera house. On sunday it hosted erin dition of verdi smashed bowl while the cheaper after tears were crammed. Down below in the most expensive seating areas there was plenty of space for social distancing.

In sports the super cup final was being played later on thursday in the hungarian capital budapest German League champions byron munich faced off against the via of spain its the 1st major european game to allow spectators since the pandemic began and not everyone thinks thats a good idea. Budapest is ready for a game like no other only a small number of fans are expected in the city the majority of them have opted to avoid the trip due to high numbers of coronavirus cases in the hungary in capital but despite the situation byron munich coach hansie flick has one focus. For us and i live in munich which is also a kind of coronavirus hot spot so its not too much different as we came here to play soccer because decisions are made elsewhere i think the team is doing pretty well and putting their entire focus on the game we have a goal and thats to win the super car the absolute off was. Strict measures will be in place for the match with byron munich and sylvia phones instructed to keep a safe distance wear masks and wash their hands those coming from abroad have to present a negative covert 19 test for hungary and government say the match will be safer than almost any other gathering but the countrys opposition say fans are being used as experimental rabbits to see how the corona virus spreads out of mass gatherings. The home gary and Health Care Leaders say together with the hungry in government and you wait for that this game can take place then obviously it can happen here but nobody knows where this will lead if it is an experiment then thats wrong you dont experiment with people. No matter what the outcome the 2020 super cup final will be a game like now whether. Now to the french singer Juliette Greco her career spanned more than half a century shes now died at the age of 93. 00 became famous singing some of frances most beloved songs in the bars of postwar paris she went on to become a National Icon and continue performing on stage until she suffered a stroke 4 years ago. This is how the world knew her dressed in black with a powerful voice and her hands moving as if they wanted to sing along. The citys. Yet to get it could move to paris after world war 2 and soon integrated into the capitals bohemian culture she felt at home in the smoky bars of sounds or monday parties intellectual hub there she became known as the muse of the existentialists leading existentialist jump at best come in and go all wrote songs for her. We were completely liberated we could say what we wanted do what we wanted we sat in the streets until dawn we talked and we laughed we were loud finally we were free. Her songs were political and intellectual something the french love her for but she never reached the popularity of other singers of her time like piaf because the career had its ups and downs just like her private life and her new love was jazz legend miles davis she was later married to the movie star mission. Will be remembered as one of frances cultural icons. Lets get a recap now of our top stories here and demonstrations break out across the United States after prosecutors in louisville bring no charges against police for the killings of Briana Taylor 2 Police Officers have been shot and wounded. In hong kong democracy activist josh moore won as been released from custody on bail was arrested for allegedly joining and an authorized demonstration last october. Coming up next our show focus on europe looks at the battle between greece and turkey over gas in the mediterranean thats in just a few minutes stage if you dont mean. Any searching for gold to acquire these. Skin its like a piece right there see that stuff in there during the clinton era time dividing and tradition goals past me. Having to live what they find enough and why its a great way to conquer existential fumes ive already forgotten all my problems some of the focus on the. Next couple of. Entering the conflict zone with tim sebastian. Welcome to this special edition of conflicts over the last 4 years weve interviewed several senior lebanese politicians about the mexico breakdown of their economy and their state institutions what they told us provides an unusually clear insights into the recent level ends in trucks of the crisis of the conflict zone. In 60 minutes called the d w. Conspiracy at the sony consulate oh body that will never be found. A plot connected to the highest levels of government why did journalist john shoghi have to die. Was threatened. Years later and the reasons are still unclear. The case of the german chancellor. Starts september 30th on w. Hello and a very warm welcome indeed to focus on europe with me peter craven and one of the Big Questions in europe in recent weeks has been could greece and turkey go to war in a bitter showdown of what appears to be largely gas and oil deposits in the eastern mediterranean. Now ankara had angered athens by sending a survey vessel into waters that greece believes to be its own that ship has since been withdrawn but both sides have stepped up their military presence in the region. Now turkey says the disputed deposits are within its Continental Shelf athens though for its part points to greek islands that live close to the Turkish Coast and on one of them cuss tello rate so we met an unlikely couple see cost and his wife 40 goal who are living proof that differences can be resolved peacefully. The greek island and holiday paradise cost to lower is the lies just off the Turkish Coast. When seacoast my office goes out in his boat hes always within sight of the turkish mainland he grew up on this island and is mighty proud of his home his wife. Comes from turkey when they 1st met they say it was love at 1st sight now they run a restaurant together and costello is though. Im sure our wedding was quite a surprise. Nothing like this has ever happened in the history of our region cashen just a lot of. People reacted well. With him all. Turks and greeks our neighbors here they say they need each other and they dont like to talk about the political tensions between the 2 countries. And im not politician enough to know how to solve the problem. But im certain the heads of government should then their rhetoric and find a solution together our government along with everyones people almost going to get over but on this island theres no escaping the crisis the dispute over natural gas reserves has prompted both countries to send troops and warships to the region many here worry that tensions could escalate out of control. It was an incident between the turkish frigates and the greek. Its highly probable Something Like that will happen again were going to. Try to got you know nobody at least not in greece once. Their view of castillo is though from the turkish side just 2 kilometers from cash the 7000. 00 plus townspeople have always thought of themselves as the larger half of castillo or is named mason turkish. But the ferries that carried turks and greeks back and forth have stopped running and not just because of the pandemic now Turkish Military helicopters buzz over the harbor and frigates patrol the waters. Owner and shams kill edge wish they could return to the days of harmonious coexistence with the greek side they came to cash 6 years ago and opened a scuba diving school. When they take their clients out to the best diving areas they cover half the distance to cost a lower. Now their boat alarms the greek coast guard. Shows anybody who didnt know the situation here would think a war is already underway through these helicopters and jets flying around but it isnt. This has a negative impact on truism normally the diving area would be full of tourist boats cruising about but today college and his customers have it all to themselves. The family moved here to the mediterranean coast from istanbul mainly so their son would enjoy a peaceful and carefree childhood side by side with their greek neighbors everything is really too bad we cant go over there because there really arent any problems between our 2 peoples all of us greeks and turks have friends on the other side cross party couples get married all the time how politics might ruin all of that. Turkish president to one continues directing harsh words and threats at his neighbors insisting on his countrys claim to the Natural Resources in the mediterranean greece also stakes its claims. Who opposes turkey. Only place his own population in danger. I say this very clearly. He will in time. Pay high price for it. Relations between greece and turkey have gone through difficult times before but its been a long time since theyve been as tense as they are now both locals and tourists agree. Thats why i just see this warship im curious to see whats there. But i feel i would feel more comfortable when they gave back on cause to lauras old seacoast mayotte hes and his wife are closing up shop for the day so they can spend time with their son theyre proud he speaks both languages theyd like to visit their family in turkey again but the corona pandemic has kept the border shut that causes enough problems they say the whole maritime dispute is just adding coal to the fire and everyone here needs turkey because we all Work Together with the turks just like we depend on the people going to catch up with god they also know this is just a loser. Theyre all were neighbors. The ghost may out east and back here she hope that both sides will manage to deescalate the situation soon that would be a happy turn of events for the entire region. And who is the resumption of e. U. Back talks between greece and turkey on their maritime dispute there is still hope that a peaceful resolution is on the horizon. Now this year germany is marking the reunification of the country that took place 3 decades ago the incredible and at times troubles a growing together of east and west germany that began after the fall of the berlin wall one legacy of that reunification can be found in the network of 16 National Parks several of which date back to that time such as the Hearts National park located right on the former east west border here dense woodlands have grown together faster perhaps than the people of the country around them. This is where the death strip used to run between east and west germany today its one of germanys largest nature reserves. Ever since the hots National Park was created 30 years ago biologists going to cause death has been making sure that what belongs to gather grows together. Thats an alpaca starts if the unique thing about this National Park is that were giving nature 24730. 00 hectares of space to unfold whoever it likes. To face it its rare for such a large area to pick completely untouched by the lumber industry and that nature has such free rein. When the National Park was created the staff had to start from scratch like here at the farm or death strip. In 1909 soldiers were still patrolling the border between east and west germany a stretch of no mans land 100 meters wide was to prevent people from escaping to west germany. The barbed wire and concrete fortifications were practically insurmountable. 3 decades later nature has filled this deadly zone with new life. Church trees really want the rice to the district was treated with herbicides and pesticides so heavily hardly anything could still grow here and yet so much has happened here in the past 30 years. And its not just the plants that are making a comeback several rare animal species are also reclaiming their Natural Habitats this hidden camera has captured the latest arrivals. A lynx around 200 years ago this predatory big cat had died out in the region but today more than 100 individuals have returned. Look the. Lived here in the hearts region for a long time. To live or killed off by humans it. Will be they deserved to be back in the hearts and so 99495. 00 we started reintroducing them and to build them. It was a successful undertaking which took a lot of hard work the biologists spent thousands of hours in the woods carefully documenting natures campaign to recapture its territory in the former border region. And yet the biggest challenge the staff at the National Park face still lies ahead of them dead trees as far as the eye can see here there used to be huge spruces but droughts and rising temperatures week into the trees and the bark beetles finish them off increasingly going to cost just stems the tides but educational work. Isnt science when you walk along here. If you look closely you can see that all your life is a merger where the old spruce trees have died out. Its a colossal task requiring that authorities from the former east and west Work Together more closely than ever without germanys reunification this would have been unthinkable. But we still need to be able to disagree sometimes otherwise we lose the pieces for new ideas because on ball before 3 to beat if everyone just agreed all the time wed never make any progress. The Journey Continues onwards to the National Parks highest point. 0 on route we passed by this former hotel. Takes us along inside back in the day he says decorated members of the east german state security or stars he would lodge here. Here they could take a holiday were spied from spying on fellow citizens. As i say it was the stars who pick shots who came to stay in. Time seems to have stood still in these rooms it still invokes bitter memories for the former east german citizen. A student when i was a student in my 6th term i had an encounter with the stars and they wanted me to spy on one of my friends and i refused or and i knew full well that that could have repercussions. Thats just something we live with order because this is her home the hearts. That its me. The finally at 1100 meters above sea level we reach our destination the brocken this listening post which used to be sealed off was used by east german and soviet secret services to intercept communications in the west. Today its right next door to the botanists pride and joy a garden with hundreds of plants. That are this means that over the past 30 years the brocken has regained some of its native features and its untouched nature that makes us really happy but is not done yet good to cast a carries on until one day what belongs together has grown together for good. Now staying on reunification and its intriguing to know that there was a short interlude just a few months after the fall of the berlin wall when the formerly communist east germany democratically elected its own parliament located in the old palace of the republic and its own head of state Sabina Hackman poll now 3 decades on shes been reflecting on that remarkable episode in german history and she too has been asking how well the 2 halves of one day sion have since been able to grow together. This is a been a bad month pool today hardly anyone recognizes the 74 year old as she strolled through berlins Brandenburg Gate and yet her biography is inextricably intertwined with germanys historic past she served as east germanys last parliamentary president and head of state shall you never thought id actually witness germanys reunification. Nobodys if you want a glimpse at life behind the iron curtain you need to go to a museum. At the interactive d. T. R. Museum on the banks of the sri river exhibitions with original artifacts take visitors on a trip back in time. So i mean a bad month for remembers it all too well and how faced by an overbearing oppressive state families and friends have to stick together. But even the most well curated museum trance can be that sense of community. But i left out one very nice state scramble museums can help preserve their collective memory but they cannot conserve the feelings and personal experiences of people who lived there and then thats why it is important to share these memories with the next generation 30 years after germanys reunification many are still keen to learn more about life back then young visitors are especially eager to hear the personal accounts of older generations for our generation it was mostly for media writer like for movies but thats always a very skewed perspective. So any way that you can actually get. Real. From someone who has experienced it. A lot of learned about east germany in school during history classes. But nobody in my family actually lived there its. Nice to have. The message and we should explain. To be aware of whats common is more order. Systems bring jame any remnants of this era have vanished like the former east German Parliament building
