examines the few traces that remain of their existence we called them the troop. surge january 11th on d w. this is d w news live from berlin europe tightens its borders to guard against a new strain of corona virus germany and other countries move to ban travel from the u.k. for a new virus variants is causing a new lockdowns and fresh fish the e.u. has called a crisis meeting to discuss the next steps also coming up the united states

congress finally agrees on a new covert 19 relief package after months of wrangling a bipartisan deal is struck with $900000000000.00 to support and economy battered by the pandemic. and safe and sound after enduring nearly a week in captivity a nigerian schoolboy is back home with family and speaking out about his ordeal. plus invited us to go football all sport go into the winter break in 4th place after sneaking. in the clash on sunday night. and all else like a welcome to the program a growing number of countries are moving to ban travel from the united kingdom citing fears about a new strain of corona virus the new mutations spreads more quickly and has forced the british government to impose

a strict lockdown on the capital london and nearby areas the port of dover says it is closing for outbound traffic after france shuts its border britain's transport minister is urging passages and especially french traffic and not to travel to southern ports leaders in europe and beyond are now scrambling to keep the new strain from reaching their doorsteps but it may be too late. some of the last u.k. passengers to arrive in the netherlands this year. they arrived in the country just hours after it was announced that all travel from the u.k. to the netherlands will be banned for at least 2 weeks. these were the final passengers from london to belgium who also shut up their borders to u.k. travelers to. several other countries across the world followed suit with many of the nationals having to change travel plans just before christmas coming

home for christmas i was working as being a family so i think i just jumped to go and i went to a host idea paid a very 250 pounds for a flight last night president to call. their home for a good one as soldiers and safe and quarantining boy here and then get to see a family and friends. the e.u. are holding crisis talks and brussels on monday to decide on a coordinated response to the new variant a compulsory negative test maybe one of the prerequisites for travel. whatever the measure will decide on in 48 hours time it's probable the p.c.r. test will be compulsory that's why invite people to go and get tested because there's a delay before getting the result. until a solution is reached people and goods law remains stuck within the u.k.'s border with. the e.u. is set to hold

a special crisis meeting on monday our correspondent in brussels band lagos told us more about the e.u.'s response and the likely outcome will be that there will be a complete travel ban for the united kingdom and the european union until the 31st of december so everything will be cut off travel car travel and also train travel this is to ensure that the virus can the new strain of the rise cannot reach the continent although it is already here it is already in italy in netherlands and denmark but only very few cases and the german minister said devise has to be contained we cannot allow it to spread further more on the continent through europe but it's unclear if that will really work because nobody knows exactly when the virus was circulating the oh the world has organization said is already there since september. earlier we spoke to viral or just mohammed moneer from britain's

lancaster university we asked him whether there are concerns that vaccines could be less effective on the new strain of the virus but i just want to highlight is that when vaccine work vaccine doesn't work against one part of the virus it works against different components of the virus for example there are more than 2030 different sites within the spike but again yes with the vaccine is effective so if one or 2 mutations are still the other one would protect against the infection so as it stands now the move haitians are we have identified it in the you you have literally no impact on to the vaccine effectiveness so therefore the vaccine being developed by the pfizer midden or astra zeneca would have no impact on to the this why i said it would carry on raising the immunity enough to really know if this waras that was viral or just muhammad moneer speaking to us a little bit earlier let's take a look at some other stories making headlines another deadline has passed in post

breck's a trade deal to go see asians as the u.k. and a youth failed to reach a compromise on sunday it's believed significant differences remain on fisheries talks are expected to continue on monday despite the european parliament saying it will not vote on a deal secured after the weekend around 100 people have been detained in minsk following sunday's anti-government protests crowds of people took part in rallies scattered around the bill of asean capital the country has been gripped by months of protests after leader alexander lukashenko was returned to office in a disputed poll. eastern iceland has been hit by some of its heaviest ever rainfall triggering mudslides that destroyed at least

a dozen homes and entire village has been evacuated but no one has been injured. the head of the u.s. house intelligence committee adam schiff says there is no question that russia is behind the recent hacking campaign against the united states schiff warned president trump that downplaying moscow's role in the attack was a threat to national security. and staying in the united states top leaders in congress to say they have reached an agreement on a $900000000000.00 covert 19 relief package republican senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said that a bipartisan deal had been reached that will provide the 1st new aid in months businesses and individuals will now get a long overdue support in an economy battered by the pandemic the bill is expected to pass on monday d.w. stephan simons is following this for us he joins me now from washington stephanie

good to have you with us this agreement will come as a huge relief to millions of americans but why did it take this long. because of politics there was a partisan stay in made for months and months remember the last stimulus package in terms of coronavirus help was passed in april april 2020 now it's december so that went on the since the summer the congress the democrats let congress then wanted to issue a stimulus package and a help aid package of 2 trillion dollars and now the compromise in december $900000000000.00 yup a partisan stalemate and knowledge of course also partisan finger pointing even today as they announced this deal the republican senate leader as well as the. democratic minority leader in the senate. exchanging punches verbal punches that

each other who is responsible for the delay and so long of a wait for this $900000000000.00 help aid package for people who suffer from coronavirus economy here and the breakdown of. their job structures and so on so how much money will individuals and businesses actually get and when will they get this money very good question so there's 2 parts there will be an extension and help for people who are unemployed they will get $300.00 a week for about 11 weeks that is substantial because again if you file for unemployment you get this for a specific time and when you run out of your time you are supposed to get this then you don't get anything anymore on top of that there will be aid a stimulus payment of $600.00 for every adult and child which is living with the adults and that will definitely help of course on top of that help for small

businesses who desperately need help because they can't pay people anymore and they have to close shop. staff and many thanks to defend simons in washington. to nigeria now where parents of the more than 300 kidnapped school boys who were returned home over the weekend are asking questions about the safety of their children the boys was snatched from their classroom by islamist militants earlier this month some of them have now begun speaking out about their ordeal. it's a peaceful moment with friends something 16 year old who prayed for but wasn't sure he'd experience again and just over a week ago he and hundreds of other students woke to the sound of gunshots armed men burst into their high school in the middle of the night rounding up the boys and forcing them to track the nearby forest. after some time tracking they said we should stop here they said even if you tried to run or we allowed you to run you

will go nowhere rather you will die in the forest. and they are well but that was not their fate they survived the kidnapping sometimes by eating leads or drinking from puddles. and. they said nothing to us except when they shot guns they said allah is great great they kept saying this. 6 days later a moment of celebration security forces rescued them from their kidnappers but the ordeal has left them and their parents worried about their return to school. on a safari or did not want his face shown on camera as he talked about his fears no one will send his son back to that school without proper security not until the government does something then we'll leave it in god's hands we'll leave it up to god. nigerian authorities still have some explaining to do it's

unclear who took the boys or how their release was secured until those questions were answered and the government does more to make parents feel safe fear will continue to grip families in northern nigeria. let's get some sports news now and in the blunders they go volves book continued their strong start to the season with a tied victory at home of a stretch got lost around the wolves suffered their 1st defeat of the season to buy him but they bounced back despite a setback shortly before kick off. she took up coach pelligrino matter ratso had good cause to smile after his side were handed a boost ahead of the game opponents multiverse plans were thrown into disarray as 2 of their players tested positive for coronavirus just hours before kick off with 3 others having to quarantine. but it was the hosts who had the best chance early on getting hard twice went close to scoring the opening goal but was denied by gregor

breathtakingly beautiful get brutal. over the generations the people who live here have learned how to survive in this inhospitable landscape. we travel through the optic. out to

eastern siberia. we want to learn how people's lives changing in this remote part of the world. cruising through the arctic ocean at 20 knots an hour. we're aboard the sapphire princess one of the big cruise ships now to ring the arctic with increasing frequency and acting could venture has never been more comfortable provided you are willing to share the experience with many others. just before 7 am we cross into the optic circle and see its rugged nature without being exposed to it as

adventurous go it's arctic light that will soon change why did you get up so early in the morning to go to the gym. where you come from the gym but i didn't realize it was going to look like this when it's fantastic being out here it's inspirational it really helps you to get closer in nature and that's a good thing i think of people thought more about that they wouldn't be. passing their garbage around and driving big s.u.v.s where my wife wants to see the northern lights but i'll be. going to support that. doesn't mean to say yeah. i will she. the arctic landscape is harsh and forbidding yet it's one of the most fragile ecosystems on the planet.

the weather in the far north is temperamental the ship with its 18 decks starts to rock from side to side. the swimming pool is transformed into wave form. below deck they still cooking up a storm due to the rough weather we've lost our appetites but we still meet with stephen reynolds these shows are still around his domain with a twinkle in his eye he says a few guests to likely leave the ship heavier than when they would it is. a major mike you know a lot of persons i should. you know the real i would have a child so that's. good yeah ok i'm happy with that arctic cuisines not what the passengers want general. the british small kids that we do spinning

they still want to come with a roast beef yorkshire pudding. they want their fried again i couldn't pass the dance halls and like to travel in style we need a couple from too old for change they've taken cruises for years this is the 23rd doesn't bother them that this kind of holiday is increasingly faint as environmentally unfriendly. life is a compromise on the one hand you want to see places. on the other there are environmental problems but this makes the region more popular so people see how it's changing all its important region becomes better known to pigs but that's only possible with lots of people can visit you on. the cruise ship industry is enticed him people to come to the arctic while it's still intact. it ships are bringing guests to ever move remote locations to ensure that this booming business doesn't fall victim to environmental misgivings companies are trying to go green on board

trash is separated for recycling and some ships are now running on liquefied petroleum gas instead of heavy crude oil or marine diesel fuel. travelling through these icy waters poses particular dangers captain paolo rivera tells us so he and his crew have gone through special navigational training. all aboard that navigation icy water. they appear yet not that we don't have a lot of racing eyes they are places where there is are directing us so we have to be careful because. it's like all authority float. small eyes we have for a girl that they can actually damage the propellers and if we go into quite a house i condensation concentration of the ship itself we can actually damage the

hull. and there it's a ship which is bill. which is not good news for isaac on the front but not very thick and. this evening we catch a glimpse of one of the arctics most placing attractions. the northern lights. new rule borealis once inspired belief in the supernatural now it's something to wrists film imposed on social media. we leave the ships warm comfort zone from out so we continue on to the acapella go

. in some a huge cruise ships come here carrying thousands of passengers. in the off season smallish ships docked here not far off from the north pole. it's no longer just well equipped explorers who are venturing this close to the north pole. the number of tourists has doubled over the last decade each year 70000 visitors descend on long island a town of some 2000 residents. for the locals to reason has become a reliable source of revenue now that mining is in decline still it has its challenges. style bad search and rescue team said the number of distress calls. has increased

along with people's expectations we accompany the a rescue team on a training mission. wearing a protective suit is mandatory should be fooled into the icy cold water it would keep us from getting hypothermia at least for a few minutes. slower hakan is in charge of the 2 pew may helicopters stationed on fall bond. each of them can transport as many as 20 people in emergency. style body is an desert yes it's growing in the west there's more rain and less smoke. or with quite a figure such. as. all the measures are getting more retreating.

all the temperature. on average. the captain of this expedition vessel has agreed to take caught in a rescue exercise. as has our camera man who's now being lowered on a rope. the ship's crew also takes part in a it's a size they know the importance of such maneuvers in a match and see. after a little refreshment it's back to work here.

if a ship gets in trouble snorts crew rescues the passengers one by one by helicopter . once they've all been evacuated there's still another problem to deal with a ship wrecked full of diesel stranded in an extremely fragile ecosystem. to give guests an unforgettable experience sura says some captains take big risks in this dangerous region the rescuers must cover vast distances he finds the future cruise ships most problematic the thing is that we should always be able to help but it might take a lot longer time than we want to so it's all a matter of it's a bit harsh to say but it's a matter of getting the rescue done before people die so if we start to say that yeah we're going to rescue

a ship with 7000 people on board it might take weeks. that people here say that tourism needs to be steered in the right direction to ensure that spell bad spectacular nature is protected. and the visitors return home safely. or like our. way has sovereignty of a spouse but the archipelago is a visa free zone russia has an active outpost here in balance book to reach it we must take advice. there's not a single road leading to balance book. is signed in cyrillic is a reminder of bygone times how cold communism. the soviet spiritual geopolitics

has long spoken another language. valarie comes from eastern ukraine a region plagued by divisions in a way backed by progress in forces he works on smile bought for state owned russian coal company. in the area. my wife stayed at home. i'm here alone there aren't any jobs for women here they can't earn much money here. mining coal is hardly profitable anymore but prospectors are drawn by other natural resources. it's believed there are huge oil and gas reserves us while bouts coasts norway and russia disagree on who they belong to. russia's consul general on style

bad service team surrogate pushkin says his country has a good neighborly relationship with nato member norway such consider tree turns are rare in russian diplomacy these days. as the arctic climate is too harsh for conflicts that the friendship creates short lived when it comes to oil or educate them with but he will do you have any idea what huge office that would generate in the billions he's getting everything here will turn to gold if the russian interpretation is applied as you perhaps why we haven't been able to come to an agreement with all widgets about this which once an oil or gas field is found here national legal disputes will certainly start a huge his border. a few notable miles away in the barents sea russia stages military maneuvers that fuels worries here that worse things than legal action could happen. even. if here on the hillside they invoke world

peace. to find out what happens to a remote northern town when fossil fuel deposits are found just off shore we pay a visit to have a 1st. and winter noise far north is plunged into darkness for 2 long months. so for a long time people were leaving in droves. but then along came sto white that's what they call the natural gas field of the coast from hammerfest since 2007 snow white has been a fairy tale dream come true for the town's finances that the high wages paid have attracted many skilled workers. this is a good morning for. her little daughter afa doesn't make

a fuss when she's dropped off at daycare afterwards and i head straight to the office her partner is currently working off shore as always in 2 week long stints. sometimes you have a meeting that you can't miss and then you're really have a challenge. balancing motherhood with a career equi nor no way stagehand energy company is no easy feat and it's not just a question of time but of ideology too she drives a hybrid car avoids plastic and recycles her waste protecting the environment is important to her as it is to most norwegians yet she works for a company that makes its money from extracting fossil fuels. the 21 year old shows us there's no contradiction there. at this plant ek when all. liquefied natural gas and puts it into tanks it also

operates a pilot project. the firm separates the c o 2 from the natural gas and pumps it back into the ocean floor this process reduces the amount of harmful greenhouse gases making their way into the atmosphere norway site such projects as proof of its green credentials yet it continues to award exploration drilling my sense is in the arctic ocean and its finances count on petro dollars environmental activists call that hypocritical. and it considers their criticism unfounded yet she's used to having to justify working for the industry people might think that you would be a hypocrite if you think about the climate crisis and things still work in the industry but. i think that my company is

a place very grow. better faster. and then she was pounding norway's profitable fossil fuel extraction wouldn't change anything alice's customers would just buy their gas elsewhere and that wouldn't benefit the climate at all her mother has always supported her choice. she has always been a tough guy she was. pointing out that. i want to work in that company this is my dream. norwegians ah serious about protecting the environment however the un willing to give up selling oil and gas any time soon because that's what's made norway into one of the richest countries worldwide.

we continue our journey east winds from hammerfest above and then to vote on the amount peninsula in the language of the indigenous nimitz people means the end of the world but now the peninsula is the sign of one of russia's largest economic projects. we're just in time to witness them tapping and new gas source russian energy giant gazprom has developed above a new gas field in record time. so i guess a lunch if one gets proms best while the title in 2015 is accustomed to middle high and heat but here he must still have it in the us to become a winner and prost sometimes it's minus 15 degrees celsius and

those temperatures you try not to work outside work but sometimes there's an accident and you have to go out and work whether you want to or not what. he has promised created a small town for $3000.00 workers in this secluded part of siberia we're only allowed to visit after receiving special permission from the state owned russian company he took in weeks. emails and phone calls to get it the workers are made to feel like heroes they're serving their countries aim to make the uptick lucrative. the surrogate tells us the main reason they're all here. on average workers in northern siberia own roughly double the amount compared to the rest of russia. here they work for 30 days straight then they have 50 days off sick as family lives a day's journey away from boston yank of all. i know but

sometimes it's hard especially at the end of your stand your morale sank and the monotony it gets to here. but you pay a price for everything in this life or so this is quite ok. the woman of the arctic is a boon for russia's economic ambitions the section of the northeast passage along russia's coast is now ice free more often making it easier to export siberian gas goods coming from china by boat can also reach europe quicker and russia plans to profit from this. the port of sabet is pivotal to this strategy. but that doesn't leave much room for these nomadic reindeer herders in the shadow

of the drilling rigs they feel the loss of their homeland. roland emmerich we dismissing the vanna white her family they belong to the indigenous people known as the ninevites they've lived here for centuries in a perfectly adapted to the inhospitable conditions in the arctic. but now these nomadic people must contend with industrial science train tracks and streets but what you just wanted to. avoid drilling is underway for oil and gas on the minutes grazing land in danger and the traditions and culture. there was about how do you know you call this a fridge i call it a paria it stands on legs like this so we can stack meat fish and so forth up there then they stay fresh for

a long time ago go to. the gas companies now have a minute's commissioner who acts as a mediator between heavy industry and the indigenous people it's good p.r. . hello nice to see you. is she yours. how many do you have. and sometimes the companies donate firewood or generated to the nets. or grigory tells us this hardly compensates for what they've lost when dust trail expansion. you watch it's not good. but you. know why shouldn't they hope. well much that suddenly should help but we've surrendered so much of our land to the gas workers there's no longer enough grazing land not here

nor in the south. a source of food clothing and transports haitian reading tea out everything to the next the ventilators of $200.00 of them. but times are changing the winters are getting warmer and the animals are growing thin as they have a hard time finding food which of course necessary without snow it's harder to keep the reindeer together they go off in all directions and the groups break off from the herd which could. the venom returns will soon set off to their winter grazing lands like every year but their route will be different determined more and more by the economic interests of the distant capital. we continue on our outing convention

from subash we travel to the settlement to share ski in the middle of the arctic summer. in the tundra it can reach 40 degrees celsius in the summer time yet with every step we take it gets cooler. and it smells of fish this despite its beauty this serves as a freezer for the local people. in subzero temperatures the remains of plants and dead animals from past eras don't decompose. the permafrost functions like an icy safe keeping it store of carbon locked up double the amount of carbon dioxide contained in the entire earth's atmosphere. it's a particular climatic time bomb. surrogate seam of things he knows how to keep it from going off. first and the russian

scientist most. the problem. he takes is for a ride on the column a river which is frozen over most of the year all. we have to send bank and a stock. said a seam of a highly regarded member of the russian academy of sciences has to get out and push out cameramen steers while i feel the after more than 4 hours we reach ice cliffs. but the sound of running water soon makes it clear siberia's permafrost is melting. just microbes sleep if just close to 50000 years now's a wake up and say here's a start. and produce a smile if you put on some organisms start eating right away had in doing

so they transform carbon into carbon dioxide and our area there is so much of it that europe's climate will become unbearable if it all falls out. the speed at which the ground is releasing greenhouse gases is exceeding scientists most dire predictions. back to say gays planned. large creatures once roamed the mammoth step we collect evidence of that within minutes surrounded by swarms of mosquitoes. the remains of by some courses and woolly mammoths used to play really where ever people appear unspoiled nature disappears in russia there's still a lot of open spaces if it's our duty to restore the natural variety that our forefathers witnessed of you in the uk. see more of it is

a scientist who wants to put his theories into. yes so over 2 decades ago he began resurrecting the ice age with his pleistocene pop together with his son the kesha he chopped down trees and planted ancient grasses then they introduced yanks and mice and the hair before was a tussle with a huge responsibility slowing the pace of climate change. years ago but is it that we do have this week in december with blanket of snow insulates the ground from the cold so i'm going to go up with the horses on the hunt for grass dig around in the snow and tramp it down. when you're out with this allows the permafrost to have raised more thoroughly which protects it from falling out in the summer you use the shirts up by. the animals. which is then able to store the cold better at least that's the russians

basic hypothesis. so gates seem of puts it more bluntly he calls his park a battlefield the fight between an eco system that's ill equipped to combat climate change and the ice age when he aims to resurrect. his experiment has drawn scientists from around the world including a german team that's examining the grasses the cmos have introduced they're trying to measure the levels of environmentally harmful gases here enough analysis and we assume the whole thing has a much more active circulatory system or exchange with the atmosphere that ultimately the ground absorbs more carbon due to more photosynthesis and the more active grasses that grow here. the cmos say the ground there plasticine park is already retaining the cold better than. the russian republic of south

that is sparsely populated in summer most of the people here live from fishing in winter they have muskrats and. you know you need and said they share a lifelong friendship if you. know me. well lou good. fun little shit. but they have different views on climate change. you know i don't believe it period nothing's changed everything's the same as august. yet just months before the banks of the permafrost behind leonids house melted causing an entire lake to slide into the column a river but. there are billions of lakes like that where the water flows in or out

that's normal. these just it doesn't have any effect on nature go on my life yes but not on nature. of says that long ago some people refused to believe the earth was round today some refused to believe climate change is happening or it simply doesn't both of them. russians don't fear global warming they'll say we're looking forward to it and preparing for war the europeans americans north africans and asians must sound the alarm has those already feeling the negative effects of global warming. the cmos and is to recreate the step landscape that existed in the arctic 12000 years ago i've returned to the ice age. they want to create an ecosystem that can regulate itself with its live or die 8 will be

eaten. by my. dog you should you automatically get a lion or a tiger in here and say now this is your park but then i turn around and leave it there with. that's a joke but i do want the system to become balanced resister yes but no more go and expand on its own beyond our current borders. surrogate could even imagine that one day wooly mammoths will be grazing here alongside the bison. i don't want to leave my grandchildren and great grandchildren this sad northern landscape in which only mosquitoes feel at home. when i want to leave them the species rich nature of our forefathers. the kind of nature that stabilizes the climate and feeds millions of people. so

gay has often been accused of playing god but he argues it's just the opposite he's simply trying to restore what humanity began destroying centuries ago. the last stage of our journey takes us to chukotka in russia's 5 east. from the town of the niger we travel to van qur'an with a stop in a geeky not. according to syrian superstition you shouldn't photograph a helicopter just before takeoff but we can't resist taking a shot when no one's looking people here tell us the m.i.a. is russia's most reliable helicopter as passengers we can't help but feeling that it's rather reluctant to remain airborne still the view out the window quickly makes up for that.

after an hour and a half we land in a geeky not another storm is brewing so we change modes of transport from helicopter to triple axle jeep. will need the 6 wheel drive. north of the arctic circle the roads come to an end. we're traveling 200 kilometers as the crow flies our average speed is just 11 kilometers an hour. as the uppermost layer of the permafrost has thawed driving here is like taking

a much pot sometimes the river bed isn't as bumpy as the road running alongside it . at some point we stopped counting the number of flat tires. there's just one settlement along the route at the winter quarters of these 9 medical reindeer herders our team attracts a fair bit of attention from all the good editors are. they really receive visitors music is a universal language. and love that it's yours that. you needed in order to. dish it out there is you know this old view that. when the autonomy. home to the indigenous people double the size of germany it has just 50000

residents. during the night our drivers get hungry. in the early morning hours we reach our destination. than current. only 190 people live here but every year there you know undated with visitors several for. 1000 will recess. spend the next few days with surrogate caffrey a member of the indigenous peoples he belongs to a family of marine hunters he wants to pass on his knowledge to his nephew ury as

soon as the weather improves they plan to go hunting together the. surrogate tells us that the chook to live from will always says he takes us to see their colony so gay has noticed changes in the marine mammals rhythm of life. he says the walrus is which can buy several tons spending long periods on land lounging around on the ice is no longer an option. on the horta billick or for the ice disappears earlier and it keeps retreating. but the walrus is need to have somewhere to rest. they take a holiday with us in a park or ram from august to october. but panic keeps breaking out among the

walrus says they often trample one another to death to document the fatalities so gay must free their bodies which are frozen to the ground so it is up to the extensive spread of civilization in the arctic with the use of the northeast passage or the increase in military technology and even tourism are possible causes among. residents here when the rules and regulations that help the wall recess and to reduce their panic what is on his reach. minimi 0 if you're brown you get another reason why the world was his good spirits can be seen up on the cliff so he says he's counted some 200 polar bears around bank or in. the church i have always lived alongside polar bears are so so gay knows when it's best to just leave the polar

bear is suddenly looking to interested in this will not save it it is great and our religion isn't that we believe that you're descended from an animal. brother for example descends from a polar bear. they told me to my great disappointment that i am the descendant of awards not a broader walk not too long ago a polar bear scented something edible right in front of surrogates kitchen window the more they have attacked melts away the closer these predators get to humans. that's why even the smallest children here learn how to use a flake and once a year or so a guy pays a visit to the primary school inventor him here he teaches children how to avoid a confrontation with a band. the abear. a bear right and who can tell me which direction the bear went north.
