of a balance between responsibility and solidarity among member states we all share the benefits we all share the burden the migration pact includes compulsory pre entry screening with fingerprinting and a health check a faster 12 week asylum processing target and a sponsored return scheme that would see member states take responsibility for returning migrants on behalf of other member states. the plan abandons previous efforts to relocate new arrivals around the 27 member states something opposed to by the likes of hungry i'm paul and n.g.o.s see that could create havoc in the mediterranean. member states front line member states like italy greece and. will be reluctant to cooperate if there isn't any sort of mandatory relocation and then they might not disembark our ships that have been rescued and then migrants

remain stranded so a lot will depend on the willingness of either member states which in the last 5 years has not been a very high the commission hopes the scenes of a foreign migrant camp on the greek island of laser holes will be the catalyst for change. morea is a stark reminder we need to find sustainable solutions on migration and we all have to step up. moreas residents know rehired in another makeshift camp can only hope that action comes sooner rather than later. i want to go now to brussels or to correspond above of a zoe who is following this story for you barbara so will they rise to the occasion what are you hearing. it depends on how you look at it of course the there were a lot of wonderful sounding words there was a lot of paper there of a lot of new proposed legislation but then listening and listening to the commissioners they began stumbling through the minefield off their own proposals

because it is difficult it take for instance the proposed sponsorship for people to bring being brought back to their home countries how is that going to work take for instance 300 afghans who might not have the right to sign him then will hungary who as we know notoriously doesn't want to take migrants in take the sponsorship for them take them in or will they hire the flight to take them back to kabul will they talk to the afghan government how is this going to work nobody really in brussels knows journalists here posed a lot of questions and we didn't get many answers so already this overhaul has well has elicited a lot of criticism from n.g.o.s barbara because what they fear is that refugees who are now currently in those abysmal camps will not be spread

over europe that they have to stay there where they are. maybe the camps will be a bit better but no they will not be spread out because there is not obligatory quota in that to that much the commission really said new we will not force member states to people take people in if they are not willing to we will not really. from our by our own sort of administrative powers so yes people will stay in thames they might be slightly better there is a promise that the whole process of asking for asylum and being considered or not being sent back is going to work faster but we've heard that promise for 567 years and it has never happened so why should it happen now again cams will stay they might just be a bit nicer and the you might spend a bit more money on them well that's the thing though isn't it in conclusion it kind of sounds like the him please correct me that the commission just kind of gave up on this whole idea of redistributing refugees across the continent because of

countries like hungry i feel you quite right line a because they have given up the populace have won this battle more or less politically because they have really put up so much resistance to this they have a created so much political havoc around it that the commission says ok if we can force them we can do it it's there is no purpose in trying for there and now we have to sort of call for 4. solidarity and just of asked people to do something voluntarily and the question really remind it remains after this why should other countries looking at eastern europe then say ok if they don't have to do it why should we do it so it might even reduce the will to take in migrants and to take in asylum seekers even further than we see now reporting from brussels thank you. well as i know about our other top

a story that we're tracking for you this hour the russian opposition leader alexina volley has been discharged from the hospital in berlin where he was being treated for poisoning the kremlin critic posted this photo that you see right here him sitting on a bench that he posted on social media after leaving the hospital and wrote that he still has a long we have dilatation ahead don't show us on american described the case as attempted murder after a lab analysis showed he was poisoned with a nova chalk nerve agent not only was airlifted to germany last month after becoming sick during a visit to siberia russia has said there is no evidence of a crime. and you have your chief political editor mikaela kushner has more on his condition. well the hospital said that he was well enough to leave the hospital which he has done over the past 24 hours for sure and that it's still unclear what

long term effect there will be since then while ago. himself was taken to social media and he posted on instagram reporting the moment he saw himself in the mirror for the very 1st time where he said that he thought he was a character from lord of the rings after those 24 days in intensive care 16 of those in artificially induced coma it is usually sarcastic tone he speaks of the recovery still to make that there should be play station on medical prescription because doctors have advised him to spend more time playing games and also taking to social media which i'm sure he will be do more in the coming days of the big question of course now as we've seen a photograph online where he is in a park whether he will return to russia from what he says in that post where he talks about the physiotherapy that he still requires this doesn't sound like he's

going to leave his doctors necessarily anytime soon because he says he still needs them but clearly a step forward in his recovery and a new. code from the who's also referencing to that he may have putin saying that provocation failed so. there reporting earlier what does poisoning mean for russian german relations are specifically for the controversial north stream to gas pipeline between the 2 countries well earlier i put that very question to you're going to heart foreign policy spokesman for chance on the americans conservatives and the german parliament and this is what he said. we have a discussion on that last train to pipeline because this project is a widely discussed in germany and europe over the last years about looking to the real situation business trying to i think. this pipeline is not

a. good running or should project because i think we have so many chances to get russian gas to europe they don't need north stream 2 and a german government would decide to bend north spring 2 of that could be done by law but then they have to pay council confrontation to all the companies set up and participating in that project and some of them potentially of property would be happy to get money from the from the state for stepping out of that project which is maybe and economic failure in the future the 2nd question is for me not to pipe as a problem the problem is their russian gas or the quantity of russian gas in european and german nets i think we need to. supply off gas to europe and even also from russia but we have to think about what is acceptable to our independence from one source and we need

a discussion in germany in europe about how much gas russian gas we can accept in our pipes and the 2nd question is where it comes from bad will be from where it will be transported and therefore the question on north stream tool is for me not the main question on thinking about measures against russia in this case. next much of europe is seeing a surge in corona virus infections causing restrictions that were lifted just a couple of months ago and now being reimposed or here in germany the corona warning tracing app is seen as an essential tool to help combat the spread of the virus especially as winter. social distancing hygiene measures and masks these are the prime tools the ploy by germany's all thirty's to limit the spread of the corona virus in the country since june these measures have been complemented by a new tool germany's contact tracing app 100 days after it was 1st launched the

corona warren app was then loaded more than 18000000 times not that many considering that the app could run up to 50000000 smartphones in germany still it is by far the most downloaded coronavirus tracing app in europe despite some hiccups along the way the app is overall considered a success but some issues remain germany's health minister. said only about 5000 users who tested positive for cove in 19 use the app to warn others this if only around half of the absolute there is who get a positive result then form their contacts so this means that when there is confirmation that the test result is positive it would be very helpful to just press the button to inform your contacts about it that's one form in the app developers say work is underway to create

a european gateway so that the german app can communicate with those from 10 other european countries including italy spain and poland. with cases rising across much of europe and the difficult winter months nearing a europe wide approach to contact tracing might prove a useful tool to help contain the spread of the virus. what is are now are some of the other stories making news around the world. the eiffel tower in paris has reopened after it was evacuated because of a security threat on several 100 people were let off the landmark following a telephone bomb threat officers searched the area but said they did not find any explosives there for tower is a frequent target of bomb hoaxes. thousands have taken to the streets of bald garia for an independence day march against the government people gathered outside parliament in sofia to denounce the resignation of prime minister boy yoko or boris off and his cabinet they accuse them of corruption and having

links to all the gods. and another country plunged in deep political crisis the president of belarus alexander lukashenko has been sworn into office in a surprise inauguration ceremony despite mass protests against his reelection. assumed his 6th consecutive presidential term with hundreds of top officials present although the inauguration itself was not publicly announced well it comes on the heels of a disputed election that's parked weeks of mass protests the opposition in both says the poll was rigged the u.s. and the e.u. are pushing for sanctions against officials involved in the vote. and we can now i'm now joined by one of the belarusian opposition leaders veronica step kahlo a very good day miss accept kahlo 1st of all were you surprised when you heard that

alexander lukashenko has been sworn in for another term. well actually i think older are gross people the russian people were surprised because he she did the ceremony because usually when our distant money is open publicly open and many many guests international guests well there's people are invited for this much sunlight and they stand the entire procedure the entire ceremony was hidden just goes to show that location is near it for the various people who are protesting against the poll results for the 48 laws diesel rated because we do not accept him as a president elect he became an illegal in egypt and president of demos and he is not able to present below list on international arena we do as people we are going to fight for our freedom and democracy in the well exactly what is there anything that you can do now. well actually yes we have negotiations with international community and we let them know what's going on

bellerose that's our cities which are happening in belarus will lead a with let them know what's going on in billers prisons how the people are beaten up how the people of the we should how the people are put in the prisons and to we as i said we are going to demand the question got to leave as soon as possible and 2 are to release all political prisoners prisoners and to announce 3 in the house new presidential elections where alternative candidates will be able to but dissipate in these elections and this then is going to be dick and they stand this which is going to be hopeless and open and him. and him of democracy at that these are your aspirations but for now he's not going anywhere he's just been sworn in what does the international community need to do what can they do. well 1st of all as iraq in union order is indeed the opponent and that is him as a person among. all european countries do not recognize him as a president elect and they should not have any kind of negotiations with location

that the european countries and the rest of the contras in the world should never accept in ambassadors from the question because except in their best as we were understand to be acknowledged him as a president so they should refuse him and lucas and doesn't have any support inside the country he has now are around 30 percent of supporters inside the building was so taken into consideration the lack of international support is the level of international support it's just a matter of time when the question to will be and we just hope it's going to happen is this possible but will never give up their want to. thank you so very much for speaking to us thank you for the coronavirus found ever has caused massive losses of income for people all over the world according to the international labor association all workers lost almost 11 percent of their income in the 1st 3 quarters of 2020 that's a total of $3.00 trillion dollars while logged down measures and close factories

and offices have affected almost everyone but lower middle income countries have been the hardest hit more and more families have been arriving and sell palos new 5 a month bringing everything they own gilmer gone salvias chavez is building a temporary shanty for his family prior to the coronavirus pandemic he worked as a day laborer and construction. the downward spiral began when he stopped receiving job offers. your brother wouldn't our landlord wouldn't let us pay the rent later and because we couldn't pay on time he kicked us out then we found out that a lot of people who are going through the same thing we're building shanties here so now we're moving in. the international labor organization estimates that in the 2nd quarter of 202017.3 percent of working hours were lost worldwide due to the coronavirus measures including the closure of construction sites factories and

offices in terms of employment that means a total of 495000000 jobs have been lost. government measures including stimulus packages and short time work allowance have somewhat mitigated the financial consequences but the ilo says it's mainly developed countries that can afford this emerging economies have limited possibilities the results are poverty and desperation. always for there so we asked a guy ryder the a director general of the international labor organization which regions have been hit the hardest well the numbers show very very clearly that it is the americas and particularly south and central america which is suffering the worst both in terms of job destruction and loss of income which you highlighted so very well in your introduction and this again is linked very closely to the fact that the pandemic has taken hold so firmly in that region the 2 things go together after the americas

you know the pain is pretty equally distributed amongst all of the other regions. now to the u.s. that country has begun 3 days of tributes to the late supreme court justice and liberal icon ruth bader ginsburg her coffin has been taken to the supreme court building where she served for 27 years her people their people rather will be able to pay their final respects for 2 days before a casket is taken to the u.s. capitol where why the state and a bitter political battle is playing out as we speak over president trump's intention to nominate her replacement before the election as the nation pauses to remember her remarkable life. for days people have been a legend at the supreme court. and in brooklyn new york where ruth bader

ginsburg grew up in the 1930 s. and forty's the daughter of jewish immigrants from eastern europe she lived in a modest house in an ethnically mixed neighborhood ginsburg's career was a life long battle against sexism despite being one of a handful of women to attend harvard law school in the 1950 s. she was rejected for prestigious training by a us supreme court justice because of her gender she was paid less than male counterparts in university appointments she eventually worked for the american civil liberties union and in the volatile 1970 s. she went on to argue cases in front of the u.s. supreme court to advance gender equality. president jimmy carter selected her in 1980 for an appeals court seat in 1993 president bill clinton nominated her to be the 2nd ever female justice on the u.s. supreme court. there she made a name for herself as the leader of the court's liberal wing and later in life

gained unlikely famous r b g a celebrity justice who inspired countless women and girls. worried about you know that i had a i have recently a track. it is amazing that at my advanced age 85. so many people want to take the patient with me. with ginsburg steph the supreme court has lost an iconic liberal and her replacement could tilt the court in a conservative direction for decades. and i want to take you now our to washington to our birth she is there in his poll she's standing outside the supreme court where our b.g. is lying in repose and members of the public will be able to pay their respects in the coming days in is good to see you give us a sense of the atmosphere of the scenes behind you. let know

it's really quiet and it's very different from the night before bed people came here to the stairs of the supreme court to hold rituals to pray to put on candles but it was much more of a political rally the other nights but today it's quiet people are here to mourn to pay their respects of ruth bader ginsburg. and of course as we just also reported i mean she was a an a likely pop culture icon as well obviously it is there's so much more to wear a towering figure well minus a little bit about what her legacy will be. indeed i mean her career was outstanding she was she was an icon not only for older people or elderly people but also for youngsters you know there are t. shirts out with r.p.g. you find hard to find ted's everything jewelry so she was really someone who stood

for liberty she was a real real true libertarian the most rigid liberal supreme court justice probably ever and that's also one reason at least what she said to herself that she didn't want to leave this job she is someone who really empowered and inspired so many people sure mainly women because she was a true trooper for women rights for quality against discrimination of homosexuality but she also helped men for example she fought for the right that men could stay home to take care of their children as women were allowed by law by then so she really covered everything when it came to equality and this is the biggest legacy i think she will leave behind and in the meantime as as the judge is lying in repose there is a heated fight go ahead a political fight going on to tell us about that. right well it took only

actually a couple of hours after the announcement that ruth bader ginsburg had to diet. majority leader of the senate mitch mcconnell announced that they want to replace her seat before election day and that caused a huge controversy because many people say the voters should decide who the next president will be and then this person should pick the supreme court justice because this is a lifelong appointment and the next person really who will shape the future of the united states so it's highly controversial that donald trump is going to announce his pick on saturday today remembering that tragedy i thank you so very much in his poll in washington. that does it for us so you're watching the news up next made in germany and this edition focuses on gender and racial pay grabs also don't forget you can get all the latest information by heading to our
