9:32 pm
a very different account. so well, 1st and foremost i must emphasize all i have never said or wrote about any one sexually assaulting me since she did she all, that's a very important point. ah, welcome to the day i chilion have elected a new president after an awful polarizing election campaign. the victor left is to gabrielle borage. she is a 35 year old, former student activist, one residing 56 percent of the vote defeating his far right rival. jose antonio cast by a wide margin than expected polishes victory promised as a shift towards walk progressive policies and a generational change. ah, historic and jubilant victory with 35 year old gabrielle borage, chile now has it's youngest ever president. he was helped to vote the barricade to
9:33 pm
take to the stage and recognized the people who had put him in power. the left wing, former student leader, had tapped into their anger at the country's economic model, and the inequality it is brought to when 56 percent of the vote. what do you see? i guarantee that i will be a president who cares for democracy and does not risk it. who listens more than he speaks, seeks unity and attends to the needs of the people daily. i will firmly fight against the privileges of a few, and i will work every day for the quality of the chile and family. he'll let you know from you. his promises range from protecting the environment to tackling chiles. private pension system and his followers are full of hope. a legal anyway,
9:34 pm
i had placed in in the history of chalet, shirley, a national center. most of them we have made so much progress now we will move forward with social rights and continue to advance. and finally against the far right, unlike them. c with the high though to turn out bridge squarely beat the far right candidate, jose antonio cast, but cast was dignified in his defeat. he the middle you get or said accredited, that earth thing i want to do is congratulate gabrielle borage. he deserves all of our respect. he won fairly many children's trust him and we hope he will lead a good government going. and in the ways we can with our legitimate differences, we want to help our nation. the more said when i bought the battle about the the night though, belongs to burridge, who harolds a new political dawn for chile, australia to santiago did chalet where we joined the derby reporter benjamin varner said group a welcome ben. i'm so this presidential runner brought out
9:35 pm
a historic vote. what was it that made so many people a want to vote it wasn't historic, voted was a record vote. it was the highest voter turnout since voting is not mandatory anymore. in chile, it was even higher than for the referendum off the new constitution. a big reason for why so many people went out and had to the streets, is that all the options and the opinions and the ideas that both candidates a so m forage on the left wing and also cos anthony cost the far right candidate have are opposite when it comes to many things, and they were appealed by the ideas of copper in florida when it comes to increasing air rights of women when it comes to including and the indigenous population. also similar ideas that are being treated in this constitutional assembly that were more appealed by his ideas. and that's what they went out. of course, when they only had 2 options, it was not the 1st case in the 1st round when they had 6 candidates who wanted to
9:36 pm
become jill as next president. right? so, so what are the top 2 things and, and the president elects and tre so what's most important for gabrielle? laura is something that has been repeated over the past month is reducing inequality. if we look at sheila, one percent of the population has earned more than 25 percent of the worth of a chili. when we look, it's a really, really big difference. it chilly is not a poor country, but there is a very big difference when it comes to a small part of the population that has a lot of money. and the big part of that population who don't have that much, and that's what he wants to reform the health system, the pension system vacation system. he also wants to look at climate change in chile, in regions that have a lot of problems with that. so he has many plans for his presidency that will start in march of next year. and it all sounds you, you went through alyssa, welfare education, pensions that all sounds really expensive and he was painted as sort of
9:37 pm
a radical communist in quite a vicious campaign. so how does he convince the rich not to take their money and run, but rather to stay and invest quite a vicious campaign? you said it was a toxic campaign that we have, and the far i'd candidate always attacked gabriel. burridge calling him from the fall left you to the support of the communist party, even though he has different stand than the chilion communist party when it comes, for example, to nicaragua, to venezuela. that's nothing new. the campaign and holding someone common is not only in chiller, but also latin america. and we look at what it does it mean to vote for a left wing candidate? it's not new. in the past presidential campaign, he called the left wing candidate. they said that if he won the presidency, sheila will become sheila swell as always pointing to was direction saying that if there is the left when candidate that sheila will become either any cut out well venezuela. but of course, the markets have reacted and there are
9:38 pm
a lot of companies who are not so sure about all these changes in oldest reforms, and that will come so he will try with to see with the message. and of course, what's important is that an are not the promises that he made during this campaign, but the actions that if he will be able also to fulfill this promise. yes, let's talk about that then because right, he's got the job now. now he has to, to, to put his campaign, his, his election platform through congress. water is ties a to the path is in congress and how, how amenable is congress like me to be to his agenda? of course, congress is important for the president. he has no clue majority in both chambers, so he will need to find agreements not only within his in the left wing parties, but across the political spectrum. he has to see how we can people, for his ideas formed the left wing parties. there are divisions, there was a lot of fighting also during the campaign so we will have to see and will be
9:39 pm
outgoing. president told him as an advice, it's not the same thing being a candidate and being a president. so he has to see if he can fulfill this idea, especially now with a country that has been struck by the co with 19 pandemic. and of course, the economic situation in chile also, well maybe not let him with to concede and to succeed with the plans that he has on mind right now we're, we are, we saw a very gracious concession speech from merge jose antonio cast. despite this vicious campaign, so how does a president burridge now stop chilion politics on society becoming hugely divided that's very important. he has had a unified approach. he said that his talk with co sampling of gas with a, the fall right candidate, the conceded and that talk with the conservative president, he met him in the alimony in the presidential palace today said it's very important . and that's quite incredible. if we think that poles close at 6 p m local time in
9:40 pm
less than 2 hours later, he had a talk with the outgoing president and also with the other candidates. so that of course shows how important this democratic process is. and that he also thinks that it's important now to be the president of every one. and she'll and not just for those who voted for him. okay, thank you for that. benjamin alvarez gruber report from santiago to chevy. ah, just over a month ago, chinese tennis, a superstar peng way, a claim she'd been raped by china's former vice premier john gully. her allegations came in a detailed post from her account on chinese social media part waiver. now she is denying that any sexual assaults took place late. the statement was made during an interview with singapore bass, chinese newspaper. chinese language newspaper pen was apparently in shanghai
9:41 pm
promoting next year's winter olympics in beijing is a click of the video that emerge from matt exchange. for 1st and foremost, i must emphasize. i have never said or wrote about anyone sexually assaulting me tedious yeah, that's a very important point. there's a very interesting when you consider the wording of that to denial, she says she denies saying or writing about a sexual assault, a very roundabout way of denying that an assault actually took place. she could simply have said no, there was no sexual assault or comments the latest in a series of events that appear to down play, the initial allegations she made in november to do nothing to see here. come, fly now says she never wrote a social media post accusing form of vice premier jungle lee of sexual assault. it's the latest doubling down to avoid a potential public relations fiasco for china's ruling communist party footage of
9:42 pm
pung, posted by a state media reporter on twitter shows with former n b, a basketball star yell mean? yeah. was probably the most recognizable chinese sports though overseas, and the member of the communist party is top advisory body, singapore, leon hoods. i'll ball chinese language newspaper, rent, video of pung in full, petro, it gob. a china logo on her jacket and a red t shirt, bearing the characters for china. the newspapers report a aspen for clarifications about her allegations. and this is what pung said, oh, when we were on the way, bo post. that's my personal issue. i think, you know, i know there are many misunderstandings, 3, but there is no distorted interpretation. they seem to be no distorted interpretations when pung, initially made the post in november. but then it was quickly scrub from the chinese
9:43 pm
web, but not before screenshots were posted on twitter. setting off a global outcry, she disappeared after the accusation, and there were concerns for her safety. she reappeared at a tennis tournament in beijing weeks later with the message that she was safe and well. the international olympic committee supported the official version and held a video chat with pung some 3 weeks after the initial posting. it remains confident that she is fine, and her stuck to its message despite criticism. we all are her who are having the same impression and her that her. we could not to feel her being under under pressure. the i see was accused of staging a publicity stunt as calls grow to boycott. next years, winter games in bay. jing and the women's tennis association remains unconvinced.
9:44 pm
c, e o steve simon said in good conscience, i don't see how i can ask our athletes to compete there. when punctuate is not allowed to communicate freely and has seemingly been pressured to contradict her allegation of sexual assault. there still no comment from jungle lee or the communist party hierarchy about the accusations, nor any expected. but for now repeated claims that nothing happened. and that ponies find being greeted mostly skepticism. let's explore this river jato wang who's a senior china researcher for human rights watch. she joins us at from new york. welcome to d w. m. if publish, wife says she's fine and she didn't and she didn't essay. all right, what we all thought she'd said and written shouldn't we believe her? just let her get on with a life? i don't think so. i don't see. we should have believed the interview because the chinese government has done this so many times before to so many people,
9:45 pm
they forcibly disappear somebody, they don't like. what is that human rights, lawyer, activist, celebrity, obedient near them, make them reappear, or some videos seen there. i'm doing great, don't worry about me, or i confess to this crime. these had been played out many times before. push ice case just fits into this historical pattern. that's why we shouldn't believe it. and so what is your concern about? so what do you think has happened or might be happening too? well, i believe she's out of surveillance. she on to harassment, she's be watched by the government. not only her people around her must be watched by the government. the government is threatening her with some kind of message and tell her to say, what did they want her to say? again, this has been played a many times before. some of those people went on tv to say, you know, i confessed my crime eventually left the china and they said, you know, i didn't want to say that i was tortured. so i have to say that. so what would
9:46 pm
satisfy you? that punctually is actually safe where i think, you know, it gets closer, wants to leave china, let her to leave china. you know, then she will have some freedom to say what she wants to say at least to her physical pra. simply would it be guaranteed. oh, the other hand, if the chinese really wants to prove that he's, oh wow, she's all fine then stop answering tonight, let everybody discuss the issue. lastly, you know, had initially elijah sexual assault allegations land a fair, an investigation into this allegation. okay, well that would be quite a, quite a change if, if trying to work to actually launch a fair and transparent investigation. to weston i is the chinese government's efforts to quell, be international interest and criticism. in this case, it looks clumsy. we have that the hostage videos as i've seen them described. and now this so it because it's so clumsy, one wonders, what will,
9:47 pm
what are they trying to to, to achieve? do they really expect us to believe this? well, i think that's what they wanted to do and they are out of, you know, since friday and who walks up because the rest of the worry is not convinced about this, but i think that's what they try to do on the on it, it doesn't then you know, they're still insulated on a standard that the rest, the road doesn't work. you know, as the chinese government, as they can use media environmental works. you know, there are independent voices, their media, their ways of verifying information that the, the government is completely foreign to that kind of environment that they don't know how to convince the rest of the world. right. ok, so the united states and others have announced a diplomatic, a boycotts of the, the winter olympics. should that we go further? well, i think this is the 1st step to show that we don't want it to be used as a political to, to legitimize your human rights abuses,
9:48 pm
to validate your governance model. we don't want it to be part of that, but that's the 1st step in the u. s. government, and in many european governments should do more than that. i mean, the u. s. government just passed a law to prevent a forced labor product from china on entering the country. i think of many other governments you do the same also, there should be thank more sense again, is the trend is companies who are in a complicity, human rights violations. yes. that's the 1st step. one needs to be done. thank you so much for joining us. that's very clear. yeah. show one from a human rights watch. thank you. thank you for having ah, europe is battling a certain infections from the only chronic variance of corona virus in many countries. timing trouble restrictions in response. the netherlands is imposed to strict lockdown closing non essential shops, restaurants,
9:49 pm
and other public places until at least mid january. it's a big blow for businesses hoping for a christmas boost. as the w correspondent, christine manuel reports from amsterdam christmas is already over at this local markets in amsterdam. so this was supposed to be a christmas market. people spending the day buying also. christmas passivity treats like lou, 5 cetera, but as you can see within hours, if we've taken down one gentleman, i spoke to the fact he's right behind me. he wouldn't come on camera, but he's fuming, he's raging. he's spent the last 2 weeks preparing for this. and basically the st abrasions are over before they've even begun after the holidays were canceled. last year this christmas was supposed to be different. but the new restrictions which mean no shopping or restaurant training or the surprise gift nobody wanted
9:50 pm
and even the outdoor national favorite past time has been put on ice. yeah, the restrictions makes it again impossible to, to operate the the ring for this year last year we close. so for this year we finally had an opportunity to open up again and to, to make the losses of last year to, to make it a little bit more profitable. hopefully, we don't have much to look forward to the next couple of weeks because we can't really go i it's not just the locals. the cities, visitors are also losing out on amsterdam, must see and do favorites or whatever. we are here from florida. and we were going to go to the van, go museum, are going to go the in frank house. unfortunately, it's all closed. so he's set to improvise and walk around and look at everything. so the dutch government said the measures were unavoidable. as cove at 19 infections saw among the population. the new variant oma crime,
9:51 pm
which was 1st reported here 3 weeks ago, is expected to be the dominant variant before the end of this year. oh, oblique outlook. that's i'm still trying to keep the festive chair. it's dark times at the moment here. hold on. and what i'm trying to do is to tear people a little bit up. wish them a merry christmas and make the make some loss on the faces. ah, well, the pan damage is also casting a shadow over football with numeracy. despite this english premier league clubs have agreed to continue to play the games that have been scheduled for over the coming holiday period. the cove at 19 pandemic is taking its toll on premier league football on the 4 matches out of 10 were played over the weekend because teams didn't have enough healthy players and other clubs like chelsea wanted to postpone
9:52 pm
their games. but we're not allowed to buy the league. you are just worried about the safety of players. the players are concerned about their health because we have several causative corbitt tests in several 4 consecutive days. and that was it. but at a meeting with league officials on monday club executives rejected the idea of postponing the round of fixtures scheduled for over the coming festive season. coaches who want to break now have no choice. we have no idea what will happen. we will, we will do tests, we will continue to test on a daily basis and we will go to training like we did for now the games must go on. but that could change if the british government imposed further pandemic restrictions. or tom joy from dw sport can tell us more. he joins us from campbell
9:53 pm
in the u. k. welcome tom. initially there had been talk of a fire breaker pausing games from the 28th of december to try and ease the pressure on premise ship squads. so what happened at today's meeting? well, today's meeting saw the 20 premier league clubs come together to try and work our way through the current chaos. and one of the options on the table, as you mentioned, was the circuit breaker to pause a couple of the upcoming games. there are very many now comes to i according to the current schedule, to play 3 times between the 26th and the 26th of december, so boxing their course. and the 3rd of january, one of the suggestions was to give each club just one of those match days off. another suggestion was of course to postpone totally, but that is the nuclear option that really nobody wants to go near. and of course, the, all the clubs have elected for is to carry on, but it,
9:54 pm
carrying on where possible in an ad hoc way. because of course, further coded interruptions can't be ruled out. and given how many games had to be postponed on the most recent weekend, it seems very likely that that might continue to occur over the christmas period. right. so how contentious is this decision? some managers and coaches wanted to pause, but they've been overruled. yeah, absolutely. now one of the managers who wanted to pause as we heard the in the report was thomas took who the chelsea coach. he was fuming that chelsea were required to play after a number of cobra cases in their squad on the weekend. you saw has also been vocally critical of the english premier league christmas scheduling anyway for a very long time. he's often been of the opinion and very publicly de too much. of course at the moment is also very concerned about coded. but the decision has been taken to press on where possible, like i said, and of course, one of the major factors in making that decision is that the schedule is tight
9:55 pm
wherever the clubs look. so of course christmas is about every busy, busy period. but many clubs are playing in international competitions. there are 2 other domestic competitions happening, of course, parallel to the premier league in the u. k. for a lot of these teams. so, you know, even if the clubs give themselves a little bit free room now postpone one game for a bit of a while, it's going to have to be played at some point. and i think that's part of the reason why they've just chosen to try and get through this as soon as possible across get it to very briefly give us an idea of how badly english a football is been hit by the pandemic tone yet. well, i mean if it's of course causing chaos, the fact that we're talking about this means that the issue is very serious. i was on my way in towards aston villa against burnley on saturday just recently in that game was cooled off with just 2 hours to go until kick off. so you can imagine how sort of erratic the situation is at the moment. the real difficulty for clubs, for clay is for fans,
9:56 pm
particularly who are often traveling very long distances to attend games, is that there's no predictability. but this isn't the 1st time that cobra has caused chaos, even in football, and it's unlikely to be the last. so this could be a conversation that because at some point in the near future, ok, thank you for that. tom, tom, joy, dw sport and that, that's it for another the week the conversation continues on line. of course, you'll find this on twitter. i'm at the w news where you can follow me with, with

10:01 pm
great forces announced they will withdraw from cities have captured ethiopia, but as the fighters retreat, the people are still suffering. the w visits a village of course in the country. ah, i'm sure gail, welcome to the program. the european union's drugs regulator has approved a new corona virus vaccine, manufactured by a u. s. biotech company, nova facts. it's the 5th shot to be cleared for use in the you by people age 18 and over the european med, since agency said trial data showed the number of act shot had no serious side effects. the drug use is a more traditional protein based technology. it requires 2 doses. it's been shown to be highly effective against older corona virus variants,
10:02 pm
but it's not knowing how to perform against the latest and fast spreading over from various deliveries if novak's at to europe could stop within weeks. let's see if we can learn more from william shatner. he's a professor. preventative medicine at vanderbilt university in the u. s. the city of nashville. welcome to the w professor. so novak has not been cleared for used by the world health organization and the e. m. a, what does it bring to the table? well, fill it brings simply another manufacturer, and that's excellent. the law actually, we have available, the more we can use around the world to stand this pandemic. and as your lead, it said it's made in a more conventional traditional technology. and there may indeed be many people out there who will more readily accept a conventional vaccine. then this modern and already, and then one last thing, it's refrigerators table, which will mean it can be widely distributed to doctors,
10:03 pm
offices, clinics, and even can go to rather remote locations. that's a very nice advantage, right? i mean, we have seen a number of a small number of a, this is terrible for the, for those people involved of a people dying from side effects. what, what is being said about side effects of this technology and this novak's. well, this is a technology that's well known and it is thought to be actually a very, very safe, serious adverse reactions are very uncommon. and we'll see as the rollout continues and surveillance for side effect goes on, just as we're having in the united states and throughout the european union with the other vaccines. but we anticipate there should be a widely accepted action, right? so we have the world health organization and the m as a say and giving that their approval
10:04 pm
a to this. do we expect to see any roadblocks around the world to this, or is this? is this just a matter of different jurisdictions just getting on board with it? i think is more of a letter to different jurisdictions. will each have to make their own relationship with the company establish their own contract. but i sure think it's wonderful that we have yet another major manufacturer with a solid vaccine available for us to use. and so only cronies on everyone's minds, people are going to wonder, well, is this new thing? is it too new to know how it's going to fare against only from yes piece of information that we're all looking to find out both data from the laboratory. obviously, we don't have any in the field yet, because this vaccine has not been widely used in populations, but we're looking for better laboratory information about how well this new vaccine this novak's vaccine might well work against oma crime. an important point
