oh, boy thomas, who starts december 4th this is, do you know any news live from berlin? german chancellor angela merkel issues a warning. she tells parliament the number of covert 19 cases and debts is too high and that restrictions must be tightened and may have to continue well into next year. and also coming up tina and millions of football fans around the world pay tribute to diego maradona $1.00 of the world's greatest football. as he's died

unexpectedly. we look at the ups and downs of his life on and off the pitch, plus in a theo pierre, the prime minister, orders the army to begin what he's calling the final phase of his offensive against the northern take right region. i'm rebecca ritas. welcome to the program. german chancellor angela merkel has warned that the country faces tough months ahead. as it battles the coronavirus pandemic. she told the parliament that measures to curb its spread may well be extended into next year. she also said more restrictions were necessary as of next month, because although the rate of infections has stabilised, it remains at a high level and the number of deaths as reached a record high we're standing by for us at the

german parliament is our chief political editor, he was, of course, listening to the chancellor's speech. mahela angela merkel there. she's outlined in the extended lockdown measures. and she's also outlined the reasoning for that. what was the main message that she wanted to get across it was twofold. 1st of all that more effort was needed, that this lock down light that we've seen in recent weeks simply wasn't enough to get back to a downward trend in new infections above 20000. today, she described it as a sidewards development that simply wasn't sufficient. at the same time, she was trying to be upbeat, she said it would be a very difficult winter, but there were that there would be a time after that and quite clearly got the impression that she hoped for much tougher restrictions than she actually extracted out of her state premiers in that key meeting last night where they sat together for 7 hours to discuss both what

tougher measures are needed, but also how much leeway there would be over the christmas period. and that means that going into this christmas shopping period. that's also very vital for the german economy. there would be news restrictions in place. one customer is allowed every 20 square metres 2025 rather in shopping areas. at the same time, schooling could be affected if there is a kind of red line crossed. now that's been defined, 200 infections, 410-0000 people per 7 days, that's the new red line that was just defined, but some leeway over christmas and over are once again a shift and an appeal towards people taking individual responsibility. let's listen to what she said. she was going to say very clearly, this is up to us. we're not powerless. without any doubt,

we have difficult months ahead of us. but the way in which people have overcome so many problems in the history of humankind. even during this pandemic, every single one of us can actively contribute to getting us through this period of well over chancellor angela merkel addressing these how did her remarks go down with her colleagues in the understand well, she does have a large majority behind. concerning those latest measures put into place with one exception, and that's the largest opposition party in the germ in this talk here that the far right if the party is stopped short of denying that covered 19 is actually taking place, but it sees it more as a serious cold, nothing. that is a life threatening epidemic and vital. the co-chief whip basically accused the

government of having caused more damage to the covered 19 measures. then actually covered 19 has been able to do both to the german health, but also to the economy itself. i'm going to mark will cain well prepared. she said with some 27000000 people about a 3rd of the population seen as a risk group. they simply couldn't be locked away and told to stay home, that this is also a humanitarian question and something that has a lot to do with how coherent how society actually closes ranks behind this crisis . now there was one point that proved pretty controversial with neighboring countries, and that was under michael suggestion to close the ski resorts. what more can you tell us about that? well, we're just in the early days of that proving controversy, of course germany has the e.u. presidency until the end of the year. and there was a quite clear message here that an american will try and get all e.u. countries behind closing ski resorts at least into january. she already recognized

that that would be a difficulty particular talking with austria, austria, of course being probably the main skiing area in europe here. a lot hinges on that . in austria itself, we're seeing much more of an effort of the drive to solve this question by getting fast testing on track rather than closing ski resorts. so clearly some tough talks to be had in brussels over those next steps ahead. that chief political editor, thanks very much and much of the world is hoping the coronavirus crisis will. and when the vaccines announced over the last 2 weeks are finally made available. and number of countries say they expect to start vaccinating the most vulnerable groups by the end of this year. as tests of walter reports, the logistical challenge of ensuring that everyone gets a shot is enormous. it can accommodate $12000.00 people. the velodrome and berlin is usually a sports and concert hall that now become

a is to set up one of $6000000000.00, a nation centers. here. of course, if you snore for it is hard to imagine it. so i built this lego model to get a better idea. this is where the x. a nation happens. these are the 5 cubicles where those receiving the vaccine get ready and have their medical history taken beforehand. 15 of these will be set up here. but what is the biggest challenge in setting up the vaccination center's list of all the biggest challenges to finish construction by mid december? the other challenge is planning the logistics not only for the vaccine itself but also for the people perceiving it. who will have to come here? almost a 1000000, vaccinations are to be given in berlin alone during the 1st 6 weeks. that's around 20000 the day. a lot of medical staff will be needed for this. it is hoped that

doctors volunteer to help, but they are already extremely occupied enough. i'm busy from morning to night. at my practice, i ensure that all patients receive care. i can't suddenly say that i'll close the practice or only come 2 days a week and help out at the vaccination center on the other days. and it will probably be the same for all the general practitioners. but not only are doctors needed assistance and nurses who take care of registration and that ministration. poor cuttable, who's responsible for organizing this stuff, says finding the personnel will be difficult. we will have to request help from other aid organizations, the armed forces and hospitals in order to find the stuff to minister or that explanations. because we're not talking about a few 1000 vaccinations we are talking about millions

it is hoped the centers will be open by mid december. but a lot of work to go into making that happen. let's take a closer look at some of these challenges and for that we're joined by professor mathias klump. he's a health care logistics expert with the front of institute in getting in germany. professor, thanks for joining us. we just heard about some of the challenges of getting people vaccinated him in berlin. we're actually talking about a vaccine for billions of people worldwide. practically, how is this going to work? you know, you're better prepared for this situation. thank you for the question. the cost has to be differentiated between the global perspective and a national perspective. so for germany, international setting, we're expecting no major glitches or problems because the infrastructure and people involved are already well trained and prepared in a global perspective. this is very much difference over how 1st messages that, for example, from south africa companies and people expect every major hurdles and problems for

distribution. yeah, we did, we say that germany's very well prepared. it does have good infrastructure, but as we saw in the report, we need extra help. i mean, how is germany preparing for this task? i think the crucial understanding is that preparation is centrally into specific states in the letter and also broken down to cities. their communities like the example we saw from berlin. so this is done very decent, really. and this makes us very robust. so we expect no major problems because the central distribution will be handled by a specific trucks and planes. very centrally organized. but then the application of the scene will be very much the central. and this is a success principle, be used very much in the just takes that it's not only one decision maker, not only one company, but it's very decentralized and therefore we expect no major problems in germany.

that sounds pretty positive, but now we know that the most promising vaccine, so findings to be kept at extremely cold temperatures. is that going to be the biggest challenge? it will be a big challenge regarding the major transport line from the production facility near frankfurt to de centralized positions in berlin, in munich, and other kind of cities. so therefore, the major thing, but we can't prepare for that because you have to imagine from this central production near frankfurt, derby bones $10.00 to $15.00 trucks per day going out to the country. so this is not a major transport undertaking. it's very much prepared and time for work and then to do central distribution like with the centers in berlin, for example. and the doctors, this will be done very small, positive, very small units. and they don't have to be kept at these low temperatures. because for the last 24 hours, you can keep the vaccine at a minus 2 degrees right,

professor at mit. thank you very much for time. thank you. a turkish court has handed down dozens of life sentences for some of the nearly 500 defendants accused of carrying out an attempted coup in 26, tame. many of those sentenced for mommy commanders and pilots, they were convicted of crimes including murder and attempting to overthrow the constitution. the massive trial is one of 2 cases against suspected members of a network, allegedly allegedly operated by a u.s. base cleric fetter legoland, who orchestrated the failed. here are some of the other stories making headlines this hour. iran has frayed a british, a straight, an academic serving a 10 year prison sentence for allegedly spying collymore gilbert was arrested more than 2 years ago. attending a conference in the city of home,

thanks for joining us. you represented maryland on a from 197-9900, you're in the height of his career. what kind of person was he? a lovely young man. i mean the suit we talked about some of the last 24 hours. obviously it went to the american owners. there was diego and my, my close to him for a few years. that situation to be changed. he was the little boy still from the suburbs of the slums, actually when it varies. and then there was a marriage on a marathon that was the star of the cross that wiped out on the beach. that's when barron's on the show that that was a, it was the same person, but it was a different individual. that was the one blessed with talent, and shown a wonderfully bright light on the world's all. and then he became diego, again when that changed. and when that finished, really for him at the end of his playing career,

that shining light that you speak of is that a reason you think that he was so loved? not just in argentina about way ever he played yeah. the talent was exceptional in my home program because greatest football over time. it's wonderful personalities. possess, if you call it, sprinkled a little special dust on it before you know, but he really was unique talent. and i talk about the young diego. he was a lovely soul to just got a bit lost when he couldn't still reach the heights physically that he could. he worked very hard to keep that physicality going for some years. and then when he couldn't. and we talk about geniuses for just a few. i don't know that many geniuses that all 3 or i guess when they've achieved so much, it's difficult to keep yourself in that particular and secure place and so on. and

that's when things got a little difficult for. yeah, of course. i mean, there were some documents after his career, but also during his career i am as his agent, how did you try to manage that? very difficult because he was always running because he was such a lovely guy surrounded by a lot of people with a lot of voices in his is so yeah, we do. it was difficult to manage all of that. you drove the streets of naples and there were huge pictures of jesus from hanging from buildings and huge pieces as big as jesus hanging next to jesus. and they would be a good paradigm. has pictures. it's, you know, when you've got a dollar the tree, it's difficult to manage, but absolute pleasure and a privilege to have been part of a very unique person's life. what kind of legacy is he going to leave behind? i think history will be kind to him. i think if you look at, i mean yesterday for me was a kind of john lennon moment. you know that john lennon had many destructors when

he was alive and then he obviously is as well. and diego similarly has many destructors, but i think talent will out, and the fact that he or it was all him bracing what actually be a strong and eternal john. thank you so much for sharing your experiences with don. and john smith for my agent, married him if the o.p.'s prime minister abu ahmed says, the army has been ordered to move on the capital of the northern region, in what he's calling the final phase of the offensive some half a 1000000 residents of the capital. michaela has been want to stay indoors. the move comes just hours after an ultimatum expired for regional leaders to surrender to the central government. the u.n. is warning, it's running low on essential supplies for the nearly 1000000 people who've been displaced by the conflicts. piece baby boy is just 2 weeks old. the newborn doesn't

and migrants the focus of his work. when fire broke out at the camp in moria, he headed there i remember the exhaustion and the fear in their eyes. but i also saw hope their morea would finally be over and it would finally get better. like the day after the fire, one of the girls i photographed the 12 year old manager from afghanistan, had organized a protest march made up, we never got at 1st, there were just 20 other children, but then the march will be bigger. our people just wanted off the i was very close with ya, because of mcafee boredom of ellen o'gallagher, the photographer is a kind of the anchor for some here, like masha also from afghanistan. you see by this masses will be for free, you up in a bomb. and when i told her that i'd be leaving again in a few days, she suddenly turned to me and said, before you leave,
