supreme court which leaned heavily to the right after he failed 3 of the seats with conservative justices. we think there's going to be a lot of litigation as we have so much evidence so much proof and it's going to end up perhaps at the highest court in the lead the president left the podium to a barrage of questions from reporters. why are you why people up about that money found a lot of the known. on the streets trump supporters echoed his baseless claims that everything is done a legitimate leader fairly and truthfully is already days already but they're just calling it so they try to steal it more and more fake violence biden took to the stage with a very different message so we have no doubt that when the count is true the senator harris and i will be declared the winners so i ask everyone to stay calm
6:08 pm

region forecasters expect to regain strength as it crosses the caribbean this weekend. and we will of course bring you the latest developments in the u.s. election as they come now to europe where governments are battling to contain a 2nd wave of corona virus infections here in germany the health minister says the system could soon be overwhelmed if the covert caseload is not brought under control new infections have topped 20000 for the 1st time. a new summer record for germany the highest number of 1000 cases ever registered in the country germany is in its 1st week of a new partial lockdown restaurants bars and leisure activities are shut down travel for tourism is strongly discouraged while shops and schools are allowed to stay open. germany's health minister yes spahn said the country's health care system is
6:11 pm
not currently overwhelmed but hard times are ahead if the rise in cases isn't stopped. the situation is serious the number of people requiring support in intensive care units has doubled in the past 10 days from as of today our health system is still coping but even the best system in the world cannot cope with a doubling every 10 days. after the growth rate is very strong and we must break it together on the. patient. he even germany's extensive testing capacity is under pressure let's say they are struggling to keep up with demand but there is confidence that the current shutdown will help bring the number of cases back down the numbers that we see today or affect the situation a week ago because we have been conditioned period the numbers are slightly improved we have to be optimistic because the reproduction number is below one and
6:12 pm
i think that's the 1st signs that things might get better here in our country in berlin people are taking reports of the record case rise in their stride many say they are learning to live with the virus and the restrictions. we see that even with restrictions in place the numbers still go up we just try to live with it now to cope with the situation i don't think about it any more than usual. pretty shocking you know i think governments in every country are doing the best they can i don't think there's any right or wrong. i would go to people in the vaccines and i certainly believe that would help. next week chancellor angela merkel and the federal state leaders are expected to meet to take stock of the situation and decide whether to introduce tougher restrictions something most here in germany are hoping to avoid. in football german champions

a highly selective theater academy she's driving the fall and the winter months. you can't just meet each other outside anymore because it's so much colder. 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 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. 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 for all. 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
6:20 pm
a full classroom its own out of reach during this time of isolation with no end in sight yet for young people. from berlin's humbled university is a psychologist and works with children and teens can you list us through the most common issues young people are struggling with right now. well there are actually a couple of problems that they are struggling with. one of the most important ones is of course anxiety they are worrying about everything right now their future the virus itself and so forth about and they are also experiencing depressive symptoms they have problems with conflict and families and of course sleeping problems eating problems all this kind of stuff so how's the pandemic amplifying those problems. and well the problem is that depend on itself and of course the there was friction that follow along they increased the stress on children and we know from
6:21 pm
research that stress is one of the main factors for and developing mental health problems and of course now we have this huge stress the richest and the restrictions and it's kind of kind of normal that children youth and it's all experience my mental health problems. even though we do not know if they will have to eventually have a mental disorder or how they will cope in the long term however at the moment we see sort of. double of. children and youth what the term is whether these problems they develop into disorders that. there are a couple of factors. that. have to fire the stress and one of them's most important the background of the children so they are well herbal to stress do they have had had they had any problems before did they have mental disorders before and do they have support and the schools in their social life and
6:22 pm
of course it also depends on the length of the pandemic and the restrictions and we expect them to show increased problems even after the pandemic sort of in the late onset. but we are quite certain that we have a moderate and we have not reached the full height of mental health problems in the endemic is it very much dependent on what sort of parents you have and how they react. well that's that's certainly one factor there and that's been studied in australia when they showed that one of the most important things to and for the development of mental health problems was that over the conflicts in families and of course if the parents are stressed and you have conflict and in the family and that increase the stress on the children so one point in fact is how the parents are coping but there are other factors as well but it's also how that how well the children are involved with their friends how much support do they receive from
6:23 pm
others how well help how much support do they get from a fine example from schools so parents know one thing but not the only one so i guess it's important that the school stay open. yes i'm very happy that right now in germany schools have have been staying open and i hope at this stage that way because what we saw and during the 1st lockdown in many countries there was that children restaurant a lot but the lack of structure during the day with the lack of social contact with of support from that teaches and so i think that this is really run very important thing for and mental health to the schools and all day care facilities opened if it's possible concerning the endemic restrictions sure. how else can we avoid melancholia loneliness or isolation turning into something worse.
6:24 pm
well thing is to be to be to be starting to be a bit more creative and we know that social support is one of the main factors to decrease mental health problems and to decrease stress so of course a lot of people think we need social support from real life interactions but of course we can use digital and digital setups we can try to find positive reinforcement in our everyday life to experience things that are helpful to ask have like little things in life that you enjoy and of course and try to share these with other people so that's one thing how we can try to manage the stress from. them. to decrease stress on the other hand it's also it also depends a lot on the on the perspective that you have when problems and of course you can sort of go into a downward spiral and think about all the things that are bad right now or you can
6:25 pm
try to focus on the nice things during the day just be thankful for one thing at the end of the day i'd rather focus on the nice things to you from berlin somebody university thank you very much for joining us today. thank you. very good advice your questions now on the coronavirus is the science correspondent derrick williams . i'm curious about differences in covert 19 infection rates seen in primary versus secondary schools are there studies on that. there's a real jungle of conflicting data on this topic and pretty much any other question that you can think of that's related to kids and this pandemic so so let's start with what seems at least mostly clear at this point 1st several studies including a few big ones have shown pretty convincingly that infected kids can also transmit the virus to others but the data also looks pretty strong that
6:26 pm
a kids are more likely to get it from adults than the other way around and b. that smaller children in particular so those under 12 or so are a lot less likely to transmit it to others than older children or adults the european center for disease prevention and control has emphasized that unlike with other respiratory diseases there is no evidence that kids are primary drivers of covert 19 outbreaks one of the big problems with trying to compare a primary to secondary school kids to find out how big the differences between them might be is that every study decides what the word child manes on its own one might look at anyone under 18 others might only look at kids in preschool if you want to comprehensive roundup of what we know so far about kids and covert 19 i
6:27 pm
highly recommend looking at what the w.h.o. has published on it it's info pages are connected to a very a very wide range of subjects around the topic everything from what i've talked about here to how closing schools affects children's welfare and you'll also find more studies there on children in covert 19 than you can shake a stick out. to bring you up to date with the latest on her. code infections from more than 200 countries and territories. the numbers show new cases doubling and 39 nations and increasing in another 81 countries have stayed at the same level in 16 countries 61 nations have seen their new positive comp in 1000 cases decline another rate down by a least top and 6 countries have reported no new cases for 4 weeks in
