sometimes we. how much work. we still have time to. i'm going. to subscribe. another day another political storm gathering of the united states as republicans and democrats throw money on the crucial georgia runoff trump diehards promise to objects to congress the electoral college presidential result these may be the dying days of his presidency but donald trump is refusing to go quietly i'm phil gavin and this is the day.
9:31 pm
that the stakes of this election. one more. sherry. you know that 2 elections i won. we won 3 times. georgia voters have never had that more power than you have today i want georgia voters to feel that our january. we are going to be a very. tough germany extends its coverage down to the end of january but will it be enough to slow down the infection right. very very close to the limit at some hospitals. and that's prompted us to agree on more far
9:32 pm
reaching measures. welcome to the day we begin in georgia where 2 runoff elections will decide who controls the u.s. senate and therefore who controls joe biden's presidential agenda over the next 4 years if mr biden's democrats where both seats then senate will be split 5050 with vice president coming. but as i tie breaker double chance republicans need only to retain one seat to preserve their senate majority those seats currently held by republicans back in november no can visit reach the 50 percent of votes needed to win outright t.w. has been out on the streets in georgia talking to people who are aware of the importance of this knife edge. this is why i think right now because going. if you know even who you are novel for all the violence. in justice for minorities
9:33 pm
and for black so we've got to make it right and the only way to make it right is by voting i think in this particular election it's about balance. the 3 branches of government. that's what. i think about. no government entity complete complete control well latest polls indicate 2 very close races more than 3000000 georgians have already cast early ballots so today's turnout will be the w.'s in this poll center stage from a voting station in atlanta it is in georgia about the fate of joe biden's presidency will be out to natalie decided today because it is this election that will decide who controls the senate if the republicans keep the majority it will be hard for biden to presume his political agenda as it is very likely that the republicans will block all of his bills to undermine the success there is a lot at stake in the southern states so no wonder that
9:34 pm
a lot of money actually more than half a $1000000000.00 has been spent on campaigning over the last 2 months the biggest challenge for both parties is to get people out to vote again after an exhausting presidential election by the end of the day it will come down to who can motivate more people to go out and cast their ballot. the polls will close at 7 local time but it is well possible that it might take days before we have the results because everybody is expecting a razor thin outcome and there is fear that we might experience violence later because the united states still has a president who is obviously not able to accept the democratic process unless he is the winner in this poll reporting well with so much riding on these votes the u.s. president and president elect arrived in georgia on monday to bring out the vote joe biden joined the democratic candidates in the state capital atlanta and told
9:35 pm
votes just what was at stake the power the power is learned your hands unlike any time in my career one state one state can chart the course not just for the next 4 years or for the next generation donald trump also held a rally but mainly use the event to his grievances about his defeat last november his appearance came amidst another political storm over take comfort station in which she said he was pressuring georgian officials to find the votes i mean 1st joe biden's victory in the state of monday's rally he repeated his baseless claims of election fraud georgia by the way there's no way we must georgia this. was originally so we're still fighting it you'll see what's going to happen the radical democrats are trying to capture georgia's senate seat so they can wield
9:36 pm
unchecked unrestrained absolute power over every aspect of your life. well darrell m. west is a u.s. author and political commentator he's currently vice president and director of government studies at the brookings institution its most recent book is divided politics divided nation hyper conflict in the trump era and welcome to day w. let's start with georgia how close do you expect this result to bay georgia is very close certainly the early voting favors democrats but the people who are voting today actually are much more likely to be republicans so i think the one big unanswered question is what impact the trump this is from yesterday will have on the election as well as the truck from call which basically attempted to undermine democracy will that turn off some of those key suburban voters those republicans are going to need in order to carry this increases and if it's that
9:37 pm
close in such of such a volatile political atmosphere what happens when we get the result it's contested day and contested and contested did well what he expected to happen. well americans are more divided now i think than any time since the civil war of 150 years ago so liberals or conservatives are going to have very different interpretations trump will continue to basically say is election was stolen this election was stolen because of the heavy emphasis on mail ballots there's no evidence that there was a ballot fraud but you know america issue is highly polarized right now the media system reinforces that social media exposes people to extreme rhetoric aren't either side so it's a very challenging time in the united states right now. and on top of that we have a number of republican congressmen and women who say they will object to certify the electoral college vote what effect is that likely to have. it's not going
9:38 pm
to have an effect in terms of the actual outcome i mean joe biden is going to be inaugurated 2 weeks from now he will be the next president he's putting together his administration it's a really good team and a team that's going to be reaching out to european allies but you know it's very disappointing as someone who studies of politics to see republicans treat the constitution as a piece of paper as opposed to a secret document that undergirds democracy this is an anti democracy attack on their part there's no evidence of ballot fraud there's been dozens of lawsuits that have been heard in various. courts around the country including judges appointed by a dollar trump all of them have basically said there was no ballot fraud so yeah you know his whole divided politics divided nation hype a conflict in the trump era does the trump era end with joe biden's inauguration in
9:39 pm
2 weeks. the sad thing is that trump ism is likely to outlast trump himself even though the president is going to be leaving office quite shortly the underlying conditions that enabled him still are going to be there and that the high level of income inequality that we face the large geographic disparities my colleagues at brookings did analysis and found only 15 percent of american counties generate more than 70 percent of our g.d.p. so much of america is being left behind they're upset those are the people who supported trump they're still going to be not doing well economically are still going to be disappointed and they're looking for people to blame and trump and other people like him are basically going to be appealing to those individuals even after truckers self leaves office and you know what we now have a situation is where we have this this volatile political situation that you have
9:40 pm
outlined there and one wonders where noble now is because you have a u.s. president who is openly boasted about his ability to sexually assault women who was appointed family members to keep positions in his administration an administration that separated children from their families and lost track of them so with joe biden's inauguration does politics go back to normal in quotes all old has that needle been shifted to fonda to bounce back. well it certainly has been a crazy time the last 4 years the united states i mean my lifetime i've never seen anything of what we had endured 'd during the trump presidency but the good news is there is trump the cheek in america i mean trump clearly has some people who are supporting him and will continue to support him no matter what he does but keep in mind joe biden won this election by more than 7000000 votes suburban voters who traditionally have leaned republican rejected donald trump so i'm actually
9:41 pm
optimistic about 2021 even though we're probably never going to return to the way things were 4 years ago i do believe we are going to have a period of much greater stability far less chaos there'll be more predictability in terms of american foreign policy which i'm sure our european allies will appreciate joe biden is going to put a very high if this is on rebuilding of those foreign policy relationships that the united states needs so given the stress testing of the last 4 years has provided i wonder where you are on this how the constitution's checks and balances prove themselves to be fit for purpose. actually i am impressed with the number of republicans who have stepped up just in the last few weeks to really secure american democracy i mean you're absolutely right our democracy has been tested and we actually came very close to
9:42 pm
a much worse outcome than what we're going to face of this year but in the end there were state and local election officials all across the country that up helped democracy there were republicans who confronted donald trump there are a increasing number of republican senators who are basically saying anough isn't enough and are not tolerating his efforts to overturn this election so i think from that standpoint it's encouraging news the system did hold it certainly was tested but i do believe american democracy will continue and endure well into the future well i had my optimism thank you so much for joining us and darrell and wes from the brookings institution and. in the final weeks and months of his presidency donald trump has been conspicuously absent from his presidential duties but has managed to spend a lot of time on the golf course there's no speculation that he might skip joe
9:43 pm
biden's you know gratian on the 20th of january and travel to his golf resort in western scotland well today scotland's 1st minister nicola sturgeon poured cold water on those rooms you know we're not i think people to give in to scotland for it was an essential properties right now and that would apply to him just as applies to anybody else and come into play golf is not what i would consider to be in and central purpose. let's say i'm told now german chancellor angela merkel and the country's regional leaders have agreed to extend and tough when they come corona vote the country's coronavirus lockdown until at least the end of january new measures include limiting nonessential travel for residents of hard hit areas all over the country the lockdown had been due to end next week but officials are alarmed at the country's high numbers of infections and deaths current measures keeping nonessential shops schools and services closed have been
9:44 pm
in place since mid december. given who said the family to curb the spread of infection in germany had left her with no other choice than to tighten contact rules for the 2 that we call in all citizens to reduce their contacts to others to an absolute minimum and in an extension of the country strictures on private gatherings people will only be allowed to meet those from their own households plus one other person from another household i know better than most but even. that's a significant reduction from the conference of 5 people from 2 households whole spoken they are muslim because of regarding the previously agreed strategy on what happens in areas with more than $200.00 factions per 100000 inhabitants. we've decided on a further possible measure which is limiting people's movement to a radius of 15 kilometers from the home unless they have
9:45 pm
a compelling reason to do otherwise these are of course doctor's appointments or places of employment which must be visited tourist day trips in particular are not compelling reasons to go kind to $15000.00. let's hear more from the dubious chief political editor i'm him on today's decisions. well this clearly signals that the government believes that there are still yet worse times to come going back or also stressed that the data was a bit shaky that they had to decide on and that there were grave concerns particular king towards britain where this new strain of the virus is far more contagious than the corona strain that is currently seen mostly in germany so big concerns looking into the future and that's why this goes beyond those appeals we saw before christmas that there now will be also legal measures in place
9:46 pm
essentially forcing people to give up those contacts restricting even more how many people can gather only one guest can come round for tea basically visiting one family and also once again the appeal to that already stricken economy here to employers to let people work from home in 3 weeks there will be the next gathering and clearly it's not being ruled out that we could see yet more restrictions put in place. we can occur from parts of britain where i have a prime minister barak's jobs and has knowledge that people across the u.k. are making another huge sacrifice as a new lock down takes effect people in england are under a stat home order that will last for at least 6 weeks scotland wales and northern ireland are also imposing tough measures now this comes as the u.k. because more than 60000 new coronavirus cases in a day. 5 days into the new year brits woke up with
9:47 pm
a covert hangover the. streets once bustling now all but to serve as a new highly contagious period of the buyer says reach havoc throughout the country forcing england into its 2nd strict lockdown since the start of the pen demick. you may only leave home for limited reasons permitted in law such as too short for essentials to work if you absolutely cannot work from home to exercise to seek medical assistance such as getting a cavy test or to skate domestic abuse. for many a tough pill to swallow but most agree there is no where the cure as england has seen a 50 percent jump in covered hospitalizations since christmas day. my view he said i think it's something that needs to be done to. people take responsibility for themselves and then ultimately i suppose the central government has
9:48 pm
a responsibility to people yeah i definitely think it was the right decision. i just hope that everyone. again so sure that the opposition is calling on the government to provide the 8 needed for those affected . by the parents support in the coming days because the schools are shot businesses will need support because they won't be able to operate the package needs to be put in place as soon as possible because compliance needs you know clear messaging but also support for people to make sure that they comply in wales where patients were among the 1st to receive a 2nd approved vaccine produced by astra zeneca tough luck measures have been in place since the 20th of december. before johnson's announcement scotland's 1st minister nicolas sturgeon imposed similar restrictions while north and
9:49 pm
ireland's executive is expected to follow suit all british hospitals now have more coping 1000 patients than at the height of the. with resources slow and stuff overwhelmed the prime minister warns the coming weeks could be the hardest yet. see how we got here and where we go from here we'll take a broader look at the situation with a mission he's a senior scholar at the johns hopkins center for health security welcome back to d.w. dr we're talking on a day when germany's followed a number of other western countries in intensifying and extending its lock down the lights of measures failed politicians generally too cautious about imposing severe restrictions or perhaps only acting when they appear to have no other choice. i think and in many cases what we find our politicians are being reactive and you have to remember that lock downs are an evidence of a policy of failure because if you can test trace and isolate like countries like
9:50 pm
taiwan have done you don't have to do lock downs but clearly we see countries including in the united states where we see we kind of go up and down where we have cases go up and then they have a lock down they go down but then nothing is done in between there's no public health infrastructure built there is no test trace isolate capacity there's no home testing all of that doesn't occur and then cases inevitably go up you have to remember this virus is here it's with us so we have to come up with a sustainable approach and not usually trying to do blanket things temporarily and then not fixing the problem in the same thing repeating the same mistake over and over again so part of the german approach seems to be to try and get infection numbers down so that they can reimpose they test and trace system. put that back in place but we got the good news we got the vaccines and then we had the worst news we got the skyrocketing infections and death rates and now more virulent new tell you should so that they seem to be sort of psycho never to will cycle to this.
9:51 pm
right and i think it's not surprising when you look at this virus and we know that coronaviruses can transmit efficiently and now we're about a year into this pandemic so i think it's really not the case that this is the only tool that politicians can run for is it is a lockdown i think you have to ask what did they do all of these these 12 months why isn't there test trace isolate capacity in many countries this was all predictable we knew that this was going to continue to plague us and i think many countries thought magically that this would go away or that they would be able to control it but a virus like this is unforgiving and if you don't have the public health infrastructure to keep cases to a manageable level if you don't have enough contact tracers if you don't scale up backs nation fast enough this same cycle will continue to repeat itself over and over again and it is not sustainable so let's let's see let's talk about the lessons learned because one has to wonder what do you think is the biggest lesson but we need to take from this pandemic in order to prepare or prevent the next
9:52 pm
it's being proactive this virus appear in china it was discovered in china december 31st 2019 and most of the world gave the virus a major head start at least until february or march before they started to act if you give a virus that has a sufficient transmission capacity that level of a head start you're going to have undetected change the transmission that put your hospitals into crisis so you have to act very rapidly when a new virus is identified to make sure you have hospitals fortified that you have tests that you will start vaccine development that you have enough personal protective equipment no country really did that except for a few asian countries and i think that's the lesson is that if you don't follow tried and true principles of pandemic preparedness you will be hit hard and you can't we can't let this happen with the next pandemic we have to move into action very quickly with targeted public health interventions from the sort of the lessons from bird to thank you for talking to us dr dr a belgian from the johns hopkins center for health security.

away from the pandemic talks on the future of afghanistan are due to resume this week stakeholders who include the afghan government and the taliban are trying to and decades of conflict with the desire for a peace deal hasn't holton the violence instead there has been a string of killings across afghanistan targeting the educated elite judges doctors and journalists and t.v. anchor a one who was gunned down last month. miller ghoul's wife was murdered by the taliban years ago now their daughter has also been killed malala my wife and was one of the few female journalists in afghanistan until she was shot dead last month in cold blood. she was brutally murdered for no reason at all her only crime was that she spoke the truth and fought against injustice she gave her life because she wanted to help other women in particular.
9:54 pm
malala was an anchor at the afghan news dish in any cas her boss zalmai latif he remembers her as a fearless broadcaster on the day of her death she was shed york to present the morning show. to colleagues were waiting for her in the studio at some point a call came in telling us she was dead. it was tragic we all started crying and couldn't understand who would do such a thing to malala. and. her father shows us where his daughter and her driver were killed by unidentified gunmen attacks like this are growing more frequent in afghanistan in 2020 more than 10 journalists were killed malala former boss is concerned about this constant threat.
9:55 pm
of course this puts a lot of pressure on us it was tricks our reporting we expect the government to take necessary security measures so we as journalists can once again report freely in the country and in the future. what the. funeral was well attended. there are many here who fear the recent uptick in violence against journalists and intellectuals will find the silent civil society. rather than what malala just wanted one thing peace in afghanistan she was so happy when the peace negotiations with the taliban started and she was so sure that everything would finally get better once she told me that she was ready to die for peace no she's dead but there is still no peace. as legacy hangs over afghanistan a defiant reminder of the victims of violence and the peace for which the fault.

be. this is a dublin is live from by led germany's locked down extended until at least the end of the month a chance for maximum state leaders also announce new tougher restrictions including limits on travel in coronavirus hotspots also on the program the u.s. state of georgia goes out to vote in 2 king runoff elections which will decide who controls the u.s. senate. i'm from foggo to embrace saudi arabia and its allies restore full diplomatic. patience with qatar and a damage industry here but. i'm
10:01 pm
still going to welcome to the program germany is extending its national coronavirus lock down by 3 weeks to the end of january the decision follows a meeting between chance and i'm going to back call on the countries 16 state leaders which they also agree to further tighten some restrictions on public life including private gatherings people living in places hardest hit by infection will also see their freedom of movement restricted a chance from one of the big book that we call on all citizens to reduce their contacts to others to an absolute minimum and in an extension of the congress traditions on private gatherings people will only be allowed to meet those from their own households plus one other person from another household you know but in the malls that we even knew at the start that's
10:02 pm
a significant reduction from the contrary a 5 people from 2 households holes there are muslim because of regarding the previously agreed strategy on what happens in areas with more than $200.00 factions per 100000 inhabitants. we've decided on a further possible measure which is limiting people's movement to a radius of 15 kilometers from the home unless they have a compelling reason to do otherwise these are of course doctors appointments or places of employment which must be visited to restate ships in particular are not compelling reasons salzberg are kind to 15 or let's get more on this from database chief political editor. welcome michela tell us more about the decisions that came out of today's meeting. well this clearly signals that the government believes that there are still yet worse times to come and the medical also stressed that the data was
10:03 pm
a bit shaky that they had to decide on and that there were grave concerns particular looking towards britain where this new strain of the virus is far more contagious than the corona strain that is currently seen mostly in germany so big concerns looking into the future and that's why this goes beyond those appeals we saw before christmas that there now will be also illegal measures in place essentially forcing people to give up those contacts restricting even more how many people can gather only one guest can come round for tea basically visiting one family and also once again the appeal to that already stricken economy here to employers to let people work from home in 3 weeks that will be the next gathering and clearly it's not being ruled out that we could see yet more restrictions put in place so how are germans likely to react. well they are actually likely to at
10:04 pm
least accept it many even welcome it the polling here in germany has continuously shown support for yet more restrictions folded lockdowns we've seen even going into this deep and deep down recently people a significant amount of people even want to get tough on lockdown that's what's going to happen now so there's strong backing for the government in particular machall who only 2 months ago failed to get state premiers behind that line that was recommended by scientists all along to have an early deep lock down so it doesn't have to last too long and so it makes a real difference now we're seeing that those vaccinations are simply not being rolled out fast enough as a large scale enough to make a real difference. but germany has started its vaccination program so how is the situation likely to have changed by the current
10:05 pm
a deadline of the 31st of january. well some $1300000.00 doses were delivered to the states and 16 states here and by the end of the year some $2700000.00 more are expected until the end of the month but there is a delay in getting this to the people although the health minister insists that it is lousy going according to plan the comparison with britain or the us particularly israel simply doesn't stand up to it right now there are good reasons political reasons yes one wanted to have a common line with europe but also the states will not have to pay out if anything goes wrong with those vaccines because they went through a process which is a difference to britain and the us who will have to pay up if something happens having said that germans are impatient and there is no $1.00 strategy to get to
10:06 pm
that age group of 80 plus so more than just a few hiccups and the vaccine still remaining silver lining fall for making that big difference everybody's hate hoping for i thank you for the. chief because you have to be kind of. is the cause more developments in this pandemic of the european union's negotiating with make is that the biotech pfizer vaccine to order between $50.10 additional doses according to the reuters news agency the english premier league has announced 48 new coronavirus cases amongst football players and stuff that's more than twice as many as last week indonesia will begin to nationwide vaccination program on the 13th of january and mexico has approved the use of the oxford vaccine the 2nd vaccine to get the go ahead ben. now to some other stories making news around the world 4 migrants have been found dead after their boat reached the spanish island of town of grief about 40 others survive the journey

10:08 pm
president trump was in georgia to bow to support from republican incumbent. david could do president elect joe biden is there to get out the vote for that democratic challenges polls show the candidates neck and neck and democrats need both seats in order to have a majority in the senate to clear the way mr. straight to georgia state capital atlanta then rejoined correspondent. so this is likely to be a close result with a lot riding on the income so just outline for us how much this vote in georgia can affect the national picture. well joe biden wants to undo many policies of the trump era of there's a lot of fields that he wants to tackle into an order to be able to do that to have the political power to be able to do that in washington d.c. he needs to have control over both chambers of u.s. congress there's the house of representatives of course that the democrats already
10:09 pm
control but what's at stake here are essentially and you mentioned it to senate seats and the democrats need those 2 seats they need to win both in order to be able to control senate in order to be able for joe biden to push through his policy ideas and proposals that he made if he doesn't win both of you only wins one for instance that would the republicans would be unable to obstruct his policies and he would essentially be a weak president joe biden from the day he takes office so i mean you're looking at what looks likely to be another record turnout so what is the thinking about which party has the edge. yeah well 1st of all americans are really tired after such a divisive election come pain for the presidential election and now it comes down to turnout here in the state of georgia we've seen record numbers in early voting of course we've seen also a record push by both democrats and republicans that we're sending thousands of
10:10 pm
canvassers out on the street you know to turn out the vote also half a 1000000000 u.s. dollars was spent by 2 parties by both parties so there is a lot at stake and a lot of effort undertaken there is some concern among the republican side that because of donald trump's demeanor and him bashing georgian officials in the last days and weeks also his continuing baseless claims about a rigged election that a lot of voters might think why bother why go out and cast your ballot if it's all a rigged and stolen election and the fears of course that that might reflect on the outcome of this election but as you mentioned it's still neck and neck race regarding to the polls meanwhile of course the president is still trying to overturn his defeats from no fan casting much of a shadow over today's events. or there is this group of senators says spearheaded by ted cruz of texas republican of course were trying to overturn that certification process in salman's tomorrow they have virtually no chances of
10:11 pm
success but what they're doing here is stirring up chaos and confusion and that is adding to donald trump's claims that we've been hearing and for that reason there was a very remarkable press conference yesterday by a georgian election official gabriel sterling who himself is a republican and he was really begging voters in georgia to not buy into those conspiracy theories because again the fear is that all of this might backfire and eventually hurt the republican incumbent candidates all of us and that's an atlanta georgia thank you. a saudi arabia's crown prince has signed a deal to bring qatar back into a coalition of gulf arab allies qatar leader co signed the agreement ending 3 years of isolation from its neighbors a number of gulf states cut ties with the catastrophe years ago accusing it of supporting terrorism or being too close to mira. the emir of qatar arrived in saudi arabia to be greeted by the kingdom's crime prince this moment settle

an embrace violating coronavirus guidelines sending a strong signal today we turn a new page shake to mean bin hamad our funny had not attended a gulf summit since the qatar crisis began in 2017 now his country is being welcomed back into the fold. this shake was whisked through the saudi desert to the shimmering summit venue in the 18th city of. gulf leaders posed for photographs before sitting down to sign a declaration of solidarity and stability saudi arabia had already announced it was lifting its in bargo on qatar on tuesday riyadh said it was restoring full diplomatic ties that these efforts helped us reach the agreement of the are all a statement that will be signed at this summit where we affirm our gulf arab and islamic solidarity and stability and strengthen the amicable relations between our
10:13 pm
countries in order to serve the interests of their people. the declaration seeks to end the dispute which is isolated cut off for more than 3 years in june 2017 saudi arabia the united arab emirates egypt and bahrain cut diplomatic ties with qatar they accused of supporting terrorist groups and of being too close to saudi arabia's arch fro iran. saudi arabia and its allies blockaded access to qatar by air land and sea leaving it completely cut off doha said the embargo violated international law. the blockading country's huge 13 demands despite qatar's vehement rejection of their allegations the list included closing down broadcast al-jazeera and grating ties with iran. fast forward to 2021 and no sign of major concessions from qatar so why the change of heart it's
10:14 pm
partly thanks to pressure from the outgoing us administration. and pressure from the incoming one joe biden is expected to take a firm a starts toward saudi arabia and to reengage with iran. but while riyadh seeks to unify arab ranks the declaration contains only a general pledge of solidarity the united arab emirates has said more work is needed while qatar is freed from the blockade full reconciliation is by no means certain. it's time to modify our top story at this hour german chancellor are going back over the natives of the country 16 states have announced details of new coronavirus measures the kind of lockdown will be extended to the end of january with tighter restrictions on social contacts for everyone and limits on movements the people living in corona virus obstacles. that's it you're up to date more world
