Just makes the need even greater for her to explain why these decisions were actually made urgent luck to you say but it could have been a lot harsher. It could have been a lot harsher but thats the reason why its also being described as a sort of lock down light or a partial lockdown schools will remain will remain open day care will remain open target is will remain open shops will remain open but basically Everything Else will have to close for the month of november so bars restaurants james museums theaters and so on and there has been criticism as to why exactly these areas were targeted and not other areas but thats also why the german chancellor explained that since germany at this point cannot track and trace most infections in fact 75 percent of infections then there is a need to come up with these measures then why for example schools were left open Angela Merkel has had that as a clear goal right from the start schools have to remain open as much as possible thats important socially also economically and at the same time the German Government wants to make sure that the businesses under the economy in general are affected as little as possible the chancellor merkel has been seen as. National leader who generally has a grip oh miss pondar me what does this lockdown mean for her politically it is also a big challenge for Angela Merkel politically in her last year as german chancellor theres no doubt that this could also moch legacy especially the colonies badly affected and thats why for her in particular theres also a lot at stake here she wants to make sure that germany comes out of this pandemic in a healthy way as much as possible obviously these affect not only germany but other countries around the world im german and im going to michael wants to make sure that germany still continues if i told possible to fare better comparatively than other countries around the world and thats why the challenge is a very big challenge not only for the contrie in general but also for Angela Merkel in particular if you dont have Political Correspondent on the spot and thank you. Take a look at a few of the developments in this pandemic will start in italy where the Prime Minister just happy conte has announced a new restrictions to slow the spread of the virus shopping malls will be closed on weekends and museums shut a travel between regions will be restricted to fewer people will be allowed on public transport the head of the World Health Organization itself isolating after being in contact with a covered 19 positive person galbraith gazers said he was feeling well and had no symptoms and slovakia tested 3600000 of its citizens of the weekend and just over one percent tested positive the testing was voluntary but anyone who didnt participate was required to go into quarantine. Well today is the last full day of campaigning in one of the most anticipated u. S. Elections for decades a President Donald Trump is having for several states including North Carolina and Wisconsin Democratic rival joe biden and running mate focusing their efforts on the key state of pennsylvania most major polls show biden ahead in critical battleground states during campaigning on sunday President Trump appeared undeterred. The final dance before the big election day on tuesday. U. S. President donald trump addressed frenetic fans in 5 different swing states on sunday with his usual self confidence we are going to win 4 more years in that very beautiful white house. With your vote we will continue to cut your taxes cut regulations and ensure that your products are made raised in grown in the usa. With only a couple of days left to complain trump focused on crucial swing states like michigan and iowa before heading to georgia and florida. Despite the fact that levis in coronavirus cases in the u. S. Supporters packed into the rallies most of them not adhering to social distancing rules or wearing masks. That were very different scenes at joe bidens Campaign Rallies in pennsylvania most supporters stayed in their cars as the democratic candidate welcomed them president dropping terrified of what will happen to the president you know if the people president get that their say if you have your say he doesnt stand a chance biden also blasted trump for dividing the country and thats exactly what trump for trying to do for her to get a divided america. Bridge drawn worries religion gender National Origin its wrong its not who we are biden has a Comfortable Lead in most of the polls but he knows that election day turnout will be crucial in deciding the new president of the United States. Well lots of eyes will be on florida the biggest of the swing states the last 2 elections have seemed way for phone margins between with winners and losers and President Trump is banking on the support of the states law to next community the w. s catalina chinmoy has been to florida to find out how the president S Republican Party has been trying to appeal to cuban americans. They want to see donald trump stay in the white house and theyre determined to deliver florida for him its a must win state for the presidency even at this cales back democrat rally in orlando the triumph orders are far louder. Trump has strong support from a large part of the Latino Community here in florida is despite things which would seem almost designed to put latinos off like the harsh words he has used to describe immigrants im here to find out why the hispanic vote leans more republican here in florida nearly a 3rd of the latino voters in florida have cuban roots including betty got covered and maurice head of latinas for trump in orlando she was 15 when her family fled cuba after losing everything to the government of fidel castro they just not one there the door and they said this is ours now we had lost everything you know we had lost our beautiful home. The ranch the chauffeur but we had a different life and you adopt. Thats why voting is so important to me because its the gift that this country has given me that i didnt have they took away. One of her biggest fears like many other cuban americans is the idea that the system they fled could be adopted in the United States no i dont think joe biden is a socialist or a communist but i do believe the people around him are and they have the same socialist ideas that i lived through in cuba and ive seen in venezuela so yes i do believe that hes surrounded with that and a leader is as good as the people around them being pro trump is slowly becoming something to president s supporters keep to themselves because there can be consequences my plumber is also a devoted trump support i have for you because i have. 0 right or. You have the lesser of the left over i was this is youre not appropriate person wrong word because you dont want to do the job you were charged already provided just to do the job because thats really really good work. Its not just the fear of socialism driving support for trump. Many latino voters are catholic and support the republican position against abortion and it may seem counter intuitive but many also supports trumps hard line on immigration even from latin american countries. Trump tells the truth i dont want other hispanics to come into the u. S. Even if they are from my country peru if they dont pay taxes that is not fair so if more hispanics come and dump a taxes they seal and live off the money they get from the government then im a racist too and i also say get out its not fair that those that come through the board border illegally dana call you already 10 1000. 00 to come here and we dont know where they are they could be rate based here in florida support for President Trump and the republicans steeply emotional if that support is reflected at the ballot box it could decide the election. Chinmoy is now back in washington and joins us from there welcome guy catalina you mentioned in your report that abortion and immigration are big issues with latino communities but why so. While abortion is not illegal in that in america so were talking about a very conservative group a very religious group talking about the immigrants coming from that man america 11 america only 3 countries are for abortion for legal or from allow illegal abortion and these are cuba or wise are really very small countries also in the region and so in the region many and there is abortion as a surgery that killed saliva lives and this is why many people coming from that region still think that they. Have an enemy because he and the democrats they strongly support abortion and this is why one of the reasons they are for trying. A man a leader who would protect life as they say and this is the same for religion do they see. Religion you mentioned that most a lot of them a conflict does not sway them in one direction a lot of them another. Well theyre not only cattle eat but also are christian have a jelly culture and that is a very Important Group because christian evangelicals these are groups are growing in latin america lets talk for example of our brazil votes and i had a large support from brazil this is one of the main groups who helped him become the president of brazil and the christian evangelicals coming from latin america are also very very strong here and this is also a very Important Group for for donald trump yes so what about joe biden and what is he doing to try and talk to to win over this community. Well joe biden talks his narrative is mainly about uniting the country and he also of course who fares to the narrative of donald trump to his harsh words to his suspected way of talking about immigrants from latin america but as we saw also in the report many of them see the narrative of the democrats and after it and as a social is a way of making politics and this is a very Important Group its around 26 percent of eligible voters in florida are from cuba or venezuela and if they think that biden is a socialist system they fled from this of course takes their support for democrats and it underlines their support for for donald trump and you dont get totally neutral more. Well take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world at least 19 people have been killed after a gunman stormed Kabul University during i mean rainy and book fair officials from iran and afghanistan had been expected to attend witnesses say the attackers targeted students taliban have denied responsibility but similar attacks have been carried out by the islamic state. Rescue workers have pulled 2 girls from collapsed buildings in western turkey a 3 year old was rescued nearly 3 days after a strong earthquake hit the region hours later a 14 year old was freighted with hopes of finding other survivors are the quake has killed dozens of people and injured hundreds. I would start johnny depp has lost his libel battle with the british tabloid newspaper that described him as a wife beater after the course in london ruled that the allegations were substantially true the actor had sued the publisher of the son of claims that hed assaulted his exwife. Imprisoned Saudi Arabian womens rights activist giant al hospital has begun a new Hunger Strike to protest against the conditions of detention according to family the 31 year old is one of at least a dozen womens rights activists arrested in 2018 during a crackdown on dissent weeks before saudi arabia lifted its ban on female drivers Rights Groups say she has been subjected to abuse during detention including electric shocks and sexual assault. We can speak with her sister lena our local whos here in berlin welcome to t. W. Im your sisters been in detention for 2 years now what she charged with. Its almost 3 years now so there have been different periods at the beginning she was in prison for 10 months without any charges and only newspaper sensitive dissemination campaign saying that she was a Foreign Agent then after 10 months when she. Started again for the charges and then basically all that well to at. Come light that they accused her of the presence of baiting to International Conferences to talk about the human rights situation in saudi arabia of being a cop into 3 journalists with Amnesty International so read her official charges are activists and and they accuse her of that. And people outside it sounds odd but you can be charged with what sounds like say so in saudi arabia that sort of activity is again so low that the charges dont even state in the legal basis so they just actually its fair and its you know its that everything that has been done from the beginning is eagle no christians or has been respected jane was disappeared basically during the 1st months of her imprisonment enough unofficial prison where she was being tortured by saudi officials one of them is that he was a crown prince and b. S. Is right and man and so everything from the beginning has been made with without any. Legal basis so even the charges basically dont state. The accuser of her activism of course of the crown prince is not here to speak for himself so we dont know whether those obligations of torture or not how did you hear that she had been tortured. So the 1st is its when my parents jane they clearly saw that she was being tortured but again didnt tell them anything she would only say its because you know the air conditioning is too cold or that dish sometimes deprive this keep that because she was. Scared basically of telling them and then after the casualty case and that weve read reports on these unofficial prisons. Basically torture as i said its yes but parents beg jane to tell that to tell them to to it and then visit after visit started telling them that she was being electrocuted sidelines that she was being want to go did logs and she salute them. And they were burnt because of it. Donna why didnt the women in saudi arabia were granted the right to drive just after your sister was to tight. A real change in womens rights or was that is that just sort of table dressing window dressing. I think the only positive reform and the real one is. The rate today for women but this is only because women have fought for it for years and actually the period in which jayne was arrested last week when the campaign was at its highest everyone was asking for it and so lets just say to you couldnt accept anymore that women are not able to drive but theyre saying is now saudi arabia is really becoming a police state there is no place for Civil Society whatsoever and they had to imprison any critique dementing voice and they just took all the merits of these women at have been fighting for their units well thank you so much for joining us.
