seems to be a deeply divided and polarized country. now before today's attack president michel was already facing a backlash across the muslim world for his recent comments about islam that anger was sparked by his defense of cartoons mocking the muslim prophet mohammad today that were fresh protests in several countries against a french president. it should be a day of celebration but this year the prophet mohammed's birthday was on the shadowed by anger. in the midst of celebrations held to commemorate the birth of the prophet peace be upon him every muslim must express their disdain and condemn what the evil man mccrone has done. he has insulted the prophet and insulted what we consider a holy and sacred of the 13 our home. from iran to mali to

pakistan muslims around the world took part in demonstrations against the french president many cold for a man who cruncher attract recent statements while others demanded an immediate boycott of anything to do with france. we should boycott everything from france the french ambassador should be expelled from pakistan and the leaders should recall the pakistani ambassador to france all relations with france should end. the protests was sparked by macross defense of a friend. teacher who was murdered after showing controversial cartoons of the prophet to his students mccrone called islam a religion in crisis. and this has nothing to do with freedom. politics should have nothing to do with religion why would mccrum support cartoons that offend the prophet. not be

a position taken by any president the president must at the very least not insult any religion. despite widespread condemnation in the muslim world the french government has defended free speech and the right to publish religious caricature. let's now take a look at some other stories making news around the world israelis have marked the 25th anniversary of the assassination of prime minister yitzhak rabin 25000 candles were lit in the central tel aviv square that bears his name and where he was shot by intuition extremists for his attempts to pursue peace with the palestinians. at least prisoners have been killed and 12 wounded in a prison riot and afghanistan officials say violence erupted in the city of hair out after guards began collecting what they called quote unnecessary items in the possession of the inmates. at least $140.00 migrants have drowned

off the coast of senegal according to the un's migration agency a europe boat caught fire and capsized several hours after leaving the town of endure 60 people were rescued by navy vessels from senegal and spain. german chancellor angela merkel has defended the latest round of coronavirus restrictions as the country prepares to go back into a limited locked out addressing parliament merkel said it was currently impossible to trace the origin of all new infections hampering efforts to contain the virus she faced frequent interruptions of the opposition have called the measures excessive and inappropriate. empty restaurants and bars no museums no theaters these images are actually from the 1st wave of the pandemic but in november germans will have to get used to them again as coronavirus cases rise

chancellor angela merkel announced sweeping new restrictions the main difference this time is that schools and many shops will remain open on thursday michael defended the new policy in a key speech before the german parliament. the condom use good news man to make throws the spotlight on a word which is part of our most essential vocabulary freedom the meaning of this word is now very concrete because the measures agreed by the government and federal states in the spring and yesterday restrict our freedom. actually the same time we can understand that freedom does not mean everybody does what they want especially now freedom means responsibility i'm called to do that thank you and responsibility for ourselves our families our colleagues and for all of us. merkel was constantly interrupted. and the parliament speaker saw himself forced to

call for order the biggest a position party in the bundestag the far right and he was quick to slam the measures given we consider the paralysis of the cultural industry the hospitality industry and practically the entire social life as announced by mrs merkel to be excessive and you know appropriate. now one of the big questions is the financial impact of these restrictions the german government has promised economic support for businesses that are particularly hard hit. the companies concerned we would be entitled to some refund. of. course and this is an important step to make it possible for most for the overwhelming majority of the companies concerned to survive. and there's also the issue with the citizens will actually comply with these new

measures. i know it's called on the one hand certain i almost have tears in my eyes but on the other hand i think the measure is correct i can only support it with you know here i don't think it's going to be that i do think it's good it's necessary and i have no problem with this unfortunate. the role of our government is to protect our lives before we're people. i think so i think i agree yeah. so far the german government has enjoyed high levels of support during the pandemic but now the question is whether coronavirus pity will set in with a partial meltdown. the pandemic has affected all walks of life and europe for young people it's changing the meaning of well youth parties are mainly out meetings with friends are strictly regulated sports tournaments and class trips cancelled here's a closer look at how the pandemic is reshaping life for europe's yeah. lucienne

is 16 years old and lives in cynthia spain her life has changed dramatically at her school in person learning only takes place in small groups the rest is all mine said emma who we used to meet more people now i just go around in a small group of friends we used to go to the movies but we don't do it now because of the risk we used to go everywhere by bus now i only walk everything has changed everything's harder now still she says she understands why the rules are in place we do have grandparents and older people in the family that's why i don't think the measures go too far there are something good that lives in the polish capital warsaw pandemics constant stress and worry as well as social isolation have taken a toll. i suddenly had symptoms of anxiety disorders and develop tics and quaint uses have told me that they have psychological problems and anxiety from the constant uncertainty. just like you and it became out of. politics are

a big interest last summer's presidential race not get involved in l g b t activism that helped. just been very appropriate my sense of activism was a real one can because of the pandemic and that's a great thing there were presidential elections during the pandemic and there was so much hatred directed at people. tara is 18 and lives in london and is also finishing school she wants to go to a highly selective theater academy she's driving the fall and winter months. you can't just meet each other outside anymore because it's so much colder and we can go to those houses and i think i really miss seeing my friends. and i know it sounds like. i'm not going to be able to see my granny at christmas and my family are going to be able to go and visit she's going to be on her own and so it's just all these different things that just make it such a rubbish thing to do. she says the government doesn't have young people's mental

health in mind when it makes decisions as you know if the government just the right let's just shut everything off that makes young people happy and gives them like things to enjoy things to escape from their lives from you know parties and just have a bit of fun which is what makes being i think a young person so fun fun parties and ventures simply sitting in a full classroom its own out of reach during this time of isolation with no end in sight yet for young people. it's fair watching d.w. news and by land up next as anything like a junior with africa before we go we want to show you what the tail end of a hurricane looks like take a look at these gigantic waves arriving at a world famous surf spot nazare and northern portugal is a surfing happen but sometimes it's like hell well if you enjoy it from

culture. not a visitor not a yes you want to become a citizen. in for migrants your platform for reliable information. this is the end of news africa coming up in the program we're calling it the matter of life on the debt there are droll u.s. funding for abortion has left many women and girls in kenya in a difficult sometimes dangerous of the ways that you hear from some people who opened up 1st then trumps these an office on mount it. also coming up. you need a ride just hop in but this time it would not be your regular drive out of wheels as a new start in service in uganda threats from dr one day. the

name is eddie michael jr welcome to the program the impact of next week's presidential election in the united states will also be felt in africa in kenya and other sub-saharan countries do not trams decision in 2017 to reinstate a ban on funding for abortion has impacted the lives of millions of women and girls the move has left some health care services hanging on by a thread and desperate for change as they see women dying from unsafe abortions did abuse reports from nairobi for frieda kansi getting pregnant was a disaster she was studying at a secretarial college the bright future she was working for suddenly seemed threatened when i knew i was pregnant i had no options in lit it was.

just thinking of. no this. was thinking that. i'm going. to end. her lucky break she was referred to the no my clinic she underwent an abortion and now feels she has control thanks to contraceptive implants. plus the pregnancy to distract made it. my bed instead of the whole list. of things in my future but the clinic and the threat decisions made a world away from here slashed its funding us president donald trump reinstated the mexico city policy restricting funding for going to his ations which provide abortions or anything related to them it made life in many towns like here in the

indian the kenyan caused more dangerous for women and girls. we used to provide free probably planning free information we had on it would provide family friendly today because we don't get them anymore for free this affects the most because as they report when they're pregnant when they're not ready for their pregnancies so this forces some of them to deliver or for the how safe abortion. runs they've been all my clinic that helped free down the cuts forced her to cancel an outreach program helping 15000 other girls and women in rural areas that help had included cancer screenings and age i.v. treatment she dips into our own personal finances so that what is left can keep running a priority is to protect girls and women from unsafe abortions. if i don't do

the i'm afraid the mets live the next possible to do it the whole way that close in that store and. the threat of financial punishment for having anything to do with abortions is affecting kenya's national health policies says county reproductive health coordinator kenneth miller easy reading in mind that our constitution gives to be presidents to secure the productive we have decided to do not falling off the institution because of fear. the choice of the u.s. president not only decide whether kenya can follow its constitution says the man who ends up sitting in the white house could mean life or death for patients who would wish the somebody sits on their seat somebody understand is a human being in need that fly and that this is a human being done simply because there's no information given to her why is this

by certain deaths on that. didn't really sure of a god is going to have the information and they're going to be great lawyers great doctors great is in the future because they will have information to prolong their life. let's find out more from our correspondents who sent our stock reports hello my we are can you tell us more about the effect of the u.s. policy on kenya. yes so when donald trump became president in 2017 he not only reinstated the mexico city policy but he extended it significantly so that was not only family planning funding affect that which was already 500 $17000000.00 it was up to $9000000000.00 the effect it now of global health assistance money that was you know missing and countries all over the world so that means child and maternal health treatment and prevention of hiv to the

closest malaria and several other infectious diseases and also a nutrition and sanitation programs where affected so it had a huge impact on people on the ground and that also means that health care workers like caffeine and our team they were not able to reach you know villages which were up to 100 kilometers away sometimes in the villages they say well if we don't get the services then we look for solutions on our own and these solutions are mostly unsafe solutions so a recent study actually showed that during the time that the mexico city policy was in effect in the past that there was an increase of abortions of up to 40 percent and these abortions most of the time unsafe abortions and that means an increase of death cases. fortunately i mean this is seen that you come up with all your eggs in one basket the alternative funding or what you need to study comes you go explore.

so concerning for example a clinic she's part of a wider network of reproductive health facilities and they last were up to $1000000.00 u.s. dollars per year funding so there were foreign countries european countries that stepped in that tried to fill that gap but it was only less than half actually a quarter of the funding that was there with and also for a very specific and limited time period so that means that they had to find other solutions and for example and i know from other facilities as well that they chipped in with their own private money that they had you know doctors and health workers lost their jobs so they also still buy reproductive. contraceptives and medicine and they still try to give it cheaper but most of the times it's also not possible some clinics also had to close so that's actually a problem for for these facilities. what is the government's plan to ensure

a woman's rights to abortion is protected if. the. u.s. elections. so yes so i talked to the reproductive and house coordinator of the county there where we were filming and he told me well this actually and no plan for that i mean like no plan change actually so they expect the situation to get worse at least to stay the same or even get worse so he also told me of you know of cases on the ground where you know women have actually the right constitutional right to get a safe abortion so if they come to a government run facility or to a hospital for example and they procured an unsafe abortion and then die and you don't help they die in the waiting room sometimes he told me in these cases not rare cases because doctors and health care workers too scared to afraid to treat them because they are afraid that their funding might be cut as well.

correspondents in kenya thank you very much. let's turn our attention to some of the stories making headlines across the continent. running you know. that elections held last friday's ahead of sorts of those tensions are running high in the west african country since 1st and. it lead you would rather for an unexpected. at least that's it people have been killed in talk communal clashes. main opposition presidential candidate to lose who says he will not recognize the outcome of this weed selection as the vote had been mobbed by irregularities human rights activists have warned the country and the president to join michael fully for sliding towards an autocratic rule. to terrorists have been sentenced to death for killing more than a dozen people in the attacks on the hotel on the restaurant in mali in 2015.

women have been trained in self-defense they also all carry pepper spray and know how to use it if needed. this driver a mother of 3 like so many others here lost her job as an accountant at the beginning of the pandemic she's glad she found taxi to. be safer ticket because you keep hearing what you need to for me to so and and and so if i meet. yannis it'll give him great. women's employment in developing countries is hit much harder than men in the pandemic international labor organization says taxi divas believes women need and want the opportunity much more than men plus they're more reliable the found argues well it is extremely hard working very motivated and they like their sense of pride when they're doing this work they do it one bit. and

that's the difference we have details. but most importantly the women drivers make a difference to the customers i am more safe being given personally this is a gender issue i feel safe being driven by but also because. the way that they are careful wade while driving. is amazing. what started as a joke amongst a group of women friends affected by the coronavirus lockdown has grown into a successful startup that by now employs more than 70 women and uganda's capital kampala. i'm pretty sure i'll feel safe with a woman driver. about how we wrap up this show if you want to check out more stories just go to our website

our financial correspondent yes yan's are you there yes you are now it's a record breaking surge but coming after a huge fall how should we interpret these numbers really are. well i mean the numbers are strong and yes we did see quite a comeback specially in the summer months when u.s. consumers started to spend more about this 33 percent well i guess we have to explain this because the americans have a special way of getting their g.d.p. numbers that's on an annualized basis so meaning if growth continues for an entire year like that then on an annual basis you would have that growth of sorties 3 percent but that is not very likely most other countries actually look at g.d.p. quarter by quarter and in that respect the u.s. economy grew at about 7 and a half percent what is still good but we're still about 3 and a half percent away from where the u.s.

economy stood before the pandemic started to spread in the u.s. now that some valuable contacts but stay there younes cuz we've got more to discuss and that is because the big 4 u.s. tech giants apple facebook facebook google parent alphabet and amazon were big winners and the 3rd quarter with revenue and earnings turbocharged by lockdowns around the world out will comfortably beat analysts earnings forecasts but shares fell because i phone sales were lower than expected income from cloud computing offerings and from its google play shop filled the 42 percent jump in alphabet revenue to $46200000000.00 and alice songs 3rd quarter profits tripled from a year ago on strong retail sales during the pandemic. and we're back with the end score to now yes it was quite expected that there was big for tech companies that would post strong numbers but did anything stand out in particular. definitely overall amazon and

apple facebook and alphabet those 4 companies have a market value of more than 5 trillion dollars so you can imagine how important those figures are for the economy and also for the stock market if you look at alphabet stock that is up by a good 7 percent picture perfect water especially was at gains at google or old so it was a mutual on the other side we see quite a drop in the after hours session with apple the stock down by a good 4 percent well i mean has cash at 10 now by more than $190000000000.00 good numbers overall but the revenue of i've fallen so we're a bit shy little bit less than expected and as the company a company and the stock has been on fire all year long if not everything is picture perfect then you will see the negative reaction on wall street on top also apple
