mulled wine store wells have been ordered to close their hands. i'm very pleased to see the new plan because the measures taken so far haven't shown good outcomes i wish the lockdown could last for a couple of weeks we think the situation will get better 6 months from now i miss india i have a big family i definitely wouldn't be able to see all of them this year we hope to be together it's understandable if we cannot be united this year. ok let's bring in political analyst rick berke that inverts book germany thanks for your time sir so this is a new lockdown this lake has gone down off the back of what was called a lockdown life how is all of this impacting the political climate in germany. well the political climate is pretty stable and the best majority of germans will use aboard what they hear basically that chain of adjusted zation

ends that move from a very soft lock down compared with what happened in other countries to a much harsher one even if it's affecting the way we celebrate christmas most people fully understand that given the numbers that be read every day in the papers this is an absolute must what is it going to do to the economy do you think especially at this time of year when people traditionally spend a fair bit of money at christmas not to mention the lack of tourists heading to the christmas markets but this is certainly something that affects tourism spots like he's 10 which is the highlight of the tourism season to have millions of people coming to the needs to do some of brave christmas on the christmas markets they say it's a major loss but overall the economy in general for me was to being pretty well compared with others including the number of insolvencies so this is most likely

postponed to make studio but right now we expect something like 20000 insolvencies called the year of 2020 ok gemini was saying is having a real model response during the 1st wave. and high levels of testing containment was really strong a strong health care system so what went wrong how was gemini back in this position . i think in some matter of time like in the beginning when nobody knew what this pandemic it's all about people of the state it took it home and did exactly what the government asked to do and then what and things got better in summer and the numbers sort of go and it looked as if everything is under control and everyone what's the need more or less and now getting back to something you know you're a bit of a pundit made fun teak that also led to demonstrations against the government. late

summer we see the consequences of not being as strict as what other countries impose to their societies he sort of mentioned it their protests against mosque where it was one of the things but now how it is responding to these law downs is that is there still that sense that perhaps this is a necessary or most people really behind this what it took a while to do something like social learning like wearing a mask and big as a normal thing this has never been learnt by the germans and then ostend it took us a while to introduce that is to our and daily lives that has been of course like a normal thing in a purely society oppositions and everyone better and everyone became and i am or 2 of our all of chisholm's who'll tell the government what else would be done but i think still the majority fully support what the government is doing in this trial

in the aero roach and only a small number is against it which set me enough is also the read the regions that demonstrate against the government the most of the ones with the highest numbers that pace the price. they don't around the world have a way high thank you so much your time over a book now their votes there jim. all right it's going to the u.k. where prime minister barak's johnson is facing pressure about the u.k.'s holiday rules joins us live from london not to talk to us about the pressure that boss johnson is coming on to what's it all about. a real head of pressures you say building on boris johnson's government to change the rules over christmas that were brought in a few weeks ago during the bleakness of a 2nd national lockdown christmas would not be cancelled was the government's message families would be allowed to mix and mingle including with elderly relatives in many cases people haven't seen each other for much of the year well

since then the lockdown ended england went into its tier system of restrictions and the infection rate has shot up in 3 quarters of local areas across the country and the rest of the u.k. seeing similar things saw scientists in the medical community warning that the n.h.s. risks being overwhelmed by the end of the year there were $506.00 deaths across the u.k. on tuesday and the clear message is there will be more deaths for the sake of christmas but a little turmoil here the 4 nations of the u.k. met on tuesday to try and agree a revised plan they weren't able to that meeting again on wednesday the opposition labor party is strongly urging the government to act the government boris johnson's government for now resist it ok i don't know what are the rules then for christmas in the u.k. as it stands. while it's not going to be a normal christmas by any manner of means 60 percent of england as of wednesday

when london and parts of the southeast fell into 2 or 3 restrictions are under this highest level of restrictions that means all shopping can continue but hospitality is closed and there is this total ban on any form of mixing in the household or among households that ban is due to be completely lifted under these christmas rules from the 23rd to the 27th and that's being taken up by the other nations of the u.k. as well so that people can form a secure kovac bubble of up to 3 families and spend their christmases together before the restrictions resume on the $28.00 interesting new the latest polls will only add pressure on the government pointing out that an awful lot of people aren't expecting a normal christmas don't even want a normal christmas fully half of respondents to the latest poll and a majority of them over 65 said they would prefer stricter measures over christmas if that meant better outcomes in the new year ok thank you for that john hall there live for us in london. almost half of singapore's migrant workers have been

infected with code 19 in the past 9 months well as they've been shared rooms and knowledge dormitories they face restrictions on their freedom of movement the tower only due to be gradually lifted next year overall singapore has reported more than $58000.00 infections since the pandemic began france italy has more from kuala lumpur. it was hailed as a model of success at the very start of the pandemic but if you remember back in april there was an explosion of coronavirus infections among the singapore's migrant workers community in a sense when singapore drafted its response to this to this pandemic and how it would tackle it it had in a way left out this community these workers they were living in cramped conditions they were living in dormitories where many of them share a room they were sleeping in bunk beds physical distancing was extremely difficult in those circumstances it's no surprise that an at that academics have described

this pandemic as a pandemic of inequality and that's how corona virus infections were cases were able to spread so quickly among this community even now with singapore having accumulatively confirmed more than 58000 cases migrant workers make up more than 90 percent of that number now in the singapore government response has been extremely swift test and it did and it still does extensive testing market workers living in dormitories are tested about once every 2 weeks and then if they're found to have a corona virus they're isolated they're quarantine and or they're treated now and authorities had also decided very early on when they were tackling the explosion of current virus cases among migrant workers community that the dormitories would have to be sealed off to contain the spread of corona virus and many of these workers are still living under movement restrictions the us health system is straining under the pressure of the coronavirus pandemic intensive care units have been running out of bed said at least one states mississippi and there were fewer than

100 available in los angeles county which is home to millions of people reports. in california and across the u.s. the numbers are staggering in los angeles county population 10000000 there were fewer than 100 intensive care unit beds available on tuesday. in some areas like the central valley and counties east of los angeles there are 0 i.c.u. beds left more people will die because the whole gist is that. statewide more than 42000 cases of covert 19 were reported on monday breaking all previous single day records we're still in the tunnel going through the most challenging and difficult search we've experienced since the beginning of this pandemic most of the state is under a stay at home order still public officials pleaded with people to wear masks and

socially distance. we just had to order $5000.00 additional body bags they just purchased for the state that should be sobering after more than 300000 deaths nationwide millions of doses of pfizer's vaccine are now being distributed around the country with medical workers at the front of the line more encouraging news came from the u.s. food and drug administration which found moderna vaccine candidate to be 94 percent effective emergency f.d.a. authorization for the vaccine is expected by the end of the week a new poll shows 71 percent of the u.s. population wants to get vaccinated right away that's an 8 percent increase from september widespread vaccine acceptance is essential to combat in the virus vaccine rollout also costs money congress is still working on multi-billion dollar covert relief legislation but they're not there yet no matter how long it takes will be

here until we get a codebook the country's top infectious disease expert dr anthony fauci recommended that president elect joe biden who is 78 years old and vice president elect kamel harris get vaccinated right away in the interests of national security we want him fully protected as he enters into the presidency in january so that would be my strong recommendation biden said he'd take that advice. you are now to the public. much of the ongoing nationwide search is attributed to virus exposure during travel and family gatherings over the a thanksgiving holiday last month with hanukkah underway and christmas coming next week doctors are begging americans to stay home and stay safe rob reynolds al-jazeera los angeles and we'll have more on the pandemic in the news all. for

months the whole system will be under severe pressure from call with patients to jump in severe coronavirus cases piles pressure on afghanistan and there to see how the country's health system is struggling to cope. and how refugees and migrants are enduring violence and deplorable conditions near the bosnia croatia border. in sports find out what happened when this world cup when it turned coach pitted his wits against his brother football action a little later on in the show. the international rescue committee has released an emergency watch this to countries where it says suffering will worsen in the coming year the 20 countries represent just 10 percent of the global population but 85 percent of those in need the i r c s call for action includes afghanistan syria and the democratic republic of

congo and ethiopia rises into the watch lists top 5 for the 1st time because of fighting in the northern region of to grey yemen tops that this for the 3rd year running the i r c says the scale of the need and a steep drop in funding have left the humanitarian response close to collapse reports. absolute top in human suffering an estimated 3000000 people are displaced most live in complaints like this one surviving us call for help from the outside world and. thousands and during the cold on the waterless plains in a shop come near the city of them in the south. we are suffering due to the cold weather we need blankets for organization and philanthropist there is no support for the children this called the corona virus pandemic disease and malnutrition her all adding up to make life here extremely

difficult we need the health center in the camp to deal with mountain and also to treat pregnant woman. even before the war human imported 90 percent of the steeple from kuwait but supplies. a sharp fall in the value of the yemeni riyal has led to the prices of essential commodities like food and medicine story in the absence of help from the government and international allies assurance most people here the muscle the elements the line you see in jealousy out of pollution at the prices of everything have increased even for bread and vegetables prices have gone up because the road is cut off so everything is expensive for me i'm a motorcycle driver my daily income is not even $6.00 so i cannot afford to eat. well yemen has been mired in war since late 2014. when the whole thing rebels seized control of several more from provinces and forced the international

government of president of the rebel months. out of the capital sanaa. so did you eat led coalition then intervened with diverse consequences in a country rocked by conflict no one knows how many people are dying from diseases such as color or from the crop in 1000 pandemic. yemen's health system has all but collapsed across the country doctors say hospital beds are food and they don't know where to put the 2nd dog looked up to latif is head of the hospital. the war has had a huge impact on the health sector we've been affected by the brutal aggression on our country and the air and sea blockade we suffer from a dire shortage of medicine such as cancer drugs open heart surgery drugs and others and fortunately aid organizations also have a monopoly on what support they offer and we have no say on what help they bring in

all this leads to a severe shortage of service whether in the aisle for a hospital or in other hospitals. then many courses of the war in the for there are only 2 consequences death and the destruction of people's livelihoods mohamed al jazeera. iran's president says he's not overly happy about joe biden's u.s. election win is glad that the quote terrorist donald trump is leaving office while some rouhani has been speaking ahead of the meeting in vienna on the 2050 nuclear deal it's been on rabbiting since the u.s. withdrew and began re imposing sanctions you once were added in october they targeted iran's petroleum industry as well as the national oil and tank a companies a few weeks earlier the u.s. blacklisted 18 major iranian banks and the foreign companies that do business with them it's part of u.s. president donald trump so-called maximum pressure campaign to squeeze the economy.

is live for us in tehran and also this meeting is happening in vienna how sun rouhani has been speaking ahead of that meeting there's no doubt the iranian economy is under pressure is there any hope that when it comes to joe biden and when he takes office that that could breathe new life into the j.c. . well if we're here to listen to the governments of hassan rouhani there is certainly a lot of optimism and hope that president elect joe biden will return to the nuclear agreement has some rouhani has said that the path is open for the incoming administration that they know what to do but things are quite not that simple there is a lot of roadblocks that have been put in place by u.s. president donald trump to make things much more difficult for the president elect in any attempt he might make into in trying to return to the nuclear agreement there's also a lot of domestic pressure within iran as well as in the united states there's

a lot of voices that say this is a golden opportunity for the incoming administration in the united states to use this time to put more pressure on iran to try and get it back to the negotiating table to do updated have an updated version of the nuclear agreement but that is something the iranians have said is out of the question the point of contention is iran's missile ballistic missile program and the iranians have always said that that is not something that's up for negotiation the iranian president hassan rouhani was speaking at a weekly cabinet meeting on wednesday morning where he highlighted the differences between how things are within iran now this year 2020 and what things were like in the conditions for iran in 2015 let's hear some of what he had to say one group. of about a day iran negotiated with them iran was negotiating under the threat of 6 un resolutions and the threat of possible military dimensions all those threats are gone now back then iran was accused of being untrustworthy but we proved to be the

most committed country in the world we are hard to go shooters but when we strike a deal and think it we remain committed. ok there is iran is how some rouhani prepared for a scenario where joe biden might not rejoin the agreement. well i think the entire country is prepared for that the parliament has passed a bill earlier this month giving the remaining signatories of the nuclear deal a 2 month period which would end the beginning of february for them to try and lift some of the sanctions on iran otherwise iran will resume its nuclear activities as it had prior to the 2015 nuclear deal that means enrichment will become back up to 20 percent as well as the access that the i.a.e.a. inspectors have had over the past few years would be limited there would be no longer a surprise visit inspections those would stop that was something iran added as additional protocols under the nonproliferation treaty as

a sign of good will after the nuclear deal was signed they would remove themselves from that as well the parliament has been very very critical of the rouhani administration in dealing with the international community when it comes to this nuclear deal they say iran has done everything it was supposed to under disagreement but hasn't seen any of the benefits the inspectors have had access to $26.00 military facilities alongside the nuclear sites so iran is saying they've gone be above and beyond what they signed up to under the deal but they haven't seen any of the sanctions relief not only that they've actually had more sanctions placed on them since president trump withdrew from the deal in 22 so there are certain things that have been put in place to see iran through a much more difficult phase should it come to that but president rouhani again very hopeful that the incoming u.s. administration of president elect joe biden will see things differently and see this as an opportunity to try and come back into the nuclear deal ok thank you

so much for that that. for us and tell. still ahead on al jazeera. attempts at a crackdown on social media in uganda head of next month's presidential election. we visit the everglades national park in florida nasco world heritage sites on the threat and it's not just the ecosystem at risk. and the australian captain issues a warning to team india ahead of the 1st test the latest cricket cricket rather coming up in. the birthplace of democracy but ethnic turks from the northeast tell a different story the group they bounce to control our religion our believe their religious leaders jailed journalists silenced schools closed and

towards becoming such a global. war and then he didn't work but that month in the wood. from the horse that took one in the book what i mean they who claim to us those who said i don't think it's the opposite that's the problem because the stick to cut takes we come but i didn't. but now that be at the 2 men one me now live content to just be that is that way or that no institution to protect each other that these but secondly do moon do so friendly how to sway you to get the book but if. he's to meet them of course into a particular read them all who fish in opposed to beaches but such things are not

happening because if you say i need to do it how do they all think it's. i don't weigh out the things they can. work with in that they can take them and in the whole it's loose from any question of then as has. the country think 'd he's to do it and then it's already fine but next week that will not work with that it is not people would that it would have been it was it that should be sort of that needed since they put. 2 and 2. because 'd we hope that if there is a decent up again that or down to defend it with the boys from the noise that consensus for the gun for city life wake them. you know we hope we don't get on these protests then get to choose. if you say it's a buck or a buck or on doesn't have the capacity to carry out the time to the top of the pack

logistically speaking given your knowledge of the region and what you know about the different groups who are operating in that area what do you think has happened . we'll talk to the afghanis that we used to know the book 'd and i mean that is why that led you to provide dollars i'm out. we are even going to be at them for picking a horny. the horse and but now this thing has been reducing couldn't get near him where we were when could we get there with them. really up they've been pretty bad it may well be up but do. you know what out you. see that they can walk up to it cut the living. i don't think they have that but one thing that is that.

there is a little strong policing that it's not traditionally instituted that the men who mind it will 'd feed me over it is it is that. they're too vicious brutal. 'd what turned into political they are not rolled out what it used to do this is the institutional so at most it. might be that in this thing we. see it was that there. were. lots. and as you say as you say it leaves it leaves civilians and children very vulnerable thank you so much at times on a mostafa there and i took a yoke it looked. and afghanistan there are concerns a spike in coronavirus cases could put the fan health system under strain the exact

number of cases is unclear and many afghans are finding it too expensive to protect themselves from virus failure counterfeiting reports from kabul. less than a month ago these beds were empty but since then footage obtained by al-jazeera from inside afghanistan's only covered hospital in kabul shows the beds are quickly filling up doctors say as winter sets in and respiratory diseases flare up coronavirus patients needing treatment in hospital will increase. this hospital has capacity for only 120 patients with the patients in hallways or any other rooms that will increase the number of beds to 150 we do not have any other space and we cannot put beds on the streets many officials and diplomats say the official tallies are seriously undercounted and there's no reliable data to give a clear picture of the pandemic in afghanistan the country has received millions of

dollars in aid to manage the pandemic but a lack of testing and knowledge about the virus especially outside the afghan capital who remains a big problem forcing many people to seek help in kabul. my mom was sick can cause the doctors there were not able to get a diagnosis for her her health was getting worse by the day on her breathing got really bad we came to this hospital when we got the results of the covert test that was positive. there's no social distancing in afghanistan and barely anyone wears a mask many afghans believe the koran a virus doesn't exist here well that is if there was coronavirus i could have been infected as i am in contact with hundreds of people every day here and i'm not but there is another reason why afghans do not follow the governments we commendations to take protective measures sanitizers and masks are available almost everywhere

yet many afghans can not afford to buy them with most living on less than $1.50 a day spending event $0.10 for one single use. is too much. deficit of also increased according to the ministry of public health because afghans did not axs the health care they need to curb the spread of the virus during the winter wedding holes will be shot while universities have already been closed our prediction is for it months the whole system will be under severe pressure from patients so that's why. even though we have doubled the number of beds the are increasing the. war but are prepared for that but let's see what happens the thing is predictable with. the government says millions of dollars in international aid have been pledged to help of ghana stand deliver the car on a virus vaccine in the next 7 months initially for 20 percent of the population yet

if managing the pandemic has been a big struggle vaccinating afghans could be an even bigger one failure contra for al-jazeera kabul. fresh from his white house when the u.s. president elect joe biden is back on the campaign trail horses in georgia where to runoff votes will determine who controls the senate a white house correspondent kelly hellcat reports from atlanta. he won the southers state of georgia in november narrowly with just 12000 votes that's why u.s. president elect joe biden is back in your voter as if your life depended on it well guess right. now you have to do it again come january 5th but i didn't need to democratic party to pick up 2 georgia senate seats in next month's runoff election republicans hold the seat currently but if democrats win they take control of the

senate and the u.s. congress on health care and voting rights on criminal justice racial justice on current. when your show marks done so much that can make 'd the lives of people of georgia in the whole country was so much better a win in the senate means biden will be able to push through policy without resistance from republican senate majority leader mitch mcconnell who for the 1st time aide knowledge biden's when. after the country's electoral college on monday certified the vote result the electoral college. vote. so today i want to congratulate president elect joe biden but even those members of his own republican party are now congratulating biden on his victory president donald trump refuses to concede the white house press secretary insists the vote

result is still not final the president is still involved in ongoing litigation related to the election polls show dozens of congressional republicans support trump's unproven claims of election fraud and trump's refusal to concede to biden is worrying some georgia voters if this lead nanny state. somebody have to be big enough to say it's it it's over ob-la you know but this is hard and unfortunately that's the way we are in the world today or choose hope over fear knowing his agenda is on the line biden is promising voters he'll make history with his diverse cabinet the latest expected announcement former democratic presidential candidate. as biden's transportation secretary. will be the 1st senate confirmed openly gay cabinet member if his nomination succeeds there's no letter to her conspirators

but there will be a limit on the number of people that commit so by the grace of god. was up at the up carol up i'll consider i've left my aide workers are pushing for better care and shelter for refugees and migrants who are stranded of all say croatia border also and officials are meeting later to discuss what to do as temperatures plunge one camp may need to be closed because it hasn't been made safe the winter even though international funding is available on his arrest anybody reports from very katusha . it's not a prison it's a camp and. these migrants and refugees the former morel warehouse in velika katyusha in northern balls near is a staging post on their journey to the promised land europe some have spent years getting to this point my dream is that their life. living condition good.

everything good lifestyle good living style good living working. because issues here are basic but they have heat shelter and clean water they are lucky these men from algeria not they have no electricity no water no proper heating all of them have tried and failed to cross the border into croatia and failure comes with a price this man shows the bruises on his legs he says were caused by croatian police who robbed him and then sent him back barefoot his aim is to get to france and beatings not a deterrent. effect on there's nothing for me and i'll derian the algerian government does nothing for its people i'm 40 years old i have nothing i've looked for work there but there is not just the danish refugee council says that in october alone they recorded 189 claims of extreme violence by croatian police

against the migrants and refugees but there's been no investigation so far hundreds more migrants are scattered in woodlands throughout the area these are the most basic of shelters made by men mostly from afghanistan pakistan and bangladesh they moved here when the bosnia authorities close their campaign be hatched 2 months ago because of local opposition european union any country like disk and this man says he's tried 10 times across the border and spent nearly $15000.00 and trying since he left his home 2 years ago he says he wants to go anywhere in the european union anywhere is good he says. the winter is coming in in northern bosnia there is snow and temperatures can drop well below freezing survival will be difficult because you has been split about what to do about the problem in the worst is that is some humanitarian crisis you don't have enough money so you cannot take care of everyone else here defending is not an issue we have the funding to take care of those people in proper centers but simply because of the lack of political decision

making we actually cannot take care of them in the way that we should the sad irony that in a country that was so dependent on international aid and assistance during the war but apparently not the same kind of humanity is being shown to people who simply want a better life but this never ending problem is leading to a growing anti migrant feeling here that 1st migrants and refugees were helped 2 years on and some feel differently probably a problem or was a bit out causing problems that upset in the locals their breaking to put i about the houses and apartments in this throwing them players god go go is and now the international aid agencies have been providing basic supplies in sleeping bags but they describe it as the very minimum needed to some this will be just another migrant story to have been so many others it will be one of the arduous journey is taken by those who are trying to escape poverty and hardship and make a better life in the woods and abandoned buildings in northern bosnia

a better life looks a long way away tony berkley al-jazeera the liquor clear dushka. in a staff says more than $2000000.00 children have been cut off from humanitarian assistance and ethiopia's to grave region fighting broke out there last month when prime minister ordered a military offensive against local forces thousands of people have been killed the european union says it's delaying a nearly $110000000.00 aid package to ethiopia over the crisis de grey. uganda has also google that owns you tube to shut down 14 channels it says links to riots last month more than 50 people died following the latest arrest of opposition presidential candidate bobby why are you going to go to the polls next month the government has cancelled media accreditation it's a web is covering this from nairobi malcolm so uganda is asking you tube to shut down 14 channels who's running these channels and what's the reasoning for the shut down requests. well the communications commission

has written to google and said that these accounts carry content that can incite violence cause people to be harmed because of their ethnicity or because their political views rights groups have already rejected these claims they say that these broadcasters have done nothing to break any regulations they haven't been taken to court and this amounts to an abuse of their rights but among these 14 channels are some online t.v. that very frequently constantly cover the activities of opposition candidate a star or b. y. in his campaigning the moment to run in january presidential election against incumbent president you know in the 70 he's been in power for 34 years and lot of rights groups in uganda and beyond see this as an attempt to clamp down on any coverage of his political activities. and also as you mentioned malcolm media

accreditation have been revoked ahead of the vote next month on top of that with the with the request to google to shut down these you tube account so he was the reaction in the country. certainly in the last few weeks it's become increasingly hostile environment for journalists to work their. journalists there are having to register. the elections to be for me to cover any events relating to politics so the been more incidents of violence on the street journalists have been shot with rubber bullets those working for foreign news media having their credit station rescinded and they were extremely hard if not impossible documentary demands that now have to be met for journalists to be able to work. it was just a few weeks ago that dozens of people were killed on the streets. all owing the rest of the wind the group people out to protest there was
