And rounded up and thrown in jail the un joins calls for the release of human rights activists in india. Specialists from Mainland China have started arriving in hong kong to help contain a resurgence of corona virus infections 125 cases were confirmed on saturday the 11th day in a row cases have been in the triple digits the trees expanding testing and making it free for its 7 and a half 1000000 people the expo center has been turned into a makeshift hospital. Divya palms joins us now live from hong kong so how would you know whats behind the rise in these cases again. Well according to experts and are all of just who are studying the matter and wondering why hong kong suddenly has been hit by this socalled 3rd and deadliest wave there underlining the fact that there were certain flaws in hong kong trying to contain the previous wave and keep the numbers low for one thing the quarantining system was flawed about 200000 people were exempt from quarantine they included airline crew seafarers and Business People coming over from Mainland China it also pointed out that border land borders from Mainland China also remains open so these are some of the poor points that they made that could have led to this latest wave but the concern now here sammy is that there is a lot of concern concern about tracking and tracing it as to where these domestic clusters are coming from previously could directly pinpoint to where the latest outbreak was coming from and also contain it but now due to the fact that most of the cases are domestic theyre transmitted locally theyre finding it difficult to make contain that which is why theres this drive to try and test all of hong kongs residents up to 7500000 people to try and contain this latest outbreak and how do people feel about receiving assistance from the mainland now. Right so one of the things theyre doing is setting up these makeshift hospitals and this widespread sest thing and the government says in order to do that they need help from mainland officials and mainland expertise and in fact it is mainland experts who have set up this latest makeshift hospital near the airport at one of the expo sites with about 500 beds today itself some of those experts have arrived in hong kong about 60 will come in total and along with them there also be experts from thats where the virus 1st surfaced at the end of last year they will be here to build other makeshift centers and Treatment Centers and set up what they call these cabin hospitals but theres also a lot of concern about the due to the fact that activists say and certain politicians are also saying that hong kong people were not consulted as far as bringing in these mainland experts and officials to help also it didnt go through the general government process where it goes through the Legislative Council theres also questions about what the larger intention would be in that if you recall at the beginning or last month beijing had unilaterally imposed and National Security law in hong kong thats costs a lot of concern and suspicion people are now saying and there are certain groups quite actively saying on social media and quite vocally that this is all part of chinas move to extend its influence over hong kong including adding to this National Database that china has d. N. A. Database and trying to include hong kong in that database theres concern about personal personal privacy about surveillance and about the fact that hong kong peoples personal information will be used for other means all right thanks so much to the problem there.

Just a few days ago ministers decided to implement mandatory covert 19 tests for everyone flying to germany from high risk areas and in the state of bavaria the Prime Minister singled out what he considers the danger of thinking the threat from the virus is either over or exaggerated. We need to be. Careful that many individual cases in germany dont become a slowly progressing 2nd wave the main reason is that unreasonable behavior carelessness and in some cases a conscious decision to ignore hygiene protocols are unfortunately on the rise. Opinion polls suggest many germans support that view 87 percent think its right to wear masks in public 73 percent agree a mass the most covering is helpful but not these crowds in berlin for them what matters is their personal freedom to not wear a mask if they dont want to and to resist the very social distancing the vast majority of their fellow citizens accept dominic came out zira berlin calls for the israeli Prime Minister to step down are growing louder for a 3rd week in a row thousands of demonstrators have gathered outside Benyamin Netanyahu is official residents demanding his resignation its the largest protest in israel for a decade many people are frustrated by the governments handling of the corona Virus Outbreak theyre also upset netanyahu is still in power while facing corruption charges Police Forced out protesters early on sunday curry forces reports from west jerusalem.
