this is news coming to you live from berlin, germany, braces for tighter coronavirus measures. despite a partial lockdown, hospitals are filling in and infection rates are rising. michael is set to meet today with regional leaders and discuss the possibility of tougher restrictions. also coming up for group is a country without a leader. after the interim president steps down, move on leashes celebrations in the streets after deadly mass protests, but the nation now faces a constitutional crisis. plus a forced exodus from armenian civilians, abandoned at district,

ceded to azerbaijan, as part of a cease fire agreement. many are torching their homes to leave nothing behind and formula one's 1st and only black driver makes history. lewis hamilton secures a record equalling sevenths formula one world title at the turkish grand prix. he pulled his way from behind in quick and treacherous conditions. hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. germany could soon impose stricter coronavirus restrictions. german chancellor, i'm going back was due to meet leaders of the country 16 states. the meeting comes after a partial lockdown after a partial lockdown measures were introduced 2 weeks ago. these include closing bars, restaurants and news c. m. but the measures have not significantly reduced the

number of new virus cases. according to german public health authority, the robert culp institute new infections climbed to nearly 11000 on monday. well, joining me for more is our chief political editor michela. what can we expect from today's meeting? well, we can expect more restrictions, that's the bottom line. this is really taking stock of what was decided to weeks ago. those renewed restrictions. and what we're expecting to see is that the number of people allowed to meet in public and in private could be reduced even further from the draft documents that are already circulating. and one can also see that there might be a shift in strategy or way from restrictions outside the individual sphere. for instance, when it comes to restaurants. so we might not see tougher restrictions there and

instead see more of an incentive and requirement for people to go into quarantine personally, much faster and for potentially longer periods of time without actually being tested positive. that's one element. that's in the draft. that people who call in sick, who have cold like symptoms instead of testing because we are actually at the limit of testing capabilities here in germany at this very moment in time, would then be required to simply stay at home. because that's another thing that health authorities here have been struggling and continue to struggle to actually track back track in individual infection cases. so very often they can't even get to the source of every channel infection fast enough to really make a difference. so we expect there to be measurements that once again, shift the onus on the individual to take more responsibility. 2 weeks ago, germany entered another partial lockdown. is there any sign that the measures in

place now are beginning to show any effect? yes, there is. the expectation is, and that's also in this document that germany has succeeded in getting out of exponential growth when it comes to the infection. but the infection rate is still a tie than comfortable with at the moment. it's around about $140.00 cases per 100000. people within the space of 7 days and the target is to get below 50, that was the initial formula that was worked out over those 1st couple of months trying to shift into new normal of living with the crisis. so if this gets down to 5500000 people within a week, that's something that german authorities that. so i'm going to machall who's been the leader also fielding. the concern here would be more comfortable with a number of government ministers have been weighing in on this topic. there is

a quote i just want to read now from germany's newspaper, from the economy minister peter, he said he expects germans quote, will have to live with considerable precautions and restrictions for at least the next 4 to 5 months. how do you think this is going to go down with the public? i think this tells in pretty much what people had been expecting anyway of 2 thirds of people actually still feel that the measures in place acceptable or that they should be even tougher. so, but at the same time, this also tells in, with the timeline of an expected vaccine, which is expected to be ready for distribution at the latest, at the beginning of next year or storage fees. here are now being told that they should be getting ready to start vaccinating or at least be ready for that by midst . december became a thank you. it was a cheap political editor make

a little mckillop pointed out. corona virus testing labs are approaching their limits here in germany, in an attempt to ease the pressure. a new strategy is in place for the winter, with fewer turfed but targeted at those who need the most and more rapid tests. but the new strategy comes with its challenges, as we've discovered at one hospital here in berlin. a current virus test to make sure this patient's not infected ahead of her operation in a few days' time. if it doesn't pass exactly, but it's very unpleasant. it feels like the scope is poking around in your brain, but the test is obligatory to protect other patients and staff at hospitals like this one in berlin. but many people in germany would like the chance to be tested more regularly. it would be good if we could use the tests to make things like

traveling easier to be a bit safer. but that doesn't look likely any time soon with testing capacity at its limits, the government is trying to ease the pressure on, overworked slaps. even some hospitals are shifting away from the more reliable p.c.r. tests. instead using the faster cheaper antigen test to check best stuff for the virus has the advantage of rapid tests is that we get a result within 30 minutes. it's relatively reliable and a relatively easy testing system based on the other hand, the disadvantage is that we know the rapid tests are slightly less sensitive to the virus. the p.c.r. test is the gold standard. it's more precise than the rapid test. it's good now it's of medicals. it's a fine balance between what's reliable and what's practical. but the rapid test come with that challenges to in germany, they can only be administered by a trained health worker that costs time and money and means people can test themselves at home. nurse eve bomb and understands that from the

hospital staff. of course, we would have liked to keep using the p.c.r. tests because that most sensitive i understand the law that limits and we meet the needs of the patients. when they arrive with symptoms, then we have to know fos beneficial whether they really have corona virus or not. bowman gets tested once every 2 weeks enough to feel safe. he says, but it's clear any hopes testing could be rolled out on a broader scale will have to wait for many. that means a test of patience instead. and here's a quick look at a few other developments in the make. iran's president hassan rouhani has called for a national mobilization against the virus. the country recorded its highest number of daily cases. yet on sunday, the british prime minister forrest johnson, has been told to self isolate for 2 weeks after coming into contact with someone who tested positive for the corona virus. and italy has registered nearly 34000 new

cases of corona virus in just one day. and factions there continue to search in parts of italy, the health system was pushed to the brink of collapse during the 1st wave of the pandemic. this spring, over the weekend, lebanon began a 2 week lockdown to curb the spread of cova 19 health officials called the country's situation critical with hospital capacity, the saturation point, but many dread the economic impact of the restrictions as the country already faces its worst financial crisis. in decades, lebanon enters another lockdown. the few people out on the streets of beirut are wondering how they're going to make ends meet. they're not going to work for 2 weeks. my search, my salary and the next month is going to be like so. so i don't know the country is registering around 2000 new coronavirus cases every day and it's

intensive care units are at 95 percent capacity. that's prompted the government to urge people to put their health 1st and not the economy. you know, now we have reached the red line. we've reached a stage of critical danger and we dread reaching a stage where people are dying in the streets, you know, relief mentec. the impression founded authorities hope that this lockdown will give the country's health system a chance to recover but not everyone is convinced the restrictions will make a difference. many people coming to the pharmacy having or don't know, they are not commit that there's a lockdown as they are going outside without face masks. so we need to be

more committed. others are respecting the lockdown rules, but with lebanon's hospital short of hundreds of doctors, the country likely has a rough road ahead before it can get a grip on the pandemic. so you can look at some other stories making headlines around the world today. ethiopia says its forces have liberated a town in the northern region. it's accusing local leaders of taking 10000 prisoners from the town as they fled. to recon flick between government forces threatens to trigger a civil war that could destabilize the region. at least 7 people died and several others were injured when a fire broke out in a crowded residential district of hong kong. on sunday, the blaze occurred around 8 pm local time in the heavily built up area packed with park and business has rapidly gained strength and brought torrential

rain and flooding to colombia's caribbean coast. u.s. national hurricane center warned lot of will likely be an extremely dangerous category. 4 storm, when it says the central american mainland late on monday for rude, has been plunged into its biggest constitutional crisis in decades following the resignation of its interim president, after just 5 days in office. agreed to step down after his short term was marked by deadly unrest. the prompted half his cabinet to resign. people took to the streets to celebrate resignation. he took over the top job after legislators voted to oust his popular predecessor over corruption allegations. protesters say that amounted to a paramilitary, made the announcement that he was stepping down in a short televised address. these when the country,

through one of its greatest political crises, futile to old, a country that the presidency of the republic call for the peace and unity of all peruvians. my commitment to peru we asked our correspondent, or amir as about reactions. it was out on the street, here's what happened out there resignation and they are. 8 2 2 there was this, you know, this is deliberate and so was it was nice celebration of the

words, party and celebration did come through. they're hard to understand exactly what our correspond was saying. but again, this is with us here in the studio to put it into context for us. good to see you. javier. so jubilation there in the streets of lima is a really much to celebrate in peru right now. well, not really, terry. what people are celebrating is the simple fact that the population was able to not let what parliament was trying to do happened that easily without any consequences. and it is simply the fact that they impeached the president might have been b. scott about who was in power because he was the vice president of another president that had to resign due to corruption allegations. this just to give us a brief idea of the scope of the problem that is going on in peru. they basically have every single politician, somehow accused of very bad corruption scandals. and this is what led to

a power struggle between parliament and the president might have been discarded, actually not the one that just resigned, but the one before him who wanted to fight that corruption. now, where many know the president who just resigned was in charge of parliament as the president of the parliament and had to take over after martin be scott was impeached. but the population was so angry by seeing this power struggle and politician simply a deer into power for the sake of it. not really because anyone was seriously fighting corruption that they took to the streets and it was effective now when many know had to resign. and that's the situation we're in right now. ok. the peace from process aside, we don't really, you know, it's hard to get through the allegations right now. what happened? but why did merinos appointment? this was a parliamentary process. you know, there wasn't a coup. was a coup in that, in the traditional sense. why was, what did his resig, why did his appointment cause such outrage?

well, it's because i think he's got to was very popular among prove. yes, because he wanted to fight corruption. and once they accused the parliament accused of abuse got to as well, of allegedly having been corrupt when he was in regional government in the past. they simply bait that impeachment and placed the president of parliament who had been fighting not at the very often in power as the president. the problem is, once he was there, he named the cabinet of this new government, including many members of congress and of parliament who are themselves being investigated for corruption. so it is, i mean it's sounds ridiculous, but it is really a circus, if you will. and in and in a way, and that's why people are so angry and it's easy to understand. it's very complex. just just one question. any idea of who's going to replace who's going to come in next as prime minister? we don't really know right now because there was

a parliamentary session where the parliament was going to name a new president of that parliament who would then assume take over the functions of the executive. but that session had to be postponed and it will continue on monday afternoon, peruvian time. so we will definitely see a lot more going on through the next few days to perhaps a new prime minister for the end of the day who can get us. thank you. so much you're watching the news still to come find out how lewis hamilton change from behind in treacherous conditions to match michel schumacher his record of the turkish bronze. the 1st us russia has agreed to extend the deadline for armenia withdrawal from a disputed district by 10 days. it follows a peace deal that ended 6 weeks of fierce fighting over the region. residents of the college are district to begin a mass exodus away from the initial withdrawal deadline on sunday, armenians. so,

i mean, separatists have controlled the district since the 1990 s. when armenia and azerbaijan thought a border war after the break up of the soviet union. who said it was postponing the deadline for humanitarian reasons. but the burning of homes by armenians are leaving the area for the extension comes after an appeal from armenia and mediation from russian president vladimir putin. he brokered the peace agreement and has put russian troops on the ground. as peacekeepers, it's a russian flag now flying at the ancient amini and dotty van monastery, in the disputed district. russian peacekeeping forces a setting up here as part of a cease fire agreement brokered by moscow. guiding the christian ministry is one of their duties along with supervising the exodus of amini and

troops and civilians from the area. although the armenian priests who live in the monastery are allowed to remain christian, armenians resent having to give over their homes to muslim azeris. but the terms of the peace deal allow azerbaijan to take control of formally controlled by armenians . both ethnicities have lived here at different times. according to moscow, more than 4000 people have died in the 6 weeks of fighting in and around nagorno-karabakh. i mean, it's a still burying their dead i just feel that all the dead guys and now our sons, it doesn't matter who died relative or non-relative. we're grieving for everyone. but both the sort of this agreement with azerbaijan is not mere children. it's

about capitulation. that's all of us in the occupant of the russian peacekeeping mission will last for 5 years with an option for renewal as a by john would have liked that key ally, turkey to be directly involved to end ankara pushed for that. but moscow got its way, the armed conflict may be ended for now, but overcoming resentment in both our media and azerbaijan won't be so easy. and joining us from armenians, chappell is our correspondent elise shara, when emily armenia and azerbaijan keep into the peace accord this time around. well, so far this peace deal that was signed last week seems to be holding previous cease fires that were negotiated both by the u.s. and by russia collapsed almost immediately into fighting in the past few weeks

since fighting broke out at the end of september. but this one seems to be holding so far last week as of by john took over a strategic city in nagorno-karabakh, the 2nd biggest city there, which is the hilltop, the hilltop town of shushi. and that was kind of a turning point, the prime minister here in armenia and you call flashing neon signs that deal. he said he did it with great regret. and now russian peacekeepers will be controlling the corner. and also a strategic road that connects armenia with so that peace is holding some experts say that this conflict is just refrozen as resentment continues on both sides. now armenia was supposed to withdraw its troops from areas that were with droll, already taken place. so there are 3 districts that

are actually outside of your car about that have been under armenian control under international law. they've always been or for the last for these last 2 years they've been very districts and those 3 districts are supposed to be handed over. now one of the districts was supposed to be handed over by yesterday the calm but charred district. and very president aliyev said that he would be giving an extension of the deadline to withdraw there for 10 days. and that that was because of humanitarian grounds. after all, we've been hearing reports of huge traffic jams from the college, much our district people fleeing the region before the aires arrive to come together of on here and people packing all their belongings, kind of truckloads of furniture or cattle and so on. and they've even been burning

their houses there in that district because they don't want to leave anything behind for what they see as the enemy. emily, thank you very much. the twas de w.'s course, put it, and we sure will in europe. now formula one and british driver lewis hamilton made history at the turkish is when there means he has equal all time record of 7 world titles. but it wasn't easy and he had to come from behind and he had to do it in the way that lewis hamilton started 6th on the grid. it is tim ball park, the mercedes driver who stayed patient in the wet and slippery conditions. strategy was key. when the chance came, hamilton struck storming past racing points to snatch the lead. he never relinquished it and went on to seal the victory along with this season's world

championship. this means hamilton has now equaled the great michel schumacher, his all time, record of 7 formula. one world titles that he dreamed of this is as good as you know when you're young and when i was young when we were watching the grand prix. and this is way, way beyond our dreams, and i think it's so important for kids out there. it's it, i hope you see this and know that no one to tell you don't listen to anybody that tells you you can't achieve something. dream, the impossible and speak it into existence and you've got to work for it. you gotta chase it, and you would never give up. lewis hamilton has solidified his place as one of the greatest racing drivers of all time, and he could go on to reach even more milestones.

hamilton was not the only one to win in his story. and on sunday, american goal for dustin johnson claimed his 1st masters at augusta national with the tournaments record low score. the 36 year old posted a score of 20 under par to win by 5 strokes, making this johnson's 2nd major title well with cross border travel restrictions imposed in much of the world. artists in japan have found a creative way to send goodwill to their neighbors. in singapore, the idea is to share in simple childlike joys like wishing all that and to take a step and make a wish. people are spreading these virtual dandy line seeds across borders and with them, hoping to also send a message of peace and difficult times in the large scale art installation is

called breath. bless. and it has its roots in tokyo. when people here interact with the displays, those elsewhere can witness the virtual flowers blooming. using their cell phones, people can blow on a dandelion in one location and make peonies or cherry blossoms bloom in another. it's the brainchild of japanese artist, sue. he believes the breath can carry blessings from one city to another. currently, the installation is available in several parts of japan, as well as singapore. more to matsue would like to see the virtual flowers and the message of peace they carry, traveled to more places around the world. as just reminder, the top story we're following for you here today, indeed, it is. german chancellor angela merkel is due to meet with regional leaders to discuss tighter coronavirus restrictions. according to germany's public health
