hackles, vice becoming the 1st u.s. secretary of state to visit a jewish settlement in the occupied west bank. and a different kind of emergency on spain's canary islands. as growing numbers of migrants arrived by boat from africa, critics accuse the e.u. of turning a blind eye to a burgeoning new migrant crosspost. welcome to the program. germany's public health authority says that the rate of corona virus infections is still too high, even though there's been a stabilisation in taste of this. there were more than $22000.00 new coronavirus cases in germany over a 24 hour period. but there are signs that the latest measures to curb the pandemic are working with case numbers. seeing a plateau, despite hopes that the positive trend will continue,
1:02 pm
the chief of germany's health authorities said the pandemic situation in the country was still very serious. but because of the overall case, numbers are much too high. the number of civilian cases and the number of patients in intensive care are also on the rise. the number of deaths is also still very high. as we know this is that unlike in severe cases and this is, it was well for more let's bring in our political correspondent, live on the phone. given what we've just heard from the health authority, are we likely to see even tougher measures and what could they be? well, there was a hint of optimism at the press briefing today because the number of new infections in germany has stab allies to butts. and it has had a very high level, and that is why authorities can't speak of a trench reversal yet, which is why it's very likely that i'm going to america when she meets with the 16
1:03 pm
state premiers next week is going to discuss 1st of all an extension off the current measures beyond the month of november, but also maybe a tightening for the tightening of measures. and one issue that's definitely or very likely to come up is schools. because schools in germany are still open, but a lot of people are arguing in favor of a sort of hybrid model where half of the students are being taught in the classroom . and half of the students are being taught online. so from home and, and then they switch off to 2 weeks which would bring the number of contacts at schools and schools down here in germany. maybe we've seen some angry protests there against the covert measures. and yesterday, against revision of the law is the government losing public support? well, you said we've seen some very angry protests yesterday and it is very important to say that it is a minority. it's a loud minority, but it is a minority. the majority, the broad majority of germans do support the government. and recent poll has shown
1:04 pm
that 2 thirds say measures they're effective at curbing the spread of the coronavirus and 20 to 20 percent of those even say they want more restrictive measures. so we see there is broad support in the german and the german population for the government's action. and that has been quite consistent over the past couple of months with several covert 19 vaccines now in the pipeline and nearing approval. what's the government's garson action strategy? well, the vaccination strategies is still being discussed. what we do know so far is that the government is planning 60 vaccination centers across the country. it's bank tourists, vaccinate risk groups 1st, and it's going to cover the costs. and obviously, very importantly, the coronavirus vaccine will be voluntary. correspondingly, only from how much time thank you. and in the us,
1:05 pm
the death toll in the coronavirus pandemic has now surpassed a quarter of a 1000000 people. it's by far the highest national toll worldwide infections are soaring to new highs across the country. city was the epicenter of the outbreak earlier this year. now it's decided to close all public schools again as it fights a resurgence of the virus. it's an unseasonably early last week of school for children across new york city classrooms are shifting to online learning until further notice. it's the latest in a series of new restrictions in the state. parents and students alike are unhappy. it's super unfortunate that these kids are going to be denied an education, but we can go eat dinner inside a restaurant or to the world to be at the war. it kind of for a little sad, it's close by. if that's what's best for the kids will go with that. this is, his man feels the same way workers i want to for and as much as we are happy today
1:06 pm
that this moment was reached. we are resolved to keep fighting. that's what new yorkers do. and we will overcome this moment. cases in the state have more than doubled over the past 2 weeks. but new york isn't the only state to see an exponential rise. cases across the country are increasing, as are new restrictions. deaths have also been mounting, passing quarter of a 1000000 since the start of the pandemic. the president elect is warning even more people could die if president trump refuses to share crucial information with the incoming administration. over 300000000, americans that are beyond our, our border guards are going to have to be taken care of. there's a whole lot of things that we just don't have available to us or to let us made available soon. we're going to be horrified by weeks or months, or even as promising vaccines raise the hertha of an end to the crisis. the country
1:07 pm
will still have to enjoy a long winter. it's coronavirus, the highest level off, recording a record number of daily infections. $534.00 new cases reported in the japanese capital this. it's going, it was good bro. although no state of emergency has been declared, the government is looking to tighten some of its guidelines. for example, on eating in restaurants. him look at a law experts have a pointed out at the risk of infection it when eating and drinking it is said, we should wear a mask when talking to any even eating and drinking or the one that's why i like to ask the everyone dine quietly with their mask on i will
1:08 pm
also be doing the same starting today. this doesn't work you'll get there was at the joint by simon denny. he's the bureau chief for the washington post. and so up until now japan has made it through this pandemic, comparatively unscathed. what's changed? well, you're right, we're seeing again now we're seeing record numbers now of infections. and you know, it's really the limits of japan's strategy. japan strategy has been almost surgical in a way, you know, you way in mosques, you avoid risky situations and we work have to last look down the whole economy. if you just to hate yourself, this is kind of the mantra, everything's going to be ok. and we won't have to going to go through the situation that we've seen elsewhere. and to some extent it's worked, you know, jihad, as you said, is be less than to hit. but i think you're seeing real taxi with this now. i was out, or really actually, i was out seeing sentients o'kelly last week and you know,
1:09 pm
people was where everyone was, mosques out, dollars. but if you look inside the doors of the restaurants and bars, everyone is in the restaurants and bars without any muslims. they take the mask off as soon as they go inside, which is kind of defeating the object of the mosque, really seeing people just on these restrictions. well, promises. so we heard him speaking earlier that said, japan is on maximum alert where many countries that's become synonymous with the lockdowns and school closures. what's the situation in japan? yeah, i mean schools are still, peeps, kids are still in schools are still wearing masks in schools, but they're in schools. there's no economic closure. bizarrely japan is still subsidising domestic travel. so if you travel somewhere within japan, you container of the heart of your flights hotels, even your meals have to contain the back of the government. so the government on
1:10 pm
the one hand is saying that's an alert. and on the other hand, is actually paying people to go to court, to travel across the country in a bid to stimulate tourism. but that, of course, into kenya only getting it of course it's actually also spreading the disease in many countries. we've seen protests against coronavirus restrictions. how are the japanese so far? active? yeah, i mean, we haven't really seen protests here, but k., you know, there was, there was a sort of a semi lockdown, a state of emergency in april may, and there wasn't happiness and a lot of small businesses with that. so i think the government has decided that you just can't have, there's no political mileage in looking down the economy again. and the next writing this, i say this finessed approach. but you know, the behaviorist is pretty stubborn and he's, he's pretty good at getting around whatever you put in his way. so finessing it did work for a while. thoughts have it's not necessarily working now and of course we're coming
1:11 pm
into the wings at the doors in the restaurants are closing, the ventilation is getting harder and the whole situation flu is around the corner . it's getting, it's getting worse as it is everywhere in the world. sam and any of that ability for the washington post in tokyo, thank you for joining us here on news. thank you very much. my compel has become the 1st u.s. secretary of state to visit a jewish settlement in the occupied west bank. stop comes part of visits to israel and breaks with prior u.s. policy on disputed regions in another 1st, the top u.s. diplomat also says he plans to visit the golan heights, which israel captured from syria in the 19th. in 1969, israel later annexed strategically located territory in a move not recognised internationally last year. the trumped up ministration made the controversial decision to recognize israeli sovereignty in the golan
1:12 pm
from, or that has been our correspondent in jerusalem. a ton of these are pretty symbolic images. a few, a secretary of state visiting a jewish settlement in the occupied west bank. what is the reason behind this visit? well by and large it's seen as a favor to or for u.s. secretary of state, mike pompei, who, by the tour with highly controversial stops. and as you said, it's a 1st for us secretary senior u.s. official to stop in a israeli settlement. now he is visiting a vinery there that had named a special edition of wine name, pompei last year to thank him and the u.s. administration, the trumpet, ministration for we were seeing decades old policy foreign policy on settlements bumpier last year. and now instead, the u.s. no longer sees settlement settlements inconsistent with international law. this,
1:13 pm
of course goes against what other international with other countries and the international community at large are considering settlements to consider them as illegal. now we've seen a couple of demonstrations as well. the palestinian sees that provocation. there have been people protesting just opposite of this settlement in the town of ajdabiya or that's part of these are some of these people are actually owning some parts of the land where the winery is built on. now of course the big question is, you know, what impact will this have because obviously this is an outgoing administration, but it sets of course, a symbolic price indent. and that is blurring the line so to speak when it comes to international law. this is a farewell present for the trouble of mistrust between quite a quite friendly what's the feeling there in israel?
1:14 pm
is that going to change on the job? i well, i mean certainly no secret that prime minister binyamin netanyahu and president u.s. president all trump had a very close relationship. he had somehow always talked about. he had the open doors to the white house. and also this visit by the u.s. secretary of state. compare seen a bit of celebrating all those achievements because what the u.s. administration has done here in the last 4 years has actually set new paramita to see you know, in many aspects to the israeli palestinian conflict by moving the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem by recognizing settlements by recognizing israeli serenity over the golan heights, and many more of such moves now. it is expected that some of this will be possibly very worst by the new incoming president elect joe biden. he is known for
1:15 pm
being stunned supporter of the 2 state solution he is against settlements. he has made very clear probably also opened up again diplomatic channels with the palestinians and we are seeing already some moves in that direction. generally speaking, israelis are saying that they're hoping that the new administration will work together very well. joe biden is known for being a friend of israel and that in this aspect, both the government here and the administration there will work very well together in jerusalem time. now for a look at some of the other stories making headlines today, australia's special forces unlawfully killed $39.00 afghan civilians and prisoners according to a damning report of the military inquiry, heard evidence of summary executions that took place in afghanistan as part of
1:16 pm
initiation rituals. the chief of the australian defense force as apologised, and the case is now being referred to a special war crimes prosecutor, thailand's prime minister is threatening a tough response to protesters demanding his removal, a new constitution and reforms to the monarchy in spoke after another night of mass protests in bangkok with activists marching on thailand's police headquarters and defacing the walls with paint a day earlier. police used water cannons and tear gas on demonstrators injuring dozens. at least 7 people have been killed and others injured in protests. in uganda, the unrest started after the arrest of ugandan presidential candidate and pop star bobby wine. he was detained in the capital, kampala on wednesday for allegedly flouting covert 19 rules, while campaigning. police fired tear gas to disperse. once ortiz, for a new magazine migrant crisis, is emerging on spain's canary islands,
1:17 pm
where just last month, more than 8000 africans have arrived by boat opening to get into europe. human rights groups say people are being kept in dire conditions when they arrive there. while local officials say they're simply overwhelmed by the situation. the journey across choppy waters to the spanish island is a treacherous one for migrants to w.c. . and philip showed us been to grant an area to see what awaits the bat. from here, journalists can go no farther. some 2000 african migrants are being housed in this camp in the part of moore gonna get on 5 times as many as was expected to aid groups have spoken of squalid conditions, but it's impossible for d.w. news to find out. jay, my son tyler now works for the island's refugee council. his colleagues have been inside the camp and it puts another minutes when everyone sleeps on the floor,
1:18 pm
some intensity and some knowledge in the open to those who have been criticizing this from day one that we didn't think it would get this bad. but at the end, it would mean that all the $2300.00 people in the camp and then numbers that are growing every day. it's in the only 2000 migrants arrived in the canary islands last weekend alone. the crossing is dangerous, but the coronavirus pandemic has cut off about migration routes. the government has started housing new arrivals in hotels near the camp. human rights activists say they are not getting a fair shot at the asylum system. these migrants from san diego feel that they will soon be deported. not so long. will it be for that? but i don't know why journalists are not welcome here, eva g.w. new assist, told to leave in mid conversation. may know is angry at the spanish government,
1:19 pm
but also feels abandoned by the european union. it donna has documented, get it, i'm disappointed with spain and with europe. this is shameful. a lot of politicians and representatives have come here recently, but we have no clue what the government's strategy is to deal with the migration crisis on the canary islands. but there will be money buying it. and spain's government refuses to relocate the migrants to the mainland. critics say this has turned the island into a prison. for months, the trends of increasing migration numbers has been visible here on the canary islands. nevertheless, everyone involved seems overwhelmed by the current situation. valuable preparation time has been lost. instead, the island government, the central government and the european union, starting to shift responsibility for the situation to one another. the spanish
1:20 pm
government has now started to procure for of accommodation for the migrants. many fear that this housing will fill up before long. a corresponding young. philip shaw let's see, is on the canary islands of bronx, an area following the latest developments for us and joins us now from day one. philip, why is it that so many african migrants are now heading for the canary islands instead of the european mainland? well, i think we have to look at a variety of factors that 1st of all a lot of africans are deciding to migrate at the moment. the coronavirus crisis has devastated their economies and there is a lot of political crisis about the continent. at the same time. a lot of traditional migration routes have been blocked because of the pandemic. for example, the central mediterranean route between libya and italy and spain signed the deal with morocco last year. and that basically says that no rock an authority is trying
1:21 pm
to keep migrants away from the northern shores which are close to the spanish mainland. but this has had a paradox of thank you because now the migrants are not giving up, but they are simply starting their see crossing south and arriving on the island instead of the mainland. so while the situation well, that's a very good question. i was on another island very close to going out 2 months ago because it was already liz, about migration numbers were starting to rise. but the local authorities where it's still very, very relaxed about the issue. i think it has a lot to do with the fact that there are many crisis on the islands here at the moment. it's a typical tourist destination. and authorities have also been very busy fighting the devastating impact of the pandemic on the tourism industry. the tourism industry, one of average people living and making the situation well,
1:22 pm
it's not the 1st time that a lot of migrants write from the island. and traditionally, people here have been very welcoming, but i have the feeling that this time it's a little bit different. the situation, it's a little bit more tense because this is visible every day because there are new protests. i could witness a lot of conversation. people complaining. there's too much attention on the migrants now and their own problems here. the problems of the local residents are completely ignored. i mean, we have to keep in mind that this is really a double crisis here on the island because a lot of people lost their jobs due to the tourism industry. very important for the island has been completely destroyed. correspondent philip short's reporting from the canary islands. thank you for that. thank you. and

poland. thousands of people have staged a fresh rally in warsaw to protest an attempt to tighten the country's abortion laws. last month, poland's top cold outlawed abortions for fetal abnormalities amounting to a ban. on the nearly all abortions in the country, the proposed changes the largest demonstrations in decades and are driving more women to seek abortions abroad. of protests in poland. thousands of women took to the streets to voice outrage over supreme court ruling that could further tighten the country's strict abortion laws. already many women have been forced to travel abroad for the procedure in germany. he's inundated with hate mail from compatriots for performing abortions on polish women. first and foremost,

save my life and was one of the reasons i became a journalist. i'm a storyteller, and i use my words to help with intercultural understanding. my name and telling them where you and i work and to top it off to the most rioting. last year. hong kong may be quiet, but it's far from being at peace. this month at the city's local government. raging forced out for pro-democracy, legislators, giving them no choice. it's to oppose the move before the 15 resigned in protest of what they called to return to silence the last 50 or so in the city. park chief executive kerry low. so home called the leaders of the certainly comprised of pastry
1:31 pm
hello and welcome to this special edition of conflict zone on the crisis in hong kong. over the last year, we've interviewed several probe agena and pro-democracy figures, and we challenge them all to justify what they done and said some of their arguments have clearly failed to stand the test of time. mason law, a leading pro-democracy activist, fled to london in june after a warrant was issued for his arrest. this week i asked him if he'd ever believed his movement could take on beijing. and when i think we have already achieved a lot of things are with demonstrate the courage and bravery of how come people and making sure the world knows that we're resisting and collaborating in combating the authoritarian expansion of china. so i think we have awakened the world, but the result isn't in downtown, is it? china will get its way, beijing will get its way, won't it?
1:32 pm
well, beijing has been suppressing hong kong people at the cost of our basic freedom. and as a matter of fact, the world has been reacting to that suppression, a lot of sanctioning zen embargo always. and also, plenty of countries abandoning and extradition treaty to hong kong is it shows that the well actually know what china has been doing and determined to counteract. last year as the rioting intensified, beijing warned protesters to expect what it called a blow from the sword of law. victor gao, the chinese lawyer and academic tried to suggest that his government had nothing against democratic rights. it was just against violence, so long as democracy, democratic rights are exercised, the peacefully and lawfully. everyone is a winner. no one is a loser. what we need to a pops in hong kong is violence. you. that is the key. you ignore the fact that
1:33 pm
china's plan has been to chip away at hong kong's freedoms and democracy until they were all meaningless and then beijing could reassert full control in that that's been the plan, hasn't it? well, a long again with due respect. i disagree. why should beijing of the central government in hong kong take away any liberties or freedoms in hong kong? but they do not. they did mr. y. like the kidnapping of 500 cong bookseller's. it is certain to turn up in mainland china. the crackdown on those who led the 2014 process, the highly controversial decision to allow mainland chinese police to operate in the west station. all this is chipping away at the freedoms of hong kong to beijing . imagine that people wouldn't notice this. i think we need to really keep an eye on the big picture that is ever since the 1997 hong kong has managed to keep its relative independence. judiciary independence, for example, political system,
1:34 pm
there has been no change in center. if you talk about specific cases, we can go into details if you have more time. now, remember when 10 shopping were still alive and he was the key architect for the one country 2 system. he said, for the record that if the one country 2 system will work out for the 1st 50 years, why couldn't it be extended for another 50 years? so there is an uncertainty as to what will happen in hong kong after 2047. i would say everything will come to their end if, for example, violence continues in hong kong. however, if stability, prosperity, development, and the improvement of the people's living standards are the normal things all the way leading up to 247. why couldn't the one country 2 systems apply more years ago? give me, you have to tell me to measure one point, you know, put in hong kong in the overall magnitude of the scale of china,
1:35 pm
or whatever bad things that have happened the home of the past 6 months. and things in china is, is, is at the best it can be called a storm in a teacup. it's not going to change meaningfully, anything that's happening in people's republic of china at all. what beijing is unhappy about and adamantly is a pollster to is the violence in hong kong. let's be honest, as straightforward with them. no country either britain of the united states will tolerate the level of violence that has engulfed hong kong for the past 6 months. and that crimes of warning fell on deaf ears on the streets of hong kong. with demonstrators were in no mood to step back. besides, by using violence themselves, they now have the attention of western governments. i put it to joey pro-democracy student that the protesters went so far as to kill anyone movement.
1:36 pm
yes, i agree. and i am prepared to take that risk and you won't come out in public and say, we need to stop this. the british government has slammed last week and what it called the hard core minority said the violence was an acceptable. this is the sound of your international support. wavering and believing you isn't it? yes. well, i believe the ask elation of thousands and those might, but definitely be very concerning to the international society. when all the free world countries are advocating using peace, whole means to bring the situation to a tree restart, but it's going too far already. doesn't matter. well, of course that matters, but i think the most important thing is about how can we hold our government accountable, and how can we bring them to respond to our demands. what about the judiciary?
1:37 pm
you've heard criticism from judicial institutions in hong kong, pretty heavy criticism. these are the bodies, enjoy considerable respect around the world for the impartiality. again, if you're losing them. this is a really bad sign for the law society, for instance, of all forms of unlawful violence, particularly against the police, the use of petrol bombs against the police, as well as the apparent attacks on the families of police officers and of the children at school. you proof of those methods, bullying the children of police officers that school? well, i don't agree with those math that's still with us. and so you don't agree with the violence and you don't agree with the bullying of the children. doesn't sound as though there's much you agree with, but you'll stay silent anyway. now we had the f, a k thing using peace. i mean, for example, like peaceful rallies, marches to,
1:38 pm
to express our concerns and demands. and, but the point is that we do not publicly condemn those actions, but still we try to use our peaceful means to use our own case for means to try to switch to tactics using intimidation, mafia style in intimidation, we have reported one teenage daughter of an officer being harassed by another out while she was playing sport, they said to her, what your father is doing is disgusting since when are children responsible for the actions of their parents? well, 1st off, i don't thing. any family members of those police officers should be responsible for their own disgusting actions, and i'm able to, you're making them responsible. some of your people are making responsible, bullying them. harrison. well, i believe that is happening, but are there or will not? society says it's happening. yes, i can deny that it is actually happening. but still we're trying to use peaceful tactics to, to bring the situation to a resolution. and i believe like,
1:39 pm
bullying family members would not be a very good way to solve the situation. the hong kong bar association. so do the hong kong airport constituted serious struction and was in open defiance of junctions granted by the courts. in other words, you broke the law. do you want to live in the street governed by the rule of law or only the moves that you like? of course i would like to live in a state of our floor. however, we can see that it is very obvious that the situation of where our flying home town is being broken, not by the protesters but by the government itself. and i believe that's why protesters are marching on the street are taking on to the streets, even though they know that it will break the law. and i believe together to resist something, you know, the most important is to fight to protect the rule of law in hong kong and judicial independence. but you're trashing it at the same time. well,
1:40 pm
i believe breaking the law to protect to the law. doesn't that? because well it is the government that forces us to take on the streets and to break the laws. it is not a private entity. so this is, you know, ok, forces you to break the law or do that the government forces us to do so i believe that's your interpretation. but here, here are these judicial institutions, rule boarding you, that criminal contempt as they put it impedes the administration of justice. and if unchecked, will inflict grave and reprobate damage to the rule of law in hong kong, grave and irreparable damage. that's what we think you're doing to, hong kong doesn't matter what, of course, that matters. but as i have mentioned, what matters the most about whether we can actually bring a change to our political structure and our government structure. and that would be the common goal. and would be the most important go for us to achieve for this moment. and i believe,
1:41 pm
even for the department of justice's self as in being totally independent for now, after, after the hangover of hong kong from their british government to the chinese government, we can see that our core values, our judicial system is being encroached by the chinese government for a while, the protest brought results. the hong kong government scrapped a controversial extradition bill. it would have seen suspects tried in mainland courts controlled by the communist party. but police arrested hundreds of protesters in the pro-democracy movement. have plenty of other demands. foreign governments want them to open a dialogue with the government, but there was little appetite for if you have a sat down with the government and hold a dialogue, who talks to you also? who could, who could authorize compromises that are essential in the kind of political dialogue? who in your movement could actually sit down and authorize compromises?
1:42 pm
i believe nobody could represent our movement because as you know, done with you, you're not opening doors, you're closing doors. when we are going doris's, you just said nobody can go through a compromise is going to be considered the room for you. represent you while back you sort of move supposed to talk to. well, back to chief executive kerry has tried to approach to several student unions, the hong kong and we had rejected her offer because she requested a private meeting with some of this to the new hong kong which, which is not even representing all the students in hong kong, it would be a start, wouldn't it? it would have been a start. it won't be a start, it will only be a end to our movement. because back in 2014, we see that caroline tried to talk to some of the student leaders. some of the leaders of the umbrella revolution. however, what we got are 30 after the dialogue was that was to crackdown after our movement . and then carolyn did not fear any of her any of her promises in the dialogue. and
1:43 pm
we felt like, especially in this leaderless movement, it's very important for us to have a public dialogue with as many stakeholders in a society as possible. at least we cannot only have the student activists talking to kerry land. ok, have you think that other stakeholders you've put forward 5 principle demands of the hong kong government, you and your fellow activists, that the government has only addressed one of them, which was the extradition bill, which they withdrew. but in fact, according to albert chan, professor of nor the university of hong kong, the government responded to all of your demands, just not in the way that you want it. you wanted an independent investigation into police handling of the riots. you didn't get that, but you didn't get nothing either. the independent police complaints council appointed 5 overseas experts from britain, canada, australia, and new zealand. you didn't get everything but they did respond. well, i believe. what are we calling for is not only
