coming up a top british art gallery admits a vast mule showing a black child with a chain around his neck. and the quick offensive. to remove it all together to put it together on the issue which by angry exchange. colonialism and slavery. just monday morning in moscow hi there my name is kevin glad to be with you with the latest world news update from us so we can stick around to take you through it 1st this germany's ramping up lockdown restrictions ahead of the christmas holidays as the number of new coronavirus cases grows 20000 new cases are registered on

sunday alone the measures come in this week and they're set to stay through till the 2nd week of january. you must know the measures that we took in november have proven insufficient they did allow us to hold the rising numbers temporarily but unfortunately infections are spiking again with a large number of deaths reported we know that the health care system is strained and our aim is to prevent it from being overwhelmed all non-essential retail schools day care headdresses they're all going to be closed because during this new lockdown that's coming in religious services will be able to take place but they'll be no public singing alcohol will be banned from being able to be sold on the streets on fireworks will not be able to be sold for new year's eve as part of these new plans it's not a surprise that we've seen new lockdown measures come in here in germany it is perhaps a surprise that this was agreed to so quickly on sunday between angela merkel and

the leaders of germany 16 states the states had been pretty reticent to give in to the chancellor's requests for stricter lockdown in the past these new measures will be loosened between the 24th and the 26th of december in order to allow some families to come together over the christmas period during those days for adults from 2 different households and as many children under the age of 14 will be allowed to gather however the message from angela merkel is caution. we appeal to families who are inviting relatives to avoid contact for 7 days before doing this so it's a protective week new year's eve and new year's day the normal rules will apply no exceptions or the german chancellor wanted a strict a lockdown back in october however the leaders of germany's 16 states they wanted to keep as much of business open as possible that's why we saw the measures that

were put in place that were called lockdown lite it's pretty clear that this announcement on sunday is an acknowledgement that those. previous plans to keep business open well they've pretty much failed after effect really makes me angry the government could have had a lockdown earlier in a tobar and that business worked for these 2 weeks and sensation of us prepared for the 2nd knock down i've expanded my own line shop and started selling new products there and honestly i was not surprised by these decision alongside chancellor merkel on sunday was finance minister all our shoulders he said that the federal government is making available between $10.12 euro per month in order to help out businesses and individuals forced to close down their economic activities because of these lockdown measures he said that the majority of those in the bundestag were in support of giving out aid to those that need it you know we always need to see

what will happen in cases should last longer and those one has told you that we've got a lot of leeway from the german bundestag to help where is necessary there's been a rise in cases and that is stayed steady across germany but the states of north rhine-westphalia bavaria button voting book worst affected we've also seen the number of people who have died with covert 1000 in germany past 21000 this prompted anglo merkel the leaders of germany 16 states to announce that we will be heading back into a much stricter lockdown until at least the 10th of january next year you know a group here isn't it will burden journalist thomas fast bowler who thinks it won't be easy for authorities to actually monitor these latest restrictions. if you read the regulation i read them 3 or 4 times for christmas you need sort of a law degree to understand really what is allowed and what is forbidden for

christmas but there are a jerk christmas in germany in 2020 it will be a lot of. anger criticism and humorous etc about it. again government wants to restrict is much as possible in context knowing that of course all these measures will not be fully implemented and they will not be able to monitor or. there is a certain despair in the government measures that cannot be denied but it is difficult even with discipline germans to keep 83000000. and under strict control in the situation. truck in this next. queues of trucks have formed on the british border made uncertainty over the failure to reach a divorce agreement with the e.u. suppliers increasingly feared new tariffs from a no deal breck's it with prime minister barak's job something again extending that

deadline to try to reach a compromise i say to all the doctors dude we are going to energize the country we're going to get bricks it done on october 31st but in the meantime get ready with confidence generally the 1st trade on w t o terms if we have to of course the brakes it panics made even worse by the traditional surge this time of year christmas with the government now even warning stores to stockpile food to me to poke reports. sunday's talks were supposed to be final but what we got was another cliffhanger i'm afraid we're still very far apart on some key things and despite the fact that deadlines have been missed over and over we both think that it is responsible at this point in time to go the extra mile so what are the remaining sticking points for one fish specifically the u.k. fishing industry which is tired of having to share its waters with european competitors while abiding by e.u.

quotas which they see as unfair we will until basically for us we just want almost dockside for an ideal for us that's just a slight it won't work so i think it's official life it doesn't work in my day or it will feel as though we've got about 40 years when they will enable to when we can gun fish and catch fish have a drink but i'm not a drink for the last. 46 years old because he told. definitely get the wrong mail order and if and boris johnson has vowed to support them he's even ready to send in navy gunships to chase away european fishing vessels in case of a no deal brags that europe's response calm down. i want to say keep cool just because we're at the end of a negotiation doesn't mean we have to lose our temple and go overboard while the situation in the sea heats up the trucks waiting in line hundreds of them stranded in kent santa might be late this year as the pre-christian is build up has contributed to an already dire situation at the border his elves are stuck with

countless toys in their trucks some of which might not reach the children until easter well barbie dolls might not be a necessity food and medicine certainly are u.k. ministers are even advising stores to start stockpiling food and corporation for no deal which would see prices skyrocket and some products disappearing from shelves altogether the use says if you want tariff free access to our market we need to maintain the same standards for goods labor and the environment but those are all the things the u.k. wants to decide for itself. and then there's the problem of how to resolve disputes which are bound to come up the you lost the power to retaliate if the u.k. doesn't follow the rules with fines and tariffs the u.k. isn't so keen on that and it doesn't want the european court of justice to be the final arbiter we're people saying are great at making progress but i think in the general public you need carrots getting fried out because we course we proceeded to

lead the e.u. in 2016 so you know i did a great many people and strictly surprised with our yes we got it so look i think we have to remember the our iraq threatening to person 16 was all a question or 2 leaving the e.u. it wasn't leaving the e.u. if we had to do so trying somebody ill yes of course this causes it to try and achieve again my skate we're not going to stop a good working relationship with the e.u. what we don't want to do with smith sitting around on the front stoop infer things to be sorted out later on and just move on top of the. rules now. the german capital suffered a massive rise in drug use with entire berlin districts now and the deal is control now sister channel r.t. germany used a hidden camera to capture the disturbing new trend. i

was. intimidated me a well built young man came into my kiosk i told him to get out but he refused to and then she started grabbing me i called the police but they arrived too late so i gave a statement but nothing has changed. it's not that you can see them looking out for a potential victim and if somebody is not paying attention they smash their bag or

wallets. that i moved on with when i go to the station looking for a dealer i tell him what i need he takes a rubbed elbows out of his mouth the standard price for a job was just $20.00 euros i give him the money and we go our separate ways. and the racism campaign is have set their sights on the leading art gallery in britain over a colonial era mural showing an enslaved black child take britain no exception de the work is offensive. the chair of the ethics committee noted that members for unequivocal in their view that the imagery of that work is offensive trusters discuss the need to acknowledge the strength of feeling around in your world and

the harm that imagery has caused. so the mural which covers the wall of a gallery restaurant there is called the expedition in pursuit of red meat says by rex whistler and shows a hunting expedition but it's controversial characters in the piece include a captured black boy being led with a chain around his neck campaigners want the mural removed all the restaurant close to the gallery now says it is considering how best to respond were taken this time to consult internally and externally on the future of the room and the mural and will keep the public informed of future plans it's polarized opinion between those who want to be able to stir those who call it an unacceptable carry over from britain's colonial past we put it up for debate. we need to debate and leave these things where they are so people can understand history and understand how far we have drawn from these images they may now from defensive well

know the current. situation if you're just going to hide things away and you never going to educate people is passive which is also passive blackish to it. what you looking out is deeply offensive placed in one of the most prodigious criticism or is in a country post black lives matter that the whole paradigm shift in thinking is that what was formerly acceptable used to be acceptable is now no longer except i think that you can move the removal rope to some sort of the museum of colonialism or british shaman you can provide the education context that. to have the super soft slavery while you retain your 45 grok in the premier arts establishment of the country it can be moved and it can be praised the proper educational context but he said he not in

a public space in the pretty prestigious art gallery or just a creep saying it's british colonialism is not to mislead an essentially folse because you misleading people of black history it earned because you are b.l.m. is a left wing matches political party so which should go to your party now so the actual movement for black lives is lost its momentum as being any credibility for less and u.k. people about the entire history of the slave but don't hide the facts black african tribes were complicit in it well before europeans got there and it wasn't just british colonialism can we just be absolutely clear because you no longer be used to be misled that chattel slave chance atlantic child. mostly wasn't a periodic in slaven of warring tribes that could be released in the negotiation between different villages it was the most brutal long lasting exploitation

probably one of the greatest crimes in cuban history solar 50000000 africans exported from west africa and the interior what we will to do is just create history away so that our friends out on the net chinese are not intrinsically separate and i want to hide anything away i want to put it into history in a museum of colonialism and slavery that puts it in the proper context and you my friend would be the 1st customer to get educated because your ignorance is so profound as to be absolutely shocking. the conversation went on now next around the world in brief for some more of the headlines this monday this 1st in new york new york police have shot dead a man who fired at them during a christmas choir show church officers fired 15 rounds into the shoot it was heard shouting kill me the man was rushed to hospital but he died of his injuries and no other casualties have been reported in authorities are still investigating what his motives could have been. bad weather here check this flights have been canceled and

roads blocked in the city of norilsk a cold place at the best of times above the arctic circle in central russia it's all because now of massive snow places you can see there are reports of cars being buried in the storm visibility is heavily restricted. police blocked thousands of protesters from marching to the home of the head of poland's ruling law and justice party demonstrators chanted slogans demanding the overthrow of the government over further tightening of already restrictive abortion laws they claim it's part of a wider of thora tarion push by officials. some till half past 10 moscow time good morning coming up if you can stick around with made morocco becomes the 4th arab nation to normalize ties with israel but we ask at what price more and how the gift given to morocco in return could destabilize the entire region.

is your media a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safer. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. what is true. is. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or inmate in the shallow. kinds of financial. money laundering 1st to visit the 3 different.

is a good start well we have our 3 banks all set up something in your something in america something over the cayman islands it will pull these banks are complicit in their tough talk. to do some serious. ok let's see how we did well we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy beautiful jewelry. for max you know what money laundering is highly. i get morning war is brewing in the western sahara now after the u.s. has agreed to recognize the disputed territory as part of morocco in return for about normalizing ties with israel but the recognition that threatens to break

a 30 year ceasefire with pro independence supporters in the western sahara warning they have now got very little choice other than to fight back here's our senior correspondent. christmas will well havoc i suppose especially good for israel this year see santa clause that doesn't work donald trump who has become the israeli equivalent of santa claus has managed to convince morocco to establish diplomatic ties with israel and when i say convenes what i mean is bribe the united states believes that an independent serai state is not a realistic option for resolving the conflict in their genuine autonomy under american sovereignty is the only feasible solution western sahara is the world's largest inhabited territory that hasn't managed to achieve self governance largely because it keeps getting invaded the little people of us are always have had a rough time of it for the past few centuries 1st that was resistance to spanish

colonialism then it was invaded by morocco and mauritania who in the locals fought and author all this struggle and all this bloodshed for independence the entire area as far as the united states is concerned has been handed over to morocco by donald trump you see now why the locals are somewhat meath to the polish sorry and serai government condemn in the strongest terms the fact that outgoing american president donald trump attributes to morocco something which does not belong to morocco the policies are you front is the un recognized representative body of the serai people they really made a name for themselves by potentially saving thousands of lives in the 1970s when morocco literally bombed serai refugee camps with napalm then bombed long convoys of refugees as they fled those camps for algeria where hundreds of thousands of

them now live in refugee camps and often all that killing the atrocities the terror serai have just been told to suck it up because they're now part of morocco because . that it's good for israel. since the stance of the arab israeli conflict we've been seeing in the observing peace in exchange for peace peace in exchange for security but today we see the consolidation of one occupation in exchange for the consolidation of another. as a whole human. race from within the occupied region denounced this reckless statement of president trump which does not necessarily reflect use foreign policy washington's sheer cynicism and disregard for serai is right to self-determination aside this is all but going to cause more bloodshed russia spain and palestine have already condemned the announcement and the ceasefire that has held for 30 years is

already breaking down you can't blame just trumpet this morocco has been a historical ally of the united states and even a bomber wanted the serai is to live under a nation they want no part of morocco's autonomy plan is serious realistic and credible he represents a potential approach to consensus for the aspirations of the people in the western sahara to run their own affairs in peace in dignity while it is fascinating to watch how far donald trump will go to please israel it is causing a lot of wear and tear for the old moral compass trading away half a 1000000 people's right to rule themselves and telling them to live under a hostile state where an unelected king calls all the shots but if you're in israel happy hanukkah enjoy this latest little present that father trump has left you on top of the power of previous gifts. goes a health workers

a play with the israeli blockade for severe shortages of coronavirus testing kits and other essential equipment as the number of covert cases continues to rise there . where these ladies see him posing as a stripper has a very bad effect on the court on the violence the poverty which is prevailing is one of the main cause if it's of the siege on gaza strip and the closure of the borders of course which is preventing medical stops and hateful fresheners from outside to come in to help us in gaza strip while we have the israeli continuous illegal the blockade we have the coronavirus with. health system and very difficult. conditions while israel says that it is providing masks equipment and doctors to gaza or it's also reportedly getting ready to provide vaccines to the area in a bid to stop the rising number of cases gaza closed all stores except pharmacies at the weekend young claves one of the most densely populated territories in the

world making it really hard then to enforce social distancing a local code survivor highlighted the severity of the problem there all had that is stands at a time i really hope the ministry of health starts making more and more fuel to visits to those hospitals and evaluates the current health situation we are living in and sees the disasters happening in our hospitals people's awareness in hospitals doesn't go beyond 40 percent by awareness and in wearing a mask gloves and social distancing none of them follow these rules i hope people do realize that this virus truly exists in here and it causes many deaths around the world and the economies of many countries collapse because of it some people still believe that there is no such thing as the corona virus and it's a trick made by the israelis devised exists and it kills. yes certainly doesn't. take tea with the on the move had to or up if you get a minute head to your ups store rather a search for ati reporting from moscow for now though kevin i would signing off and
