monday a partial lockdown will take effect in all of germany 4 weeks of no dining out no domestic travel and no nightlife a november of shutdowns and shut ins that will hopefully shut out the fires i'm bringing up in berlin this is the day. the speed at which the fire is spreading at the moment is 60 chile quake what we're experiencing is an exponential rise in you cases of the important indicator of ice use and the number of patients being treated in them here again and the last 10 days the numbers have doubled if the speed rise of new infections continues the response capacity of the public health system will soon be exceeded we must act to

prevent an acute national public health emergency. also coming up as they say they are sick and tired of dealing with the coronavirus but never too tired to throw a party tonight pandemic fatigue in madrid and the police are on the way. we just rented a place so we could drink and smoke inside to get a few visitors even wore masks but that didn't last long and honestly young people's biggest fear is having to pay a fine that's why the places need to be well insulated so the neighbors and the police won't detect anything. 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 exactly where she feared we would end up a few weeks ago german chancellor angela merkel sounded the alarm over the troubling row. lives in new coronavirus cases in the country and she warned not

enough was being done to slow the spread and she was right new daily cases are now approaching 20000 here in germany so today with the support of all regional leaders the chancellor announced a partial lockdown for the country for all 'd of november medical said that time is running out to flatten the curve again and that the decisions made today will mean wife or death tomorrow here on the south temple that is us or that the issue here is that this is a b. and at which the virus is spreading at the moment it is particularly quick what we are experiencing is an exponential rise in new cases with doubling times that are quicker and quicker today for example we had twice as many infections and this is the case with other important indicators as well for example the important indicator of our i.c. use and the number of patients being treated in them here again in the last 10 days the numbers have doubled if the speed of the rise of new infections continues the

response capacity of our public health system was soon be exceeded and this is why it is absolutely clear that we must act and we must act now we do not want to have a health emergency in this country and to prevent it we must take measures. the most important tool that we have and i've talked about it again to curb the spread of that and make is being able to trace the contacts of every new infection and this is a tool that is no longer available to us because the public health offices have reached the limits of what they are able to trace we no longer have the control of the spur of the spread of the virus and we must change this and for more now i'm joined by to be escort he's an epidemiologist and director of the institute for

public health at the sharon tate hospital here in berlin and professor kurt it's good to have you on this show let me ask you that the german chancellor she warned the country several weeks ago that we would be in this situation because the measures she said were not strict enough stringent enough to slow the virus and that is indeed what has happened this partial walked right action at the right time i think it's the right time it's about the right time maybe a little too late to implement these measures as you said since the merkel has predicted as others have predicted that this development and we're not surprised to see this so right now it's the time to really react because if we wait things will get worse and then we cannot do it with a lock on all 3 to 4 weeks to really solve the situation and to reduce the number of inspections it's not a complete lockdown and it's also not going to be

a 2 week short period that had been predicted we're talking about it entirely. with this partial walked. is that enough time. i think it's well you can argue that 2 weeks would be sufficient but we know that we see the result of a 2 week lock down after another 2 weeks so i think 4 week is the right time because otherwise you would not be sure whether the measure actually worked out think it's important to keep schools and child support open because that's a very important aspect i understand it measures a very hard for some people and we all have to support these businesses to to really keep their their function over these 4 weeks and after really to hopefully go out and enjoy them again but if we don't do anything right now we are in a situation where it's getting much worse and we see other countries west of germany and also these of germany where the situation is really bad and then you

cannot we need have a lockdown in place for 4 weeks it will be much much longer than the decision to force restaurants to. do you think that is. a wise decision to me is there proof that restaurants are places where the virus is being transmitted. well it's indoor people sitting in door and obviously you cannot wear a mask while you're eating the ventilation situation it's also sometimes difficult to understand that it may not be a major force of the intention and most of the infections may be happening elsewhere but i think it's d.d.e. only way to really make it make a sort of measure of that that we is accepted i also think it's important to have it all over germany in just not regionally so i think unfortunately it's right decision to close rest wrong as much as i had it myself how did we get to this

point maybe you're familiar discussed with the police here in berlin had to break up a party that had 600 people attending despite all of the restrictions mean has our behavior made the situation worse. difficult to say i'm not a friend of accusing a specific part of the population of have done something wrong i think it's a diffusion faction situation where many of the infections this happen at home or like at situations where you don't even expect to get infected so yes we have to pardon situation certainly that is that is not a good thing doing on a pandemic to do because he would increase the likelihood of of infection but overall i think that nothing really went long we as a population may not have listened carefully enough and we may have focused too much on on the on a discussion off of that people argue against it and not support the people actually following this measures and recommendation since many weeks

a month and now we're facing this lockdown of we all have to stay together otherwise it won't work. difficult to say is all a question on the vaccination there will certainly be another way for it's almost impossible to to keep this low and if we have a situation like like now where the hospitals like it in full again with the i see you bats are getting killed again like over 1000 patients we will face another lockdown in the fuchsia in the future hopefully swords and hands and then hopefully we can open up again. to be escorts the director of the institute for public health at the surety hospital here in berlin professor quote we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you thank you for having me. or germany is not alone spain is also dealing with new record high numbers of corona virus infections

the number of coded 1000 deaths is at its highest level since may and there are now new lock downs and curfews but not everyone is a big thing the rule w.'s young phillips reports tonight from madrid. every week and moderate police have been knocking on hundreds of doors to shut down illegal parties my drift allows meetings of up to 6 people who are not related but police have broken up parties of more than 200 who are keen as a business student in madrid he only wants to speak briefly and anonymously as he regularly goes to such parties he himself recently helped organize one. that we just rented a place so we could drink and smoke inside just a few visitors even wore masks but that didn't last long honestly young people's biggest fear is having to pay a fine that's why the places need to be well insulated so the neighbors and the police won't detect anything that. bush wanted.

who are keen and his friends seem unfazed by this that just makes the furred of spending has become infected with the coronavirus at private parties 200 illegal parties were broken up in madrid last week alone police chief javier friend and this is especially troubled by the new business model being developed. bars that are actually supposed to be closed certainly do take money in exchange for letting people in there's a clear economic incentive for it apart from that we have discovered private homes that were charging entrance fees right at the front door this isn't just about a few friends meeting up psychiatry's diego figueroa is calling for more empathy with a young people even if you support strictly abiding by the hygiene measures experts are starting to acknowledge the consequences of such drastic restrictions on young people socialites. right now we have finding that young people's mental health

problems have increased dramatically as a result of the springs to lock down the suicide safe increased by 22 percent so far and attempted suicides have even increased by 35 percent on top of that there's been a major increase in the consumption of alcohol and psychoactive drugs young spaniards are now confronted with new rules all bars in madrid must close at 11 pm starting this week and curfew begins at midnight after a year of the pandemic has necessarily affected the quality of life of young people all over the world at the same time experts keep emphasizing how dangerous partying can be in the current situation spain's chief amala just even directly charged with and asked them to refrain from parties at the moment. even so business student who are keen doesn't want to be forbidden from partying he says he can decide for himself what risky is willing to tolerate even if it means partying in private

homes until 6 am for the duration of the curfew. well my next guest tonight is dr john campbell an independent health analyst and one of the u.k.'s online authorities on this pandemic dr campbell it's good to see you again if you think we've got france going back into lockdown we've got germany going into a partial lockdown we've got parts of the u.k. that are now in some form of a lockdown i mean we see we see total impartial lockdowns nationwide we also see localized lockdowns is one more effective than the others there's a big debate about this in the u.k. at the moment some people say because the downs are regional and there's quite disparate regulations and different people having different regulations in different areas and this causes a lot of confusion and the scientific advisory group for emergency is actually calling for a breakout an overall nationwide temporary lockdown if you like totally 2 weeks

maybe 3 weeks to try and get the situation back down to way it was a few weeks ago because the numbers are quite dramatically increasing now in the u.k. is that the way so then that this scientific question if it out but the political will is not yet then i want to ask you about a new u.k. study showing that antibodies for the corona virus in people who have been infected don't remain in the body very long maybe one to 3 months does this worry you. it actually doesn't too much this is the reacts today and it is a combined study between say more of the polling people in imperial college london and they've actually taken antibody studies from the fingerprint blood test from about 350000 people and almost 20000 of those came back positive so they have a very good sample size to judge by they found out about 30 percent of those people are actually asymptomatic and what they did find over the 3 months of the study

from june to september that they antibody the people testing positive runty when he went down from 6 percent to 4.4 percent which represents about a 26 percent drop off so we see that the antibodies aren't lasting for very long but what that study doesn't do is test for the memory t. cells because it's probably the case that people get people who get more we'll make more empty bottles because the t. cells haven't already aborted the infection so the t. cells are probably the important thing here and the other reason we think that is we if you think way back in britain to the 2003 saw coronavirus type one pandemic that affected about 8000 people in different parts of the world but it was contained people that developed antibodies and they didn't last very long but people that also developed t. cells memory to use that was that fight that virus and they've been tested for this yes 17 years later and they're still present not only that those soft coronas

groups are coronas one antibodies will combat and protect people against oz coronavirus to now there's only 8000 people in the world are infected by that so it's not a big deal but these memory t. cells are hanging around for 17 years now we know that they coronaviruses the cause the common cold this fall coronaviruses course the common cold the immunity for them doesn't last very long and we can become re-infected within the year but what the founders the sauce coronavirus to the particular proteins the actor the virus the antibodies the fight sars corona via. one the particular code change they affect to the same ones as on soft coronavirus 2 which had different from the common cold ones so it looks like the sauce coronavirus one is softer on a virus to fairly similar viruses so i personally expect the t. cell response to be fairly similar and i am optimistic it's going to be a long lived response we don't know that for sure yet but i think that's the way the scientists dotting to head what does this does this is

a good omen then when we want to talk about the efficacy of a coronavirus vaccine. is frustrating because a lot of the scientific papers on the vaccines have not been published yet so there's a lot we don't know but just last week the astra zeneca oxford collaboration vaccine did publish an interim report not wasn't a peer reviewed scientific paper it was more of a commercial publication but they did show that the oxford vaccine the astra zeneca vaccine is effective in people of all age groups equally effective in all age groups which is encouraging because very often the not effective in 0 people they didn't show it raised the 90 body response but important it of also identified a definite memory t. cell response in response to that vaccine now how long that loss of course no one knows because we don't know the future it could be that they will spontaneously disappear at the end of the month but that's very unlikely given the evidence we have from sauce coronavirus one from 2003 i would expect those antibodies after 2

doses of the facts seem to be fairly long lived i am actually quite hopeful about long term immunity and you know let's let's hope for that happen before we say goodbye unite we i think we spoke last week a week before last about the walk down in wales is the u.k. closer now to a nationwide walk down being imposed. if you watch the scientists in the scientific advisory group emergencies they say yes it is the politicians are still resisting it there is some evidence that the phased this 3 phases in england this 5 phase in scotland is a lot down in wales so there's all these different approaches but there is evidence from england that this 3 phase lock down is starting to work now the number of cases a going up that's been increasing but the rate of increase has started to decrease over the past few weeks so in the last week the increase was 7 percent of infections but in the 7 days before that it was 14 percent and of course in september it was 90 to 100 percent so there is some evidence that this is working

so i think what the government probably going to do is stick with this 3 phase pattern for now and see what happens and the hope is it will get the audacity to doubt round about work and hopefully in 3 or 4 weeks time we will take the success anyway we can get it at this stage dr john campbell is always stuck here we appreciate your insights thank you thank you. i wrote the ever record prosperity epic job growth at a safe vaccine that eradicates the virus said quickly ends the pandemic and we're making that fire don't turn they don't want to hear it we're making that turn this is not political it's patriotic wherry a matter where war period. the u.s. presidential election is now just 6 days away and the pandemic remains issue number one nearly 9000000 people have been diagnosed with corona virus in the u.s.

more than 220000 americans have died from coke at 19 hospitals are filling up with some considering rationing care to patients the crisis is getting worse but the trumpet ministration is telling a different story in a new report listing president trump's achievements in office the administration credits trump with ending the cove did 19 pandemic and you see here the press room these which says from the outset of the curve in 1000 pandemic the administration has taken decisive actions to be gauged scientists and health professionals in academic industry and government to understand to treat and hugo defeat the disease well that is a narrative that defies truth and that just 6 days to go into the election joining me now is my colleagues and he's with us going to in our washington d.c. bureau good evening to you sumi has there been any reaction to the

white house's claim that they've ended this pandemic which is not ending. but as you can imagine there's been a reaction that's been really a mix of bewilderment some frustration even anger particularly among democrats senator elizabeth warren who some of our viewers will remember was herself in the running to be a democratic presidential candidate well she tweeted earlier today is this a sick joke the penn demick is getting worse americans are dying and bread that really reflects what many observers see here as a real dissonance between the messaging that we hear from the white house and president trump who in many rallies in the past few weeks on the campaign trail has repeatedly said that america is turning the corner and the reality on the ground and you have to look no further than the numbers you mentioned them yourself i mean the virus really is still raging through the country at this point 8700000 infections 226000 people have died if you look at the average the number of cases

new cases over a 7 day period that has also hit a record 70000 and you also mention the fact that hospitals in some states are either reaching capacity or either add capacity over capacity they are struggling with the load right now as well so for observers here it is questionable to see such a statement from the white house i do want to point out as well however that the white house is somewhat walked back to the statement today in an interview with fox news the right wing media outlet the strategic communications director alyssa farah she said yes that statement was poorly worded you know the pandemic is still ongoing of course people need to stay vigilant but she said the reason president trump keeps talking about rounding the corner is he's talking about a vaccine being available very soon and that should be rolled out by the end of the year to millions of americans well brant we also know that the top infectious disease expert in this country anthony fauci said it will be months into 2021 next year until a vaccine is readily available to many people so more of that dissonance spread a wall of cognitive dissonance there for sure let's talk about this cue the early

voting is bringing out voters like never before told about the record numbers and what do these early voting numbers what did the poor mr bardhan and mr drum. those numbers are blowing records and he said out of the water we've seen a 70000000 ballots cast across the country already and the number of ballots cast in mail in voting and also in person early voting is actually more than 50 percent of the total turnout of 2016 and what that tells us when it really underscores the incredible enthusiasm that we've seen for people to to go on and cast their ballots what we saw as well covering voting across the country you know some of those long lines the pictures we've seen in georgia and texas but also new york and pennsylvania and the reason is voters have told us they see this as an existential election that if the other side wins it essential will mean the end of the country for them so that is why that is really driving people out in droves to the polls now whether it benefits the democrats of the republicans well in early voting the indication is that the majority of people who voted so far have tended towards the

democrats this is a younger popular population a more diverse population people tend to vote democrat but don't forget that on election day november 3rd we're also going to see a surge of republicans heading out to the polls that could tip the balance back in favor of president trump so it is true early to say whether this record turnout this enthusiasm in the u.s. really will tip the outcome one way or the other. day in election night even more exciting let's talk about where the 2 candidates were this week president straw stopped in nebraska yesterday a state that offers only one electoral college vote and we sold joe biden campaigning this week in georgia state that has a democrat since 1009. what do these 2 campaign stops or do they tell us about this race. ok so 1st of all let's start with nebraska president trump there yes you're right that there is one electoral college vote but you know brant everyone is saying this election is going to come down to the wire there even fear is that

we could have a tie in the electoral college and for some of our viewers who are not familiar these are the people who actually vote for the president so president trump is really trying to make sure he picks up every vote that he can along the way now as for joe biden yes georgia has reliably been in the hands of the publicans for many years since 1902 as you pointed out but right now it is a dead heat between joe biden and president trump and the reason is we're seeing demographic changes in a state like georgia a large african-american population a growing latino population also more younger voters turning out so that it's changing some of those traditional voting patterns and one more point there brant i should mention there are 2 crucial senate seats up for grabs also in georgia so that is another reason we've seen both biden and trump on the ground in georgia to lend their support to those candidates because the democrats certainly want to flip the senate as well as the white house it is amazing what we've got but north carolina georgia texas but. maybe it will be

next week. so museum is going on the story for us tonight in washington so we've always think you were. are the days almost done the conversation continues online to find us on twitter either d.w. news or you can follow me at brant go off t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody.

the us election a vote for free trade well that's our topic today do you remember what the world felt like 4 years ago in autumn 2016 europe had just started to come to terms with britain's brics referendum yes 4 years ago and the bookmark makers they got it all wrong back then and they also got it wrong with predicting the outcome of the us election hillary clinton did not become the president of the united states well i don't know if the polls are right this year but i do know that for the global economy right now a lot is at stake. the u.s. election is just days away the outcome will impact global trade. the question is how a quarter of old jobs in germany depend on export industries. cannot. overstate the importance of the transatlantic relationship it's really without

alternative. zana borg an inch tall being the varia makes material handlers and cranes annual sales a 420000000 euro news in 2018. doesn't it all this is a telescopic crawl a crane we sell cranes like this to the united states 2 north america is now our 2nd largest market off to germany europe and eastern europe. the company relies on its sales to the u.s. but says c.e.o. at a center the u.s. also relies on his company's products. for example cranes to load exports and unload imports. oh we've been and continue to be an essential business in america i thought products once operational entire factories could grind to a halt. gemini in the u.s.

have long been important trading partners but tensions have been rising in recent years rivals abas and boeing accuse each other receiving illegal state subsidies there has been mounting criticism of german car exposed to the u.s. e.u. countries one big tech companies to pay more tax and most digital giants are american. supposed to laurie heads the german division of u.p.s. he also heads the american chamber of commerce in germany in that role he seeks to stick clear political fights and smooth any ruffled feathers. you know if you get outside of washington d.c. and you go out where you know most people live and work. business in the u.s. in business in germany in europe are very interested in each other's markets our job is to ignore politics as much as we can we're not political. our job is to find

ways for our members to successfully pursue their business activities and hopefully expand grow them create jobs and encourage trade here in the union is also pro trade but the competition commission says there is a plain meaning to regulate the u.s. digital giants a proper european approach would be to say you're more than welcome to be successful but the thing is with success comes responsibility and this is the face that we're in now to say well you have to recognize that you have powers beyond anyone else and with that comes the responsibility tariffs the one way to exert pressure by making impulse more expensive the u.s. . tariffs on steel wine and jam. b. e.u. on corn cranes and jeans. tariffs and our view are just not helpful and they don't really achieve what you

want them to achieve there's one thing that they always achieve and that is higher prices for the consumer so damage is done to one's own country in that sense what disposal are you think of the positions on trade of the 2 candidates for the u.s. presidency. between president trump and candidate by the. it's a little hard to tell i mean both of them have made statements that we find very. wrong quite frankly. neither has come out with a firm commitment to the importance of the transatlantic relationship and the value of trade and so i think we need to get away a little bit from the emotions that are packed into the word globalization and really recognize how many jobs are created how many families are supported how much tax revenue is generated and then i think anyone really looking at this calmly

would say ok let's get out and do everything we can for this relationship the trade wall between the u.s. and china is also having an impact on europe it's caused shifts and currency exchange rates and made european exports more expensive in asia so charmed told biden does the german entrepreneur spend a bulletin have a preference. by. whether it's trump or biden only government we have to deal with politicians of all stripes. goldman. economy creates its own laws. it's the economy that makes the well time. of dos was that i ever developed is. despite all the tariffs and arguments the united states and europe still do billions in bilateral trade every year. after 4 years in office everyone in the world has his or her own view off donald

trump some think he's doing great they like his style of us war he's dangerous and pointed to several cases of misconduct perhaps even criminal misconduct from his much debate ties to the kremlin to substantial funding from germany's biggest bank did all the u.s. court op with u.s. journalist david who believes that vast loans from deutsche bank and able to trump to appeal rich and successful which ultimately helped him win the presidency. donald trump and daughter. relationship. and one that financial journalist david enrich has described in detail in his recent book dark tower. the bank has lent him over $2000000000.00 over the past 20 years money and rich sense that allowed donald trump to maintain his image as a successful real estate tycoon an image that paved his way to the white house.

let's dive right into it how much money to donald trump bank as far as we know he currently owes deutsche bank about $300000000.00 and then on top of that $300000000.00 you have the cushion or family which is obviously the extended family of the trumps now thanks to the marriage of jared and ivanka and they have borrowed hundreds of millions of dollars more from deutsche bank so all told there are certainly more than half a $1000000000.00 in outstanding debt from the questioners and the trumps to do it about you right in your book that without arch a bank donald trump would never have become president how in. porton was the money that deutsche bank lent him for him becoming president i think it was indispensable trump his entire basis for running for president and i think being elected president in 2016 with he was a very successful businessman and the more evidence that becomes public and the

journalists gather the more we see that that really was a mirage he was not a successful businessman he was a money losing business man and he had a very well established track record of defaulting on loans having his businesses declare bankruptcy and violating contracts what would it mean if the president of the united states defaulted on half a $1000000000.00 of loans he personally guaranteed the overwhelming majority of those loans and so that means that the bank has a right to go for what money is in his bank account he has millions of dollars in various bank accounts in cash and in stocks and bonds the bank can go after that they can go after trump tower they go after mar-a lago this is go after his plane and would they do that to the president of the united states take away basically all his belonging i don't know what they might do what i can tell you definitively is that since the morning of november 9th 2016 when donald trump had been elected the next president of the united states diligent bank executives in frankfurt in

london and new york have been freaking out about this this scenario and trying to figure out whether there's a way to amend it the wording of the contract so that trump is no longer personally guaranteeing them and it's been very clear to them for almost 4 years now that they have a very serious problem on their hands there are those who say that maybe lending money to dollar wasn't such a big risk for the chip bank after all because those loans might have been guaranteed by russian individuals or entities there any evidence that you found that would prove that i have not found any evidence that russia or russian banks. russian individuals in any way provided a guarantee or any financial backing to trump through deutsche bank my hunch is that this is a conspiracy theory what is too though and you write that in your book is that darts a bank has helped the cushion a family with funneling their money through russia over to russia so what exactly

happened there there was money moving out of cushion or accounts being wired to russian individuals why would the cushion a company send money to russian individuals do you think that had anything to do with the russian meddling in the 2016 election is that a pay off i don't know i doubt it but i don't know it's a mystery if we were ever to really get a clear on vernon view of what had actually been going on inside which bank and going on inside donald trump's account at deutsche bank and there would be still quite a few surprises in there. now it would also come as a surprise i'll be a welcome one if u.s. policymakers could finally agree on a much needed fiscal stimulus plan to help the basket us economy deal with the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic unemployment reached record highs over the

summer now for many this is not of the fust economic challenge i 10 around for example have long swapped a permanent address to live in mobile homes and travel from job to job report on of us went to kentucky to find out more. the recreational vehicle the r.v. a symbol of freedom. homeless wherever you take it and we're overwork may take you. i mean more things can talk you know which is not exactly known as a tourist destination but home to where homes of online retailer amazon and that attracts an increasing number of employees who come to find work but choose to live in their camper vans all year round. a campground near the yama zone where houses sold to around a dozen were a camp purse. it's 2 pm time to get up for robert barker he works the night shift

good morning. good morning good morning robert how you do and good how was your shift it was great ok yeah easy money man you know basically robert you have your whole life inside that van yeah i've been living in my van for 6 years now. working seasonal work for amazon and i've done some also i've worked a job in alaska salmon cannery have work to be hard. but it's been really good to me and it's really easy money and allows me the freedom to do what i want to. like many work campers robert parker lives a modest life with few frills his kitchen an outdoor microwave and a picnic table. kind of one time here i may think i'm.

even curry right. robards lifestyle saves him $2000.00 a month he says money he uses later to travel robert is $46.00 he has no partner no children and very few expenses. amazon pace's campsite his health insurance and $15.00 an hour when he works managing customer returns it's a temporary contract for a couple of months. the key to doing it right is you can't have. $400.00 car payment or or you know. debt. debt free. and. i have like $30.00 in bills a month and that's how are they able to do it. 5 30 in the evening for robert it's time to go to work. amazon refuses to give me permission to film but the online

trader is actively seeking work campers and 26 campgrounds across the u.s. . more financial security but you have to hit the road to get it perhaps not everyone's dream but it seems to work for some. in a lot of criticism of on amazon and concern about what the growing offline trade industry would mean for work environments of the united states but one thing seems to be clear that all the work campers in kentucky apply and helping with the lifestyle they chose. from happy campus in the u.s. to a geopolitical palate game between the u.s. russia and germany over a gasp.
