faxing. some experts warn additional booster programs could actually prolong the pandemic. we'll find out why. tough talks ahead between iran and major world powers negotiators gather in vienna trying once again to keep the iran new care deal alive after the 2018 withdrawal of the united states. ah, i'm pablo foliage to our viewers on p b. s. and around the world. welcome to the program. french authorities have announced a fresh set of measures to curb an explosion in the number of corona virus cases in france. they include introducing a vaccine mandate for entry to cafes and restaurants until now, proof of a negative test result was sufficient. face masks will also become mandatory in

some outdoor areas. over 100000 new corona virus cases were recorded in france on christmas day, setting a record for the country. a correspondence on your family car is in paris following this story for us. i saw your good to see you. now, can you give us some more details about these at new measures that have been introduced in france? when at a press conference this evening, a french prime minister's rock r stakes, he announced a several measures to, to kind of tackle these rising numbers and be included. for example, you know, he said on the recommendation of the concrete health, regularly to the government is now advising adults to get their booster doses just 3 months after the initial jobs, he said a companies in france will now have to offer work at home options for employees at least 3 times a week, whenever possible. and he also said capacity limits will now be re imposed for concerts, the sporting venues and other large events. but of course,

one of the main measures announce today is that vaccine mandate that you mentioned for an access to bars and restaurants, museums, and other public venues. members of our present macros cabinet to discussed a piece of legislation that will essentially tightened restrictions on those who remain unlike, seated in france, estimated to be about 6000000 people. and they of course, of a challenge given that many of the intensive care units of a large part are filled with non vaccinated people. now sonya, there have been measures already in place in france and also at there was talk that there would be new restrictions introduced, which were now seeing how the french taken to these at these measures. well we've seen in france this year really long and sustained a protest across the country really against the health pass that was introduced in france in july this year. and that is also one reason by french lawmakers have been a bit wary about introducing vaccine mandates. so far we also have for the special

engine elections coming up next spring. and so lawmakers have tended to crate carefully. but on the other hand, you know, we've had about 78 percent of the french population now that has been double vaccinated. i think many of them are now accustomed to these new restrictions, and i have to say in recent weeks, unlike some european countries, francis stayed away from announcing bigger restrictions, like locked downs or closures. and so, you know, life has seemed, somehow normal in the, in many places. right now we mentioned before, you mentioned it that, you know, we've seen a huge number of the cases over a 100000 new cases actually in one single day. and, and we've got these measures with which we've just been talking about and, or what, what's the reason for this explosion in cases what, what's being blamed on in france? well, i think one of the main reasons like elsewhere is the highly concept transmissible omicron vaccine. you know health experts here of really seeing that has led to the

sojourn cases. it's become critical. they say hospitals now risk of being overwhelmed. but i think one of the reasons could also be increased testing. you know, we've seen people queueing up at laboratories and pharmacies, a trying to get testing before the christmas holidays before they joined the families on holidays. and that could also x mean of you know, why was seeing the secure to jump in numbers. sonya phony car in paris. thank you for that update. israel has begun trialing a force dose of the crone of ours vaccine ordered 50 medical staff at a hospital near telivar being given a 4th shot of the biotech pfizer vaccine. but some medical experts or warning that widespread additional booster programs in rich countries may prolong the global pandemic. this doctor is one of the 1st people to get a 4th corona virus vaccine. he's taking part in what's thought to be a world. first trial, all the participants or medical staff who've had 3 vaccine doses,

but were found to have low antibody levels. i'm excited to be the 1st person, apparently in the world who got the 4th booster of lee cove collection. to paraphrase, in all thing to small job in the shoulder, probably dice therefor mankind. israel's health ministry is considering an expert panels recommendation to give additional boosters to medics and people aged over 60 . some experts urge caution. i really don't know if will only the 4th of those. i think it's a big question. hah. i think it, that's why it's so important to have a research. now before most of the world is even thinking about it. for those, we need to see whether there's any added benefit to giving for almost 45 percent of the israeli population is already triple jobs. but this concern about the spread of the army con variant with some 2000 recorded cases. and one known

death. prime minister natalie bennett, has already ordered preparations to begin for rolling out the 4th dose. if the plan gets approved, it would go against warnings from the world health organizational blanket wooster programs are likely to prolong the pandemic rather than ending it by diverting supply to countries that already have high levels of vaccination coverage . giving the virus more opportunity to spread and mitigate the trial will test the safety and efficacy of a 4th shot. but politicians must decide on the ethics of boosting in the face of global vaccine inequality. let's get a random now of some other headlines to dance of 1st in northeastern brazil, causing severe flooding and forcing the evacuation of thousands of people. water swept into the city of a tomba in by state after the dams gave way. 18 people have died since torrential

rains began pounding region in early november. sarah weddington, the lawyer who won their landmark roe vs wade case in the united states, has died at the age of 76. her victory and the u. s. supreme court gave american women the right to an abortion. she died at her home in austin, texas a u. s. cruise ship carrying more than 1000 passengers has returned to port after an outbreak of coven 19 among crew members. the holland america ship was supposed to dock at a port in mexico, but was turned away by authorities. and i talked over iran's nuclear program are resuming in the austrian capital vienna. it's the 8th round of discussions aimed at saving the 2015 agreement, which was meant to stop to run from developing nuclear weapons. the talks are between germany, the u. k. france, russia, and china, as well as around i. since the united states pulled out of the deal in 2018 to run has increased its enrichment of uranium and restricted inspectors. sanctions

introduced in response have hit iran heart at present, it shipping less than a quarter of the oil it did in 2018. and the drop in exports has meant economic hardship for many iranians hope is in short supply in this commercial district of ot, ron, as the talks and far off sienna, rec, on even the small items on offer here, getting more expensive by the date too expensive for many, most people we meet don't dare to speak out about politics and those who do i disillusioned manager in that, oh, if i don't reach agreement, then it will be young. people like me who pay the price 7. i'm as an economy is in a shambles. and there's no work, and even if you find a job, everything is so expensive when you're young. carney's got on the road, you're going on as in my good only mia, buddy in cash offer quantity. even if they sign

a deal you nothing much will happen. normal, your, i don't think anything in the next year or 2 will have a positive impact on my life to present the humanity of your father or because it was thinking with one i'm to us. okay. you don't my, i think our president does not even interested in reaching an agreement as when i drew honey wanted one, but didn't manager as i'm as adam, i mean like the new government does not even close. you invest in a hobby, it won't work out to successfully a family mafia. timothy lives in the foreign ministry, leading the nuclear negotiations is just across the street. no representative wanted to speak to us priorities have shifted since iran's new hotline government took over sanctions. relieve remains oppressing objective, but official willingness to cooperate with the west is at an all time low. this political analyst at iran university tells us over the realizes that of the, of a, dealing with a country that's not reliable. it's called the united states and b or left the

agreement. once it is this american saying that you fooled me once. shame on you, if you fooled me twice, shame on me. so the racy administration. mr. lacy. other people around him or don't the, don't want to be full twice. many ordinary iranians also feel duped. not only by the international community, but also by their own leaders. i was almost at my phone call for her stay, but the nuclear deal should be made when the basis of these la mic republic is corrected. but from the very foundation such as i wanted to listen, show us when the people in charge him have gone where they belong and his article has, as long as that doesn't happen and agreement will not be reached only to do right through official has the people in charge, think only about the benefits to themselves, lamb only not about the 85000000 people living in this country has the he smallest

retina, right. give and so iranians are bracing for the worst. they know that no agreement is likely to mean more sanctions. and even the possibility of the military confrontation and that they'll be the ones paying the price he does, he still has a toppa reporting there. now, a spokesperson from the iranian foreign ministry urged all participants in the talks to strive for an agreement. here's what he had to say. bmo with ammonia kish battle. yet we advise all the participants in the negotiations to come to vienna with the will to achieve a good agreement with young on talk about what is unbearable for these la mic republic of iran about is the fact that some parties are mistaken in their calculations. i thinking that they can waste the time and energy of others with their campaigns, of false denials, all or falsifying the facts. kathy showed it. let's bring in adnan tabitha by he's

an expert in iran and a co founder of the center for applied research in partnership with the orient. and he joins us from dusseldorf here in germany. i at 9. welcome to d. w. and tell us 1st what's at stake for a run? well basically, the iran's end of the big bargain around the nuclear agreement or the j. c. p. a is to have sanctions relieved to have sanctions relief and to have a proper prospect for economic improvement. and at the same time for the other side, iran scripture program is at stake in control. ready over the iran still care program for iran, obviously it's all about sanctions lifting and that's, i guess one of the king points right now. right now, run on the united states are not actually holding direct tolts, but time is taking this pressure growing on them. and iran wants guarantees that the u. s. won't pull out of any deal in the future. and they also want,

as you mentioned, they're, they want and easing of sanctions and controls which is a thorn in the side for the united states. how much to the u. s and iran actually won this deal though. it's a fair question because i really think both parties are to both parties. this agreement is not as attractive as it was in 2015 when the us pulled out without actual reason behind it to be to put this way. and the sanctions that were then imposed on the wrong have caused economic damage. that cannot be remedied. at the same time iran has in the past, particularly in the past 2 years advanced. it's book your program to a point where the know how obtained is no longer reversible. so for both sides it's, it's not as attractive as it was before, and yet both sides seem to understand that they are better off with the deal than without one. that's why i guess, even though the pace is slow,

they're both aiming at resolving this issue. and perhaps these pressures that we're seeing from the other powers, right? yes, obviously i mean both sides of the one hand want to show that there is no real pressure on them and that they won't bow down to pressure at the same time, everybody at the table knows that the more it takes, the less meaningful its agreement will be become because iran will obtain more nuclear knowledge and the other side will create more economic damage on the wrong . then let's talk about iran's religious a military leader. ali come in a and iran's president deborah, right. see, who's his own as a hard liner? what role are they playing in this you could probably say that for the supreme leader alley harmony, this is all about face saving. he has been so to speak, and someone in your report earlier has pointed to that fact that he has been fooled once already. and he wants to make sure that his government now led by abraham j. c

does not step into another trap or into another policy that if iran is willing to give all these concessions, the other side will abide by it. and here is the difficult part. i guess that they ask for it guarantees that cannot be granted. so they all have to work on a, some sort of an alternative for, for the face saving strategy that the supreme leader is conducting a by thank you for your analysis. my pleasure. now to somalia, we're a long running political crisis has escalated, that's after president mohammed abdulla. hi, he and mohammed said he was suspending the prime minister at mohammed his sane roadway. but rob lay is refusing to go until cold on the military to support him. international observers are concerned the fragile east african country could once again descend into armed conflict tension on the streets of the

somali capital mogadishu, armed forces are being asked to show their loyalty to prime minister mohammed hussein rob lee in the face of what he called and attempted coup by the president will humphrey at the man? i order all forces to take direct orders from the government and the prime minister's office. what is good either was at up nature urgently. prosecute any one that opposes this order. aga will let the thunder la la, la shide, up a day earlier president mohammed abdulla, he, muhammad issued an order, declaring the prime minister, had been suspended from office. the president accused the prime minister of stealing public land and interfering with an investigation. yeah, it's an escalation in a long running feud between the 2 power brokers seen here together in 2020, both the cues each other of delaying elections,

which were due this year after more than 3 decades of conflict and instability. residents are hoping for a peaceful resolution and i am less of a deadly that we're sorry about the conflict between the leaders. this will affect us. since we have a government that was progressing, we do not want to set back. we request the president and the prime minister to solve their conflict. in a somali way, the united states embassy in mogadishu has called for immediate de escalation and for all sides to avoid violence. college president on re duda has vetoed a controversial media law saying he could not signed the bill in its current form. it would have banned companies outside europe from holding a controlling stake and polish media companies. demonstrations against the law attracted thousands of people with critic saying it would have curtailed press freedom. ah, colin's president has put his foot down with

a widow. he has halted the government's plans for a new media law and sent the issue back to parliament. the each on up of not him of the board. i appeal to the parliament to find better solutions with the opposition, so that shares of foreign owners can be reduced in the future or lovable. but in any responsible society contracts that have already been signed, have to be respected. the oxy push out on it, just pulling up zigler on each nerve spool. and so the only private tv station that remains critical of the government will be allowed to continue broadcasting the c t . the n belongs to the american media group discovery. both the u. s. and the you had criticized the law after all, americans would have to give up their majority shareholding. it could even lead to a hefty lawsuit on the streets. tens of thousands of balls have been demonstrating . they feel that the law coves, media freedom and must be withdrawn for the opposition. this is a win visible. the president does not want to sign up to a project with

a government and decline, but he wants to preserve good relations with the americans over the earth. his american army, as the president cast as vito he also said that many polish citizens do not want more conflicts. they are already facing rising prices due to inflation and setbacks from the corona virus pandemic. but the media law could be back in parliament to be debated all over again. you're watching the w still come, says africans begin a week of morning to honor an anti apartheid icon and nobel peace prize. lloyd, who helped to shape the country's history. archbishop desmond, to well as the year draws to a close, we're looking back in some of our most memorable reports from 2021. the coven. 19 pandemic has left health care workers around the world. sick, exhausted, and in many cases, traumatized. the sheer number of patients and the inability to save some of them

these are not numbers. it also weighed on her that for months she could not see her daughters to avoid possible infections. at amanda blanco is now in therapy that i mean are you learned? and he told me to understand that no one outside our feel can really understand what we have lived through in here. it wasn't told and we also don't want to talk about it, miss on bologna, get him up on that. many colleagues in the hospitals in madrid, share that opinion. the experience was too traumatic. first studies show that at least 40 percent of medical professionals need a psychological assessment. and some experts even think that there's already another pandemic that will soon spread worldwide. the one that affects mental health in fisher angles hospital 500 out of a 1500 professionals require extra help. for instance, in the psychiatric ward, which has set up special support groups. it was you want a merger, a robot, but even deals. but we already put preventive groups in motion before it all
