refused to market some of that sort of product on its literature as such. but i think allies of memorial stress that this is less about a sort of a technical violation of the, of the foreign agent laws and more about memorial sort of gender more general clash with the general sort of narrative that's, that's prevalence in russian society right now. is which is that the stalinist era, the started this crime should be sort of forgotten and that we should instead sort of em emphasize the countries achievement in the, in the 2nd world war winning the war. suddenly what we saw today in the course of very much sort of supported that argument, we saw the state prosecute to say that our russian shouldn't be ashamed. russians shouldn't be sort of repentance for the past, and instead they should be take pride in the achievements of the starlit period. so i think this was really a case of, you know, there were many note there were many sort of potential red lines that the criminal laid down the memorial had crossed. and this was sort of a case of a perfect storm, almost many, many sort of claims, many pretensions on to memorial from the criminal side today,

certainly and memorial says it's become a target of the same repression. it's trying to protect people from and that the move here is politically motivated. are they right? well it's, it's difficult to say sort of categorically, but i certainly think that is a political dynamic here we, we saw in the court today, the prosecutors making a very strong argument that this was basically about the memory of the 2nd world war. they said that memorial had been founded as an organization that our research repressions that helped victims, but that it moved in recent years towards what they called sort of blocking the name of the soviet union and dispatching rewriting history. these are the very much there was and so i think we certainly saw a political angle here. now it's very difficult to say what the specific sort of violation, what, what it, what is it we're doomed? memorial was, but i certainly think this was a case that was very, very high. the anticipated russian and very intensity what both by sort of

representatives of liberal, civic society and by representatives of the criminal. so this was very politically charged without a doubt, i think they're almost out of time. but is there any avenue for appeal or? well, certainly the legal side, the legal representation of the moral have said they will appeal and they can take it you or they can repeal to the russian supreme court so they can go to european court. but it's going to be quite frank. the chances of success are very limited and i suspect acknowledge that sells. certainly, i think memorial even if it continues in some form. it's existence as a sort of a registered civil society organization in russia is reaching the end of its road. i think phoenix launch analyst and moscow, thanks very much for your time. when i was 10 on some other stories making headlines, the charity group save the children has confirmed 2 of its staff were killed in an attack. find me on my military on christmas day. the workers were among the dead after the charred remains as more than 30 people were found in the countries aisd.

the mediterranean has denied any involvement in the killing. dozens of women have marched and cobble in protest against policies of the country's new taliban government. the protest is called on the government to respect women's rights and accused its members of covertly killing soldiers of the ousted regime since taking power in august. the taliban have continually pushed women and girls out of schools and public life. syrian state media says israel has carried out an overnight extra strike on the country's main port city of la takia. the raid course significant material damage. according to an unnamed syrian military source, it's believed to be israel's 2nd attack on the pool this month. a man has opened fire in the us state of colorado killing people. authorities in the capital. denver said the suspect rampage through at least 7 locations across the city. 3 others, including one police officer,

were injured before the suspect was shot dead in exchange of fire. with police. germany's constitutional court has ordered parliament to immediately issue laws, protecting people with disabilities in pandemic, related tree are situations. trash is the process of prioritizing patients for treatment. for example, if hospitals are on unable to cope with demands for intensive care, the case was filed by a group of people with disabilities and pre existing conditions. they expressed fees, they would be denied treatment if the pandemic pushes hospitals to their limits. and as the army con variant of the virus spreads, germany's government is urging people to get vaccinated. people have been flocking to vaccination centers for their booster shots even during the festive season. thousands of people are getting their job like at this vaccination center in berlin . at the moment, more than 70 percent of the population is fully vaccinated. and around 36 percent

of all germans have received the booster shot the booth that informed him from the 3 the booster booster. as right now, we're barely giving any shots in vaccinations centers to 98 percent boost to jobs. the people who come here are already pro vaccine kind of actively sought out a vaccination underwood. and people turning up here for a booster shot believe it's the key to ending depend i make i think it's good. most people who get vaccinated the better for all of us, that's also very important for me. so it's super important and i think it's very, very important to us. i'm a bit worried and that's why i'm here. that's all been here and i got it because my job is important to me and i come into contact with a lot of people. the booster and my health are important. germany has introduced new social d sensing measures and restriction, and of the so called to

t rule only those vaccinated are recently recovered, may enter many venues and events. under the 2 g plot through, people also have to show a negative test result on top of that. thanks to these measures, germany has managed to have the number of infections, the 100000 inhabitants between the end of november and the end of december. all on know, you will also be here over the new year to vaccinate people. because we're in a really critical phase where in a situation where every day counters see it and where it's better to be vaccinated today, rather than tomorrow. our thirty's fear a new wave of infection due to the army crime variant. we not only hit the population hard, particularly the unvaccinated, but could also affect the running of critical infrastructure, such as hospitals had not the public services. china is expanding, locked down to hundreds of thousands more people in the northern parts of sean g

problems. order to stay home authority is continuing with mass testing in order to try and curtail the outbreak of cov 19. the recent flare up her st. trying to reach a 21 month high and in fiction rights. the measures come as beijing prepared to welcome thousands of overseas visitors to february's winter and picks. for more, i'm joined by fabi and crunch my in beijing. tommy, and thanks for joining us. china is saying it's the biggest coven outbreak for $21.00 mom. see it compared to other regions in the world? the number, the still quite low around 200 new infections a day. why is, why is the government reacting in this harsh way? where they've always reacted very harsh of the strategy that the government is implementing here, c recovered and that means even if they are only a handful of cases, whole cities, they have been sealed off. and one game changer was that now than you m variance of

the virus are more infectious and the authorities have to act even faster and out $175.00 cases in c on that. so that might not see much. but for china, that's the highest daily infection number since 21 months. so basically, since the 1st wave, and there are several reasons why also the authorities are reacting very nervous and one is of course, the upcoming winter games em. i mean, all overseas travelers they will be in, in a coven bubble. they will also be sealed from the rest of the population. so the various, not so much there, there will be much more local infection classes spreading. i mean that also, but also it's about a and prestige project and china has been fighting against the virus very successfully and they don't want the situation to get under control before the olympics. what trana doing to prevent the spread of on the crime? that's really a big question and no one can really answer that. i mean, the government has acknowledged that there are several am on the crankcase us,

but they have not slipped outside the m guaranteed barbara. so overseas em travelers that they've been tested positive but um, on the inside the, her current in hotels. however, it's only a question of time am when the next local infection cluster will be caused by the army chron variant and den, or there's not much what the government can do, except for what it's doing now locked down mass testing, et cetera. because the sat used for china is the domestic vaccines there daunted, are proved to be efficient against our micron. that's what our research us tell me from hong kong, but also elsewhere. even 3 shots from sine awake is not enough to protect you from amazon wave. the local vaccine isn't working what their strategy will, they will they import an axis i don't see any, an indicator for that. you have to remember not long time ago, the state media here they've been discrediting and foreign vaccines and also appraising their own domestic vaccines. a superior and for chuck, the chinese government, that would be a huge loss of face of now they would turn to importing a vest and vaccines. what,

what is happening is that the domestic producer, they are developing an in new generation of vaccines, are also m r n a vaccines, and also a covered pills for people who are already infected and then get cured. so there are some strategies, but for the foreseeable future, i'm china, we're probably, i'm stick to, it's a strategy of border closures and a strict current teen. and that of course has a lot of effects for, i mean there's almost no culture exchange, no human to human exchange. so it's rudy or strategy was a high cost or either the encroachment in painting thanks very much. the death toll from catastrophic flooding in northeast and brazil has risen to 20. when the governor of bar here stank, calling it the regents, worst disaster ever. and flooding has been caused by heavy rains following a long drought. the situation worse and when to dams burst forcing the evacuations of thousands of people the helicopter comes to the rescue of

a man who fled to his roof to escape the floods. he's one of the lucky ones. this is the sight of a dan, versed in huge a pay in the southeast of by a province. the city released this video with a warning about flash floods and in the city of it's a boon. a further down stream, one river rose by 9 meters. the water flooded streets, homes and shops, leaving residence in shock. for us. my point though, only it was crazy. there was a to me to hi, waverly meadows. these are the worst floods in buyer. in 33 years. the authorities have declared a state of emergency in about 70 cities. 35000 people have lost their homes. experts blame the extreme weather on tampa from the amazon and the latin india weather phenomenon. governor re costa is promising aid, drinking water, food, and shelter. but the logistical challenge is immense. many roads are blocked neighbors

helping each other. do this, have you been with us? i've seen a lot of videos which show people taking risks to help weak people, like children thought of the health ministry sending 90 doctors to the region. and the threat of flooding is still severe with rain set to last another week. in watching danbury news coming out next after a short break is the business news with rob. what? stay tuned for that. i'm rebecca written in berlin for me and the entire team. thanks very much for watching. take care. we'll see you next out with these places in europe, for smashing in the records. step into a bold adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of you will record breaking sites on your back,

youtube and now also in book form. imagine how many portion of love us her now in the world right now, the climate change, the very hard story. this is much less the way from just one week. how much work can really get we still have time to go. i'm doing all with his subscriber all morning. he was like ah, europe ships in extra gas as tensions with russia grow? moscow continues to deny is deliberately restricting flows to its western neighbors will get the view of an energy industry expert. as turkeys lera keeps tumbling

will meet the bulgarians crossing the border to profit from their better buying power and demand for private jets has hit new heights during the pandemic. we'll hear why. business travelers have been ditching commercial flights. this is d to be a business on robots in berlin. welcome to the program. you are energy crunches. fueling tensions with russia. moscow has denied restricting gas deliveries to its neighbors, insisting that to blame for their own problems. like a natural gas pipeline has been running in reverse from germany to poland, after russia stopped flows in the other direction me while western europe is sourcing extra supplies from the u. s. as the energy crisis. difference. this earthquake in northern holland was recorded on surveillance cameras over 70 quakes have been recorded and groaning in this year. court fosten still remembers one strong quake in 2012. i was sitting behind my desk on,

on a desk chair with her with wheels underneath and i was moving forward and backward for about 20 centimeters. so it's really shaken. what's happening here? fosten belongs to us citizens initiative that blames natural gas production for the constant earthquakes. that's why pumping stations are being gradually shut down. in 2023 production will stop completely because the damage is only getting worse. is that the costs of strengthening, strengthening houses in order to be able to continue gas extraction was rising too much and to 3rd, to set the guess field is for 1890 percent empty. at this moment, the netherlands will soon stop being a major gas supplier. the country will even have to import gas itself from places like the gas storage facility in raiden in lower saxony. here gas is stored under ground,

mainly from russia. but because gas storage facilities are only half full gas market, experts are worried. a bit of a sudden the gas levels are already very low. they have not been this low at this time of year in the last 10 years. and because it has been cold in the last few days and cold weather is forecasted for january, the storage facilities are emptying relatively quickly. this is a situation that is already worrying market participants. you can see that in the high prices, as critics say, gas prom which has close ties to the kremlin, is keeping delivery volumes low in order to put pressure on the you. that spat stems from the e u position on the ukraine conflict and the slow approval pace of the controversial nord stream to baltic sea pipeline. the situation is worsening for over a week. gas prom has not sent natural gas via the critical your mall pipeline to this pumping station in brandenburg. the price is hidden. prices are so high now

that we are actually worried about the security of gas supplies. so if you strategic restraint, no longer makes sense here, and we are actually destroying our prospects as a reliable gas supplier for the next few years out for latisha, osley put on for the next yogurt doubts around gas proms. reliability are growing as our fears that russia's president putin will use natural gas as a bargaining chip in the future. a potential ace up his sleeve in this political poker game with the european union. now took his currency, has fallen 60 percent against the dollar. this year, the government of president edwin has struggled to make it's an orthodox economic policy work lowering interest rates despite inflation spiraling out of control that hits the pocket of the average turkish purse. however, for tourists from neighboring bulgaria and greece, it's a chance to snap up products at bargain prices,

including hair at the border city of it in 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 dinner every week by car bus or train, especially the weekend when they pack out the bizarre she will maze gladly took alyssa 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. lisa, which is a saturday. she still has a c, h, t to lust. one lab is worth almost 9 lira just 3 months ago. it was only 6 the back lava bakeries around the bizarre, also busi. the turkish sweet pastries, also popular bulgaria to baker's advertise their goods in turkish, bulgarian,

and greek. usually yet, but aluminum to bulgarians. come to a deer and in big groups and shop like crazy. sometimes they buy 5 or 10 of the same items we're planning to sell it on or thinking they won't find these again, we'll have another, i'm sorry, like they really do some serious stocking up. take the products back to bulgaria, yet, or gotten them to smoothly of hello good unit im lewis. i actually in the supermarket, it quickly becomes obvious who's turkish and who was bulgarian, while turks can afford less and less because of the falling currency. the bulgarians and greeks are cashing in the shop or tourist spend an average of $500.00 euros per person according to the university of a dinner many by enough goods to last several weeks. the city is currently trying to persuade the day trippers to stay longer. not with even lower prices, but by expanding what it has to offer next year, they're leaving be a christmas market. quite a novelty for predominantly muslim turkey as some of the other global business

stories making the news. china's complained to the un after it's space station almost collided with space ex satellites. twice this year in mosques company is planning to place $12000.00 small satellites in all of it to provide global internet access. currently $1800.00 of them already circling nineth. a research suggests for out of 5 german hospitals are struggling to fill job vacancies nationwide. more than 22000 jobs remain unfilled according to the countries hospital institute. that number has tripled since 2016 hospitals have blaine restrictions on operations. during the pandemic. the loss of workers no airline passengers are facing another day of major disruption over 10000 flights have been canceled. world wide since christmas eve. many airlines suffering staff shortages due to ami kron outbreaks over 2000 commercial flight schedule for tuesday, have been cancelled according to the website. flight aware of the unreliability of

commercial i travel during the pandemic has led many high and business travelers to look for alternatives. as a result, demand for private jets is sky high. being able to choose when you want to fly, as well as who you want to fly with. are 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 mid season 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. so i 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 operate as a strong ling to keep up with the demand as his 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,

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. meanwhile, the pandemic is brought tough times to the global fashion industry consume is confined to their home, spend less money on clothes, and should have shops couldn't sell them. anyway. fashion designers have also been struggling with lucrative showcases often can sort. we met one such designer in india, videos from 2019, bring back fond memories for a fashion designer blue mika cheda. she was at the top of her game back then with models at india fashion. we can mom by before the pandemic business was booming. people who have not paid for me, i know that i believe that it is not that intention not to pay me. ah,

but they want to but it just that the kinds of difficult. so i from my hard again, unity, i believe for them that if their businesses are good, if they do good, ah, if they come out of the situation quicker and foster, i think even i'll be in a better position and then my money can be to leave the pandemic drove the tourists away to on the street and mom by fashion stores of clothes down in droves. booming kancheta also had to close her store. everybody, one after the other, has closed down the business over a year. and this it ordered was one of us in house, had begun renewed as a days, but giving up is not her style. she could no longer afford her old design and sewing workshop. so she moved her business to a much smaller location. less than 10 of her 45 sewing machines remain in operation

and she was only able to keep a handful of employees. you jesse and jessica. this is signs i real. i mean come good. the will. the impact on work has been too much. earlier we had a very big staff, we had 110 or 111 people working except where, but i'll be watching somebody now that's not the situation right now. we only of 8 to 10 people working here as we don't have as much work as before. and it's like having no work at all relative like ami made us of leg work. come cut the me, which will graduate fabrics and patterns fill the store rooms. before the pandemic, the workshop was a roomy, 400 square meters. now the boss can barely find a seat through all my of i will plan is concerned. oh no, i'm not going to shut it. okay, so slowly,

gradually. oh, earlier than i used to make for myself, my own brand, and i used to explore the noise. that transition has been to sustain and survive. i'm making other, but i'm production for producing for them. i design and make sample for the brand on which they give the orders these days boomy, conchita only gets to designed late at night. in one of her shops which she's converted into a grocery store. another step in her crisis management plan. not so from us by ah, they want to know what makes the german here just in the gym. loved on banning thing stuff away from, but i'm not even know how to work my own car and everyone with later holes and everything i just getting are you ready to meet the german can join me right. just
