Corona virus infections Bars Restaurants Hotels and cinemas will close next monday but schools and shops will stay open the government is earmarking up to 10000000000 euros in Financial Support to help businesses that will be hit by this 2nd shutdown the deserted streets of the spring are about to become all too familiar again in germany for 4 weeks from november 2nd the entire country will be under a partial lockdown faced with another record high of daily coronavirus cases on wednesday chancellor Angela Merkel in the country 16 state premiers quickly found consensus theres a. Lot of people here today is a difficult day for policymakers i have to emphasize that because i know how much were asking of people but we have to find a way to ensure that we dont fall into a National Health emergency but at the same time to the greatest extent possible and sure that the economy stays up right. After he leaves office. With 3 courses of new cases now untraceable the measures of far reaching cultural and Leisure Facilities as well as bars and restaurants will close with the exception of takeout social contact in public will also be limited to just 2 households with a maximum of 10 people schools and daycare however will remain open with new hygiene protocols ahead of wednesdays announcement concerns about the economic effects of a 2nd shutdown were on everyones minds not least of all the thousands of protesters from germanys Hospitality Industry who demonstrated against the closures in central berlin. Let me have a few. Event bombs would be dramatic because then wed have nothing already the cancellations are rolling in if even small events like birthdays until hours then we really have nothing imagine and say to you there are hardly any artists left because theyve had to find another job that will have an emergency in the culture sector. We need help were not allowed to work were hoping for some positive talks with the government. Finance minister shots however has prepared a 10000000000 euro coronavirus aid package to compensate businesses hit by the stricter measures the height now is to flatten the curve before the Holiday Season but it will be a costly feat both for the economy and society. Or lets go to our Political Correspondent hans brought hes on the story for his genine good evening to you so talk to me about how strict these measures are going to be that take effect starting on monday. Well if you look at the letter of it you have to say that that doesnt appear terribly strict there is no cook few there are very few prohibit sions not the entire economy is being shot on people arent being confined to the us but at the same time people are restricted from meeting in groups of larger than 10 people they are urged to stay at home and to work at home and everything that has to do with with recreation Recreational Activities from sports to. Fun parks to restaurants to theatres and operas all of that is being shot tom so it is an attempt to make people say at home they are urged to stay at home they are not to leave their homes not to go travelling not to meet people and theres thats absolutely necessary and at the same time however schools and Daycare Centers are being kept open so its a balancing act that is being attempted here. And an attempt also to keep the economy going because apart from you know restaurants and so on most of the economy will continue factories for instance are not being closed on a balancing act and an attempt to control things november will be a critical month in germany and the hundreds you know internationally germany tracking tracing system has been praised as being one of the best in the world and today the chancellor said that 75 percent of contacts can no longer be traced back what has happened. Yes indeed the chains of infection can no longer be broken can no longer be interrupted what happened simply is that the authorities were overwhelmed by the number of cases that have been found in recent weeks and we have to remember that 2 weeks ago under the medical had another meeting had a previous meeting with the 16 premiers of the various regions and after that meeting she went public saying that she felt the measures that have been decided then were not strict enough and in fact she was proven right in the last 2 weeks the number of infections have risen risen exponentially the situation has become a lot more serious and there are concerns that german hospitals could be of a wound within 2 or 3 weeks that is why the emergency brake has been pulled now do you think were going to see much pushback especially from businesses you know restaurants for example that have to shut down in the or is indeed there have been protests as weve seen in that report we just saw but they are also being compensated with 10000000000 euro as which are being paid out to companies that are affected by this at the same time there is a lot of political pushback already put it ical parties in opposition are saying that parliament is not being involved enough that these restrictions are too damaging for the economy and they are likely to be court cases they are going to be challenges and court against some of these measures and its quite possible that the courts are going to cancel some of these measures im going to now call this taking the fairly seriously shes going to address the German Parliament tomorrow to try and explain her thinking behind this and why these measures and according to her on necessary are corresponded with the latest tonight here in berlin and thank you. Well it is not only germany in france president emmanuel microloan has Just Announced a 2nd lockdown to help curb the spread of the corona virus and it is a stricter one then the one in germany now called announced on television that all shops bars and restaurants will have to shut beginning this friday movement between french regions will also no longer be possible schools however will stay in france is currently reporting about 50000. 00 new cases a day with over 500 deaths recorded just on tuesday. Our correspondent lisa lewis she is monitoring events for us she was watching the dress for us tonight in paris good evening to you lisa what else did the french president have to say. Well as you said this lockdown is stricter than in germany but its less strict and than earlier this year prison in my class said you know up until the last moment we thought we could actually prevented but over the past 2 weeks we have been overwhelmed with the number of cases the latest figure of daily infection cases that have been detected is about 70000 and the government said the only way to get through this is indeed another lockdown the lockdown is less strict than early as i said specially because schools are going to be stay are going to stay open and the government will revisit the measures in about 2 weeks if the situation improves then the government has pledged to maybe loosen some restrictions specially for the Retail Sector which is already obviously complaining about the fact that i might lose money or might actually have to close lots of shops but for now the government is saying really need to stand together be united because this is the only way to prevent from having prevent us from having about 400000. 00 deaths within a few months if we dont lock down the country yeah i mean the numbers are already flight new theyve been increasing on tuesday french reported over 500 deaths the measure though this lockdown is it strict enough and is it coming too late. Well there is a discussion about the fact if it is a bit late you know when the french went back to school right bed to rock after the Summer Holidays actually almost no restrictions were in place and over the past few weeks and months we have then seen increasingly more and more measures the government apparently was at the belief that these measures would be enough such as for example closing the closing of bars and limiting restaurants to certain hours and then curfews in certain places in france but now turns out that these measures havent been enough and that some as you say yet some Opposition Forces are now saying the government should have prepared better for the 2nd wave the government obviously says we couldnt prepare better because it was also its also overwhelming it wasnt actually possible to predict what was going to happen. With the latest on the situation in france a new walk down taking effect this friday thank you lisa. The u. S.

But whats in the hearts of tanzanians may not matter according to the opposition. They say there have been widespread irregularities with voters in some cases being given multiple votes like these to then stuff in ballot boxes prior to the election the opposition said there was a pattern of suppressing bad news and press freedoms and brutalizing rival Political Parties the economy is being hate hard by the pandemic but president michel food the country has conquered the virus through prayer.

By his or by john has accused armenia of killing at least 21 people and wounding scores more in shelling near the disputed region of Nagorno Karabakh our media has denied carrying out the attack in the city of barca it has also accused by johnny forces of carrying out deadly attacks on civilian areas 3 separate attempts at a ceasefire have so far failed. All right lets bring in now our correspondent julia hunch she is in eyes or by john tonight good evening to you julia you have been at the side of the a tank today what have you seen what can you tell us. Weve witnessed some very chaotic and disturbing scenes there in barda today when we arrived the dad and the severely injured had already been taken to hospital but we saw quite a number of ambulances ambulances rushing past as as we approached the town center now at the site of the attack we saw several buildings completely destroyed and burned out cars one of the buildings for example used to be a bar chess shop another one a store selling clothing so clearly locations and places where civilians would go i spoke to one man who witnessed the attack when it happened to god injured himself he is what he told me for stuff. Thats when the rocket hits there were explosions this is where i was standing next to my car but i didnt move an inch because i was afraid i could be hit by shrapnel i sort of the cars were burning in such a shock. So be it about it. Now i should mention that barda is a town some 20 kilometers from the front line in a corner and it used to be considered to be relatively safe there we have been filming there in the past days speaking to people to refugees people from then it is very close to the front line who actually fled to barda seeking safety there are emergency shelters now this attack today i think shows that this conflict can escalate any time and into any direction and that the fighting here has 70 become part of every day life here for people not only here but also on the other side of the front line. By johnny. Media for the attack they claim that theyve used. Media denying the attack. Well its nearly impossible to independently verify the claims that are coming from baku or hear of on right now because this is a war these 2 countries are at war its not just a conflict on the battlefield its also an information war and a war of words now the allegations here are particularly how the azerbaijan says armenia has been using Armenian Forces have been using socalled smirch missiles Cluster Munition which is a particularly devastating and deadly type of weapon banned by many countries around the world now armenia has also level similar allegations against azerbaijan accusing them of having use this kind of a weapon against residential areas and civilian targets as i said its not possible at the time when such an attack happens to understand what was fired only from where it exactly was fired but such an attack makes any attempt at a peaceful diplomatic solution to this conflict even more elusive. To this conflict between. Media do you think you. The vatican has extended a deal with china that calls for b. Gene to officially recognize the popes authority to appoint catholic bishops it renewed for another 2 years a Historic Deal that ended a long running power struggle over the right to appoint bishops in china d. W. Spoke to the former bishop of hong kong hes concerned about the churches in gage met with china china and the fact he came recently renewed a secretive agreement signed 2 years ago it allows both beijing and the holy c. S. A. And appointing bishops in china from Hong Kong BishopCardinal Joseph sena q. C. Secretary of state Cardinal Parlin off betraying the 12000000 catholic populations to appease the communist regime they always say a bad agreement is better than no agreement i can other this in a bad agreement means. Women which is immoral which is against our faith how can it be better than the agreement incredible so is it b b betrayal and i suspect that the police wants to. Have these. People much you do nation. But thats very bad because thats a political thing is not religious we have religion so we 1st of all its our faith. Caught in a sense journey to rome earlier this month in hopes to meet the pope but in saying he is why reached at the underground charge in china will face even more power secure fashion a state run church again to the chatham a c. From this secret agreement the 2 years since a dream and the things went the wrong wrong very wrong. Because. The end of around received no support from the vatican the older bishops die and. The holy sea dont give new bishops to the underground they give many bishops to the church and now that individual church all the bishops are legitimate. Youve made a really good bed but they are still the bad people are there. And so the end of ground fear abandon betray because they are those people to the old quality of the pope who cant in a son was born in shanghai 88 guess ago he came to hong kong in 1948 just before the communists took power in china he sings to phatic and is on the wrong track of oss polity the a peace man policy to. The Pope John Paul the 2nd and the Pope Benedict they had very different experience they lived and. Then communism. From russia and the pope comes from south america is and a standard that the pope francis had sympathy for the communist because the communists in the south america are good people they come out to defend the poor people and the. Military government but now china is and of the communist the commies are the prosecutor. Of politic. Actually it was a failure in europe but now they use a method for well for china so it was a disaster hes been an outspoken critic of the communist regime over the years thats to put him in rare son of the National Security law imposed by beijing but he refused to remain silent i would be a liar you. Say you are not already everybody is awarded to lose is a freedom. But thats ok because. You see we believe in god. When god gives you a duty he he is going to give you also the strain to do that you ok.
