reliable in the only way out of this pandemic it may not be popular with everyone but the travel bans. are in place travelers arriving from 7 different nations here to germany and they will be in place until the 17th of february at least economist richard werner told us the travel ban could end up hurting the german economy even more so it is a copy of the u.k. policies as they banned. people from tanzania in africa and brazil and they claim that you know it's because of this new strain which is not really clear is not really well established. and other countries like germany saw that they believe the u.k. statements government statements and they say well then we ban u.k. travelers as well and the same what the u.k. is banning but it doesn't make any sense german business is a very international even locals all family owned businesses tend to be
6:05 pm
international exporters and to get international deals you do need some travel further restrictions would of course further damage the economy. as it's being proposed should really include a very detailed analysis of all the costs and all the benefits well let's look at that 1st before we further consider the proposal. the woman in the u.s. state of virginia has received death threats online and on her phone after revealing her husband supports donald trump mary jane harman posted a photo on facebook of a husband and friends getting ready to go to trump's last rally as president within hours she was bombarded with messages accusing her of being a domestic terrorist and threatening her with physical violence she told us her story. somebody got ahold of that picture off my personal page and i'd imagine somebody that. knows me inside. him and about 5 o'clock that
6:06 pm
night my don't shop started getting some ugly phone calls and it just it just kind of spiral from there some people took that snapshot and started putting the owners of the shop or domestic terrorists and the phone just was ringing in ringing and ringing and i can tell you all day thursday and friday our phone never stopped ringing and the 1st we were inserting it. but when you're hearing things like i hope you're building burns i hope you die i hope you rot in hell. one gentleman actually said he was coming to kill me one person threatened my grandbabies and i can tell you that it was bad enough that law enforcement had to get in and give us them advice on how to keep everybody safe after how many became a target of a hate campaign she appeared on the local t.v. news and that triggered an outpouring of support from across the country. story reflects a c.b.s.
6:07 pm
news poll showing most americans now see that fellow citizens as the country's biggest threat just 8 percent think foreign adversities present a bigger challenge marriage and have and again says the issue boils down to freedom of expression. you can walk through the through the doors of montana and shut up in no matter what your policies are we treat everyone with the same kindness and love and respect everybody gets treated the same way because this is america and we have the right to think differently in to express our views without being made to be a free without someone saying if you don't think the way we think we're going to shut your business down if you don't admit that you're wrong in now you think the way we think we're going to torment you that is it is not the country really grew up in i understand there's people that may not want to come here because they choose not to support a business that believes one way or another and that's the greatest thing
6:08 pm
a better country you can spend your money anywhere that you alluded to. poland has been gripped by 4 nights of street protests against the near total abortions which took effect on wednesday in warsaw thousands marched to the headquarters of the ruling law and justice party defying pandemic restrictions critics say the new nor vonnegut's women's rights i was forced from a country without public support and some are demanding action from the european union. which all the burden falls on the doctors who have to make a very difficult choice they can be brave in saying that no statement changes or the law can continue to do abortions and that case there will be sued by the state and we will help them what is happening inside pretty much it's scary and there was think is that actually the european union and european community doesn't do anything to help us with those i don't want to leave paul and because it's my country and i don't want someone to push me out i'm going to fight for the country's future as long as i have strength and
6:09 pm
a hope that things will change. well then you know also by and terminations you to incurable diseases or risks to the baby's health it means 90 percent of previously legal abortions have now been criminalized and are punishable by prison time the law now only allows terminations due to rape incest or a risk to the mother's life or the amendments were passed by poland's constitutional tribunal back in october but needed 3 months to take effect due to the scale of public opposition it's been condemned by brussels which says the ruling puts women's lives at risk the e.u. accuses the government of heaping pressure on judges to pass the decision and called it a sign of the collapse of the rule of law in the country poland's top court insists it's just asserting the right to life the constitutional court once again affirmed that a person has the right to life from the moment of conception human life has the same value before birth as when
6:10 pm
a person is young and adult or elderly the polish legal system is built on that basis abortion means taking a child's life the eugenic premises for the killing of the unborn violate that constitutional basis we discussed the near total ban on abortions and the e.u.'s response with campaigners and academics. what poland is doing is turning the tide on the barbarism of the rest of the world the rest of europe and saying we're going to value life no matter how into how disabled it may be we're going to probably with some treasure it and look after it to the best of our intention and credit to poland i think poland is going to lead the way on this hopefully the tribe will turn in the rest of europe as well as a result you know i clearly am in a very different position to these gentlemen because i understand the human cost of these laws and the idea that this law is going to stop abortion is ludicrous it's going to start seeing abortions and it's going to star abortions for people who don't have financial means my feeling is that abortion should be

a decision between the pregnant person and a medical professional and everybody else can have whatever views they would like to have around math. you know. so we. should not. try to that will no longer recognize british national overseas passports issued to hong kong residents the u.k. how to earlier the i.d.'s would pave the way for millions of its former colony to move to britain and move beijing blasted as meddling in its internal affairs. this will only end up hurting britain's own interests no forces under whatever
6:12 pm
circumstances can erode the determination of the chinese government and the chinese people to uphold national sovereignty and security safeguard hong kong's prosperity and stability and oppose external intervention although the new rules coming into force this weekend the passport holders can live study and work in the u.k. for 5 years after which they can apply for citizenship the new scheme was heavily backed by a prime minister boris johnson. i'm immensely proud that we have brought in this new route for hong kong british national overseas passports to live work and make their home in the country in doing so we have others our profound ties of history and friendship with the people of hong kong and we have stood up for freedom and autonomy values both the u.k. and hong kong hold dear or the plans announced in july in response to chinese legislation giving beijing greater powers over hong kong subsequent riots over the law led to dozens of arrests in london accused by easing of breaching its pledge in

hong kong's 99 to 700 to maintain liberties and autonomy for 50 years britain argues it has a moral duty to protect its former subjects but it's rational relations analyst victor gao thinks hong kong residents are unlikely to take up the offer of moving to the u.k. . now in terms of the old pond sports now they are talking about giving lots of people they are talking about millions of hong kong people the right to move to london or britain and eventually become u.k. citizens 1st of all i don't think a lot of people in hong kong want to do that why because hong kong is one of the most efficient place to live and to do business and it will continue to do so they compare much better than britain as a country secondly what the british government is doing is to give 2nd class citizenship to the hong kong people because it was they move to hong kong they need
6:14 pm
to live there for 5 years before they have the right to apply for you cases a ship i don't think people really want to do that so i think the british government is really very much double standards and what they are really talking about is very hollow. the mayor of new york city says he wants the state to come clean about the true number of covert deaths in homes more on that after this break .
6:15 pm
stocks bonds commodities currencies everywhere you look in the world you have price discovery is broken and the ability to make markets has been shattered because access to free money is now ubiquitous and virtually instant. welcome back a matter of new york is demanding the truth about cobra deaths in homes often
6:16 pm
official report revealed that this takes didn't show the full picture we have to make sense of this we have to get the full truth and we have to make sure it never ever happens again nothing like this happens again and we have to be honest about the numbers well the report from the new york attorney general concluded that care home deaths between march and november last year were undercounted by as much as 50 percent. consequences for the governor wolf and explains. the nursing home scandal hanging over new york state governor andrew cuomo is head just won't go away a new report from the state's attorney general indicates that deaths in the elderly care homes could actually be 50 percent higher than was originally reported that's up to 13000 lives lost in new york it only tallied up the number who actually died within elderly care facilities not including those who went to the hospital after
6:17 pm
getting infected as the condemning their investigations continue it is imperative that understand why the residents of nursing homes in new york and the sara lee suffered at such an alarming rate well we cannot bring back the individuals who lost to this crisis this report seeks to offer transparency that the public deserves and to spare increased action to protect our most vulnerable residents the report singled out almost decision to send coded patients to elderly care homes it was an attempt to free up hospital spaces that may have cost 4800 new york the lives cuomo is office dismissed the report as an accurate the word on the count implies to remove total fatalities than has been reported this is factually rome the department of health has consistently made clear that on numbers reports based on the place of death those words are of little comfort to saba a local news media just lost both of her in-laws last summer and she couldn't hold back her feelings
6:18 pm
a family was affected and i wasn't seeing the coverage i wasn't seeing the questions being asked of this governor he continued to pass the blame on everyone else democrats and republicans have now lined up to condemn cuomo reports for new york state's handing of crude 19 in nursing homes reveals a profound failure of executive leadership governor cuomo and the new york state department of health cheating our elders as expandable as if their lives were nothing more than the cost of doing business this is shocking and unconscionable but not surprising our governor actually wrote a. book about leadership the middle of the curve the 19 pandemic but as we learned today and as many suspected he never told the whole story at the start of the pandemic mainstream us media poured the love on to governor andrew cuomo for his handling of the pandemic in new york state but now it seems pretty clear that he made a bad decision and the media's darling is facing a full blown scandal. art see new york over get reaction from dave lindorff who's
6:19 pm
the editor of the new site this can't be happening months richard most who is the executive director of the long term care community coalition. a mother in law died of covidien a new jersey nursing home which was doing the same thing where you know the state was shifting people out of hospitals in new jersey into nursing homes and then presenting those nursing homes which are much lower staffed and much less good at infection control than hospitals are and not surprisingly the disease spread rights for them they did but the eliza nursing homes their risk however i don't think that they required nursing homes to take in residence with coping it probably led to more people being taken in and should've gone and but it was very clear the longstanding federal requirements are that nursing homes can only accept only
6:20 pm
accept residents if they have a staff thing and the supplies necessary in the us because the government until very recently would not subsidize. any home care for the elderly the nursing home industry which is mostly for profit has lobbied very intensively with a lot of money to politicians in every state to not provide decent funding for in home care of your elderly parents a lack of accountability when residents are abused even when a state inspector goes in and finds violations the nursing home if i know have any i don't see so that's part of the problem and i think not having a really strong minimum staffing level standards in this country and in new york state also exacerbated the problem and there is almost no financial accountability
6:21 pm
in this country for how you nursing homes use the monies that they receive and that's something that is becoming increasingly clear. the british prime minister is being accused of hypocrisy over his recent visit to scotland officials there are saying you should be abiding by the knock on rules that everyone else has to follow he's on he's been across the story. this trip by the prime minister steadily to save the union going down very badly in a number of causes not least because many of deemed it has not been essential your course in the midst of a very deadly 2nd wave of the coated 19 pandemic chair and our son's mates euclid's is so politicized true north of the border that the welsh 1st minister mark drake for suggests that boris johnson was wrong cite that journey i am only leaving my home or place of work in a genuine image and see and that's because the rules in wales are stay at home work
6:22 pm
from home we are at level 4 'd of a public health emergency and on the whole i think it is preferable for people who make rules that we expect other people to observe to observe them or selves another person within the government ranks to come in for criticism as the home secretary pretty to sell she's been criticised for holding a meeting great session with police officers in oxfordshire again questions being raised as to whether that's really essential this time and ordinary people are being harassed and harangued by police when they do nothing more for example we've seen scenes of people travelling to work or going to the shops to do their sensual shopping and yet being stopped and harassed by police. and about how i would say that i didn't hear. anything on and i already hate islam
6:23 pm
and my mother and i do it right on i'm. getting up to. what i'm still just who didn't really there he wrote this don't anyone you want and get it he told the kurds were you need to be really informed of. all of that will only feed into the notion and the perception amongst people in the country that rule for those in government and one rule for everyone else. a russian billionaire has come forward to contest the claim by opposition activists that that president putin owns an opulent palace by the black sea called the rosenberg says the massive compound is his as s.q. taylor explains. around a week ago a story about a so-called palace apparently belonging to russian president vladimir putin a mugged a number of outrageous details that then came out over 1300000000 dollars in
6:24 pm
a place near the south of the country on the black sea over 17000 square meters a casino with an underground one of the more exciting details 5 golden toilet brush is worth $850.00 now these claims were in a video by a russian opposition figure on it saying a phony who just remind is currently in custody awaiting a court hearing on charges of consistently violating his parole now this 2 hour exposé as he's calling it has been viewed over $100000000.00 times on you tube so it would as worth mentioning that the average watching time is just 8 minutes nevertheless this video was seen at widely as a catalyst for the protests that took place in a number of russian cities this past weekend and that have been organized again for this sunday while one also directly about this tonight any connection saying that no such property has ever belonged or does currently belong to him or any of his
6:25 pm
family members but apparently that's not the end of the story because new information has now come to light the author of which is the popular news outlet on telegram called match now it didn't interview with the russian business mogul. in the interview takes full responsibility for this munch and he says yes it belongs to me i've long had an interest in the hotel business and that's exactly my plan here i want to turn this palace on the coast into a beautiful resort now the interview with comes just a day or 2 off to conduct its own filmed investigation john less actually visiting this controversial site and that what they showed us was very different to what we've previously seen in. in holland 3 d. drone footage there were no armed guards no golden toilet brushes no one to ground hockey ranks it really was
6:26 pm
a whole building site there are also some parts of these claims that have not yet been responded to for example why is there a no fly zone but there's also been some discussion as to whether russia is federal protective service is responsible for security that it denies that some say all the whys so it's very much a case of one side claims this and all the side claims out and both sides claim to have the evidence that supports all humans but i do way it's clear that novell needs a video initially but now sesame much is seeming de bunking over that. spot and lot of conversation here in russia of next door to the current reveals the historical premises of the ongoing ukrainian crisis the current political backdrop as well as its dangerous potential for the world you couldn't follow but. just a few minutes time that's when i will return and often i'll bring you the latest headlines for once again that.
6:27 pm

epidemic it's a. debate is is it fair for transforming our fleets to compete in women's categories and sport. as a society we have decided to categorize sports based on sex i definitely do not think that it's fair for athletes that foreigners pile article males to compete in the women's category. come. on why do we have gendered sport do you have gender categories in sport because we do treat men and women differently. every single beat out. well we all have biological advantages are for each other. are the same means a lot and friends are the step in here. to do it. and
