cases double each week over the last 3 weeks in spain they vented what's being called a state of alarm that's putting in place a curfew for the next 15 days people not allowed out on the streets from 11 at night until 6 in the morning now politicians there are also wanting to extend a state of emergency in the country for a further 6 months now in italy what we've seen is new rules come in place regarding restaurants and dining out all restaurants are going to have to shut their doors to customers from 6 pm at night only 4 people are allowed at a table while they're allowed to be open they are allowed to continue serving takeout after that vote there is a strict rule against any food consumption or drinking on the streets or in public areas after 6 pm these new rules well there's been pushback against them in both

5:05 am
me suspect that in the end the problem will transform from a cemetery issue into an economic one and that is where the real problem lies. get any bay alabama shame to be talian because the government is carrying out psychological terrorism we traders will be forced to shut down one of. these a quite drastic measures but they are kind of in the middle it's not a real up down it's a look down by harvest here in germany we recently passed 10000 deaths while each one of them is a tragedy in its own right germany has fared considerably better than many of its neighbors in fact almost all of its neighbors despite that performance though there are those that are extremely unhappy with the way the german government has handled the pandemic in fact on sunday we saw protests on the streets here in berlin there were some clashes with police and arrests were made cases of covert 19 of also
5:06 am
being rising in russia as well over 17000 new infections in the last 24 hours no less help in sight it seems as the world continues to try and fight against covert 19 but it's keeping that balance between trying to keep populations healthy and trying to keep economies of float that seeing tensions rise in areas. meanwhile russia is also toughening up cove address spahn says without going into full lock down as of wednesday mask will be compulsory in all public places regional heads have been invited to close cafes and restaurants as well as to ban mass entertainment activities. now let's turn to the u.k. where for more than a week daily new corona virus infections have exceeded $20000.00 among the new restrictions being rolled out in high risk areas is the pubs and bars have to serve meals drinks if they want to stay open and the owners though criticize the rule saying it doesn't even make sense and they're looking for ways to get around it we
5:07 am
spoke to one of those owners who told us things are hard enough as the pandemic has driven away customs we spent so much trial human effort not just learning the rules and not just by even by them but what we did to a pirate in the actually after interest screens and you know like this awful distance in the everything we've done and that we prepared to open we did everything we finally got to all in and by the time we go in to recoup the losses little rules keep coming in the plate and it's driving everyone mired in now all of sudden we had to close it and we lost 60 percent turnover when we had to close at 10 and then we could see that part now and then which will be up to course because . we don't serve food doesn't make any sense this is a this was me i had nothing to lose no it wasn't for having nothing to lose this week it has been happening we've got overwhelmed or and everyone's backing us it's been ridiculous and it's more than just the wind because he's huge. gatherings of
5:08 am
more than 6 both indoors announce are banned in high risk areas residents are also asked to avoid any trouble that's not necessary and only those places that serve substantial meals can remain open and that suspenseful meal that is raising the questions the guidelines define it simply as a main lunchtime or evening meal this no other criteria provided and it's creating confusion both among borrowers under fishel who are unsure how to check compliance so we asked people in manchester what they would define as a substantial meal. there i think today what i've. done for me all i can even without it i would class a sustainable meal at what most people would class as a main meal so for example i'm just hired sausage by a much greater very substantial male to male you might be cost a lot bigger than a lot of people were the differences because people don't know.
5:09 am
because. not some which is not told me oh me. forms of potato me. i don't see how someone just. going to drink is different between just having a drink and. so is beneficial in what ways but not on the whole i don't think so no why should the problem. is not that sets in anybody any more than it was previously previously to service most of the tables we were allowed to go to the bar where you must. have the venue. to go around the one way system one week 2 people traveling from pole to pole thinking constantly in the end. and that's when all the idea of social
5:10 am
distancing is. think about it will be paid for. with election day just around the corner in the u.s. tensions are running high between the opposition camps in new york jewish activists and those who oppose his candidacy came to blows at the weekend and this other one of motorcades waving american flags into the metropolis known for being a democratic stronghold. camp threw rocks and eggs at the convoys at one point the progress. arrests and suits. against the backdrop social media giant facebook's reportedly preparing to ratchet up its content moderation looks at the platforms track record when it comes to preventing violence. now we haven't even had the election yet here in the united states but already concerns are going to its aftermath and the potential for anarky on the streets however don't panic
5:11 am
facebook is on the case we need. to be doing everything that we can to reduce the chances of violence civil unrest in the wake of the selection the social media giant is reported to already have a slew of emergency measures that are being planned facebook has already promised to slow the spread of viral content to lower the standards of what's considered an inflammatory post and get suppressed to tweak the newsfeeds of what users see and furthermore to suppress dangerous posts in such circumstances there is some content that needs to be removed and there is some content that needs to not have access to the facebook tools to create a viral it facebook does not have the best record when it comes to this kind of thing these are the same tools that were deployed in me and mar facebook was accused of inflaming hate speech in the country that was back when forces cracked down on rohingya muslims and it got very ugly.
5:12 am
that. the united nations has actually called out facebook for not stopping the widespread calls for violence and the hate speech that encouraged and in all those who are ready to kill i'm afraid that facebook has now turned into a beast and not what it originally intended it has substantially contributed to the level of acrimony and dissension and conflict if you will within the public the speech is certainly of course a part of that in $28.00 thing facebook was once again called out for inflaming anti muslim riots this time in sri lanka.
5:13 am
facebook has apologized for both circumstances saying that they were wrong and man maher and in sri lanka but now facebook's approach to american politics is being scrutinized facebook decided to suppress the reports about hunter by his shady dealings in ukraine drawing anger and outrage from republicans i think they're a threat to democracy when you can shut down the flow of information when you when you can censor what millions of americans would see that's a threat to democracy they spoke says this was all done in the name of fact checking so with a controversial election and fears of violence in the united states will facebook repeat its pattern of behavior and fanned the flames making things worse or will its newly discovered art of censorship save lives and restore call well they are
5:14 am
set to ship in a big good morning it's up to this for a very long time it's not only censorship at this point this is them letting us know that they are going to decide how the conversation goes they are going to we shouldn't trust our power into them because they're going to protect all of us from mina posts that they i guess believe are going to violence in the aftermath of the election so is it even it goes beyond just the censorship we're used to this is them saying we're going to control the conversation we're going to draw what happens in this country what you see what you hear and what gets out there it's next level one of things about these organizations is they look down on the american people we know they think the american people are stupid violent and they think that they have to protect us from ourselves because we have they have to take this from our own speech of our neighbors our friends our coworkers and the public figures and news organizations that we want to hear from so they're nannying us they think that they're doing some sort of ultimate good and of course anyone who
5:15 am
thinks that they are capable of doing such a good that's classic like. dictator vent ality is that you that you know it's best for everyone else and you will use every tool at your disposal to make sure that your ideal what's best and your and what's appropriate is the only thing that gets out and shaping how people think and speak. nepotism in the race for the white house after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic development only mostly. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by
5:16 am
shaped by. the day or thinks. we are here to ask. welcome back latest polls for the u.s. presidential election put joe biden in front in the race for the white house
5:17 am
despite recently published leaked tiriel that suggest a corruption and complete of interest some saying that the term family is no but jacqueline vigorous just how widespread is nepotism in u.s. politics. no matter who wins the election in november both biden and trump are big names in politics now and their families will continue to cash in on that but they can't help who they're related to right take biden's son hunter if you don't live in a cave you've likely heard that he once served on the board of a ukrainian energy company while his dad was a v.p. now it's not exactly clear how much he pulled in there but reports say somewhere around 50 k. a month or more that point on his resume has cost his dad a never ending headache and he's both admitted that taking the position was probably a mistake and that he likely would have never gotten it if he wasn't biting there's a lot of things that would happen in my life that that if my last name wasn't biden did i make a mistake well maybe in the grand scheme of things yes but that's probably not the only business decision he regrets there's also the time he flew to china with his
5:18 am
then vice president father on air force 2. i which didn't raise any eyebrows at the time biden brought family on foreign trips all the time but that's because back then that no one knew that hunter was forming a chinese private equity fund or that hunter met with a chinese banker who was his partner in the fund during the trip spokesperson says it was a social visit but that scheme was approved by shanghai authorities just days later and $100.00 didn't see any money from that until after his dad was out of office when he did it was over $400000.00 under his business ties to china don't stop there but well let's move on to joe's brother james there's plenty to say about him but if we focus on one thing back in 2011 while joe was leading the obama administration's iraq policy james was executive v.p. of a construction firm that landed a 1500000000 dollars contract to build houses in iraq the company denied that the
5:19 am
vice president's position had anything to do with the deal but what do you make of this deja vu this is his name helps him get in the door but it doesn't help him get business people who have important names tend to get in the easier but it doesn't mean success if he. the name of bomber he would get in the door easier to be fair those contracts did fall through but it's things like that that makes trump jr say things like this the biden family is the most corrupt political family in american history i'm pretty sure that video is what pops up when looking for the meaning of the phrase the pot calling the kettle black because the trump kids are too and just fine control of the trump organization was handed to don jr and his brother eric by their father when he took office due to conflict of interest issues but in 2017 promotional materials from trump tower mumbai were not boasting a connection to quote u.s. space real estate tycoon celebrity and potest donald trump the office of the president can't be used for personal benefit guys so the ads which are said to have been unapproved were pulled trump also put her fashion line into
5:20 am
a temporary trust before taking a role in the white house and yet reports of her company having trademarks fast tracked keep cropping up she rubbed shoulders with xi jinping and the same day several new ones are approved and speaking of her fashion lines right after an appearance on 60 minutes alongside her father after his election it was jewelry company sent out a blast promoting a $10000.00 bracelet from the line she was wearing during the interview it was promised that things that the company were still being sorted out after the election but it wasn't the 1st time mix politics and business she previously used a speech at an r. and c. convention to her clothing line and there's also the fact that while trump was in the midst of an election his kids opened up trump international hotel in d.c. it's an honor to stand before you today and officially welcome to trump international hotel and tower washington d.c. and that has led several foreign dignitaries to come visit the president paying his
5:21 am
kids for their accommodations all this never tism and what looks like selling access to powerful men runs a fine line when it comes to legality but man it's got to be great from their perspectives. well out electioneering donald trump was found to straighten out the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan over the disputed the going to come about creature he spoke at length about it to his supporters on sunday. and the problems that they have and that death and the fighting and everything else will get that straightened out that's going to be i call that it is you want ok we'll get that go back and tell your people. i mean. i know it's easy if you know what you're doing you know what you're doing it's like that if you know what you're doing it's easy. and easy case donald trump said he's talking about something that stretches back more than 3 decades at the disputed regions populated mainly by ethnic armenians which answer by john calls an illegal occupation the fighting escalated in late september now the size of agreed to pause
5:22 am
for studies for the time a new ceasefire being agreed in washington announced on sunday night that just an hour after trump speech in new hampshire. sirens were heard again in the capital of the disputed region despite the new agreement both sides traded accusations immediately of truce file ations we discuss the latest ceasefire with international affairs expert paul robinson who says that trump is just pushing his own interests. saying this is just domestic politics it's . very often the case that politicians will play to diaspora groups and the more organized speak diaspora group the more likely it is that the politicians will pander to them in one way or another and this is really just championing about so
5:23 am
on mean americans are sort of champion type rhetoric. the problem here is that both sides have really pretty irreconcilable redlines the azerbaijani president. has said that is red line is that all of their territory must be returned to it which includes both going to carve out in various as every province is which under control on the other hand the prime minister actually and i said but his red line is that the self-determination of the people are not going to come about must be respected and those 2 guidelines are completely incompatible this is something which is sort of easy enough for both sides to sign but probably without a great deal of intention of keeping to. a palestinian teenager died after allegedly being attacked by israeli soldiers the incident happened in the west bank on sunday when the 18 year old and his friend with chased by troops the victim's father claims the soldiers beat his son to death.
5:24 am
my son in the market was killed in cold blood when he wasn't going to fight his radios or anything his friend's car broke down and he went to help him then the israeli soldiers followed him so i had my son didn't know anything about the area he went to so he was driving around looking for his friend so the soldiers followed him and then started beating him until they killed him without any reason he wasn't carrying a weapon or anything else to fight them will he was a peaceful citizen going to help is right if you. israeli army claims a teenager tripped over and hit his head they argue death was caused by a head injury the soldiers were sent to the area following reports of stones thrown at an army vehicle palestine's health ministry confirms the teenager was severely beaten before arriving in hospital the only other eyewitness was his friend he reportedly fled the scene when the israeli soldiers gave chase a list you know thirty's demanded international probe the family say lost son

5:26 am
i cannot get my head around the sheer irresponsibility and insensitivity in such a fee bro climate of selling items such as the ramblings of the world's biggest killer of jews so the highest bidder and fears neo nazi groups might bid for the documents as a trophy the auction house selling the lot claimed it had taken precautions to ensure the nose didn't fall into the wrong hands. we have made special arrangements for the bias to ensure that we are not selling any of it to write to be radical collectors he will have to hand in written assurances that is for investigative for condemning work investigation by historians analysts richard purposes. the editor of online magazine history central told us he's concerned such documents could spark interest among certain groups this is a particularly difficult time because of the growth of neo nazi ism in germany and we always had a beef we always worried about that since world war 2 ended whether you're from the west of the east everyone's always worried about the reemergence of naziism and we
