we shed light on the opaque worlds who's behind benefits. and why are they a threat to us all opaque worlds starts january 5th on d, w. ah, ah ah, this is d, w is coming to live from berlin. germany becomes the latest european country to tighten. corona virus restrictions transport off sholtes analysis, new measures that will come into effect after christmas. they include a limit on social gatherings. there are to be no large scale new years eve celebration. also coming up, united nation and united nations human rights,

all calls for poland and better roost to address what it says is an appalling situation of migrant stuck on their joy border plus a long awaited movie. sequel that was delayed even further by the pandemic. with carrie anne moss reeves, resurrect the matrix 22 years after neo 1st followed. the red pill isn't any good ah hello m terry martin. good to have you with us. germany is bracing for a rapid spread of the army. kron corona virus. buried with the bearer with variant already in the country. the government is responding by stepping up its vaccination

program and introducing new restrictions. tight limits on social contacts will come into effect after christmas. army crown is on the advance in germany, and the politicians say it's time to react. after their meeting, chancellor sholtes and the state premiers said private gatherings would be limited to just 10 people if they're vaccinated or have recovered from cove. it for the unvaccinated socializing will be even harder, they will only be able to meet to other people. the moves are prompted by fears. the virus could spread over the holidays. can even good fish to indian if i can understand every one. and each of you who doesn't want to hear any more about corona, about mutations and the virus variance that we cannot and must not close her eyes to this next wave that's beginning to loom over us. corona is not taking a christmas break. despite that,

most of those buying last minute gifts will be able to hand them over in person on christmas day. the new restrictions will only be compulsory from the 28th of december. new year is said to be unusually quiet with sports events played in empty stadiums and dance menu is closed. this is teresa. this is not the time for parties and social evenings in large groups of goals of under. the government is putting hopes on continuing the high rate of vaccination through the christmas period. they hope to deliver millions more japs by the end of the year and 30000000 in january. in berlin, many people seem unfazed by the prospect of tougher measures. shut it in, i hadn't planned anything big anyway, just a small family gathering that is best they ran as a thin, lighter aunt. we're 10 people and of course we would like to celebrate christmas together. the adults are all boosted that and i get a p, c, r test every other day. so we feel we are on the safe side who in the unsolved

as this happens i to the terminal 6 of us will get together with friends. unfortunately, without family there in stuttgart munich, we don't want to get on the train of driving to stressful, so we'll visit them next year stresses. as mahogany senior, the chancellor says though infections are currently falling, it's only a matter of time before armor crone is the dominant cove it very into germany. corona has not stolen christmas, but the strain it is putting on the public and the politicians is not over yet. of moral has talked to our chief political correspondent, linda crane. belinda, the new measures don't take effect until after christmas. wouldn't they do more good of introduce right away? in fact, not compulsory until after christmas, but some federal states will be instituting them sooner. for example, mecklenburg for carmen in the northeast of the country has decided that as of

christmas eve, they will be putting measures into effect because intensive care bed capacity. there is severely strain. so there is some leeway nonetheless, no question. the authorities could have gone further, but the government faces something of a dilemma, terry, because the fact is that infection rates have been falling recently. and until these latest warnings, many people here in germany felt that things were looking up especially compared to late november when cases were much, much higher. but the fact is that at the moment we are in a low between 2 waves, the 4th wave that was caused by the delta variant is receiving. and that 5th wave hasn't hit yet. and that makes it very difficult for the government to essentially get way out in front with the measures that it imposes. and in fact, that was recognized by the chancellor. he said yesterday, he's aware that people are tired, people feel brittle,

and therefore i think there's a sense on the part of the government, particularly since the health minister had said there will be no hard locked down before christmas. that they need to take this step by step, but they did face some pushback from the federal states. well, state and federal leaders in germany have disagreed all the best way to fight the pandemic in the past. is there more consensus this time, melinda? outwardly, there was consensus, but as i said, a couple of federal states did feel that measures don't go far enough and they made that clear in a press conference following the need. and so so the blanket of consensus was a bit thin. perhaps these particular states, they include a bag in the southwest saxony in the east. they're concerned that the new government hasn't established the necessary legal framework for ensuring that in an

emergency uniform measures can be adopted quickly across all of germany. as you know, such a law was in place under the last government. this government decided to repeal it in hopes that they're going to stop. the legislature would then have more of a say in the measures that are established. but as i say, several states feel that we don't at the moment have the necessary legal basis. and there was also quite a heated discussion about a last minute warning yesterday from the countries center of disease control, which did in fact advocate a harder lockdown. and as i mentioned earlier, melinda parts of germany, the intensive care units, are already full. how concerned or authorities about the capacity of the country's health care system to deal with what's coming? they are very, very concerned. some experts have said that con could be the dominant variance here in germany as early as the end of january. and that we could then see new cases up to a 100000

a day that will put an absolute strain on intensive care capacity across this country. as you know, in the late november, early december, some hospitals were already having to do triology and patients elsewhere for intensive care treatment. that's one concern. the other concern that essential services, like electricity, water, garbage disposal and so on. because we may see many, many essential workers falling in. melinda, thank you so much. are put, she political correspondent, will into crane his round up of some of the other developments in the pandemic worldwide in portugal bars and restaurants will now close from the 26th of december 5 days earlier than scheduled infections in portugal have risen sharply. despite the vaccination rate of around 90 percent, israel has announced it will begin offering a 4th dose of covered 19 vaccine to medical personnel of people over the age of 60 . this comes bit concerns over the on the kron variant and us present. joe biden
