the way in which people have overcome so many problems in the history of humankind, even now giving this plan to make every single one of us can actively contribute to getting us through this period. well, that's and a timely chief, political editor, michelle. a curse no caught up earlier with will make our lauterbach's. he's a member of parliament for germany's social democrats. he's also a public health expert and epidemiologist. so mr. a lot about you're also a medic. what's your assessment? will those measures be enough? i hope the measures will be enough. the measures we're talking about 3 weeks ago, work half as efficient as we expected them to work. so must do better this time. obviously, we've developed the most measures, you know, ways are too short to fit the challenge. but we will see in a couple of weeks listening to tell us america today in parliament, there was a tangible envy towards those states that have implemented a full lockdown and have that way just to get infection rates down again. do you

share that? don't share and fear as a matter of fact, the full lock on comes at a high price in the sink. what we have done, this is a circuit breaker shaft on the side of the lock on go to shut on as a matter of fact. and that is a measure that works reasonably, and we are so far, most of pandemic and the 2nd wave in my opinion appropriately. so i do not envy kant was which had to come up was with stricter measures, often taken to lead to we were very early in the field was a circuit breaker. how much of a calculated risk are those christmas exceptions where up to 10 people can gather? they are difficult to estimate or coakley risk? as a matter of fact, because they really look at the time frame from christmas and new year's eve. and this is a long period, so me,

well be that infection rates do not permit us to keep. so let's see measures that permit people to move more freely to keep source in place was a full period of time. is that there's also a lot of criticism, particularly from the far right a.f.d. party, that these measures go too far, that the damage done to the economy and to the health of children. for instance, through the measures is far greater than the damage to covered 19 itself. you must compare the damage which would have occurred in comparison to what we prevented and what would have occurred if we had not taken some measure of us. because we well beyond well beyond what we unfortunately had to accept in terms of let's say, side effects for the children. i regret the children side effects a lot. my own daughter, 14 years of age is basically at risk here. so we do as little as we need,

but we do what we need to do and lose the criticism. mostly, if he is not convincing, it is a populist criticism. no real hair in the pandemic. but all other parties i think are in one way or another. so are in agreement that we need to move so that we need to take care of christmas was, let's say, a couple of 100 people dying every day. that's too much call out about. thank you. very much argentina has declared 3 days of mourning for superstar footballer diego marin donna. he died on wednesday at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack. fans are paying their respects at the presidential palace in one of the ira's where marathoners body is lying in state. the crowds have been gathering outside with police struggling to contain the large numbers of people. many considered marathoners to be the best player there ever was. but his life,

was going through detox, but marathoner suffered a heart attack. the magical and talented marathoner will now receive a state funeral fitting for one of the greatest footballers. if not the greatest of all time i was and just how many lives marriage on a touched became abundantly clear in the hours immediately after news of his death broke thousands of stunned football fans in argentina, spain and italy poured onto the streets to honor and celebrate their late idol were were the celebration of the life to honor the death of a hero. sizings of fans gathered at the obelisk in buenos aires in commemoration of the 5th ball. great boy, but it is a very sad. i have no words to describe such pain. i think people as some

a love story out there said, god is dead. the legend of marriage donna is global and he was a superstar. he was truly great and he is especially remembered in the cities where he played like barcelona, right when i came to visit since i was born, maradona was always a presence. he was a god for the whole world in a fishbowl, or he was the best of the best bar in naples with the fans. and won't forget the 2 italian championships. they won, gerry maradona time in their city, but out with the money. this is a sign that we will hold up all over his death has rocked the world

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 of what is there east. and then there was merit on the america. that was the star of the cross that wiped out on the beach. that's when barrett on the show on that that was a, it was the same person, but it was a different individual. that was the one blessed with talent. in short, a wonderfully bright light on the world. 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 and appropriate because bridges for border over

time. it's wonderful personality is possessive, maybe god sprinkled a little special dust on him before you know kind of but he really was unique talent. and i talk about diego, he was a lovely soul to just got a bit lost when he couldn't still reach the heights. physically, you believe, could he work 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 can secure a place of 7 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 writing because he was such

a lovely go. i read about a lot of people with low voices in his is so yeah, we do. it was difficult to manage all of that. you drove the streets of pulls and there was huge pictures of jesus from hanging from buildings and huge pieces because jesus hanging next to jesus that they would see a good bit of his picture. it's, you know, when you've got all of the tree, it's just a cool. it's about a salute. pleasure, a privilege to have been part of a very unique person to us. what kind of legacy is he going to leave behind? i think history will be calling to him. i think if you look at me yesterday for me was a kind of joke that and moment you know, john lennon had many destructors when he was alive. many so obviously as well. and diego, similar the has many destructors, but i think to tell it well and the fact that he was, or it was all him bracing what actually be a strong will there you see,

this trial in the capital ankara has taken plays in one of took easily largest a court rooms. it's a very high profile trial that has been going on for more than 3 years. you mentioned the number of defendants here, nearly 500 defendants. most of them members, former members of the turkish military army commandos pilots, but also several civilians accused of being so cold ringleader's. now, all of the defendants were trials for direct involvement in the coup attempt in july 26th, seen a very traumatic event for turkey, 250 people died back then when rogue soldiers attacked state institutions with war planes and helicopters, and tangs and sort to take control and oust the government of a president to add on himself off to this road to go off to the perpetrators which he labeled
