this is deja vu news line from berkeley and donald trump puts pressure on georgia's top election officials to find enough votes to overturn his loss in the states the release of the recorded phone call comes just days ahead of an expected effort by some republican lawmakers to challenge the formal certification of joe biden's election victory also coming up. india proves it to be different fact seems against the coronavirus the decision i was and i'm an occupation program to get under way in a country that has suffered one of the highest coated 19 death tolls in the world.
12:01 am
and in the bundesliga reigning champions bahrain unit get off to a tricky start against a robust of mind sides but the variants ready to reclaim top spot. as welcome to the program we start in the united states where president donald trump is making a fresh effort to overturn the results of the november election ordeal has emerged of an hour long phone call in which trump can be heard demanding that georgia's top election official alter the result in his favor let's listen to a few excerpts from the cole which was 1st published by the washington post so love me all i want to do is as i use one of the i. am
12:02 am
11780. s. which is one more that we have. because we want to say the people of yours you're angry with the people because you're angry and there's nothing wrong with saying that you know. 2 2 that you've recalculated well mr president determines that you have is the data you have is well well for more on this i'm joined by our washington correspondent cut only not only know what has been the response in washington to the release of this call. first of all we should say this that this is an unprecedented situation here in the united states and in the history of this country we're talking about a sitting u.s. president who's telling a state of fishel i just want to find some votes this is clearly to overturn president elect joe biden it's a victory and washington and the people following this issue are of course as
12:03 am
shocked you would perhaps expect this kind of behavior and how to proceed but not in a consolidated democracy like this one some democrats like aleksandar cortez and also some legal experts and other lawmakers are saying that this should have legal consequences on a state and on a federal level because despite the fact that this is not the 1st time the president trying to talks to a top leader and one of the states he has not one to try and percy ate them this is the 1st sign that there is such a clear evidence of him trying to intimidate and to threaten the electoral official he's talking to and the white house of cora's has yet to comment publicly on this audio as well well you've mentioned there there are politicians will say calling for consequences for president trump but really is there a concern in the trim combi even though they have not said anything or even among
12:04 am
republicans that there will be or could be consequences for him. it is still not completely clear if they are going to be any legal repercussions on this but some experts say this could have violated the crimean i'll settle on federal and state level and it's clear that donald trump has lost the presidential election that he still refuses to conceive and he has already claimed fraud in several states he lost remember that there was a clear lack of evidence his campaign has gone through a court in 6 states where biden won but they have lost more than 50 cases including at the supreme court having said that this is this this is also still trying to change the results and the fact that 12 senators let's remember that are more than 100 congressmen are also not willing to accept the result this all clearly heard it
12:05 am
1st place a democracy in this country. in the phone call georgia was essentially what was being discussed there of course not this story from the washington post comes just 2 days before in a runoff election in the same state of georgia what's at stake there. this is not a coincidence and all trump is clearly trying to influence the run off in georgia. we know that the election is going to be in 2 days and the polls are showing that the vote there might be really close between democrats and republicans. run off there that it's for 2 seats in the senate there are 2 democrats and 2 republicans running for this 2 seats and if the democrats win they would have the majority in the senate and this would of course help joe biden and his administration we know that come out a hair is a syria today and to support the democratic. well congress has been meeting for
12:06 am
a rare sunday session nancy pelosi has been reelected the speaker of the house of representatives but really the focus is firmly on what's going to happen on wednesday briefly tell us more about. that is going to be the day where electors from different states come together in washington d.c. for the certification of president elect joe biden a victory now we know that trial senator some more than handout congress men are trying to to avoid and to to object to the formal certificate of the presidential election meaning that they want to try and overturn joe biden civic turi but this is probably not going to have an impact on the result but again it is hurting them across see in this country. in washington thanks a lot of thanks. well moving on and india

12:20 am
regions in the world china's repressive policies against ethnic minorities have been called a genocide by some a room key is also home to german carmaker folks flagons most controversial investment v.w. is the only international car maker to have a plant in the region. we made the decision to build this factory more than 10 years ago it was a decision made solely for economic reasons there was no political motivation the fact it is no in a politically and socially sensitive environment worries us. china has covered the region with a massive system of prisons internment centers and reeducation camps australia's e.s.p. i instituted has documented 380 facilities across the region hundreds or thousands possibly millions have disappeared in these facilities. on a recent visit i was constantly followed around and stopped from throwing some of
12:21 am
the facilities are official prisons some are unmarked and some are cynically designated as vocational training centers. some are kind a kazik born in china has spent several months in one of the so-called vocational schools in 20. what they had to learn there had little to do with professional skills he says. we make it in this camp we had to sing the chinese anthem and other communist songs. they taught us that china was the strongest country in the world and we had to study materials about the 19th communist party congress. that's in there what. china is portraying the master tensions as a means to provide opportunities on the job market but there is growing evidence of forced labor inside the camps or after release and former detainees have been forced to sign up with employment agencies v.w. says there's no indication of forced labor in its operations a lot of you act here but we hire all our employees directly they send their resume
12:22 am
and we have a job interview and then the hit charge apartment and the operating department make a decision based on the resume and the impression they gave me was happened to them before is something that is hard for us to know all this stuff that's yes this is through extreme shriya and after 40 w. says it will stick to its investment but the control this is likely to remain economically w.'s investment never paid off instead of planned $50000.00 vehicles a year it's open is below 20000. in kenya terminating pregnancies is only permitted under specific circumstances every day women die as a result of illegal abortions and aid organization is trying to improve the 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
12:23 am
not allow her to keep the baby her mother forced her to have an abortion now for fear of repercussions mercy 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. on the 2nd day i started seeing blood i was very afraid. there are people who were bored and they seemed fine. 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 a slum abortions are illegal in kenya there are only a few strict exceptions women cannot simply go to the nearest hospital for help
12:24 am
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. running you 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 safe. doing this and i
12:25 am
mean 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 yet but good for much experience this and therefore we're finally put in that we start with the counseling part we also offer imagine 6 treatment which includes. what we give you and to about 6 pain killers and even sometimes you have to keep it up if 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 a similar 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
12:26 am
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 take a pic stop in the jordan valley. time for break for flocks of white storks in the jordan valley and the occupied west bank at dawn on the solid just yasi 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 africa and back israel and the palestinian territories are like a bottleneck they're one of the main micro tare routes for millions of birds.
12:27 am
because they avoid to fly over there. so we are like a highway closer to ocean between 3 called good and so we are lucky to have effect $600000.00 stalks twice a year over year although almost or the world population of white storks about how that 50000. 6000. so we are lucky to be at their best high rate of the job would still. rather than taking a shorter route over the mediterranean like smaller birds stalks fly over land to catch up board streams of warm pockets to write a thermos to conserve energy. the landfill is like a pit stop for the storks to just stay for the night to rest to feed and got the strength before setting off on the next leg. if the last 10 years they lived well don't look for. yet your place is so if you catch
12:28 am
a thief but for garbage that of course they have plastic bags and stuff like that which is of course their greatest. goal will be easy for although bird migration happens twice every year it still amazes he was studies to birds for decades unlike most humans to storks don't need g.p.s. to arrive at their destination it's time for this truck to take off every day they fly between 302500 kilometers next stop the egyptian sinai before they continue their exhausting journey towards their winter home in southern africa.
12:29 am
germany. people that caused them that. trucks probably. it's time to try something. was about some strutting and goods distribution but the intelligence brass. plate on t.w. . sorry. was. exploding cakes are just samas christiane extreme boss creation. explode that. the spanish chef could something extravagant of unbanked masterpieces that are not only delicious their unique common area experiences. on t.w.
12:30 am
. in the light of climate change. for me. what's in store. for the future. for the major cities. inside. the church. in other countries i just read that they just have cars and like you just have to go even because i'm not on a bike. just like. germany is highways are overcrowded and traffic is only getting worse.
12:31 am
monday for sure just didn't think about it there are 2000000 trucks on europe's roads every day i decided i had to do something stupid and. then areas also suffer the effects of road traffic clogged streets and produce it and if you build a city and wrongs of car you forget to human beings on the streets as a cross-reference how can we really imagine the mobility of the future. i love the shipman test failed to materialise the just 6 agent all of it goes over to talk to his driver in the meantime they had a lot of empty runs on the weekend after dropping off their cargo. trucks came back empty that's something all of the public wants to avoid. overcome there was
12:32 am
supposed to make 3 runs today but the 2nd was cancelled if no other solution is found the truck will go empty for 500 kilometers has. over canada has been a truck driver for almost 40 years his look has changed a lot of that time. but. this used to be a dream job not anymore. there are too many trucks on the road and. traffic is heavy of park and there are constant traffic jams i can't just drive past it on the shoulder or say get out of my way i'm on a deadline i mean. the number of trucks on germany's freeways has been rising with no end in sight but 2030 it's expected that freight volume will increase by 39
12:33 am
percent driven by the growth in online shopping. more goods going by road will bring more congestion. close to tell our friends is a management consultant he never had anything to do with trucks or freight companies but one day that changed. i was stunned to start off an auto body stuck in a traffic jam on a freeway like this. in front of me the trucks were lined up to the horizon i wondered if there might be a smarter way to deal with richard's it's really going to listen i. against this thing i want to major inside was when i realized that 25 percent of trucks on the road are empty the complex layer and about 40 percent of their capacity goes on tax cuts here. on the roads the solution was clear to him fewer empty trucks would
12:34 am
help reduce traffic and its environmental impact environmental issues are high on his agenda he takes the train to work. and 2016 he took the plunge and founded cargo next a company that aims to stop empty runs baskets in the logistics companies on board wasn't easy. i asked the established companies in the industry what they thought and they all said it won't work it's really fun to. cargan x.'s online platform uses self learning algorithms to calculate logistics capacity and demand in real time when a company wants to ship goods to a customer it has to strike a deal with religious text. that takes time. the platform acts as an intermediary calculating a current market price in the blink of an eye the logistics company see it online whoever has an empty truck nearby can claim the job and send their driver straight
12:35 am
away. it makes sense but is the logistics industry ready to change the way it operates the trucking business is already stressful enough. over cantor has nearly completed his 1st delivery the carrier he drives for has been using hove to to love hence his online platform for just 2 weeks will it work after unloading there's a gap his next job isn't 500 kilometers away. his truck will have to make the run empty unless his dispatcher manages to get him another order. the former north when you're ready to go you press here to indicate you're looking for an order. that tells the office the truck is empty kinds of obvious sometimes we drive 10150 kilometers without cargo. on.
12:36 am
the message arrives at the office in part a bomb in northwest in germany the dispatcher starts looking for a suitable cargo time is of the essence the company only ends money when the truck is loaded and on the road. about it if a truck has to wait too long at the unloading point or gets stuck in traffic it can miss its delivery window so we have to reshuffle the deck 3 or 4 times a day. before have a doctor. can the intelligent online platform help that would be good for the environment and help prevent clogged roads. commuters are another piece of the past they add to the traffic bad and. colorless usually drives to her work at schneider a company known for its pens and pencils. her partner money where his works there
12:37 am
too and could even ride with her but here's the prefers to take his bike to work. just down the road monterey his that meets up with his father that hides. a lot of oil and hide. it by us with. me also works at snyder it's a snowy morning in this corner of the black forest in southwestern germany but every day rain or shine the 2 cycle to work 5 kilometers over hilly terrain. not far from their house is a bus stop the passengers also work for schneider. it looks like a regular city bus but had belongs to the family owned company. for the past 34 years
12:38 am
there's been a free bus service for employees so they can leave their cars at home commuters are a major burden on germany's roads some 68 percent drive to work most of them alone in their cars to 55 people can fit on the company bus so that means up to 55 fewer cars on the roads. minor and battered his o.c. bikes don't belong to them at least not yet they lease through their employer they can also ride them in their free time minor where pay is a leasing fee of $65.00 euros per month his employer offers a financial incentive if you bikes to work at least 60 times a year the company pays up to $35.00 euros of the monthly rate meanwhile a 3rd of schneider's workforce is taking part and a reward awaits the 3 cyclists who write the most. if you ride
12:39 am
a lot the company will cover the costs for a whole year. but when it rains we take the bus every now and then. i. mean every journey is recorded in the log books. man who has never won the company's competition but he's ambitious. for me think i'm near the top this year. i hope so. we'll see time to hand over the log books. the competition was multinational it is idea. she is head of public relations in the family for environmental awareness has long been central to the schneider company's ethos and that includes how its 400 employees commute to work it was martina's grandfather who launched the company pass the bicycles were her father's idea and commuting bike is so popular now that
12:40 am
it's giving the bus a run for its money. to fly here like the 2 programs compete with each other in a way at 1st as the kind of bypass only started with bicycles and 2012 some people switched from the past to the 5 of course that had an impact on sustainability it's a big bus with room for $55.00 so only 5 people on board has new pets so we're looking for workable solution is self driving bus or small van less so figuring out the best solution is to give. martino's brother cars tension i don't know is the managing director he's especially keen on the idea of self driving buses and he's been considering purchasing 2 or 3 of these buses they can operate with or without a driver this small and economical and each person could travel a different route. every concept is
12:41 am
always going to need to be updated and modified we're putting a lot of thought into what the future. it look like it's. self driving buses might be the wave of the future but this now does need a quick a solution a nearby company recently started offering its workforce a carpooling service using mini buses every morning jeff did call him and collect his colleagues and after work he drives them home in the evenings and on weekends the minibus is available as part of a car sharing scheme open to the public. but your business for right. more are 9 seats and 9 of us before we leave my place at 630 so. people can now leave their cars at home. for the night a company it's a promising idea they could use more mini buses in the winter and few in the summer
12:42 am
it would be a good supplement to the commuting bike scheme. but for the moment it's the bike scheme that's getting all the attention. who will win the competition and receive a year's free lease on their bike when money where his come out on top the moment of truth is here. was finally found at sea our original goal is to replace 20000 kilometers of driving we've done that many times over we've put in over 400000 kilometers. yes i live i shall hear from really to find out who the winners are. the moment was close. by. it's the model the 3rd winner is manuel his congratulations and good luck this upcoming season coming off the record for the next event and now you get one year
12:43 am
on your bike free of charge a father like this is. leasing bikes and company purses are just 2 incentives that can help reduce commuter traffic but what if entire cities move to ditch their cars . this city of trashed in the netherlands has tried to do just that according to an international survey it's one of the world's best bike cities even ahead of amsterdam. but isn't content to rest on its laurels it's continuing to invest in effective projects. originally from australia conny fund done now who is the netherlands home she'd lived in a number of cities around the world but fell in love with a small town near traced. she learned how to ride
12:44 am
a bike here when she was already in her thirty's. i've never cycle that i try to cycle once i didn't know what i was doing it was dangerous it was 35 degrees i heard myself i only started cycling in london in central london. really crazy. cycling has become her passion she even writes articles for english language newspapers about cycling in the netherlands one article profiled cycling instructors like france lip he's going to take early on a tour to taste the record i know you want to learn about cycling through your trip i would like very much enjoy your video that's a view my job is to teach anyone who wants to learn how to ride safety. traffic volume coming from here. even on a bike urban traffic takes some getting used to cycling instructors are just one of
12:45 am
the novel ideas that the netherlands has used to win people over to bikes. another idea to make biking more fun is smart and playful traffic lights called fuel which connoted in 2017. the turtle tells right is to slow down to catch the green knight and rabbit means pedal harder to cali yet he has power for you so no chance of getting a green light. across traist new bike paths and bridges are sprouting up to give cyclists the fastest and most convenient rates. this new bridge is even heated in the winter so that it doesn't over. it's happening and you can see that in a city like you to it is in the example unlike houghton of course yeah there are at our cities who are really thinking from what how do we get from being
12:46 am
a car city to be a washable city you. traced it is continuing to invest in a car free future. oh my you know way. the latest mega project cost more than $30000000.00 euros. the main railway station is now home to the world's largest by kharaj. and plans are underway to remove even more cars from the city center. a lot from her dog is you trace deputy mayor responsible for transport and mobility when we build these kind of beautiful our parkings people are going to really go to psycho just because the facilities are there so it's it stimulates the mobility that we like. the treasure is growing and doesn't want to be overwhelmed by car traffic and 2017 the city invested $130.00 euros per resident into cycling infrastructure bilin
12:47 am
