legend give omar donna is laid to rest at a private ceremony. in whereas, islands, tens of thousands of fans lined up to pay their final respects to the us presidential palace. i'm going out of his welcome to the program, and we start here in germany, which has hit an unfortunate milestone in the corona virus pandemic. the country has again record it more than 22000, new daily cases, pushing its total to beyond the $1000000.00 mark that's according to figures from the who are caught in situ for disease control. germany largely contained the virus spread during the 1st wave in the spring, but has been hit hard by the 2nd wave of infections. now let's bring in dr. irwin young since he's the president of the german into association of critical care and

emergency message dr. anson over $1000000.00 covered $9000.00 cases since the outbreak began. so that's the total number for the full year. if you will. what does that figure mean to you as a man working on the front line is a serious counts at the moment. for the last few days, it will have a new infection rates of after 20000. that means one we will have 40000 new infections. if we stay at 20000 and then it will mean 10 to 14 days later, we will encounter 1400 nearly 2800 new cases. qubit 9 cases in terms of all of the we have a lot of number of beds in germany and germany is on the top of the top with the count of intensive care units. but at the moment we are getting in a very,

very strict and intensive care units, and we hope that slope will gold dart and will not stay steadily on this high numbers. well, that hole is that justified. if you look at the lockdown that we have right now, do you, do you think this lockdown is strict enough? we hope that wall, careful out to the dance floor. we are very much there's a point that doesn't change the high rates of infection rate. so we think the chancellor and the presidents of countries were all of germany with think about it again. so we hope that in new measures will slow the infection rates down and that it will have better infection rates around links to see if it still lives in this higher rate. it will be a quite big pressure for all the people,

health care workers in germany, working on the intensity, or do you think if you look at the holiday period that's coming up christmas? what are, what can we expect there? as you know the answer and the president's desire to the cities around the measures. and there are a lot of people coming together around christmas. we understand that the people will be together, but we really think it is not a true to open this whole of the town people coming together and we fear that there will be new rising infections in these families. we know that will happen. we know it from the 2nd giving they can of their or whether people kept together their families and as a result, in fact, rates raised again. and we will have

a heavy load afterwards to we later on in terms of i think it's not about young since thank you very much for this update. thank you. drug maker, astra zeneca is planning an additional global trial of its covert, 19 back scene. that's after scientists raise doubts about initial results showing the shot could be 90 percent effective. experts said that problems with the 1st trial could hinder astra zeneca chances of getting speedy regular terry approval in the u.s. and the e.u. . the company says a new trial would focus on evaluating a lower dosage. astra zeneca is just one company that has published results, claiming high efficiency for his vaccine, but none yet received regulatory approval. when that happens and vaccines are rolled out, another challenge will be ensuring that they're fairly distributed around the globe

. 1st covert 19 vaccines on the verge of being authorized billions of vaccine doses have already been secured by wealthy countries. this has raised concerns that the chair live right much later, and low income countries to fight that initiative was founded kovacs, backed by the w.h.o. . countries for presenting 2 thirds of the world population have just conflicts. goal is to make sure all member states get vaccines regardless of financial needs. but how does it work? on its website, kovacs explains its strategy. and then the states pooled their efforts and money to support the development of several vaccine candidates. instead of competing against each other, they don't negotiate their pricing together. therefore, keeping prices low. once effect effects scenes of vailable, it says,

all participating countries work out the stuff income levels will have equal access to these vaccines. for low income countries, it is the only viable way in which their citizens will get access to covert $900.00 accidents. the wealthy countries have other options. states like the u.k. and countries of the you have joined the initiative. but they've also made by their true deals with manufacturers of this size. piece by letter agreements have created an imbalance between the different members. critics say, by poor countries, solely dependent on colfax, wealthier ones used it as an add on to its bilateral deals. and there is more, critics argue that these buy littrell deals make it harder for kovacs to do its job . because when a big share of jared's is already promised to individual countries, kovacs can only distribute what is left in many hotter countries,

not all that scenes will be equally suitable for practical reasons. they are likely to prefer those easier to transport without the difficult cold chain to maintain. and finally, the countries think the u.s. and russia haven't even joined the initiative. instead of supporting kovacs, they've only invested in the development of their own vaccines. kovacs nevertheless, is sticking to its goal by the end of next year. it wants to have $2000000000.00 doses distributed around the globe. earlier this month, denmark ordered coal of minks after a mutated form of corn of ours was far to have been transmitted between the animals and humans in order to protest. among farmers, the government has now apologized for acting too quickly. these pictures are of a mass grave on military land in denmark. thousands of the country's famed mink

were buried here after the government declared a mass carl. now hundreds of them have begun to resurface as gases build up as the mix decompose. the government ordered the car laughter about a dozen people were north and denmark were infected by a mutated version of corona virus. one found on minks, the cull order, outraged farmers, and sparked huge protests. many accuse the government of acting unlawfully and to quickly to get rid of what's seen as an undesirable industry. they decided to go after the mink farmers and they did it overnight without permission, without having the law to back them up. and they have to be punished for that. the rest of us are not allowed to go through a red light. the move is already having global economic consequences. denmark is the world's largest exporter of make fur. and the culling of its mink

population is being felt as far away as china. the sudden mink price increase in europe has put great pressure on both production and marketing of make for clothing here. china's fur clothing industry has seen its exports, plummet sharply. feels like a roller coaster ride, nobody imagined this could happen. the price of mink fur accounts for about 80 percent of the cost of fur clothing. the sudden increase has put a lot of pressure on us. now even more pressure is being put on the danish government with about 9000000 of denmark, 17000000 minks, already culled. some local authorities are now calling for the animal's remains to be exuberant and promoted, saying in their current location, they pose a threat to nearby water supply and it seems the government's hasty actions could be coming back to haunt it. time now to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines this hour. u.s. president all trump has said he will leave the white house if the electoral college

votes for democratic president elect joe biden, you over 3 weeks after the election. this is the nearest u.s. president has come to conceding defeat biden is due to be inaugurated on january 28th, chaotic scenes are erupted inside taiwan's parliament over the government's decision to ease restrictions on u.s. . pork imports opposition lawmakers dumped buckets of awful on the chambre floor before hurling the organs. are there governing party rivals and trading punches concern over the safety of an additive in u.s. pork products sparked protests in taipei last. thousands of farmers in northern india are marching on the capital delhi to protest new farm law as demonstrators force their way through police barricades set up to block their advance. pharma say the reforms will cut the things and benefit large corporations

. the government says the changes are needed to boost incomes and productivity. officials in france have called for the dismissal of the police officer who beat up a black music producer in paris. the victim's lawyer said he was lucky to have c.c.t.v. evidence. as a result, concerns are growing over a new proposed legislation that would restrict the filming of police on duty to 30 pm. now, where the army is reported to have blocked, one of the main roads leading to sudan, preventing people fleeing the conflict from crossing the border. the un has confirmed that the numbers of people arriving in neighboring sedan has dropped significantly since the weekend. miller is on the border and spoke to some of the refugees, refugees who managed to leave approximately 100 kilometers from here lies the town of 4 major. 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, there were among the 1st of the more than $40000.00. if europeans fled into the done for safety, they tell horrific stories of what happened during an assault of the york, an army earlier this month when their 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. these close, someone only ones. i wear them, it's a day. nobody helps me when i don't have enough food or water here. nobody takes care of me. heavy weapons started shooting at us. i saw the bombs above our heads and i fled immediately. i was in the 2, crying army in humira. they killed the people in humira. 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 friend of all men to grow an army soldier there. ending that report by deed of use my turn to syria. now human rights activists are trying to use the courts here in germany to prosecute the perpetrators of 2 chemical weapons attacks against civilians in syria and 2013 and 27 july. the activists want members of the syrian president, bashar al assad, assad's regime to be called to account for the atrocities he denies involvement. but opponents say there is enough evidence to bring an indictment. they also say they have evidence that the syrian regime has carried out more than 200 nerve gas attacks over the last 7 years,

despite agreeing to destroy all their chemical weapons back in 2013. human rights groups have filed a criminal complaint with germany's federal prosecutor. the hope now is that germany can deliver justice for the victims, reports from v.w. and the german news magazine desh people have been given exclusive access to some of the evidence. 5. this screams of freak, tim's who died in the syrian gas attack in ghouta to this day, still echoing in the ears of syrian nurse eman, she wants nothing more than syrian president bashar assad and the perpetrators of the attack to be charged. she and her husband, one met our witnesses of a criminal complaint filed in germany by human rights groups. they wish to remain anonymous because they fear for their family's safety. little ones, i fear for my mother and my sisters who are still living in syria and the whole

because the regime is my room and unjust and it has no mercy. if it had a conscience, they couldn't have done these things. on august 21st, 2013, at least 4 rockets loaded with sarin gas warheads. struck rebel held parts of eastern kentucky. i was more than a 1000 people were killed. many of them children. among them was imminent marmet eldest son. they too were exposed to serin and were unconscious for days to this day. the syrian regime denies any responsibility for the attack. i would, if i hope that one day i can stand before a judge and tell them what this chemical attack did to us, on the rethinking how long it was an arab scene that i cannot describe to you. give me your lying on the ground, like ants being killed by bug spray. these images never leave my mind

was convinced that the syrian regime was behind the attack. for years his organization, the syrian archives, along with 2 other human rights groups, have meticulously analyzed the attack from the suspected launch sites to the rockets used. there, falso documented undisclosed chemical weapons facilities, including west air and was hidden after 2013. we think from our investigation that most probably plans, 450 a network of different entities that are responsible for the coordination and execution of these attacks. the w.'s investigative team, along with german news magazine, der spiegel was given exclusive access to parts of the criminal complaint. it includes testimonies from 50 defectors, with firsthand knowledge of the chemical weapons program, and names suspected perpetrators such as special assad and his younger brother. we

have one witness who described the request and communicated to the presidential powers where it is approved. we believe it is approved or ordered. the criminal complaint was filed in october with the chief federal prosecutor and council, where wall crimes unit has been investigating atrocities in syria for years. federal prosecutors here in germany confirm to us that a criminal complaint was fired, but they would not comment on its contents. instead, they said they would independently appropriate evidence before deciding whether to open a case against individual suspects. but that could take weeks or even months. a man was traumatized by the events she suffers from depression and needs medication to

make it through the day. but the investigation in germany has given her strength and hope that the people responsible for all the suffering will finally be held to account. for some more background on this story, i'm not joined by mark michaud blum. he works for the organization of the prohibition of chemical weapons or p.c. w for many years and used to be in charge of charge of its labs. he's with us from, germany. he works with samples from syria when you were with the opi c.w., what information can be gathered from samples collected after an attack morning. so when you take samples after nerve agent on this case, tear in attack, if you are early, you can sometimes detect the real agents. it's a volatile agent, it also breaks down and then environment. if you do not find the intent, you are certainly able to find breakdown products which are indicative of the agent

used. this can even be done years afterwards. people investigating the electric case in iraq sampled sort of there are 8 years after the incident and still from breakdown products. you also take biomedical samples that is probably urine. and there you have specific markets that prove the exposure of victims to the agent in the number of old p.c. w. reports have pointed to a unique sarin, compounds in the samples from syria. why are these compounds so important? well in principle, the o.p.c. doubly amended for many years was to establish if chemical weapons attack happened on august. some very qualitative, yes, no answer. yes, there was a quick weapon attack, but it did not deal with a perpetrator of potential perpetrator. there was a body called the joint investigative mechanism that was a joint un o.p.c.

w by the cold jim and it existed in 2 installments and the 2nd time they're also investigating nerve agent cases. and the gym had a mandate for a tribute, and they looked for a specific chemical signatures which what's allowed to trick the agent on a side to a stockpile or to a production method. and the gym in one of its reports that, that they also then brought that there, these market chemicals they identified could be linked to the stockpile of the syrian arab republic. although that report was not accepted by the u.n. security council. so it was not noted the regime in syria, the assad regime has denied that it has anything to do with these chemical weapons attacks. but what can, can anyone the handle these weapons? what infrastructure is needed to have a rockets with sound to warheads?

there are notion sometimes that you could make this and basically a boss talk or a kitchen. i don't think that it's possible. these are highly toxic compounds and in case of sarin, they are also, they're a volatile which means that if you do not protect yourself and you do not work with them with their require expertise and knowledge and protective gear, you will probably kill yourself. and so whoever deals with these kind of weapons needs knowledge, extra tees, and also protective gear to deal with it. and so this is in your basement. i was saying can be written out. what's your going to ization? able to evaluate the samples off to the top.

it's not my organization anymore, so i have stopped working for the old p. c. w. any in 2019. but there's an important difference between the good tired tech in 2013 and everything that followed because syria was not a member of the chemical weapons convention 2013. so this incident was investigated under a different mechanism. the un secretary,, secretary general. it's mechanism going to this g m and the w.h.o., the world health organization, n t o p c, w provided expertise, stop experts and never a tory camp ability to that. but that's a un investigation. so it will be c.w. would be interested in that. that would have to go through all so they cannot simply say we will look into this because at that time, the convention was not in force in syria. ma, it had been former head of labs at the organization for the prohibition of chemical

weapons. thank you very much for this baccarat and thank you. i'm going to argentina now where for all i can, diego maradona has been buried alongside his parents at a private cemetery. and when his iris asked him are dos death on wednesday, the government have planned for him to lie in state for 3 days. and that the wake up to scuffles broke out among mourners. tens of thousands turned out to pay their final respects to the football legend. thought it was a passionate farewell, was massive crowds gathered to cheer their hero one last time as maradona as funeral harness left the presidential palace. and well, as there is despite concerns that corona virus infections may spike tens of thousands queued up to pay tribute to the fit both great at the palace.

i feel today the football has died. i have no words for me. he's the greatest and all carry him in my heart forever. and we got us on board or not. we can't believe it. he's a guy who made a nation happy with a ball. on the special report. he made us happy in a way that politicians can't go. no, no. when i said he made all of us happy, and there would ever be anybody like maradona. i've been crying since yesterday. was very hard to see. diego cried saying, yes, yes. scuffles broke out when police moved to disperse on really, fans trying to catch a final glimpse of maradona at his burial. here was

their emotions ran high as his casket arrives at bella. vista cemetery with the footballing legend was laid to rest next to his parents. we spoke to correspondent ours and asked him how people reacted when the way it was shot down. many of them are really sad and frustrated because they had waited since the beginning of the morning to visit him a last time 6 or 8 hours. they have there been outside the presidential palace and they didn't get to him. and so they were prostrated and it was just a little time to meet him and all the crowds couldn't get through. so it was a sad moment for them. and in the end, when the body were, is carried to the cemetery, when it left the presidential palace, many of them ran behind the car singing. and many of them also crying, well to say about that,

you're watching the dummy news live from berlin and that's all the world news for now. since you can go full because he has the business news for more news from me in the, at the top of the ah, in the meantime, there's always a website called thank you very much for watching.
