experience outstanding shopping and dining offers. enjoy our services. be our guest at frankfurt airport city managed by from bought. ah. ah, ah ah, this is dean ebony, news live from berlin. the number of cove at 910 cases in the u. k. reaches a record high passing 100000 in a single day for the 1st time. but new studies suggest all me crohn is less severe than built up. also coming up,

russian president vladimir putin is hosting his annual news conference. we hear from some ordinary russians about what they think of their long term laid up at a university in hong kong, removes a statue honoring protesters, killed by chinese troops on tandem and square. the artist who made the statue tells us how he plans to respond. ah, i'm rebecca writ as welcome to the program. he studies from the united kingdom suggest the army crown corona virus variant, maybe milder than the previous versions like delta. but scientists say their findings must be treated with caution, as hospitals could still be overwhelmed by the sheer number of cases. the news comes as the u. k. records more than 100000 new davy cases. for the 1st time. there's no christmas rush in london. this year,

the number of shoppers and taurus down dramatically on even a few weeks ago. on microns rapids spread an a record number of infections, keeping many people at home. britons newspapers summing up the mood but the u. case. health minister gave weary britons a glimmer of hope by announcing the purchase of millions more antiviral pills to combat amok wrong. alongside the booster program, these sup, pharmaceutical defenses you taken together are a huge new way to defend ourselves against cove it. there's no need for any further restrictions or before christmas. we will certainly keep the situation under review . but across the u. k. conditions very while england has reduced the number of days, people with coven have to isolate from 10 down to 7 wales scotland. a northern ireland are introducing restrictions after christmas. what they do agree on is that vaccine boosters and reducing contacts are the best ways to reduce pressure on

a health care system. stretch to the brink. so we know there's lots of cases in the community that actually people are not getting say fake, but there are still people being admitted to hospital and they are still getting very on well they haven't pneumonia and and that's quite stressful for us to be looking after all that i think the much better now that we have more keep meant most alpha, another holiday season overshadowed by the cobra. 19 pandemic. another new year on the horizon filled with uncertainty and has gone out here. dr. mohammed many as a virology at lancaster university in northern england document, and i still have you on the program. again, new data from the u. k. suggest the army con, very, is highly transmissible, as was initially thought, but that it may not cause as serious illness. what does that mean for the past the pandemic is taking all that's true because i think the,

the studies from england and scotland are clearly a good news, particularly for vaccinated and younger people that are on to, on a vaccinated one rebel groups or children is still lacking, but in all mean is certainly positive. and if that holds true, then i would have positive knock on effect onto new year and moving forward with this on the kron how. but in countries where the only khan is really high in number, particularly in the u. k, it certainly could have impact onto health care act, for instance in, in london, across the chest, within one week a 50 percent of the healthcare stuff has got say, can be out to isolate because of the rules. so that good strain, the health care sectors will still need to be proceed a bit very much of caution. i worry then that this news has potential good news might send the wrong signal that people might take it less seriously. now, box a very important question because because of the comparison of

a milder micron infections is in comparison to delta, which has been the most problematic among all the variance that we have at. so our comparison really will be the delta about again. but if you compare the on the call with the original version or our b to it is actually at the same level as we have had a previous balance. which means that the implication of this call could equally be applicable for moving forward. so it's all what we need to do is that in this festive season, we have to be really careful not to let this one. we call and rip into the site to now wanted to talk to you about booster shots. the world health organization has taken a firm stance against rich countries, offering 3rd, or even 4th shots, while much of the world's population has yet to get even their 1st one. i'll come back here in just a 2nd, but let's listen to what the w h. i, director general, had to say blanket wooster programs are likely to prolong the pandemic rather than ending it by diverting supply to countries that already have high levels of

fascination coverage. giving the virus more opportunity to spread and mitigate. it's important to remember that the vast majority of hospitalizations and does are in and vaccinated people not and boosted people on the world health organization. director general there, he's again raising the issue of vaccine iniquity. do you agree with that statement on boosters? oh absolutely. i agree, and i think the booster requirement in the destination is going to going to certainly increase the vaccine and equity in the world. and just putting in the perspective in last 6 week, last 6 weeks, more booster, those have been given in you can usa than the, the number of those has been given in the whole africa for the last whole 2021 year

. so this really indicates that the gap we are having and this booster, we certainly will increase this gap off vaccine, inaccurate distribution across the world. definitely still a worry now many of us here in europe and around the world, or of course, heading into the holiday season. what's your advice as of her ologist on how best to spend them and how to stay healthy? on the face of highly contiguous central smith below me cron searcy, we have to follow all those practices that we've been doing before. all those all true for the mac, right. we have to make sure that we have negative do perform the false tests. i left t's before you meet your family if you're negative, than you are. good to go, keep ventilating, keep your nutrition double hybrid, think vitamin d and making sure that you are wide on the set together. and we have to make sure that we can reduce the chances of this on chrome to transmit within the community. or, i don't know how many of her ologist in the u. k. thanks very much for your time.

thanks robbing me. russian president vladimir putin has been holding his annual press conference. they see his event marks the 17th time potent has rounded off the by speaking to the media, covering a broad range of issues from the corona virus to rising tensions with the west. it comes against the backdrop of weeks of international concern over russia's trip build up on its border with ukraine. the news conference also marks near record low in domestic approval for the long serving president. nobody's emily show and reports from moscow. listen to the flooding. mir putin has been thinking about his future. last year he oversaw a vote on constitutional changes that allow him to run for another to charms as president of russia. he could stay in power until 2036. recently he addressed the issue again. asperger said to make one of those days when it comes to my plans,

according to the constitution, i have the right to running the immune. i haven't made the decision yet whether i will or not. but the very fact that i have this rising stabilizes his domestic political situation in russia. more than me, she had the appro. i'll notice to be the use of growth leakage group. but the kremlin may have a problem. putin's approval ratings have been falling for several years. now, a survey by the independent pollster le vada center shows. they're currently at just over 60 per cent, comparatively high for such a long serving president. but a near record low for putin. normal pressure, people are living in poverty. there's a political crackdown going on here. that's off the charts, neuropathy over here, not everyone is sick of prudent, although you have sam watching. it was not everyone needs stability. it was a lot of me putting has been with us for a long time, but i thought, well, so that's why people vote for him. we'll cut or she killer genes. a good guy. i'm grateful to him. had that m a r good. my mode up with him for a long time now,

but he's just made enemies of all countries are sharing in 2014 the annexation of crimea from ukraine sparked western sanctions. but it also gave vladimir putin image a reboot. he presented himself as a patriotic defender of russia's interests on the world stage. his approval ratings went up to a whopping 80 percent. now, tensions between russia and ukraine are on the rise again. these satellite images allegedly show russian troops stationed near the border to ukraine. u. s. officials put their number at around and the 1000 but expert, save this time around, an escalation won't help putin's popularity was modernised. no, it was who it's prudent, has exhausted the potential of using his image as a key geopolitical player in order to push up his popularity with in russia. a nice shirt, bama booster, talking about how we have returned to russia. his previous greatness is fine,

lawyer village, but people are more concerned about what's in their refrigerators. g o, g was wrong with many local support putin because they think it would be worse without him sport or it's not a question of hope for a better future. it's about preserving what they have, my years them a little shovel to share at those lines funny to still use with tension soaring over ukraine. the whole world is watching the kremlin next moves. but vladimir putin may have to change strategy if he wants to keep the attention of russians at home to and joining us now from moscow is our bureau chief uri rochette, her hearing. what has present important been saying at this length in his conference was always rebecca, has been a traditional mix of domestic and foreign policy issues here and put in spoke about the vaccination campaign against the grown of iris here in russia, at the presence of the army kron variant has been confirmed here, but vaccination rates are quite low,

even though russia was one of the 1st countries to make it vaccines available to the whole population. as for other domestic issues, putin mentioned to the opposition politician alex, in of only in a very briefly or brief answer, an of ali who was poisoned, he and russia is now in prison. and putin complained to the, to europe allegedly didn't to provide any evidence of his poisoning. our russian president has clearly shown that this issue is over for him. another important topic was energy security in europe. put in has been accused of gas prices in europe, being very, very high right now. and the president replied that among other reasons, ukraine could be to blame because there is a great need there, and ukraine would get gas gas from europe. while he mentioned it says, part domestic and part foreign policy. president putin also addressing the intentions between russia and ukraine. what did he have to say on that while putting her surprisingly sad to that? his impression is that, and you, military operation is

a logically being prepared in ukraine. ah, the russian president didn't specify which operation precisely, but he said he has got the impression that there are a russian speaking people war being pushed out of their historical territories. and moscow was being warned not to interfere. i cannot say whether this impression by the russian president is a hidden indication of russian plans to attack ukraine, but couldn't blame to the us for the escalation in a don boss. we know that russia once an ant to nato military activities, including in the ukraine and also demands that there will be no expansion of nato, especially into ukraine. every one of these annual news conference is really about and we were just saying, live pictures of that conference happening as we speak it. is the president really being subjected to public scrutiny here? or is it more about public relations? i think putin recently attracted very much media attention to when he sat in an interview that he doesn't exclude the possibility of running for president again.

so that means that putin could be in office for even longer. so when he needs popularity and here he's real target are, is that the domestic audience. so put it toward us here, putting shows himself as a kind of father of the nation who is informed about everything and has all problems under control. and by the way, these press conferences and you'll press conferences, always take a long time. they are broadcast on all national tv channels. so very important here for russia. all right, database here re russia to speak to us from laska. thanks very much. let's turn out some other stories making headlines around the world. united states health authorities have approved the use of an anti cove at 19 pill made by the pharmaceutical company. pfizer. the pax livid pill will be the 1st oral treatment for cove at 19 trials show. it reduces the risk of hospitalization and death by

grab in july, as a coo and called for protests. france has just had a open previously classified files linked to the algerian war of independence. the files could shed light on the alleged use of torture and extra judicial killings by french soldiers during the war which ran from 1954 to 1962. they w, spoke to one algerian who fought on the side of france as part of a group known as the on key. like many algerians like him, he feels betrayed algerian born sales. carol felt incredibly proud when he started to work as a translator and intelligence adviser for the french colonial army in virginia. in the 1950s. he'd never have thought that in 1962 france would leave our keys like him just behind your palm. you here is autism. here the

french took all weapons away and abandoned us af keith. it was a disgrace, how france behaved. suit your own good of horse power or too many of us were arrested by the nationalists. they wanted vengeance and tortured us. come back on with the suave, the volume sash narrowly escaped execution in algeria and fled to france. but there he was far from welcomed with open arms. the appeals hearing a sort of horses, an officer, told me that i had lost the french nationality. the army had given me. and i replied that. so when france needed as our keys, we were french. and now that we no longer needed, we are no longer french knocker of pupils were done during the 1st few months, i unloaded freight carriers at the train station. i could just about afford food. most of the time as left in the carriages. it was so disappointing that france

didn't help me after all that i had gone through them soon. gone. does have shot emmanuel, my client. the 1st president in french history recently apologized to sash and other archies and patio woocommerce. those are bondo, need to the combatants. we abandoned to their families who suffered the camps that a prison. the denial, dinny, i ask forgiveness of them. we shall not forget nobly on by. president le car also promised a new law to acknowledge frances historical guilt. but this is tory in doubts. this will be enough to make up for the archie's suffering is of the thought. if all says or suv orange, why additions have often said vague and superficial things about the axis. that part of our history still needs to be told in detail, your extra, if we all learned what happened that would provide some peace of mind to lead her to the archies themselves as their children and grandchildren, who are there all traumatized. either. basil sash often participates in common

orations and has received many national decorations. but he's now asking for concrete actions such as free elderly care. he says that the least france can do for, for good of us. it's all frances fought her answer. a bond on this is on for france, abandoned its children, and by abandoning them it sentenced them to death. or what is up on his own way around. well, since hopes that the new law will help him finally feel accepted by country that abandoned him. when he most needed, it support a monument to the victims of the 1989 tenement square massacre has been dismantled and removed from the university

of hong kong. the area around the 8 me to high pillar of shame was boarded up and workers will that away in sections. it was one of the few public memorials of the massacres. still standing in hong kong represented corpses of hundreds of pro democracy protest is killed in 1989. it's removal is part of china's crack down on descent. joining us now from a dense denmark is the sculptor of that monument dns gal. sure, mister. gotcha, thanks very much for being with us today. this mustn't be god. com as much of a surprise, you must have been expecting it in october, hong kong university officials announced it would be removed, but now that the sculpture is actually in pieces and being wheeled away, how do you feel? oh is rita said they oh this is, this is a christmas or gave you don't want to have oh, so this is where you said this is strange because we have really asked for 2 months . we have said letters to them, but i also have

a say we will go to put it up and we have no contact at all. i have a lawyer. so tried to get the contact, no contact with no contact back. so this is so with really don't know what happened and in the middle of the night, 2 days before christmas is thousands of dollars completely and not fair. it sounds as though he would have been willing to assist with the breakdown, unfortunate as at ease of the sculpture. why do you think authorities weren't returning your calls? i really don't know what happened. i think they are maybe afraid. maybe they will do this kind of thing them lou amaica statesman to say, we want to destroy this more when we want to show our power. and maybe this is a kind of showing the power to the rochester movement and say, don't say anything about china. don't do the same to memory about to, to make parked out, don't to put her can't alive. anyway, i don't have

a book about you to me, something like that this the read brutal. we do that. so is by shocking. how come is shipley chains of the moment? this is their story of a day, a hong kong used to be used to pride itself on promoting freedom of expression. that's clearly no longer the case. this is just another in a long line of things to counter that. what do you think that this particular event means? the kiddos shaven has a big focus on the whole democracy movement a everybody was agreed with this form and was quite important because this about the student. correct? and, and, and, and so it was kind of simple for the, this for the movement. and now all the people who are put it up or they are jail, all the people, all escaped from harker and even the monument they have smells. so some cross that mean a lot of thing for the democracy movement. but the strange thing is if you do something

with the axis work, then you make a stroke on your mall, your percent, your more story. you put it in an event, this interview, and this what happened in the night where the put it down in the darkness. all of this photo from the of this breaking the sculpture down. this is a part of the story now. so that even the, even what you're doing, you making strong from so in the moment this come to us must draw a lot of people or all over the world are talking about what our program doing to make did make a simple for the how bruton it's on his system is now, do you have any hives have recovering what remains of the out when i can? if so, do you have any plans for it? yes, we know we have a can see on all the photo i can see are not destroyed to hold one of those other pieces, big pieces off it and i saying we could bring it in my we could put it,

i could put it to killer. i'm used to this kind of thing, and out of my code is now to, to work for that and a, bring it out a form and put it stood mark in pieces and then we'll put it together and make it exhibition. and does something in hong kong that is the right, a bunch of private property. so this is a case about trade. you, they have destroy a private person, need a buy structure, and this is not money or was so maybe they have making their crime against their own law, those losses from to take the trait and the property. so we will to maybe we'll just to them to get it out a form or i and z cash. i will have to leave it there. but thank you very much for joining data money tonight. conservators in the u. s. state of virginia have opened a time capsule, which was found buried for more than 130 years under the statue of a famous civil war. general 3 water damage books. cough on val open a silver coin,

a surge of migrant coughing from france. britain, a confined anglo french relation to the decrees have both sides lost all sense of perspective. my guest this week from paris is bruno banal, and n p for the ruling are much party. is president michael, tough foreign policy enough to woo right wing voters before next year's presidential election? a welcome to come pick zone. let's not if we made with the fishing dispute between france and the u. k. let's step back a moment. we have only 2 nuclear power in europe. allies joined by countless numbers of project share in common values. and there is now a major diplomatic spots over fishing,

haven't you got better things to spend your time or? well, you could look at it as a minor issue, but in fact, it's a symbolic one. and that's why i'd say becomes a political one. when, when did in it, it kingdom decided to go for the bricks. it, or we respected this choice. we didn't like it, but we respected it and a contract, a deal was set, especially in this deal and some obscure corners were cleaned with a specific contract. and the one regarding the fisherman was very important because we know that there is dispute over the waters and is it is a long, long dispute that up and far before you, it was important to clean up, i understand. but why are we, what, why have we gone to the stage where the threats of a trade war threats to cut off or limits electricity supplies, gunboats facing each other? this is become a bit hysterical, hasn't it? i mean, listen to your junior,

he listen to your junior minister for european affairs klemmer bone. now we must speak the language of force because i fear that unfortunately, this british government understands only this a bit melodramatic, isn't it? you're not talking to moscow. it's only the london you must go, must be enjoying leonor mainly and we do talk to friends and allies. there is no issue. but the fact is that if you start breaking a piece of the contract between you and you k, then what is going to happen with the other parts of the contract? for instance, the water in the northern island are all this, all this issue. so the fact that after months and months, 10 months of negotiation, we couldn't find a deal where the french fishermen could ab those licenses through to fish in the u . k. waters. ah, if we had to come to a point where, where to put a stick in the ground now it reopened the negotiations. and as usual like brothers, you fight hard. busy then at the end of the day, you find a way to still love each other. yeah,

been according to the president of the ports of care, lay in boulogne. he called this a drop in the ocean, said the route was ridiculous, and it was all about some small sum. 40 small boats. he said, 40 small boats were licenses for them. you are going to look back in a few years time on back and think you've all taken leave of your senses to get to this stage over the fate of licenses for 40 small boat. it was 240 boats to start with, and i don't know what i'm talking about for the, i don't know. but what i can tell you is that those discussions where, where after this, this agreement, this non agreement on 240 boats. so anyway, it's not the question, the number of boats in a question of, as you said, after a couple of years, what are we going to look back? look back at rec, city is a big deal. is it going to be good for you? k, which is going to be good for you if you don't have this trade on the clean plate on

the clean agreement that might be really problematic for the future. and that's what our government is trying to preserve. ok, but all this seems to stem from your governments insistence on telling the rest of europe, but leaving the union, the european union must be a bad thing. what if brett's it is a success in britain prospers, or can you buy that by dia? well, we are, we are convince that all the big challenges of the future can only be analyzed through a continental lance. meaning that the u. s. or. ready the china, the odds is so strong, so powerful that if we remain single countries with the big challenges of the future space ocean, probably protection from the bi gression climate change, all this issues of to be to cost another level. so leaving the you is not just the perception of a country making its own decision. it's the,

the idea that this continent, this european continent will be a little weaker to really phase challenges of a future, which means growth, employment, economy ecology. so, so we believe that we are strongly european and yes, leaving the european country as a price to pay for. yeah, but you know, i come back to my question, what if it is a success? you look at the recent note from your prime minister john caustics to the commission president on the line. he said it's essential to make clear to european public opinion that leaving the union is more damaging than remaining in it. why is it so essential? i you so afraid that other countries are going to thought running for the exit as well as britain? well, looking at the position of certain government in european union, yet you may be concerned by the fact that people could be tempted by exceeding you . and again, we try to protect you as much as we can and talking about erection to success. i

just can't, can't wait for the next 10 years and see effectively if all those challenges i just mention can be just faced at a single country level. or if you need the power europe even look at the recent sanitary crisis that we faced, the agreement between older european countries, mickey possible, maybe possible to really quickly find solutions that single countries by themselves couldn't find and didn't have the means to really invest in to make this described as, as, as, as, as smoothly as possible, if i can say, so, you're talking about the pandemic. you're talking about code it the pandemic. yes, yes, depending me, well, you did. it was a very slow start in europe, wasn't it? and each country went for its own interests, and those who live on the line pointed out at the beginning, this wasn't a satisfactory state of affairs by any means for the european union. so i guess you

learned as you went along, but it was every country for itself. when the pandemic started wasn't, it wasn't much european unity on show that was that. yeah, but you look after 18 months of this dramatic pandemic, it read those strengths and coordination of europe that really makes possible now to, for instance, protect most of the countries from the 5th wave if any. and again, so going solo in this situation was probably not the right way to go. if you look at the numbers at the end of the day, after 18 month, to going back to the fishing dispute, plenty of people in your country don't think much of the war. or the threats that you made about banning u. k. cholos from unloading in french. both john mark please. so the president of the ports of gala and move line, who i mentioned earlier, he will and the french government against imposing sanctions on the u. k. and he told the b, b, c. it would be terrible for both sides of the channel for you,

for us, for the ports, for the fisherman and your country, and not country and all that. just for a few little boats that aren't allowed to fish in your country. did you really think that threatening britain impressed your voters ahead of next year's elections was that you're a, you know, frankly speaking, it has nothing to do with next year's election. is re asked to do is the principal of a deal that was sign of commitment taken by the u. k. that he's not respected. and not talking about this man that you mention from the port of kelly, i understand is locally shoes for the local trade and, and the difficulty that the board may face. but when you talk about predicting you, you have to swallow some pain, some time to really show that they are some much more important subject than just your local issues. and i do, i do call them local issues, but the jobs that you're talking about jobs, jobs in the in addition, i see food sector jobs in blue line and cali, which you've been warned,

are at risk or were at risk. if you went ahead with your threats, you have said you're right, they talk about jobs, they talk about the jobs of the fishermen, while losing today between 25 and 30 percent of the business because of this non agreement being signed. so, so jobs against jobs at the end of the day, again, a contract has to be respected, and that's really the core of the discussion. you didn't get as much support from the rest of the european union as you'd hoped for didn't do any 10 other states supported your so called joint statement, criticizing britain, and they even watered down your text and the final version, didn't they removing references to an unsatisfactory and contradictory response by the u. k. are you surprised that you only got such lukewarm support from the rest of the you? well, i'm not surprised because you know, building something as complex as you is a step by step process. and the fact that some countries are disagreeing on some

topics seems to be like, absolutely normal. you came out yes, a long time. you've been trying to build this unity for a very long time. yeah, but we are very stubborn. as all the french must be to really, if we believe in something we do believe in you, we have to convince you of on every single topic to be strong together. and the end to join forces to gather their forces. if they decide to, again, to play solo, like, like if you decided with the brakes it, yeah, it will be some consequences. and the relationship between this territory, u. k, u is now dramatically changed and it will have impact on the economy on social and social workers on immigration will see a list of impact by the very fact that you bricks it was decided and respected by. do you decided by the people of, of the united kingdom? you not on the, found your anger against the british over this phishing dispute?

you started blaming, knowing your well seemed like if you started blaming the man who negotiated the praxis, dale for the you, michel, bonnie, a you seem to want to blame somebody for something here. the president of your party's parliamentary group and the national assembly christ off cost, and i spelled it out on front sample. we said those who negotiated the breakfast treaty told us, don't worry, everything's fine. now we find there instances of imprecision. if the u. k can find the loophole in the text. it means it wasn't negotiated in the best way. i thought you were happy with what michelle bunny did present the macro heat praise on him back in 2019. you've gone off him as well. now have you? well, you know, is there now we're talking about the french election. the coming one michelle body is one of the, of the pretenders to go for a,

for the president's the alley public. and so you're just finding a stick to beat him with. you just want to stick to beat him with it. well, well, let's say that in this political world that i now facing every day i've seen a, i've seen action that sometimes are more like a, almost like like, like, like putting a little law. but the law pointing fingers on little details, but globally speaking, the brakes. it negotiation when extremely well, we knew that we would have an issue with this fishing activity. we knew we are, that we will laugh probably an issue with another nyland border at one point in time. i don't know when and, and effectively you case shouldn't take advantage of the loop all of these discussions. because globally speaking, everything was trade was treated fairly fairly. all right, mr. by now, the other big bone of contention between france and the u. k. of illegal migrants crossing the channel from the coast of france in ever increasing numbers. in the

2nd week of november, 1200 people slipped through your security patrols and crossed the channel in a single day. you're not being very effective at stopping them or you that you don't. well, come on. i mean, it takes 2 to tango here, right? a 30000 people try to pass the channel and 40 percent of them succeeded. so if you look at the story from my side, we 6, we re successfully, ah stopped 60 percent of the people trying to pass the channel. if you look and the other side of the channel, the u. k. border, right? they are some measures to be taken as well. so please again, if we start playing with this numbers and the migrations to accelerate or intensify the tension on the very, very sensitive subject, i think that nobody is going to win a win win situation is to go on with the agreement between the french authorities and the u. k. authorities to find a way out of this

a permanent migration. and by the way, a significant numbers of this migrants actually coming from belgium and we not blaming and pointing people. i would like to say they are $77.00 out of 10 of them are supposed to be coming from belgium. why do you let them in? if you know that a large number of them are going to transit illegally or tried to transit illegally to the u. k. because well, you know, the problem is that the most of them are coming from africa as you know, through spain or through italy as, as we are controlling the, the spanish and italian border. they usually go through germany and then move to belgium, back to francis. cuz the ultimate. ready goal is, is the u. k. i don't know why, but it seems that they feel more comfortable working. what he activities in the u. k. and, and, and that's why did they put this pressure on those borders? we do our job, but it again we have to.
