6:02 pm
a resurgent virus. the world health organization says it's concerned. austria has now imposed a full nationwide locked on the 1st e u country to do so. people are only being allowed to leave their homes for groceries of doctor visits or exercise in germany hospitals, there are running out of intensive care unit beds. chancellor angler, michael says the restrictions in place now are simply not enough. the health minister is urging more citizens to get vaccinated if you had them in the thesis. been to us probably by the end of this winter, pretty much every one in germany. it has sometimes been said somewhat cynically, would have been vaccinated, recovered or died. but it's true with the highly contagious delta variance. this is very, very likely. and the netherlands has seen a 3rd night of violence against new restrictions there. 5 police officers were injured and 40 people arrested across several dutch cities. well, we have 2 correspondence covering this and germany and in austria. dominant cane is
6:03 pm
in berlin. you'll have more on the government's warning there and a few minutes, but 1st let speak to andrew simmons who's in vienna for us. andrew, this is a pretty strict lockdown that could last, i believe nearly 3 weeks. can you talk us through what life is gonna look like they're well, it certainly could be forgiven if you are austrian to think. you know, a little bit of deja vu here. this time, last year they were in lockdown, christmas was approaching, businesses were closing down. people were pretty miserable. this is the case now. there are a few easing restrictions in the compare with last year in the sense that people can go to work. and there are people who are allowed to stroll around a to a limited fashion the but then the rest of it is pretty, pretty bad. businesses closing down, right, the way across the capital salzberg in one of the regions most affected by increases the curve at 19. it's pretty grim, they're a very strong feeling of, of dissent as well about the that the handling of this lockdown,
6:04 pm
because many people feel it should have been introduced a much earlier others feel the shouldn't be one at all. and then there's another aspect to it in which the government has introduced plans of for the beginning of february to impose compulsory vaccinations for those who haven't had jobs. and now we have 66 percent of the country having been vaccinated. the rest aren't vaccinated in that sir. a pretty grim picture compared with the rest of europe. and in terms of the increases in the current of virus that we're looking at between 14016008 sort of tilts between those figures right now. but compare that to only a month ago where it was around $3000.00, he gets some idea of how it's skyrocketed in this population of only $8000000.00 plus. and so really the government is being accused of being on or for
6:05 pm
a tarion. but really, the government is, is quite panicked by this. it feels it's got to get a crypt gripped quickly on a situation that is out of control. they feel with a lot of intensive care units filled up and are a concern in the health service about what they're going to do next. and as you say, there's been a huge push back on the vaccine mandate. that is public opinion. and that, that shifting in all given and under that where thing which is pretty divided and in fact very divided. we were speaking at the end of a vaccination q to a woman who was having her 3rd, a jab of the booster shot. and she was saying, well look, you know, obviously i choose to, to take protection, but for those who are being forced to in february, she feels that's wrong. that they should really be seen the what the government should be seen to be doing more to convince people that to be vaccinated. and she feels it's an issue of civil rights. and also we're seeing this whole situation
6:06 pm
being politicized. because far right groups are accusing the government of being authoritarian. it didn't, he and nazi's of being in brother, ironically insisting that the government is, is imposing laws on people that shouldn't be imposed. so you're seeing this, this happen and demonstrations that we can show this quite vividly, although these demonstrations didn't go into the sort of violence that we've seen in the netherlands and in belgium. but it has to be said that sir. europe will be watching the situation here as to whether it is put in under control by these locked downs, whether they work like they worked earlier in the pandemic. but in many parts of europe, they are a last resort. so people watching austria because this is really a last ditch effort to make things work and her son in saginaw, the latest for us from vienna. thank he santa changing. well let's now get them here from germany and speak to dominic cane. he is in berlin. dominic,
6:07 pm
there's very striking lads from the health minister that we had just a moment ago that by the end of the winter, everyone will either be vaccinated, recovered or dead. that's quite a statement from government, man. yes, mister spans. come again. spawn the can't take a health minister, not ready pulling many punches with comments like that. but the point is that he is contemplating a health situation, which it has to be said is relatively similar to the one that we've just heard. andrew outline for us in austria, and many people here are wondering that perhaps where austria is leading germany might follow why? because the actual number of vaccinated people here is hovering around pretty much the same level as it is in austria, 2 thirds of the population. which means on some estimates around 15000000 adults remain unvaccinated, even though everybody in this country. adults, at least in this country,
6:08 pm
has been aware of the fact that this pandemic is here. and they've also been aware of the fact that the vaccine is free and readily available, right across the country. and they've known that for 6 months or so. so that's on the one side. then you have other ministers angle. it now called the top minister. the chancellor can't take a chancellor saying privately, she believes that the measures that have already been agreed upon are not enough. why? because she looks at the numbers going up on their 2 numbers that really stick in the mind. the 1st is, the total number of cases is now reached $5300000.00 in this country. and the total number of dead is hovering, just below $100.00 thousands, which obviously given them the way that the death toll is rising a few 100 every day. it's gonna hit a 100000 in the course of this week, perhaps the start of next week, a psychological figure figure which many ministers and other politicians will really real from. that's why you hear mister spon saying the sorts of things he's
6:09 pm
been saying today. da, dominic car with all the latest from the allen. thank you, daniel. thank while. meanwhile, frances president, emmanuel lac ron says riots sparked by coven 19 restrictions in the french overseas . territory of guadalupe have created a very explosive situation. his government has now sent a special forces to the caribbean to try to end the unrest. nadine baba has one buildings on fire in one up between the caribbean archipelago of guadalupe. this is french overseas territory, and after nearly a week of civil unrest here, the government in paris is sending reinforcements on top of the $200.00 extra personnel already in place. 50 police special forces have just arrived. these pictures are from a local news channel. ah. 2 a nighttime curfew was imposed on friday, but it hasn't brought com more than 30 people were arrested that night alone.

weapons in the hybrid war, but these people hear an increasingly in your condition. so different duration is really running out of time here. and it seems that look, putting this brush up, one more time to make sure that you're going to accept them. but also on the back door we can see that we have evidence that people are also being slowly been removed to meant to go back to iraq. to come to where they came from, what is very clear that the at least overtly the scale and urgency of the crisis diseased in recent days, that is clear. although public border guards report continued nightly attempts to cross the border by much smaller groups, people wandering down the borderline, looking for vulnerable points, allegedly acting with the help of the belushi border guard, some repelled, of course some don't get through some a push back controversially by the polish border guards on the side, others do make it through small numbers perhaps and can find themselves wandering

6:20 pm
a democracy. and it's related obligations like the convenience of the constitutional conference. i'm holding the elections. you all know that the elections were required one full year at least, may drag on for one and a half years. i hope we can all agree on an independent government that can crites during the remaining time of the transitional period. where as government would lead the country until the scheduled elections go in, assessing has developed a new part in new cannady. this is a key part of the political agreement we saw was that the prime minister should have the power and authority to form an independent technocratic government in absolute liberty. and without any pressure. this is what we sign the agreement for and with a concert, if he has a model and i would like to speak, frankly, i don't have any personal ambitions to remain a figurehead or to join a particular party or group or to gain higher popularity. i'm all driven by the
6:21 pm
responsibility placed on my shoulder. i am guided only by the ambitions and hopes of the 3rd and his people. therefore, i have made up my mind and science political agreement. although i know that many may disagree objective or rejected simply because the people's ambitions and aspirations were much higher than the moment. however, i signed it and i read to read that they do not have any personal game. otherwise, i wouldn't have accepted the office in the 1st place with all my challenges over the past 2 years. the issue of personal gain does not worry me at all. i believe the decision i made is correct and to the best interest of the people. that's why i went forward and signed the political agreement and when they can want to that full interview is sedans, reinstated, prime minister, hum dock on talked to al jazeera, that's on tuesday here at 430 g empty hotel

6:23 pm
13 percent of the total electric gabriella bowditch 12 percent. that's the one quarter of the july, an electron. so those 2 candidates, now i'm in the cast is out there. we've heard this morning talking to the electric funds to convince the votes for the 5 candidates now eliminated from the race. and those 54 percent who didn't boat find to get them to vote for them on the 19th of december when the to run off in the head to head contest on daniel, what does all of this potentially mean from the unrest that we've been seeing that in july, over the last couple of years. well, we've got to extreme candidates cast of the extreme right and bought each of the of the fall left. neither of whom except the politics of their rival, candid us, an electric supporters who also don't accept the kind of politics the that the 2 men espouse. we've talked about change here in the last 2 years. in chile,
6:24 pm
there have been math protests on the street. the constitution is being rewritten that will, hong to mentally change a chilean society, gabriela bought it. she's all in favor of that. that was all his supporters. one of the reasons that the vote for jose antonio cathy has grown and so substantially recent weeks is because many lands opposed about change. they fear communism. returning left wing politics returning. so it's actually they see the ghost of, of the, of charlie and past from the late 1960 s, early seventy's. so they are fighting love for conservative policies, but things to remain the same or to go back how they used to be. they don't want change. so really, we have a very divisive situation. we should have some interesting, a few weeks out of us, daniel showing that with all the natives for us from santiago. thanks so much daniel. well, and now the big a south american pol, a huge victory for venezuela's governing social part, socialist party and regional elections there on sunday. opposition? figures say the result is
6:25 pm
a set back for their fast campaign. since 2017. they boycotted to major elections accusing president nicholas madura as party of fraud and intimidation. sundays turn out was around 40 percent. that's one of the lowest and recent history. well, let's meet to 2. he's a bo, she's in caracas, and theresa, how's the decision not to boycott? actually back, find here, the opposition, do you think? well, we're gonna have to see and wait to see what the opposition has to say, and that's going to happen later today. what i can tell you is that until very late that night, president me pull out my the window and he followers was celebrating. my voter was saying that the revolution has won. but now is the time to start planning a vehicle. this country's economy to help millions of people recover from the enormous crisis that this country has been in, in many, many years. on the other side, i've been also talking to some people who are extremely sad when you go around
6:26 pm
venezuela and you see the economic situation in this country. we're around 80 percent of the population lives in poverty, where a doctor makes around $70.00 a month, a nurse, $3.00 a month, many were asking me what is going to happen now? we need to leave and that's something that has happened. millions of people have left this country. so how can we explain what happened? well, what mostly government control, millions of state employees that went to vote, a very low turn out around 40 percent of the population voted. but also something that answers your question, is that the opposition, the opposition was divided. i have here the national results and the opposition one with 54.3 percent of the votes, while the ruling party got only 45.7, there's a 9 point different nationality and why they lost in so many governorship because the opposition was divided and this is a major set back, 40 opposition,
6:27 pm
so we're gonna have to wait and see what they have to say about what their plan is for the future. but certainly this is a major setback for venezuela opposition. and to reason there has been questions around legitimacy that before does the low turn out that we're talking about 40 percent? does that affect the perceived legitimacy of the results we're talking about? well, we're gonna have to wait. i mean, it's very, very important. what's been happening here in venezuela for the 1st time in 4 years, the opposition participated in the election. they have voice caught in the past 2 elections. there is also the presence of a european union for the 1st time. in 15 years. the european union has agreed to monitor the elections in venezuela. there's over a 100 international servers that have been deployed to $22.00 states across the country. there's legal experts, human rights lawyers, among other things i wanted to, we know totally the voting process but also the electoral campaign and everything that has been going on in this country since october via report their final report
