activities here after so many years of. a concert is lined up after a 5 month forced break the chamber orchestra is nervous but full of anticipation as it makes its way through cairo back on the road in masks the official infection rate is low in egypt but recently cases have been skyrocketing here as well the number of unrecorded cases is thought to be high one more reason to make this an open air concert with a small audience and organized by the culture ministry. what the comments on the over the moon i've missed the concert so badly that the atmosphere and experiencing everything together with my friends and i was all of you.

with the merest fun of it has become an expert on climate change. there's only enough moisture in the sand for the butterflies even though the rainy season just ended. up doing. is the mayor of found out a town in southern mali. it wasn't drawing 10 years ago now we can't plant rice any more we don't stop. we soon won't have any rain at all . a few months ago mayor coulibaly got a phone call from the capital bamako it was an invitation to take part in a seminar on climate change one that the mayor was happy to accept. as now for to me any. i've been opposed to the destruction of our forests for a long time. but thanks to the workshop i learned even more about the consequences

of deforestation. it inspired me to do more to protect nature and the environment. to get us. up to the i is one of around 3500 officials in mali who have taken part in the climate change seminars these days protecting the environment is on the agenda of almost every council meeting. most of foreigners 30000 residents are poor and subsist on what the land gives them cotton is the most important crop here. but growing it takes a lot of water. the niger river is an important lifeline for mali and supplies the country with water year round. but it's too far away for the farmers and finally they have to depend on rainwater. now that rain has become scarce many local

farmers have begun selling charcoal. mollies dependence on wooden charcoal for fuel is a major contributor to deforestation. funny and his brother my do are both farmers and also operate a small roadside stand. anymore because they're all here and we're not selling charcoal for fun. we know that climate change is real. i mean what can we do. if we land doesn't give us enough to survive on. if we had a choice stop selling charcoal. but things may be changing thanks to the new insights the mayor gained at the workshop. those new ideas have won over shaken. he and his family ran

a small farm on just 2 hectares of land in recent years the harvests have been too small recently shake mamadou started planting different crops now his family can make ends meet without destroying the forest. and a man told us that fewer trees means less rain. that's why i decided to stop making charcoal and start planting trees. are going to live off the. trees from my nursery and grow eucalyptus trees that i sell for lumber. he's already sold more than $10000.00 seedlings. conservationism is taking root in fine ever since the mayor launched his environmental campaign. into one i stand here and see this i get the feeling that we're on the right path in the fight against climate change. part of that

fight is helping farmers boost their harvest. at the workshop mayor coulibaly learned about new drought resistant seeds. he knows that people will move away if they don't have enough to eat. we realize that many people in the area were selling their farms and working in the gold mines because their harvest were too small. that's also a consequence of climate change. mamadou farm also thought about throwing in the towel and moving away his harvests had declined thanks to advice from climate change experts people. new millet seeds from farmer. they only need a single heavy rain to start growing and that made all the difference. be what

i used to only harvest one and a half tons of millet. with the new seeds i get 3 tons. that. the mayor knows that his work has just begun he plans to keep raising awareness in fana of the need to fight climate change. i hope more people take up the fight against climate change here. and then we'll have lots of trees and plenty of rain again. it's very important so that the coming generations will be able to live the way our grandparents did. used to see wild animals near the town now they're gone because the bush has vanished even. if climate change continues life will only become more difficult for the people

we must remember. it's hard sometimes to remember. but that's how we hear it's important to do that as a nation. that's why we're here today. the pandemic and the threat of violence means biden will be inaugurated to little pomp and ceremony but certainly an overflowing in-tray. and biden is hoping to jump start his agenda after inauguration day which includes a wanna point 9 a trillion dollar plan to tackle the pandemic it aims to carry out $100000000.00 vaccines by the 100th day of his administration as well as deliver another round to economic aid the race is on to save lives in california more than 34000 deaths have been reported and health care workers in some parts of the state are exhausted and traumatized. barely is in

a state of emergency while doctors scramble around the clock to save people's lives and says bring in covert patients every minute emergency rooms are on the verge of being overwhelmed nurse erin mcintosh has just finished her 12 hour shift in the e.r. her husband brian picks her up from work is there the. same or . higher sorry. covert 19 dominate aarons life for months no she's been using the journey home from work to process the day's events on explained over and over in my head is the fact that i'm like that don't look on his face when i went to his around 330 years ago and it's like he led. the good. times told the nurse licentious fell on a farm and i was sick of them in my arms and down in my car and think i'm talking

to someone you get dying in here in the hospital. these days death is a constant companion for erin and her colleagues every last borns itself into their collective memory they work until they are about to collapse. it simply is the worst thing i've ever experienced in my life. i have seen more death in these past 10 months than all of my 8 years at nursing combined and i'm i'm a critical care nurse i'm a co good nurse i respond to all codes in the hospital she has nightmares she has trouble sleeping if she can't go to work she feels guilty or she just. she's just not here either and she's physically here because she's still doing what she's doing with a lifetime of trauma and every cheers to tell me maybe every couple of months about a patient that died and now it's every day it's multiple patients and it's not and

from what she tells me it's not like a good way to go it's it's suffering erin is on route to her next 12 hour shift she knows that the toughest weeks are still to come her dedication reflects on julie's multiple people fighting. and turning to germany now which is getting tougher on the krona virus despite a drop in new infections the government has just announced measures that will see the current lockdown extended to mid february and impose a stricter rules about wearing masks german leaders hope the restrictions can stem the spread of new coronavirus variants believed to be more transmissible just as infection numbers were starting to decline in germany variant strains of covert 19 believed to be more contagious couldn't do all the hard work there have been isolated cases of some strains and authorities want to get on top of the

threat. it isn't just those the scientists tell us that it's is not yet dominant this still time so to speak to contain the dangerousness of course that would be wrong to conclude that we still have all the time in the wall to act we have to act now. so just over a month into germany's current shutdown the chancellor in the 16 state permian is agreed to extend the existing measures until mid february large parts of public life will remain closed like schools and day cats but also shops museums theaters and dine in restaurants there will be a lot more of these to be seen medical masks will be compulsory on public transport and in shops f f p 2 masks offer greater protection common surgical masks will also be allowed and this to be much more working from home the government is imposing

stricter rules to stop office workers from commuting as much reducing the infection risk on public transport germany's leaders are once again appealing for patients. it's hard what we have to expect of people but the precautionary principle has priority that's what we have to take into account and that is what we have taken into account today from now the public is mostly on side recent polling shows 40 percent are happy with stricter measures while just over 20 percent would prefer things to stay as they are but around a 3rd one tristrem actions to be eased or and completely before that happens there's likely to be some hard weeks ahead infection rates are still nearly 3 times the preferred level but with patience persistence and sticking to the rules authorities hope the pandemic will start to loosen its grip over

germany. well for more let's bring in chief political editor michelle who was at that press conference where markel spoke and stricter measures have been it just cited what is germany's strategy here well now it's shifting into a preventative strategy in fact a lot of those measures won't even deepen that terribly much only on schooling really there's no longer a requirement for children to be present anywhere in any in schools the real significance here is that there's an extension until moved fairbridge despite the fact that there is a downward trend in terms of the rate of new infections so that's positive news and yet german chancellor angela merkel insisted that now was the time to prevent those mutations of viruses taking over she cited particularly britain also ireland but potentially also brazil and south africa and the fear is with those strains believed to be way more contagious than the covered 19 we know so far that they

could be simmering underneath those decreasing figures those positive signals and that that then could suddenly be exponential growth so for now it's a message just hold out there and continue this lockdown here and many now what do you imagine chancellor angela merkel's mood will be after making this announcement . well she was trying to be a bit of beat but now germans will be required to wear a medical mask when they go into shops and on public transport there's also a legal requirement now for employers to allow for people to work from home unless there's a significant reason for them not to so this is yet another change she knows that this is a strain also on the patients of germans and yet she really signals that it is worth it and that she is once again simply following what the scientists have mapped out for her she's never really happen coming out of these hours long

meetings with the state premiers because it's a difficult one they are the ones who will the power in the end to implement these lockdown measures but she was trying to be upbeat when speaking of patients the meeting did take longer than expected what exactly was the hold up well there's something like a traditional sticking point here which is schooling because because that clearly is within the or storage of the individual federal states here in germany and there has been quite a patchy scene in terms of which children must not go to school atoll somewhere still required to go well that has now been evened out there's no requirement for kids to go to school but as much as there is a looming fear of the move taishan of viruses there's also a growing tangible concern amongst the citizen make is that the social factor could get just as pressing as the medical factor here in this pandemic our chief political editor michelle thank you very much. to italy now where prime minister

josep a condo has survived a crucial vote of confidence allowing him to stay in power a contest failed to secure an absolute majority meaning he now heads a minority government that will struggle to implement its policies this as the country faces an economic and a health crisis. rack the no i mean me. it went right down to the wire in a vote of confidence in the italian senate prime minister just managed to narrowly scrape a win there after all the you know their bonus after a tough year living through a pandemic which hit italy harder than most other countries this power move could hardly have come at a worse time sparked by former prime minister matthew renzi leader of the junior coalition party italian. all it's now or never for an economic recovery if we

continue with these policies mean we keep focusing on little projects then we'll never get out of this crisis we have a national debt of 160 percent the countries children confined to their homes will have to by the financial burden of this crisis. renzi is calling for italy to access the 200000000000 euros in the e.u.'s post pandemic bailout fund a move rejected by contact he has admitted that his government has made mistakes in the handling of the coronavirus crisis but said the nation deserve to have a stable government or you corporate europe help us here in the senate to continue our efforts as quickly as possible help us to heal the wounds of this crisis as fast as possible with the trust that our citizens have invested in us. so not often arity winning a simple majority in the senate the government a coalition of the 5 star movement and the democratic party have avoided fresh elections for now the government limps on but without a strong mandate to govern at
