behind the vaccines sorry i'm not interested i will never take it out of my dead body and in the 1st step that kind of things up and down then i want to take that step to basically go out and have normal times again normal safe times some states are planning to begin vaccinating as early as monday but the shot comes with complex distribution challenges it has to be shipped and stored at true temperatures and countries are competing for limited supplies. meeting was the question how could you as margo says this is a skating question and we. intend to see just this. and i have to question what can go in your book in the united states how can the. u.s. health officials say they will have enough doses to vaccinate every american who

wants to be by the middle of next year europe is set to make its own decision on the biotech pfizer shot later this month in what could be the beginning of the end of the global pandemic. when a surgeon covered $900.00 fatal if he's here in germany is alarming all starches and stoking calls for a stricter lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic the death toll was hailed as being remarkably low for the 2nd wave the picture looks bleaker on saturday or reported nearly 500 deaths and the numbers are still rising well the public health agency also registered more than 28000 new infections in a single day those figures suggest weeks of a partial lockdown haven't slowed the spread and tougher restrictions now seem almost inevitable chancellor angela merkel and regional leaders will hold emergency talks on sunday. here the record infections are not just

a number german hospitals like this one in mannheim are struggling to treat the rising number of patients with covert 19 yet out on the streets you might not know that the country is in crisis the so-called lockdown like to restrict gins means shops and schools are still open the german said of baton veteran back is not waiting for the federal government to take action you fire up. from december 12th on we are imposing a general lockdown for all of battenberg back runs. from saturday and residents there may only leave their homes with a valid reason such as going to work or school the situation is dangerous all lawmakers seem to agree on that several other german states are urging action at the national level. we can see it getting away from us slipping from our hands we have to make a decision that's clear more resolute and more understandable and try to escape

this is a matter of life and death to put it clearly it's a matter of ethical responsibility that we in the government have chancellor angela merkel is also in support of stricter measures on sunday germany's federal and state leaders will meet once more to discuss the crisis meanwhile germany schools are preparing for more restrictions or possible expansion of the vacation period get education ministers are asking for as few cuts to schooling as possible. in our opinion vacation should not be extended but rather we should introduce remote learning or even a lifting of compulsory attendance or a combination of both. just under 2 weeks to christmas eve and germans may only have a few days left for christmas shopping before stricter measures are put in place it looks like this holiday season will be even quieter than usual. well to

discuss this more i'm joined by d.w. reporter joel told reuters joel welcome to the show as we've seen there in the report and we've heard before on sunday the german government's going to be getting together going to be discussing the situation which is worrying to say the least we know anything about their plans but the question really now is when and rather if they introduce hotter lockdown measures some cabinet members are saying that such measures should start immediately other newspapers are reporting that wednesday is more realistic and some states are bringing in their own local restrictions such as night time curfews you have to remember that up until now germans had thought that might be a christmas as usual meaning that shops would stay open and that they could go and travel and visit their family members in fact authorities had previously approved a plan to relax measures over the holidays and allow people to meet in bigger groups but now experts have told the government they have to lock down hard and fast america has self gave an emotional speech last week in the bundestag urging

people to have a restricted christmas and until now it has been has been some state leaders who have resisted those calls but the situation is changing fast of the situation is changing fast and and you know we've been essentially here in germany in this sort of this so-called light lockdown lockdown light why hasn't not worked where we can look at some of those measures and maybe we'll get an explanation for example in germany only hospitality entertainment and leisure leisure businesses were closed down but meanwhile school shops and workplace and stayed open and there were no stay at home orders or not curfews and as a result people's behavior really didn't change much and case numbers have stayed quite constant they've definitely stay quite constant but germany's approach in comparison to other e.u. countries is it's it's even difficult sometimes to compare within countries but why do they compare actually i did e.u. level well some people have been doing a comparison a team in oxford university has been creating it. index of lockdown measures which

we can say now here represented on a map now the docket colors mean stricter measures such as they at home orders and closing all but non-essential shops that was the case in france and greece and to some extent in the u.k. now spain and italy have had not time curfews and into regional travel bans germany as you can see there is somewhere in the middle it had to close its restaurants and gyms and events but otherwise it was business as usual it was fairly business as usual has been opened to a certain degree we can say now how are other e.u. countries at me you've mentioned that they're a little bit how they tackling the outbreak as we've seen numbers go down haven't we in many places sure we can have a look like comparing to countries that had a pretty similar situation germany and the u.k. now in those 2 countries they both had a spike in november and as we can see on the left there it has stayed fairly constant in germany but in the u.k. in november they introduced the hotshot lock down and they have now brought those numbers down it is the same case in other countries that also brought in hotshoe

measures such as france it's spain and italy so we can say that the lock down light hasn't worked and that's why many here are now anticipation dissipating measures to stop it or to be announced by tomorrow and maybe to start as soon as monday or wednesday next week well we'll certainly be keeping a close eye on that thanks for that update. well seculars got some of the other stories making news elsewhere in the world the u.s. supreme court has rejected an attempt by president donald trump on the state of texas to overturn results in last month's election justices ruled that texas didn't have the right to challenge how other states run their elections. iran has executed a dissident journalist for encouraging anti-government protests ruhollah criticize the regime with a website and internet news channel while living in exile he was captured last year . while the united nations says it's increasingly alarmed about the plight of our

eritrean civilians caught up in the conflict in ethiopia the un refugee agency says it's received disturbing reports of displaced people being killed or kidnapped and forcibly returned to eritrea which borders ethiopia's battle scarred region the 1st international aid convoy has arrived in t. crisis fighting broke out there more than a month ago. well let's go to the ethiopian capital addis ababa to journalist sami will get you high samuel now and aid convoy has arrived but getting information from t. gras is proving difficult what we know about the current situation there. we know for a fog that the areas that can be accessible to the u.n. and its partners are only areas controlled by the federal government the cuban government's so much of. north accessible to the u.n.

there are more many many thousands of people including in a tree $150.00 s. that are in desperate need according to the united nations also last night they run out of all kinds of things including basic food so you can only imagine the kind of you might there and disaster that's going on in the region. definitely incredibly concerning that the u.n. says it's concerned about reports of eritrean refugees in the ethiopian region being killed or abducted or forcibly returned to eritrea what have what is the actual ethiopian government being saying though the ethiopian government side insists. just are not taking part in any of the conflicts there has been an ongoing. including reports done by reuters. bloomberg saying. they are involved but the government insists nor international

there is a board in this conflict and it's insists it's only the killer and soldiers and ethiopian army that is involved trying to liberate trying to bring some kind of freedom to the people of so everything we hear contradict each other but again the conflict is on mourning and there are many many people heading to the sudan and we're hearing of different stories that just heartbreaking i'm sure i'm sure they are now if you just be mentioning it there so the. government says it's in control of tikrit and the conflict is isn't over or they're saying it is over but leaders of the people's liberation front say that they're still fighting on various fronts what's your assessment. there are segments of the t.k. left. my notes resources or a mine are or i should say person are but you know it's that of the segment of the t.p. left that's so passionate about what they believe in you know many of their population

of to grow are young people that haven't always 'd known p.l.f. government so it's you know the devil you know that the devil you don't so they're focused on trying to defeat. that government or army at the top an army so they're still fighting and we hear all the different stories and when we hear of victims that are heading to this didn't they tell us exactly the same thing which is the conflict is ongoing and there are many many victims that are just dying and people with little resources young people all people being left behind so it's a catch 22 but we know for certain that culturally cousin finished 2 only because even communication hasn't been lifted in many parts of the region so it's an ongoing conflict that we're watching this and only because we can't access us journalists well a journalist some you will get to choose you in addis ababa thanks for that update thank you. for the vatican has unveiled its christmas

tree on st peter's square and we're going to leave you with pictures from that ceremony i'm published in berlin for me and the entire news team here thanks for watching. thank. you. and you hear me no no here's we're going to tell you and how the last years german chancellor will bring you i'm going to back off as you've never have before surprise yourself with what is possible who is magical really what moves. all summed up to 2 people in fallujah along the way maurice and critics alike join us for metal saw stocks.
