this isn't the nazi regime where you're going to party like yourselves. with the 1st criminals to be held accountable for their crimes for. the most right now in their mind will have a very brutal pair. right here in. our 2 part series 3rd reich. starts nov 12th on d w. welcome to focus on europe it's great to have your company today the 2nd coronavirus wave has arrived war and more european countries are reporting record numbers of infections and this has led to fresh car fuels lockdowns and national states of

emergencies the small country of belgium has one of the highest infection rates in europe the government is worried that the pandemic my to get out of control the country also has the highest numbers of deaths per capita on the continent. but 19 has significantly impacted our day to day lives from contact bans to social distancing to face masks but the virus has also changed lives those who have loved ones who have gotten sick or even died know all too well what this means like the 10 year old lorenzo's he lives in a region in belgium that was among the 1st to be declared a corona hotspots back in march and his story tells more about the horrors of the pandemic than mere facts and figures can. before corona didn't know loneliness now he does every day here.

and it's just not right with the 10 year old misses his his grandfather luke they were inseparable grandpa was the best you know pretty happy yeah i was happy lorenzo lived with his grandparents for years and they took him everywhere luke was always the one to pick lorenzo up at school when his grandfather got coated 19 in march and became the 1st known victim of the virus in their hometown of st truman lorenzo was left confused and angry. i if corona wasn't here in belgium. you know nothing of this would have happened his grandmother janine is still pained to recall how difficult it was to explain to lorenzo luke

wasn't coming home from the hospital and i have to say that even. so. good that it was janine had to deal with her own grief her daughter's and her grandsons lorenzo was troubled he'd never gotten to say goodbye these were grasses and those are all the names of. people that want to see him again. but then a chance arose for lorenzo to see farewell when his city's mayor decided to create a memorial in a local park around the theme of the flower forget me not. and assess from the beginning i want. from a little child who lost his grandfather of grandmother the mayor asked lorenzo if he would like to speak at the dedication he declined because life they were gonna laugh at me why but. i don't know.

why is this thing something. that i set that and. that when i said something about my grandpa i was going to cry. was a little fruit but you know maybe you can do it for grandpa. oh yes i will do that for him so. at the ceremony with his mother nellie beside him lorenzo poured out his heart and touched everyone else's evil. and your grandpa i miss you very much i am mad about corona mad about what happened you were dead best and always are going to be the best invest of rained out and. while you were

standing up there and people were listening to hear what you think they were thinking. he's a brave boy. and no longer he realized and angry boy i was happy that i did it that i. rode el out. and was happy. everyone was. grandpa. and in the spring in this corner of the park where lorenzo throughout his sadness will be filled with little blue flowers each blossom a promise to those who are gone we won't forget you. a brave boy. boris johnson loves political poker when he was sworn in as the british prime minister last year and he promised he wouldn't deliver brags

that well he has about 2 months to do that because a deadline is looming the ok and the e.u. have until the end of this year to work out a trade agreement and that means long nights of talks in brussels in london with both sides reluctance to budge on their standpoints i reporter met ship farmers who are following the negotiations closely they are uncertain about their future because they export almost all their animals to countries. at langrish and his father frank pharmacy in the generations they have to find and you can't in southern england the 2 men are very concerned about bricks especially if britain and the e.u. fail to negotiate a trade deal nearly half of. that we produce is exports it's most of what we export is exports it into the e.u. . so if any tariffs a person on tariffs again

a sort of between 40 and 50 percent so if those tariffs are applied. to go into europe that will. destroy a lot of price. is hard to imagine this landscape without its poppy thanks to them that the grass is so neat and futa from. today even languishing it's not deciding which lambs are ready for slaughter after the up a twat will be exporting to from. the french like a lamb like this which is a good confirmation. they want them waiting around about $18.00 to $20.00 kilos as a carcass. not too much fat just a little fat they are very discerning by like good quality lamb and we produce good quality lamb which comes off of grass. on a clear day it's possible to see right across to the french coast should be i tell you their. father and son were they both against breck's it from the outset the

cheek has still heading to france but both promise the worry that border controls will lead to problematic delays in future. go to the op a trois and then they go into a refrigerated truck and normally that killed one day and they're in the paris market the next morning and he delays to that will cause big problems. but not good for to sharma's war against rex it's funny many of them will take for it because they thought that being in the e.u. entailed too much bureaucracy but frank langrish thinks it will get even worse post by accident i know. there won't be any less ass civil servants to like by so we will still have lots of people i thought the farmers incorrectly blamed europe for the paper when it was actually our people that created lots of people.

many of the pharmacy you go to the week a cattle auction can't foresee a tough time ahead and. still most here seem to feel this new sense complaining when that's quick to be done. it comes just to make the most situation but it will be the legislation is in place and whatever tires we have and get on with it we will be better off in the end but it will be very hot in the interim period all be on a start just starting our coaching on not looking for because offing is going to be a long haul to hole we have bricks. and langrish is married to that many families won't be able to survive without subsidies and he is furious about the government's handling of bricks it. is just. disbelief that they can tell so many lies you know that it's you know the hollow they won't be cute everything will be fine it

will be the easiest free trade agreement history. it is just proved it will be so much rubbish both father and son hope that what ever happens to the country children will take the family farm and the 5th generation after all the countryside in kent's needs and. the months ahead on is one of the most beautiful family it's all be all and one of the national symbols of switzerland the villages surrounding this pick up tract thousands of tourists each year but now there is trouble in paradise the permafrost that helps hold together the alps is melting and rocks have began to move these effects of climate change are giving many locals sleepless nights. for nearly 3 decades kurt spring has lived in the village of brilliants in the swiss canton of grub. but for a couple of years now he and nearly 100 residents here have been very worried.

about is 1st we had a certain respect for the situation then we felt a bit insecurity. and now we're just outright afraid. this is delinquency is facing 2 threats the ground in which the village stands is gradually sliding into the valley is now reached a rate of one meter 20 a year some houses have been literally torn apart this one was later demolished the village has been slipping for decades but it's never been as bad as this at the same time reince also faces the threat of a massive landslide that could bury it completely that's what worries court spring the most. at the edge of the village a taste of what could be to come fused boulders like this one broke off the mountain last summer which bring with him his cellar when it happened and heard the crash. you know you just don't think how many will there be lots of rocks how many

. off the mountain the whole mountain will it hit the house lifted lots of houses the playground the old school building. those are your 1st thoughts the mountain is being monitored to run the clock with radar g.p.s. measurements and drew. if the alarm is reads the residents would only have a few hours to leave the village there would be no way of stopping a meter landslide. it happened in 2017 in the village of under and opened. and in 2015 the evelyn a dance in the belly was could landslides like these be predicted accurate. and switzerland's most famous mountain a matter horn researchers are looking into exactly that question computer

scientists. from the university of inspire is working with colleagues from various swiss universities to listen to the inside of the mountain to see if a landslide is imminent there look for a tree is an altitude of 3500 meters. the mountain is extremely steep. for the past 12 years the scientists have been monitoring the stability of the rock because of climate change the permafrost is thawing which is the cement the holds the mountains together a matter for now is starting to crumble. i 1000 guys and spybot in 20032 to 3000 cubic meters of rock fell away here. that's why the area up there is where it broke away. 3000 cubic meters of debris is the equivalent of 3 houses. the be.

in order to predict events like that where accurately in the future they've installed numerous measuring instruments of the sensors gauge every movement and vibration the researchers are trying to the crude the vibrations of the rocks and that's why they're listening to the mountain as strange as that may sound. a small black container but he. doesn't that size mr than them this is our seismic sensors which can enable us to understand the sound and the language of the mountain. each section of the rock has a particular pattern of vibrations it's possible to make them audible this is the sound of the matterhorn employed by many times. the sounds can vary. so very bad just like

a glass of water sounds difference when you top depending on how much water as it is the same here. the large volume makes a deep sound. if you only get high pitch sounds the volumes are dealing with a small. here the rock is the glass of water it's the crack is small the new section of rip that is vibrating feeling a smaller increase higher pitched. at the crackers larger the sound is deeper than the year. but if we were to observe a marked difference in the seismic measurements for example a sound that's twice as deep. that could be a sign that another landslide is in the offing. with a landslide before testes in the face of the mountain. dew that yet but he and his team plan to continue their research. this message is not also being tried out

in britain's. spring was planning to live out his retirement here instead he's preparing for a possible that accusation. he wants to be ready when the mountain comes is she a typical russian well her outfit certainly has some traditional elements to it but otherwise there's nothing typical about her because she is a russian drag queen buds of performers like her don't have it easy in their country homophobia is widespread among conservative russians and the members of the l g b t q community often face threats or even the verbal and physical attacks but all that is not stopping one drag queen from living out of life in high heels i can see make up and with a lot of sass. thanks . for.

playing this evening everyone was healthy sleezy says say i might have to play with a name as miami or miami drag queen motion in miami but i've. got a. 27 year old sag a game yes miami the films that scream monkey a gate out in mustang. it's well he makes his living even if it catches with it to feel in russia. have a 2nd face for face id it doesn't recognize me i did a good job on the makeup today. and that she's that kind of woman hello i think it's my 2nd personality i mean with that i don't think it's an illness in the end stay there but it isn't yes get over this because these

attacks. see one stage at the club to track winfield's competent for him and anything outside the club his duties prevent them to functions was it you i don't want to see that. yet just makes me want to vomit. right and send him into the army. not just for one year he ought to serve 3. the crew did it one time you could have got your head torn off for that. sergei works hard on his act developing the choreography is himself step by step in 2015 he came to moscow from a little village in western russia he felt liberated but only within the safe confines of the club you know just those letters with my wigs and high heels i don't fit the image of the russian male. i can't walk down the street as miami was

it's not because i don't want to become a state but because i'm afraid. it's afraid for my life and for my face this will freeze that. there are good reasons to be afraid in russia it's very dangerous for a man to appear in public wearing makeup and women's clothes as seen here in moscow's metro homophobic groups may quickly turn violent and deep bass their victims say gays well aware of the danger and never leave the club in drag even so much as posting about his act on the internet without including an age limit could land him in court on charges of homosexual propaganda in such an environment saggy says it's dangerous to come out as gay even to one's own family. i haven't had any contact with my father for about 10 years ago once i got drunk and

messaged him saying father i'm bisexual i'm not bisexual i'm gay but that's how i put it i thought it be easier for him i have nothing against girls but i also like boys he's never called me since. my step mother called me from his telephone and said what if you don't you know we raised us. but sag doesn't intend to stay hidden away forever so in his outfits in secret he has dreams of a grand career and he's invested his creativity and. about 11000 euros in fabrics make up and she views. which is that me i'd like to be in the media and appearing in movies and shows so people will be scared of us but ones that i'd like to be able to walk the streets by army and not have people yell things at me like who places in the cemetery theaters. such things frighten saguenay but he's not

giving miami out he'll carry on as the dazzling drag queen but maybe not in russia taking his dreams about life in another country. norway is there a pin country with the largest fishing industry which is no surprise given that more than half of the country's border is along the coast but some areas like the village of big heads not been profiting much from the wealth of seafood found in the ocean now there's a new species in the waters of norway meet the king crab at the price of delicacy that is also called once the crab because it eats everything that crosses its path but the mother has become a lifesaver for some norwegian fisherman their courage figure loves the arctic ocean and the german has been living with norway's high north for 12 years he takes tourists to see the sights along the coast near the russian border. he brings up

one of those sites from the bottom of the sea for this tour group. the only set of the traps the day before that addictive 180 meters. but one day was long enough for him to now haul up dozens of kid crabs identical see all around the world if the crabs are also a growing ecological problem. the crustaceans multiply like rabbits job in the water you get eaten from the crops we have krebs red ever you are. either low to catch we need only from the front to the back 15 centimeters harvesting the king crabs has brought our own head of prosperity to norway's economically constrained high north. including for the remote fishing village of boogie or nace. in 1809 residents ran an a for thais and offering their village for sale. young people were moving away

because there was no work now the village has been revived complete with bed and breakfasts and even the strong. and it's all thanks to no mother the king crab. fisherman life in l.a. was among the 1st to discover the non-native species of blue by his. soviet researchers had released them in the barents sea in the 1950s. but anyway was unaware of that when he found the monster crab in his nets what they . call me a 1st crabs we caught we tend to oil. we were taken completely by surprise. that if the crabs hadn't turned up to get out we would not have any fish processing in town. nor any fishing books. or at most 2 or 3.

bucks a day we have 15 or 16. the explosive spread of the king crab is a boon for the fisherman but the norwegian environmentalist's and scientists are alarmed. eaters are being spotted father and father south they're expected to reach the coast of scotland soon. we find that the crabs are able to adapt to water temperatures of eating degree celcius that means they can survive in the mediterranean. wherever these crabs become established they have devastating effects on the other marine life on the seabed. some species mussels and starfish have disappeared completely. along with. their own the king crab is also known as the monster crab it has no natural enemies

and poses a threat to every other living thing on the seabed. so fisheries authorities have made the quotas generous and tourists aren't the only ones glad of that reality we have the right to catch 10 crabs per use or free per person per year. one crab is worth 900 kroner or 19 right in our pocket. multiplied by 10 and you know for a 1000 news you're eating a lot true delicacy for free is what serves as guest after only a short time in the kitchen otherwise behind only in europe's and asia's finest restaurants. norway exports over 2000 tonnes of can crowd around the world i mean. one of our mental concerns about invasive species continue the tourists savor it spicy meat under the region authorities hope the high fishing quotas will

help keep the crowd population under control the people of northern norway meanwhile hope this lucrative source of income will last a while longer they've already built a monument to the king crab i wouldn't mind having one of those on my plate well that's all for today thanks for watching and goodbye. do. you. feel.

china starts november 6th on g.w. . plague. plague. plague plague. this is it reduces life for berlin final faceoff donald trump and joe biden gear up for their last televised debates before the us election less than 2 weeks ago before the vote the u.s. president. trailing his democratic challenger in the polls joe biden getting

a new late bruce from former president barack obama also coming up from poster child to struggling to contain it is researching pandemic germany's top public health body warns the country is facing an uncontrolled spread of corona virus infections new travel warnings will be opposed this weekend as germany reports a record number of do we keep this close social distancing and still to same we'll tell you about the dangers tradition that's helping forge solidarity as the country grapples with life under the pandemic. thank you so much for your company everyone where we begin our broadcast in the u.s. where president donald trump and his democratic rival joe biden are poised to face

off on television for the 2nd and final presidential debates while the 2 candidates are set to share the stage tonight in nashville tennessee after a fiery 1st debate last month joe biden has a healthy lead in opinion polls ahead of tonight's contest and he's getting a fresh show of support from former president obama. hello philadelphia her. home spot former u.s. president barack obama at a drive in rally is he hit the campaign trail for joe biden democratic nominee and his film a vice president even though many opinion polls show biden in the lead obama raised the specter of the 2016 election and urged supporters to turn out we can't be complacent i don't care about the polls they're all bunch of polls last or didn't work out. because all those folks stayed at home and got lazy and

complacent not this time not in this election. in some places that has been easier said than done as early voting started many people stood in line for hours and some counties reported blackouts at voting sites will faulty mail in ballots still a record 42000000 americans have cost early ballots already according to the u.s. elections project at a campaign event in the battleground states of north carolina president trump rallied his supporters and painted a disused picture of the u.s. on the biden sleepy joe barton is a good control of his party overture socialist communist marches and left wing extremists. and they're filled with hatred and venom and rage. most voters have already made up their minds but the 2nd and last presidential debate tonight is the last chance to win over the undecided earlier on wednesday president trump

criticized the choice of topics for debate and the decision to mute microphones to avoid interruptions of her 1st chaotic debate but i think the big story is. going to get very bad about talking about foreign affairs isn't it about foreign affairs and i think that the. very biased version her parents are very biased. from comments perhaps setting the tone for his final sparring match with his challenger. all right all eyes on tennessee this evening i let's go to our washing corresponds all resound who will be following that debate for you now the candidates biden and trump facing off squaring off for the last time on the same stage before the elections what can we expect. it's certainly going to be the last big clash of the 2 and as you know president trump is trailing behind

in polls some see him behind in more than 2 digits to an extent where even allies are distancing themselves from them fearing that they're going to be dragged down by president trump and of course he knows something has to have and this might be his last chance he received it he got a big hit by the 1st debate so we can expect him to night to go into attack mode he will probably target joe biden son hunter biden president tom has been working on creating such a corruption case here against him without evidence will force we will very likely hear that tonight as an attempt to attack joe biden we're not going to see a performance like the one in the 1st debate as you remember that was dubbed the worst presidential debate in history because a president trump interrupted consequently and did not let his opponent joe biden finish his sentences no there are new rules in place for tonight and that means the 1st 2 minutes every candidate will be able to speak and the

microphones of the other the other candidate will be muted during that time so it will be a very different kind of debate we're going to hear and see tonight the president as we've just heard also is very clear he believes all of that is unfair he doesn't like the questions he doesn't like the moderator that also being his kind of rhetoric that he sees himself as an underdog him against the establishment and that's also something we're going to witness tonight in the presidential debate now is speaking of the election on a related note there are some concerning reports of foreign interference in this year's election what more can you tell us about that. the director of the national intelligence d.n.i. draft live yesterday reported that iran allegedly sent out e-mails to voters and that were coming flash coming from far right militia groups such as the probable reason we remember president trump neglected several times to distance himself from

those groups and in those mails. voters were threatened so we do not know a lot a whole lot more those a lot of an answer questions questions also with regards to what was actually being tried to achieve they are the d.n.i. is is making the case that these males were sent out to damage donald trump and his company could also be vice versa since these males were threatening democratic voters now at the old forties also say there's not a lot they can do about it except going public which is what they're doing and warning voters that they should not feel threatened about this this is just a sham and yet another attempt to mingle in the u.s. elections over south reporting from washington for you thank you. and a programming note as will house full coverage of the debate right here on t w news you can get all the action live on this channel from a quarter to one am central european time now germany's

public health body is warning that the country could face an uncontrolled spread of coronavirus infections the robert costa institute has recorded a new high for daily cases and he's warning that couvade 19 deaths rates are set to rise while authorities have issued new travel warnings and are urging people to stick to the rules in an attempt to curb the spread of the virus but stricter measures could be yet to come. it's the highest number of new covert 1000 infections the german public health institute has had to report during this pandemic more than 11000 new cases in one day these maps show in red where they've been more than 50 new infections para 1000 inhabitants over a 7 day period left is a map of germany 2 months ago now to the right it's clear half of germany has changed color. and solution is to talk to a. situation is now very serious the number of infections is rising quickly in many

places and we don't know where that number is headed but we can still slow the spread everyone can play their part we're not powerless if we follow all of those rules you don't peter cundall to. 1.5 me to distance hand washing and compulsory masks in public places such as while out shopping those rules seem to work for germany the majority of people don't catch the virus that work or on public transport but in private settings such as the private parties or weddings. the virus spreads where people enjoy coming together and where they want to get to know each other there is more intense interaction in those settings you discuss things you laugh you're having a good time then the virus naturally has a much better chance of spreading if there's an infected person present. where the infection rates accel orating fast some labs in germany like this one in ryan and platon it a warning that smaller facilities are already working at full capacity and wouldn't

necessarily be able to cope with rising numbers. there's also increasing concern that more areas in germany will have to implement restrictions again like kiran back to land in bavaria where even schools have closed down again to curb the spread. well national leaders across europe are faced with tough decisions over how to deal with rising numbers of covert 19 in denmark they've taken their own approach a sense of community spirit has been set to help weather the crisis they even have a word for it and believe it could help populations facing new lockdowns possible economic hardship and a yearning for a sense of normality popular fully in the u.s. is with me here on the set don't keep us is suspense what is this magic word well firstly i spoke to one of our editor producers who's in the house who's danish thomas mtr and he told me it's some fun since so hopefully we got that right and

that i mean society spirit so it's essentially really like a mindset and in fact before the pandemic it wasn't really a word that was used to alston actually in denmark but it is a concept that's very much part of we'll say the danish tradition which is this idea of coming together and thinking oh most like a collective in the sense that my actions will have some impact on say yours or everybody hears action so what was quite interesting as well was the prime minister met the fredrickson said that normally this means us coming together but actually with the pun demick it's all about us not coming together and actually standing apart for the greater good i think it's a great concept i mean it's basically civic duty right i'm responsible for my fellow citizen and human being so what would we classify as being i'm just reading out some foreign since some fun since i got there so thomas told me there's no print you don't print stuff at the end. of a century what it is is there are loads of examples one is at tivoli gardens which

is like a theme park in copenhagen what happened was during the pandemic it doubled up as a kindergarten for of c. for children and then also there is a very well known michelin star chef monk who just a few days before and will say yep pandemic and all the. lockdowns kicked in back in the spring began when cooking large sort of meals for the homeless people or those who were in need but also what we did was we spoke to a professor and he gave a sort of a a greater idea and a sort of a different take on what this all means let's hear from from him now. the concept of some is a generates motivates them and it's a generates. it generates your own motivation to keep groceries. and also it creates an understanding why it is that restrictions are needed. and

you are expecting. a larger it's that and so the political science is there michael bipartisan explaining to so it's all about this sort of concept that you know you have to accept responsibility think as a collective some examples of what wouldn't be some fun since i'm sure plenty of us have seen them over the past few months one would be for example at protests where people aren't wearing any masks or people who aren't wearing masks for example on public transport where they're supposed to be or just engaging in behavior we saw in the report they're coming together in large groups when they know they're not supposed to because at the end of the day they're putting themselves at risk everyone else who's there and subsequently everybody else in society and i was actually telling you before we came on air at a very interesting article which was talking about how one person who didn't actually follow the quarantine rules in our lives ended up infecting 56 people either directly or indirectly and i think the starker of course a conscious that sense of community really a wonderful a wonderful concept there what could political leaders across europe across the

world who learn from denmark well this is interesting because essentially this is very much part of danish culture and society it's something that people are taught not essentially directly using this word but sort of indirectly through education and just the way their society works so it's very difficult as well to kind of just implement that include trees where they don't have a tradition of not another aspect of it is to remember that scandinavian countries tend to have a great trust in their leaders and in their political system which isn't the case in many countries so for example if a leader is coming out like men to frederick's and you may like her you may not but people will listen to what. she has to say maybe in other countries where there isn't that level of trust they don't really trust their leaders and being of seen had that has had a very negative impact on spain there's a great political divide and people are very divided over it and they just there's it almost breen's a sense of almost individual ism about how to cope with this situation not i thank

you so much a public fully alias what is the magic word some fans and sounds good to me thank you so much. and are running out of the top story that we're tracking for you this hour. u.s. president donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden will face off later tonight in their final televised debate it comes after former president barack obama at the campaign trail provided urging voters to back his former vice president to. stick around to keep for the senate is up next with business headlines you're watching news from berlin and i'm a lot out see at the top of the out. of the 20 joining us election going to go to break in minneapolis minnesota right here at the memorial site where george was killed just one point you know how

everything up in history and those times what happened to racial bias to police brutality how about police reform we're going to talk to the police force.
