also the father of the girl he went to that class by the teacher and who then that father then posted a video online and that video online that really caused a lot of reaction and we believe caused the attacker to attack the teacher few days back you mentioned the french prime minister joined one of the relatives how is the government dealing with this situation in policy terms. well the government really wants to show that it will react they are now talking about maybe a deck to a new law on secularism that was published a few weeks back and stretch and strengthening it really that law is supposed to better control going is ations that might be close to islamist to the islamist scene and also it train the country's own in moms that are for now often coming

virus and global cases have now passed 40000000 according to a tally by the news agency reuters experts say true numbers of infections and deaths may be much higher poland plans to set up a field hospital at the national stadium in warsaw as it faces a health system overload other european countries including belgium switzerland and italy are also tightening restrictions as cases continue to rise south africa's health minister and his wife have tested positive for the virus they say they are quarantining at home and she palestinian negotiator. is in intensive care in an israeli hospital after his condition worsened he tested positive for corona virus earlier this month. here in europe many countries have new restrictions to culture a 2nd wave of coronavirus complicating matters is the change in the weather with cold and flu season all the way to here in germany this year's rollout of the flu

injection is serving as a test run for an eventual respects seem. a little pinprick protects against the flu and helps make sure the health system won't be overwhelmed. spread flu outbreak alongside a new wave of covert 19. nations is higher than usual. scared and that means that they are much more willing to get vaccinated . a flu jab is usually recommended for those over 60 pregnant women people with preexisting conditions and medical workers but this year vaccination is available to everyone who wants one. german health minister says anyone who wants to have themselves and their children vaccinated should do so but if everyone in germany decides to get a flu jab there won't be enough of the vaccine to go around. if we just vaccinate

anyone who once it's done it's quite possible that the people who really need it may not be able to get a vaccine at all in the end would be ethically and medically wrong. to avoid the vaccination commission recommends high risk patients be vaccinated 1st then the rest of the population germany has never used. nevertheless this year the flu vaccination will serve as a test run for an eventual corona vaccination. over $1000.00 vaccination program might work from how influenza vaccinations go this year will probably vaccinate the same risk groups 1st will have much less of the vaccine at 1st compared to the influenza vaccine so we'll probably have to vaccinate gradually. starting with those who need it most in this respect you can see the flu vaccine as a kind of test for the population boom for you before coming out to come out of seeing the states and the medical profession are hoping to learn valuable lessons

from this year's flu season and how to prioritize future vaccinations. to thailand now where pro-democracy protests are continuing in the capital bangkok despite government attempts to quash the demonstrations on sunday tens of thousands defied ben if defied a ban on gatherings imposed by authorities the protesters are demanding fresh elections a new constitution and reforms to the monarchy people across the country have been showing their support for the youth led. more on the latest protest i'm joined now by philip sure well a journalist for the sunday times in bangkok thanks for being with us philip a number of protest leaders have been arrested but that doesn't seem to have had much of an effect on the demonstrations has it. nothing so far has had much of an effect except to galvanize for justice and increase the numbers the government last week issued introduce a states that decree that

a state of emergency sorry that's what we're supposed to fund the governments of 5 people they went in heavily on friday night with water cannons and right police they've arrested leaders in the process of just being growing one of the things the protests alone to protest as a learning is the sort of hong kong chopsticks of a leaderless approach that conducts a lot of their own organizational lines today they're actually having a vote on line as to whether to hold protests or whether to take a take a day off and this is part of keeping the police on their own on edge and really not giving the many heads up as to what their plans are until i'm just shortly before people actually can but. how worried philip are authorities about the situation. that day they are very worried and they're very surprised that the measures they've taken so far have not had any effect apart from as i mentioned apparently to increase support for the protesters the government is led by former generals who are staged a coup in 2014 although they are now in government under

a sort of elected system and they are you know used to people filling their orders what they're doing now is switching the battle for them they're trying to go online they are saying that media companies that publish material that is deemed to threaten national security or instill chaos there you they will have. they could have their operations closed down there is a center looking at social media communications of of many many protesters thousands tens of thousands of protesters and they will use that as the basis for prosecutions to show that people have been turning up the protests and indeed under the state of emergency any any communication any news report that is the thing to threaten the stability of the country could leave people subject to prosecution so it's a very favorable time it's a very tense time and there is no sign that any of these measures so far are decreasing the intensity of the protest as well the protests felt thank you very

much journalist philip charles of the sunday times in bangkok. bolivia's socialist candidate luis r. se is expected to win the country's presidential election without a runoff and exit poll showed are say more than 52 percent of the vote more than 20 percentage points above his closest rival centrist carlos meso are say is widely seen as heir to the country's long time former president it for morale is resigned and fled the country after last year's ballot was an all. w. correspondent johan ramirez is covering the election for us in la paz earlier we asked him about the most pressing issues the winner in this election will have to address . there are 2 huge challenges in this country right now one of then is to unite this country believe is a concert and he's totally has been divided between the people from the seat is on

the people from from the contrie i mean like the indigenous people so that's something that was reinforced their in the 14 years i missed ration of this so that is a huge challenge the national unity and then it is the economy ah the pond then he has to really say can this country 30 percent of unemployment the economy has 7 percent in this year so the economy is going to be also be a big challenge for the next president. the u.s. election is just 15 days away and a record number of people have already cast their ballots in early voting but in some areas the large early turnout and technical glitches have led to long waiting line stuff has sparked a controversy in states like georgia over whether officials are actively trying to make it harder for some people to vote to sue me some askand has more. voting it's the foundation of any democracy everything is being done to make sure

all eligible voters have their say or is that i came here to georgia to find out about something that voting rights groups say is a real problem voter suppression purposely making it harder for some people to cast their ballot now georgia has a history of keeping african-americans from the polls activists say it is still happening. things heated up in 2013 when the supreme court gave states the power to change election laws and they no longer have to prove the changes they made did not discriminate states like these took action that republicans say make sure that no one can vote illegally democrats say they are unfairly target minorities they introduced stricter voter identification last they purged inactive voters from registries and across the south hundreds of polling places closed these people manage to get to the voting station but for others who don't have a card to get around in the millions who don't have official i.d.

it is difficult the protections can be barriers and they more often affect black and immigrant communities we are in the land of voter suppression where the secretary of state's office backed by the legislature embraced by the governor are figuring out how do we stop the demographic change that is happening in georgia. early voting in this year's presidential election people stand in line for hours but is this really voter suppression. this idea that there's voter suppression going on today is just a myth or a long lived because people are making the mistake. voting early rather than voting on election day when there are many bad people or polling places open money a mitchell will be voting early the stationery designer says it took her 4 hours to vote in the primary election in june she fears longer lines on november 3rd and

she's not going to risk missing her chance to vote it's my right the constitution says i have a right to vote people die for that and i don't take that lightly. you know i can only imagine sorry people seeing other folks being able to cast a vote and for them want to be told they're not human and to to be told that whatever you think whatever you want your community it doesn't matter. i reflect on that sorry. and that's why i stood. she is not alone in her determination important that we show that we deserve equal rights stuff like everyone else so that's why united states of america is a country it is a democracy everyone has a vote there's a lot thing that's going on in the country and if we don't speak out it's going to continue to get worse. that sentiment has sparked a record number of americans to turn out early to vote.
