sea by declaring is severin a-t. over the golan heights. last year. this is of course, was not supported by the majority of the international community. early on he went to a settlement, the settlement of sagar to visit to a binary. and he made another statement there. another reversal of u.s. policy that came a bit off as a surprise saying that from now on products that are being produced in the settlements in the occupied west bank could be labeled as made in israel, a highly controversial move there. this is in line actually with another reversal of longstanding u.s. policy that the us administration last years set that they don't consider israeli settlements longer as illegal now or for the palestinians today, they have seen this visit as very provocative. there were some statements in this

regard, but at the same time, they also understand this is coming, the trump arras coming somehow to an end. there was probably more a sigh of relief as well because the palestinian leadership has a cause of all diplomatic ties with the trump administration. but that also leaves, of course, the question why denouncement of such a policy change is now this is an outgoing administration, and it would actually leave more obstacles for the incoming biden administration. let's talk about the coming ministration. because benyamin netanyahu had developed a close relationship with president trump. what is the feeling there about the president's? well, i think to have to look at it from a different angle because president elect joe biden is very well known in israel. he has described himself as a friend of israel. he has said he has known every prime minister since the 1970 s. . also, he knows where the current israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu,

but at the same time it will not be the same relationship of what we've seen in the past 4 years between benyamin netanyahu and us president donald trump of the same kind of policies are favors. now the main concern for israelis here is especially also for the right wing in israel is what kind of foreign policy rule see from the incoming biden administration. will there be a reversal of policies like in the iran nuclear deal, or the paramita is that the tribe administration has said when it comes to the israeli palestinian conflict. so there's much concern about that. what will be refuted, how this foreign policy will look like, and also how important it will be on the agenda of the incoming administration. to thank you. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. members of a stranger special forces unlawfully killed 39 afghan civilians and prisoners according

to a damning new report. the internal investigation into military misconduct heard evidence of summary executions in afghanistan during initiation rituals. the chief of the australian defense force has apologized, and the case is being referred to a war crimes prosecutor. in uganda, at least 16 people have been killed and 350, arrested during 2 days of operations by security forces. authorities are trying to enter riots struck by the arrest of a presidential candidate on the wind. the pop star turned lawmaker is seen as the leading challenger to president yoweri museveni in january here. actually, thailand's prime minister is threatening a tough response to protesters demanding reforms, including his own movie, bangkok, a scene another night of mass protest with activists marching on police headquarters. dozens have been injured as a demand changes to the constitution and to the monarchy. germany's

disease control agency is warning that the national rate of corona virus infections is still too high. more than 22000, new cases have been recorded in one day. but there are signs that the latest restrictions are working. as numbers begin to plateau, they had of the robert costa institute says the situation is still very serious, but it sounds in the overall case numbers are much too high. the number of severe cases and the number of patients in intensive care are also on the rise. it's the number of deaths is also still very high. as we know this is it lying in severe cases and deaths. leaders are trying to confirm the blocks 1.8 trillion in your own budget, which includes funds for addressing the economic fallout from the pandemic. but they're running into up vission from poland and hungary. slovenia is also hosting package, which requires unanimous about the 3 have raised concerns about the e.u.

is rule of law oversight measure just means funds can only be allocated to member states aligned with him values some countries and criticize nationalist government, old and angry, and which they say, have eroded democratic reforms to independent conditions straight to brussels, that where we joined d. w correspondent barbara faisal. welcome, bob. how big a deal is this? what happens if this budget is blocked? it is a big deal and the biggest deal, the biggest part of this is the 700000000000. the recovery fund that is supposed is you said to alleviate the consequences. the economic consequences of the krona pandemic, particularly in southern europe, where countries like spain and italy are hardest hit. now if this fund is blocked, simply can't go ahead. i mean, it is late as it is, because countries had hoped that it could start to disburse money at the beginning

of next year. now it's not going to come to that. it will take some months longer, but now this blockage by poland and hungary, so the delays, it even further. and there is a lot of anger behind the scenes here. the bigger member states pointing at the 2 isn't europeans and saying it is quite incredible what they are doing here. and they will get sort of hefty talking to tonight during this a virtual summit meeting and then a solution will have to be found somehow. so is a way to work around them. or as i said at the top of this paste, it doesn't have to be just everyone have to sign up to theoretically everyone has to sign up to it. but as in the european union usually is the case. there is always a workaround. now $25.00 countries, if slovenia doesn't really veto, but sort of just raise their voice and said, yeah, i have sympathy with the other $225.00. countries can get together at $24.00,

whatever. and sort of do a sort of the intergovernmental contract. they can raise the money at the financial markets together and they can do birds disperse the money together, which would then mean of course that poland and hungary would get zouk, nothing 0 out of this fund. do they really want that? i mean, the french government indicated, for instance, last night, something that they, they are quite incensed and they say, you know, if they don't play ball, we will just have to figure out how to do this for ourselves. and the 2 will be out by the door. this will sort of, of course increase existing fractures within the european union by poland and hungary are really playing hardball here and playing hardball was the interests of their fellow member states. and that is something that nobody really looks at any sympathy at all. and of course a database bob available in brussels, thank you. more than 8000 migrants arrived on spain's canary

island by boat from africa last month hoping to reach europe. human rights groups say they're being held in dying conditions, while local officials admit to being simply overwhelmed. the journey across choppy waters to the spanish items is treacherous. w.'s young for that show has been to gran canaria to see for himself. from here, journalists can go no further. some 2000 african migrants are being housed in this camp in the port of more gone on going to 5 times as many as was expected. aid groups are spoken of squalid conditions, but it's impossible for the w. news to find out. j. my son tyler now works for the island's refugee council. his colleagues have been inside the camp. but another minute everyone sleeps on the floor intensely in the openness of those who have been criticizing this from day one. but we didn't think it would get this bad of the 2300 people in the camp. and

then numbers are growing every day. 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 to 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 fia that they will soon be deported. so long for the fact that they're out there all by journalists are not welcome here either . g.w. news this told to leave in mid conversation, may know is angry at the spanish government, but also feels abandoned by the european union. has that

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 he got me good at the idea. 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's government, the central government and the european union, starting to shift responsibility for the situation to one another. the spanish government has now started to procure for of accommodation for the migrants. many fear that this housing will fill up before long. now,

before we go with a pandemic, of course isn't just affecting humans. the lives of many animals are also being disrupted, particularly those in captivity. meat ready, raise a 6 year old african penguin. her home is in the monterey bay aquarium in california, but because of corona virus restrictions, aids has been closed. so she has taken to exploring how hollow she was around following stuff. just like a human physicist, right, has discovered there's lots to say and some species must look good enough to eat. so she's clearly taking plenty of exercise work for one, a member of one of the smallest species of penguin. is, reminder of our top story at this hour u.s., secretary of state mike from part of his visit to the golan heights, disputed territory that israel annexed in 1967. he became the 1st, the top american diplomat to visit and he's ready settlements in the occupied west

bank. both visits represent major u.s. policy shifts towards the described region. that's it. you're up to date, out of the top, off the 19th special business of the the fight against the coronavirus pandemic has the rate of infection been developing. what does the latest research say? information and context around a virus update on t w from ghetto to her nose probably

despite coming from a poor family, the pops wants to become president. jesus god, this is credible story. starts december d.w. . out of all the coronavirus cases in the world. one out of every 5 years in the united states. despite hard lessons in the spring and restrictions over the summer infections, a still rising, new york city schools are closing today and students will be learning from hard. we have to do more to fight back this 2nd wave. so the state has made very clear additional restrictions are coming or putting more stringent measures in place. so we can get schools back up and running soon that we can protect new yorkers across

the board. so why is the u.s. an economic powerhouse struggling more than any other country in the world? total cases in the u.s. have passed, 11000000 of the 250000 have died, and a growing number of americans are uninsured. is it the fault of outgoing president, donald trump, and can incoming president joe biden clean up the mess on and company reports on the border with mexico, but no one is talking about the war anymore. the pandemic numbers are sorie. right now. we have about 241 cases. now, with about 45 days ago, we only had 30, but a lot of those people that you see going into these tents. they will wind up

have authorities are already arranging to move patients to other cities. if the hospitals become overwhelmed, planning for months of strain, there is already a backlog in dealing with the dead, referee generated morgues outside the hospitals serve as makeshift more terrorists . funeral homes in the past so are so overwhelmed that families sometimes have to wait a week to bury a loft. one funeral director sam selves are struggling to cope earlier in this race . is the level of stress is very high because it is not comparable to how it used to be. some months ago we had around 30 services per month. right now we're having around 18 of issues where the 2nd wave of the pandemic is not only hitting record numbers of people, many of whom could die. loko lockdowns in that battle to try and curb the spread are wreaking havoc a business. this is where the economic effects of the pandemic can most clearly be

seen. downtown el paso seems abandoned. also this restaurant wasn't able to keep most of itself. now the owner has to attempt a few clients himself. the current situation had a clear impact on his political decision. he voted for joe biden. i knew he could do better than donald trump, and i think we all hope the same. we hope for a different government that supports us. for some money of all works just around the corner for him, the presidential race is not over yet. north of baton is not going to be the president of the clinic or it's going to be donald trump. he feared his business might be hit by the pen demick, but now he has orders until july next year. republicans, he says, are good for the construction sector. despite his support for trump, he has his own opinion on covert 1900, specially after he tested positive. everyone is going to get the virus and we're

going to fill up the hospitals. testing is one of the crucial instruments to avoid to this problem may get cordy needs 10 testing centers in the past. so he works for a private company that is being paid by the state of texas. but his main concern in the pandemic is not political. i don't have fully knowledge of what joe biden is planning to do in his administration. but until now we haven't had any kind of difficulties with the current administration. i don't think it's a matter of resources. the main concern is how to communicate to the people what to do or not. supporters. biden supporters to different sides that seem to come together in the past. your hardest him joins us from the german institute for international and security affairs. he's in tallinn. so in your opinion, what went wrong in the world's top economy? well, there are 2 sets of factors,

i would say that went wrong. the 1st set has to do with the trumpet ministration. trump, himself wasn't very interested and listening to experts doing the right thing, trying to do the best job he can and mitigating the spread of the virus. and the other set of factors concerns, structural issues in the united states. the fact that they have a very unequal health care system. the fact that the welfare state is quite weak and quite fragmented, and lot of people don't receive welfare. and the 3rd factor is that they have federalism, and a lot of action is actually up to the states and their governors and not to the central government. i would say those are the main reasons why it didn't go so well in the united states. let's pick up on the 1st one of those then what, what effect did the alp going president play on the course of the viruses playing down of the virus? well i think we all are familiar with the press conferences that he gave late spring and early summer where he really just rattled and gave all kinds of

conflicting messages about what to do to fight the virus. and we also know that he gave an interview to bob woodward where he's where he warned off the rock virus already in early, early march. but then he played it down to the public because he didn't want to hurt the economy and the economy. and he wanted the stock market to do well. and i think the conflicting message, the fact that he didn't listen to experts, the fact that the people he appointed apart from the medical experts for the people he appointed on a political level were not the most competent ones. they all contributed to, to the bad response that didn't really help there and continue to virus. so how will the new president do things differently? i guess he's got a bit of a mr. clean up. right. i mean, joe biden already emphasize that. this is one of his main priorities. he's already appointed a council of advisors to fight and the pending. and this point he's kind of in

a bind because at the moment the virus release spreading rapidly and is kind of out of control. so i wouldn't expect him to fix the problem soon after he and his office on the 20th of january. i think it will be quite hard at this point to contain the virus. the people are tired of restrictions of lockdowns, and i'm afraid that's i think the solution will only come when vaccine is approved and rightly distributed. one positive in your study, you wrote these huge aid packages, helped stop poverty from growing in the u.s. . but that aids temporary. what now and what's that mean for americans? health. right. the for our aid packages that were passed by congress had a volume of over 2 trillion dollars and they actually did quite a lot to mitigate the economic damage of the pandemic. they provided a stimulus to the economy and they also helped simple people to make ends meet.

included in that was a $1200.00 check for every adult citizen below a certain income group. plus they actually extended unemployment aid and lifted unemployment $8.00 to $600.00 per week, which and 1st actually lowered the poverty rate despite the bad economy. poverty actually went down, but those measures expired at the end of july. and congress has not been able to agree on an extension. so i think that's also one thing that biden is going to try to do is get congress to, to pass another package. even if you are well off, you're not going to be spared from the coronavirus. i mean, if everyone else around you is in situation or affected by the vice. i mean the virus doesn't discriminate, right? the virus itself can hit anyone. and as we saw from the fact that even president contracted it, nobody is really safe. on the other hand,

the effects of the virus have been very, i'm equal 1st of all the u.s. health care system is equal to begin with. the quality of care varies a lot between regions and even within regions. the new york times found out that during the 1st wave of the pen damage in march, the death rate in the poor iraq areas of new york city was 3 times as high as and in the rich hospitals of manhattan. so the effects have really been on equal people are especially hit hard and even recently i read that there infection rate is or the hospitalization rate is 4 times higher than that of white people. virus itself doesn't discriminate, its effects can be very unequal and i'm equal thanks for joining us today. my pleasure and time for your questions on the coronavirus is derrick williams. what are the differences and similarities between flu and covert 19?

this is a regular question now that flu season is upon us in the northern hemisphere. but let's look at the similarities between the 2 diseases 1st starting with how they spread. which for both is mainly through droplets emitted when infected people cough or sneeze or talk with both respiratory diseases. people are also contagious before they begin to show symptoms themselves. and both can also have the same general path ology, at least at 1st. so many of the same symptoms, according to the u.s. centers for disease control, the overlap includes fever,, cough, shortness of breath, the t., sore throat, runny nose, muscle pain, and headache. so if you develop those symptoms, especially in combination, it's a good idea to get tested. finally, of course, both can kill you,

but that brings me to the 1st of the big differences i want to mention. coated 19 is a lot more likely to kill you than the flu, especially if you're elderly, or best. current estimates say between about $6.10 times more likely to get $1000.00. patients also appear to be contagious for longer than flu patients and more contagious than they would be if they had the flu, which, which isn't surprising really because for most of us, sars cove 2 is still a novel pathogen that our immune systems have never encountered before. most humans have encountered flu strains before and although they mutate rapidly, which means they can evade the immune system again and experts say to some extent that forewarned is forearmed. finally, although both diseases can cause serious complications like inflammation of the,

of the longs to the heart of the brain or other organs coded 19 seems to do it more often, which to at least some extent, explains why it's more deadly. see it tomorrow.

give us your country. people will make you rich people. oil will provide you with jobs. the oil will take good care of you at the point forever, too cold on the west coast. it's gone up into that 7 investors made big promises. but years later, reality looks very different pictures of drinking shortly

after you're gone, a stream of black gold. oil prices starts december 4th, show you this is dated news africa on the program today. see, i guess not grounds and on the streets of composite approaches, some grip uganda as the police of race presidential candidates will be watching just 2 months before the country supposed to be next. a new leader. and we have a report from south africa's cape flats that's a neighborhood in violent crime is. so granted, paramedics need a new sales force to respond to.
