Consequently, it is suspected that the two suspects intentionally caused the situation. One of the two had filmed the process with a camera attached to his body and apparently posted a partial sequence online. As the dpa discovered, investigators are also verifying if one of the two suspects has any connection to the scene of the Reich citizens.
In the video you can hear, among other things, how the end of the film says: “I am a person, I do not need an identity card (…) I am a person and sovereign.” The wording is similar to that of the so-called imperial citizens, who reject the state as an instance.

More than 800 crown deaths in Brazil in 24 hours.
4:35 am: The number of coronavirus-related deaths is increasing in Brazil. According to the latest data from the Brasilia Ministry of Health, more than 800 corona deaths were registered for the first time in 24 hours. The number of victims recorded from Monday to Tuesday was 881. This is a new negative record in the South American country for this 24-hour period.
According to official figures, a total of 12,400 people have died in Brazil in relation to the virus. 177,589 infected people have been reported. According to data from the Johns Hopkins University, based in the United States, Brazil is now number six among the most affected countries in terms of deaths.
On International Nursing Day, nurses in cities like Brasilia or Manaus also commemorated their at least 98 colleagues among the deceased. Brazil has already lost more nurses in the crown crisis than Spain and Italy combined, which has to do with their sometimes precarious work situation.

04:20: Spanish Maria Branyas, 113, survived a coronavirus infection safely. “She has overcome the illness and is doing very well,” said a spokeswoman for the nursing home in Olot, in northern Spain, where Branyas has lived for twenty years. She is considered the oldest woman in Spain.

US Democrats want a new $ 3 billion aid package
4:15 p.m.: US Democrats want to tackle the social and economic consequences of the crown pandemic with a gigantic new aid package. The bill, presented in the opposition party-controlled House of Representatives, provides for measures totaling $ 3 trillion. The package would be significantly larger than previous crisis rescue programs.
However, the prospects for the new aid package being adopted are poor. It would also have to be approved by the Senate, in which President Donald Trump’s Republican Party has a majority.
Congress and the government have already launched four Corona aid packages in recent weeks. The largest of these was decided in late March and is around $ 2 trillion in size – it’s the largest bailout in the history of the United States.
The democratic bill proposes, among other things, more direct government subsidies to millions of citizens. Checks in excess of $ 6,000 will be issued per household. In a previous package, payments of $ 1,200 per household had already been approved.
Republicans in the United States Senate threaten China with sanctions
03:35: Colleagues from US President Donald Trump’s party in Congress threatened China with sanctions for facing the crown pandemic. A group of Republican senators released a bill Tuesday that would empower Trump to punish unless Beijing was “fully responsible” for the outbreak.
The president also spread the suspicion that the virus came from a laboratory in the central Chinese metropolis of Wuhan and that it had not spread from a wild animal market there, as previously assumed. So far, Trump has provided no evidence of this allegation.
EU Economic Commissioner believes in tourism in the European summer
3:00 am: Paolo Gentiloni has been confident that the European holiday season can take place in the summer despite the Corona pandemic. “We will definitely have a tourist season in the summer, but with security measures and restrictions,” the EU’s Italian economic commissioner told the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”.
This Wednesday, the EU Commission wants to publish recommendations for the gradual lifting of border controls.

02.45: Canadian rock star Bryan Adams apologized for his comments about the spread of the corona virus.

His thoughts are with all those who have to do with the pandemic. Experts believe the virus may have passed to humans at a market in Wuhan. Live animals, including bats, are also traded.

On Monday, Adams posted a video playing his song “Cuts Like A Knife”. Regarding the pandemic cancellation of his shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall, the musician wrote that everyone was put on hold only because there were greedy bastards who made viruses that sold and ate bats in so-called wet markets. He recommends that you go vegan. Many users criticized the statements as racist.
Investigation: the virus spread in Brazil before carnival
02:20: According to a scientific study, the corona virus spread in Brazil before carnival, before the first discovery of an infection in the country. The spread began around the first week of February, according to a study by the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, the main Brazilian health institute.
According to the study, the spread of the pathogen in Brazil began more than 20 days before the infection was first diagnosed in the country for a traveler returning from Italy. This case of infection was discovered shortly after the carnival.
The study raises concerns that there may be significantly more infections in Brazil than official statistics show. With around 12,400 deaths and more than 177,500 cases of infection, Brazil is the country most affected by the pandemic in Latin America.

FREDERIC J. BROWN / AFP
1:45 am: Exit restrictions due to the crown pandemic for the approximately ten million Californians in the Los Angeles district could remain in effect until the end of July. Los Angeles County Health Director Barbara Ferrer announced this at a hearing Tuesday, the Los Angeles Times reported. In his opinion, an earlier opening of public life is only possible if there is a “dramatic” turn in the fight against the virus. Ferrer spoke of a slow relaxation of conditions in the coming months.
For example, the beaches of the Los Angeles district will reopen to visitors from Wednesday after almost two months of closure. However, only sports activities such as swimming or jogging are allowed. People should stay away and wear a protective mask out of the water. However, passive activities such as sunbathing are not allowed.
Conservatives are pushing from Leyen to opening the border
01.10 am: A group of conservative MEPs have called on the President of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to campaign for the rapid reopening of borders within the European Union. The 18 members of the PPE Group in the European Parliament in a letter to von der Leyen, which is available to the AFP news agency, call for controls at all national borders between Member States to be stopped to curb the coronavirus.
MEPs also demand that EU member states lift their quarantine rules for incoming EU citizens. In the early stages of the pandemic, border controls were “appropriate and justified” due to the wide variation in the virus across EU member states, the letter said. Meanwhile, however, the infection process is at a similar level across the EU.
