North korea has confirmed that it has blown up an office that was set up to improve relations with south korea the joint Liaison Office was situated in the town of k song just north of the border solaced to retaliate if young and continues its aggression. A dramatic display of anger and more evidence that relations between north and south korea are exploding before our eyes. Only 2 years ago this building in the town of christ some just north of the border was open to great fun fair. It was meant to foster better relations between the 2 nations who were still technically at war. But on tuesday north Korean State Television confirmed the building had been destroyed. A move that forced soul to call an Emergency National Security Council meeting. Traduced along with kissel we sternly warned that we will respond strongly if north korea continues to take measures to aggravate the situation. Tension has been building for weeks as activists in the south ignored pleas from seoul and continued to add drop and t. P. O. Nyang propaganda over the border into the north. Last week p. R.

Neighbors russia and china are clearly concerned. North and south korea are the same people as a close neighbor china has always hoped that the Korean Peninsula would maintain peace and stability with you and the children some are wondering whether this is a crisis manufactured by north korea to distract attention from stalled Nuclear Talks between kim jong un and us President Trump whatever the russian north korea has yet again captured the worlds attention. President trump says hes going to cut the number of american troops in germany by nearly 10000 from current levels of about 35000 he said he was taking this step because berlin had failed to meet its defense spending commitments nato secretary general says Alliance Members will need to hold a discussion about how and when a withdrawal would take place. Presson trump and i discussed this issue during a phone call last week and my message will start today u. S. Presence in europe its good for europe but its also good for north america and United States because the transatlantic bomb is essential to the strength and the success of the alliance the United States and the president has announced what they have announced. But it remains but its not yet decided how and when and. This decision will be implemented and i expect this to be an issue that will be discussed at the upcoming defense minister all meeting. And i was spoken with the president. Spoke you know there are present to civil the u. S. Administration and i also spoke with the German Defense minister on the 5th ago called bobber so this is now an only going dialogue on d. C. Sure well president trying to move has shaken made when especially in germany the foreign minister heikal ma says he has received no detailed information about the troop withdrawal. For 70 years tens of thousands of american troops have been stationed in germany for europe their presence at bases like spangdahlem a guarantor of peace for the us and expression of its military might. On monday donald trump confirmed he would be withdrawing almost 10000. 00 of them blaming bear lens failure to meet its 2 percent need to defense spending commitments but he wrongly said it was indebted to the military alliance so germanys delinquent theyve been delinquent for years and they owe nato billions of dollars and they have to pay it so were protecting germany and illiquid that doesnt make sense but the u. S. Military presence in germany was a reginald a bulwark against the soviet threat during the cold war and continues to be a deterrent against potential russian aggression trump decision threatens to further strain the relationship between the 2 allies. Germany since its serenity since 1900 is a very Strong Partner and we would like to be handled all saw even and that with the United States this is not the way you treat your close partners. U. S. President s have long called for germany to increase defense spending but some suspect the latest decision is a reaction to german chancellor Angela Merkel refusal to attend the g. 7 summit that was to be hosted by the u. S. President later this month all trump seems to see. Not everybody else is systemic rival. For the. Personality. Is this is also part of the solution as policy so its about individuals or. Individuals to. Do self definition of what the American Interest seems to be which not clear if trump will be able to push through the troop withdrawal which faces stiff opposition in Congress Even members of his own party opposed the plan germany has launched a new track and trace app to fight the spread of the corona virus that technology can send warnings to users of bad been in close contact with anyone confirmed to have at the government hopes that will help shorten infection chains but the app is voluntary and as he has been finding out not all germans trust it this app is hope to become a game changer in germanys fight against corona it took much longer to develop than expected for security reasons the government says. The covert app uses bluetooth to determine which other smartphones are in the vicinity and for how long if an app use it tests positive for the corona virus other users who were in longer contact with that person get a warning message. All data is anonymised and only stored locally on each individual Smartphone Health minister a young spawn stressed that the app is no kill all. Despite that it is still important to observe the rules keep a distance where face masks and stick to the hygiene rules the key difference is that it can help warn contacts of an infected person much quicker than before. So. There is no obligation to use the corona warning out yet the government hopes that many people will do so. To download the app is one small step for everyone but believe in fighting the pandemic when the users can trust in the best Data Protection possible. According to recent survey only 42 percent of people in germany intend to download the app. That came in just this whole coronavirus thing seems very strange to being so i wouldnt be interested in the yap for security reasons. And its too much surveillance is going to stop and thats like instagram most maps have use all my data anyway so its the same thing. While the launch of germanys marks a new approach to fighting covert 19 it appears far from offering an answer to the pandemic. For more on the story we can speak now to bag shes a Left Party Member of the German Parliament shes also part of the Digital Agenda Committee and Parliament Mr back thank you for joining us this Coronavirus Tracking tracing app is finally here and the German Government said it took extra time because it needed to make sure that this app meets the countrys very high data privacy standards from what you can tell does it. It does and it took so much longer because the government had to change the direction where it was walking to at 180 percent so bay rare are 1st going the french race will contain to have a central big database and there was a lot of opposition a lot of movement against that so they started all over again with a totally different approach with us who were just extremely decentralized as was described before all data is only at your phone and theyre the data comparison who met which person will take place and that our Data Protection federal officer said that as a safe version to do it what makes it possible to judge for many other people too is that this was a totally open source process for the 1st time ever the government developed in such an open and transparent manner so all 100000 people had to look at the actual source code of the app and could convince themselves whether the promise mate has actually helped saying its safe have you downloaded the saturday. I have to on law that be at which does not mean that i am without criticism you just have to wait disadvantages and advantages individual use so i am all in favor of individual decisions for this so this i do security for example depends on what type of phone you have if its a rather new phone you are much more safer compared to an older form but every rarely gets good updates and often enough updates closing security holes but also some people just dont want to and what im really missing. Corona lorch which is necessary to give a legal right to. Voluntary if the government says everything has to be voluntary this is nice to say but what if employers will force their employees to install or if at restaurants people say you only get entrance if you have this app so we also have to protect people against social pressure or against discrimination based on user or non user of this app but this is a point of contention isnt it whether it should remain voluntary because experts say that you need around 60 percent of people to download this app in order to affectively trace and track instructions and to break a chain of infection and the latest poll so that 42 percent of germans say they would download it thats not the majority so why should that be mandatory. When i 1st discovered this not quoted right you had the ox 4th study had an interview published today and one of the big National Papers and also federal minister against spawn today in his press conference stressed again that the 60 percent wrong they have wrongly quoted 60 you send us the number you would need if this at will be the absolute only measures you undertake to fight the pandemic that is not the reality we left and we have distanced obligations we have a prohibition on big gatherings of people we have protection to wear with face masks and thinks like that so its only one of many measures taken and therefore the same study ses that every single contact might. With an Early Warning made friday after its already a win and at 15 percent which is a totally different figure compared to yet 15 percent already yes quite an effective measure to fight the condemning one of many measures will have to leave it there and back a member of the left party in the
