exactly you would be and a brother squashy the attackers ingenue 2015 were about to do and they also knew that they these people have been radicalized and the judges decided that for 4 of the accused present here today that it was proven that these people were also radicalized and in on the terror attack project for the others it was an ass assess shown the most fair to say a criminal association but they left out start. to finish an of a terror attack because they believed that these accused didn't actually know what the attackers world going to do so it's kind of a middle day middle way it's less years in prison in prison than the press prosecutors have asked for but many victims here who just came out of victims' families really they said that they were quite happy brout the verdict and that they felt pleased and this was a hugely symbolic trial. absolutely it was the

response by a state with a functioning justice system to a brutal series of terror attacks it was a shame that actually a government can take measures and that it would this process court case would actually give a platform to those injured to those who had lost someone in the process to express their pain to have to pay to those who were killed or injured in the terror attacks and at the same time it was also an occasion to show how important freedom of the press is here in france and for example the lawyer of sally adore the satirical magazine that got under attack in january 15th he said you know this court case really has shown that freedom of expression has become today an idea that no terrorist hacker can kill anymore. cycle for the correspondent these losers perish. we'll take

pandemic and some areas hospitals are nearing capacity and health experts say cases could continue to rise over the next couple of weeks some respite could be brought by the vaccine its approval in europe appears only days away. but speaking in parliament on wednesday chancellor angela merkel said the vaccine will not automatically end coronavirus measures including wearing face masks must will still need to wear masks people may not have symptoms at all or symptoms may be milder for those who have been vaccinated it's not known whether the virus can be passed on to others this needs more research and therefore wearing masks will still be necessary. germany's new lock down which includes the closure of schools is meant to stay in place until january 10th but health experts and politicians have warned that if the situation does not improve significantly they remain for

hour up next here on day w i come from special coverage of. the fight against the corona virus pandemic. has the rate of infection in developing. the latest research. information and contacts the coronavirus update. on t w. tarrytown. i imagined. it was the century for an intricate

monarch. i was. i i wish. secrets because it starts to seem like a stick. it may be a. global pandemic but when it comes to individual nations the response has been anything but uniform. while some governments were quick to implement lock downs and mass wearing others only reacted when the virus had already retired. and the crisis has exposed major philosophical divide over the questions like the role of government or the definition of individual responsibility. as

a result of outcomes have varied greatly but the experience of some countries has also helped shape the response of others in this time of crisis what can we learn from each other. or come to your covered 19 special i'm chris called. germany has gone into a 2nd hard coronavirus lockdown with all non-essential shops schools and daycare is closed the move comes after less stringent measures fails to break a 2nd wave of infections even after months governments still seem to be pondering over how to best battle the virus the south american country of europe why seems to have found a viable way. this year has been a stressful time for the deaf but i see in my own family in montevideo. i was born 2 weeks before the start of the lockdown in itself a joyful occasion but they couldn't share it with anyone or get any help because on

a christina and her husband but teaming along with the children had to go into quarantine there was a suspected case of covert 19 in this circle of friends. they have with them in the boat also it was terrible for us because the grandmothers couldn't come no one follows all my brothers no one could come in the baby it was really tough. now 7 months later the world looks very different the boat is between europe and its neighbors. but the small country is so far doing with less than $100.00 deaths and only a few 1000 cases overall although infections have now risen sharply again schools and cities closed for a few weeks in the spring it was the same for shops but no the streets are busy again many people voluntarily wear masks in public there's still a need for caution but there's also an obvious sense of relief that things are not

worse than they are the mood is also at peace at the pastor's research institute when the pandemic started in march they were able to respond immediately with nationwide testing the testing kits came from these laboratories they say the approach taken by the government helped. i think one of the big advantages and i compared to other countries was that both the president. supported our scientists right from the start of so that the scientists were then able to make decisions in good time for decades here of why has invested in its welfare state and that appears to be paying off now in the crisis the country is home to around 3500000 people poverty is still definitely an issue in some areas and impossible to open that in our capital. europe was former president jose muvico is one of those credited with reducing the gap between rich and poor during his 5 years in office

he was president until 2015 and invested heavily in health education and social welfare now 85 years old he agreed to give us an interview at his home. level of prosperity allowed us to develop a social democracy. that has shaped the entire country. not only structurally and materially but also in terms of our way of life. we are no a country known for its tolerance where people are very civilised in their dealings with each other but also when there are differences of opinion or economic crises. if you want to only go. back to the. family they're going to enjoy meeting regularly with relatives and friends again. so what do they think is the secret of europe was relative success in the crisis so far. apart from good political

decisions they think the country just got lucky to a certain extent. perhaps it's a different mutation of the virus that we have had that means the cases aren't as bad as in europe and. perhaps it's the climate yet in the same. city and i don't know what there must be some other reason. a few months ago they never thought their lives would improve again so quickly but none of them will forget the anxious period around the birth any time soon. let's get more on the euro one way and whether it can serve as a model for others with mirka ball field she's the director of the latin america division at the german institute for global an area studies she joins me via skype from hamburg welcome to the. latin america and the caribbean have been heavily hit by the pandemic and its economic ramifications what really has your why done better so far to cope with

a crisis. well i have better health care and social infrastructure going into the pandemic and so when the pandemic hit the government was well prepared to mobilize its state infrastructure to help with both the health response and make sure the populations were able to stay inside shelter at home and still see their families and the current government is also following a lot of lawyers a little voice of various tradition a unifier has been unifying rather than. divisive. publish and trusts the government so they did as the government said and finally little guy also had a pioneering vi are all of just who was able to with colleagues invent his own test and their health with massive rapid testing right from the beginning and so i think those 3 factors have been very important in helping the little guy weather the pandemic much better than any other latin american country so in your

opinion what is the takeaway here for other countries particularly those that might have less money to spare for a solid. health care system. there is no better prevention then being well prepared also for myself which social infrastructure point of view i mean government simply need to invest more resources in building a basic you need welfare state which includes health care and emergency income provision now since november dylan you're in search of numbers have been rising drastically and are now preaching in europe why would happen there. well i think i'm not an epitome ologist but i think what happened there was also happening in germany all over europe and north america and so you're being spared from this 2nd wave i think the rates are still lower than they are in germany for example i think currently i see your capacity is about 56 percent in total boy so they're still

doing ok and i believe that they're going to announce stronger measures today you know they've never had a mandatory lockdown like many other latin american countries had and they've announced they don't plan to do that but they do plan to exploit their cities sense to behave well and responsibly through the christmas holidays just like germany has in many ways. is not so different from germany's but now you are an expert on latin america what exactly needs to be done to protect people at high risk of social disadvantage during a pandemic you absolutely have to ensure that they have the means to stay home and isolate and that's where there is no easy solution except investing socially more for the future and it was a rude awakening for most of latin america when the pandemic happened governments told their citizens to stay home and most citizens could not do that because they simply didn't have the means to support themselves through the pandemic and there's

been a lot of rapid state building going on in the region to try to reach these disadvantaged populations in the governments of the have done that are pople in a better position to weather the next pandemic or the next economic crisis but it does take effort. and investment and i think that's the only way that governments can. weather these pandemics without devastating human human impacts. rector of the institute for latin american studies thank you for your insights. and now it is time to answer your questions about the coronavirus here is our science correspondent eric williams. what does the latest data say about how much schools and universities contribute to community threat this sounds like one question but it's actually 2 so so let's split it up kids and schools 1st there's been conflicting information on just how common transmission is among

children but in general the current consensus is that unlike in other respiratory diseases schools are really driving the spread of covert 19 at the beginning of this week national geographic reported exclusively on a major new study from iceland and said that its conclusions were that kids under 15 are only around half as likely to transmit the virus as adults are that data hasn't been published yet but if the report is correct it would provide corroborating evidence for a phenomenon that many experts now accept which is that the older a child is the more infectious they are if they themselves contract covert 19 we still don't really know why but outbreaks in high schools for example are happening

at a much higher rate than they are in elementary schools so what about universities when all college students are physiologically adults and they seem to transmit like other adults do 20 year olds are not the ones who are most in danger if they catch the virus but they can apparently have a big impact on its spread in the wider community although it's hard to put an exact number on that impact an analysis carried out by the new york times. showed that in communities throughout the u.s. for instance deaths in kill tees that were home to universities and large populations of college students are consistently outstripping deaths in counties without them but those deaths are not happening among the college students they're happening among older people in those communities who are getting over 19 in greater numbers in those counties so what the data is telling me at least so far is

that while schools tend to reflect spread in a community they don't drive it universities on the other hand appear to do that possibly in a big way. and social thanks for watching stay safe and suitable.
