aker carr lauterbach's, he's a member of parliament for germany, social democrats, and he's also a public health expert. and this is what he told her. so mr. a lot about. you're also a medic. what's your assessment? will those measures be in hopes the measures will be enough? the measures we've talked about 3 weeks ago, work half as efficient as we expected them to work saw. we must do better this time . obviously, we've developed the most measures, you know, ways or to short fit the challenge. but we will see in a couple of weeks listening to tell us americans today in parliament, there was a tangible envy towards those states that have implemented a full lockdown and have that way managed 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, but a shot on as

a matter of fact, that is a measure that works reasonably and we are so far minister pandemic is a 2nd wave in my opinion appropriately. so i do not envy kant was which had to come up was with stricter measures, often taken, tooley, we were very early and 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 calculate risk as a matter of fact, because you really look at the time frame from christmas to new year's eve, and this is a long period, so it may well be that infection rates do not permit us to keep. so let's measure us that permit people to move more freely to keep source in place was a full period of time is unclear. there's also

a lot of criticism of the ticking from the far right if the party that these measures go too far, that the downloads dong 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 prevent it and what would have occurred if we had not taken some measures. because we well beyond well beyond what we unfortunately had to accept in terms of the 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 the criticism, mostly, if the is not going vinci, it is a populist criticism. no real hairpins, a pandemic, but all other parties are seeing in one way or another. so in agreements that we

need to move that we need to take care of christmas was, let's say, a couple of 100 people dying every day. that's too much a lot about. thank you very much. while the announcement this month of 3, vaccines said to be highly effective, has raised hopes around the world at the end of the pandemic is within reach. a number of countries say they expect to start vaccinating the most vulnerable people by the end of this year. but what does that mean in practice? w. has been looking at the logistical challenges behind delivering millions of doses from the production line to the general population. it can accommodate $12000.00 people. the velodrome and berlin is usually a sports and concert hall. but now i but i have become a, is to set up one of 6. poland acts a nation of centers here of commons. if you have 4, it is hard to imagine it. so i build this lego model to get a better idea. this is what 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 centers? 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 receiving. it will have to come here. almost a 1000000 vaccinations are to be given and the in 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 am 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 administration. poor cattle, who's responsible for organizing this stuff, says finding the personnel will be difficult. and give us little 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 for them. it is hoped the centers will be open by mid december, but a lot of work will go into making that happen. 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 season of the offensive or some half

of war. in this hospital, people wait for hours before receiving treatment. like i got it. she, her baby and her father escaped the war in the town of matter. what i was afraid because the bombs kept falling for 3 days. we just left without money, without clothes. it took 10 days to come here. and now we here in sudan. we've been in this scam for 3 days. we don't have any shelter. well, you can use him as a moment. her father has terminal cancer since they got out he hasn't received his medication. the u.n. refugee agency is bracing for more refugees. crossing the border from ethiopia. people need very thing from water, food,

. all right, let's get you more on this story. you want to take you now, to istanbul, to our correspondent there, dorian jones, dorian, what more can you tell us about the trial? well, this is the climax of what literally been hundreds of cold cases. in the aftermath of the failed coup attempt, $500.00 defendants were seanie of former military officials, including the chief of the air force i can burst took. and there were 4 civilians who prosecutors claim with the ringleaders of his military takeover. they, the prosecutors say belong to the supporters of the truly good man who lives in self-imposed, exile in the united states. he too, was on trial and sent here and was also convicted civilians, along with the senior military officers. all received aggravated life sentences, which means they are in eligible for parole and will spend their life in solitary confinement. also

a number of the pilots who were convicted of bombing the parliament to receive life sentences. this is all to, to do with this failed military takeover, which over 250 people were killed, 2000 people injured, which you also saw not only the parliament being bombed repeatedly, but also the presidential palace and the turkish president reject type one narrowly escaped being captured while on vacation in the south of turkey leaving his hotel only 15 minutes before military officers arrived and also support the government's line that putin and his followers in support of this is just the scale of this. this crackdown is leading to growing concern that it is talking, being the opponent to the government rather than just couldn't supporters and those involved in the coup. the government argue that you learn and his network of developed a very sophisticated and dangerous organization that has infiltrated the so if you state them to take society and need such many measures. so one did buy into this

line initially with one very rare unison unification of turkey's beat. deep divide in the aftermath of coup, which is now seen increasingly, critics of oppose the government being jailed, including journalists and also leading members of the kurdish movement as increasingly leading to concerns of as uses a takeover. an opportunity to silence codes of his rule reporting from istanbul. thank you. and to other news. now argentina has declared 3 days of mourning for superstar footballer diego maradona. he died on wednesday at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack, while tens of thousands of people have gathered in central ground outside us outside the presidential palace where maradona lies in state. huge crowds are expected to pay their respects over the next 3 days, asking the wooden casket drakes with argentina's flag and jerseys with maradona's

number 10, while many considered metadata to be the best player of all time. and just how many lives martin touched became abundantly clear in the hours immediately after the 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 celebration of life. to honor the death of a hero, ties into fans, gathered at the obelisk and when his aires, in commemoration of the football great a very sad, i have no words to describe such pain. i think the boy who has some love for their set got his day at the legend of marriage. ana is global

victorians, local star gears, and he was a superstar. he was truly great in gloucester years. and he is especially remembered in the cities where he played like barcelona michel when i came to visit enough to know him just well. you know, 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. who are in naples with the fans and won't forget the 2 italian championships. they won. gerry maradona's time in their city on ground 0 with the money. but this is a sign of that we will hold up all over nicolas. his death has rocked the world to fit ball. tributes are flooding in from the sport's biggest stars, including one from his compatriot and successor,

lionel messi. even the vatican has expressed condolences to the pope francis gold, who is all so i just to me and i didn't football lover himself, had met marijan on many occasions. he has a former football player and his prayer is remembering him with affection. the rest of the world is following suit. while someone who got up close and personal with the legend himself is jimmy burns author of the book, the hand of god, the life of diego maradona, a very warm welcome. most are great to have you on. now you wrote in your book that the only certainty about that is that when he dies, no matter how he dies his funeral. and when osiris will be as big as a veto's, and even then the people won't believe that he's dead. why do you think he is so revered around the world? well, i would sort of qualify that the reference around the world. we've heard very enthusiastic

ripples just then. i mean, he's definitely revered in the spanish speaking world, particularly in argentina, obviously. and the reason for that is, is that it argentines, a very nationalistic, but they also have one person at arjun time that everyone has heard of up and a group of revolutions doing a marathoner probably an argument that the grace of for a little time. and now that he's dead that and really want to make a big show of it. i mean, when i sort of predicted years ago that it would end up like a beaten peron. i mean it's a very emotional country. it's a very irrational country. and i mean, several european forwards, including patente in france and various english were all present sort of said, well, we wouldn't imagine having a 3 day state funeral for any you awful foreigners. and the fact is that, you know, the europeans don't cite a different, you know, but you know, we have what we have,

which is this legend. this is kind of extraordinary character, bigger than life in a way when he, when he was around. and definitely will continue as a kind of big knife and myth. let's not forget, he was a man of certainly 2 to different stories. one, the great genius on the pitch, and off the pitch. a complete disaster in, in human terms. not nice because it was in a demons and the external demons of drugs and alcohol abuse, which, which impacted a lot on, on people who knew him not reese's famine. it was that's, people kept rooting for him. despite the torment, personal a demons were kind of person was well, you're quite right. people can't root for it. one of one of the fascinations to me as a writing is biography, was, in a sense, the more i got into the war carrying it got the exercise. and i was

a hard drive to research his wife. and also company used this helter skelter of the night, but in a sense and the times we live in with coated in things, i mean he's holding up a mirror to us and of basically our humanity. i mean, is this guy had enormous potential on the one hand, a natural challenge creating a ball with the ball with a full bore. and at the same time, as i say, you had the zealot in the demons which we all have in a sense. and we have it in spades these last 8 months, where people have been suffering in different ways. so i think he connected with people's humanity. and i think that's outpouring of grief we're seeing in the streets where desire is naples and some parts of spain have something to do that. jimmy burns author of the book, the hand of god, the life of diego maradona. thank you for joining us. thank you. now as the coronavirus continues to surge across the united states,

health officials, there are warning that thursday's thanksgiving holiday could become a national super spreader event. well after more than 8 months of social distancing, many are eager to get home for family gatherings and millions of already taken to the roads, rails, and skies, but with air travel down significantly from the same time. last year. it's clear, many others are heeding warnings to stay, put, and keep celebrations small and staying home and avoiding large get togethers is especially hard on the elderly and particularly those who live alone. but a washington based restaurant owner is trying to help out thanksgiving celebrations . have always been about food, lots of food, cornbread, stuffing sweet potatoes. and then of course the turkey

a thanksgiving dinner. so he called on his restaurant, stuff to get it working. the mutes are paid by donations, volunteers bringing a sequined of solidarity, as well as dinner, just thanked me. thank you. i often went to family or to my friend's house for many years. and this year, no wedding can't go anywhere. how do you feel about this? pretty sad is that, you know, locked in a house for a long time and you're by yourself. you know, it's you in the cat, just me and the cats. so that's how i'm spending except now i'm going to have the meal. it's very scary when you can't buy food the way you used to buy food. i just picked in the bag to me, looked wonderful. like a bright moment in hard times and new priorities for

a restaurant owner. this isn't my job. this is my responsibility. and to our viewers in the united states, a very happy thanksgiving. you're watching t.v. news. do stay with us, focus on europe is coming up next. i'll see you again at the top of the hour with the world news headlines for now. thank you for spending part of a loop
