Forces free a german woman kidnapped by militants in iraq. Was taken. Out abduction in the capital. Welcome to the program istanbuls high as a fear has opened for muslims friday prayers for the 1st time in more than 2 yeahs thousands of worshippers gathered outside the Historic Building to take part in the prayer as it follows a controversial decree from turkish president. To turn the former museum back into a mosque one himself was in attendance along with several 100 invitees originally a cathedral in the building at the heart of istanbul. 1500. And. Describe. The 1st friday prayer is underway inside the ios of fear but also outside as you can see behind me there are thousands of people who are joining these prayers right behind me actually you can see many of my colleagues from takesh media who are out also praying now are joining the prayers according to the information we have about 500 people were allowed inside the i assume that there was a limitation due to coronavirus a measures but outside we actually souls thousands all people today many of them wrote their prayer rocks some of them even came from other parts of turkey just to be here today and to attend this event its a highly symbolic event for president erred on himself who is inside ideas of fear right now he earlier recitals apart from the koran so he is joining this prayer weve seen him a wearing a mosque and sitting socially distant to members all 3 is that cabinet today is probably the day that the prison aired on his telling his supporters islamic conservative voters the nationalists here in the country that he fulfilled a promise he made to that he had repeatedly promised to turn this iconic building that used to be a child and for the past 86 years was a museum to turn this Building Back into a mosque. What was making the promise so important to read to try. To turn it back into a mosque. So i guess you have to understand the symbol. Ism of the i assume it is for many people here in turkey the old hymn its symbol of the muslim composed of Christian Constantino pl that is how istanbul was cold back then and many people say they have been longing for this to happen for the past decades basically since the i. S. O. Fear was turned into a museum 86 years ago by turkeys state found him now ed one knows about the symbolism but it seems that is also help him helping him politically he clearly seems to sing so right now his popularity ratings are not looking very good the turkish economy has suffered a lot during the coronavirus endemic so for add on the ideas of fear is some kind of a joke or card he has posed now to really behind him his. Conservative islamic base. But the hardest of all. What is going to change it inside historic. What we havent been allowed inside yet but what we understand it will from what weve seen from todays images they have rolled out a took was carpets that is one change for sure in the past 2 weeks but one of the biggest debates is about the christian i thin and liz aid because islam forbids the depiction of the people and animals the images of mary jesus and christian sayings actually have to be covered during prayer times although 2 the government insists they will be opened outside prayer time so visitors can go and see them the solution they found is putting a huge cottons to cover of these icons and christian symbols but still there. Suits concerns that actually changing this secular space into a religious one is doing harm is you know putting our guests historic structure the World Heritage site at risk. From istanbul thank you so much. China has ordered the United States to close one of its consulates you noted for tat move the Foreign Ministry has given us officials 72 hours to leave the consulate in the southwestern city of chengdu it comes after washington told beijing to shut its Diplomatic Mission in Houston Texas earlier this week relations between the 2 powers are at their lowest in 40 years. It was less a question of if china would retaliate but rather how and the answer is the u. S. Has been told to close its conscience in chengdu. Raising the stakes yet further and this diplomatic standoff. Drew majority of the Current Situation in china u. S. Relations is not what china wants and the u. S. Is completely responsible for all of this. All of this includes the u. S. Imposing sanctions on communist Party Officials and companies linked to the mass detention of weakness and ordering china to shut its mission in houston citing concerns about. The clear out is under way the president even floated the potential to cut diplomatic ties completely. As far as closing d additional embassies its always possible it marks the biggest fallout since Richard Nixon renewed relations in the seventys when he extended the 100 friendship. All the more significant then that the u. S. Secretary of state would head to the former republican president ial library to all but declare a new cold war with the c. C. P. The kind of engagement weve been pursuing has not brought the kind of change inside of china the president nixon had hoped to induce. The truth is that our policies and those of other free nations resurrected chinas failing economy only to see beijing bite the International Hands that were feeding it. We open our arms to chinese citizens only to see the Chinese Communist Party Support our free and open society. Back in 2017 when donald trump and she. Occasionally sparred over trade no theyre even farther apart it may be a long time before theyre rolling out the red carpet for each other again. John. Is in beijing for us material how serious is this for nations between beijing and washington. This is a retaliatory move it has been announced from the very beginning on wednesday night. At a tuesday night at the us ordered the consulate and used to be closed and then it was china announced the next day that it had been ordered to shut it down they have said they would retaliate everybody was expecting they would close a consulate now it is clear which one it is this is pretty much reciprocal i would say that. The importance of this consulate in chengdu is about proportionate to the consulate in houston it is not one of the regions where the may be economic again or connectivities are but its still very important also because it covers t. Bet the. Relations between the 2 countries are at an all time low since they have established diplomatic relations in the end of the 1970s this move is probably not going to help them but it is also nothing that comes as a surprise china has not chosen to do something that would further escalate the situation an expected move but then why specifically the consulate in trying to do what is. The consulate in chengdu is somewhat it is not one of the 2 most important consulates but it is still an important consulate it covers the southwest of china that includes many big geographical region also a densely populated region people from there are american citizens but also chinese citizens who apply for visas will now have to travel much further there is also a political pawn because this consulate was responsible also for covering the bet for the u. S. And it has some kind of it has gained some kind of fame a few years ago when the police had the head of the Police Department of chongqing who was then. Involved in a Corruption Scandal that eventually brought down the whole establishment of this city fled to this consulate and spent 30 hours there so this is a place that has quite a history but heres bullinger briefing us about that is free from beijing thank you so much you know are some of the latest developments in the coronavirus pandemic australia has reintroduced restrictions in its most populous state New South Wales it comes after new clusters of infections emerged in the States Capital sydney in recent days vietnam has suspended all imports of wild animals in an effort to curb the spread of the virus the country is one of asias biggest consumers of wildlife products and the number of cases in the United States has passed the 4000000 mark the country accounts for more than a quarter of global infections the most anywhere in the world. And the rising number of cases have also prompted u. S. President donald trump to cancel plans for a large scale Republican National convention in florida next month the format celebration was expected to draw some 10000 people to mock trumps formal nomination as the partys candidate for the election. A tough decision for a president who loves nothing more than a crowd. Donald trump canceled the Republican Convention in florida amid surging coronavirus cases across the state i looked at my team and i said the timing for this event is not right just not right with whats happened recently the flare up in florida to have a Big Convention its not the right time its really something that for me i have to protect the American People thats what ive always done thats what i always will do thats what im about says it in a significant change in rhetoric since his rally in tulsa which saw thousands pack into an arena trump stressed the issue of safety looking forward to. The viruses eppy center continues to mark right across the country from l. A. Hot spots like new york now hitting other densely populated states like florida haad. Thursday mopped a record high for the state with more than 170 deaths and 10000 new infections some hospitals are reaching a Tipping Point and this hospital in miami is it full capacity some of the stuff also contract with the virus. Its unpredictable so we learned about. What its like to be faced with something that we dont know anything about it if you think about a lot of other medical illnesses we know about it weve studied how to treat it we can expand our treatment is this really came out of nowhere in our. Last florida trump 2 is facing an uphill battle according to opinion polls. A major criticism of his handling of the pandemic in an Election Year could be enough to cost him the tough job.

Youre watching news stream to come. The countdown clock to the talk your lympics has been reset organizers of planning for summer 2021 now but the coronavirus pandemic has made the situation precarious all the games in limbo. It is just over 10 years since 21. 00 young people were killed in a stampede inside a tunnel at a techno parade in western germany in me the trial of 3 people accused of contributing to the tragedy ended without a verdict we spoke to the mother of one of the victims about how one decade on shes trying to come to terms with her loss. Gabby miller never forget the day 10 years ago that changed her life. For me if you had to. I was out shopping when i heard that some people had died the report said 10 i wondered how 10 people could have died i thought perhaps a truck had tipped over if indeed want it put out though at that moment gabby miller did not yet know that her son christian was among those kid. And i have heard what was going to have i i tried to call a christian but it went straight to his voicemail done then my husband arrived and my brother and his girlfriend i mean i realized at once that something terrible had happened and i knew christian would not be coming home again when he was diagnosed of course young men hold a comb he along with hundreds of thousands of others had gone to the laugh parade induced book on july 24th 2010 to party and listen to music the venue was not an open field but enclosed there was only one access ramp where a tunnel and underpasses converged people were streaming in from Different Directions the crash became so extreme that many had difficulty breathing 21 died 650 more were injured. Because john miller was 25 when he died. It was just a mother year when you look at how narrow the space was you have to ask yourself how could it ever have been approved well you can see at once that it was not suitable employment growth. Finally in 2017 several workers from the municipality and the events for him were put on trial it became clear that the eventually never have been approved yet the trial ended without judgement this spring and no one was held responsible. So they may get into the court came to the conclusion that despite the terrible consequences the individual good of the 3 defendants was slight because the disaster had more to pull causes many different factors contributed to the tragedy by didnt look so that it looked gabby moonlight attended the hearings she feels let down by the judicial system we use on monday but her pain is all mine i find it in comprehensible it is hard to accept for me there has been no closure but still i will try to find my way there was no return it if we fought and hoped all these years and in the end all we got was a slap in the face of rock and division the division. Nobody has assumed responsibility for christianes death 10 years after the tragedy got to move us through hopes she will somehow find peace. The talk your Olympic Games vers opposed to kick off in japan these friday but for postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic their debates have not been moved to next year the decision to delay has raised more questions than answers there is uncertainty of the games will take place at all without a vaccine and enthusiasm for the olympics has also plummeted in the host nation. Are on the countdown has been reset on the tokyo and impact games one more you to go theres no trace of any festivities. The japanese family cuckoo ek who was diagnosed with leukemia in 2900 is hoping for the best at talk your 2020 plus one. Or even imagine the world in one of the year would be wonderful when they live the curtain over the elim pics and paralympics live in a time with highs and lows and hoping that a sense of normal returns to always be lifes again. That there was a thought or look out of the cup a month the it sounds like Wishful Thinking for some according to a survey only one in 4 japanese supports the Upcoming Games in 2021 around 70 percent would like to delay them even further or cancel them altogether. Good Good Good Good bad leaks from across the world would come but every country is in a state of emergency and until we find a vaccine that will take time no chance. Card to get us to mali could hold the games without fans but that wouldnt be good for the economy if the games go ahead then we should go all out of the. International Olympic Committee president thomas bach and head of the Tokyo Organizing Committee youre sheol more you are against the idea of a games without fans the last resort would be to reduce the crowds whatever the case the atmosphere would suffer the Japanese Technology could fill the void this digital Remote Control emit sounds of celebrations if enough join in it could create something similar to a real stadium atmosphere. The prototype would serve as a proxy fan in the stadium and was recently tested in japans professional baseball league. As how kids in tokyo for example get to enjoy a match and south pole or 830 kilometers away. What do you think you can control the robot and make it clap if you know the kids were excited it felt as if you with their life without having to travel to the stadium. But who built olympic venues in stadiums for electronic replacements who invests billions for an olympics light its a nightmare scenario for japans government host city tokyo the sponsors the fans and the athletes. We shouldnt expect the pandemic to be under control by next year but if we do manage to hold the top your lympics with the coronavirus around then it should serve as an example for the next games and other international events.
