and record time, you've written yourself a blank check for disregarding fundamental rights to convince you to purchase why you are making noise, we're looking for solutions. we are problem solvers and various roles and functions . and that's the point to find solutions to keep this country pulling together in the same direction. and that's what distinguishes us from you start crediting the current measures help to significantly reduce contact between people and slowed growth of infections. but social contacts will be further tightened until december 20th. the hope is that staying a part now well allow families to come together over christmas and the new year surveys show most people understand it might have undermined what can we do, no matter what the government says. there are always be people who are against it. because it's probably one of the,

i think it's very sensible to be honest. i think the measure should be tougher for your idea of a foothold after figure will i trust the government to make clever decisions? i'm happy that they've consulted scientist and an ethical commission. and i hope that means that the best possible decisions will be taken. chancellor merkel acknowledged that the coming months will be difficult, but she said working together in germany would get through this crisis. turkish courthouse have a don't life sentences for 337. defendants accused of carrying out an attempted coup. i can 2016. all of these are from outside the court where many of those sentenced are former army commanders and pilots. they were convicted of charges including murder, violating the constitution, and it's tempting to assassinate the president of the massive trial as one of dozens of court cases targeting a let's suppose orders at the u.s.

base cleric that's her leg or that accuses him of orchestrating the failed coup and that critics are arguing that the turkish government is trying to silence the opposition rather than punishing those involved in the coup attempt to put that question to our correspondent in john's class certainly is the concern of the opponents of president assad, one the sheer scale of this crackdown after this failed coup is breathtaking. according to the interior ministry, true 192000 people have been to taint in the aftermath of the coup. also a 100000 people still in jail awaiting trial and 2 and a half 1000 life sentences have so far been given to those deemed responsible for the failed takeover. on top of that, you've seen over $150000.00, civil servants losing their jobs, including teachers and academics. and while there was broad support for the government in the aftermath of the coup and condemnation of that takeover and also

support for the government's mind that putin and his followers will in support of this. this just this scale of this, this crackdown is leading to growing concern that it is talking, taking the opponent to the government rather than just going simple to. and those involved and look to the government argue that dylan and his network of developed a very sophisticated and dangerous organization that has infiltrated the. so if you stay from border, take society and need such many measures and opponents. so although one did buy into this line initially with i'm very rare, eunice's unification of duckies beat deep political divide in the aftermath, but coup, which is now seen increasingly, critics of pure land and oppose the government being jailed, including journalists, and also leading members of the kurdish movement as increasingly leading to concerns that no one has used. this is a takeover and an opportunity to silence up opponents of his rule. daryn john sara, reporting earlier. next we go to the horn of africa, ethiopia's prime minister,

the ahmed says the army has been ordered to move on the killing, the capital of the northern tier gray region. it's word he's calling the final phase of the offensive against the people's liberation front. the united nations has called on both sides to protect civilians on turns of thousands of people have fled the fighting. indeed, over use mariel muller reports from the refugee camp some kilometers from the ethiopian sudan border. approximately 100 kilometers from here lies the town of all matter. in northern ticket, i decided to report at least some of the heaviest fighting between government forces and the army of the to grab people's liberation front. many of the refugees here in this camp where residents from they were among the 1st of the more than $40000.00. if europeans were fled into the down for safety, they tell horrific stories of what happened during an assault of the ethiopian army . earlier this month, when the town was hit with artillery, bombarding commercial buildings and homes, many residents remain in shock. i'm alone. my mum and dad were

killed by the bombing of these close, someone only once i work for the day and nobody helps me when i don't have enough food or water here. nobody takes care of me. heavy weapons started shooting after this. i saw the bombs above our heads. i fled immediately. i was in the 2, crying army in humira. they killed the people in the arm. herrick soldiers came and asked if we speak to green yet. when we said yes and they are older than 18 and they shot them. i saw them do that to my friends. here are some of the other stories making news around the world, mosul, hungary and poland say they're united in their dispute with the e.u.

over the blocks budgets. and budapest and very, and the prime minister, viktor orban said, the 2 countries would insist there be no rule of law conditions to access your financial aid. last week they vetoed the e.u. budget over the issue of yes, iran has freed a british australian academic serving a 10 year prison sentence for alleged spying. kylie more gilbert was arrested more than 2 years ago. after attending a conference in the city of qom. she described her release as the end of a long and traumatic ordeal. state television said it came as part of a prisoner exchange for 3 year audience. danish authorities say hundreds of dead minks have been pumping out of a shallow grave. as gases build up in their decomposing bodies of the mines were buried earlier this month after being called to prevent the spread of a new version of the corner of ours. argentina has declared 3 days

of mourning for superstar for baller, diego maradona. he died on wednesday at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack. fans have been paying their final respects as madonna lies in state and went to size caring for their hero. one last time i saw at the presidential palace in one outsiders under spike, the young going pandemic, tens of thousands of mourners mind up for their chance to pay their respects. we want to see all of the crowd saying his death has devastated his farms. he is and what he is full of what i feel today that football has died and i

have no words for him. he's been great just and all carry him forever in my heart. so i'm going to see him, the normal guy a month. we can't believe it. he's a guy who made a nation happy with a pull on the specially the poor. i look, he made us happy in a way that politicians can't win us of police. but i don't want, there won't be anybody like maradona been crying since yesterday. argentina's president, i'll bet a fed him on this. paid his respects to a man who was a national and international icon to a 1000000. people are expected to visit marriage honest cosco. he was a footballer who gave great joy to argentinians during difficult times of political division and economic distress. 3 days of national mourning have begun in argentina . as the football world wars, let's check out what the reactions have been maximalist here. good to see you. max

will share some of the reactions of people. well, it seems like everyone has taken a picture with maradona, judging by the posts that we've been seeing. but i want to focus on just 3 the french world cup winning. defend post this message here saying that the performance from 986 of the world cup really gave birth to his dream of once wanting to take part in a world cup and that he did a wonderful story. then we can also take a look at jamie carragher here, posting this clip that has been going viral of maradona warming up while the stadium toy plays life is life by opus and we can just see the sort of spirit of maradona he's just so playful on the pitch he was so carefree and that's what some of the fans loved about him. and we can take a look at i.x. . i'm saddam who played the same much the same song, sorry, yesterday and make about the argentinean defender. he was trying to recreate,

might have done as well, quite as tough as a baby on the ball. but, you know, we'll forgive him for that a lot taller. so he is being described as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, is there a lot of discussion going on about that? the so-called go to debate, greatest of all time, debate is raging on on twitter and the like. and i would say he's the closest to making football, almost a one man game. and i don't mean that as a knock. he was just so much more talented than the players around him. and indeed, never really played with mays and greats. like some of the other people who were in contention for that title, but you know, the rules changed after he was played. he used to be tackled almost waist height. a player, the bilbao butcher, which sparked a massive brawl. so the pitches were awful, the bolt was heavy, it was a different time. so in that time he was by far the greatest and you could argue the greatest ever. i mean, fifa could have settled this in 2000. they ran an online poll, became 54 percent of the vote. 18 percent and declared them joint winners. but if

a cop out there, i think that if it comes out it, what legacy do you think he will leave behind? well, i mean on the pitch, he was so fantastic off the pitch. he had so much trouble and i think part of his legacy will be that of a cautionary tale. i mean, his sister once said it was a heavyweight for him to be so famous. and you could see that, you know, he struggled with drug addiction, alcohol addiction, he was banned from football for brawls on the pitch for drug abuse as well and befriended the mafia when he was in naples, refused to acknowledge one of his sons until the boy was 18 so he was by no means an angel and on the pitch he was seemingly always in control off the pitch. not so much. and i think it is a cautionary tale that he leaves behind and players nowadays a much more careful. and we can see the way players nowadays handle their presence in the media is very, very different to the time of diego maradona. so much more savvy, it almost these media savvy. thank you so much and max maryland for coming in and

talking to us about the legendary you're watching their news. liar for roland. do stay tuned for our coverage. i do special coming up in just a moment. we'll have all the latest on the pandemic, and we'll have more world headlines for you at the top of the hour on my brock on behalf of our entire team here. thank you for spending this part of the day with us in the fight against the corona. virus pandemic has the rate of infection been developing. what does the latest research say information and context? the coronavirus up to 19 on t.w. . that is for me, is for beethoven

is for beethoven is for a friend on the beethoven 2021, fiftieth anniversary here on while parts of the medical community are on the hunt for a vaccine against the corona virus. others are on the hunt for its origin. well the 1st confirmed case was in china, the exact steps of the virus is very progression still unknown. the current working theory is that the virus originated in rouhani, but there's still more to learn. sequencing the viruses genome is key for the

ongoing medical forensic investigation. and scientists hope, by pinpointing where the virus came from and how it jumped to humans. they'll be able to develop the tools to fight the future evolution of coffee 19. it's a bit like a medical detective story following the clues should eventually lead us to the origin of the corona virus that has brought us a year. the world will never forget the to get the beginning after work backwards, autumn has brought 2 things with it. this year in europe, falling temperatures and skyrocketing rates of corona, virus infections, cold weather, forced people inside after socializing outdoors during the summer, with many tired of adhering to strict covert 1000 for cautions. infection rates are rising dramatically in germany. spain has been in a state of emergency sense the end of october on september 28th,

33000000 people had been infected with covered 1000 around the world. on that same date, we passed the milestone of 1000000 deaths. meanwhile, life in china, where coven, 1000 was 1st detected, is mostly back to normal, with some health restrictions in place. but after strict lockdowns across the country, people here are once again able to go to concerts. new zealand declared itself. corona virus, free on june 8th. and has only seen a handful of cases sense even allowing travel and hosting large events again. at this time, there had been nearly 7200000 cases worldwide. europe's 1st taste of the pandemic came in february. italy bore the brunt of coven 1000 then, and was quickly forced into lock downs. deaths and cases piled up in hospitals in the northern part of the country, prompting border closures around the e.u. . on feb 21st,

there were only $78205.00 cases around the world. researchers believe the spark that 1st ignited, the coronavirus pandemic took hold in china. medical forensics is a big part of the equation. now. dozens of people connected to a wet market reported flu like symptoms in the early part of last december. the leading theory is that a man originally constructed the virus from a bat. the w.h.o. is currently working to trace the viruses path to better understand how the pandemic could continue to spread. you know, many scientific minds have been putting their efforts into retracing the steps of this coronavirus. one of them is dr. peter forced from the university of cambridge . he joins us on the show. thank you very much for coming along. your research traced the net excess of coronavirus backwards writer and the like. you might be able to do with a person or a species,

i suppose. but we are able to conclude by doing that. we get the data from the beginning of the 1st song, pulls in december 2019 up to the end of february 2020. and then we constructed like a complex tree. so a combination of trees to find out how the virus had developed. and we identified 3 types, which we called a b. and c. . and comparing these types with the back coronavirus, we saw that the a type was the most ancient and b. was a bit younger. and c. was the most recent. ricer have these 3 phases of the corona virus. where do we find those around the world? are they or are they everywhere? well, the a.b.c. types are all represented in china and in east asia. but we see

a type of even penetrating 2 to europe, astray here. and north america, and then later, the b. type takes over. so that happens in march and april. so it has developed by mutation more infectious type, which is then taken over the world in the course of march and april. so we saw that coming up in march, not data. so if we have all 3 of these types in china, as you say, does that mean we can pinpoint china as the origin of this correct virus? i have no reason to doubt that on the basis of our analysis, but the origin question really breaks down into 3 questions. so the earliest origin would be the jump from between species. so for example, from back to human and we did some calculations to find out when that might have happened. and interestingly,

the common ancestor between the bat that we have and the human coronavirus is on the order of 5 decades. so that might mean that the corona right has been circulating in some part of mankind. undiscovered for decades,, just like the aids virus, was not discovered until the 980 s., even though there were samples in the fifty's. now that we know about all the other solution to this conundrum is that we simply don't have the right back yet. and there is some other bat out there which is 99.99 percent similar to us. and we just haven't found it yet. so anyway, the 1st infection from birth to humans could have happened, you know, last year and 50 years ago, we just don't know that yet. the next origin number 2 is when the corona virus started successfully spreading amongst humans. and that we have dated with some

certainty, so we think that was between mid september and early december 2019. and the 3rd origins neighborhood, if a, sorry, if i didn't interrupt you on that one. so, so that's quite a bit before we have the 1st case towards the end of december, which is in which how does the fact that it was spreading between people with the 4 that impact the sort of working theory that it originated in with let me correct you slightly there. you said end of december is the 1st case. many scientists make that mistake as well. in fact, the 1st genome was submitted on christmas eve 24th of december. that is correct. but the 1st patients described with the coronavirus symptoms in a medical journal in the last, in fact, fell ill on the 1st of december. so inevitably, that patient must have caught it in november. and as for the origins of

all the theory that the origins of the infection started in the rue hand fish market, i think is problematic for 2 reasons. first of all, as i said, the most ancient viral subtype is the a type. but what we found is that the dominant type and will have, even in the early phase in the 1st 3 weeks, was the b. type 20 out of 23. patients who have until mid january have the b. type only 3 of the 8. and elsewhere in china, you find more of these 8 types, for example, in, you know, and or in guangdong, in southern china, where indeed you have populations where those who don't. so, i think there are better candidates than for the beginning of the epidemic. an awful lot of the europeans. yes. well the other point which is known is that if you look at the dance of paper from january,

it actually says that the very 1st patient who fell ill on the 1st december had no contact with the fish market. so this looks to me as if the fish market may have been an accelerator, a catalyst, but not necessarily the origin that are supposed to foster from the university of cambridge. thanks for bringing us your theory and your reset. my pleasure now is the part of the program where you get to ask the questions of been submitting them through our you tube channel. sorry. let's put one of them to ask science correspondent derek williams. what the different vaccines cost and how does that compare to other health related costs in the pandemic? with reports a couple of days ago that a trial involving a vaccine developed by a team at oxford university and pharma company, astra zeneca had returned safe and effective results. it was the 3rd candidate to

do that in the last few weeks. it's time i think, to start talking about the next big step in overcoming the pan down there, which is the logistics of vaccinating the world. and that's going to be not only a gargantuan feat, it's going to be staggeringly expensive as well. but even so, a lot less expensive than what we're facing now on the health related monetary costs of this pandemic so far have been just immense. one recent study that i read said they could hit 16 trillion dollars in the u.s. alone. and that's assuming, by the way, that source code to is contained by next fall, that seems, will be key to that containment and compared to the cost of treatment in an i.c.u. unit or, or expensive high tech therapies like monoclonal antibodies, they'll be

a bargain. the oxford vaccine, which astra zeneca has promised to offer at cost for the duration of the pandemic. and beyond that, for low income countries. and the company says it will be charging only around $3.00 a dose or less for it. since you need 2 of them, that works out to about $6.00 per vaccinate. the other 2 vaccines currently ramping up are all more expensive, but still come in at under $25.00 a dose. distribution costs will of course, add a lot to the overall total. but effective vaccines are still orders of magnitude cheaper than hospitalizing, possibly millions more people and, and continued lockdowns. that's a science correspondent derek williams. actually got a question for him at a vis

a you tube, and you can submit, submit one through the t w news, you cheap channel, and that's all from us as a day. and for the latest developments on the coronavirus pandemic, you go to our website data, we don't come slash culverts 90. so next time, take cath times to stay healthy.

also notice of grave, the need to keep a grave on the books for over much at home the 4th time for the most recently, that nickname is the bottom of the family's at the last dragon. those words, as you called the whole books from the ghetto to parliament. everyone knows bobby

despite coming from a new family, the pop star wants to become president of the challenges of god as in which credible story starts december tell. oh b.t.w. this is africa on the program today. ethiopia's military say's it's begun. the final face off an old friend said in the northern of bribery. gen d.w. visited a u.n. camp housing refugees who fled to neighboring sudan. they say they are living in desperate conditions. i can't breastfeed him and here they don't have.
