ah, when people come together they wouldn't normally talk to each other. the american colony hotel in 75 minutes on d w in ah, ah, this is dw news. why? from berlin? friends introduces new measures to slow the spread of the corona virus. the countries prime minister says it's facing the highest number of cases since the start of pandemic, will get the latest from our correspondent in paris. also coming up. israel begins

trialing, a 4th dose of the corona, virus vaccine. but some experts warn additional booster programs could actually prolong the pandemic. we'll find out why and poland, president of the toes, a law restricting the foreign ownership of media will look at why the u. s. and the you were among its biggest critics. ah, i'm aaron tilden, 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 mask 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. now our correspondence sonya on the car is in paris following this story for us. so sonya, can you give us more details about the new measures in france? so the french prime minister, jock, our stakes in a press conference announced several measures to tackle these wising numbers. and among other things, he said, you know, on the recommendation of the countries health regulated, the french government is now advising adults to receive a booster or doors just 3 months after they received those initial jabs. he said companies in france will now have to offer work from home options for employees at least twice a week. and he also said that capacity limits will be re imposed for concerts and matches, and other big a live events in france. but one of the main measures announced that he really is that vaccine mandate that he talked about earlier. basically it will replace frances health bars, which is currently required for access to bars and restaurants, museums,

and other public venues. with the vaccine, a pass and to be a members of prison. macros, cabinet met in a crisis meeting to discuss this piece of legislation, which will effectively you know, tightened restrictions on boards who remain unvaccinated in france and their estimated to be about 6000000 of them. will frances recorded over 100000 new cases in just a single day? what's the country's explosion in cases being blamed on well, like in other places, i think of the highly transmissible omicron variant is largely being beam of blamed for the search in cases here. you know, health experts have really kind of sounded the alarm and said, you know, the font fonts faces a critical moment and say that hospitals could also risk being overwhelmed. and another reason for those high numbers could also be increased testing. you know ahead of this holiday season, we've seen long queues at nevada trees and pharmacies as many french rush to get tested before they joined the family members. and that could partially also explain

the jumping numbers. now how have the french taken to the measures already in place and the possibility of new restrictions, which we're now seeing being introduced. well, so this year in france we've seen, you know, regular and sustained protests against the introduction of the health boss was introduced in july this year. and that is partly the reason why french lawmakers have been a bit wary to really introduce any kind of vaccine mandate. we also have elections, presidential elections next spring. so french lawmakers are going to wary by this issue as it's likely the dyslexia mandate could trigger for the protest in france. but at the same time, you know about 78 percent of the french population is now double vaccinated. and though there is i think offensive resignation, people who are i think are accustomed to restrictions. we also have to remember that in recent weeks, frances, really avoided a financing major restrictions in the form of locked downs or closures or curfews. or which arguably are you know, how harder to adapt?

well, that was so when you found the car bringing us the lead is from paris. thank you for joining us. israel has begun trialing a 4th dose of the corona virus. maxine, 130 medical staff at a hospital near tel aviv are being given a 4th shot of the pfizer by on deck vaccine. some medical experts are warning that widespread additional booster programs in rich countries may actually pull long for 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 eco collection to paraphrase and all thing, a 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 mediate 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. what's going to round up some other headlines now? 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 american ship was supposed to dock at a port in mexico, but was turned away by authorities. somali as prime minister has called on security forces to follow his orders and accused the president of an attempted to president mohammed abdulla mohammed earlier suspended. prime minister mohammed was seen the hobbler from office on allegations of corruption. the 2 leaders have repeatedly clashed over delays. the somali of parliamentary elections,

hardship for many iranians hope is in short supply in this commercial district of o t. ron. as the talks and far off, yenna drake 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 in 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 control of their 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 just like

a little my think our president is not even interested in reaching an agreement as when i drew honey wanted one, but didn't manager as well as that. i think the new government does not even close to any this. give a hobby, if it won't work out to successfully a fan, i had my fiancee on what they never said. 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 hard line government took over sanctions relieve remains of pressing objective, but official willingness to cooperate with the west. is that an all time low? this political analyst a t t ron university tells us over the realizes that of the, of dealing with a country that's not reliable. it's called the united states at the left, the agreement. once it is this american saying that you fooled me once. shame on you. if you called me a toys, shame on me, so the racy administration,

mr. lacy, other people around him 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. as i'm up, i don't care 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, as only the recent years when the people in charge them have gone where they belong them places i recall a has as long as that doesn't happen and agreement will not be reached only to dora 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 heart care. and so iranians are bracing for the worst. they know that no agreement is likely to mean more sanctions. and even the possibility of

a military confrontation and that they'll be the ones paying the price. earlier we spoke to iran expert at none tupper to buy and asked him how much iran in the united states really want the steel. i 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 on the sanctions that were then imposed on iran have caused economic damage that cannot be remedied. at the same time, iran has in the past, particularly the past 2 years advanced. it's the fear a program to a point where the know how obtained is no longer reversible. so for both sides it's not as attractive as it was before. and yet both sides seem to understand that they are better off with a deal than without one. that's why i guess, even though the pace is slow,

they're both aiming at resolving this issue. 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 than the clear knowledge and the other side will create more economic damage on the wrong polish president to die has vetoed a controversial media law saying he could not signed the bill in its current form. it would have been companies from outside europe from holding a controlling stake and polish media companies. demonstrations against the law attracted thousands of people with critic seen it would have curtailed freedom of the press. ah, colin's president has put his foot down with a widow. he has halted the government's plans for a new media now and sent the issue back to parliament. that each and that of not him, of i appeal to the parliament to find better solutions with the opposition. and so i would say that shares of foreign owners can be reduced in the future. let us go and put in a responsible society contracts that have already been signed. have to be respected

zigler on each net sport. and so the only private t v station that remains critical of the government will be allowed to continue broadcasting. t v n belongs to the american media group discovery. so thought 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 pools have been demonstrating to feel that the law clubs, media freedom and must be withdrawn for the opposition. this is a win was, is a focus. the president does not want to sign up to a project with a government in decline, so he wants to preserve good relations with the americans is 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 g w news. here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you. france produces new measures in a bid to slow the 5th wave of crone. the virus infections of the country faces the highest number of cases. since the start of the pandemic, new restrictions include limits on public gatherings and compulsory home working. you're watching need of you news coming up next is business with daniel winter mer until from berlin from me and the team. thanks for watching. take care and see what the top of next hour. t w's crime fighters are back. africa's most successful radio drama series continues. all episodes are available online. and of course you can share and discuss on d. w, africa's facebook page,

a 2020 to uplift. we'll look at why they're so upbeat despite the pandemic, and we'll talk turkey the countries tumbling currency, providing attractive opportunities for neighbors looking to snap up bargain and daniel winter. welcome to your business update. as bookings took off this holiday season, the airlines a thought that their share prices would be fall flying high to. but as all micron cases saw thousands more flights were cancelled on monday. since christmas eve around 8300 flights have been grounded and tens of thousands more to late. many airlines have reported staff shortages due to on the chron spikes. more than 700 commercial flights scheduled for tuesday have already been cancelled according to the website flight aware, and with few flights on scheduled airlines, the inconvenience of covered restrictions. high end business travelers are looking for alternatives. being able to choose when you want to fly,

as well as who you want to fly with or obvious advantages. during the pandemic industry bodies estimate the number of seats airlines could offer passengers. harvard in 2020. that means more than 2 and a half 1000000 fewer seats. private aviation industry operators are picking up the slack and are in high demand about in said with these and in times like these some flight connections aren't available or out adapted to their schedules for business people or government officials. but also, there are families who want to fly on holiday and can't reach their destination any other way. the so depending on the size of the aircraft, charter rights begin at around 2 and a half 1000 euros an hour. so way, the cost of a chart, a jet flying $5.00 passengers from paris to frankfurt and back around one and a half hours each way. that gives a total of $7500.00 euros. fly the same 5 people in business class. and the bill's

going to be around $5000.00 euros, but that comes with the time wasting and inconvenience at commercial airports both ends plus the risk of infection from other passengers. while in a private jet, there's the chance to prepare for that important conference or business meeting while on route. worldwide, the number of business jet flights in november 2021 was almost 60 percent up from the same time in 20. 20 chatted. yet. operators are struggling to keep up with the demand as is momentous, as really look at the moment. it's very hard because of a pandemic to get aeroplanes as an aircraft operator as an a line in the business of aviation. we have to realize that the market is empty. secondhand aeroplanes are just not available. and even new orders take 2 or 3 years at the moment, have a moment. so far, the major source of growth has been in the united states. but since the appearance

of the on the chron strain of the corona virus demand in europe is really taking off 2021 has been blighted by all manner of supply shortages at the end of the year is proving no different over the festive period backlogs. at ports of held up deliveries of all kinds of seasonal favorites in the u. s. supply bottlenecks approving a major frustration for farmers. walnuts do particularly well at gold river farm in california at the end of the year. from here they're shipped around the world. 30 percent of the global supply comes from the west coast state. so this load is going to germany. these in shall, walnuts are going to lebanon. and these loads are going to japan. but this year, the boxes are piling up in the warehouses. not how it should be. exports are grinding to a halt. gold rivers president is worried. are we are shipping right now?

less than half of what we should be shipping in could be shipping this time of the year, simply because there's not equipment available. the port of oakland, a key export hub, see routes in major ports like this one are heavily congested due to high demand. ships often go only as far as los angeles rather than up to oakland to save time and money. they're making these decisions to try to get their vessels back on schedule as quickly as possible. and also because of the incredible import demand, they're trying to hurry back to asia, pick up in ports and bring him over to the united states. the woman farmers here in northern california are losing out the competition on world markets is fears. china and chile are also important not suppliers. so is europe. customers,

retailers, for example, no longer necessarily, but for quality in times of uncertain supply. they're more concerned about availability, which is why the californians have already lost customers. now finally, to some positive news, the german companies are expecting big things from next year, despite all the concerns about covered and supply chain shortages. that's according to the latest annual survey by the cologne institute for economic research. 3 quarters of those surveyed said they expect higher production of business activity next year. the remaining quarter say things are going to be unchanged. not a single association expects their sector to be worse off. while earlier we spoke to michelle, who took who his organization did the survey, asking him why german companies are so a beat. i think 3 arguments make clear why the german business sector is optimistic 1st. we are still out of the way of crisis. and the year 2021 was

a disappointed mom grows and we faced all the supply side problems you mentioned already. this year and the next year 2020 a will be a year of catching up again. and we will hope to come to the level again. so it's still year of catching up. second, we have a lot of more in the other statistics, up to jeremy be nearly on the storage level on the highest level. so there is no demand side problem. the only problem we have the only maybe micro but if it's the supply side, you mentioned. so we expected the john business as john will expect that it will pull up the problem next year. so all this is base. ready is the basis for optimism, but more most important, we have no demand why problems adding to asia. now china is seeing its highest numbers of corona virus cases since february of 2020 though over 200 reported on sunday. most of the cases are in the northern city of shyanne. almost all

businesses have been ordered to close. residents must stay confined to their homes while authorities carry out what they call a full disinfection. the usually bustling city of $13000000.00 is more like a ghost town. only one person from each household is allowed out every 2 days to buy household necessities. all non essential businesses have been ordered to close . they may not like it, but 2 years into the pandemic, people are getting used to it, stocking their fridges, and preparing to sit it out. that's a chance i you may want me to, but now with experience, we know that locked down a large scale contact tracing and investigations of infected cases as well as quarantine are very effective. he, that's our china has been able to curb the spread of a pandemic. i've been such a shorter time, or you go my in the trees. so now i'm not scared. i like that. all we have to do is follow quarantine instructions home and the pandemic will go away soon. if you

might have a good, china has implemented a strict 0 covert strategy since mid last year, using tight border restrictions. targeted, locked down st. lengthy quarantines and population tracing technology. managing to slow new cases to a trickle. the country is implemented even stricter measures as it braces for thousands of international athletes. for the winter olympics, in february, foreign spectators are mostly banned. all participants must be fully vaccinated. and once they enter, the olympic bubble will undergo daily virus tests. but with the virus expected to become a part of normal, everyday life. elsewhere in the world, china's total lockdown strategy is coming increasingly under question to you. actually you shifting youngel that won't go up on turkeys currency has fallen 60 percent against the dollar this year. the government for us of president edwin has struggled to make its unorthodox economic policy work. lowering interest rates,

despite inflation spiraling out of control, that hits the pocket of the average turkish person. however, for a tourist from neighboring bulgaria and greece is a chance to snap up products at bargain prices, including here at the border city of a dinner. ah, it's a smooth process crossing the turkish border. here's a deer. now. the border guards are well used to day trippers by now. 20000 visitors come to a deer and every week by car bus or train, especially the weekend when they pack out the bizarre, she will maze glutton took it as a group. it's more convenient for me to shop here a buy clothes and food and whatever. we need for the children and grandchildren for christmas. bulgaria is much more expensive than here. if you ask, how much love we exchanged, i exchanged $500.00 left. it's plenty for all of us to such and such additions didn't exist teachy to love. one lab is worth almost 9 lira just 3 months ago. it

persuade the day trippers to stay longer, not with even lower prices, but by expanding what it has to offer. next year they'll even be a christmas market. quite a novelty for predominantly muslim turkey. and a reminder, the top business story we're following for the our airlines are continuing to struggle as staff colon say come thousands of flights have been cancelled, weld white. meanwhile, us firms are calling for a change to cope with isolation rules to reduce the impact and you're up to date with dw business. i'm daniel winter in berlin from me and the business team stay healthy state site. continue against a pulse, a beginning of a story that moves us and takes us so long for the ride. it's only about the perspective culture
