this is news to live from berlin a moment of reckoning of the united nations general assembly world leaders convene for a special session focusing on the coronavirus pandemic as the global death toll surges above one and a half 1000000 but can be collectively caught up passed out of the pandemic also coming up. germany's public health agency warns the country is still far from containing the 2nd wave of corona virus infections this week's de de death tolls

are the highest since the start of the pandemic. i'm told me a lot of boy it's good to have you with us covert 19 on the road to recovery that's the focus of a special session of the u.n. general assembly almost $100.00 world leaders are taking part in a 2 day meeting coincides with the release of a u.n. study that shows that more than 1000000000 people could be living in extreme poverty by 2030 due to the long term effects of the coronavirus coming a german chancellor angela merkel addressed the assembly via video link and she stressed the need for global cooperation to ensure equal access to vaccines around the world through lack of need we must never forget that the pandemic can only be truly beaten in the long 10 when everyone in the world has fat access to effective

vaccines. not over the coming the pandemic in the long term also means doing everything we can to a much stronger with regards to future challenges and crises to this and we need to close the international cooperation above all with strong the international organizations then we can succeed acanthus in us paul is the washington bureau chief you know it's good to have you on the program at the u.n. summit secretary-general and so on a good terrace has urged the world to work closely together in the fight against the pandemic this close cooperation is always hearing a lot about how has this message been received in the u.s. . but i think for me there is anticipation that the incoming biden administration will help bring this country together and maybe even the world as the pandemic continues to roar throughout this country biden just announced in an

interview that he will make wearing a mosque commendatory and will also americans to wear a mosque 100 today from his 1st day on in office and you mentioned that the situation there is still on the rise again give us a. more of a picture of what it looks like that. well to be honest it is really frightening at the moment the worst predictions are starting to come true here in los angeles just announced they will be out of i.c.u. beds by christmas fornia just issued a stay at home order so each day breaking records for infection cases and deaths nearly $3000.00 deaths were reported on tuesday alone so it was winter around the corner as well in the united states as in many other european and other countries health experts are just concerned the worst has yet to come.

we hearing you know with the loss of vaccines are expected to be rolled out soon for example in the u.k. but in the u.s. we do have a number of people large numbers of people who are against such such vaccinations how effective can best immunization campaign be. yeah that's really a concern there is some resistance about the vaccine here in the united states and i think it is fair to play that the politics from the white house playing a role in that so the concern of the people is that it was developed too quickly and that there is worry that the side effects have not been tested enough so it will be a huge challenge to the medical and science community to explain the data and be as transparent as possible we just learned today that 3 former u.s. presidents clinton bush and obama actually said that they would take the vaccine

popularly live on television to prove it is safe for the general public and this will be a important and major p.r. company and we'll be following that whenever it does happen in this poll in washington thank you here in germany the head of the public health institute says the country is still far from bringing the current wave of corona virus infections under control a partial lockdown in place since early november has stabilized the numbers but has not yet achieved the expected drop. in the coronavirus pandemic is not yet letting up in germany. the head of the country's federal health agency issued a stark warning. many people are still getting infected with cold and 19 and the numbers are still too high they are on a plateau but they are not yet falling noticeably. we also see that the number of

serious outbreaks and deaths is increasing from week to week since both of these always occur with a certain delay we must expect many more here. germany has been under a partial lockdown since november 2nd the daily increase in new infections has leveled off with just over 22000 cases recorded on thursday but this but the restrictions on public life the numbers haven't dropped significantly and this week the country reported a record 487 deaths the highest death toll since the onset of the pandemic with no clear change for the better insight chancellor angela merkel announced on wednesday that the partial lockdown will be extended until january 10th restaurants bars and leisure facilities will remain closed and context will be restricted some say even that is not enough the southern state of bavaria is considering tougher

measures. in the coming weeks we'll really have to ask ourselves whether all these measures are enough whether we can keep the country in a sort of half sleep like this or whether we should be clear and consistent and impose even stricter measures in certain areas with some exceptions will be made over the christmas period to allow friends and families together. in berlin some think a loosening on restrictions over the holiday is a good idea while others fear it may be too risky. because it's very difficult at the moment people can't meet with friends they can't see or their grandparents maybe these few days will have a positive effect on our lives and. only make things worse if we pause the restrictions and then we have to be back to the virus again for. still some long weeks of coronavirus restrictions

ahead with hopes pinned on the forthcoming vaccine. africa faces huge challenges to. coronavirus vaccines many countries have piled up massive debt and don't have the funds to buy vaccines from large pharmaceutical companies they could be left behind in the global community to secure supplies for their citizens but now a 100 countries are initiative working with producers to provide fair access to vaccines across the world. but elisa is about to get her 1st vaccination she's taking part in biotech phasers vaccine trial and yana spark until. she would not be able to afford the vaccine herself regardless of which vaccines

are approved they will cost billions of dollars to purchase and distribute that's money most african countries don't have it's a pipe dream to expect that the entire continent will get the vaccine politicians and doctors insist that africa not be left behind. you to be unfree as an example for 80 percent of the population of germany to be vaccinated but the high risk individuals in south africa and the frontline health care workers in south africa are not gaining access to the scene until a pandemic is bought and we need to bring about that sort of recalibration in terms of access to these vaccines for many countries kovacs is their only hope a vaccine initiative set up by a 190 countries including germany the tourist members are to receive cheaper access to the vaccine so they can vaccinate at least part of their population. through the kovacs we aiming to have an initial supply of vaccines to cover.

3 percent of the population so the highest priority group to be covered and wrecks again this will be health care workers and all says as already been said the most vulnerable group which is their elderly but money isn't the only concern distribution logistics presents another hurdle for example the biotech pfizer vaccine has to be stored at minus 70 degrees celsius the necessary infrastructure it doesn't even exist hopes lie in the vaccine for master seneca which can be stored at refrigerator temperatures but it must also be paid for and distributed to africa fears it will fall by the wayside. if one part of. our part of the world one not to be vaccinated. becomes a hindrance to people from africa. and. more difficult. we do not want to find

in many countries the pandemic has triggered a downward economic spiral in south africa alone millions have lost their jobs with ice a vaccine their future looks bleak. let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . at least one person has been. killed during protests by farm workers demanding better wages and working conditions protesters blocked highways and clashed with police attempting to disperse them agree cultural workers have been on strike since monday protests have spread northwards to regions known for growing grapes tangerines and blueberries. a german city of 2 here has held a minute's silence to honor the 5 people killed when a vehicle plowed into pedestrians on tuesday a 51 year old man is in custody prosecutors say the suspect was under the influence of alcohol and that there are no indications of a terrorist motive. israel is urging its citizens to avoid travel to the gulf

region saying that iran may be planning to attack israeli targets the advisory comes a week after iran's top nuclear scientist was killed in an ambush outside teheran iran has blamed israel for the attack and has promised to retaliate. but bragging rights are online on the line on friday evening as her berlin face capital city rivals only on in the bundesliga and when the teams last met back in may hurt or celebrated a thumping 4 nil win but this time when you're in a way ahead of their neighbors in the table and go into the game a slight favorites now fans will not be able to attend but that's not prevented tension rising in the days leading up to the match. it's eerily empty round by heads or billions olympia study on these days on friday night the burly dobby will once again take place behind closed doors the hosts have had to get creative in their efforts to generate an atmosphere. you avoid these are the reason why we

distributed several dozen 1000 flags around the city in the middle of the might was to create a bit of darby fever of the atmosphere. on tuesday berlin is woke up to a city littered with hats of flags like here beneath the westerly icon known as the big. brush. concerts he thought a good idea was that fans could take the flags home with them and then get into the through with us on friday evening in front of the television. sure enough the flags were gone by wednesday morning but it wasn't only heads of fans who had had a hand in their disappearance this on your own supporter posted his interpretation of darby atmosphere on twitter. are flying high at the moment thanks in large part to this man summer signing max kusa has provided plenty of goals like this one destroyed against frankfurt last weekend but also plenty of infectious energy and confidence even when your own opponents can't help but admire the fine

form that the 32 year old has found. he's a player who sees himself in every position sometimes up front sometimes in midfield he drops feet he moves out wide so trying to mock him we've just one man would never work again it's up to the whole team and much of. the years men can keep cool in check they'll have a solid chance of defending their title the crown of the capital city champions is after all currently there is to lose but friday's result will determine whose flag fly us above. now you might remember the story from last week of the mysterious metal monolith was found in the utah desert in the u.s. now another one has been found has been spotted on a hiking trail in southern california local media is reporting that unlike the utah original this one is not bolted to the ground

a utah monolith which disappeared as mysteriously as it appeared captured the imagination of many with its references to the classics i find moving 2001 a space odyssey. and that's it for now i'm told me a lot of terry martin will be back with more news at the top of the and so joining us. to get into parliament. bobbie why despite coming from a poor family the pop star wants to become president. challenges or god does he want. to boost the war. starts december 10th to double.
