8:09 am
police have also said that one of the big problems is that in districts, whether a frequent power outages, the traffic lights don't function. so officers are now being trained to kind of manually regulate these crossings at big junctions. the other problem a little bit is crime now, is incidents of looting and theft have gone up in certain districts with some criminals taking advantage of the dark. but the fully see an overall crime hat is down a since since keith was forced to introduce these blackouts last october. the w sunroof monica in care of their thank you. the german chancellor is expected to name a new defense minister later today or monday. christina lambert resigned from the post following a series of blunders most recently and new year's eve video that was widely considered inappropriate. in the end, she caught a deflated figure. jam in defense minister, christina lambert on friday. her last outing in the jaw. by monday morning,

8:17 am
experts are already sunny. the alarm about the effect this could have on china's proven 19 outbreak. leaning you yeah, means being on the move. travel hops across the country are packed with people having home to celebrate the holidays with their families. memories of luck, downs, and travel restrictions are slowly fading from china's collective conscience. i off. i haven't been home for about 2 years ago. he. i'm so excited right now. so happy. young emmy. oh, to no arms and my parents in 2 years. they don't, you know, the pre holiday, but that's gripping the country stands in contrast to the atmosphere in the covet 19 boards of chinese hospitals are a doctorate this hospital and then ye, city tells the chinese broadcast has cctv that he seeing an upset and critical k
8:18 am
that 19 cases mostly affecting the elderly yoke i will be in the number of severe cases is climbing dodge because patients in rural areas pay less attention to the mild symptoms at the early stage of infection and failed to receive timely treatments. vega to the order for java to go switch it since paging abandoned it 0 cove, it approach hospitals have provided clues that the corona virus is wreaking havoc and china right now. especially those hospitals felt by foreign camera crews and mobile thing uses last saturday, the chinese government announced that nearly 60000 people with coated 19 had died in hospitals since last month's policy change. and that's a big jump from earlier official figures. you should i that statement followed an accusation by the world health organization that beijing as heavily under reporting deaths from the virus aria sharia by the total number of deaths. including those
8:19 am
outside of hospital is likely to be much higher than 3 years into pandemic. health experts fear that this leaning you yeah, travel season will intensify the current outbreak but like citizens and other countries, china is learning to find a balance between caution and the desire to live in normal life. again. joining me here, the student is beijing base, correspond javion catch. mo has been living in china during the last 3 and a half years and returned a just recently 5. what's it like to travel with millions of people heading home for chinese, new year? it's quite an extreme situation. i mean, the trouble rushing chinese new year is sometimes called the largest human migration. and before the pandemic in 200-1000, they were almost 3000000000 trips were just that. and so when you go to a train station is extremely packed plane tickets, you to be sold out in the hotel price searching. and you know, it's the for many families,
8:20 am
the only change in the year to gather together. and this is very special because in the last 3 years, the pandemic basically ruined the family festivals. and now people can gather together. and it's the 1st time in 3 years to meet parents, for example. so it was so many millions of people on the way there are concerns that the chinese new year holiday could become a super spread event, especially with regard to a new variance, maybe of coven, 19 chinese authorities, prepared to do this. well, i would say not sufficient. i know that in many areas are still not enough. antiviral drugs and treatments. and i mean, i've been in beijing during the big kobe waive in december. and i've seen that that was really a big stress test. and now the people from the big cities will travel to the provinces, areas where the health system is much less developed. i mean, the hospitals are not so well equipped, the doctors are not so well qual, of qualified. and also that is the areas where the most people who live they are
8:21 am
really older and more vulnerable to the virus. so of course the concerns are really i would say justified now, many experts say that china is not really transparent with its figures. the number of covert fatalities is that concerned justified? yeah, definitely. i mean, just when the big wave started, the transparency decreased massively, the official numbers of infections and deaths became very unreliable. i mean, completely absurdly wrong actually. and then at some point they stop publishing numbers. now you could say it has, you know, improved a little bit just recently the national health commission that said that there were up to 60000 over there since december. that's at least a quote unquote, more realistic number. but, i mean, is that correct? probably it's still under reported and we have to trust it or not. and i would say at least according to the prognosis of other experts, this number is still too low. now like the 1400000000 people in china,
8:22 am
you as well have lived in lockdown for nearly 4 years. how did ordinary chinese experience this blocked on? i was such a long period of time in the 1st year to 2020 of the pandemic. a many as a part of the 0 corporate strategy and the lockdown is really only affected very small minority, but that has completely changed, especially since last year with on a chron. basically, a lot of times became extremely frequent, and also the economic effects were disaster. so many people struggled and you know, couldn't travel, couldn't meet their family. so it was mentally, of course, and a big stress test. and i mean, now you have the freedom to travel again, that's a big relief for many but of course that now the concern is the big covered wave. so the next month will be painful as well. i remember there were quite significant protests against this trick cove. 19 locked down policy. do these protests, have they have they move something? well, you could argue that they have, you know,
8:23 am
brought this opening because at least there was a timely coincidence that just several days after the process started, the authorities opened. but no, the protest basically have stopped also because of the mess of police presence and also the retaliation. i mean there was a lot of repression. people were basically identified and then arrested, or they received warnings not to protest against. basically those protests have stopped. they have stopped for now, but do you think that chinese, the average chinese person feels encouraged that protest can actually move something not just in terms of co 19 policies, but i would say it's really ambivalent. so on the one hand, it was really inspiration to see that many people together outside and they were so brave and people did it. i think that has a huge effect that maybe will not, you know, we'll see not the effect short term, but long term. but on the other hand, there was also the repression. so i think many people also, you know,
8:24 am
have been reminded that they are afraid of the police, but in bass corresponded 5 in french mother reporting. thank you very much for being the italian movie. stop gina law, the bridge that has died at the age of 95 famous for her beauty and charm. she became one of cinemas, most iconic actresses after world war 2. even after she stepped away from acting her career as an artist continued. ah, sheena, the unabridged dog was among the italian actresses who enchanted worldwide movie audiences. in the 19 fifties and sixties, in 1955, she started in beautiful, but dangerous, and some called her the world's most beautiful woman. 8 years earlier, she had only come in 3rd in the miss italy competition. but in front of the film camera, her looks and temperament put the competition to shame. she became known alongside french actor gerard filipe in 1952. in fact, found the tulip,
