. a math anyhow and welcome we start in russia where more than 5000 people have been arrested during a 2nd wave of nationwide anti-government protests according to rights groups more than 1500 people were detained in the capital moscow including the wife of the opposition leader alexei navalny demonstrators gathered near the prison when the family is being held but protests took place across russia on sunday from siberia in the east to some petersburg in the west. the valleys arrest earlier this month has increased tensions of the corruption and a lack of democratic freedoms in russia as our correspondents found out on the streets today but also calling on the political class don't feel used to being told

what to do being controlled by young people used to organizing them so that's why i came here today because i want to take in what is happening in my country we want you to go what do you do it's a disgrace. they've stolen everything traumas. i live near oil and gas fields and they're just stealing is all that i mean yes i have a 2 year old son and if putin stays in power for the next 16 years since he's planning it through then my son will grow up with him and i don't think anything will come of it before you do it well doubly correspondent on the show when is in moscow and said demonstrators were determined together despite a huge police presence. authorities in moscow tried their best to prevent these protests today from happening at all there was a huge police presence on the ground in moscow and the authorities had blocked off a huge chunk of the center of the city rerouting buses and closing metro stations
12:03 am
but what we saw today was kind of like a cat and mouse game between the police and protesters and it was kind of unprecedented alex enough team was coordinating the movement of protesters via the social media platform telegram and every time police blocked off one spot in the city they would tell protesters to move somewhere else now there were somewhat flee fewer protesters on the streets of moscow today than there were a last week at mass protests but people seemed just as determined not to go home despite the huge police presence and they told me that this protest is not so much about alexina himself even though they were calling for his release people told me that this is about fighting for a better future and a better russia. and only show one in moscow there the european union says drug maker astra zeneca has agreed to make up part of the vaccine shortfall it announced

12:17 am
candles a visual reminder of those who've died from coven 1000. he's not the only one doing this. germany may have done better than other countries at the beginning of the pandemic but the death toll now stands at more than 50000. and that's about it yes during the 1st wave of other countries had these kinds of numbers and i felt like we just accepted it here with a shrug. we thought we needed images to make death something you can see. that's why we started this initiative. in authority because. many people come here to talk about the disturbingly high number of new cases others come because they've lost someone says i'm far from the father it's just a question of where you can show grief or where can you go to experience this feeling peacefully like in a cemetery and that's how it should be here that i'm sorry others want to make

a statement to show that the corona virus is a real danger. and they stink up the feel of the there are so many people who just deny the whole thing we should all just hold back to keep our distance so that this pandemic ends and not so many people have to die if you're in jordan even this time isn't at another coronavirus memorial in berlin ingrid johnson is mourning robert maas ari a friend from new york he died of covert at the age of 72 she says he was a man of many talents. and then for none of his many talents was that he was a lyric baritone and sang in different operas. always discuss. but i think that this memorial here and this is storks where it is a beautiful place for him especially because so many wonderful concerts have taken

12:20 am
. i don't know this is how we normally wash our clothes and then we'll home our hands by the fire. we don't have electricity we don't have water we don't know what to do authorities blame the power outage on a surge thought to be caused by illegal wiretaps to power cannabis grow operations in sectors 6. most of madrid's illegal narcotics come through here we can film openly here it's too dangerous but people we speak to confirm they too have no electricity. back in sector 5 a mother who wants to stay anonymous invites us into her house the kids are bundled up and tending classes online but just as long as her phone charger and mobile data lost. when they get upset i try to give them strength i tell them imagine you were sick
12:21 am
or he didn't have hands i was trying to give them strength i realise that i don't have any more strength myself. it's a similar story for neighbors one man likely died due to the cold and the baby was hospitalized with hypothermia. many are resorting to using propane diesel generators car batteries or stoves. it's expensive and very risky says rahma from the neighborhood association. she says that at least 40 people here have suffered carbon morningside poisoning. but in all their death be a light fires and when they notice that the fires dwindle and they throw on more logs on to keep the house warm and because the fire consumes the oxygen this has adverse effects they wake up with headaches or nausea that is a money order that will need those several n.g.o.s have condemned the situation
12:22 am
here. is how to feed back door if you're not but like i know that they are in 2017 the authorities signed a regional agreement ensuring dignified living conditions for the residents of the county that we are. all there so say this is this is completely end of it in this agreement also cover to providing electricity to the settlement we need to electrical some few families have been offered gas heaters and the opportunity to relocate the power utility now wants to shut down illegal taps however many here in kenya that reality feel forgotten i think that if authorities were serious about helping would already have tables clear solutions. landfill sites in russia are a growing health hazard most garbage is simply thrown away and talks in safety levels at the dumping grounds go ignored for many of the people who live close by moving
12:23 am
away is just not an option. as this is the elections keep it it's as big as 45 soccer fields and is just one of dozens of garbage dumps on the outskirts of moscow or president say just a few years ago with the paper was still deep in the ground now it's more of a hill and as if the garbage piles up the locals health problems due to the dump lies just a few. 100 meters from the village of novel shop of all. of us hometown the mother of 2 says that some days the smell from the side was so bad she couldn't even open the windows and the kids jaroslava and where often sick fantasy of a finally had enough she and her children moved to clean as city several kilometers

12:32 am
to global visions right now on breath. test divides opinion like no other car you either love this electric car from california or you hate it. so we're going to find out how good test. really is and whether there's a car out there that can beat the premium model the model x. . tesla's 1st challenger the. high tech luxury from germany. $435.00 horsepower and 3 electric motors. auto expertise and love into one. next to.
12:33 am
the embodiment of good old combustion engine talk about eye candy and it's not just nice to look at under the hood 580 horsepower 8 cylinder by ferrari. has its own share of mediterranean flair to the new luxury car leads the way when it comes to design and it packs a punch the $310.00 horsepower is right off the shelf. despite its nordic cool. 60 cross country. hearts racing with its higher chassis and 4 wheel drive it has all the practical advantages of the station wagon. the interior is a mix of scandinavian chic and sustainability and its $250.00 horsepower engine is nothing to be sneezed at. then there's the key
12:34 am
a sorento it's got room for 7 people plenty of luggage the only one that comes near that is the tesla the key is impressive interior also boasts perfect. and the brand new $200.00 horsepower diesel engine will probably be the last to be specially developed. ok. we are now here. driving in linton. and here we have provided some very tough challenges for our cars. this is a head tester you often play evades these but hundreds of cars through their paces and taken them to their limits. the. first stop is the
12:35 am
audi plenty of power and traction but like all electric cars they each transport back is heavy. very happy with 2 and a half tons to push around the narrow winding track is there any room for a sporty feeling. john this is a real. feel like one yes it's the sport of cards that are most often predicting. right. now it's the montserrat he's turned its ferrari motor drives it so hard it's a wonder the tarmac doesn't crack. but is that enough to make it a fast car in the turns. at 2 point one tons it's got 400 kilos on the electric cars and this track asks a lot of gears and brakes. and gets his all and crosses the line in almost the same time as the audi. time but the tesla victory
12:36 am
seems certainly a ludicrous mode mobilizes $796.00 horsepower surely that's more than enough. 26.8 seconds puts it in a dead heat with the audi. but. it is the most powerful does it feel like. probably 3 times more a good performance on the race track so i think it's good made for those you can order food if you're going to driving on the rest of the park. but if you if you want to i don't. last up to say i at $1.00 times it's the lightweight in the pack and it's $310.00 horsepower are more than enough on the curvy track and thanks to its nifty gearbox it finishes the course in the best time 26.2 seconds. on the corporal really looks sporty and does it drive like this more than this car
12:37 am
is perfect for this track it's really for. them as a rock and so for my own and i think of for profit counterstrike from all the car. of course the volvo in aquia have to pass the handling test too but we will spare them the stop watch all you often is interested in is they feel safe on the road and he has no complaints easygoing understeers both of them. the next challenge is the excel aeration test with a little twist or using a wet track the friction coefficient here is roughly what you would expect on a wet cobblestones. the audi in the tesla face-off 5 times and 5 times the audi comes out on top. now we can see what 30 years of experience building quatro drives as were. the electronics control the 3 electric engines with such a split 2nd precision that the test was extra power can't keep up with it. but
12:38 am
the tesla does save face by beating the montserrat and all 5 tests. now it's time for the off road section. a quick warmup on a steep sand track poses no major problems for any of the 5. and why would it be the real test is the waterfall. you know been you know when you go up there take the line of least resistance you can tell by the flow of the water
12:39 am
water also takes the line of least resistance so that's where the ground is least on even if this is important if you have the option choose the off road mode and the key take either snow or mud we've set it to mud from what's vital on this slope which is really slippery because it's wet but is not to lose momentum on us you don't find fault he has never take your foot entirely off the gas it's also a mistake to give it too much gas because that takes away the traction ox so keep your foot on the gas but be sure it's neither too much not too little and you have to get a feel for the missions domes and dismiss the. only 2 of the cars have enough ground clearance for this test 1st out is the montserrat a good balance is up the river bed like a mountain goat and on stuff of old blend of power and grit.
12:40 am
no problem for the key either but for different reasons. it's electronic traction control makes for a smoother ride despite the rough surface. if only life could always be that easy thank the. the last test is for the electric cars only charging. when the audi needs to be charged frequently. and these wintry conditions the 95 kilowatt hour bad. he was off and left after just 200 kilometers. and you need the right charging hard. charging itself as fast. after a good half hour there are another $200.00 k. in the car. all the same limited range is the big problem for the audi. the only way to save battery is to take it easy on the car.
12:41 am
that tesla is another animal altogether when it comes to charging. one battery charge gets 561 kilometers and the w l t p test. we got 400 kilometers out of it. and there's no need for a charging car because the car in the charging station would recognize each other when you plug in the cable. time for the grand finale and the answer to the question can anyone beat the test and how. the maharani would clean up if it weren't so expensive prices with the ferrari engine started 134000 euro's. test model goes for 155000 making it by far the most expensive car in our competition. is the people's
12:42 am
champion small white sporty and at $45000.00 euros you could almost say it's a bargain. but bobo is easily the most sensible at 50000 euros it's proof that stationwagon speak s.u.v.s any day. of the key has its nose in front on several counts of space fuel efficiency multimedia equipment it has a starting price of 41000 euros the car we tested cost 57000 but you do. a lot of bang for your bucks. the audi easily wins most categories great gearbox finally finished powerful but intelligent drive. but the price is high at $96000.00 euros and the range is too short. which leaves us with the tesla starting at 103000 euros it's even more expensive than the audi but it's considerably more spacious and it's drive is unrivaled. the finishing is not quite
12:43 am
up to scratch though. so we are now standing here in front of the construction site of the new. factory at brandenburg they want to build up to 500000 cars a year here this is sensational but the question was can you beat a tesla how to beat a tesla and the answer is yes you can comment a fetcher is from asia and europe have proven they can build better cars but the power of innovation the spirit of. the crown this time goes. well done. and now we check out a special taxi driver in jordan.
