because sitting. in for migrants your platform for reliable information. this is the news live from perth in the mediterranean sea a humanitarian ship carrying hundreds of risky. stock at sea able to find a place to dock as in the area. in portugal almost every day brings with it record numbers of new coronavirus cases despite this voters of urge to venture out to the polls in person to elect a new president. and a living mana supreme pulled from a mine in china after 14 days underground hundreds of rescue us have been working

to free the men who were trapped after an explosion at the site. i'm anthony held welcome to the program a humanitarian ship carrying more than $370.00 people including a one month old baby is urgently seeking to talk at a mediterranean sea port as in the area worsens the migrants from guinea sudan and seer of the young were picked up after trying to cross to europe in rubber dinghies viking cruise said after calls to libya when the rescue ship has now approached malta and italy with requests to be taken in the vessel is currently in international waters between italy and libya. let's bring in the on the chin york in the berth in the from the rescue organization s.o.s.

mediterranean young of what are you hearing from the ship are they any signs that they will be able to adopt so. well good afternoon unfortunately not 373 people that we rescued in 4 consecutive rescues and those same pride 8. desperately waiting to be assigned a place of safety where they can kind of leave reach land. tell us about the migrants on board the ocean viking right now. well as i said we rescued 374 people in port different rescues on thursday friday. we currently have 300. 37 survivors on board after a woman in the late stage of. pregnancy was medically evacuated to lampedusa yesterday in the afternoon we now have a lot of small children on board we have 8 babies under the age of one and a lot of the survivors suffer from sea sickness the weather has to top deteriorated

rapidly since last night the children's other ones suffer most they can keep that feed on the ground we've got a 5 year old who is now under observation in our onboard clinic. we still have 3 pregnant women so what the situation is really really stressful for those people. and with that in mind what is it your organization is asking from european countries and the e.u. . well what we're asking for most is that the hardship of these 373 people now has to and they have to go on land in a place of safety and as soon as possible beyond that we need a mid term long term solution for the humanitarian situation in the central mediterranean we need a clear solidarity makan ism where rescue people from distress at sea can disembark and which you countries take them in and we finally need your estates to take over

responsibility for search and rescue in the central mediterranean. what do you say to people who imply that rescue operations like this could bring in balding migrants in africa to try the dangerous journey to europe. well i think on one side we have the empirical evidence that this doesn't hold water people don't leave their countries of origin or transit countries. because there are tips that could possibly rescue them this is what we know empirically on the other hand i think we need to keep in mind the reasons why people flee and these reasons are not it to be found at sea these reasons are to be found on land such as libya. thank you very much thanks for having me. well germany has introduced new tougher restrictions for travelers arriving from countries designated as high risk due to 19 border police stepped up controls at german airports for passengers from around

30 countries designated as high risk or with high numbers of virus variants all travelers now need to show a negative coronavirus test taken not more than 48 hours before arriving in germany . men or germany's now but the czech republic is on that high risk list the new rules will affect thousands of people who cross the border every day to work in germany be queues built up once the new regulations came into force but quite a few that would it goes on like this i think i'll quit my job in germany because i don't need this it's probably not worth it anymore you can't do this all the time with a test of 3 or 4 times a week waiting here for 2 hours if it's not possible covered up and lopes even crossed the border workers are only thinking about how to get their tests they will not be able to think about anything else the quality of their work will come 2nd. book them across the border with the test on monday morning i'd have to do it

before the start of work you know is it's not a problem for me but i understand that an employee in a factory for example will have a problem because that means they would be at least i won 2 hours late for work on monday morning but i knew many manuals would you need to be as well as you feel you donna. well another country on germany's high risk list is portugal voters they're going to the polls today to elect a new president despite a deepening coronavirus crisis in the country incumbent. is regarded as the clear front runner for the post which is largely ceremonial election organizers have increased the number of polling stations and allowed for early voting to avoid crowding at the ballot box portugal is battling the worst corona virus infection rate in the world the 7 day incidence right there is $785.00 for context that means portugal has a rate more than double that of the u.k.

and the you with 7 times that of germany. correspondent philip schultz joins us now from lisbon philip why are the numbers so high now in portugal what went wrong. it's apparently mainly due to a new variant of the corona virus coming from the united kingdom at least in the beginning. because government was quite slow in reacting to the new challenge to me though we know by now that it's more contagious and probably even more deadly than older forms of the virus so this is the main reason why. infection numbers so high you're at the moment. it given what we know that it's more deadly and more infectious and the infection right is running out of control given that situation why have the authorities deemed in voting necessary rather than miley. well that's a question that

a lot of portuguese spend so at the moment i'll start by showing that 2 parts of all parts of us would have preferred a different form of election or a postponement of the elections about to be fair there was a chance of early voting and voting and there were any volunteers going from door to door to make sure that the most vulnerable groups can cast their ballot but this applies to probably only 200250000 portuguese and now a lot of legal experts that stress that the constitution doesn't really allow big art changes or even a postponement of the procedure of the election so the government was in a very difficult situation here. what is the government been doing to get this situation under control. well concerning the elections there are

a lot of extra measures in place of course the usual measures to do 3 thing everybody you know. doesn't share the pain with anybody else and of course a lot of money ties us everywhere regarding the situation in the old country. it's basically stricter and stricter lockdown measures by the day that started in the 10 wary with lockdown. first groups remained open and this was largely criticize the government changed its mind and also closed the schools at the very last minute on friday so we are really more let's not complete lockdown here in part to go at the moment except of course for the possibility to go to the police station today. next day which the young philip schultz thank you so much. and from lisbon let's take a look now at some more pandemic news from other parts of the world a new zealand has reported its 1st coronavirus case out of

year right now singh says has dropped in a government regulated market where he's supposed to get a dad indeed flow praise. the new laws allow him to sell outside this market to private places but seeing and other farmers feel that this will eventually lead to the government withdrawing its guaranteed price support. if these laws are implemented we will lose the land what will become of us then we will have to leave farming and look for jobs and they'll make big storage units big businesses will lose everything. we're going to go and sing doesn't plan to allow it he's heading to new delhi to join thousands who have been through testing at the capital's borders for almost 2 months now. preet his 14 year old son to look after things while singh is away there is plenty

to do tending the buffaloes watering the crop sprinkling 40 lasers and best sites. feeding the car for 9 away ok. singh says he should get a government a short price of 800 rupees or about 20 euros for every 100 kilograms of beat he sells. he often doesn't get that because of middlemen. he's afraid that in a free market even that low price would be impossible to get. think that's to be gone for a month. you know everything and it's your responsibility once i leave what if we don't worry we'll do it. with one of the farms it is time for singh to go build his temporary home one piece. of wood up

with. these tractors are commonly used by farmers to tend to the fields or to transport produce. now for the protests singh and others like him are building temporary structures on to the stylings. even equipping them with lights and charging points with them we sometimes do this when we travel for fairs and festivals so is this like a festival done no this is a protest this work is permanent not like other day long fairs. the government has repeatedly told farmers that going to the free market will allow them to get competitive prices. but farmers were not consulted before the laws were passed these say they don't trust the government because of its perceived closeness to big corporate lawyer. since some good pretense already spent 10 days at the protest camp last month he vicious he could go again. but he has to stay back to attend

school and to the field. polyphony here. he does deferentially awful words of wisdom for his father. but my father is a grown up so what advice could i offer although i'd like to tell him it gets really cold there so i'd suggest you take a lot of warm clothes. the rest of your handle. and sing is planning ahead for the call and the help of his wife and daughter. should i pack question you got a yes it's warm got to bring my jacket since daughter coleman says she cannot remember her father ever being overly for more than a couple of days she's voted but also proud to have you got your soap and shampoo. the family has one last night together before singh has to head out today.

the former union committee requests all villagers heading to delhi to please pack and load your bags and start heading out the. the coil to move comes while it is still dark out singh grabs a moment to offer a prayer they have to be on their v. at the crack of dawn. bunging the court has never left her husband's side. now she accepts that if the laws are not repeated he may keep returning to the protests repeatedly for months and we see a better better we've never stayed apart this is the 1st time that he's leaving me i really want to go with him but the kids' schools have opened so i stayed back there. singh says even get indeed trays of food at the government market right now doesn't cover his costs he is already in heavy debt and getting any less the money

would sink the hopes of his family. even force him to sell off his land. good prieto wants to take over the farms one day from his father. they be applying to colleges soon and would like to study engineering in canada and i'm very proud that my father is going to be a part of this movement he has to be our land is at stake which is like a mother to us. the prime minister she remember that is the farmer's grain. the farmers vote that has made him what he is. many of. the farmers have gathered. it is time to be on their feet. they'd be on the dude did midnight tonight and then again for 7 or 8 hours the next day. but spirits are high.
