a coronavirus curfew it took part of you through tonight. tens of oakland is making is back after a short winter break we'll bring you all the highlights from frankfurt's clash with the labor costs and. hello i'm claire it's and welcome to the show here in germany there has been a surge in covert 1000 deaths over the past month more than half of all attacks in the entire pandemic were recorded in a december calls are now growing louder for germany to extend its current lockdown chancellor merkel is due to hold talks on tuesday with leaders from germany's 16 states to discuss that lockdown which is set to end on january 10th a leading doctors union is urging for an extension saying the healthy. system is in

desperate need of relief. and for more i'm joined by professor toby escargots he has an epidemiologist and the director of the institute of public health at the sheraton a hospital here in berlin dr carter calls for the lockdown being extended are growing louder are they justify. unfortunately yes we could expect that the numbers are not going down over the christmas holidays and in new years the hospitals are full use of full and because we have a high rate of infection still going on these numbers won't go down so unfortunately there's no out of chance but to extend the lockdown now as we're going into this new year what about schools and kindergartens the should they be allowed to reopen. it's very difficult really to make this disease but i think with the constant infection rate and the hospitals being full that opening schools for a normal school days not possible so we definitely have to find different solutions

for that so what would be the way forward at there that is remote learning going to be the foreseeable future of schooling or is there another way that they could safely reopen. well it's a communication of things steve vaccination has started as you have reported and we hope to number of people getting vaccinated are substantially increasing over the next weeks we have to learn to really that the locked on is is is working alternately and we have to maintain to see as minimal people as possible so that the lockdown actually is working and we get the numbers down we need to get these numbers down otherwise you will not see any relief for the hospital staff and any relief for the i.c.u. use well let's talk about that mass vaccination program because it's no secret that germany has had a bumpy start there the distribution of the vaccine is falling behind what was planned so how concerned are you about that situation. well we know since weeks to the number of scenes available norma's lee in the beginning of the end that's

exactly what's happening and i do not know all the details but for sure you could have organized in a different way in other countries is certainly better other countries are worse so we definitely have to continue to think about how to improve the situation and to vaccine as many people as possible and what specifically do you think needs to be done there to make sure that as many people as possible can get the vaccine as soon as possible well have enough vaccines available 1st of all i think the test and those are ready to stuff it's ready and as soon as enough vaccines are available hopefully we will see that more people or people get vaccinated and what are germany's locked out exit plans i mean what is the way out of this in the end there's been now multiple lockdowns here it seems like they haven't worked we're now talking about an extension is there an end in sight. well in germany we have to understand with that we didn't really have the heart lockdown where we have to stay home what is called a few at 6 pm or so and we really cannot leave the homes in many of the states in

germany so and we decided to leave christmas open a new us open to see friends and family up to 5 people from different households so that was in my opinion not a good decision so we definitely have to understand that we need to work together now to get these numbers down and then we can discuss what we can do to open public life hopefully as soon as possible a strong call there for a continued lockdown until they make is brought under control talk yes epidemiologist and the director of the institute of public health at the sheraton hospital thank you very much. and in france a travel is limited and a large gatherings are prohibited in an effort to limit contacts now police in western france are investigating how thousands of young people were able to join in on illegal raids as the number of coronavirus cases has reached. as the sun rose on saturday the police moved in hundreds of party goers were aidid

situation. we call her mercy but that's not her real name she was 16 when she fell pregnant she was scared because she knew her mother would not allow her to keep the baby her mother forced her to have an abortion now for fear of repercussions nursy hides her face. i went to a local medicine man i stayed there for 3 days he gave me herbal medicine and i took it and where. on the 2nd day i started seeing blood and i was very afraid. there are people who abort and they seemed fine and that i thought i would die. the she was lucky many girls and women don't survive such ordeals it's estimated that in kenya 7 women die each day from unsafe abortions like the one mercy had marginalized and poor women are especially

vulnerable such as those in the math or islam abortions are illegal in kenya there are only a few strict exceptions women cannot simply go to the nearest hospital for help instead they come to this man he's well known for carrying out abortions along with other procedures even though he has no medical training he's respected in his community as a christian medicine man for people who can't afford hospital treatment mercy says she came to him to she paid the equivalent of 8 year olds for the abortion we ask the man directly he denies performing abortions but still wants to hide his identity you're going to know if you do it in the government finds you you'll be jailed and i refuse that. nevertheless he knows exactly how an abortion is done i'm not. given an injection drug and they're sent home so the pregnancy can terminate there many of these women die if there are lucky they do die if they're lucky the

pregnancy terminate safely it's usually bad however if. you assign them by that's why in most cases the women need professional help after the abortion international aid organization marries stops offers around the clock help for women who can't afford hospitalization there but with dramatic experiences i'm deaf or will finally put in that we start with the counseling part we also offer emergency treatment which includes. what we give you a 2 baltica spain kill last and even sometimes you have to take it to theatre if the injuries that have happened to the will of course mercy would have preferred to have seen a real doctor 3 years later she's still suffering from the traumatic experience i mean is this in the bill i would save someone wants to get an abortion they should go to a hospital. because those men will just give you some kind of medicine and then

tell you when the pregnancy has been terminated they only want your money in the end you are the one who has to suffer in a battle. despite the stigma she faces from her community she thinks every woman should have the right to a safe abortion. the white stork which is native to germany flies each year from europe to south africa and back. many of them avoid the route over the mediterranean and cheek a pit stop in the jordan valley. time short break for flocks of white storks in the jordan valley and the occupied west bank at dawn on the solid just ya see leshem is up early to observe the birds at this huge garbage dump twice a year distorts navigate their way thousands of kilometers from europe to southern
