Restrictions that were put in place are actually having the desired effect or whether authorities have to tweak them and maybe increase them as well in the next few days. There are Big Questions as to whether this is being effective in particular, because germany continues to record very high numbers of new cases over 20000, for example, in the last 24 hours. And that is something that is obviously concerning for thors at the same time. There is a big concern among german hospitals. Many saying that the situation is even worse now than what it was in april, for example, during the 1st wave of the pandemic. So yes, there may be some positive signs, but the situation remains very serious and thats something the German Authorities have been very clear when they talk to the friends about these kinds of things. Christmas is only 6 weeks away and no government wants to go down in history as the one that canceled it, untold millions of people. They can go home and see their families. So tough and measures on the cards. I very much doubt that they will console christmas, but German Authorities have indeed indicated that most probably restrictions will be there. Now its a big question whether a partial lockdown will be there. But restrictions might be there a government commission, for example, a few weeks ago actually suggested people here in germany should celebrate christmas in shifts. So more than once and with fewer people, i dont know if germans will actually follow that suggestion. But German Authorities are of the thinking now specifically, what can be done in the next few weeks when the christmas celebrations actually start. And what has to be done to make sure that people in some way or another can celebrate while at the same time, maintaining the necessary precautions were told. And thank you for that. Thomas is far well turkey is one of many countries seeing a big increase in new infections and its now banned smoking in Public Places as another measure against infection. But despite pressure to follow the rules, lots of people have been letting their guard down and opposition politicians are accusing the government of hiding the true scale of the outbreak. The w correspondent, duty ahau, reports from the city of 16000000. 00 in which the corona virus is spreading. And one of the teams that are fighting to stop it was the monster google image on is a dentist. At least she was until the pandemic started. Shes been a contact traces since march 1 of around 35000 in turkey. Younis, surely a book seen from here the size of the city kelly scary. And i sometimes wonder where this endemic is headed. But as a doctor, i have a responsibility. I try to think positively and knowing that i help people this would motivates me and keeps me going. Tracing team manages around 10 house calls a day. They work in shifts almost around the clock. The goal is always the same. Track down test and isolate those who have been exposed to someone with 19 and all of this as quickly as possible. Googles 1st case today is the collect says all family. The mother recently tested positive. Now the father has symptoms to put you call clear. If the test is positive, gergen will also trying to trace his contacts. The whole family has to stay at home for the next 14 days. After each visit, protective clothing has to be changed. Job is time consuming and strenuous, but its worth it. She says. Few country the expound at their Contact Tracing capacity to the extent turkey did these teams with key to slowing the spread of the virus in Spring Health officials say, but now like elsewhere in europe, the number off infections here is on the rise again as in many other countries, peoples vigilance here has slackened in a recent survey. More than half of the respondents in turkey said the coronavirus does not affect a worry them. And critics also blame the government for this lack of concern. Because the Health Ministry no longer reports the number of new infections every day, but only the number of symptomatic patients john uncuffed, undiano of the opposition c. H. P. Says the government is hiding. The real scope of the pandemic is thought so slim. Here in istanbul alone, the number of cases is 20 times higher than the tally from the ministry of health from. Im saying this with regret, but the figures and information weve given are not correct. Were going to go google an image on his on her next house call. She does not want to take part in political discussions. She knows the debate about the numbers, but doesnt want to get involved. That more and more people disregard. The coronavirus rules frustrates her. Been which is surely good. It makes me sad. We are putting so much effort into this. But whats the point, if so many act as if nothing can happen to them . And if this doesnt change, we wont see an end to this pandemic sticky because google hopes that she will soon be able to work as a dentist stick. But she also knows that her new job will be needed for quite a while as hear more from dr. Margaret harris, who speaks for the world health organization, she joins us from geneva. Welcome back to day w. Dr. Harris Contact Tracing does seem to be the very heart of the fight against this pandemic. But as weve just seen, contact traces, not only in turkey but elsewhere where they seem to be overwhelmed. So is the answer simply so used lock down and throw more bodies at the job. Knowing its not a lot. I do useful to bring your numbers. But as you say, context tracing is absolutely fundamental and strengthening your Contact Tracing wherever you are. Is that something that we all must do and continue to do, i think, you know, your reporting made a very quick point. I think it was actually the contect answer. So this isnt joe that we need to hire, even in times when things seem fine, we forgot about this is critical, not just to find everybody who is infected, but to find those contacts and also support those contacts. To go into quarantine and stay in the inquiring team for the full time and more and more were seeing that the fight against this pandemic is not just a medical or scientific, but its social as well. And part of our problem is that if we cant see the enemy, its difficult for us to maintain any sort of extended state of vigilance. Youre absolutely right. And this is a case again with many Infectious Diseases that when you have something is dramatic as saying, and you actually see unfortunately, people in front of you, the community does understand that. Even with the disease, the seriousness that i worked in many places in africa, the next village doesnt believe theres anything. Theres a problem because they havent seen it yet. This disease is now killed 100000000. 00 or 1250000. 00 of us and its killed 60 percent men. So were losing our men, we do think that women too. But, and thats the real problem. If it was an illness, it just made us still be a Public Health problem. But its a fact that its killing so many of us, and its putting so much pressure on our medical and nursing teams to try to save as many lives as possible. And just following on from what weve seen on to lock down protests around the world, including here in germany. So how do we get the message across to there when theyre saying, well, yes, its over well locking down, but this, this lock downs are costing Us Democratic freedoms. So, i mean, say to those people that nobody wants to got to love it. If the infection rates get so high and the context tracing teams and the hospital so well, i thought he has much else in the 2 kids. So thats why they go to a doctor. So that every person, he protested against iraq, that i know i dont like the times ill ask them to read that email. If its to suppress the fires with the things we know work that go into closed spaces. So until a child lives of crowds be serious about washing your hands with the mask. So thats how you protest against a lockdown. You do the things to make to make sure you dont have to go into another one. So without it, and this is this our life for the next year or so until this vaccine sort of is widely available. Lockdown, contact, trace out of lockdown, infectious increase, and repeat no life. I think we this time many countries in europe have got the message. I think the populations have got the message the Contact Tracing really take quarantine seriously. If you dont fight just having the virus in your body. So if i feel like, even if you dont feel right, well we now know this 20 to 30 percent of people who have symptoms, right . They can infer this doesnt moderate arabs from the health organization, but we get the message and we thank you for it. Thank you so much for joining us. Lets take a look at some of the other developments in this pandemic now, starting in ukraine, where the president vladimir, the landscape has been hospitalized after contracting covered 90 this week, the death toll in the u. K. , has passed 950000. Thats the highest in europe in the u. S. , new york has ordered restaurants bars and gyms to close at 10 am. Private gatherings and have them into 210 people and organizers of next years tokyo olympics, say athletes will not be required to isolate for 14 days. The games have already been delayed by a year on 2 other stories making headlines around the world. Russia says it will impose retaliator essentials against a german and french officials over the nerve agent poisoning of opposition figures like say the valley. A new imposed sanctions against several russian officials. After accusing moscow of complicity in the attack, Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said the valley could have been poisoned on the way to germany and where he was treated. Protesters in our media have taken to the streets for the 3rd day, calling for the resignation of Prime Minister nicole passion. And he sparked anger by giving up or down after 4 of their colleagues were expelled on the new powers. Allowing the removal of members of the territories parliament who were deemed to be disloyal to china. You see america is a radical change for hong kong legislature. These seats are usually occupied by home kongs democratic parliamentarians, but now theyre empty. As the session got underway a day after the mass walkout, one of the lawmakers resigning in solidarity protested he rolled out a banner in the foyer, criticizing city leaders carry lymes decision to disqualify the Legislative Council as not long afterwards. The lawmakers took part in their last act, formally handing in their resignation, letters. They cues beijing of trying to remove the citys autonomy and shrines in hong kongs basic law. We all know that the government can always say everything is right because they have to ill connect you to all but the point is whether or not you think government is that baseball . Yeah. That way it was the 15 lawmakers informally resigned on wednesday in solidarity with their colleagues who were deemed threats to National Security by joining and expelled from the assembly. But pro beijing lawmakers dismissed the oppositions resignations as a political show by someone. I dont knock out, its basically a farce. Its blackmail, and it violates the voters trust departs from what they call the principle of democracy. And it clearly shows theyre against the central government. And beijing denies its restricting Hong Kong Special freedoms and says, what should happen in the territory is for it alone to decide john gotti, the hong kongs Legislative Council is chinas domestic affair. No other country has the right to comment and interfere after this lawmakers walk out of vogue strong feelings in the city. I mean some mighty good. Im very thrilled and i support the disqualification of the lawmakers. Theyve been creating chaos in hong kong, and they are against every policy of china. And ive been angry because our, i mean, even though about hong kong people, some of our people, our lives are not meeting government. The lawmakers, resignations are a sign of escalating tensions between hong kongs ruling executives and the prodemocracy movement, which is determined to show their fight is not over yet. Well, the government in china is also facing criticism for its suppression of its muslim. We got minority in the western region, our machine jan and the network of detention camps. A human Rights Groups are increasingly highlighting western companies who invest there. One of the biggest is germanys volkswagen. But he has put into reports were empty, the capital of chinas western syngenta region, too weak and other minorities. This is one of the most heavily policed regions in the world. Chinas repressive policies against ethnic minorities have been called the genocide. So she is also home to german carmaker folks, most controversial investment b w is the only international carmaker to have a plant in the region. I dont, we made the decision to build this factory more than 10 years ago. It was a decision made solely for economic reasons. There was no political motivation. The fact it is now in a politically and socially sensitive environment, worries us. China discovered the region with a massive system of prisons, internment centers, and reeducation camps. Australias asp institute has documented 380. 00 facilities across the region. Hundreds of thousands, possibly millions have disappeared in these facilities on a recent visit and constantly followed around and stopped from filming some of the facilities of official prisons, some are unmarked, and some cynically designated as bookish trains. There are several levels of security from high Security Prisons to just friends come on. Kyra, some arcana, cars are born in china has spent several months in one of these socalled vocational schools in 2018. What they had to learn there had little to do with professional skills. He says, to make it in this camp we had to sing the chinese anthem and other communist songs. They taught us that china was the strongest country in the world, and we had to study materialism of the 19th communist party congress. Thats in there. What was china is portraying the mass detentions as a means to provide opportunities on the job market. But theres growing evidence of forced labor inside the camps or after release when former detainees have been forced to sign up with employment agencies. W. Says theres no indication of forced labor and its operations have, a shift in the law to direct c. , but we hire all our employees directly. They send their resume and we have a job interview. And then the hate charge department and the operating apartment make a decision based on the resume and the impression they gave wise happened to them before is something that is hard for us to know this stuff as yet. This is through an extreme shriya enough to 14 chinese authorities are aware of the controversy my mind to stay in their car this time, but they call the factory god filming is not allowed here. They just tell you, no, i saw you from my window. What did they tell you . They just supervise our work. V. W. Says it will stick to its investment, but that controversy is likely to remain economic levy. W. s investment never paid off. It was planned to build 50000. 00 cars a year here, but its output is less than half that over the last few years, millions of americans have become followers of a right wing Conspiracy Theory known as q. The central idea being that President Trump has a secret plan to bring down the liberal elite, who are paedophiles and operating a global sex trafficking ring. Q. And on followers receive their information in the form of cryptic clues placed, online by someone known as q. , who claims to be a secret operative within the trumpet ministration. But q. Has gone silent. In the last post on the 3rd of november, u. S. Election day, posted this American Flag quote from abraham lincoln. The words together, we win. All very mysterious, luckily d. W. Reporter saga has been investigating. So you dont have to welcome all of the President Trump was the hero. If i can put it that way of a q and on narrative, what does he let his election defeat mean for the q . I dont believe those were the fact that he lost really undermine undermines this idea that hes waging war against his cabal of deep state or protests. But some are pointing to the fact that he has been conceded defeat yet that he is still in control. The followers though are split, some are saying theyve lost faith, theyre uneasy about the future. Others say, you know, follow the plan. Its still in action. But now as you said, q. Has gone silent and weve looked at some messages from followers. And theyre saying things like, how do you go quiet hours right now . We have trusted the plan yet here we are watching the news. The thing we knew they would do, what is the plan now . And many people are calling. This is more than a Conspiracy Theory is more a collective dilution. I mean you have the paedophilia, you have cannibalism. There is pizza gate, which you might remember. And its not just the democrats, as hollywood elite media elites are involved earlier today, we spoke to a professor in american history. Miko, a university of to begin here in germany. And he told us a little bit more about the phenomena of on, of colonel. Keep in mind here the q and on started as a quite unusual Conspiracy Theory back in the fall of 2017. Because usually conspiracy theorists are obsessed with proving that there is a Conspiracy Theory and alerting the world to it so that the conspiracy can be foiled. Youre not was different because hugh was telling people, we know that theres a Conspiracy Theory, a conspiracy going on, and were already fighting against it. So he was only giving clues as to when the eventual victory would occur when people like hillary would go to jail. So now that president , trump has effectively lost the election. What is likely to happen to q. And a during the biden presidency . It really depends. If this heretic you resurfaces and what his explanation is for why trump lost this election, hes long said that he would win. He might also claim that he be part of working in the background of the future. Biden, lots of white house, professor butler who are here, he has said that its likely that the, the group will turn to a more concise, traditional Conspiracy Theory, as opposed to now where they are part of, you know, theyre part of this inside plan. Traditional conspiracy theories more that the conspiracy theories are part of the oppressed. Theyre doing that a little bit already. When it comes to the coronavirus, they say, oh many they believe that that was a plan by the democrats to make against then to may win the election. What are the somewhat democrats started to coronavirus that right, thats what many believe thats mental. What about President Trump . Who has always maintained that he knows little about cuba, them. Well, he has been asked rightly, many times he hasnt given a straight answer. Lets just have a listen to some of the things that he said. I just tried, you know, very let me you told me, but what you tell me doesnt necessarily make it, shall i just say that i know nothing about it, but you do know that you are very much a pedophile. It might or might not actually match in the future of this group, because now there are also q. Nonbelievers in Congress Major made major retailer green. She won a seat for georgia. She has, she has promoted these ideas before trump has called her a future republican stars, colorado seat as well. So in mikes so as theres a lot of us still out there. Yeah. Ill suck affect you so much as youre up to date of the day. After 5 years after the attack on about a quarter in paris, his son was an assassin and the daughter was a victim.
