i think it's best for the country partials 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. marking does not reside in thailand i'd like to ask directly what's so bad about 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 let's bring in journalist mathias pierre from bangkok with us what's happening in bangkok at the moment yeah it seems like the pro-democracy activists are not willing to give up so quickly despite the then critical guttering state was issued this morning about 1000 of them on now get a ring in central bangkok in the main shopping district of the city and. know one

of the nature intersections they're calling for the release of other activists were arrested this morning police initially tried to stop them from states in 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 busy issue of the matches or to create this morning and they're warning that every participant might get arrested. but his was seeing live pictures of bangkok central bangkok right now with the 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 decree to maintain 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 the son off counting in thailand and it took a while for his motorcade to pass through the protest of as they were shouting in 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 side was very unusual but many high stakes question why this even has happened for should have. options for motorcades to tremont 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 if the thai government make a mistake here. if i should say it seems that pro-democracy activists have now more angry at the government and maybe also more desperate but i'm not sure how this situation really play out. today this morning and throughout the day that the government has a lot of power and that's. the government so many pro-democracy activists might also know that they obviously don't want to get arrested for issuing. speaking pinioned so i'm not sure yet if the government really able to stop the protests. but.

for us thank you very much as a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. president on by gen because resigned after 10 days of protests rest follows a disputed parliamentary election earlier this month. 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. zealand's prime minister. has said she will resign as leader of the labor party if the party doesn't win the general election this saturday she made the comments during the final leader's debates the polls show a party has a comfortable lead over the rival center right national party. in hong kong several pro-democracy activists are in court facing illegal assembly charges police raided the personal office of media publish an activist jimmy lie again buys one of

several pro-democracy leaders who have been arrested on the hong kong's new national security law imposed by beijing. germany has posted a recording crease and covert cases with more than 6 and a half 1000 new infections in a 24 hour period let's have a look at just how quickly the new infections have so in the past 7 days we were there 2828 cases last wednesday october the 8th the numbers then kept rising as a bit of a dip that on the weekend when all local health departments report numbers and then you see the steep rise to where we are today at 6638 newly registered covert 900 infections with numbers more than doubling in one week it means the virus is growing exponentially and the figures come just hours after chancellor angela merkel met with the leaders of germany's 16 federal states to agree new unified

measures to slow the spread of the virus one seen as a role model for europe germany now feels the pandemic is getting out of hand that a country has fed relate the west so far with cases rapidly rising i'm going to america has issued a stern warning. us if you ask what worries me it is the exponential rise and we have to stop it otherwise it will not end well. we can see death all over the place and i don't need to look at germany here i only need to look in the neighboring countries that's the point region of leaders have agreed to shut hospitality venue some 11 pm in areas to day become virus hotspots a regulation already adopted by some cities like. and frankfurt contact restrictions will also be enforced in hotspots social gatherings will be limited to 10 people from a maximum of 2 households in

a bid to curb the number of infections at the political level one bone of contention remains leaders can't agree on domestic travel routes that mean travelers from hotspots cannot stay in hotels without a recent negative test i'm prone to commendation than is to contest it among the state is someone to keep it up at any cost to majority of states are skeptical because it's related inefficient to prevent infections but in the end it causes a lot of agitation anger and disruption but some under street say it's not more roads that are needed to. get existing rules are not being followed and they're not being enforced all too often you see people beat out a mask on 1st isn't subways i believe the rules should be better executive it's a fine line when you see all the weddings are kind of course understand but on the other hand it's also a risk for others as well as for the elderly i think we all need to be reasonable

with the numbers right now. if the number of infections keep rising i'm going to america has warned that even tougher steps may be needed. by political correspondent. joins us now from our parliamentary studios what's behind these rising infection numbers. ing which these are obviously tamal positives as well you have to know that since me dogs have been seeing here more than 1000000 tests being carried weekly also there's a backlog several laboratories warned that they were starting to be overwhelmed that there was that backlog as there are reaching their testing capacity limits now number of daily infections here in germany you've sated that tweets reached a level of march was more than 6600 infections they really this is alarming but in comparison to neighboring countries germany still fared much better for example

a neighboring france accounts for more than 20000 daily inspections of the czech republic yesterday counted more done thousands one $1500.00 infections for a country were whose population is 8 times less than that of germany so yes the hotspots and infection waits $400000.00 inhabitants increase exponentially and it is worrying budget many still has a better handle of the pandemic than its neighbors so far what we've just heard about the new measures that chancellor merkel of the 16 state premiers agreed upon but not all reportedly said she was not happy with the results why. she would have reached for stricter measures or so we've seen into reports not all states in years for example the accommodation ban in various regions so there still needs to be talks between the state premiers and the chancellor regarding domestic travel so

those are all the reasons why those negotiations took so long there were marathon negotiations over 8 hours into late at night yesterday and i'm going to america has warned time and again that people need to a key being careful keep wearing masks keep respect sochaux this and seeing and she's reportedly also quite annoyed by the fact that not everyone seems to be observing all the ruse. so what is the plan then if germany does not get the infection right back on the control. well if those new measures don't suffice and we can very well imagine that we can see in the future more localized a lot of downs farmer love downs being put into place the thing is that the governments and the regions want to avoid stricter laws than simply because or so this would actually be another blow to the german economy and got america actually

warned that germany simply couldn't afford another meltdown of its economy. correspondent. thank you. well germany is one of several european countries where cases appear to be rising massively and when i'll just mention that france and france president has announced a nighttime curfew to try to stop the spread in from catalonia regions of the colonialism of spain are 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. our objective is to reduce the private contacts. there 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 coated 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 coated 1000 in spain since the beginning of the pandemic and the government's alarmed it could lose

control of the outbreak again let's not fool ourselves the next week's 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 racers 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 when 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. was there on the subject here is some of the 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 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 outbreak. you're watching the news still to come. cove it is killing the careers of

dogs so that other performers in hong kong will the ever be able to stage a comeback. but 1st a premier shares in the management company of a korean boyband b.t.s. more than doubled on its stock market did you the huge interest in the i.p.o. is a reflection of the massive global success story that is korean pop and its current kingpins. even though she could only watch the show online wearing a mask in the presence of a few friends b.t.s. fun angie one was deeply touched. she was one of more than 100000000 people worldwide who logged on to watch a b.t.s. concert last week and. this 7 piece group of korean 20 somethings clearly means a great deal to her and many others around the world. rid of all their songs are really good their songs gave comfort in these tough

times and made me a fan. such devotion is lucrative for korean pop purveyors it's easy to understand why big hit entertainment the management company behind the brand decided to launch an i.p.o. demand was huge the share price almost tripled within minutes giving the company a market cap of almost $10000000000.00 comfortably making it one of south korea's turkey most valuable. my name is kevin hart is now a major worldwide industry leader with their smooth american accents and seemingly universal appeal b.t.s. are at a global forefront big hit successful i.p.o. is also good news for this month bang see the management company's founder is now a multi billionaire well might he bang his drum. for its passionate fans though the appeal of b.t.s. is about something much more personal than a share price. career. a lot of boy bands what makes b.t.s.

so special we asked gen moon chief editor and anchor for our iran t.v. in seoul that's a great question everyone loves an underdog story and b.t.s. surely has when they made their 1st did really 7 years ago under this much a less surnow musical management company they kicked and despite having fewer resources and connections to. other key pop groups they rose in global popularity and over the years since then they stayed really personally connected with their fans and social media which their fans say in various cottonseed shoes factor that keep them devoted to this movie and there's also say the fact that each and every member of the group write their own songs and lyrics is a huge loss and most of their songs are messages to their fans. that speaking to us from seoul and also hong kong where as in most places across the world the performing arts community has been hit hard by the pandemic most venues forced to

close us part of social distancing measures to prevent the spread of the disease this is left many artists especially freelancers with no income and the whole. the world's a stage for ballerina irene. a breezy pong. living room. that smile masks her desperation as a freelancer you have no show you have no teaching you've pretty much got 0 money i have been going through the pa 6 months. and then if i don't teach i don't profile and with no income at all 'd. life has become a lonely routine for brock fang his hip hop gigs have come to a full stop. hong kong prides itself on being one of asia's top performing arts cities he's ineligible for virus relief schemes because he's a freelancer. garba

countries may have some very good subsidies but i'm not really envious of them. i just feel really disappointed by the hong kong government so i can only rely on myself. and dreams of the limelight have dimmed. the aspiring actress graduated from theatre school in may right into the midst of a pandemic. i have a big vision and i was studying i hope for i hope that after i have jobs our even going to like going to a theater company to work for them for years as a full time job but no war dish and and no callbacks she works at a liquor store to make ends meet. the choice now for many hong kong artists whether to abandon or to hold fast to their craft.

every day the pandemic lingers time is running out to stage a comeback. some sports news now italian football league has awarded say they are champions you venters a 3 mil win against not only despite the game not even taking place solid italians also dr point health authorities ordered not police not to travel to turin earlier this month because of the coronavirus faces in the team now police said it will appeal the ruling. now the german cup often throws up david versus goliath type matches and tonight is no exception european champions by munich face sister vision side f.c. durant in the 1st round starting a run of 8 matches in 23 days the underdogs from durham will be looking to take

advantage of by as hectic schedule though their aims a modest to say the least quaint sleepy geren isn't used to the. 100000 people call this place home it's also home to 5th division side f.c. . the club's pride and joy is the stand the oldest in germany now the latest chapter in this club's history a cup game against the mighty by and munich. of course we've been having a bit of a joke about it just get them out the way and then we'll be one round closer to the final rule excited you don't get drawn against by and every year will be a huge experience for us. the game will have some personal significance he used to play at us level. and with current brian style. they remain in contact to this day. that we write every so often how we're all

doing the distance is a problem and now we're both parents we don't see each other too often still in touch and get on really well. friendships will have to be put to one side during the game your team has been stepping up its preparations and then add a match a shake they have a form of bundesliga player in their squads. we haven't spoken to huge deal about by and yet or analyze them in any great detail but i think everyone knows what to expect it's hard to find any weaknesses with them so it's just about giving it all we have enjoying the game and then seeing what happens at the end. usually when a lower league side meets a team like by and they shy away from setting themselves targets but not. transition for via sham magine if we manage to concede fewer than 8 goals in the game then we can say we're better than shall current barcelona and that's where

from thing. i have both found themselves on the wrong end of the buy and go machine in recent months. after all is all relative. good luck to them you're watching the news here's a reminder of all top story at this hour hundreds of type protesters have gathered in defiance of a sweeping crackdown on demonstrations authorities have moved to crush months of pro-democracy demonstrations by imposing emergency powers and rounding up leading activists protesters from front of police to survive the new decreed banning groups of more than 5. germany has recorded its highest number of cases since the pandemic began. to spread she appealed to young people to put their policies on hold while on the line and that everyone has a part to play. don't forget you can always go on the

baghdad was in full blown crisis mode as the virus swept through the region of the dead had to be transported away by the army italy's hospitals and health workers were completely overwhelmed by the high number of patients. the country remains on high alert strict measures were imposed in the north and were also adopted in other regions including a bear got more and milan it's a prize most italians are willing to pay to prevent a repeat of the past for many men like a fire team and the green that trauma is still fresh. for them and their greenie has seen a lot and are 108 years she survived the spanish flu 2 world wars and now covert 19 when the 1st wave of the pandemic hit a man she lost many of her friends in the care home she lives in. now i don't lose

through so much in my life and i'm still here it looks like god is forgotten about me. fatima greeny feels lucky here in northern italy and wants to help others. lombardi was badly hit by the pandemic in spring but the virus claimed thousands of lives care homes for the elderly in particular. 33000 died of covert 19 in italy i don't most half of them here in the north hospitals were overwhelmed the situation was dramatic as fund the gutty calls. she's a volunteer with the italian whitecross something is she worked 12 hours straight i was there to give him her food but i ask of him to come with me along so this was one of the. strange experience very different from before because during their normal behavior to me take.

their relative or a caregiver. on their own will and to go to the or from any help came too late the company 7 section of the city cemetery houses the graves of 128 on claimed covert 19 victims buried in a hurry when the contagion risk was high either the relatives couldn't be found or couldn't organize funerals because they were ill or corn tinning it may now be made a permanent monument commemorating the victims of covert 19 we leave. every from arctic experience like a tsunami is something that in the moment arrived to change it completely everything so from that moment that we change our beer we are our approach to their life now in autumn it's still mandatory to wear a mask inside of buildings and also from 6 in the evening until 6 in the morning on

credit streets italy is doing everything it can to avoid a 2nd lockdown for weeks and spring people weren't allowed to leave their homes the strict approach explains why italy has managed to avert a 2nd wave says maria rita just mando she runs the covert 19 lab at the luigi soko university hospital in milan italians learned a valuable lessons from the high death rates in march and april just mando would like to see more cross border cooperation. i think it is an important. thing to think out today. that you have this same a protocol all therapy the same. exchange experiences the same require counting not just that they look at. the back to just you know your pm the strategy to face

a divider just not believes that the keys rapid response the italian government has introduced covert 19 tests and schools to provide rapid results but on a sister victoria welcome such measures the last thing they want is another lockdown and a return to home schooling your spirit and. i hope that we consume takeoff from asks. tough to keep her distance from one another all the time and that is anybody going to. from our vats not an option. but among the greenie tells people they must wear masks. don't make the same mistakes. i wonder when this thing will end up. old and i will die soon.

but i am deeply worried about everyone else. in the meantime she prays and hopes for the best for them as determination under duress has made her a wrong model to many qualities needed now more than ever. while most of europe is concerned with containing a 2nd wave off the coronavirus others are focusing their energy on expanding their power like viktor orban he is the strong man of hungary in his nationalist sense has put him at odds with many leaders and now carbon wants to bring cultural institutions in line with his conservative agenda new legislation has given the government increased power over theaters and universities honey sortie studies at the renowned university of theater and film arts in budapest and she and her fellow students are fighting to keep our beds nationalist policies out of their institution. students have been demonstrating in front of the theater and film

university in budapest for weeks now. they've blockaded the entrance in protest against the government which has imposed a new foundation and board of trustees on their establishment threatening its independence as well as that of other universities and cultural institutions. we demand the resignation of the new management. people act against a repressive party together. he certainly is one of the protest leaders she's been acting as a go between for many of the academics who resigned in protest they are all under enormous pressure she says. the government has waged a real war against the law on vod of our professors and students are constantly

being slanted as of the end of. the drama tours last though poor for instance he had been nominated director but the new board fired him like most of the lecturers at the university he. in favor of the protests. elect for the shop for the most important aspect of the suppose it government reforms is that the senate which represents the students and economics will have no influence on the decisions of the politicians board of trustees. of the so that you will most people get off of me but. the populist authoritarian government has waged what it calls a culture war it is decided that young people should receive a patriotic education it is not interested in academic freedom. never others. get sufficient does not turn children into mere subjects. or just

want them to understand what their ancestors created were going to be able to pass this on. it's not easy to convey the idea that it is a good thing to be a patriot. but people manage. the university's new foundation has not yet contacted pani sorty and the other protesting students. at the conservative theater director on ski was appointed to head the board of trustees he recently told a t.v. station close to the ruling party that the protesters were being manipulated from abroad. i think them at the chateau i mean as these are shocking forces that. there's an army operating online he's an international army should be received information from abroad and some of my views are colleagues have told me that the protests are being organized by suits or guessers. it's very painful.

on him because he figures we're going to as we've heard all about these international ground forces before to supposedly a talking hungry but they managed to get rid of human rights and sherry's with these conspiracy theories they always play the same cards talking about. biased but that. the government's cultural war is not only against universities many theatre troops that used to receive state funding have been forced to close down trough so an experimental theatre company in budapest is fighting for survival but the director is putting up resistance. you have to feed. these independent the other companies are a thorn in the side of those in power. they're trying to get rid of us but it's not easy for them. we can work with very little money to survive. they won't be able to

break the students so easily this is going to be a long conflict that's. more over the theaters and universities have support from the public thousands of budapest residents took part in a human chain that went from the university to parliament in september 4 in theatres are also showing support germany's renowned berliner ensemble recently cancelled its hungary tour in solidarity. for sufferer. in greek mythology plutus is the god of wealth who when he was blind to gave riches out to everybody without judgment when his side was restored he could see who was more deserving and the next person in our story couldn't be more deserving of the help that has come her way recently i'm not totally is a single mother of 4 who was living on the streets of greece a country that is billions of dollars in debt and where unemployment and poverty
