8:01 am
a large number of civilians have been massacred by local forces plus on the paid and under appreciated nurses, especially those working in intensive care units and carrying right. purdon as a pandemic pushes hospitals around the globe today limits on rebecca riches. thanks for joining us. paris is marking the 5th anniversary of its deadliest terror attacks lighted today the mayor of paris and the french prime minister, a due to pay tribute to the victims at sites around the city. 5 years ago, $130.00 people were killed when so-called islamic state militants launched multiple attacks in the french capital, suicide bombers and gunmen carried out a 4 hour rampage, which also injured hundreds of people. most of the dead were at the battle plan,
8:02 am
concert hall restaurants, cafes and a football stadium were also targeted. the anniversary comes just weeks after a new terror attacks in the country. well, those who survived the assault will have to live with the horrific memory of that night. we talked to, one of them has found a special way to deal with the trauma is our report from paris music as therapy, it got so bad. she threw the worst time of his life. he started writing songs shortly before the batter can attack more. i was terrified after the attack. i was afraid to leave the house to cycle through the city. i felt i had become a target. music helped me get through this. it was my way to express my feelings and what i've experienced when you go through an event like this, precisely because i managed to get out of there shortly after the attack had
8:03 am
started. you think i scape death by a few minutes life grinds to a halt, but then it continues and you think i need to live life to the fullest. said it had gone to the concert with a few friends. they all managed to escape alive. minutes before the 1st shots were fired, took this video. when he understood what was happening, his survival instincts kicked in there were little flashes of light on the war that were moving towards the stage and then the sound of firecrackers. i mediately understood that something was wrong and that those weren't just firecrackers. all i could think about was i had to get out of there. but then the $1000.00 concert goers all threw themselves to the ground, and i got stuck beneath them. but i managed to free myself and make it out of that door. this is the 1st time since the attack that savage
8:04 am
has returned to the battle plan. it's bringing back his trauma, which is still deeply affecting him. also, it's stressing me out to be here. i'm quite anxious now. even nowadays when i go to the cinema or restaurant, i'm concerned about my safety and where the next emergency exit is as to who i am to the 13th of november 25th teen. i thought i lived in a safe country. now i don't believe that anymore because usually abuse the music is helping to heal his ones. but for sadness it's also an affirmation of life. as there was a radical islamists would like to see a society in which we can draw,
8:05 am
make music or sing. they believe that only the prophet has the right to do that. so this is a way of saying, no, i exist, i'm a life, and i want to continue doing what i'm free to do in my country. i do feel that with a spate of recent terror attacks and measures to combat the corona pandemic pressure on those freedoms is mounting the earth, the world. well, those atrocities in paris 5 years ago were carried out by 9. jihadists belonging to the so-called islamic state 7 died at the same 2. others died during a police raid 2 days later. most of the perpetrators were born and grew up in france and belgium. so what led them to become radicalized? we spoke to an expert here in germany to find out what if anything can be done to prevent people turning to violence and extremism. islam ists and right wing
8:06 am
extremists sit side by side at a meeting held in the german state of saxony, unhurt. it was organized by the violence prevention network. their goal is to talk to extremists, not about them. for almost 20 years, thomas mckay has been helping young people extricate themselves from extremist structures. and we try to help people get out of our concept of the strategy of a 1000 years, and we want to starve the extremists of future strength by convincing their youngest members to leave look and his team rely on close personal contact to young adults. right now, their biggest hurdle is covert 19 and social. distancing some of the extremists in their program can no longer be contacted. many of them are in prison. this used to be where de radicalization began, but now visits are not allowed. another problem is social media because of the current partial lockdown, more young people go online,
8:07 am
which makes them more prone to becoming radicalized. this is a whole. i observed that during the pandemic of youth, when the lockdown was known to many people who were isolated began looking for contact and they began exploring social networks. german security authorities currently as to meet the number of extremist agitators to be around $630.00. this is about 5 times what it was in $2111.00 of the main reasons is the so-called islamic state in iraq and syria. the i, as has always recruited europeans, many germans sympathizers, travel to the war zone. when they returned, they were reclassified as potentially violent extremists. and we can stop this by sucking out when we see young people becoming politically radicalized. since you know, after we're shocked by their opinions, we should talk to them instead of going quiet. thomas mccurry reminds us that extremist groups are a normal part of democratic society. he says the solution to the problem of
8:08 am
alienation is to reach out to these young adults, so they don't feel alone. in his program, these young former extremists learn, they can find a place for themselves as fully fledged members of society. and to talk about these prevention strategies, i'm joined by rafael boss song. he's an expert on a new and german security policy at the german institute for international and security affairs. the rest of us all. thanks for joining data. these initiatives, like the one we've just seen in that report, they seem to be helpful. is it enough? well, it's never quite enough in terms of the numbers. we just heard these local initiatives always fighting for funding and there could be more of them and they could get more as institutional support. but yes, in general, i think germany has a lot to offer, and i think it's pretty clear other countries that we should see more initiatives like that. we are present course saying the race and attacks in some countries have
8:09 am
raised the terror threat level. were you surprised by that? well, not really in the sense that of course, the numbers of radical people that are considered to be a threat was high, continued to be high. and that ideology hasn't gone away. and there has been a, sometimes a copycat effect as well. in the pos, so in that sense nobody could be surprised. but i would also not exaggerate the current threat level. we are not where we used to be 5 years ago or even 3 years ago. so the defeat of i as if it remains a fetus has made a difference. but of course, that doesn't mean that we can relax. and in general, of course, the worry is that people who we've been put into jail a couple of years ago because they try to actually went to syria, they have to be released in this period on the next 2 or 3 years. and what to do
8:10 am
about that, and that's the biggest worry for this security service of time. what more needs to be down to prevent further attacks? well of course, as i said, prevention carries spread out more widely, more institutional support, more regular supporters also beyond germany. and as i said, i think germany is comparatively doing well here. but beyond that, of course, we really need to have a consistent policy on monitoring and dealing with those leaving prison. and not all of them by far, the majority of them are not likely to conduct attacks, but of minority is dangerous. so it is difficult to find the right balance here. i think the proposals that have been made by the austrian chancellor were quite far reaching or maybe too far reaching in terms of, you know, electronically surveilling everybody who's leaving prison and potentially locking them up forever. but i think there are steps below that level that shouldn't need
8:11 am
to be taken and prisons while people have been discussing this for years, that they are hot spot, that they are important, have not got the sustained attention and sustained support that they need to manage this fight over the long term. yeah. or i refound all song and expert any even german security policy. thanks very much a spanking to touch about a let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. now, peru's interim president is calling for calm as protests escalate over the abrupt ouster of the country's formulate a man. well, marino took office on choose day after congress voted to remove month vizcaya over bribery allegations. merino has since worn in his new cabinet filling most positions with technocrats the us department of homeland, homeland security says last week's election was quote, the most secure in american history. the statement also said there was no evidence
8:12 am
that any voting system was compromised. president donald trump has filed multiple lawsuits challenging his election defeat to joe biden. official results from the animals alexion show on sun suit chains. ruling party has won an absolute majority . the national league for democracy has already declared a landslide victory. the main military backed opposition party rejects the vote and is demanding a rerun and police in the philippines say the death toll from typhoon vanco has risen to at least 26 as floodwaters recede and the cleanup gets underway. a massive storm the 3rd in its in as many wakes brought some of the worst flooding in years to the capital. manila and nearby provinces i, misty internationalists, calling it a horrific tragedy. scores and possibly hundreds of civilians have been stabbed and hacked to death in the northern ethiopian region of t. . grey witnesses say local forces fighting government troops in the region are to
8:13 am
blame for the killings and make addenda, but they so far deny carrying out the attacks the victims are thought to be day labor is not involved in the conflict. hostilities flared last week after the government accused the t. graves of people's liberation front of attacking a government military camp. the u.n. is warning of a humanitarian crisis, as thousands fled to neighboring sudan as we report, the stability of the whole region is feared to be at stake. this is a country sliding into civil war. these ethiopians haven't come to enjoy themselves, but to give blood for the soldiers fighting in tikrit state. the main aim of the blood donation program is to express our effect. our us paid for out of the conflict is not with the ground. not with the great people,
8:14 am
not with the great region. it's rather with who attacked our army in human form way or the conflict erupted in early november. the government sent troops into the region after a legit attack by local forces. they are going to federal army base in tikrit capital, which the federal government. how do you have the rights to the proof of their security forces in the use force in order to operate in those implicated in must equal russian and grows human rights violations. relations between the ethiopian prime minister and the t great people's liberation front have long been tense. government for nearly 30 years. the tea p.l.f. was dominant in ethiopian politics. but abby curbed the party's influence after coming to power in 2018, so its leaders say they have been unfairly targeted. like the constitutional
8:15 am
dispute raised tensions to boiling point. the t.p.i. left defied abbey's decision to postpone national polls due to the coronavirus. in september they went ahead with elections integrate, which they control, not only the stability of ethiopia itself is at stake in this conflict. the country with its population of 100000000 is pivotal to the stability of the horn of africa as a whole. in 2019, abbie won a nobel peace prize for his sweeping political reforms. and his role in brokering peace with eritrea after a bloody border war. but so far he's failed to heed the calls of the un and the african union for a cease fire in this conflict. well let's go to the capital, addis ababa now where journalist samuel get it. she was standing by, samuel amnesty says they verified these killings and along with the u.n. are urging the government to allow access to the region. why is
8:16 am
a painter difficult for organizations to get access? to begin with, there is an air strike going on at the moment. nobody is allowed, including the media might be the government might have a different perspective on it, but everything is hidden. we can't even verify all the numbers or keep coming to us . unless international support is the 1st, the report that did verify if there was it's a respected organizations and we have to take them at their words. but there we believe there are more killings because of the people that have moved to sudan are telling us, and it's just a horrifying incident. was too many people dying and many people being affected and for the civilians that are staying behind how badly is this affecting them, some of whom were already relying on aid you know, the 2 gray region as home 2000, so for eritrea and refugees, for example,
8:17 am
the region as a dependent state over before this conflicts sort, the need for, you know, organizations are complaining, the country when transport. we see all kinds of stuff. so the impact without us verifying it. we can only guess it's, it's even worse than assumed and even the people again, are telling reporters, since you've done how horrible the situation have become and it's only expected to get worse. what about the regional impact? do you say the risk of neighboring countries getting drawn into this? of course, you know, europe is a huge nation within the region 110000000 people. so whatever happened suit your expected to trickle down. for example, in sudan, south sudan, the nation that has all the snow and war from day one, from the independence. so it's been being too severe and there's going to continue
8:18 am
. it's going to break the, not just the region, but i assume even european nations are expected to, you know, taken some of this which will become migrants in the future. right. journalist saniel, get a cheer at us out of us. thanks very much. thank you. germany is reporting a record number of new cases with the corona virus, with nearly 20 $4000.00 infections registered in the last 24 hours. the health minister against found says, restrictions to slow, the spread of the virus are likely to be needed beyond november. half of all hospitals are reported to be stretched to capacity. germany was able to boost its number of intensive care beds during the 1st wave. but as we report, trained nurses are increasing an increasingly short supply inshalla is an intensive care nurse. she finished her specialist training at the end of october. now she's
8:19 am
caring for a coronavirus patient in intensive care at disability university hospital. having at the embassy in beirut, we've moved him around so that he lies in different positions and don't get bedsores. my colleagues will take some blood for a blood gas analysis, which will tell us how to adjust the ventilator things that the 30 year old nurse cannot yet do alone. having passed the state exam and completed 3 years of training for 2 years, she assisted on the ward with supervision. then after 2 more training years, she became a specialist nurse for intensive care and anaesthesia. that's all about ventilation . what to consider when ventilating which settings are there and also types of surgery in more detail. you also get a deeper insight into anaesthesia the sequence of operations the job is medically technically and personally challenging. that's why nurses cannot simply start working in i.c.u. after their basic training. luisa yanez,
8:20 am
in is $25.00 and just completed her 1st year of specialist training. 8 months of it during the pandemic. together with a colleague, she cares for a seriously ill coronavirus patient. after one more year, she will be able to do this on her own with their patients who should have one on one care. and of course we try to provide it. but sometimes it doesn't work out because we don't have enough staff that for me that even though the job pays well after training german nurses earn an average of $3500.00 euros per month before tax . and those doing shift work in i.c.u. receive additional bonuses. but high stress levels, big responsibilities, weekend shifts and a lack of recognition are all deterrents play out that mind of god and passing can sure. raising the wage could be an incentive for staying in the job and it could attract others to choose this line of work and death.
8:21 am
do you think we could be paid more life? considering the work we have to do and defend, and i'm glad that this is currently being discussed more that demand for cash, but i have calmed and so the coronavirus pandemic may even bring about change doesn't think was the point then we were just taken for granted the issue wasn't addressed the last few years. many people don't know what nurses have to deal with on a daily basis, especially intensive care nurses. and why not just anyone can do it at louisiana and wants to finish her specialist training despite and because of covert 19, these nurses know the coming weeks will be tough, but saying they will somehow manage to bring in data via political correspondent, thomas baron. now tell us germany is still recording high numbers of infections
8:22 am
despite the new measures. how long can the health system carry the load? essentially, not very long. if the numbers continue, the way we're seeing them says this is the 17th consecutive day here in germany with over 12000 new coronavirus cases in 24 hours. so you can just imagine how difficult is it to asian is not only politically for german leaders, but also in german hospitals. you already stressed the fact that many german hospitals are the limits of their capacity. in fact, many are saying that the situation even worse than what it was in april during the 1st wave of the pandemic at the same time, one very important indicator when we look at how hospitals are coping is how many i.c.u. beds are still available. and at the time there are around $6500.00 available, i.c.u. beds in germany, that's about 23 percent. so of gives you an idea of the situation. yes, it is very serious. indeed. there are still however, capacities are many hospitals. and that's something the german officials are very
8:23 am
aware of. i'm terms of these new lockdown measures. not everyone agrees with the current measures, some oppose the limited lockdown. but the poll a poll suggests that germans support the gulf government policy largely even 26 percent. think the measure is going too far, but 54 percent say they're appropriate and 18 percent even saying the measures don't go far enough. thomas, these polling results the same across party lines. no, they are not the same across party lines. there is a big debate not only among germans on the streets in society, but there's also all this to be a very debate about a very big debate about these measures in the german parliament. and if you ask for example, supporters of different parties, they view these measures differently. for example, the liberals, the f d p. think these measures go to father far right. a.f.d. also think the measures go to father different reasons that explain this. for example, those who believe that these measures affect businesses disproportionately or those
8:24 am
who think that they restrict personal freedoms too much. so again, there is a very big debate in germany about these measures. and also about the future cost of germany must now carry on a bus. now plan. in fact, on monday, for example, german leaders will be meeting once again to assess whether these initial measures are being effective or whether further measures are actually needed. on political correspondent thomas barry, thanks very much for the update. let's take a look at some of the other developments in the pandemic. israel has signed a deal with pfizer to receive 8000000 doses of its corona virus back say, next year. south korea has become fining people for not wearing masks in public spaces and new study in the medical journal, the lancet shows ethnic minorities have an increased risk of covert. 19 infection and new zealand has reopened downtown oakland. after tracing a new coronavirus case to a known costa well here in germany,
