15000 pieces are you you can draw just. curious is moving all the wrong in your usually lives he's troopers 3 weeks was asian or fly. have risen. above all and leisure using fewer people. is. back much time 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 corona virus cases has been particularly hard hit now all 12 districts here are considered hot spots pressure is growing here in germany the 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. does this proposal which is reportedly favored by chancellor merkel schools i'm taking it 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 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 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 proof of this and says 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 newsroom and with the new restrictions are expected on wednesday after chancellor merkel meets with germany's 16 regional leaders. so what can we be looking for more on that let's bring indeed overused political correspondent nina good morning to you nina what kind of new restrictions to be going into a factor and would they be national or regional. along the american lawyers aiming for what she's calling a wave break a locked down and newspaper germany's biggest tabloid actually has some details of what's on the table the aim is to prevent the health care system from collapsing it's still coping ok at the moment bought new infections are rising much faster than expected i see filling up very fast so i'm going to press for that partial

lockdown also dubbed lockdown like pubs and restaurants would be closed the number of people you can meet outside of your own home will be drastically limited events will be canceled the main difference apparent need to what happened during the 1st wave in the spring according to this plan would be that schools and kindergartens would stay open for as long as possible and that shops would also remain open to a certain extent now whether national or regional i'm going back to wants them to be national but of course the country 16 states have the final say on which restrictions to impose and there's already some resistance from individual state premiers along with the resistance you know there's been some criticism of the process for arriving at any new guidelines with concerns that the german parliament's not being sufficiently involved does the chancellor have the authority to order a national law down without the bundestag or without the state premiers. well no she doesn't and that of course goes back to our country's history where rules were implemented to avoid giving the government in berlin too much power that could

potentially be abused but during the 1st wave in the spring the german parliament did give the government certain exceptional competencies to be able to act fostering this pandemic and then germany did get through this fast way fairly well and numbers were low in the summer and then people not just from the opposition parties also from party from americans own government coalition were demanding that the national and regional parliaments get more of a say on the measures but having said that those voices have not been very loud in the past 10 days when it became clear that we're being hit by a much stronger 2nd wave than expected and is there any way to gauge how a 2nd even limited lockdown will be affecting the economy and the educational system both of which have already been hard hit by the 1st lockdown well of course discussion is in full swing how do you keep the economy going how do you keep schools in kindergarden open and there does seem to be the agreement that the priority must be to keep the educational system going keep schools and daycares

open not just for educational purposes but would of course also allow parents in essential jobs to go to work and the big worry is of course how much will the economy be affected and there is a lot of criticism coming from organizations that represent pub and restaurant owners they say those plant measures are unfair and would risk throwing people into basically having to give up their own businesses. following the story for us this morning thanks very much. here's some of the latest developments in the pandemic globally india is now approaching 8000000 confirms coronavirus cases this comes as the capital delhi reports its highest number of new delhi infections about 5000 on wednesday the c.e.o. of dubai airport as warned that the air hub is facing a slow recovery and could see passenger traffic fall in as much as 70 percent this year the airport was the world's busiest for international travel before the crisis

and there is some progress in the state of victoria in australia the epicenter of covert 1000 infections in that country it has not recorded any new cases for the last 48 hours it's the 1st time that's happened in more than 7 months. now the backlash between islamic countries and france over president micron's comments on islam and freedom of speech is growing strong as strongly defended characters of the prophet muhammad following the brutal murder of a french teacher or use them in classroom discussions about free speech since then there have been massive anti french rallies in muslim majority countries. the target of their anger is clear. here in pakistan protesters in karate and islamabad accuse the french president of attacking islam. for asking the behavior of the french government is actually an insult to billions

of muslims across the world it's open terrorism on an attack against the muslim world may slump. we should boycott french products muslims should boycott their petrol stations which is one of their main products we shouldn't use that fuel at all for. all rents everywhere. in the bangladeshi capital dhaka there were 10 scenes as protesters renewed calls for a boycott of french products. demonstrations also took place in gaza and in tel aviv all in response to microns defense of satirical cartoons including some of the prophet mohammed. 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 wade in with president editor one

saying mcallen needs mental checks over his attitude to islam but the french president is sticking to his stunts saying we won't give in ever. his interior minister echoed his opinion. she too thought it's our sovereign right to define what freedom of expression is public order if you give us freedom of worship what is and isn't acceptable except the. words that one serve to calm the growing wave of anger sweeping the muslim world france's warning its citizens in several muslim majority countries to take extra security precautions. let's get you up to date now on some of the other stories made in the news this hour at least 8 people have been killed in 2 separate attacks in the afghan capital kabul at least 3 people died in a roadside bombing several more were injured in a separate attack 5 special forces members were killed in

schedule rallying in michigan wisconsin and nebraska. his democratic rival joe biden has been campaigning in georgia he's attempting to push into territory where trump was once expected to easily repeat his victory over will reclaim 4 years ago . now despite his loyal voter base the u.s. president continues to be a polarizing figure both at home and abroad surveys show most germans want him to lose to joe biden but trump does have some fans here in germany visited 2 of them want to hamburg and one interest in. a new high that come and then comes out on the much and ice leaves no doubt. 47 year old communications manager from greece in eastern germany is a fan of donald trump the graf find not very many people in germany support the

u.s. president publicly here. he says trump brings back the american dream. live a little 2 per cent of happiness or bus. stop that no state and no majority and that many circumstances has the right to rule into this core of human dignity and dimension. but it's not just trumps domestic politics that convince him it's his foreign policy to it is based on a strategy which is called peace through strength and has helped stabilize the middle east he says. several arab countries have now established diplomatic relations with israel this is something that was inconceivable before trammel refusing those. critics not from hamburg is a 30 year old consultant and also a big trump fan calling the u.s.

president a pathological liar is unjustified he things trump a lot easier when trying to trump polarizes and trump express this is opinion harshly but he doesn't live in the journalists who sometimes publish outrageous stories on for example c.n.n. or the new york times and i think these journalists should really fast of all practice self-criticism and return to journalistic standards before they try to drag donald trump through the mud every day trump interdicted seeing. trump is equally excused of destabilizing international organizations and the transatlantic partnership ground this accusation says to fictional defacto in fact trump is committed to the american electorate and not any global organizations of the un the you or anyone else likely to turn back for example trump is only committed to his voters and he's implementing the politics he promised. even though

he is behind in the polls both men hope that trump will win the election in november and continue implementing his policies in the years to come. fighting between armenia and azerbaijan over the disputed region of mcgovern okoro has entered its 2nd month after a 3rd ceasefire failed on tuesday the region lies within azerbaijan but has been under the control of armenian military forces since a war there ended in 1994 a u.s. brokered truce failed to take effect on monday just like 2 earlier truce is negotiated by russia armenia and azerbaijan continue to blame each other for the ceasefire violations. d.w. has its reporters on the ground on both sides of this conflict are until in the standing by for us in the armenian capital year of on and in minutes of the year and azerbaijan we have to use your young data both of you what's happening where

you are and also budge on. the hostilities continue despite renewed international calls on both sides to stop and to respect the latest u.s. brokered cease fire now in a bit to say that dio us secretary of state my pump a urged azerbaijan and armenia again to pursue a diplomatic solution but without much success as a big john accused armenia last evening of striking the ball in a region not very far from where i am right now with rockets killing at least 4 civilians wounding 13 other is now the foreign ministry here in the country. it's called face attack and i quote from here another war crime committed by armenia while armenia as defense ministry rejected the accusation and let me also quote them as an absolute lie and a dirty provocation so as we speak the fighting the clashes continue and so does

the war of words. aaron over to you in your of on talking about the fighting the armenian government admits that its troops have been losing territory to azerbaijani forces what's of planning in response to that. well you're very right we've heard statements from both the armenian ministry of defense and also from the ministry of defense in the region indicating that especially in the southern part of the region they are losing ground to azerbaijani forces now they also published a list of the fallen which indicates that some $1100.00 troops have so far lost their lives in the conflict now when it comes to their specific defense strategy of course they're keeping mum they don't want exposed to much however i was able to talk to some young conscripts who are joining the ranks of the armenian military and they told me they expected to receive a very truncated basic training as a boot camp if you if you will and they were expected to be sent to the front within the next couple days and we're told to expect a much larger draw up of armenian forces in the days and weeks to come so it seems

that armenia is preparing to throw its full weight behind defending. it sounds like we're looking at an escalation here listening to aaron now much as the success of the azerbaijani forces is being attributed to the military support they're getting from turkey from turkish president. can you fill us in on that. well turkey is the azerbaijan most important backer both when it comes to expressions of solidarity publicly and military support turkey has provided by john with the arms with those trying drones for example in military training and there are accusations that turkey has been sending syrian messner east to fight on behalf of the johnny army syrian opposition activists rule monitoring groups and media organizations have confirmed these claims but both ankara and back who strictly

deny these accusations but here on the ground in scenes that turkish support is really edging as i john's political leadership on it certainly has an effect on the population here many people we speak to say they thank president for his support many people have both as a by johnny and turkish flags hanging from their balcony so turkish influence turkish support is very visible here in azerbaijan we're ever you go. in the background turkey is to be in talks right now with armenia is main backer russia can you tell us anything about those discussions between these key regional powers . well the point that you were brit was bringing up right there is actually very key i think to understanding the shape of the conflict here this is very much a regional conflict not just between armenia and azerbaijan but also between russia and turkey as well and we're told that russian president vladimir putin has reached

out to his turkish counterpart russia type of air to one last night to discuss the conflict and some of the influences turkey is having on azerbaijan and the view here on the ground and yet of on in in armenia more broadly is that getting turkey on to the negotiating table getting them involved in ceasefire talks is key to determine any type of lasting peace so there's overture between moscow and cora could be seen as a 1st step in that process getting turkey to come to negotiations and exerting their influence on azerbaijan and more of a direction towards getting a lasting ceasefire aaron tilted for us in the end yulia on faurisson as a bridge on thanks so much to both of you now an opposition leader who survived 16 assassins bullets faces off against an incumbent who says prayer can prevent covert 19 polls have opened in tanzania's presidential and parliamentary elections and spheres of violence more than 29000000

people are registered to vote rights groups say authorities have cracked down on critical voices by closing down media outlets opposition parties say police disrupt their campaigns and that electoral stories have been disqualifying dozens of their opposition candidates. president john foully is seeking a 2nd 5 year term he represents the ruling. party which has been holding power for decades. rallying his supporters before the election incumbent john magaw foully is running on an economy that until recently was growing fast. i ask you my fellow tanzania to vote for me on the 28th i want to bring new changes to tanzania you were all witnesses that in my 1st term in power i have brought a lot of changes to this country. that economic record has taken

a hit from the coronavirus pandemic critics say the government has covered up tanzania's outbreak maghrib fully said the country had conquered the virus through prayer the government stopped updating its infection numbers earlier this year the opposition says that's part of a trend of suppressing bad news and press freedoms and brutalizing rival political parties todo list who heads a coalition of opposition groups he spent 3 years in exile after an assassination attempt he claims the government is ratcheting up its crackdown on rival groups. the kind of violence that we see we're beginning to see. ease ease is is different this time. there is you me is is bad and that would be. because in a free and fair election fair and square. voters see the 2 sides in starkly

different terms secretes didn't. know the road to what we see you can guess it was we don't we see it anything can just course we see. something we're here because we are patriots and because we are tired of the oppression that is happening in our country. our country has a lot of resources which could make it rich and that's what i. unfortunately our leaders have a lust for power and are denying us not. only that. the government has limited the ability of international media to cover the election and tonight accreditation to international election observers that's cast further doubt over whether the poll will be free and fair. we have some sports now and in champions league football defending champions byron munich found themselves in a tight match playing at lokomotiv moscow tuesday the home team in green here

managed to outplay byron too much of the game and had the score tied one goal piece in the 2nd half but in the 79th minute joshua kimmage scored from just outside the penalty area by and escaped with a 21 win there. are some scores from the evening's champions league group stage match ups as mentioned once again byron munich just got past look i'm a t.v. moscow was england box wandered a 2 goal lead to draw with real madrid manchester city had no trouble defeating marsay and liverpool labored to a 2 nil when at mitchell and of denmark well it is the cannes film festival but not quite as we know it a very different version of the famous french celebration of cinema getting underway today the main festival earlier this year cancelled of course due to the pen demick the alternative version is more low key showcasing

a range of short films over 3 days but it comes as the country again struggles with rapidly rising numbers of infections. the glitz and glamor almost gone in can this year with no major influx of international movie stars organizers decided to invite spectators to walk the red carpet for the opening and unconventional beginning to one of the world's most famous film festivals but then again the festival's director was careful to point out this is no regular. first of all it's not become a film 1st of all it's the cannes film festival that came to cannes and october in the midst of a to mull truancy year so as not to forget the people of can know the spectators the general public and to celebrate both feature films and short films over 3 days the festival is usually held over 2 weeks in may but it was cancelled last year due

to the coronavirus pandemic. at this more low key and socially distanced 3 day event several short movies will compete for a prize and 4 of the original $56.00 films will be shown organizers said they were determined to hold the stripped back festival despite travel restrictions and health regulations. they want to boost the cinema industry and help the region hit hard by coronavirus lockdowns many here are unsure about the future. i don't know if the festival will take place next year we just don't know but if. we hope that next year it will go back to normal even now it's just amazing to have a mini festival. while organizers say they can't guarantee the festival will take place in my next year they insist 2021 will happen special or

not. and we have much more on these and other stories or website. dot com for now though for me bryan thomas the entire team thanks so much for being with us.
