a rapid spread of the army kron karone virus variance with therein 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 schultz and the state premiers said private gatherings would be limited to just 10 people if they're vaccinated or of 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 get a fished in denise, 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 our eyes to this next way. that's beginning to loom over us corona's 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 menus closed the sisters. so this is not the time for parties and social evenings in large groups, goes under. the government is putting hopes on continuing the high rate of vaccination through the christmas period. they hoped to deliver millions more japs by the end of the year and $30000000.00 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 very best. they ran as a tin lighter aunt. we're 10 people and of course we would like to celebrate christmas together. yeah, adults are all boosted that and i get

a p c r test every other day i go to so we feel we are on the safe side who in the unsolved as this happens, i to deter finances. 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 messina. the chancellor says though infections are currently falling, it's only a matter of time before armor crohn 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. when i've talked mounted tina rudolf, her doctor and member of the governing social democratic chisels on the cross party parliamentary health committee method of welcome to day w, germany appears to be slightly ahead of army kron for now bought the rabbit cock in city. germany's center for disease control just yesterday recommended stricter and

immediate measures. why is the government waiting another week? well, the recommendation and the appeal clearly is chevy, us to act most carefully from the on. so it's a lot to meet people over christmas. we want people to have a merry christmas with their families, but we highly recommend appeal that the people almost carefully getting tested when they meet in a group of people. and that they restrict context as far as it's possible. and at all people who are not already recommended to get that explanation and get there was an explanation. it's a risk though, isn't it? i'm a week ago the r k. i said they were around a 112 confirmed cases of omicron here in germany. now those cases double in 2 days as is thought that would made around a 1000000 cases by january 10th, i mean is appealing to people really enough. that is true. this is what

we face and what we fear for january. that the numbers will double between every 2 or 3 days. that's what we can see in other countries. and this is what we have to prevent. so yeah, the strong appeal is that people are acting most carefully. but on the other hand, it's the 2nd christmas which required to be careful, they're required to choose context. and we think that it's best that people have the chance to read each other, that it's possible for families, parents to see their children that they, i was cathy and i think the people understood people are understanding that we are in a crucial situation and create yes, we have that all people are most carefully. all right, let's talk about the critical infrastructure. we're looking at a breakdown of that critical infrastructure and not just hospitals. we're talking.

police firefighters teaches garbage collectors that does the government have a plan? yeah, so we have an emergency plans are actually and actually right and we will do the best we can to prevent that. so right now we are taking action right now. we think about the situation we are going to face in january and what we can do to act as best as we can. so for now, germany is buying time by reducing contacts, but does germany to make vaccinations mandatory? do think not just the k workers, but everyone in the population. so yeah, as you mentioned, we already make the next nation mandatory for care workers. so for pick up work and health situations which was necessary. re saw the vaccination rate differ widely in this area. and so, yeah, as you know already know,

there are some of the outbreaks, for example from nursing homes, rhetoric and issue rage, rus was just approximately 50 percent. and this is not enough and we have to make sure that the people are protected. and so this is what we already did and in january and also february, we will have the debate and we will discuss the general mandatory vaccination for people on it. if we have to leave it there, dana, rid of a doctor, a member of the governing social democrat, thanks very much for your time. is a round up now of some of the other developments in the pandemic 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 full dose of vaccine to medical personnel and people over the age of 60 u. s. president joe biden introduced new measures to battle

a surgeon corona virus cases, including providing 500000000 free rapid tests on the con is driving infections. they're causing 73 percent of all new cases, bought and also called on the on vaccinated to get their shots. on south korea has introduced some of its strictest covert measures so far to cope with the army, kron waive. and while the public has largely co operated with restrictions so far more voices calling for the freedom to go about life as normal and say no to vaccines including teenagers. frank smith has this report from sol. the south korean high school student yang de rim, and his friends don't want to get vaccinated. neither do many of the 23000 and followers of his youtube channel. his live streams emphasize risks associated with vaccination, while downplaying, the benefits and argue the government's vaccine path violates their human rights

could go to no one knows what the future side effects will be. questions about whether it is effective or growing, because there are many cases of infection with delta variance and alma kron variance even after being vaccinated. so individuals should decide whether or not to get the vaccine, which i don't think it's right to be disadvantage or not being vaccinated. when you take that we picked from february, 1st, teenagers will have to prove vaccination or a recent negative cove in 1900 test to inter libraries, private academies, cafes, and other facilities. yang argues that the government should be focusing its efforts on the elderly and not the high mortality rate of the elderly can explain the justification for the vaccination of the elderly. but the fatality rate for young people is low. who don't go and yet the side effects vaccines are many. so i don't know why young people are vaccinated picking up an appeal, some are some so green parents have also

mobilized together with support from some doctors to protest against the vaccine pass. a mother of 5 children came to jane is even taking the case to the countries court. well, i don't, i think the vaccine past policy is against constitutional law. it's a serious violation of children's right to learn and violates their right to education because they can't go to the library or private academies because of the vaccine. paul, we think that as so, korea scrambles to provide care for the record number of serious cases. each plus young g hospitals. 34, coven, i see you beds are full. infectious disease department head e g young says that, well, vaccines may cause some side effects. he supports the vaccine pass and stresses that the risks of infection for the in vaccinated are far greater.

the picture about the system it's acts a nation prevents 60 to 90 percent of infection. and when a breakthrough infection occurs, that person is 90 percent less likely to die or require severe treatment. the media should not spread fake news or insignificant news. but the liver, the voice of medical professionals with the public lawn could on starting to get on this and get demand for most cell greens. the medical communities message on vaccines. and the vaccine pass seems to be thinking in i think that it's fair because individual freedoms are guaranteed only so long as they are non infringing upon social safety. so i believe that people should get vaccinated as soon as possible to use public places back pain pass. the vaccine path was introduced for adults, december 6th. so 3 is now dealing with its high surge of the cobra. 1900 pandemic, with more than $5000.00 new cases per day for weeks. as the debate over vaccines

and the vaccine pass for the nation's youth continues the omicron variant may cause those numbers to rise. jerome came joins me now from solely as the director general of the international vaccine institute, an independent non profit international organization based in sol, founded by the un day pay. mr. kim, thanks very much for joining us. clearly vac same hesitancy is a problem in south korea, but it isn't only there what more can be done to convince fact same skeptics. so as a, as a medical professional, we always believe. and i think you heard one of the physicians earlier say we need to have the right information. we actually need to do more than that. we present been presenting the correct information about the ability of vaccines to reduce infection. 5 time, reduce hospitalization, and i, 10,

we can talk about the risk of severe complications of koby, an infection in the and vaccinated versus the vaccinated. and we've talked about it, and we need to be forceful about that message because oma kind is adding a new level of danger because it's coming on top of a delta outbreak that is already filled the hospitals in korea. so we need to be more forceful in the messaging. we need to change the messaging. now you heard about the newspapers and the television, but are those reaching the people we need to target? now, the high school children, like kids in high school, the young youtube with 26000 followers, are we putting the messages out there, the correct messages, the ones that emphasize not only right, but responsibilities. not only to protect yourself, but to protect others. these children will be going out and having and meeting their family over the holidays. are they going to make sure that the people they meet aren't going to be there a victim of,

of lack of vaccination and lack of protection? that's true. i mean, obviously the messaging is important, combating fake news, for example. it's really important, but there are studies to show that it doesn't in fact, work to convince people by, by telling them all the statistics and showing them that the getting vaccinated is a good thing. and especially if the root of vaccine skepticism a more of moral intuitions got feelings, et cetera. what else can be done apart from the messaging? so i think that this is where governments have a number of tools available to them. and government have to be very careful about the way that they deploy these tools. but you know, to, to some extent, what is the alternative? we have several alternatives. we can continuing masks in distancing. we can encourage or require vaccinations or we can require vaccinations only if you want to do particular things. if you want to go to these after school academies, if you want to go to a, an hour nor a bang, which is a korean version of the car,

ok. venue, then you need, you need to be vaccinated. but in addition to that, you know, so, so having these requirements puts a restriction, not on your ability to do things, but only on your ability to do things that put your, you put you and other people at higher risk putting the symbol wouldn't. exactly. i mean, and we really, you know, we talk about vaccines is the solution that seems, are a part of a very important part of a layered defense. the 1st line of defense is, of course, the things that people need to do, right? the mask the distancing. avoiding crowds, that seems may be the 2nd line of defense. after that, we have medical care with a medical care system is full now. so what other options does a country have? they can do as countries in europe if they can knock down again. chris never locked up. people have always had to get my, sorry, sorry to interrupt you about. we're running out of time and i did want to ask about whether or not this is largely

a 1st world problem in many people from rich nations where vaccines has been readily available. don't seem to want to take them. do you say less hesitancy in developing nations where they often or perhaps frequently don't have access to vaccines? so i think it's important to remember though, that the korea is being a high income country does not have a big problem with that factors. so it, it also depends in the country, but yes it's, it tends to be less of an issue. but increasingly, as the supply of vaccines through kovak and other mechanisms is becoming greater. we're seeing the emergence of some resistance to vaccination in lower and middle income countries. as well, and this is particularly problematic because some of the other things that would support patient care if a person became infected or not present in low resource health care settings. so it vaccination is even more important. and we need to work again on messaging and getting governments behind the idea that this is a very important thing for everybody in society or to run can,

we'll have to leave it there. thank you very much, director general of the international vaccine institute. all right, let's send some other stories making headlines around the world. maybe as long awaited presidential election has been called off. a parliamentary committee said, holding the vote schedule for this friday would be impossible. election was part of a u. n. lead teeth process to bring the rival sanctions controlling different parts of the country together. libya has been racked by a decade long civil war until the state in 2020 the well food program has warned that millions of people in yemen will fight hunger for it was full to come aid to the water and country un agency has received only half of the funding it requested in march to keep up the food supplies to united nations has again called on both belarus and poland to address what it calls the appalling situation

of migrants on their joint board at hundreds of people. my name from iraq and syria remained stranded there. poland and the a you accused barissi and later, alexander lucas shanker, of encouraging them to travel to bowers, to try and gain entry into the european union that are, as denies this and says the a you is to blame for the humanitarian crisis. bella was seeing authority say almost 600 people remain at this warehouse on the billers side of the border despite the cold weather and the terrible conditions. they swear they can't go home and they have to move forward to have a future work with her for her. yeah, we came here to tour europe. we want to go to german, does what need to go?

but that path is blocked, and many migrant say, so to is the way back to minsk, the united nations human rights office accuses both poland and fellers of pushing migrants back and forth across the border. it refers to statements made by migrants interviewed by a u. n. team in early december describing human rights abuses on both sides of the frontier. the majority said that while in bowers they had been beaten or threatened by security forces, and also alleged the bell. russian security forces forced them to cross the border on team also had numerous reports of people being immediately and automatically returned to paris from poa, the human rights office who's calling on both to address the crisis in line with their obligations to international human rights and refugee law now what will it be the red pill or the blue pill that was the choice?

i think he, on a rape more than 20 years ago in the groundbreaking science fiction epic, the matrix the film. and it's to say cool, depicted dystopian future and which humans attract by machines inside a simulated reality. now matrix for has hit cinema's, grains in a premier, delayed several times by the pandemic, but doesn't measure up to the original his, our view. i thomas boss would 2 decades in the matrix revolutions. tell me what happened, thomas anderson, a neo is living an ordinary life in san francisco when event take your turn for the weird am i crazy. we don't use our dinner and he finds himself mixed up again in a war between humanity and robots. the matrix resurrection sees keanu reeves and carrie, anne moss, reprise their roles assumed rebel lovers,

neo and trinity. have we met? i think it's everything that you can hope for in a matrix film and, and then some are, i think hopefully you can be inspiring, you know, help us always sort of a matrix films as a tool your income and that help us see the world direct to learn we chowsky is back at the helm for the 4th outing of the science fiction action thriller filming began in february 2020. but it was interrupted by the pandemic that set the release date back 7 months. but the wait was worth it. anticipation has reached fever pitch and the matrix resurrection is expected to be one of the most successful cinema leases of the year. after all these years, to be going back to where it all started. back to the matrix,

ah, back to the matrix, let's go back to our master of movies at scott roxborough, who joins us from cologne. scott, you've seen the movie? i have a bit of a confession. i haven't seen 12 or 3, but you've seen all for now. how does the 4th one shape up of the addresses to your use thick of the film because i think how you respond to this movie. a depends a lot on whether you, how you felt about the 1st movies of because this film is a real nostalgic call back to the earlier films, particularly the 1st movie. i mean, in some ways, it's almost a rewrite of that 1st movie. it's almost the same plot. again, we have this character neo, um, who's a programmer and he's uncertain if the world around him is real or actually just a computer simulation on this new film as another met a level to that in

a way that allows the director in which ascii to comment on the original 3 matrix films and the fans response to them, which is kind of interesting. i'm and this film like it's predecessors, is a big action of blockbuster. and there's where i have a few problems with this new movie because the 1st matrix film is really groundbreaking in its action. i mean, a bullet time sequences. sort of made film history of this time around. i found the action a bit more of a retread. it's almost as atlanta which housekeepers are own cover band here, and she just sort of playing the hits for the fans. and it is great to see canneries and carrie anne moss return playing a neo and trinity in this new movie. but for me, this resurrections was less of a 2nd coming and more of a reanimation of a film franchise that maybe should have been allowed to die with dignity will a 4th one. then why do you think direct a line of chowsky felt the need to return to the matrix? yet that actually is a quite interesting and quite touching story. she says it was because of it was in

response to the death of her parents a few years ago where she felt that if she couldn't bring them back, that maybe she could resurrect her 2 most famous, fictional characters, neo and trinity. and the production of the film itself was, was, was played with problems and had to shut down a drink cove it and through a lot of changes made, and hugo weaving, who played the original villain agent smith. in the 1st films he was supposed to reprise his role with this movie. i'm, but he had a scheduling conflict us, the role was rewritten and as here played by dropping broth. and there's another switch where, um, yeah, he or a girl might, martine, the 2nd? ah plays aversion of morphia the character may fear famous vide laurence fishburne . in the original films, i think you can see a matrix resurrections as an attempt by which hosty to sort of rewrite her own fictional path, which is kind of interesting. but if for me, it has a slight problem because the matrix was so influential culturally, i mean a term like read telling that comes from the films, went directly into the pop culture vernacular. it makes it very, very difficult for this movie to really feel original. we,

you said that there were problems where the production, because of the pandemic, the pandemic also delayed the release. now it finally ease being released just at a time when we're saying current of ice case, a surge at kiana rapes might have been able to fight off an army of killer robots. but can the matrix survive the pandemic? and the box office i will see a spider man, the recent fireman founded very well at the box office or recently. um and so people will obviously come out to see a movie. they really want to see, but you're right on the chrome, it's starting to close. theaters were seen close theaters close and a lot of areas in europe already that might follow in the united states. it could be that this matrix summarize, just as a theaters are shutting down again and, but there is hope for true matrix fans because warner brothers is releasing this film simultaneously on its string platform each b o max. look, you have access to that and then you will be able to drop that red bill from the safety and comfort of your own couch at home. all right, got runs for thanks very much for that. and i says

a couple of days before christmas and guess who's coming to town, you'll probably recognize him straight away with his bright red outfit and fluffy white beard. and of course the sack full of presents. he's joined by his fastest reindeer and has another one in reserve, in case rudolf gets tired. he's feeding across the snow. he wilds of lapland, on his way to bring presents and joy to children around the world. so you better watch out for this guy over the next few days. and that's all we have time for business use is up next day we'll see with more headlines at the top of the hour. ah ah ah ah

ah ah ah ah ah ah 2 o 3 or not to own what about a sharing economy? it's a change in thinking is changing the
