their thousands once again calling for a prime minister per your chair not to resign the protesters vowed to remain until their demands were met. the next morning the government. is arrested opposition leaders and removed demonstrators come types in front of the prime minister's office. is also banned gatherings of more than 5 people and the publication of news it seems a security threat. to. the anti-government rallies started in july apart from fresh elections and a new constitution the opposition also wants to limit the powers of the king which has not gone down well with thai royalists. i think they were the supporters are right here because they love the country we love the country as well i'm not worried about violence because both sides are doing what they think is best for the

country but stoffel stick break out between opponents and supporters of the monarchy. thailand's world family is backed by the military and traditionally revered by the population but king matthau what cheer along cohen is less popular than his father who died in 2016 the kings moshe kate met with chance in a 3 fingered salute unthinkable in earlier times the gesture has become a pro democracy symbol apart from the hunger games film series better to tell a tarion regime. partially also have stifled public criticism of the monarchy but the king has stirred dissent with his extravagant lifestyle and long holidays abroad cheering the pandemic. opposition leader a non number called the king on stage during the protests. the barking does not reside in thailand i'd like to ask directly what's so bad a guy living in thailand. he was later arrested with the anger boiling over the

government is keen to put a lid on the protests any way it can oh let's bring in journalist here from bangkok much us what's happening in bangkok at the moment. yeah it seems like they're pro-democracy activists are not willing to give up so quickly if despite the then political guttering stick was issued this morning about 1000 of them on now gathering in central bangkok in the main shopping district of the city and. no one of the nature intersections they're calling for the release of other activists that were arrested this morning. initially tried to stop them from staging this protest but at some points there were too many protesters for them to hender. pushed back a little bit about just a few minutes ago they issued a warning saying that this protest is in need following the issue of the much as

a decree this morning and they're warning that every participant might get arrested . but his we're seeing live pictures of a bunch of central bangkok right now with a protest going on these photos have been going on for several months now why has the government declared a state of emergency now. it is morning the government said it's extremely necessary to issue this emergency creates i'm in pain peace and order one of the main reasons they cited was an event yesterday when a royal motorcade boss briefly obstructed by pro-democracy demonstrators the motorcade was carrying the queen and son off to count king in thailand and it took a while for his motorcade to pass through to protest they were shouting protest

slogans at the motorcade and this was a very unusual a thing to see here in thailand. a mostly. always used to tremor through completely clear streets that are always create hours ahead before they arrive but for them to go through a protest site was very unusual but many high stakes question why this even has happened for sure about. options for motorcades to travel and out of streets to turn on so some suspect that's the government even wanted to provoke them at this time. of the government the crackdown seems to be further fueling protests and sort of stopping them to the thai government make a mistake here. if it seems that pro-democracy activists have now more angry at the government and maybe are also more desperate but i'm not

sure how disaggregation bridge play out i'm receiving today this morning and throughout the day that the government has a lot of power and that's. so much us and police forces the government so many pro-democracy activists might also can't know that they obviously don't want to get arrested for issuing. speaking pinioned so i'm not sure yet if the government review able to stop the protest with those. messages but yes in a bunco for us thank you very much. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world kyrgyzstan's president sauron by genco has resigned after 10 days of protests the unrest follows the disputed parliamentary election this month and because has promised to step down but only after new elections were cold he now says he will resign immediately

to prevent clashes between security forces and protesters demanding his removal. new zealand's prime minister just sent our durness said she will resign as leader of labor if the party doesn't win the general election this saturday she made the comments during the final leaders' debate polls show a durned party has a comfortable lead over the rival center right national party with. hundreds of israelis protested outside the supreme court in tel aviv on wednesday they are calling for an investigation into potential involvement by prime minister benjamin netanyahu in a submarine scandal new affidavit suggests the prime minister pressured government officials to spend billions on warships from germany. heavy rain and flooding as killed at least 15 people in southern india these images are from the city of hyderabad where police say 25 centimeters of rain fell in one day authorities have been using boats to evacuate residents from a low lying parts of the city. germany has both

a record increase in covert cases with more than 6 and a half 1000 new infections in a 24 hour period that's have a look now at how quickly new infections. in the past 7 days we were at 2828 cases last wednesday october 8th the numbers then kept rising there's a bit of a dip you can see here when nor all okola health department report numbers over the weekend and then you see that steep rise over there to where we are today at 6638 newly registered covert 9000 infections with numbers more than doubling in one week it means the virus is growing exponentially the figures come just hours after the chancellor angela merkel met with the leaders of germany's 16 federal states to agree new measures to slow the spread of the virus. so i've convinced that the actions we take and do not take in the coming days and

weeks will be decisive in answering the question of how we will get through the pandemic to refuse upon me common then is then yeah does the who we are seeing a rise in the rate of infections a steep rise and there is a very high rate of infection in certain regions of germany and the awards in fact let's get more on this story from did i be a political correspondent and one of those shows what's behind these rising infection numbers of an elf. well there are there's more testing so that leads to more positive seems to meet august here in germany does mean that in $1.00 and the $1200000.00 tests carried each week and also several laboratories warned that there were started to be overwhelmed that there was a backlog they were starting to reach their testing capacity limits also of course there's a number of data infections here in germany that reached

a dot of march of stated was more than $6600.00 infections daily it is alarming but if you put that in comparison to neighboring countries well germany still says much better if you look at france for example there's a 20000 daily inspections there on the other side the czech republic yesterday counted for more than 900-9500 infections for a population that's 8 times less than of germany so yes there are hotspots and infection waits 410-0000 inhabitants here in germany that has increased exponentially and this is worrying about germany and of these pandemic much better than the neighboring countries so far so it's also america met with 16 state premiers yesterday what has been agreed upon between them. well this was a marathon negotiation between the 16 i mean these are presidents and chancellor america and the regions what they have agreed on is that regions that are deemed

hot spots will social gatherings to 10 people maximum and gatherings in private spaces will be limited to 2 households together maximum now is considered as such when there's more than 15 factions 480-0000 inhabitants but now if an area because more than $35.00 new infections of 100000 inhabitants all the period of 7 days then mosques will also become mandatory you know places where people can come in close contact with one another of course those measures would be a bit less strict in non hot spots for example you'll be able to gather up to 25 people and also i'd like to highlight a 5 that we're talking a lot about a curfew like in paris for example where people are so bidden to go out past a certain hour there's no such thing here in germany here restaurants and bars we closed between the hours of 11 pm and 6 am and that's already been implemented in cities like bedding and frankford but the people are still able to go out.

german media are called in john's america saying she was not happy with the results of that meeting why is that if you can. well different regions different situation so it was difficult to find a consensus for example on traveling modalities for people coming from hotspots and that's will be discussed domestic travel will be discussed further in early november between the chancellor and the 16 minister presidents. political correspondent thank you. well germany is one of several european countries where cases appear to be rising massively french president cause announced a nighttime curfew to try to stop the spread from. catalonia region of spain also introducing new restrictions. restaurant owners in paris will be sending their customers home very early from saturday that's when a nighttime curfew goes into force people won't be allowed out between 9 pm and 6

am except for essential purposes the politically said would be our objective is to reduce the private contacts that they're the most dangerous contacts. those sociable moments when we loosen up when with people outside our family units the curfews in response to the high number of new infections and increasing strain on hospitals 40 percent of the intensive care beds in the paris region are already occupied by covert patients. the pressure is growing we also have to care for other patients and the system can quickly reach its limits i'm very concerned about what will happen in the coming weeks. or. hospitals and many french regions have already activated their emergency plans. a bleak situation too in spain since last friday nobody's been allowed to enter or exit madrid for

non-essential purposes. and catalonia is now shutting all bars and restaurants except those offering takeaway service. over 33000 people have died from cove in 1000 in spain since the beginning of the pen demick and the government's alarmed it could lose control of the outbreak again let's not fool ourselves the next weeks will be complicated. primary care physicians in barcelona have gone on strike calling for better working conditions and resources to deal with the virus and epidemiologist warned that a shortage of contact tracers across the country is making it impossible to break chains of infection it may not quite be a love affair but the face mask has become a constant companion in italy where it has been compulsory in public since last week rule breakers face a 1000 euro fine the government's also urged the public to be cautious when

gathering at home by wearing masks around vulnerable friends and family members and keeping groups small. let me be clear we will not send the police into private homes the private sphere must be protected but we must all be prepared to act prudently to manage this phase. in italy the intensive care beds are slowly filling up again but in contrast to the early months of the pandemic point italy became the 1st country in europe to be badly hit the government now has been able to implement a test and trace system to help suppress another wave of devastation. in european look at the infection situation i'm now joined by jerry czerny. with the czech university of life sciences in prague what do you see as the greatest threat to breaking this 2nd wave that's currently washing over europe.

i think it's. already tired throw mud on their necks and many people are just that don't want to follow all the rules and regulations which are being. i have implemented it in the different use that 8 hour days in the 2nd think that there is also not such a strong player from greenpeace to face the crazies or maybe not so strong as it was in the spring because they had to take a lot of makers and smear her purse our very own book who are from the people they are also very expensive for the economy. and. it's quite hard for them. so we see in countries like germany and denmark just a few months ago they were held up as role role models and now behave badly how do you explain that. i think that

situation looked everywhere all during the summer months and that therefore people in most of the yukon 3 were not so much of art. buyers of the on the lakes and everybody was happy it's the worst crisis is already over and that we can start to leave our normal lives again but that was moved through to viruses still here it's their circle weights are going to people and we have to behave according to the u.s. there's still some countries that seem to be getting a prize what can other countries across europe learn from those countries. ok there are like a few countries which are who doing really very well for example who eat. according to the number sweden it's there out of the 2nd wave there are few things worth thinking. if you're going to. if you cannot. get any to grow

exponentially in that you are in your early on in your state you really have to have implemented really hard countermeasures to control that. some kinds of lockdowns or at least lead to closing schools or supermarkets us for. mencius and so once along but this is not the way we can be whole for the wrong time so assume that it's going. to break out of the control we also have implemented some like a soft. soft on her may 1st some paint some waste of smart protein like him or her own parents who seem to send out forms and so on and so on but it also requires quite high. by the high credit of the government are immense and of the house to say these which are. implementing the truth these measures because. people have to understand that this is for

a day or their benefit and not for or did a bad bad. bad things like they're monitoring their normal life and so on are all the just jury chinee from the czech university of life sciences in prague thank you very much for joining us on the unions. front and if you very much action story here from the far. and after some other coronavirus developments elsewhere in the world the world health organization warns an additional $10000.00 children per month could die from malnutrition due to additional economic strains linked to the pandemic according to a register of authorized medicines russia has approved a 2nd covert 19 vaccine and the chinese city of qingdao has fired health officials after an outbreak of infections broken nearly 2 months stretch without new cases city officials say they are still working to test all 9000000 residents after the
