this is g.w. news live from berlin election eve in the united states dealt with trump and joe by making their final pitches to the voters but less than 24 hours until the vote both candidates are campaigning in several swing states nearly 100000000 americans have already cast their ballots turnout could be the highest in a century also coming up germany's chancellor defends her country's new coronavirus restrictions known as locked their own light i'm going to go urging people to follow the rules to protect the health system the number of coded 1000 patients in

intensive care has doubled in just 10 days and rescued from the rubble 3 days after an earthquake rocked the turkish city of is near a 3 year old girl is pulled alive from the wreckage. i'm going to go off to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states into all of you around the world welcome and we begin with some breaking news there are reports of a major security incidents in the austrian capital the end up local media reporting that shots were fired at a synagogue in the city center the police say there are casualties and they have warned people to remain indoors they have also asked the public not to post any information online that could indeed. injure their officers and we will try to get

the latest information from vienna to you as soon as it is available. where tonight u.s. president donald trump and his challenger joe biden are making their final pitches to voters with election day now just hours away trump is making a whistle stop tour of 4 swing states in fayetteville north carolina the president said that he will win again despite what he calls the fake hones predicting his defeat trump's kept a schedule over the past 2 days appearing nonstop at campaign rallies joe biden is sticking to a much more low key approach focusing on ohio in pennsylvania for the final hours of the race he's told voters that it is time to end the chaos of the past 4 years. are joining me now is our washington bureau chief in his poll on this election eve good evening to you it is so the numbers are impressive right 96000000 people have

already cast their vote so how much of a difference then can this last minute campaigning really make right for them this is actually 70 percent of the total vote in $10.00 to $16.00 so one could indeed i think it wouldn't matter so much anymore but we have to keep in mind that it could be a couple of 1000 votes which might decide the outcome of this election because of the specific electoral system here in the united states to remember ourselves in the year 2000 that came down to only 500 votes in florida which finally decided the elections and 4 years ago donald trump won the important thing said of pennsylvania of this only 45000 votes and so every literally every one would conference and what about the political parties in his me what are we seeing what are they doing to try to ensure that we have outcome that we can talk about on tuesday night.

well there is an expectation that whoever is declared the victor of that very night the other party will dispute the outcome to give our international audience a little bit of context in key swing states in the midwest and many pollsters have said that when the results come in trouble might look ahead early because many of the republican voters will be voting in person when mail in ballots are counted later that lead will quickly dwindle and even show that fight in might be in fact the winner so the concern for democrats is that the president might claim victory before all the votes are counted and which could indeed lead to confusion and disinformation to run wild so if this is the case we might have to prepare for not only a violent even thing but violent days to come really have to doesn't happen but we

are looking at a possibility of vote counting lasting longer than into tuesday night i mean hell why do we think we're going to have to wait. right brian so for voters and actually also viewers who are hoping to know who the next president will be by tomorrow night or even early wednesday morning i think we will most likely not have any result and they might be disappointed the results of this election hangs on only a very few states and with so much of the electorate deciding to use mail in ballot ing people are going to have to be patient because i mean i was in millions of pellets will be counted and. only on top of the states has elected to vote in person tomorrow i die and i'm sure it's going to take a lot of time a lot of manpower actually to sweep through these millions of men and mail in

ballots even if these people are working on 24 hour shifts so be prepared for a long time before we will finally know who the next president of the united states will be that's right i think everyone's patience will definitely be trusted in the next 24 to 48 hours that is for sure in this poll in the storyboards in washington thank you. oh yes we'll be on that swing state of florida on election night the state has seen razor thin margins between winners and losers in the west 2 elections president trump is hoping support from latino voters will boost him to victory they are w.'s currently neutral more reports tonight from florida on hell the president's republican party is appealing to cuban americans. they want to see donald trump stay in the white house and they're determined to deliver florida for him it's a must win state for the presidency even at this scale back democrat rally in

orlando the triumph waters are higher louder. trump has strong support from a large part of the latino community here in florida is despite things which would seem almost designed to put latinos off like the harsh words he has used to describe immigrants i'm here to find out why the hispanic vote leans more republican here in florida nearly a 3rd of the latino voters in florida have cuban roots including betty got covered on maurice had of latinos for trump in orlando she was 15 when her family fled cuba after losing everything to the government of fidel castro they just knock one day at the door and they said this is ours now we had lost everything you know we had lost our beautiful hall. the ranch the chauffeur but we had

a different life and you adopt. that's why voting is so important to me because it's the gift that this country has given me that i didn't have they took away. one of her biggest fears like many other cuban americans is the idea that the system they fled could be adopted in the united states no i don't think joe biden is a socialist or a communist but i do believe the people around him are and they have the same socialist ideas that i've lived through in cuba and i've seen in venezuela so yes i do believe that he's surrounded with that and a leader is as good as the people around them being pro trump is slowly becoming something to presidents supporters keep to themselves because there can be consequences mike or plumber is also a devoted trump support i have received you will say i have. 0 right.

for your press you know let me throw up a list of what i was he says you're not appropriate and there's no war because you don't want to do the job you were trying choice already provided for just to do the job because that's a really good word. it's not just a fear of socialism driving support for trump. many latino voters are catholic and support the republican position against abortion and it may seem counter intuitive but many also supports trump's hard line on immigration even from latin american countries. trying to tell the truth i don't want other hispanics to come into the u.s. even if they are from my country peru if they don't pay taxes that is not fair so if more hispanics come and dump a taxes they seal and live off the money they get from the government then i'm a racist too and i also say get out it's not fair that those that come through the border border illegally obtain

a call you already $10000.00 to come here and we don't know who they are they could be rapists here in florida support for president trump and the republicans steeply emotional. if that support is reflected at the ballot box it could decide the election i want to take you back to our breaking news now reports of a shooting at a synagogue in vienna i want to go now to journalist eve shade he is in vienna good evening to you steve what more can you tell us. while we're trying to put together some information now what we are hearing is that an attacker apparently wearing a bomb vest approached and attacked a police guard who was outside the synagogue we're hearing that the guard was shot and wounded possibly fatally wounded there are also unconfirmed reports that the assailant actually detonated the bomb vest now here's where it gets a big confusing there are are also reportedly other assailants who are on the run

there's a huge security operation going on from where i'm sitting i have a view towards central vienna and i can see helicopters in the sky above the area where the synagogue is located so a huge security lockdown taking place there right now and a warning is going out of course of the jewish community many of the people in the jewish community live right in that area they're being told to stay home and stay safe what was steve has there been any heightened security alerts there in vienna for the jewish community or does this does this attack appear to come out of nowhere. i would say it appears to come out of nowhere there how of course been tensions as we know from france. between the muslim community and we've seen the attacks recently in nice on the on the no to don cathedral there

but there was no hint there warning that that there were animosities brewing between the jewish community and anybody else this appears to be a random attack and we'll be finding out much more in the in the minutes and hours to come ok journalist steve stay there with the latest on this attack at the synagogue in vienna thank you. we're here in germany chancellor angela merkel is urging people to abide by new restrictions to slow a rapid increase in coded 19 infections beginning today restaurants and bars will be closed for a month the chancellor told a news conference today that measures are necessary to prevent germany's health care system from being over whelmed the country has recently seen a surge coated 1000 patients in intensive care i went start to germany's new partial lockdown. early morning in berlin as cool children have to

class they are some of the few whose routine won't change that much with the new measures the new restrictions on effect shops schools or day cares the german government says it will prioritize children's education something it says is better achieved with in person lessons. what does appear different is the street usually bustling with tourists and locals now quiet and empty its many bars and cafes have to shut down and can only offer takeout. german chancellor angela merkel acknowledged that the new measures are hard but said that they are necessary to limit social contacts and bring the pandemic back under control. those who do it and of course this means that for the next 4 weeks will have to go without a lot of the things that make life worthwhile and we all know that the state premiers as well as we in the government we spent a long time considering whether there was a better or moderate way but we did not see one that's why with heavy hearts we

decided on these measures and. the government has also urged those who can to work from home and asked employers to facilitate the transition with more people staying home fewer commuters should crowd trains and buses. at lunch time clients lined up outside restaurants not to wait for a table but to order takeout a buffer for many restaurant owners but not enough to make up for the lost income. this is really a service to customers but it's not much more than that i assume that i will have to accept some losses this month in. a difficult november lies ahead the hope now for germans is that the next 4 weeks will be enough to curb the spread of the virus. more on this i'm joined now by our

political correspondent and you know kind of like an evening to you and you we understand that this press conference today was called with very very short notice which is unusual for the chancellor what does that tell us about the current situation here in germany. this press conference was absolutely out of the ordinary bread and usually i'm going i'm actually comes to this venue to meet the press once a year for the summer press conference all the other press conferences are at the chancellery so with only a few warning this was really unusual and 1st of all it shows a deep concern off the chancellor for the situation in germany the numbness the infection numbers have been on the rise here yes and other countries and you know and the growth has become exponential this is what worries underline magill and advices this is why she said we now have to take as tax and not

a little bit of this and a little bit of that and variations of measures we already had implemented before and she said it's not the time for ha ha's it's hands because the virus punishes how heartedness so at the core of all this is that there is the reduction of contact with it and restaurants for sports clubs on the edges and when i click on if it's not unfit to leave shops in business but take restaurants out of business she said she wanted to try it with this slightly softer approach and made it very clear that it's either that this partial lockdown will everything. she and she made it clear today that we're looking very lowly november but that may have to be the price if we don't want to have a lonely december and a lonely christmas do you think people are buying.

a survey off last week showed that the majority of people in germany are quite content with this and about a 3rd of people and that they would appreciate an even tougher stance which we become that which we get now and 90 percent said they were depreciates mandatory face mosques and what areas and indeed if you go out in the streets in berlin you can see more people wearing face masks in the areas where it is not required but the chance to notice that people who don't follow her people who get tired and so she said everybody is in there everybody is responsible we have to pull through all together and she said the light at the end of the tunnel is still very far away yeah very sobering words there wus on your collar with the latest headlines here in

berlin and you thank you. this take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world to tanzania an opposition leader to lease who has been released after a brief detention by police that's according to his child dame apartment earlier on monday police failed a planned protest against last week's election which the opposition say was rigged several other high ranking members of the opposition have been taken into custody at least 22 people have been killed after government stormed kabul university during an iranian bookfair officials from iran in afghanistan had been expected to attend witnesses say the attackers targeted students the islamic state militant group has claimed responsibility hollywood star johnny depp has lost his libel battle with the british tabloid the sun the actor sued the newspaper after it described him as a quote wife beater in his ruling the judge found the tabloid report to be substantially true and that depp had been physically abusive towards his ex-wife

amber heard on 12 separate occasions. rescue workers have pulled 2 girls from collapsed buildings in the turkish province of is mia a 3 year old was brought to safety nearly 3 days after a strong earthquake struck the region a 14 year old was freed hours earlier but hopes of finding others there fading now the quake killed dozens of people and injured hundreds. of us 3 years old and nearly 3 days under the rubble. one. of the firefighters who got young and the 30 inject out from her collapsed house said her rescue was a miracle. if when i saw a leaf lying on her back she was between her bed and the closet i stretched out my hands to clean her face and she grabbed my finger and opened her eyes at this the

throat because right before that moment i had asked my team for a blanket and a body bag while looking at a leaf is a tiny little kid. it's been a rare piece of good news in the aftermath of the quake it struck friday below the aegean sea off the turkish coast it triggered a small tsunami which inundated streets on the greek island of samaras while tremors also cause widespread damage. that hundreds of families now homeless are living in tents they described scenes of terror and deprivation to d.w. . doctor to be killed everything in the house was falling on me and i knew i couldn't stand on writers should i thought i was going to die right there there was nothing we could do. i couldn't get out after the shaking start. it was a terrible feeling. now. you do need to see the tents get

fairly cold at night i hope life will return to normal as soon as possible god bless us all an unlucky day when i go home to get necessities i still feel the aftershocks in the money because of the cuts that i'm not being given by. turkish police have arrested several people as part of an investigation into why dozens of buildings were so heavily damaged. a huge cleanup is underway in the philippines after it was hit by typhoon goli over the we get at least 20 people were killed tens of thousands of homes damaged or destroyed the worst hit areas have been left without communications and electricity and the army has appealed for more troops to assist the relief operation. for a country hit on average 20 times each year by typhoon goni was the most powerful to strike the philippines this year. rooftops were torn

away debris flying everywhere as water rushed in one from the sea or downhill from mountainsides. wind gusts reached above 300 kilometers per hour and in some towns the red cross said up to 80 percent of the homes were destroyed. goni rivaled typhoon haiyan which in 2013 killed more than 6000 people. but this time there were warnings and preparation. and mass evacuations. are now evacuated because it's better to be safe since i can't walk i'd have to crawl to get out but if i could walk i prefer to stay in our place. even my i'm afraid because my mother's house is already weak and was about to get crushed. the early warnings and preparations put coast guard and other emergency rescuers in

position to help residents stranded by rising floodwaters. the storm at one point was one of the most powerful ever recorded but its strength dissipated as it moved across the island of luzon home to more than 2000000 people accounting for 2 thirds of the filipino economy $50000.00 homes here were without power as goni moved out to the south china sea. direction vietnam still packing heavy rains. ahead of goni as landfall the country was still reeling from typhoon which killed $22.00 people next up though filipinos already know another storm at sonnie is gaining strength in the pacific ocean as it approaches their country. those who are put into shelters to keep them safe from the last storm wonder if there is even cause to return home before the next. the pandemic

has forced many sporting events to take place behind closed doors no do you have even been postponed like the 2020 tokyo olympics they're scheduled to take place in 2021 and japan is now testing to see how they can make it safe for crowds to return to large scale sporting events a baseball stadium in yokohama was turned into a testing ground for 3 days with 28000 people in attendance. the yokohama base stars have 2 goals to win games and to try to get the upper hand on coronavirus the fact that their stadium was on one day almost 90 percent full is the result of a technological home run and also thanks to almost $28000.00 test subjects. not took quite you feel a bit on easy about it however having a lot of fans certainly helps the players on this one and those who take part in the testing get a 35 percent discount on their tickets as well as having 2 apps kick in the

national corona app is mandatory as is a 2nd one from a private provider which inquires about your health 10 days prior to the game and 14 days after. we stay in contact with the olympic organizers they are very interested in the data we send it to them without names we're doing everything to ensure that the games will take place next year when because it will make up the. monitoring devices are placed in the stands to measure a lot of people a lot of cheering and a lot of carbon dioxide add to that wind intensity and velocity and experts can already figure out where fan density is too high making the dangerous spread of the virus possible and at the stadium crowding is also an issue for washrooms but a digital guide post will show you the way sending you a chat function via infrared waves radio and t.v. all in real time. but you don't and i mean we've installed the guide posts at 39

locations at toilets kiosks and shops so if you have to do something then just look at the map to see where there's a line up and then maybe go to another location. the japanese are very conscientious about wearing face masks however those who may be potential visitors to the olympic games and think they don't have to take part and such measures may still be reminded thanks to a high performance facial recognition system. that in a lot of the news in all our software doesn't just count visitors it also sees how long you stay somewhere and whether you're wearing a face mask and if you're not security personnel could be alerted all the status serves to lower the risk of the spread of coronavirus are those that you'd see that i do. they say the technology is reliable that just might make the olympics doable despite the pandemic at this stadium medals will also be up for grabs and baseball and softball and just thinking of that really inspires the fans. in
