Astronauts make history successfully completing nasas 1st manned return from the i s s involving a private company. End of the demonstration here in berlin against pandemic restrictions ignites a debate about limits on the right to Public Assembly most of the protesters the naacp wear face masks nor do they physically distance as mandated by law. Im brian thomas great to have you with us today Afghan Forces are battling militants from socalled Islamic State after they attacked a Prison Holding hundreds of its members a gun battle broke out sunday night after a suicide car bomber targeted that prisons entrance at least 20 people are known to be killed dozens more injured in the battle which we understand the. Is ongoing the attack comes after Afghan Special forces killed a senior Islamic State commander. For more lets bring in ali law t. V. He joins us from the capital kabul good day to you all they can phyllis on the latest on the situation in the fighting enjoy all about its been more than 17 hours the city is under a complete lockdown stores are closed people are asked to stay off the roads and its really started to i was talking to some people in jalalabad earlier and they were saying the fighting is really intense you know and its very scary theres sounds of explosions or sounds of gunfire. And it started to affect neighboring areas a Shopping Plaza near the jail and is also being used by the fighters there are reports that some of the fighters had taken up residence in a district near the provincial capital and thats how they were able to stay and plot the attack over the last several days including the ied holiday so its really taken a toll on this city where people are just essentially surrounded by violence over the last 17 hours have has afghanistan and its backers like the United States been under estimating the strength of Islamic State inside afghanistan. You know theres been a lot of mis reporting about you know the socalled Islamic State forces and ive honest on a lot of political figures have tried to conflate them with the taliban thing theyre essentially the same thing and you know if you talk to people and in their heart since the socalled islamics the fighters appeared in 20142015 theyve been fighting against the taliban trying to get them out of their territory and in fact some people will say that you know taliban fighters from the Southern Province of kandahar came so far as to come to our and fight the die as fighters and you know so so so there is really you know theyve been staging major attacks the they staged an attack on the sikh temple earlier this year they stage an attack on an m. S. F. Run Maternity Ward which led to the shutting down of that Maternity Ward so theres a lot of questions about what the government is actually doing in response to these fighters ok what is their presence mean for any efforts towards peace in afghanistan and tours are reaching ultimately a deal with the dollars bond. In terms of the deal with the taller one it doesnt really affect it because because they said they really hate each other but in terms of peace it leads to more questions about ok if you make a peace with the toll on them what do you do with these fighters who the government claims that they had a limited in 2019 so it raises even more questions you know if you say you were able to take them out and yet you know theyre staging major attacks in major cities it leads to a lot of questions and the main question is that you know who are they responsible to who do they answer for who is their leadership and what do they want with the toll of on the very least you know is that they claim to be fighting an occupation but with these fighters you really cant say for certain what they want or if you wanted to make peace with them who you would address. T. V. Thanks so much for bringing us up to date and for the insights into socalled Islamic State in afghanistan that from kabul today thanks very much to american astronauts have made a landmark splash down as the 1st commercial crewed mission to the International Space station return to earth it was also the 1st splashdown landing after a u.

It is the 1st full day of a new lockdown for australias 2nd largest city melbourne located in the state of victoria tougher measures including a nightly curfew are in place for the next 6 weeks victoria declared a state disaster on sunday after a spike in covert cases. Well here in berlin a massive protest saturday against pandemic restrictions has ignited a debate about the limits that can be placed on the right to Public Assembly the german minister for justice has affirmed that right but she also underscored that rules like Wearing Masks must be observed but it is exactly those laws that the estimated 20000. 00 protesters reject which led to a number of arrests. Some todays protest in berlin against the rules to fight the coronavirus demonstrators failed to keep their distance from each other and they didnt wear masks either politicians are. On the one hand theyre exercising their right to protest but there are rules which they disregard their behavior is playing with peoples lives you meet the him leave a message hide in freedom and responsibility go hand in hand theres the freedom to exercise ones right to demonstrate but also a responsibility to abide by the rules. Instead of a relaxation of the restrictions that the very end state premier mock was zuda would rather see a tougher enforcement by authorities to fight the virus if a policeman people who come from risk areas and dont take it coronavirus test or refuse to take one along with those who deliberately violate the measures must face a fine otherwise all of this makes little sense. As infections rise in germany the best way to deal with the pandemic looks set to cause further debate. And that the bait very much in the headlines this morning and talking about that now with our Political Correspondent manual chayes good morning to you got a menu all observers were taken back by the size of this demonstration about 20000 people going to the police what is it that the protesters reject and why does autistics had one thing in common doubt that up is a restorations made. Measures and theyre also very angry that for example they have to wear a mask if you look up potus as we saw in the report they werent wearing any mosques they were in the respect and social distancing no about the protestors themselves whats quite interesting to see is that they come from different posture you could see the empty back time of mantra presented you could see people from the far right and you can also see people not they dont need to any of those categories just being read about whats happening right now they feel their fundamental rights are being trampled ok we saw some of the political response in our report can you tell us more about that well for example has mr yes sponsored out of course those people have desired to process but not of the cost of other peoples. Organizers actually have been arrested. Will be prosecuted by the auto it is for not having respected measures for example but those are like you say to those out of measures that protest against ok you made the point from the Health Minister saying you know people have to be careful what they do because of the verb respect for the health of other people so its a logical argument nonetheless politicians have failed to make this case among others with a significant part of the population whats gone wrong well i think you have to keep in mind that germany hasnt been hit by the pandemic as hard as the neighboring countries so i think perhaps theres a part of the population that face to see the seriousness of the pandemic because they dont know someone who has been affected by it they dont they havent seen a state or sanitary emergency here in germany so perhaps the authorities havent communicated communicated that you know if it does so you have to keep in mind that the majority of germ of the germans to support the governments handling of that pandemic ok you know schools are reopening this week in one german state other states are going to follow. Next week what are the guidelines for schools reopening well the region that maximum fall down the would be overrun test for the rest of germany 150000 children will go back to school and the plan is to render the experience as normal as possible that means 4 to 5 teaching hours daily children want to have to wear a mosque this is not compulsory however Grade School Years will be organized in such a way that one so as to Stay Together also one school could be quarantined should one be infected and not the whole school and teachers as well we have the possibility to be tested for free ok everyone looking at this state to see if they if they get that balance right between the needs of the children and the Health Concerns of course as well emanuel thank you very much thank you.
