h.t. and as soon as possible beyond that we need a long term solution for the humanitarian situation in the central mediterranean we need a clear solidarity makan is where rescue people from distress at sea can disembark and which you countries take the men i'm replying to me need your states to take over responsibility for search and rescue in the central mediterranean. a senior european union diplomat is warning bosnia and herzegovina that the country must do more to help hundreds of migrants stuck in freezing conditions if the already have been widely criticized for failing to provide shelter or heating the water says bosnia has to play by the rules if it wants to become a member of the union ahmad is hacking wood for a fire to help fight off the cold he and his young daughter travelled here from afghanistan and now occupy an abandoned house in the north of bosnia. it's

a big problem here because. north. of there they've been stranded here for 3 months they survive thanks to donations of food from locals they want to join relatives in germany but when they try to move on the croatian border police sent them back they don't want to go to a refugee camp. and one room. with 6 famously to get out. it's a big problem the little refugee camp is a few kilometers away heating and electricity are supposed to be installed soon but progress is slow the conditions are deplorable some migrants have become ill the police won't allow us to film inside the camp. only some to. hate that port hole where that but now some to and. we need right now water we.

haven't taken shower because. some men wash themselves in an ice cold pond and then warm up at a small fire from pakistan has been here for 7 months. and . they even ambassador recently visited the camp and called on bosnian authorities to live up to their obligations and improve the situation this is an obligation for both now it's a signatory to un conventions it wants to become a member of the european 3 has to abide by those rules brussels has been making threats like these for days people in the nearby town of b. hawk don't want the migrants and hit back at the e.u. ambassador. honestly this is not bosnia is problem this is an easy you problem we have our own problems the e.u. gives us money but why don't they come here personally to help us solve this problem but winning the blame game won't help ward off the cold that's left to the

generosity of behalf locals there ensuring migrants like ahmed and his daughter won't freeze to death this winter. germany has introduced new tougher restrictions for travelers arriving from countries designated as high risk because they have high numbers of covert 19 infections or widespread cases of the new more contagious variant of the virus border police stepped up controls at german airports for passengers from around 30 countries all travelers no need to show a negative coronavirus test taken less than 48 hours before arriving in germany. germany's neighbor the czech republic is on the high risk list the new rules will affect thousands of people who cross the border every day to work in germany big queues built up once the new regulations came into force but if you put it all that 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 and you can't do this all the time with attempts to do it 3 or 4 times a week you know waiting here for 2 hours ago it's not possible but covered would have been profitable auto workers are now 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 at 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 manual would you need to be as well as you wouldn't . in another country on germany's high risk list is portugal voters there are going to the polls to elect a new president today despite a deepening coronavirus crisis in the country incumbent incumbent marcelo rebel oh d'souza is regarded as the clear front runner for the largely ceremonial post

know that's it's also what most of us say it could even be as low as 30 to 40 percent. that's. why is the. i think it's mainly due to the spread of the new variance of the virus from the u.k. and probably also some facts out there in that station a measure of during their christmas said period but regarding the new variant. of 4 degrees government has been quite slow in reacting to it especially at the beginning of the spread of the new variants and new data suggests that much as 30 to 40 percent of new cases here and in the capsule have lispunds. due to the new variant of device how is the government reacting what is. under control.

well basically it's introducing stricter and stricter measures basically every day that started in january with. the lockdown but not a complete lockdown because the government kept groups open which was harshly criticized and they also changed their minds a few days later they are all so close now so we have basically you know complete knocked down here in portugal at the moment except of course the possibility to go to the police station to vote just a quick last question if i may because a lot of countries a lot of democracies are going through the coronavirus crisis why didn't more people vote by by mail there it's much safer. authorities say it's basically impossible from a logistic point of view there was the possibility for early voting but only around

$200000.00 or to make use of it and legal experts also stress that it's very difficult to change procedures and even to postpone an election due to the constitution all right thank you so much for that reporting from lisbon and let's take a look now at some more pandemic news from other parts of the world at this hour. israel has expanded its covert 19 vaccination drive to include 16 to 18 year olds with parental permission the government says it will allow them to return to school and take exams israel has the world's highest vaccination rate and hopes to reopen its economy next month. the european union council she shall michelle has warned covert 19 vaccine manufacturers of possible legal consequences after they announced delays in delivering doses vaccine parkers biotech and pfizer is blamed of supply
