president clinton's challenge isn't going to do is force the credible story of bob. you want in store to do some protests on g.w. ., this is day that we news m.v.s., our top stories, argentina and football fans around the world are mourning. the death of diego maradona, the legendary player and coach, died after a heart attack at his home. when osiris he was 60 years old, madonna won numerous titles and honors in his career. he captained the argentina team that won the 1986 world cup. german chancellor angela merkel has announced that restrictions designed to battle. the coronavirus will be tightened

and extended into the new year. the restrictions will be temporarily eased over christmas. the number of new cool 1000 cases is no longer rising sharply, but daily deaths have surged to a record high. if you o.p.'s prime minister has asked the international community not to interfere in the conflict in his country's region, his government has warned the region's leaders to surrender or face an assault on their capital. cities hundreds have already been killed in the government offensive, and many others displays. you're watching news from berlin, follow us on twitter or instagram at news, or visit our website, w dot com for almost a month, a partial lockdown has been in effect for all of germany,

the restrictions they've helped to slow down the rate of new corona, virus infections, but not enough on tuesday, the number of coated 1000 deaths in one day hit a record high here in germany, and that may be enough to justify a tougher lock down. for weeks the government justified the restrictions this way. you were doing it to save christmas. tonight, the government's message may be, we're doing this to save your lives. i'm burnt off in berlin. this is the day. whatever the roots out, he can have a nice time with the family. i have the one between, but this is the same. no rushing around. no wasting money, nobody drunk all over the place. its great stuff will not follow you is to play with it to stay healthy, the ghetto. so many people have died as a result of it. they can stay shots. i don't mind that includes

counseling and drinking 2 or 3 mulled wine set at christmas market. and that's when the buyers can really get busy. then also coming up the pandemic forced many people to stay at home for weeks or months at a time. and that has had violent consequences for women and girls. is the world doing enough to protect them? it's not enough to punish only violence to end than death. you know, we have to focus on psychological aggression on these because if we are only going to react when women are 10 and it's too late to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with more pandemic deaths and more pandemic restrictions here in germany. on november 2nd,

a nationwide partial lockdown went into effect here at the time the government said closing bars, restaurants and gyms was necessary to stop the exponential growth. in new coronavirus cases breaks the chain of inspections and flatten the curve. and that has happened somewhat. the virus is not spreading exponentially anymore, however, the virus is killing at unprecedented levels. tuesday's record daily death toll has triggered a warm here in germany. why is this happening now? 3 weeks into a lockdown will a tougher lock down? reduce the mortality rate. there's going to be naturally some position, it's nationally to happen, but it is what it is. you know it's, there's no policy that's ever going to be 100 percent approved. i believe. i think, i mean, i don't understand why restriction would be east to christmas. perhaps one should stick to them, but i also see what happens with people when they don't know me unhappy. so i can't

say much about it, but i just talk about it because i also see how it is in hospitals. that's where i work. yes, it's sad not to celebrate christmas as usual, but how out of the measures taken are important and necessary and there's also a skype. so is see i for more now i want to bring in dr. max a 1000000 and he's an epidemiologist working on the covert. 19 team it. germany's sure it's a hospital doctor, it's good to have you on the show. on tuesday, germany recorded its highest daily death toll since the pandemic began. do we know why the virus is claiming more lives? now? i fear it is as easy as it is. we're seeing more cases, so we have to see more deaths. possibly we also see more cases in the most vulnerable groups. so we see more people dying. now, and we have to consider that these people are dying now. they got infected 4 weeks

ago or more. so possibly when we have to face increasing numbers, also in the coming weeks, what needs to happen to prevent the mortality rate from increasing? i think the same what we did over the past months, what we should do better reduce transmission, increase health and education, increase testing capacities and protect the most vulnerable groups of the population. tomorrow is thanksgiving in the united states. people are traveling despite the centers for disease control, advising everyone to stay home. and there is fear that this holiday could become a super spreader event. in the u.s. here in germany, the coronavirus restrictions they could be eased during christmas. what is the advice from public health experts such as yourself could christmas create a new wave of infections here in germany come january i

think we have to take it serious that this is possibly the date of the year when young people meet grandparents so many of the more vulnerable age groups and cells have to consider testing, seeing less person on christmas. try to take a karen time period before the christmas day is least a week. and we should have better access to read the tests directly before the days to christmas days. let me ask you the german chancellor. she has said that stopping the exponential growth of corona virus cases, the spread has only been partially successful when you take that and you add to the

fact that we know that a vaccine is on the way. are you worried that in the new year we're going to see cases go up again because people are going to let down their guard now we should consider the vaccine as a christmas gift, but we would all have it ready for christmas and also not very early in there,, in the new e.u. we need millions of billions of people to be vaccinated over the next year. and therefore, there's no way out of the stink out for reducing context and transmission. dr. maximillian, joining us tonight from the show read today here in germany, dr. get we appreciate your time, your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. the

transition to a joe biden presidency in the u.s. is exhilarating. on wednesday, the president elect was notified that beginning next monday he will receive the daily security briefing prepared exclusively for the president. president trump continues to reject the results of the election. the election that he lost on the international stage. china has now joined other leaders in congratulating biden on his win. she's in ping's message to biden included a wish for both nations to establish a win win cooperation. and this week biden announced his picks to fill the top foreign policy and national security jobs. in his administration,, they included the veteran diplomat, tony blinken, nominated to become u.s., secretary of state. now, we have to proceed with equal measures of humility and confidence, humility. because as the president said,

we can't solve all the world's problems alone. we need to be working with other countries, we need their cooperation. we need their partnership. but also confidence. because america at its best, still has a greater ability than any other country on earth to bring others together to meet the challenges of our time. or blink ins, words should be music to the ears of european leaders and diplomats for the past 4 years, president trump attacked an alienated america's allies. that helped germany and france. find common ground on the topic of defense, for example, but well that all be forgotten. now that, and i'm quoting the president elect, now that america is back, want to discuss the impact of the new old us foreign policy here in europe. i'm joined tonight by yana pigmy. anyone with the european council of foreign relations, it's good to have you on the program. we know there is delight in berlin and paris

with biden's foreign policy plans. how much dread is there? well, i think looking forward to engage with the new at midspan. and it's also confident to find a compromise with paris to come up with some things back if european offer for the americans. because i think there is broad consensus that we cannot just wait and sit and kind of fight about the concept of strategic autonomy. but not really come up with concrete ideas, how to improve the relationship and what the europeans can bring to the table. we know that donald trump, he alienated america's european allies, and at the same time, he drove them towards each other. like never before, didn't he? yes, and the one hand he did at the other, i think that rift in the transatlantic relationship is always also

a rift within europe. just look at the reactions and sensitivities in europe to the trump presidency, and it was brought up through full of holes in the baltic states and several times that they felt much more secure even under obama, that they didn't see the problem that lots. and i think that the french president, very often kind of pretends that he speaks on behalf of europe, but never with europe. so i think that yes, we have seen some progress. but also i think the europeans are really alliance on kind of the idea of strategic autonomy are some friends. i want you to take a listen to what germany's defense minister said this week the incoming us administration office and big opportunity for something at the same time. we have to face up to the fact that our capabilities he was in europe still don't match up to our own ambitions that's still in the same book called the

percent faster we fix spent building up our own abilities. the more we will be a serious partner for the united states, and they think on this inside. and that's regardless if he's president, even off to joe biden, that it's a president and his rock. now if i were a betting man, i would bet that the defense minister who we just saw there, i would bet that her position will soften and change significantly. moves biliary and where would you put your money? i would put german banks are actually spinning that now. i mean, would you agree with me that the german defense minister's position is going to soften and change significantly now that we have a different u.s. president? well, i think that a weapon relationship with the pentagon has been not so bad, even under the trump presidency. and i think that the driver, defense minister,

i think, to come caccamo as a, dyed in the wool and transatlantic sis and really wants to make that relationship. we're actually emphasizes all the time that there is no european security without the u.s. commitment. and she thinks that we need to step up significantly in order to keep the americans on board. and i agree with her. and i think she has been heard from emphasizing this and also pushing the banks. and that's what spending more and also emphasizing the need that yeah, that we cannot just continue to treat right as we did in the past. yeah. when it comes to defense, france has its own nuclear arsenal. and you can imagine france surviving without the u.s. security umbrella. germany on the other hand, has no nuclear weapon. can you imagine germany in a nato without the u.s. security guarantee? i think there, if you touch those free europe, i think the u.s.

presence in her own eyes, infector and it takes the action. that's an internal even if the burdens of the past. so i think that the american presence not only to charity, but also politically contribution significantly to our security to charity. we cannot replace the united states is that germany doesn't have nukes and has no plans to quiet them. so for us, nato and the e.u. remain us the backgrounds of our foreign policy, and nato especially remains the backbone of european security for jenny. young me have been with the european council on foreign relations, mr. leader, and we appreciate your time in your insights tonight. thank you. the united nations is calling it the shadow pandemic. the number of coronavirus

infections increased, so did violence against women and girls in the south american country, peru. the disturbing why women and girls was a fact long before the pandemic. and yet just one percent of the abuse cases reported the conviction. women say the country's justice system is failing. one performer and teacher was 20 years old. she was raped by a theatre instructor using the excuse of helping her to explore art. he made her remove her clothing and then assaulted her. he did the same with 16 other students. for 3 years, the group has been fighting to have the man prosecuted. despite the allegations, the peruvian justice system concluded there was not enough evidence get a letter saying that your case of sexual abuse was closed due to lack of evidence.

it makes you listen again and believe what you were told the 1st time. you made the accusation that you're lying, that you're doing it to get attention and that your life is not worth it in the way in peru, gender violence affects also show classes equally. as experience inspired these 2 books, she's a television presenter and also a victim of gender violence. her attacker was her former partner, her case is still waiting to be resolved this. impunity is like a cancer that eats you up and kills you. because it doesn't allow things to change, it's not enough to punish only violence the ends in death. we have to focus on that slap that we have to focus on psychological aggression.

because if we are only going to react when women are dead, it's too late. yes them in peru, 66 percent of women have reported being victims of violence are not to contraire us is pushing the parliament to address the issue today, a member of congress. she was brutally attacked by her ex-boyfriend. now she promotes an agenda to end the violence inflicted by the state itself. institutional violence it see that going to situational violence is violence perpetrated by state agents through the justice system. for example, police officers, prosecutors judges, and medical examiners. i just doesn't look, there are many cases of people who report violence means that at the time of reporting, their review the mines to blame and then subject it to more violence. we're

seeing there have been cases in which the police have accused a victim. and this victim has ended up being victimized again and again. and i mean to beat him at the payment of the $60000.00 accusations of abuse against women reported in peru this year. less than one percent lead to convictions. this palace of justice, instead of offering impartiality in laos, impunity. i want to cross over to new york city. i'm joined by a needed by c issues, the deputy executive director of the united nations body. you women, it's good to have you on the program. we just saw this report from peru where 2 thirds of women say they've been subject to violence. how does parun compare with the rest of the world? look, the rest of the world is not doing that way either. when you look at the data on violence against women, we know that at least 35 percent of women globally have been subjected at some

point to the other 2 by limbs. and we know that on average, about 150 women die every day from violence. so peru is not alone in having staggeringly large numbers and large incidents of violence against women. do we know where our women most likely to be confronted with and subjected to violence? unfortunately, it's the place where you might think they would be safest, which is at home. domestic violence is the largest part of violence against women, but of course, women can be attacked on the streets, you know, at work and on the internet. so violence has many ways of making itself felt. and in this pandemic, i know we've been shocked numerous times reporting on the fact that these lockdowns, which have forced families to stay at home,

have exacerbated the problem of violence against women. i mean, what's your read in this? i mean, did you expect the pandemic to be violent for women and girls? well look to those of us who are in the business of dealing with violence against women and on the issues of gender equality, have known for a long time that there was this shadow pandemic. and in fact, it's a public health crisis that just isn't treated as one. and so we knew that there were very large numbers of women who were subject to violence even before the pandemic, or what the bendemeer did was it created the perfect conditions for abuse. because women were at home were forced to stay at home for medical reasons. and oh, there perpetrators were at home. so we saw this exists, tarnishing spike in cases. but i guess the silver lining is that it led to a lot of people actually being able to speak about it, including heads of state and government who came out and talked about this almost

for the 1st time as a major public policy issue. perhaps this is the pandemic, has it changed the way you go about battling violence against women and girls? i think what it's done is it has created a sense of urgency. the secretary general of the u.n. issued a call asking for a cease fire at home. and asking for an end to violence against women. i'm happy to say 146 countries actually answered the astri's call. we had un women put out policy briefs and documentation showing just how widespread the abuse is. and that has created some momentum for action. of course, you know, all of those though, of the rubble is going to hit the road. when we see whether countries actually implement some of the things they talk about. you know, i mean, you say 146 countries answered the call, but very have to do more than that,

right. would you describe the global efforts at the moment as, as satisfactory our, you know, i think more needs to be done. i think we need to see more financing go to words this issue. governments need to follow through and not just make lofty statements and global public arena as they need to make sure that budget resources that allocated to words. those that are essential services for survivors are kept alive and are funded as essential services. businesses need to step are this is the whole of society effort. it can't just be done by governments, but they do have a disproportionately important role to play. anita, see you're with the un women and this much here. we appreciate your time tonight, and since you are in the u.s.,

let me take this opportunity to wish you a happy and healthy thanksgiving tomorrow. thank you. thank you so much. thank you so much and the same to you. thank you. he is considered one of the greatest soccer players ever to have graced the pitch and he is with us no more. died on wednesday of an apparent heart attack. he was 60, was revered around the world, his defining moment when he captained argentina to world cup victory against west germany. in 1906, maradona had been in poor health, but his death has stunned the football or the moment which divided the football world. a goal only diego maradona could conjure up spectacular, controversial with his left fist on a produced one of football's most iconic scenes at the 1986 world cup. he single

handedly knocked england out of the tournament with his hand of god, and then went on to late to victory in the final against west germany, a villain to some a hero to others, particularly among his passionate compadres. prior to that peak at the age of 26, maradona had already lived an intense life. born in 1960, he grew up with his 7 siblings in via fiorito, a pool neighborhood in the southern suburbs of born a sari, as he crafted his way to professional football, making his debut for continuous juniors at the age of just 16. following a spell with book a genius maradona arrived at barcelona. in 1982 day he began to conquer and captivate europe with his magical left. it was 2 years later he landed in naples where he achieved god like status up to leading nutley to the club's 1st. ever syria title and the cup and marathon as legend was then cemented

with argentina's world cup win in mexico. in 1906, alcohol and cocaine would later tank his footballing career. donna hung up his boots at his beloved bucket, juniors in 1997, retirements, all marriage on a full on tough times obesity, drug addiction, trouble with the law and increasing stays in hospital. in 2000, he was on the verge of death. but after a successful detox, which included a long stay in fidel castro's cuba donna returned to the public spotlight. this time in politics where he supported the latin america left at every opportunity. in 2008, smerdon a made a spectacular return to the football pitch. this time as coach of the argentine national team, he took charge in the dug out for 2 years, which ended in defeat against germany at the 2010 world cup quarterfinals in south africa. from there he continued battling health issues and taking on coaching roles,

he passed through the united arab emirates and mexico. before i return to argentina, plata for many football supporters. marathoner is the best player of all time to his adoring fans. he was a key into a god in his death, his legend will live on a terminally well the day is almost done, the conversation continues online. you'll find us on twitter news or you can follow, me at t.v. . and if you're watching us from the u.s., let us be the 1st to wish you a happy and healthy thanksgiving. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody
