Polish capital, joyce, their anger over the governments ability to tighten abortion last play. Richardson, welcome to the show. We start in the United States with a grim evidence of the countrys worsening Coronavirus Crisis. More than 250000, people have now died of covert 90. Since the start of the pandemic, by far the highest toll worldwide, the u. S. Has been struggling to stem a surgeon infections across the country. Its largest city, new york city, has decided to close all Public Schools in a bid to slow the spread of the virus. Its an unseasonably early last week of school for children across new york city. Classrooms are shifting to Online Learning until further notice. Its the latest in a series of new restrictions in the state. Parents and students alike are unhappy. Its super unfortunate that these kids are going to be denied an education, but we can go eat dinner inside a restaurant or general to be the last thing in the world. The kind of dog are a little sad, its close by. If thats whats best for the cats, well go with that. The citys man feels the same way workers i want to for and as much as we are unhappy today, that this moment was reached. We are resolved to keep fighting. Thats what new yorkers do. And we will overcome this moment. Cases in the state have more than doubled over the past 2 weeks. But new york is in the uni state to see an exponential rise. Cases across the country are increasing, as are new restrictions. Deaths have also been mounting, passing quarter of a 1000000. Since the start of the pandemic. The president elect is warning even more people could die if President Trump refuses to share crucial information with the incoming administration. From the me. Over 300000000, americans that are beyond our, our Border Guards are going to have to be taken care of. Theres a whole lot of things that are just, we just dont have available to us or to less is made available soon. Were going to be harmed by weeks, months, or even as promising vaccines raise the hope of an end to the crisis. The country will still have to enjoy a long winter. So the death toll in the United States has passed 250000 the york is sending more than a 1000000 students home. Heres the correspondence, all of it on the overall situation in the country. Well, for the, in the rest of the country, the situation isnt part of a lot worse than in new york city. In fact, sometimes even very chaotic, if you look at the midwest of the current current epicenter of the pun, demick in the United States, south dakota has a Positivity Rate of 56 per cent right now. So far above new York City Schools and restaurants to remain open the salsa culture, governor also said, you dont have to feel bad if you dont want to bear where youre mass. So its voluntary. And it really shows there is no coherent policy in place in the United States. And it adds to that donald trump is not taking any Decisive Action at this point. Also blocking joe bidens transition team. So he came out today and said that this could actually delay his planning by weeks and it cost could cost thousands of lives. If donald trump doesnt give in on that, all of his salary reporting for us from a d. C. Thank you very much. Well, we turn to india now where the capital delhi is considering plans to reintroduce some lockdown measures following festive gatherings and a drop in temperatures. The nation as a whole is braced for a spike in cases, but residents in delhi have already seen the numbers go up to meet those on the front line of the citys battle with cope with 19 the day is just beginning for but he knows it will be a long one. He counted 15 bodies in the morning when he left the morgue at dalys Largest School with 1000 hospital, where he works. He will spend all day at this chemical area. He helped cremate the body sifi and ensured that people suffering the shock of losing a Family Member to the could. One of my it is have proper protective gear. As they see the last goodbyes for the last week has been bringing in twice the number of bodies that no new delhi is experiencing its taught spike. In over 1000 cases, the close 200 deaths every day. Roger was assigned to the mortuary after many workers before him, quit all the venom by the number of corpses coming in. I had to step over bodies to sort through the names of the victims. I had to summon all my courage. Of course i was scared. Ive never seen anything like it in my life. Ive never seen so many bodies. Still, he soldiers on. He says someone has to here at the local, delis largest go dont know why this facility. The spike is evident. The severity of the cases has also risen. As many more seek admission, while this hospital still has a high number of designated coronavirus beds available, they only have a handful of free ventilators and intensive care units or i. C. U. Beds left. This after i. C. U. Beds at this facility alone have been for drupal during the pandemic. Authorities here are confident that things are under control, but they are also bracing for more cases. More and more people are coming out of their home. So we have to make provision for this is because of the number of people in the market was and social gathering. The authorities are now mapping out ways to prevent the Health Care System from being over bend, with daily cases in barely crossing the 8000. 00 mark. The National Government has now stepped in at partys plan to significantly than proper testing, increase the number of i. C. U. Beds and also deployed Emergency Health care forces elsewhere in delhi to the morgue and the board are stokley distant words. Even after the recent volley festival crowds continue to try on the markets. The State Government denies chances of another lockdown, but is considering closing down markets where norms are being flouted. Dress against think this is unnecessary. Because israel has no need to worry, cases are going up there, keep rising, even during a shutdown. People go out anyway, you want to make a difference. Its not so would be interesting to asian right now. If you take some precautions so it becomes easy for them back at the crime. Adored him, strongly disagrees. His is the kind of book that makes him vince when he sees the markets overflowing and people shouting together on the street. Memories of the lockdown maybe feeding for those out and about, but is still afraid to come close to his 3 young daughters and his aging mother who recently underwent a cancer procedure is upset that he hasnt really spoken to her in 8 months. But hes not giving up. Lucky, dont forget, is not an option. Its on leave. And the pandemic ends that can truly go home. While lawmakers in germany have voted to give the governments new powers, meant to make it easier to tackle the Coronavirus Crisis include new measures that would make it possible to impose restrictions on social contacts and shut down shops and sporting events. Although most germans find the restrictions justifiable, thousands of demonstrators came out to protest the move to find bands and clashing with police in berlin. Water cannon and pepper spray deployed by police to disperse the demonstrators. Thousands gathered near the German Parliament building a crowd, including antigovernment protesters, coronavirus skeptics, and members of far right groups. Many were not Wearing Masks or maintaining social distancing. They were protesting against coronavirus restrictions, which they see as a violation of their civil rights. By little, by little, in my opinion, the restrictions are disproportionate. Surely it should have been possible to come up with other measures that dont cause so much suffering children. Like you, steve, i am here for my children and my grandchildren. I will not allow their freedom to be taken away. Yeah. Well Police Clashed with protesters outside lawmakers inside parliament who are largely in agreement and approve the new infection protection law. Below is meant to put the governments response of the coronavirus on a stronger legal footing. Previous legislation only listed broad general provisions and didnt foresee the severity of the pandemic or the specific restrictions needed to rein it in. This led to local courts overturning some of the measures the new law that finds more concretely which restrictions can be introduced. Including mandatory face masks, limited social contacts, and restaurant closures. House minister yen spawn, defended the measures and criticize those protesting against them. Loads, im sure, do you lash out to be against it or even to deny the obvious oh, that is possible and must be possible in a free and open country. But those who are allowed are far from being right and certainly not in the majority or does that not deter the demonstrators outside. Despite polls showing they are in the minority. A recent survey found 56 percent of germans believe the restrictions are justified. And some actually want even stricter measures. Well, that is the latest from here in germany. Now lets take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. U. S. The secretary of state, michael peo has held talks in jerusalem. Hes meeting with the israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu, and bahrains foreign minister. If the 2 countries have agreed to normalize ties under a u. S. Back to deal with thousands of antigovernment protesters are gathered in the thai capital, bangkok as lawmakers rejected their demands for sweeping changes to the constitution. Demonstrators want the Prime Minister to step down and curbs, on the power of the monarchy. Chaotic protests a day earlier left, more than 50 people injured. And the u. S. , a federal aviation administration, says boeings 737. 00 max jet will be allowed to fly again. If planes are fitted with new software, the aircraft was grounded in march last year after 2 crashes killed nearly 350 people and in poland, thousands of people have staged a fresh rally in warsaw to protest an attempt to tightened the countrys abortion laws. Last month, polands top court outlawed abortions for fetal abnormalities amounted to a ban. On nearly all abortions in the country. And the proposed changes have unleashed the largest demonstrations in decades, and are driving more women to seek abortions abroad. Another night of protests in poland, thousands of women took to the streets once more to voice outrage over a Supreme Court ruling that could further tighten the countrys strict abortion laws. Already many women have been forced to travel abroad for the procedure. Polish kind of college is young assured since he works in germany. Hes inundated with hate mail from compatriots for performing abortions on polish women. First and foremost, they want to insult you. They tell me im a murderer. Im used to that by now. He also gets letters from women, thanking him. You saved my life, this one reads, he says hes horrified by the proposed changes when a baby would die after birth, it is torture to force women to have it anyway. Polish women can count on a network of european organizations, providing health works for a prochoice organization based in berlin. She has come to the train station to pick up. A woman arriving from poland is about the time she was really anxious and cried for 2 days. She doesnt want to give birth to a disabled child, but shes being forced to do so helps women find a clinic organizes accommodation and collects donations. Mara clarke, founder of the international network, abortion support says many of the women reaching out for help are polish. And when this ruling happened, on the 22nd of october, we went from getting 300 polls a month to in one case 300 calls in one day. And i know because people are terrified, fueled by desperation, to protest and poll and show no signs of abating. Thats a news update at this hour. Terry martin will be back with more in 45 minutes time and say richardson in berlin for me and a whole team. Thanks for watching. Imagine how many push ups us right now in the World Climate change because in all the stories, this is my placing way from just one week. How much worse can it really get . We still have time to run during this process. The palace of justice in nuremberg, after the 2nd world war, nearly 200. 00 defendants were brought here to be held accountable for 12 years of dictatorship, military aggression, tera and mass murder. At the heart of proceedings was the International Military tribunals which tried to kill war criminals from germany before victorious powers responded to the nazis once in a millennium crimes. With a once in a millennium trial, on nov 20th, 194520 high ranking nazi leaders were brought by elevator to the of course in room 600. 00. The former rice Marshall Hammond girl ring willingly took on the role of most senior nazi. He was followed by grand admiral carl dern. Its him, hitler had appointed as president of the right in his will. And rudolf hess, hitlers former deputy. The defendants never showed the slightest remorse. It was part of their starch, their pride to insist that they were right all the time and would do it again. They stood accused of conspiracy to carry out wars of aggression, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The defendants were ruthless ministers and fanatical ideologues, merciless military commanders and barbaric enforcers of hitlers maniacal will. And were, was the nuremburg palace of justice was a quipped with what was then state of the young technology. On nov, 29th, 1945, the prosecution had a giant screen installed. The court was shown document 243, o p. S, an authenticated one hour film about the atrocities in nazi concentration camps. The film showed that a system of terror had been instituted across europe. It all began in 1933, in a camp north of munich, this footage was taken after the camp was liberated. That our factory of our act, our new invention, one of the art of a not if they havent got it now and that the 941 and im already racked up a very proud and fearful rant at runtime. Incoming president , dr. Dr. Eric martin had been reading are Strong Enough to travel where proctored back off. Im not lying right. But went back in by the hour i did back then and there are a lot on iraq. As soon as they saw all the pictures they filmed of the concentration camps, it began the weather. And then as a matter of fact, several of them cried. They were crying. I dont think for the jewish people who are lost, theyre crying because they knew that the and know what those pictures were seen in the world. They had no way to escape because fusion, a british camera crew shown these scenes in a liberated camp near the town of when i was back in doubt, not that the accused previously. So selfassured was shaken by the images. Some briefed heavily, others lowered their heads minister of economics. Votto film cried yulia strike here, claims not to believe what he saw as even him. And goerings nonchalance seemed to vanish. It was such a pleasant afternoon. He said until that film was shown, our good friends fossils. And these were scenes where you could see indescribable things happening. And of course, you had to ask yourself, was it possible that the senior figures didnt know about . It was just but sinister was i turned around and asked, getting done it and has really did no one know what his getting remarked. Well, you know how it is at the top. You dont hear about muscle as you just never does, its not a fit numbers. And as you know, the next morning, the prosecution called its 1st witness general evin law, hos. It was hoped, his evidence would help prove the defendants individual guilt. The former department, head under espionage and sabotage chief vilhelm canaris, told how the Resistance Movement tried in vain to hamper hitlers war plans. Above all, law hosen incriminated during keitel and yodel, not only had they planned the murder of polish elites and the jewish population, they had also knowingly accepted the deaths of millions of soviet prisoners of war during the russian campaign. An enraged gurning called glasgows in a traitor. Lamenting that he had escaped notice in the aftermath of a failed plot to assassinate hitler. No wonder we lost the war going said our own Intelligence Service was betrayed to the enemy. The title and the courtroom . Yes, next topic now to the best of your knowledge and recollection will you please expand and as much detail as possible to the tribe you know exactly what was bad and what and here it train large holes in recalled a conversation during the september 19th 39. 00, Poland Campaign in which the destruction of warsaw was discussed, hitler and gurning personally decided to have the capital bombed. Hosen also said that keitel and yodel had approved of the murder of prisoners of war in the campaign against the soviet union. And you know, the execution i didnt read the order itself according to discussions in our circle at the time the idea was hitlers, but i cant say who was involved in transforming that idea into an order to give you a hard time with american judge Francis Biddle followed up i should like to ask you what well that the orders to kill the russian and in connection with equipment of the prisoners were in writing. And monica is not the best of my knowledge. Yes, i have not seen or read it myself. Believe to where they are, special orders of god, the son of the philip. Yes. These were official orders, of course the actual meaning was paraphrasing. Also in the afternoon, the case of rudolf hess was discussed. His lawyer had filed a motion to declare the defendant unfit to stand trial, has seemed unable to follow the proceedings hed been diagnosed with amnesia. The prosecutors argued against that their psychiatric experts did not consider him mentally ill. Faced with the threat of exclusion from further proceedings has surprisingly took the stand himself in for it to avoid that if youre in order to avoid being declared incapacity to despite my wish to participate in the trial in an inch on a scene with a verdict together with my comrades, i make the following statement to the court, and i legitimately intended to meet it at a later stage of the trial verdict. Were going to end it on 3 and i was on mine enry. All subi available to the im side world also didnt get up to the people. The reasons for feeling memory loss were tactical. In fact, one, my concentration is somewhat impaired hot topic. It used to be a degree humana. Big cat cannot get it. Another of the defendants had been previously unable to stand trial. Prosecutors believed that in answer to cult and bruna, they had found a fully fledged replacement for s. S. Later heinrich himmler. They accused the 42 year old lawyer of involvement in the genocide of millions. On december 10th, 1945, he entered the court for the 1st time, American Court psychologist Gustaf Gilbert would later recall, a coldness whipped the prisoners dog as if a freezing glassed had come in through the open door. His codefendants received him coldly and trying to ignore him. Being much now either guilty or not guilty, i believe im not guilty cult and bruna denied the charges claiming he was a scapegoat for the crimes of others. Him and during was annoyed by the attention the newcomer was getting from the press. He suspected cults and burned his appearance, meant the unpleasant topic of the murdering of jews would come to dominate proceedings. Court psychologist Gustaf Gilbert was able to eavesdrop on the defendants conversations, especially during breaks. He also had unhindered access to the cells. Gilberts diary published in 1947 still shapes how the nuremberg trials the scene today. On january 3rd, 1946 gilbert described the 26th day of the trial in room 600, he wrote the effect on the defendants was generally depressing as the eunice capable reality. And shame of mass murder was driven home by the unquestionable reliability of a german official who admitted participating in it, after all, and all. And i was the one that this covered up all adore. And i said, all right off, what a jew do during the war in asia. Well, during the war i was the head of the i. R. S. Ha, except for the year 941. I said, what did you do that year . He said, well, i was ahead of line charts, cripple d. So i asked all of our it all and all our harmony men, women, and children, did you kill that you and responded 90000 odd group killed 90000 on the often other witnesses who we were able to that there were 4 of these are going to follow the German Army Corps with a mission to run, to go to another and warn the person gypsies, and so on killing them in the open field. Just murdering them in the open for striking evidence. And just lawyers luck the frame a s. S. Brigade leader patiently explains the murderous actions of the death squads to the court. He gave detailed answers to questions about the involvement of cults and bruna, gestapo, chief, and holocaust organizer, adult men bashing that he was head of the Security Police and the s. D. Intelligence agency. I think this as such, he was also head of the right security main office held that position worked on the jewish problems in office for under hammond gurning deliberately tried to ignore such statements. What does the pig expect to gain from this . He said about all indoors testimony, hes going to hang anyway. The same day, s. S. Functionary. D to visit saini, an assistant to adult iseman, also testified on the genocide of the jews. Among other things, he was questioned about the deportation of 450000, hungary and jews. You care the jews do work on you are already preparing their backs. My daughter to grow nicely about 400, soon as they were all taken to auschwitz and brought to the final solution. Did you mean they were, you know . Yes, i was yes. Except about 25 to 30 percent who were put to work, but they can prevent it for good or ring responded angrily. It makes me sick. He said, when i see germans selling their souls to the enemy, day after day, the prosecutors of the 4 victorious powers presented their incriminating evidence. That it is for that. For the 1st time, the world saw film footage from auschwitz presented as evidence by soviet prosecutors. But the pictures were taken when the red army reached the extermination camp in late january 945, who, due to the fleeing germans, had forced most of the surviving prisoners on death marches to the west. And those left in the camp were the sick. And those physically unable to march, she didnt get it. And so its got to mean it gets a city just puts you in the willis that was in the city. This time. Not all the accused seemed affected by the film. Hammond during pretended to read, yawned, and now and then made sarcastic remarks to hess and ribbentrop to him. It was all just soviet propaganda. Love one was our god be like. The owners are nice shaved our heads and tatted the entry number on our left for arms. Then we were taken to a larger is that to have a steam bath and an ice cold shower. It was all done in front of s. S. Men, women, and even there we had to strip naked times when theres any of them on the go in. That was how one witness described the arrival procedures that auschwitz maariv a young crew. Terri, a was a communist resistance fighter from france. On january 28th 1946, she gave a detailed account of the daily horrors in the concentration camp. Separation based on fitness for work, forced labor and the gas chambers. When the judge called for the defense to question the witness, the only response was shamefaced silence. There in the courtroom at nuremberg, the holocaust had become an undeniable fact. You can do with your spirit. Faced with harrowing testimony like that, the defendants united front began to waver during a lunch break during its declared at 1st, i was angry about being dragged into court because i knew nothing of these atrocities. Now im satisfied because there was good reason to get to the bottom of the things you know, in march, 946. After 76 days of hearings, the prosecution concluded the evidentiary proceedings. For weeks, the Defense Attorneys had followed the prosecutions arguments occasionally making comments. So crossexamining witnesses, now it was their clients turn to either confess or to refute the evidence. In room 57 of the palace of justice, lawyers for the defense had the opportunity to talk to their clients. One in particular had been waiting for months for his moment in the spotlight. 13946. 00 hammond presented his version of the story, showing no remorse on the witness stand. He used the trial to convey his personal mythology to the german people. The ranks must had overcome his drug addiction and lost a lot of white if so then they got us. I mean, i dont personally speak for myself. I have done everything in my personal power to strengthen and expand the National Socialist movement. No matter the circumstances. I have worked an unceasing lead to bring to it, and its a loon. And if you think jackson is not very worried about carrying his burden of proof on the crimes charge, he doesnt need confessions from her. They have an extensive documentary record, including many things going head side, but jacksons very concerned about not letting gurrey turn this examination into a platform from which shell be able to rally the german people to a renewed enthusiasm for naziism robot. Jackson was an accomplished prosecutor. He knew exactly how to reduce the mass of evidence down to the essentials counsel, separate important facts from unimportant ones in order to establish the crucial points. After 3 days of unrestrained self promotion from gurning, the american lead prosecutor began his awaited crossexamination. Jackson was determined not to give any more opportunity for grandstanding that you set up in germany and concentration camps. Was one of the things you found immediately necessary upon coming to power, as you set them up as a matter of necessity to speak on the translations. It was a bit too quick for me, but i still think i understood the meaning of the statement. But i would have considered it necessary to limit your position. Thats correct. Especially as jackson pressed him, caring, saw what was going on, and he became very word in the face. And his answers were a long explanation, and he would say, well, you do the same thing in the United States in great britain. And so for theres no difference and so all of these things were necessary things as i understood you to protect yogic editing. Of this, these things became necessary because of the existing opposition when we got caring into the matter of the specific crimes that he committed such as the persecution of the jews. Well then he collapsed. Then he, he was because we had him so, so devastated on the jewish issue that jackson had achieved. His goal during didnt step off the stages, the new furer. Instead, his own words had condemned him. Regarding the crossexamination during said, i had the best lawyers against me to go through this. If i was on march 28th, 946, it was hitlers Foreign Ministers turn. You are him from ribbentrop was despised by his codefendants as a pathetic weakling. The prosecution primarily charged him with war crimes and ordering deportations. Ribbentrop main defense was that he always unconditionally placed his own opinions below those of adult hitler. To prove his innocence, ribbentrop sent his secretary margaret a blank to the witness stand. But i want to feel as though beneath our feet in width of the look at the war on you. The fact i have the fear is trust was the greatest satisfaction for him. And his greatest goal was to justify that trust through his attitude. In the 4 minutes. He was completely devoted to that girl by no effort was too great for him to achieve it. He was ruthlessly and unsparingly hard on himself when it came to carrying out the tasks the futurist sets him up to his subordinates. He spoke about at all fit with the greatest veneration than on what was in the dock. There was unanimous agreement that the Foreign Ministers fate was sealed. Going said simply, ribbentrop is finished. They got it there, but they can get that it up and get it down to the bottom. But theyll be kept down. But in the context of the Foreign Ministers questioning rudolf hess is defense counsel. Trying to introduce the secret german soviet nonaggression pact. The invasion of poland was part of the trial and introducing the pact would show that military aggression against poland had, in fact, been jointly planned by germany and the soviet union. The soviet delegation tried everything to prevent the embarrassing document from being read out. But in the end, zydeco had his way. Vilhelm keitel stood before the tribunals, the highest ranking officer of the van marked unsurprisingly, he was of the opinion that he shouldnt be called to account. Nevertheless, michael didnt hide behind the defense, that he was just following orders. Although he said he had protested against unlawful orders, he would now bear responsibility for carrying them out. This story that i was a soldier. I was not a growth because of my aptitude for it. And my belief in either police gave him, let me explain very him. Both nonspecialists and professional officers found hitlers studying of staff reports, military literature, and tactical operational and strategic studies. Incredible to behold, your corrupt. He possessed a military knowledge that can only be described as astonishing what i just dont get that i got this general found great that i already told the court, he had no authority, said goering mockingly. Of keitel statement. I guess he had to say it himself to the poor devil really had nothing to say. Many people simply dont belong here. No wouldnt be here. If hitler where he carried out was ordered the actually cured the man are presented with his signature on countless documents. And cult and burn are either trying to play down the fact or he denied their authenticity. Hes stubborn denials, true admiration from some one defender called him the man without a signature film shown by american cameramen during the liberation of the mauthausen concentration. Camp near linz, was still fresh in the memory of those in the courtroom. The prosecution accused culson burna, among other things of having taken part in executions. During his visits there ordered the construction of the gas chambers and in 1945, forwarded him order to eliminate the surviving prisoners the other make a profit to feed ok. You asked me, who gave the order to kill the prisoners at the end of the war amount housing given how i replied that i dont know of any such orders like if he is finished because if you have it, i dont think i gave one single order to mauthausen, you know how that the entire camp and all prisoners were to be handed over to the end. I mean, without any maltreatment, only a year to mishandle. And it usually a strike had been editor of the n. T. Semitic hate magazine dash duma. He stood accused of inciting the murder of jews. Drawing his defense was that as a newspaper man, he had nothing to do with murders for him, the trial was an outrageous injustice. I mean, if a patron had complained in the courtroom that the prosecution had refused him an anti semitic defense counsel the shambolic, it makes him good if thats because i wish to make the following statement to the court. Thats near i here by declare that i have been provent it from having an unrestricted. Therefore, just defense for this International Military tribunal. It said none of his naval officers would have touched the reprehensible striker with a 10 foot pole. The grand admiral complained about the long hours spent sitting in court saying he was glad his case would soon be heard. The prosecution accused the former submarine fleet, commander of giving orders to shoot and ship wrecked enemies instead of rescuing them a war crime. Dern its vehemently denied any involvement his defense was able to nullify a major accusation by the prosecution. That dune it says submarines had sunk merchant ships without any warning. Us admiral chester nimitz confirmed that the American Pacific fleet had acted the same way. Former minister of armaments adopted a Defense Strategy that was rejected by other defendants assuming general responsibility. While denying personal guilt. Spears calculation was that fritz zokol, who provided slave labor for the armament factories, would take the heat for their shared crimes. As chief representative for deployment of labor had provided his superior with 8000000 foreign, forced labor is also used to concentration camp prisoners in his factories against his better judgment. He denied knowledge of their cruel treatment and incriminated its zokol it, it should be a strategy seemed to work. He also exaggerated his own record of resisting hitler. After all, he reasoned, it was he who had stopped the furious scorched earth policy at the last moment. Without proof
