the preservation of our planet. is not just an issue of pardon trees and sitting fat is a. sauce that's in danger of surat us my. passion for such starts november 6th on g.w. . coronavirus cases are exploding on both sides of the atlantic more people are getting sick and hospital intensive care units are filling up the surge so strong here in europe that we could soon become the epicenter of this pandemic yet again to slow the spread ireland has started a total lockdown for a 2nd time in france and spain there are evening curfews again and in italy anger police clashing with protesters who say if the virus doesn't kill is this time the new lockdowns will bring golf in berlin this is the day.

it used to be normal for everyone to stay with their families but now it's not normal now they're messing with their heads. we've been forced to close at 6 and leave them alone in the morning thousands of people can get on crowded metros and buses if you want to keep you the tourists have all disappeared it. completely finished i think we're going to have to close down in a week. it's not right because if you want to close close everything otherwise you shouldn't close anything you don't want to see you don't have an income how can you survive. also coming up she is exactly what u.s. president trump wanted amy coney barrett is joining the u.s. supreme court cementing its conservative majority if the court is asked to rule on

a disputed presidential election will judge perry give the president what he warns the oath that i have fallen lee taken tonight means at its core that i will do my job without any fear or favor. and that i will do so independently of both the political branches and of my own preferences. but to our viewers watching on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of you around the world welcome we begin the day with corona virus cases surging all across europe threatening to make the continent the epicenter of the pandemic once again in the last week more than 1300000 people in europe tested positive for the virus that is the highest weekly some since the pandemic began the numbers are increasing at such an alarming rate that governments are reimposing severe restrictions on when state leaders here in germany are

expected to agree on a new set of measures that are being called to lock down light france is also bracing for tougher restrictions daily cases there are now topping 50000 and a state of emergency has been declared for all of spain europeans have been through all of this before especially italians we remember the images of overcrowded intensive care units hospitals full of patients all being kept alive on ventilators in order to avoid a repeat italy's prime minister has just approved a new restrictions that will bring public life in the country to a standstill beginning at sunset every day for the next month the news triggered more than just frustration and fear we have this report. it began as an angry protest the chanted for freedom in turin. but it quickly

descended into a violent game of cottonmouths local media report the group was made up of hardcore football finds new it is outrageous riot police fired tear gas and water cannon to send them home. design a shops were targeted to a new law and police clashed with protesters tear gas and pyrotechnics and plentiful supply several arrests were made as the caravan yairi try to restore order to the city's otherwise quiet streets. the unrest was taken ited by new rules forcing the country's hospitality industry to close its doors at 6 pm. its release late night dining culture as restaurant owners locked up many feared this would be the beginning of the end. because one chip you'll. have disappeared and lunch time is empty as well with 75 percent of the employees walking from home. in fact we're done with this job i mean i think we're

going to close in a week. to get. in a room industry workers poor discipline is that we end protest. because that is that if you don't do what you're seeing here is just a pox of our supplies that we've had to throw away and sacrifice we've already paid for it instead of setting it to our customers our friends were forced to throw on the ground and as we've already done in the past. the peaceful gathering and shot contrast to scenes elsewhere but as italy tightens restrictions the sense of anxiety here every bit is strong. well it's hellions once again being asked to go inside and to wait it. is night i'm joined by sylvia bacardi she is a journalist in milan good needs to use what more do we know about these protests

and the protesters are we talking about nationwide anger here. yes we are the protests started a few days ago in naples and now they have spread everywhere around me and there are more than $20900.00. and in rome it's the moment there are protests going on we know that there are a group of people people especially from the. right wing extremists and who gets groups that. are taking advantage of this situation to. to to push forward this kind of like violent protests we know that deaths from goodnight you know are not rising as quickly as the number of new cases and that's a good thing are italians are they angry over what restrictions mean for public helps this time or the angry over what these restrictions could do to the nation's

economic health. i think they're more worried about the economic factor at the moment we have a situation that is. getting worse and worse every day and there are more than 20000 positive cases a day and there are 7. at the moment that are considered red regions so imagine emergency regions. but what people are worried the most is the economy at the moment we had a. throng a strong situation in the past few months and people thought that they were going to. be able to keep their activities open for a while but this is not the case anymore. after prime minister do so because decisions about closing restaurants and bars after 6 pm did he say what the government will do to help ease this economic shock that's about to take place. to date today. prime minister. signed need to create that is allowing 5

more than 5000000000 euros into financial economic help for for companies and and prices that have been. heat by this new new regulation and they should be able to provide them by november but i think this will will how to use. it in a way that i think people are also worried because there are some specific sector of the economy who are being hit. that they're not being hit to describe either reports people saying that they feel like they're being unfairly targeted by these restrictions journalist recorded joining us tonight from milan thank you thank you well and tell you the struggle to come to terms with new restrictions people here in germany will be doing the same very soon the number of new delhi cases could

approach 20000 by the end of this week. back much tosca in berlin squats but district this is one of 10 busy streets in the german capital where people now have to wear a face mask germany has seen record numbers of coronavirus cases has been particularly hard hit now all 12 districts here are considered hot spots pressure is growing here in germany politicians to introduce new stricter measures against the coronavirus especially as numbers continue to grow this is something that is being debated on a daily basis here in germany both on the streets but also in the german press the latest topic to be discussed is a possibility of introducing a so-called knock down light under this proposal which is reportedly favored by chancellor merkel schools on take a would remain open except in the worst hit areas restaurants and bars would have to shut of ends would be banned so far most restaurants have to close only between

11 pm and 6 am for many new measures are necessary even if they mean fewer freedoms but others are more skeptical we all have to give ourselves a push now and see that it goes in the right direction. the numbers are always going up so you have to do your part to make them go down again the government gave me a perfect response as i hope that we will be spared but unfortunately we can't rule the salt completely although i'm not sure if it will really help to contain the pandemic and the answer then people for most people i assume that there will be new measures there's nothing you can do about it and we have to get the infection under control in this new presuming that the new restrictions are expected on wednesday after chancellor merkel meets with germany's 16 regional leaders. in the united states the confirmation of amy coney barrett to the u.s. supreme court has cemented the conservative majority in america's top court is the

3rd supreme court justice appointed by president truong she is promising to deliver justice with no bias seas or allegiances that's a hard sell for democrats who say barrett's nomination was motivated purely by politics and by hopes of a conservative future. after a month in the spotlight she finally got to say these words. judge amy carney barry is heading to the u.s. supreme court. it's a privilege to be asked to serve my country and this office and i stand here tonight truly honored and humbled. president donald trump is on hand to celebrate one of his signature achievements locking in a conservative majority on the supreme court for many years to come. this is a momentous day for america for the united states constitution and for the

fair and impartial rule of law. barrett took an oath at the white house eileen hour after the senate narrowly voted to secure the nomination order with only one republican not supporting the motion. democrats strongly opposed to the confirmation saying a supreme court justice shouldn't be appointed this close to an election let the record show that tonight the republican senate majority decided to thwart the will of the people and confirm a lifetime appointment to the supreme court in the middle of the presidential election. opponents of carney barrett's nomination say it paves the way for conservative rulings on abortion rights health care and q. rights carny barrett val that she will remain independent.

the oath that i have certainly taken tonight means at its core that i will do my job without any fear or favor and that i will do so independently of both the political branches and of my own preferences. she'll take this 2nd opportunity on tuesday at a private ceremony which will allow her to begin official duties on the court. all right for more now i want to bring in mary ziegler she's a professor of law at florida state university she's also the author of abortion and the law in america roe versus wade to the president she joins us tonight from santa rosa. ziegler it's good to have you on the program i'd like to remind our viewers and and play part of judge barrett speech that she delivered last night after being sworn in by president trump at the white house take a listen to what she said the oath that i have silently taken tonight means at

its core that i will do my job without any fear or favor and that i will do so independently of both the political branches and of my own preferences. do you believe judge bear i'm sure she believes what she's saying but i think all judges have. situations where their politics and their personal preferences have to come into play after all and the law is that clear the supreme court tends to be unanimous in cases don't tend to make it to the u.s. supreme court in the 1st place so i think i'm sure justice faired is sincere but i think that what she's asking of herself is an impossible task all judges i think have moments where their politics creep in and that's the reason for example that receipt or ginsburg didn't retire while donald trump was president or that clarence thomas won't retire if joe biden is president there is some political calculus they

goes on and it's an open secret in american politics do you think judge barrett is being judged mean we prematurely i mean i'm thinking of chief justice roberts he was also seen as a conservative when he was appointed but he has often sided with liberal judges on the court could judge barrett maybe could she be a clause that case middle of the road to justice. sure i mean there's always unpredictability when it comes to supreme court justices because after all these people have lifetime appointments which gives them a certain freedom to do what they want really without regard to the will of the people who nominated them and i think if we're kind of trying to break down what kind of conservative different people on the supreme court are john roberts isn't necessarily in the middle i would say he's more concerned about the court's reputation in his own image which makes him kannur and attracted i think sometimes

to rulings that appoint a possible popular backlash we don't know if tony barrett would be a justice like the chief justice at least by her own analysis she is more similar to antonin scalia who was very conservative and also i think sort of fashioned himself a principled justice who would do things that were very conservative even if or potentially even because they would upset people. and so if barrett's to be believed she's more in the mold of scalia but of course we won't know for sure until she actually begins issuing decisions what do we know about justice barrett that leads her critics to warn that she will help the court overturn roe versus wade in the right to an abortion in america. well i think probably the thing we know the most about judge barrett is that she was picked without any human mind she was vetted by the federalist society for that purpose and president trump has made no secret of his desire to see roe v wade overturned and to nominate people who do

just that she doesn't have a tremendously on track record as a judge she's been on the 7th circuit court of appeals for a very short time that in every decision she joined on that court she would have voted to uphold abortion restrictions and to do so i think to some degree in the face of precedent on abortion so i think again she's not convinced that she doesn't seem to be convinced that there is a right to abortion and seems willing to reach that conclusion even when there is precedent that flies in the face of her how come if the presidential election next week is disputed and the supreme court is asked to rule on it what should judge barrett do and what will she in your opinion most likely do. well i think she should recuse herself just from the stand and point of optics one of there's no hard and fast rules about recusal in the united states but there certainly would be an appearance of impropriety which is one of the considerations

judges are supposed to take into account i don't think she will recuse herself i think if the supreme court were tasked with functionally deciding the election donald trump win the election and i think that outcome is exceedingly unlikely because it would really require a situation like we saw in 2000 in the united states in bush v gore or the election came down to very small margins in both the electoral college and the popular vote and turned entirely on one state if polls are at all to be believed in the 2020 election that isn't likely to be true so while the supreme court has been doing a lot to essentially limit state efforts to extend the vote past election day or to have accommodations during the pandemic the court is obviously hostile to those kinds of become additions and will probably become more so with me when you bear it on the court it seems less likely that the court will actually be the one deciding the election. or writes mary ziegler professor of law at florida state

university professor we appreciate your time in your insights tonights thank you thanks for having me. our next story is about a young woman with a brilliant mind and a big heart. has been awarded the german africa prize for her work in somali dedicated to reclaiming a generation that was almost lost to. using the ocean and yoga to heal from trauma is new to many in somalia but it's just one way ilwad elman helps former child soldiers and rape survivors overcome their trauma she calls it your god issue a combination of yoga and. the therapy aims to break down walls of silence and heal . and then asking people to draw comparisons between challenging challenging experiences like pushing your body to

ornaments that give the christmas market so much of their appeal one that is centered on syphon where there is always a with christmas in the air is one of the few christmas markets that will take place this year. the christmas season always comes to the town of syphon in germany southeastern mountains you can find a very very very satisfied. tino going to launch syphon style market a few years ago he sells saxon is world famous wooden figures from his shop in the at the all mountains business is booming modified for the lot is a season before the christmas season the advent period and the pre had been periods of syphon stock market is for just this time of year just so you can look forward to things it's especially important for us to start spreading christmas joy in this season so that people could look forward to christmas after this horrible year. the

whole town is a christmas market and the stalls are at a safe distance to each other visitors following the current virus prevention measures here the fact that siphon is a crisis region doesn't seem to worry them. very fearful crisis or no crisis we can put up with it men who are trying to get through this. everything will be all right . how with the safety measures here everything's great i'm looking around here do you have the impression that there could be christmas markets in germany this year given hell things are here why not have a christmas market. but at the moment it looks like markets like the one inside from could be the exception and not get sold here is very little compared to the masses of items offered at other christmas markets and for which there are hardly any orders julieann atlanta represents more than 100 local people and she has an alternative idea. hope alone doesn't bring anything during the lockdown this spring

we thought a lot about what might happen in the fall and we came up with the idea of creating a virtual christmas market which would definitely be open. yet and definitive. online instead of mulled wine this replace person to person sales are going to is skeptical but he's refusing to call it a catastrophe. to inform the generations before mine who built up our business they had it hard i really can't complain about this sort of thing really easily get through this instead of complaining the people of syphon are stressing how much they're looking forward to christmas and when the pandemic is over. the spirit of christmas here well the day is almost done the conversation it continues online you'll find us on twitter either at the news or you can follow me at t.v. every member whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see the never.

is g w news live from berlin tonight the backlash and the boycotts french president emanuel mccrone facing growing anger across the muslim world for his comments about islam more muslim countries are joining the boycott of french products after mccaughan called islam a religion in crisis in his defense of france's sick killer value stocks also coming off the german chancellor angela merkel is reportedly planning to announce strict new rules to slow the search of the coronavirus daily cases in germany are expected to hit 20000 by weeks and.

i'm brink off it's good to have you with us we begin with the backlash against french president emmanuel mech wrong anger in the muslim world is growing over controversial comments that he made about islam following the brutal murder of a french schoolteacher since then a growing number of muslim countries have criticized and they've joined a drive to boycott french goods. the target of their anger is clear. here in pakistan protesters in. arachchi and islamabad accuse the french president of attacking islam. for asking the behavior of the french government is actually an insult of billions of muslims across the world it's open terrorism an attack against the muslim world may slump on life. or not so we should boycott

french products muslims should boycott their petrol stations which is one of their main product we shouldn't use that fuel at all. or unsafe. in the bangladeshi capital dhaka there were 10 seems as protesters renewed calls for a boycott of french products. by demonstrations also took place in gaza and in tel aviv all in response to microns defense of satirical cartoons including some of the prophet mohammad. his comments follow the brutal murder of a french school teacher who taught a lesson on freedom of speach. leaders in several muslim countries including saudi arabia and iran have condemned france turkey to weighed in with president edouard saying mcallen needs mental checks over his attitude to islam but the french

president is sticking to his stance saying we won't give in ever. his interior minister echoed his opinion. scituate that it's our sovereign right to define what freedom of expression is public order if you get lots of freedom of worship what is and isn't acceptable except acceptable. words that one served to come to a growing wave of anger sweeping the muslim world france is warning its citizens in several muslim majority countries to take extra security precautions. and world that i'm joined now by martin jacques used religious affairs analyst good evening to you martin is this really just about different values. a clash of cultures if you will or are there political interests behind. i think micro has given a great opportunity to a different set of leaders that have found themselves in difficult situations head

home so where do on with the economy has had sort of an ongoing confrontation with friends recently and a group territorial waters saudi arabia is seen that's one of the actors approaching. warming up to the israelis so that it's also causing discomfort in the region and you know finding finding no sort of the french taking this position is quite convenient at the very same time i think that the french west and it's a question that really does have to wait values and given the fact that ferdie sort of fairly standard. muslim understanding so islamic understanding of blasphemy is that it should be met with violence the question that you know francis us king is whether that kind of peace land that interpretation of islam he's actually compatible with french republican values that have to look to you tolerating those things that we find in fact offensive and this is a question that will be i think really quite difficult to answer not just politically but culturally and what i want to ask you what about the leaders in

these muslim majority countries that are criticizing the french president they are pointing to the words emanuel macron but saying very little if anything about the crime that was committed here the beheading of a french schoolteacher what does that say then about these leaders. i mean it's quite clear that this leader is her under into a base east really quite remarkable that the focus of the discussion and this includes obviously media has been really the sense of offense. the muslim community has taken at least in the voice of these leaders but the fact that we have had sporadic outbursts of extreme violence including you know. any terrorist some sort of targeting jewish children in france you know journalists. concert goers and so want something that somehow follows through the way sides. the broom that mccrone confronts is that he's no only not only dealing with the question of really just

violence he's also dealing with the fact that much of this really just violence at least in this last night aeration has actually proceeded from daryn so if this from the school where this professor with these teacher was was teaching and other students so i mean this is we're no longer talking only about terri some we're also talking about part of the community and this of course makes the question to look more complex but also a lot more dangerous because actually it runs the risk of forcing a lot of the french voters further to the right into the hands of it so i'm a photo of send and send hopes all religious affairs analyst martin jacques with analysis tonight on the situation in france and the french boycott martin thank you . our lives take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world the opposition leader on the tanzania niland of zanzibar has been released hours after being arrested while voting early in the presidential election the official polling day is wednesday security forces have shot at least 9 people in election

related clashes at least 4 people including 2 children died when a boat carrying migrants to england capsized off the northern french coast around 18 people have been plucked from the sea by rescuers in an operation that went on into the night its opposition lawmakers in poland have disrupted proceedings in parliament in protest at tighter abortion was members waved placards backing a woman's right to choose pro-choice activists have also taken to the streets to oppose a court ruling amounting to a near total ban on abortion. maybe kone barrett has been sworn in as a u.s. supreme court justice republican secured her confirmation in a close vote the move locks in a conservative majority on the court handing president trump a big victory just a week before the election. well here in germany millions are bracing for strict

new rules aimed at slowing the spread of covert night seemed the country is seeing a big surge in infections the country's economics minister warning that new daily cases could approach 20000 by the end of this week german chancellor merkel and state leaders will reveal just which restrictions that they plan to impose tomorrow meanwhile ordinary germans are preparing for life under what is being called a lock down. back much tossing in berlin's quite district this is one of 10 busy streets in the german capital where people now have to wear a face mask germany has seen record numbers of coronavirus cases has been particularly hard hit now all 12 districts here are considered hotspots the pressure is growing here in germany for politicians to introduce new stricter measures against the coronavirus especially as numbers continue to grow this is something that is being debated on a daily basis here in germany both on the streets but also in the german press the

latest topic to be discussed is a possibility of introducing a so-called lockdown right under this proposal which is reportedly favored by chancellor merkel schools and daycare would remain open except in the worst hit areas restaurants and bars would have to shut and large events would be banned so far most bars and restaurants have to close only between 11 pm and 6 am for many berliners new measures are necessary even if they mean fewer freedoms but others are more skeptical we all has to give ourselves a push now and see that it goes in the right direction. the numbers are always going up so you have to do your part to make them go down again there would be a profit this instance and i hope that we will be spared but unfortunately we can't rule the salt completely although i'm not sure if it will really help to contain the pandemic and then you know for most people i assume that there will be new measures there's nothing you can do about it and we have to get the infection under

control in this new presuming that the new restrictions are expected on wednesday after chancellor merkel meets with germany's 16 regional leaders. you know it's bring in our correspondent julie in south delhi she's on the story for us tonight here in berlin good evening to you julia so we know that the chancellor has called this meeting for tomorrow it was scheduled actually to be later in the week but the situation so dire the chancellor wants it to happen on wednesday what more do we know about what's going to come out of. as you said the fact that america brought the meeting shows how serious the situation is and it's going to be up to mack of the try to find unity among the 16 state leaders and try to find a you know more uniform set of rules that can stand for the entire country media reports here in germany have said merkel intends to propose a so-called lights that is quite similar to what we have see them place here in germany in the spring during the 1st wave of the coronavirus and so that would mean

restaurants and bars would remain closed public events would be canceled shops can remain open under certain conditions and most importantly schools with remain open that is a priority for the government and stricter lockdowns would then be imposed to areas where cases are rising out of control and that is already the case in 2 areas in the southern state of area and now tomorrow. will push for these new restrictions to be. applied there is hope that since some state leaders including mark with their other from bavaria and. from northwest running this failure has already expressed their approval for a new measures to be put forth that an agreement will be found and we're talking about the restrictions which will mean more sacrifices people in the public german chancellor today she paid tribute to the medical staff in the country that's

dealing with this public health crisis take a listen. to me how can you do it if the coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the importance of care in a very special way we are only aware of the sometimes stressful situation of those in need of care and during depend demick the outstanding performance of the nursing staff. that is why i want to thank all of the workers and the participating representatives for the very exceptional commitment of the care workers. that hospitalizations your body have increased the number of people who need intensive care for example that's doubled within the last 2 weeks how hospitals prepared another sure. currently there about 1500 covert 1000 patients in intensive care here in germany hospitals that as you said is a higher number compared to the last couple of weeks but it is still lower compared to the peak reached and april that was around 2812 in 1000 patients in intensive

care in total germany has around 30000 intensive care beds and we are far from reaching that limit at the moment so the system is far from being overwhelmed in fact germany is taking in coded 1000 patients from the neighboring netherlands germany is also well equipped in terms of ventilators what could be a problem here is the lack of specialized staff specialized nursing staff and if hospitalizations were to rise that could become a problem for the german health systems especially in rural areas we understand. the latest here in berlin julia thank you here's some of the other developments in the corona virus pandemic russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov is self i actually don't have to be in contact with a person who tested positive for the virus doctors in syria or warning of a coded 19 catastrophe they say the disease is spreading unchecked across
