from what's happened in recent months. few actions are simply negligent and they aren't intervening the pandemic has worsened again since the end of july and they are apparently hoping that the problem will go away by itself. after 1st declining to deal with the accusations that the big step here to minister of health is ready to state his case despite about 10000 people having died so far from the disease in the spanish capital he sees no reason to be self-critical. so without magic it is a safe city it has a fantastic health care system we already saw that in spring and considering all measures taken we certainly should not disregard the possible social economic consequences for citizens in the last friday the central government finally imposed a temporary state of emergency in madrid effectively over powering their regional government since then strict rules have been imposed again local only allowed to

leave the city in exceptional cases the virus would be less destructive if i'll put it to actually did that job it's a sentence that you hear more and more on the streets of madrid people are increasingly tired of a political system in which power games seem more important than pragmatic crisis management and they hardly see any sign of improvement. dr and overall it isn't done yet she takes a short coffee break 3 hours after her shift was supposed to end and will then attention 2 more patients. she's worried that the coming days will even be longer for her and her colleagues. and in germany authorities have brought in the new restrictions asked coronavirus cases in some cities reach what they call worrying levels the southern city of munich is now classed as a virus hotspot private and public gatherings that a limited to 10 people and only 25 guests are allowed to attend bigger events like

weddings and birthdays in the capital berlin and the western city of cologne new curbs put in place over the weekend bars clubs and restaurants have to shot by left at nights. joined by andrew allman he's a member of the german parliament for the freedom a critic party and also an expert in infectious diseases himself mr allman one more german cities becoming coronavirus hotspots are you worried. of course i'm worried because the development of those numbers are increasing and it's about time that we traced try to face this problem with this lawyer to strategy right now we're still working on all the. methods to keep these numbers down. but. there's a lot of confusion about new containment measures every german state seems to be introducing different rules isn't it time that we have a coordinated approach with the same rules for everyone. oh this is definitely

clear we need a cord approach and uniform rules throughout germany broke go that far to see that even within the european union because one problem that we faced in the springtime was the case of a lockdown and also the closing of orders we have to actually appreciate that the survivors is diffusely all around the world and also all around europe and we cannot cut down on the hotspots we have to look at the clusters but we have to actually uproot this situation worse smarter more intelligent to be sure that the this raid will be slowed down but to be honest any measure that we take will never give us 100 percent security it will just reduce the risk of spreading this virus and i think that is the important part now we have to understand and that's why it's so important to have a very smart to strategy because we have more because capacities besides the p.c.r. because these chemicals these are already limited but we have new tests coming up we know the global community and for example the antigen rapid tests. there

was strict and many cases have some bizarre side effects but limits for example are not allowed to stay in the hole to a neighboring which is sort of half an hour's drive from here but there are lots of travel to greece how can you explain that to normal people. i actually cannot explain this to normal people because i think these measures are an appropriate minister just last week group needs to go said that it is important during the fall the cation time that you should do take your vacation here within germany and do not travel outside of our country when all of a sudden hotel argumentations or. want to call it a holiday apartment or you're not allowed to visit anymore if you are coming from a region here in germany where there is a higher incidence rate of infections so this doesn't really make so much sense i think you could still travel through germany if you take the important measures with taking distance hiking rules and wearing

a mask and can be combined in this to strategies as well and room on a number of parliament for the liberal f.t.p. party thank you welcome to time not to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world this year's nobel economics prize is going to 2 americans with nearly a $1000000.00 and robert wilson specializes in ocean siri that work helps and trading everything from at port landing slots to buying and selling goods online at least $21.00 people are now dead in central vietnam off the torrential rains flooded large parts of the country some $50000.00 people had to leave affected areas or it is born of more rain to come neighboring laos and cambodia also been hit. large parts of india's financial hub mumbai been hit by a massive power outage traffic lights on p intersections stop working and several

as the effect of the system we see every day that these brutalities are manufactured and meted out on the bodies of dalit women. people dollar transfer people and even muslim women and muslim community as a whole juts not so dark horse the state the police and the indian society as a whole accountable for the crimes committed against the dalit community and women in particular. the 4 accused in the hot russkies have been arrested but serious questions have been raised against the autocracies administration. the police have been accused of watching the case and of cremating the victim's body without the consent or presence of a family a former state police chief says the case was handled insensitively he says the woman's caste played a major role really reached through

a police station or rather regard to belong grover to religion group along. with what we got across in the sword these things berta and in this thing the girl and her family they were deceiving or rather the length of the incident has once again shown a light on the shocking number of crimes against women particularly dalit women in india and demands to confront the issue of growing ever louder. a ceasefire brokered by russia in the disputed region of the go on a car a box has failed to hold a budge on and armenia blaming each other for breaking the truce and escalating 2 weeks of fierce clashes shelling has killed several civilians and wounded stars and small conflict between the 2 former soviet republics dates back to the 1990 s. . out for an evening walk on the streets of ganja

azerbaijan 2nd largest city taking comfort in its strength ceasefire. a safe spot that hasn't held the following shelling in a residential area of ganja locals described a night of terror. in the peace our sleeping it was around 2 in the morning we heard an explosion and after that our house blew up it was watching those that in debbie did no damage to not rock fell on my face. i opened my eyes and another rocket hit. i said to myself what is this all i can see was clouds of dust. as a by john also ignored the cease fire releasing this footage of as strikes on alleged i mean in military positions. on the ground the brutality of war strikes time meaning mourners trying to come to

terms with the loss of a family member. a prisoner exchange meant to take place sunday was also part of the ceasefire the leader of the so proclaimed main republic of nagorno-karabakh says azerbaijan is not living up to its part of the deal. according to the agreement this process was supposed to take place today with the support of the red cross. there are hundreds of dead body. he's lying there and the government is indifferent to their. well over good. as about john says it's a mania that is acting in bad faith. it seems that the armenian side continues to use the ceasefire to its advantage their attacks on the civilian population of azerbaijan these events were also covered by foreign journalists in our country. it's now been 2 weeks of fighting inflaming old hatreds.

that decades of negotiations have failed to put to rest. the u.s. senate has started hearings on how any kone barrett's presence donald trump's latest supreme court nominee 4 day here in south specter to be a bit of partisan fights ahead of the november presidential election if approved replace liberal justice ruth bader ginsburg who recently died aged 87. at $48.00 a judge could shape the supreme court for many decades to come 3 years ago trump appointed the staunch conservative to the federal court of appeals in chicago she has indicated support for gun rights trumps immigration policies and restrictions on abortion and l g b t rights group called her quote an absolute threat feminists fear she may move to restrict abortion rights in 2013 as

a professor at the university of notre dame she was quoted as saying life begins at conception senate democrats grilled her on her religious views during the 27000 appeals court confirmation hearings and in california senator dianne feinstein was even accused of anti-catholic bigotry i think your case professor. when you read your speeches. the conclusion one draws is that the dog lives loudly within you barrett has said repeatedly that her faith would not interfere with her judicial decisions if barrett is confirmed to be for election day on of them a 3rd one of the 1st cases in front of her will be about the fate of the affordable care act known as obamacare trump wants to invalidate the law which provides health care to millions of americans. i'm not joined by william cooper from

a us election to william what can we expect from today's or republicans are of course going to say that she is a qualified excellent judge who deserves to be on the supreme court democrats are going to counter that that is irrelevant that she is a radical that her of views both personal and while being a federal district judge that she currently is don't align with the views of many americans and that she will further threaten a lot of democratic progressive causes 1st and foremost as we heard just now in the report the affordable care act otherwise known as obamacare that there's been many efforts by conservatives and by republicans to strike down this health care reform and that the final nail in the coffin might be coming up with amy tony barrett on the court so that's the worst i can hear from people on this energy committee we already know a little bit of what she herself might say because her state is already out and a lot of it is very personal and a lot about her family and her background but there is one thing that jumps out where she says a judge must apply the law as written not as the judge wishes it were that might

come as some comfort to nonpartisans or to democrats but of course this is pretty boilerplate kind of rhetoric no judge is ever going to say that they are politically you know bent one way or the other of course they're always going to say they're going to look at the law look at the facts and rule accordingly so why is this supreme court such a potato we're. just a couple weeks from the election some polls show that americans would prefer that this supreme court vacancy vacated by the death of ruth bader ginsburg be. held off until there's an election to we know the next president is of course there is nothing stopping president trump and republicans who are republican allies in the senate from doing what they've done they have the right to do it many people say whether it was right to do it regardless that she does have a right to do it the supreme court now with ruth bader ginsburg having been on it was a 54 split 5 justices appointed by republicans for by democrats if this

goes through as republicans would like we'll see a $63.00 tilt which means that for decades going forward there can be a almost permanent conservative lock on the supreme court which of course has a huge impact on what laws actually stand in the united states so what role will any one of our the play on the hold with. i mean she has she has many rulings on her record she has many personal statements on her record we can only lean so much on history there is a counter history actually of many justices thought to be conservative with a conservative background a conservative record being appointed by conservative presidents when they finally get to the supreme court being faced with different issues different cases to adjudicate that actually they've leaned more liberal most recently john roberts the chief justice. upholding the most recent challenge the affordable care act much to the frustration and the anger of many republicans let's not forget that amy tony

barrett in addition to possibly hearing yet another case on the affordable care act could be overseeing a case about the very election itself as donald trump has promised if things don't go his way he might bring this is supreme court and we could be seeing again what we saw in 2000 when that election was decided by the supreme court in the favor of republicans interesting. thank you. scientists who spend more than a year studying climate change in the arctic have returned to base with rather alarming findings the german ship. just docked at its own port of a half now after $389.00 days drifting through the arctic scientists on all say the arctic ocean is warming and warn of ice free summers there in just decades there's a closer look at that historic expedition. it's september 2019 the german research vessel palash then set out on a historic expedition with hundreds of scientists from 20 countries.

their destination is the polar region there him to gain new insights into why was swiftly changing climate you know told by the ice breaker docked onto a huge ice floe and locks into the ice the scientists set up their state of the art instruments to money toward the flaws lifecycle from its formation to its credible destruction at the end of the arctic summer and. the arctic is heating up at a much faster rate than the rest of the world we see a dramatic change we need to understand that process as the arctic is an integral part of the global climate system if we don't understand what's happening in the arctic we can't predict the climate in our later toots that's what we're here for we need to collect the data so that we have a solid foundation for basing political decisions. from their floating lab the

scientists took water samples examined the arctic flora and fauna measured the sea ice and launched weather balloons. all in extreme conditions for months they worked in total darkness at times the temperature drop to almost minus 40 degree celsius getting supplies through to the researchers was a constant challenge. but everything went according to plan until the koran a pandemic threatened to undermine the complicated logistics chain to pull ashton was forced to temporarily abandon the flow and head to the no vision port of. the call up let me have that. we faced huge challenges because of the pandemic we were forced to replant the entire logistics how to replace the crew deliver supplies and refuel the ship we had to complete and we organized the entire process it's a unique situation and we're happy we found a quick solution or one of the things that's

a very good laptop. bag at the flow research activities were resumed as expected rising temperatures credulously melted the ice until in late july the flow finally broke apart. the groups trembled to safety equipment. in the last 12 months they have collected over $100.00 terabytes of data which will take several years to evaluate but one thing is already clear the polar ice is melting and at an even faster rate than the scientists feared. in basketball the los angeles lakers have won their 1st n.b.a. championship title in a decade be the miami heat to claim of $42.00 series victory the team dedicated their win to former player kobe bryant who died in a helicopter crash with his daughter and 7 others in germany. in
