in order to avoid a repeat italy's prime minister has just approved 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 cat and mouse local media reports the group was made up of hardcore football fans newness outrageous riot police fire at kid gas and water cannon to send them home. design a shops were targeted to and milan police clashed with protesters tear gas and pyrotechnics and plentiful supply several arrests were made as the caribbean yairi try to restore order to the city's otherwise quiet street. the unrest was taken

knighted by new rules forcing the country's hospitality industry to close its doors at 6 pm. italy's 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. a place 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 i have 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 as strong. well italians once again being asked to go inside and to wait. night i'm joined by sylvia bacardi she is a journalist in milan good evening to you 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. and there are more than $20900.00. and in rome it's the moment there are protests going on and we know that there are a group of people groups of 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 see are italians are they angry over what restrictions mean for public health service time or the angry over what these restrictions could do to the nation's economic health so 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. the moment that are considered the red regions. 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 jews have begun to announce his decision 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 surprises that have been. heat by this 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 are not being hit describe either reports people saying that they feel like they're being unfairly targeted by these restrictions journalists joining us tonight from milan thank you thank you. 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 toss a. 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 a 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 and large events would be banned so far most pozen 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 for the census and hope that we will be spared but unfortunately we can't rule the salt completely although i'm not sure if it would really help to contain the

pandemic on the islands of the 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 fortunately the new restrictions are expected on wednesday after chancellor merkel meets with germany's 16 regional leaders. in the united states the confirmation of a macone barrett to the u.s. supreme court has cemented the conservative majority in america's top court there it is the 3rd supreme court justice appointed by president truong she is promising to deliver justice with no bias sees 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 economy barack 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. barack 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 a presidential election. opponents of cannae barrett's nomination say it paves the way for conservative rulings on abortion rights health care and. rights karni barrett val that she will remain independent. even though we judges don't face elections we still work for you. it is your constitution that establishes the rule of law and the judicial independence that is so central to it. she'll take the 2nd opportunity and if some choose date and a private ceremony which will allow her to begin official duties on the court. are in 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 present she joins us tonight from santa rosa theme 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 restate 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 that 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 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 avoid 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 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 would 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 corner 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 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 and 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 any county barrett 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 tonight thank you thanks for having me. our next story is about a young woman with a brilliant mind and a big heart ilwad elman 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

germany is world famous for its christmas markets with their mulled wine toasted almonds and car wouldn't figures but not this year the city of moore and bear has just decided to cancel its world famous chris kindles mark which usually draws about $2000000.00 visitors there is a year round industry that's devoted to supplying these markets with the folks that give the christmas market so much of their appeal one that is centered on siphon 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 sanction in germany southeastern mountains you can find a very very very satisfied. tino going to launch siphon star market a few years ago he sells saks newsworld famous wooden stick has from his shop in the. mountains business is booming a fight for what 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 cycling is a crisis region doesn't seem to worry them. we're not very fearful crisis or no crisis we can put up with it man which trying to get through this. everything will be alright. 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 health things are here why not have

a christmas market. but at the moment it looks like markets like the one in siphon could be the exception and what gets sold here is very little compared to the masses of items offered at other christmas markets and for which there are hardly any orders uli on a corner represents more than $100.00 local craftspeople 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 by. dad and definitive of this online instead of mulled wine this replaces person to person sales you know going to is skeptical but he's refusing to call it a catastrophe. to inform the generations before mine who builds 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

child miners collect a mineral widely used and cosmetics. all phones and electronic devices all contain cobalt and gold medals that are often extracted in some of the world's poorest regions and conflict zones under hazardous conditions. $1000000.00 children between the ages of $5.17 are forced to work in these mineral mines according to the organization start child labor on average they earn less than $2.00 a day mining wrong experience for a sector that sees revenues totalling $700000000000.00 a year the global mineral industry is booming but the poor and vulnerable are paying the price. come out debbie and her 5 year old son raj you turn the earth in search of mica the glittering mineral plays

a vital role in this region's economy for many people mining the raw material is the only way to survive. children working for hours in the blistering sun in the indian state of jharkhand it's nothing out of the ordinary to a better than lola my children are so young but there's no other way of making a living here there's no farming nothing i can't afford to send them to school they have to help me they manage to 2 and have kilos a day we work until 5 in the evening that they used to be more than 700 official mica mines in northern india but in 1900 new law came into force banning deforestation that made it almost impossible to access new sources of the mineral oil companies left but the mines remained today some 50000 adults and children working illegally almost all the workers are darl it's the lowest rung in the

indian caste system many a members of indigenous tribes who are socially marginalised because there's little in the way of industry in the area people are reliant on the mines a kilogram of mica can bring up to the equivalent of 20 euro cents but often they receive just half of that. middleman clean the mineral in large filter drums the platelets are then cant into varying sizes this is how it enters the market. the word mica describes a group of naturally occurring silica materials that are rigid yet at the same time elastic. for. many industries use the mineral in huge quantities among them the cosmetics sector. from. a few years ago anna maria hagar and her husband kayu founded their company lethal

cosmetics the yeager's stress that all the ingredients the firm uses r.v. can and ethically sourced in other words they guarantee no animal testing was involved in production and no child labor one of the key role materials lethal cosmetics uses is mica some of it comes from india. we have 3 different types of mica. at this is for example of a sparkling version which also has a medic affected. and what is great about this as dead space parking you but it's completely natural so it's free for any plastics. behaviors can't imagine making their cosmetics without mica. that's why they decided to hand pick their supplier in india they chose a distributor who was able to provide assurances that his mica only comes from mines that don't use child labor. although in the sector it's often difficult to

determine where the material originated the key to that is having to pry cases that are as short as possible because if you're buying from a distributor who was buying from another distributor then it becomes very interesting area where things come from with our suppliers it's one supplier that's often the manufacturer of the or threatened with the mines that also does the audits of the mines has been the only audited as well and that is where it gained that offer those mike is used in a wide range of applications the biggest buyer in 2015 in terms of market value was the elektra onyx industry followed by companies that added the minolta banks and lacquers micro also finds widespread use in the construction industry and of course it plays an important role in the cosmetics sector. every day commentary and her son toil away to help satisfy the global hunger for

micah they never have any problem selling what they've collected to one of many traders if they receive 150 rupees a little under 2 euros then it's a good day she says that's enough to buy some vegetables some rice but for that everyone has to pitch in including both her daughters aged $7.00 and $9.00. adults and now i'm always afraid when i'm working that i'll be bitten by insects or snakes or that i'll fall into a pit oh it's called fire bomb and i'd really like to go to school. but we need money we don't even have our own house so i have to collect like. an ambiguous law has been in place in india since 2016 no child under the age of 14 is allowed to work but the government itself concedes that around 12000000 children and young people are doing just that aid organizations estimate there are around 44000000 child laborers in india. it's thought that around

22000 children are working in a legal mines in the states of jharkhand and bihar. many of them have never known a life without work through the course of their size they're often made to crawl into freshly dug unsecured pits and shafts. i'm always afraid when i'm looking for mica not long ago over there 2 or 3 children of my age were buried among the shafts and they died i want to go to school i don't want this. for companies that work with my care products it's a perpetual balancing act between marketing and morals business and conscience that

lethal cosmetics in berlin the jaegers are trying to tackle the issue head on wherever possible they want to know exactly where their role materials are coming from they also don't try to conceal from their customers that they use might or is the entire regions of india that are financially dependent on mica and so if you replace it with something for example something the synthetic you're basically taking away their livelihood so i think it's absolutely within our responsibility of course is to offer within the responsibility of everybody in the chain to make sure that it's produced as a ethically as a. the cosmetics industry is very secretive when it comes to micah 2017 saw the launch of the responsible mica initiative an alliance of companies obtaining my care from india they all say they have a clear goal to end child labor in the mines by 2022 but an interview on the subject to camera well all are requests including those sent to big industry names

like merrick the clarence group and you call posh a were turned down. if you ask the miners of jharkhand how to solve a problem they say genuine change can only come if mining is once again officially allowed because that's the only way to offer workers clear safety standards and a fair wage then their children wouldn't have to work some politicians have been demanding the reintroduction of official mining for a long time i did buy them a good or good but we're all glad to go child labor can only be abolished if the government legalizes the mines and companies assume responsibility companies could then join forces to create cooperatives for the children we need a sufficient number of public schools free education free meals and basic amenities to enable them to lead a better life. but nothing is changing the government tolerates the system turning

a blind eye on a sector that makes a lot of money from micah and the children forced to work with it this young man a child labor himself just a few years ago is in despair yard you cannot be my daughter you can see that all the labor is here are giving their sweat and blood they're breaking their bones what kind of life is this not get there get the government can't just look the other way don't we deserve better than this that we never. the north to know paul this week's global teen lives in the capital kathmandu. beachy. 6 6 my name is asked by a new 17 years ago then i live here in their pocket mind.

progress in cuba is happening at a slower pace and in many ways the country is still culturally and socially isolated the legacy of the cuban revolution when communist revolutionary fidel castro took power in 1959 he nationalized industries and seized the u.s. owned property worth $1000000000.00 in 1960 the u.s. retaliated with a trade embargo that remains in place today. many cubans are unhappy with the low standard of living and restrictions on travel and up to leave if they can socialism has given women education employment and in theory equal rights but they still contend with patriarchal attitude shaped by the revolution cuban society remains stansell a sexist place where it's far from easy for a woman to assert her individuality.
