doesn't the. world gives me a. hug can't sleep. couldn't sleep. a killer least some. can't. tiny points of light in the darkness of this pandemic amid mounting debts the 1st corona virus vaccines were given today in the united states one in every 1000 americans has now died from coke at 19 here in germany daily 2 infections are exploding l 3 times higher than their springtime peak the result of tougher lockdown begins this week lasting into january despite all of our hopes and efforts this year christmas in the new year will not escape the shadow of this pandemic i'm bringing off in

berlin this is the day. when i get everything i have already closed at the beginning of november it would have been ok if you think we know that the health system this very heavy fragment that if it had taken another week i think it would have been to late he expected to get he does with an act now acknowledging i think it isn't good for anybody to close everything the week before christmas because he us all right now when we have the biggest sales of the year we'll see in here very many deaths to mourn. also coming up going the extra mile the european union and the u.k. extend talks again for a post breaks a trade deal another ditch deadline will it make a difference. that we last mile to go about it said an essential one and

we want a level playing field we want a level playing field not only at the start but also over time. to our viewers on p.b.s. of the united states and to our viewers all around the world welcome we begin the day with the new law that we saw coming weeks ago today german chancellor angela merkel announced a new nationwide lockdown starting on wednesday. and lasting until january 10th this new lock down is what merkel warned the country about in early november when a partial lockdown took effect as merkel feared the partial lockdown only partially worked the coronavirus is no longer spreading exponentially here in germany but the number of new infections and the number of coded 1000 deaths remain the highest they have been since the pandemic started this new walk down is a bitter pill to swallow for germany a country long praised for its managing of the pandemic but that same management

included the hope that a lockdown light would be heavy enough to hold down the virus and allow normal christmas and new year's celebrations we're now we know that hope has fallen victim to the virus and a new walk down this is what the german president said today because in conduct in vietnam. and the ships on have i was can we are not at the most of the 5 years it's up to us and we know what to do. you can postpone celebrations of friends and relatives will also be happy to receive their presence at a later point. what matters now is to preserve health and to save lives our most important goals must be to bring down infection numbers as quickly as possible and then keep them at a low level. so. when done of need to get an evil it's out of the german president their front voltage don meyer or one of the regions in

germany that has seen a surge in new coronavirus cases is the state of saxony and it is not waiting for the rest of the country to implement the new walk down the w's tests of all filed this report. the city of bouts with medieval charm and historic lanes a touristic highlight in normal times but now the streets are empty the shops are closed the region has some of the highest coronavirus case numbers in the country the strict lockdown has been imposed 3 days before it is introduced in the whole of germany. for the city's mayor a necessary step. in order people want to be involved in the decision making process that is why you buy it but recommendations but when that didn't work we started introducing bans again as a last resort we are in a situation where we must use this last resort to prevent the cases from exploding

even further you know some of. this explosion in cases comes as a surprise for many in this relatively rule and quiet part of germany which had so far gotten quite well through the pandemic we ask around to hear what people have to say about the missions. but i think the measures are simply right and necessary many. sad to see everything going down the drain like this there really is a lack of perspective jobsite going bust is going. to through in demand it i don't know whether the measures are really necessary in my opinion testing should be done differently we should test for corona and for influenza because well the flu patients we normally have every year. we visited today and now is to close his shop due to the lockdown measures. and then again encounter skepticism when it comes to cope at 19. the it was thoughtless

i don't believe that the 5 or 6 it's all that is around here. it must have been produced by someone because the world alone doesn't create such a fires. and then now the spec seen up to such a small sign. that something i can't believe this is the formation of an offer to put a name that people to ny in the reality of covert 19 and not representative of the majority view i mean we don't have more people who question the virus and go protesting here than in other regions they are not the majority they are very loud intolerant minority and to make it. to them and everybody else that lockdown is not sending a clear signal of just how far away from normal times we still. start date for germany's coronavirus vaccination program is looking like the end of this

month or more likely early january now that's a stark contrast across the channel and the atlanta it was one week ago today when the u.k. began inoculating people against the virus and today the united states followed suit rolling out its nationwide vaccination program the bio on tech finds are vaccine has now been delivered to all 50 us states a new york city intensive care nurse received the 1st shot in the young. i hope for the. british. right that i mean i hope they fly on the beginning of it and. pay for it i mean are they. all right my next guest is one of the go to people in the united states when it

comes to bioethics and public health lisa lias vice president for research and innovation at virginia tech she spent 14 years at the centers for disease control and she served in the obama administration and tonight she's with us here on the day ms lee it's good to have you on the program seeing the 1st person backs unaided in the u.s. today how did you feel what was it was it hard to be full of excitement you know how i think it's an up very very difficult few months the last 10 months and then horrible for all the people who've lost loved ones and sick but especially for health care providers and to see that nurse today get that vaccine and start this program in united states was a real bright spot if it will get better and the way it's going to get better starting now is a whole vaccination program here in the united states and abroad why you have

testified before congress about the need to invest in in public health in public health infrastructure what has this pandemic and now the attempt to deliver the vaccine to all 50 states what have what have they revealed about america's public health infrastructure. that's an excellent question we know that this vaccine is extremely efficacious and going to work if we are able to distribute it across the country and well you know it's public health infrastructure is what gets this distributed and we've seen already that we can we can do this we do a lot of planning behind the scenes with you off of for cursing to deal with with emergencies only one thing we've seen over and over and this particular distribution that's complex logistically is that public health infrastructure mosby's or that you can't just or money on to it when there's a number can see we have to have this starting now and continuing into the future

so when we get our next public health emergency in about that infrastructure we know that there has been an enormous amount of money billions and billions of dollars 800000000 dollars office operation or only very few 1000000 to distribution of the vaccine and that's really where the rubber hits the road where we need funding and we need to build a resilient public health infrastructure to get this vaccine from the plant into the arms of all americans you know talking about investing in infrastructure the obama white house had an office dedicated to dealing with pandemics the trump white house dismantled that office in your opinion what impact on u.s. public health did that dismantling hands. so the public health emergency infrastructure was started to be built in this country in the early

ninety's we had a a large infusion of importance money and after 911 in 2001 and since then he's been running great deal of you know our parents exercises and we have a fairly decent infrastructure laid out what we need to do is fund it only so we have the right kind of personnel in the right places at the right time to get nice pile of help mitigation strategies like vaccines out there and it's going to take resources whether it comes from an office of preparedness or it comes from. directly from congress an object. doing public health making nothing happen is not free it takes it takes investment and we must continue to invest so behind the scenes we're already making nothing happen it's not for free that that's the best quote we've heard no long time leisurely joining us tonight from virginia tech ms

lee we appreciate your time in your insights tonight thank you i think you say well it. was due to come on the day the passing of spine turned novelist john le carre the writer who like no other defined the cold war thrill we had not been to emanate ideological not with communism today but search for ideology is becoming very peculiar and 30 alarming. so we're talking about a new beginning with all trends but we should also be clear from the 1st of january on and this is in 3 weeks the u.k. will be a 3rd country to the european union. well that was the european commission president was live and ally in giving the u.k. post breaks it reality check on sunday another self-imposed deadline bluebottle this one to secure a trip trade deal before britain leaves the e.u. single market on january 1st sunday lion and u.k.

prime minister boards johnson they've agreed to extend the talks pledging to go an extra mile but the path forward it is narrow and with just 2 weeks to negotiate time is running out. and this is what the chief negotiator michel barnier tweeted today has talks continue in brussels the e.u. commission is preparing for quote all eventualities it's and there are lots of them that's going to be used charles until now she is on the story for us tonight in london good evening to you charlotte after what happened in brussels is the u.k. government is it now preparing for a no deal or do they still think that a a trade deal is possible. o'bryant up until yesterday when we heard the deadline was missed in the negotiations and said to continue the talk coming from both sides was that no deal was looking like

the very likely outcome of these negotiations then though the phone line who we heard just there from the e.u. commission put out a statement saying talks would continue she said that they had been constructive in that they had been useful buoying hopes for many who were hoping for a deal to be the outcome of these negotiations but as has happened so many times brant then boris johnson the prime minister here came out with his own statement poori a little bit of cold water on that he said just yesterday in his own words well if the fondling is optimistic the not so great but they are still a big gaps on several key issues important there the key issues that have been plaguing these talks with so many weeks now the issue of the e.u. fishing access to u.k. water is the so-called level playing field that's the issue of competition between you and u.k. companies and enforcement governance as well being the 3rd key issue which is proving a so problematic here and look the fact is as you said it is less than 3 weeks now

until the transition period ends so the question is now not just can a deal be done but can it be done in time and the only people who really are going to know that are those who asserts around the negotiating table because while we hear is journalist might be fed bits of information here and there it's unclear exactly how much of that is is just bluster trades talking tough as these negotiations really do go down to red line and whether or not whether there are idiots and some real genuine issues that might stifle any hopes of a deal. would you take a listen to some reactions in the u.k. from people about the state of these negotiations. to extend it. is wasting time a day i don't think they're going to come to any kind of agreement it's a little short of that but i think we get a very disappointed if we don't very very disappointed they can't be bullying us

around and forcing this into something he's makes is a client states of the e.u. . where the law was a company to fight for us to sort of you know is that his position it's a shambles really. you talk to lots of people you get this mixture of anger disappointment resignation you not we talked about briggs it was times what's your take. yeah and i mean those comments that we just heard a comment that i've heard over and over again here in the u.k. there is a real sense of fatigue now as these talks drag drag on and it doesn't help of course that we keep seeing these deadlines like the one the pos on yesterday which was self-imposed coming and going still without a deal here and you have to remember that the u.k. like the rest of the world is still struggling with just today that more strict here in london a coming into place coming into place a lot of people really do have a

a wait and see approach now though starts of pay attention again when they know whether or not there is or isn't going to be a deal but to sign many people who have businesses who have dealings with the european union they don't have the luxury of wait and see and there is some real anger among business groups farming unions who say that they are just days now until the transition period ends and they still don't know exactly what they're preparing for now the government line for weeks has been while there are going to be changes either way but if you talk to farmers in the agriculture industry there automobile the car industry that is saying well you know what if a deal thought no deal does materialize that is going to be incredibly disruptive so real concerns say particularly when the u.k. is facing so much damage in the economy from the current a virus. some would say that this is exactly what boris johnson always wanted running the clock with the e.u. against the wall would be what are the possible calculations at this point.

well. that i've been reading from the east side that's exactly what they would love to know exactly what boris johnson hopes to achieve once privately publicly though his line up for a long time has been that the u.k. would prefer to have a deal but not at any cost he also repeated just yesterday that the u.k. would do very very well his words with or without a deal say what he thinks privately is still a little bit on knowing there are certainly many within his party who would sleep easy the idea of a of a no deal materializing what happens there we will just have just days to find out the chinese from period ending december 31st that is right time is ticking away you know. the story for us tonight in london as always charlot thank you.

the british spy novel author john le carre has died at the age of 89 after foley ill with pneumonia he was best known for his intricate cold war thrillers a number of which were turned into. the car race his real name was david cornwell and found some of his inspiration for his books while working for the british secret service. for bestselling author john kerry the world of espionage never lost its fascination a spy turned over a list had a writing career that spanned 6 decades with 25 novels to his name. was the main impact will carry himself worked for british intelligence and hamburg in 1964 he quit to dedicate himself try to writing. for and i started watching just for fun a few years back. i was already writing about spies before i joined the service.

i was on when the war went up in august 968 and that drew me to berlin. many of his best sellers were made into movies the spider who came in from the cold starring richard burton came out in 1965. but like kerry didn't stop writing when the cold war ended with the fall of the berlin wall in 1989 carries the world of espionage was always a metaphor for the human condition. the writer was disappointed with the geo political developments in the ninety's. tailor of panama as a novel was my 1st novel with no ideological content it spoke to the new

materialism to the new postwar era it spoke also to my own disappointment that there was no energy for the reconstruction of the world when the cold war ended. the writers stories were often set in germany. i think. it was in some mysterious way my destiny always to write to. but germany in one way or another or the right often made cameo appearances in the film fashions a face for sure but they will show a lot of speaking parts and it b.b.c. series time you. but sometimes it was booming and you miss. the master of spying fiction jonah keri has passed away at the age of 89. well my next guest tonight knew john le carre as an author as a client and as

a friend i'm happy to welcome to the day mr johnny geller he is the c.e.o. of the curtis brown group he was john le carre he's agent mr geller joins me tonight from london mr geller it's good to have you on the program but you start by extending my condolences to you on the loss of a dear friend for our viewers who may not have read le carre's books tell us what made him such a tight of contemporary english literature especially the modern spy novel. well i you for inviting me. i mean what made him special was so many things i think his command of the english language you look at the crowds and it just sings and so there are very few writers like but i think the really important thing about him was that he used the spying for the original era as his instrument as if it was

a musical instrument and with that he pushed the boundaries of probably what people were 'd used to a time when it was fleming and james bond and some of the other writers and what was going on in popular culture to sort of expose a slightly gray a dark underbelly on a more of a reality who what where the ideology and where the reality hits and i think you know he resonated with so many people with spike came from the cold that he became this sort of superstar probably unexpected i don't think he ever thought he would be that level of the popular novelist as i always think he probably saw himself in the in the in the reign of graham greene and and otherwise and he was also someone known for speaking his political mind he was a vocal opponent to breaks it saying that the british people had been lied to by the break 6 years and for our u.s. viewers he also said that trump isn't and breaks it were fueled by the same

desires this desire for a return to empire was he frustrated there in the final days before he died at the situation there in the u.k. and in the u.s. . yeah i mean i would go further i think he was despairing when i used to i mean i saw him a few times this year because of the lockdown it was difficult but we spoke quickly and and i mean mal and the anger that he showed in age in running in the field his last novel which was really a cry for. people to realize that europe is a hole and he's a european and that it put those words in his greatest character george smiley to to to make up point and i think with trump i mean it it's not a far stretch for europeans to look puzzled trump is a man populism and in a way hopefully that is now over but i think that it was very very worried about the british. growing sense of isolationism of this idea of retreat to

a path that apps never existed in fact it's a path that he he kind of lampoon i mean a lot of his novels were were almost comic novels they were about craft system they were about mistakes made at highest levels of spying you know and. i think his feeling was that we were getting somewhere and then we were going to push back and he really wants to resist i've got 20 seconds for you mr geller i know that you were the mr le carre instead you losing a mentor what was the most valuable lesson that you learned from him. that's a good question i think right to. save your life i think the fact that he carried on when i 1st met him he was in his seventy's and he said to me this is the last novel i'll never write another and each year it carried all right and i think work keeps people alive so we have to keep that sense of purpose i mean his energy and his charisma inspires and will continue to inspire me all my life john together we

appreciate your time tonight and you sharing your memory use of the late great john the current john together thank you so krista thank you thank you well the days almost on the conversation continues online you find us on twitter news you can follow me important golf or t.v. every member whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then are.

this is g.w. news live from berlin tonight a new report that implicates russian spies in the poisoning of russian opposition leader alexina of all these and investigation claims that hit squads linked to russian intelligence trails of all knew for years including the date of this summer when he was poisoned with the nerve agent know each other also coming up germany's president urges people to forgo christmas shopping and get togethers as the country heads for a new lock down and that we look back at the wife of john le carre the real life

spying turned author whose name became synonymous with the cold war espionage no. i'm bring golf it's good to have you with us there is a new development. surrounding the poisoning of russian opposition leader alexina volney a new media investigation has found that a group of russian spies followed not only for years including the day last summer when he was poisoned the agents from russia's security services f s b are reportedly part of an intelligence team specializing in toxins and nerve agents alexina vonnie is still recovering here in germany after collapsing on a russian domestic flight back in august his doctors found that he had been poisoned with the nerve agent no we joke now today's new investigation by website building can't and the insider together with their spiegel and c.n.n.

discovered telecom travel data showing the f.s.b. agent still in the volney including on that day last summer when he almost. are joining me here in the studio now to discuss this development is my colleague public public what do we know about the people who have been identified in this investigation well you've mentioned some of the details they're already we're talking 8 people they're all working for the russian domestic security services the f.s.b. almost all of them have medical training or training with chemical weapons especially with the research and development of this novacek agent which is part of this some salvia family of poisons essentially which was used back in 2018 in the poisoning of saturday script on his daughter and now back in august. we know as well that they work out of f.s.b. offices various ones across moscow and 3 of them are reported to have followed me to the city of tomsk in siberia back in august what proof is there for these

allegations well as you've mentioned as well belling cat have been investigating this alongside you know the insider c.n.n. and there spiegel as well as pies and they went deep into this and they took a look at records but really we spoke with that bell and one of the belling investigative journalists earlier eric tolerance spoke to our colleague phil gale and this is what he told. the russian privacy is pretty much nonexistent without allies there and so we examined the russian data market telecom data and also passenger manifest for flights to look at suspicious so we looked for people who had travel itineraries that closely matched that of all around the time he was in siberia so he flew in the one city called it was a big risk in syria and he left from another city called tomsk a week later these are about 300 or so kilometers from each other and so we're looking for people who want roughly the same itinerary as him who are following up because we figured if you're an f.s.b. officer turned into poison an opposition figure you'll arrive a day or so before he does and leave

a little bit afterwards and we did this we found that there were 3 people who got the same bite into areas that. they were really surprised we looked more to these people and we notice that these people want the future colleagues had fallen of only for over 30 trips to 2072 practically every time the only one around russia because he was a presidential candidate i'm sorry 2017 these people had the exact same travel itinerary trip following the bombing and these are not just normal f.s.b. officers they're ones who have medical i'm chemical weapons training that matched that of the eventual incident he separate and. probably i mean this is explosive information i'm wondering how have they reacted to this 3 years of your life being followed over you know 30 trips it's incredible them of only as you can probably imagine is incredibly angry about this actually and also it's not the 1st time it appears that there was some sort of attack on his life actually he said he spoke about a trip that he took with his wife used to the city of kaliningrad over the summer

in which all of a sudden his wife you began to feel incredibly ill not at the time he feared something was odd but he couldn't really put his finger on it of course but now he realizes that actually the symptoms that she had at the time were very similar to the ones that he had when he was poisoned but as i said he's incredibly angry and this is what he had to say. i know who wanted to kill me i know where they live i know where they work what i know their real names i know their fake name like sphere and i have photographs of them. he certainly does have photographs he has the names of course now for the moment moscow says there's no evidence stanton avani was poisoned and that there is nothing to investigate yeah of course that's what we would expect to be coming out of the kremlin with this explosive information. as always public thank you here in germany a tougher lock down is coming today german president from falter steinmeyer pleaded with the public to abide by the new restrictions as the country struggles to fend off the surge in covert 1000 cases germany will enter

a strict lockdown on wednesday after weeks of a partial lockdown which failed to drive down the number of new infections steinmeyer and other leaders are urging the public to make sacrifices as the country prepares for a holiday season like no other. last minute christmas shopping came early this year people are still roaming bellowing streets looking for gifts but from wednesday on the shops will have to close as germany enters a tough and lockdown why polls show around free quarters of germans backing the measure opinions on the high street are mixed. then for if everything had already closed at the beginning of november it would have been ok then maybe we could have had a normal christmas. we have to go shopping now because stores will close from wednesday but it's understandable that stores will have to shut down. basically all of you i think it isn't good for anybody to close everything the week before christmas so

it's nice that they might most shops make their biggest earnings right now and the length of difficult financially for a lot of people. you know. germans have been under a partial lockdown for the past 6 weeks with bars restaurants and other leisure facilities closed the new rules include closing schools and prohibiting alcohol consumption in public. in the face of continuously high infections and deaths germany's president appealed to the public to take responsibility for. his into d.m.v. it was we're not completely at the mercy of the virus it's up to us and we know what to do. you can perspiring celebration friends and relatives will also be happy to receive their presents at

the access and financing challenges i asked the analyst deborah pointed them however line to africa is on china for the vaccine. accessibility is going to be a problem we have several different kinds of back scenes and development around the world now and the ones that have come to the forefront require a cold chain that is quite restrictive it has to be very very cold temperatures and so you have to that you have to have electricity you have to have transport so all of that is going to be problematic and here i think it's possible that china will be able to sound some medical teams to help out with that as they did during the ebola crisis in the earlier part of the decade. but that's going to it's going to be a much bigger. transport challenge and one just sticks challenge than china alone will be able to do so i think they're joining in with kovacs bill and melinda gates

foundation with debbie h.-o. and then with all of the departments of health this is going to be it's going to be a complicated effort and the countries that can put in place a cold chain that dependable are the ones that will probably get the viruses and accident 1st financial markets initially rose or the news of the vaccine rollout in the united states but then the dow fell into negative territory best is realizing this won't be a silver bullets and that it's going to take time 1st person to perceive of 900 banks in was an intensive care nurse that loved the jewish medical center of your. york state brother of him but his and residents of those homes are 1st in line to be inoculated shipments of the scientific pfizer vaccine have been arriving at hospitals across the banks. as quota is our new york correspondent yes why aren't traders more excited about this. well we

did touch new record some early on in the session but then we have to tolerate it quite a bit with the dow jones industrial average so 1st of all we shouldn't forget how far we've come when we look at the record some at the stock markets and then that the vaccine would be out here by monday it was expected by then also during the day we heard from mayor bill de blasio that for instance in new york he is considering a full shutdown depending on how cases develop and if you look at the overall numbers by now here in the united states we have more than 300000 people dying off the virus so we have about 190000 new cases each day is so it's going to take as you mentioned a little while before we have this mass vaccination and i think that's why traders

are a bit cautious at this point so horrible numbers in the specter of not a lot of down how business is coping well it really depends on the size sent an industry especially smaller businesses are struggling quite a bit if you look at restaurants for instance i'm here in new york an indoor dining will be stopped again starting this when stay there was a survey out that actually 27 percent of teachers in the country are considering to quit their job we don't know if that's going to happen on the other side to clearly everything that has the infrastructure to do online business they're doing pretty well if you look at companies like amazon so it really depends on the size and industry and and then we are is also still waiting if we will get the next 8 under way from congress and scoring new york thank you. well there's only one
