To its limits its also introducing a nighttime curfew for parents and 8 other cities. Thailands government to balance large gatherings as prodemocracy protests against steam in the capital bangkok a group had to carry out such as count outside the Prime Ministers Office. I mean if i must come across europe the number of new Coronavirus Infection is surging and so have a number of new restrictions to stop that search german chancellor Angela Merkel has outlined new measures agreed as a marathon meeting in berlin the aim is to slow the spread of the virus in urban hotspots negative ones that if the rapid rise in cases is not stopped the situation wont end well she also peel to young people to put that passing on hold for now. Votes and im convinced that the actions we take and do not take in the coming days and weeks will be decisive in answering the question of how we will get back. To me home. We are seeing a rise in the rate of infections a steep rise and there is a very high rate of infection in certain regions of germany. In 15 w. Political correspondent kate brady outline the measures that will now be implemented at well there were a number of new measures announced by the chancellor this evening a mainly as i heard thats about limiting the contact between people so what well see come into play depends on whether certain cities or regions overstep the threshold for these new measures to kick in so anywhere for example a city or region that reports more than 35 new cases per 100000 people in the last 7 days in those places people will only be able to have a maximum of 15 guests as a private celebration this has been a big issue in germany actually because a lot of the new cases have been traced back to celebrations as well on top of that for those same figures mask will also be required in more places as well but one of the other big new measures to come in as well if a city or region reports more than 50 new cases per 100000 people in the last 7 days then there will be a curfew imposed on bars and restaurants from 11 pm thats something that weve already seen in various cities around germany including here in berlin thats been in place now since saturday so well have to see in the coming days if not the next couple of weeks exactly what effect these new measures have but of course germany will be watching closely as well to see exactly whats going on in neighboring countries as well because of course whats happening right now in france is exactly what germany desperately wants to avoid. And then france president corps has reimposed Public Health state of emergency saying france is in quote a worrying situation when it comes to the corona Virus Outbreak and the televised interview the president announced that paris and 8 other cities will now have a 9 pm curfew he stressed that the virus isnt out of control but warned that the Health System has little Spare Capacity it comes as french authorities reported over 20000 new Coronavirus Infections for the 3rd time in a week the president says Everybody Needs to do their part to successfully contain the virus. We have not lost control we are in a situation which is worrying and which means we shouldnt remain inactive but we shouldnt panic people have been. We are really learning what it means to be a nation that if we had slowly got used to being a society of free individuals we are a nation of citizens who stand side by side we cannot get through this if everyone doesnt play their part so im saying very clearly the message i came to convey this evening i need every one of you we need each of us moves of wus one lives on this world he w. Correspondent who is send this update from paris on what the decision to reinstate a nation like emergency means for france. Well that actually just means that the government or local governments can impose local or nationwide lockdowns now thats obviously something that france just as germany wants to prevent from happening thats why the government has now decided to impose that curfew in several cities just like here in paris so if i want to go out after 9 oclock at night i need to have a good the right reason as the president put it the government is also recommending for people to only meet up with about 6 people to you know if they meet at home or in the street they should limit their circle of friends to 6 people but the government has said in the past that they cant really impose that measure measure its a recommendation but thats really the president really wanted to appeal to the common sense of the people here to limit the spread of the virus and the curfews are part of that measure really lets turn now to some of the other stories making news around the world the vatican has opened its 1st unknown trial against clergy accused of sex abuse one priest is accused of molesting an altar boy in the vaticans use seminar seminary between 27 and 2012 another priest is accused of covering up the crimes the vatican started investigating only after the victim went public in 2017.

And for more on this story and the process every scene of this movement or any of that were seeing in nigeria im joined by tony let it go at the table with me tom its good to see you so lets just see him for gerry are they at a person hes quite right its been days at the protests that have been coming out but just tell us more about how this protest has been coordinated it started as a movement on social media and now people on the streets yes it did start on social media thats how 1st of all the news about these incidents of brutality Police Brutality was spread anyway as a video going viral people then beginning to tell their own personal stories and people sort of rallied around each other using the internet using twitter and other forms of social media around the hash tag and saws and this is hash tag has been there for a few years but now i think this latest video i think was on the 3rd of october when it when it started being shed and it just thought peoples emotions and they decided they were going to come out to the streets theyve been crowd sourcing resources lets take a look at some tweets that just show a bit more of the of of what theyve been doing. In terms of getting themselves together this tweet says people from our 2 lists over 600 nigerian lawyers have volunteered to be stand by for arrested protesters so were seeing peoples expertise being brought together by lets go to another tweet that says. That to and Police Brutality victims of Police Brutality in nigeria deserve to be properly acknowledged and compensated if you know or have been a victim of Police Brutality filiform and theres a link there here thats another element of trying to bring people together and let people tell their stories one final one quickly is. So the families coalitions bitcoin account has already has over 1000000. 00 in donations already thats just under 3000. 00 theyve raised a lot of money 10. 00. Thousands of dollars at the moment to keep this movement going ok so its effectively a coordinated as well its a but whos leading the protesters thats the interesting thing about this there doesnt appear to be a leader or a group most kinds of protests of this nature in nigeria have been backed by a Political Party or a union or Civil Society this one has been organic and its people coming together they have acknowledged the support theyve got from some of these prominent activist but they insist they dont want a leader but we see the margins for example of women taking leadership you see individuals in certain roles right but overall this seems to be a very open with an ok and one other thing tony is the nature of these demonstrations in other countries in the world where people have been protesting something that Police Brutality weve seen violence right these protests violence people burning things all sort not the case with these protests no weve not seen you know the anarky or vandalism or looting that hasnt been a staple of this weve seen in fact cases where police have opened fire on people but there hasnt been the kind of violent response from these groups for example hitting back at the police its generally have been a few isolated incident right overall this tends to have been peaceful and thats part of the message these young people are trying to get across that they have a point they kept trying to get and the government has to listen to them right tell us about these young people this demographic i mean we saw a figure there this is of course is a tech savvy people take it how to effectively use the tools that are available to them just give us a sense of who this demographic is most of the people who prominence in this are born in the in the ninetys and on words these are people who are young and of a different generation who have been accused of being ignorant of nigerian history and i suppose maybe thats whats worked for them because they dont have the same hand ups that older generations have they dont have the fear of the government they dont have a kind of deference to older people into authority that other generations have not. Why maybe thisll feel as on they come up the way they do theyre not reliant on traditional media they go out on social media and do the work themselves theres a case where police accused protesters of shooting at Police Officers and these people came out quickly and showed video to say no no your Police Officers were the ones who fired while widely wildly and this is how Police Officers themselves got injured so theyre doing very few cation against misinformation and thats what sets them apart from. Other groups in the past the would unprecedented gets overused and times but i think it does definitely apply in this case ok and well leave it there tony thank you so much for that.

Its only 3 weeks away the outcome of the u. S. President ial election will have a profound impact on the american and the worlds economy u. S. G. D. P. Has grown over all during President Trumps 4 years in office this year and of course but that trend upwards as were about to see because of the coronavirus pandemic experts are expecting the u. S. Economy to slump by 4 percent in 2020 lets also take a look at the job situation during trumps presidency unemployment fell gradually over the 1st 3 years after President Trump took office that was in january of 2017 so we can look at 2017201820 extension 19 here surly dropping but again credit hours put paid to that a drop of unemployment of 7. 9 percent in america during september again in large part a result of the Coronavirus Crisis so what can be expected if donald trump secures a 2nd term as u. S. President what would Joe Bidens America look like when i speak to mickey levy chief economist for the u. S. And asia Capital Markets which has just published a report into the likely consequences of the election thanks a lot for joining us dr levy just how different are the approaches of trump and biden when it comes to the economy. Well theyre really dramatically different trump if reelected would just pursue what hes been pursuing that is higher spending higher deficits cant hold on hold the line on taxes further deregulation and of course being tough on china and erratic and unpredictable. Biden quite different. He proposes the most expansive spending increases and tax increases in the last 50 years in the u. S. And and reregulation and so he really proposed Different Things to Critical Issues we have to keep in mind. Firstly what happens in the senate will determine the extent to which biden can we can propose what hes campaigned on and secondly will biden tone back what he proposes and into a. More scaled back policy i think president some might have lights who have used the economy more to his advantage during this election by trying to virus as hes made it a bit more difficult we were just looking at the figures how much credit can president take for the 3 years of Economic Health that he see. Well i think you know when you cut through the personality and the erratic behavior he does deserve some benefit for the deregulatory environment that Business Investment and in the u. S. Prior to the pandemic had the lowest Unemployment Rate in 50 years so i thought well Overall Economic performance its not an 8 plus but its a its a service pretty solid. Yet pretty solid the big negative of course was was trumped his his his terror for his trade wars with china just created so much uncertainty for the world and dampened global trade yeah Foreign Policy is going to be a big difference between these 2 candidates as well here in europe for example who is going to be hoping is elected to the white house who. Who who do i expect i mean i expect biden will get elected. Very good here and you know nothing is here the European Union the e. U. More likely to want to see in the white house in terms of their Foreign Policy its all i think definitively they they would love for trump to lose and almost anybody to get in biden would if elected we reengage with europe and other allies and readmission you know diplomacy in contrast to President Trump who has you know aggressively been combative with his traditional allies so mickey levy thank you very much for giving us your insights the u. S. Chief economist at back to back Capital Markets thanks for joining us and here. Well thats life after the us election but lets look at the here and now and financial correspondent correspondent in new york quarter yen what impact is the election which is on its way fast having on markets right now. And by the way im standing in front of a bank of America Branch they came out was earnings on wednesday not so stellar the stock down by a good 5 percent but other than that actually wall street has been pretty stable and quite solid in the past couple of weeks clearly what wall street does not want is unclear pictures to a contested election that would be probably the worst outcome for the Election Center so we will see the clearer this picture the better for wall street at this point if wall street really has a favorite its tough to say on one end side donald trump has been pretty good was lower taxes and less regulation but this fierce just im heard also connected was a lot of unravel and on the other side what wall street would not have to fear from joe biden is surtitles regulation on the Financial Markets and hes been senator for delaware for decades so he has not been necessarily tough on wall street and banks on the other side texas will probably increase there was an interesting survey out that probably the ultra wealthy would shift hundreds of billions of dollars to their kids before joe biden would get elected president because it would pretty likely increase texas like a state texas for example. In new york thanks for bringing us up to date.
