75 years since the start of the nuremberg trials, president from voters steinmeyer takes part in the commemorations. The prosecutions of top nazi officials helped lay the foundations of the International Criminal court. Im jarid radio. Thank you for joining me. Us drug giant pfizer and its german pot now by own take have applied for a marriage and see authorize ation for their corona virus vaccine. In the United States now, based on the vaccines high safety record, the u. S. Food and Drug Administration could ground to merge and permission for a marriage and sea use before testing is complete. And if it does, the 1st doses could be administered next month. Now, across the world to Severe Health and Economic Impacts of the pandemic mean, a vaccine cant come soon enough. A small pub with a big history. 60 years of the albatross pub in california, once hosted intellectuals of the Free Speech Movement in the sixtys. Today, its shutting down for good to the coronavirus pandemic where people, everybody hang out is a community. Its, a familiar story, not just in the u. S. , but all across the world. The lives of many have been up ended by the pandemic. But on friday, some good news. German drug developer biotech and its american partner, pfizer, announced that they will be asking the u. S. Food and Drug Administration for emergency approval of a coded 19 vaccine. Comes after the Companies Posted promising results from advanced trial. It showed a 94 percent success rate in adults over 65. 00 and the park 89 months. After the start of this project, we have a readiness to buy new fire. Sure and get approved for boxes of this. As you can see, definitely it is something of a will redefine it will start the clock on a process that could save the vaccine approved for use in the u. S. By mid december. Once approved, distribution will become the focus. And theres a mixed response from americans as to whether or not they will get the shot. Of course. Yeah. Only sort of possible. And not really just i dont even take it beautifully, shot myself just because im out means this town that been really good. L. A. Yes, although im not personally feel like i feel like its everybodys own choice, you know, because not everybody agrees with vaccines, but experts dont want people getting too excited. Stressing that the manufacture and distribution of the vaccine is a complex task and will take some time. I mean, even if we look about the, you know, 6070 percent population in the words of human eyes to see the real impact of the vaccine. We are talking about 11000000000. 00. And i dont think that one of the actually can be produced at this care for 40 ministration around the globe. But on tech and pfizer have also started complications in the u. K. And in europe for use of the vaccine. Lets take a look now at some of the other developments in the pandemic, the u. S. Is averaging more than 1319 related deaths each day. Now this is the highest since may when new york was the, the center of the pandemic. Iran is imposing tougher restrictions from saturday as it battles its 3rd wave of infections. Nonessential businesses will close in the capital, tehran and 160 are the high risk towns and cities. And a large scale study at Oxford University shows that people infected with the virus on likely to catch it again for at least 6 months. For italy was the 1st western country to be hit by the corona virus. And now its struggling to deal with the 2nd wife of infections. On friday authorities there registered more than 37000. 00 new cases and almost 700 deaths. D. W. Travelled to the south and city of naples where hospitals are overwhelmed. Only a few days ago, you have to lost her father to cope with 19. She says it is still too hard for her to look at this photo. And its not only her whos mourning, but the whole sunday town neighborhood in naples, francesco, to a total, was well known here, a political activist who left his mark all over senator. Just as many here will remember him as a fighter for Better Health care. This fight became the symbol of his death. My father died because of mismanagement of the health care system. One kilometer behind his house, the hospital was partly closed. So he fought for it to be operative again. If its still been open, hed still be here. This year by the visiting them quite a bit when he got sick from chest, who had to had to wait for more than 2 weeks to be picked up by ambulance. When he got to naples to rally hospital, it was already too late. Thats about the same time this video filmed in the code 900 word of this exact hospital caused consternation and in italy. The recent campaign and its capital, naples were mostly spared from the 1st wave of the coronavirus pandemic in spring, only to be hit even harder by the 2nd wave. This doctor works in another hospital in the region, out of fear for his job. He doesnt want to show his face, he says that many untrained doctors and nurses have to fill in we cant assist people in the probable way. Even if we try. Were also worried about being infected. Our main issue is the lack of hospital beds and personnel. This dr. Seymour not says another problem. Italy has cut down healthcare spending over the last decades. There are not enough family. Doctors, hospitals have been privatized to keep every emergency room in companion historically overwhelmed by too much work. And Family Doctors are too busy to take care of kovac 19 patients but in italy, self and naples in particular are economically far worse. So the richer north of the country mario compared to supports the left being majority in naples city council. It needs that local and regional authorities could have maybe avoided the crisis if they communicated better. And we are probably, if we do united our voices, when we requested more doctors, we would have gotten more and appear more trustworthy. Bt the patches says campaign was put under lockdown far too late when her father got sick in mid october life here in sunny towers, this base and yes always. Shes sure her dad will be missed here, but i thought they were they were, they were caught up in the south. You know what i would do . One of the reasons why everybody loved him as a politician is because they actually saw him doing things. Sometimes he himself fixed the holes in the street with cement. We still have bags of cement and tar and her hand. We dont know what to do with that. It wants to take her fathers case to court, but she doesnt want to blame a single person. Its the system itself. She wants to be hold accountable. Ok, lets take a look now at some of the other. Hes making news today. The United Nations has warned that yemen is in imminent danger of facing the worst famine the world has seen fit decades. And that millions of lives could be lost without immediate action. Yemen has enjoyed a 5 year war between iran backed truthy rebels and its saudi backed government, the ugandan opposition president ial candidate bobby wine has been released on bail after being charged with holding rallies likely to spread the coronavirus. The wrist of the pop star turned politician earlier this week, a treated protest that led to at least 37 deaths. Uganda is due to hold president ial and parliamentary elections in mid january. And germanys governing coalition has agreed on a mandatory minimum of women on Company Executive boards. A working group from chancellor Angela Merkels conservatives, and the social democrats wants, at least one woman on the board of any least of companies. With more than 3 board members, Party Leaders will make a decision on the proposal next week. Well, its been 75 years now since the nuremberg trials brought nazi leaders to justice in whats been called the birth of international law. 24 high ranking representatives of the nazi regime were indicted for war crimes in the southern german city of nuremberg. It was the 1st tribunals of its kind and the 1st time any of the countrys leaders had stood before an international court. A year later guilty verdicts led to prison sentences and 12 death penalties. The trial paved the way for the creation of the International Criminal court in the hague. And during commemorations on friday at nuremberg palace of justice where those trials took place. 75 years ago, german president in for size this significant. I think the nuremberg trials of the main war criminals were revolutionary and they didnt just make legal history. They made World History start at nice, but the city known for the nuremberg rally in the race laws held a mirror up to germans. And nurnberg confronted them in plain view of the world. With the fact that naziism itself, including its conduct in war, was criminal and 6 feet long and for breaking it isnt all in an indirect if it werent for nuremberg war lords from serbia, croatia, or rwanda, for instance, wouldnt have been punished for mass murder, torture and rape and genocide would not be prosecuted as a crime stuff to go on and if it werent for nurnberg, there would be no principle of international law. And National Courts could not prosecute violations of international law. And for good. The german president , func speaking early and it will d. W. Spoked team in one and all should survive. And the other that the son of a nazi deputy told us about the impact that these tribunals had on their lives in 1904 peter gard. Osh was 14 years old when he, his mother and his sister, were deported to the auschwitz concentration camp. One year later, at the nuremberg trial, he recognised some of the men who sent them to the gas chamber. It was pure luck that he survived. I followed the trial and felt great satisfaction, that at least the main were brought to justice by the allies and that they finally received their just punishment. Nicholas funk also experienced an unexpected end to his carefree childhood. His father hunts frank was hitlers deputy in occupied poland. Hans was one of the main war criminals dubbed the butcher of poland. Nicholas was only 6 then. He was teased at school at school, some kids made up rhymes minister, minister gas canister. Because i was the son of a heist minister, but that wasnt so bad. In other words, said to me again, nicki nickie. That was my nickname. Your daddy will be hanged soon. So i just answered. Yes. Up until the very end, the main war criminals denied the systematic extermination of jews. They tried to deny everything and said they knew nothing. But during the trial they were shown films of the concentration camps with the mountains of corpses. And afterwards, even getting himself was dazed. None of the accused at the nurnberg trial took credit for their actions. They pushed the responsibility up the chain of command. They said they only have bad orders. They blamed everything on hitler or himmler who were both dead by then. Nicholas father was sentenced to death. His and 11 more death sentences were carried out on october 16th, 1946 movies. Back then they showed not how they were hung, but how they lay in their coffins with the white and black stripes noose around their necks. And i thought they all deserved to wear that next time. Nicholas hong, always carries a photo of his hanged father with him. And whenever he feels just a touch of pity for his dad, he thinks of auschwitz. And then he affirms the verdict of the nuremberg trial was just thats it. Youre up to date. More news at the top of the hour d. W. News africa is next is more in the news off and on our web site details with you dot com. Im jarred, draped over it. Thanks so much to give us your country. People will make you rich.

Investors make big promises, but years later, reality looks really cool. Pictures, good Drinking Water shortage. Youre going to go straight to our coal oil traverses starts december 4th. This is state of the unions africa on the program today, cold as 19 in africa. Public Health Officials warn the continent is edging towards a 2nd wave as it. So apos is 2000000 confirmed cases. Now with the best seen on its way is africa, really . Its a distribution and ministers and the election overshadowed by terrorism. Looking, a fossil goes to the polls on sunday, but the large parts of the country have been affected by extremist violence. Some bush says one should cost their ballots. Some of them too far. What we want is for the elected president to help us go piece back. So we can go back home safely. Hello, im christine wonder why its good to have your company. The number of coronavirus cases in africa has surpassed 2000000, including 48000, deaths, africas infections and deaths make up less than 4 percent off the global total. But the World Health Organization has warned the continent is heading toward a 2nd wave of infections. Africa has not experienced covered 19 infections on the scale that experts had predicted. But the threat of a new wave has raised fears that the continent is not out of the woods. Yet. 20 countries have had coronavirus spikes in the past month. And thats for a range of reasons in most of the affected african countries, the rise in new cases is coming from workplaces and family gatherings. And of course, we know that there are several political elections coming up in a number of countries. Come paynes going on and gatherings as far as large is concerned. And some existing challenges have mounted pregnant women in zimbabwe now have limited access to medical workers since many facilities are closed. Thats in a country with an already weak health care system. They used to be and hospitals providing since their inspections for difficult, but with it now while getting transports to get to the hospital was a problem. So what happened . Number of women was struggling to give back. And by the taking the air raid in hospitals, they actually afaik, they day adapting to lockdowns is not easy or affordable for many across africa. For example, not every student can do their Online Research from home. In the morning to go through. Its a way for a very good class and they get access. They have time to, to know what others have and news that a vaccine is near will be welcomed as much in africa as elsewhere, although their weight logistical challenges relating to how it is rolled out. I am now joined by professor whom he is with epicenter africa. Thats the research arm off doctors without borders. Hes a specialist in if the genealogy and Public Health welcome back. Cities are being is africa professor. So, africa has now reported 2000000 cases, but i want to point out that france and russia have just the same amount and these are individual countries. Their population size is respectively right. 150000000 in russia, 67000000 in france, this dwarfs africas 1200000000. So what is your explanation for the reason the continent seems to be doing better than most parts of the world . Thank you. Find my community and i think its important to remind ourselves what do we mean by doing bait eat in terms of number of keys. It into more number of death. So definitely dont number of cases we need to do take more and more of how and how appropriation using that different just that we have. But the number of kids we have a different creation. Again, we have been mentioning that along and on, you have a population where to me of how it is around 20 years or less. What we see in cameroon, india see in many countries, which is different from what you have seen. Most part of the work in europe or in china, it was around 60 of age. And we know what the people who are the most recent of how the c. V. R. Condition or even i think more beauties, which is not fine as much in how british ok, thats is interesting. You point that out. Because for example, in europe and in north america, be mistaken, wave has been what would be the dangers of a 2nd wave in africa, then the danger, i think beyond are we in fact, we also have to look at the economy. Because if we have an important 2nd wave, youve seen pure, for example, next more. First wave, you need to have an effect and concretely have to go through a lot of down. And we know the impact thats happening having relation of population instead of dying from could be there might be affected by lack of resources. And some of those people are in the being in their condition where he cannot survive. Ok, profess that there is that there is much excitement right now about the, the efficacy of these vaccines that are being developed. But tell us about the potential challenges that we might face in distributing and administrate the vaccine in africa. Just one, your experience with the bolo, at vaccine, for example. You know, during the 1st time we were using the one i felt like scene hans to be used under my it was 80 degrees and then we were using treat countries. And it was a very big challenge, know how to rule out these vaccines or african countries be different . You need to choose region vaccines, i think between our environment. So we talk about the challenge, the courtship. We were out of go for a vaccine that can be transported, i dont know my temperature, but also released to look at if you just do 90 percent of if you can see for a vaccine for a disease that affects people like us. When we look at how our drug is like one or 2 percent, thats not, thats not a lot, especially if we dont know. So i think africa it would be mall, introducing the vaccine should walk in should be using our population. Ok. Professor yeppoon, thank you for that insight. Looking a fossil will vote in president ial and legislative elections on sunday. This is a mid is still a to extremist violence thats killed, more than 2000 people this year and displaced some 11000000 people from their homes, the incumbent, russia burra, is seeking a 2nd term and is widely expected to win the boreas main challenges break, who has held several ministerial posts and was the runner up in the 2015 elections and boyle, who has been endorsed by former long serving president. Oh boy is seen as a boris main content. But the elections aged him as he is already being questioned, as the violence has cut off large parts of the country. Even people unable to cost ballots another day. Another early start for bernadette trying to provide for 4 children means spending most of her time here. But theres not much to sell the main fraiche stop working, so she can sell fish or rice, that just doesnt work. There is no money in this country, and i cannot afford the repairs that either way, there is no guarantee shall have customers. With an absolute militant attacks, people are keeping together what they have their jihad, this is the poverty. This must stop. I want to take care of my children better. Death is one of so many in the country trying to survive with very little hundreds of thousands dont even have a home displaced in their own country. They are clustered on the outskirts of the city. More than 1000000, people have fled their homes for this year, due to spiraling violence. Thats twice as many as it was at the start of 2020. And these people here have little or no chance of casting their votes in the upcoming elections. But at the same time, they are the ones who most wants to build and peace in this country. The government of incumbent president couple e says that nearly half of the countrys 13 regions have little to no access to voting. Because its unsafe. Does not want to delay the elections, but how can the winner be a true reflection of the peoples choice when hundreds of thousands of potential voters do not have the chance to participate . She says, the election itself is legitimate. The question is whether the outcome will be election will take place on sunday, november 22nd. The crisis could start on november 23rd. So if there is voter fraud, if the results are not compliant with what the people put in the ballot box. As we could have a crisis now, you dont need 2 or 4 months. All will depend on how the election will be carried out. You stop by the restaurant that was attacked by islamists in 2016, killing 30 people, both locals and foreigners. It serves as a daily reminder to everyone of the point when brooke, enough, tipped into chaos, especially in the north, the Restaurant Owner decided to stay. He says so that the jihadists cannot win. He also decided to stop talking on camera. Too much to bear for his family since that fateful day. But better now that would not hesitate to leave. Shes already had to do that in the past, 2016, she left without her family to neighboring to with everything. She did wrong, things were not working out here, so i thought i would go there and see. But after a month, it did not regard either. I do all of this for my children. Her husband does not earn much either from his job as an assistant in a shop. Its tough to get over the whole. I adore my children. They are a gift of god, but im too young to handle you for children. I want to see them happy, and this is hard, hard for me. Better know that, like many others will try to leave. Again for a whole long this time, its unclear what if certain, hardly anyone here expects life to get better after the election. And that is it for now, be sure to check out the stories on forward slash africa. Also on facebook and on twitter today will leave you with pictures off the campaign in fossil till next time, a fine here and more beer. What else is there today . I want to find out what munichs got to offer for trying to come here for education. How about art, history and culture . Some for, well, there. The boss and its a sick guy. You dont need to keep at bay about a bodes well for all the corruption on the force. Im feeling the most human that we can about look. So that means the bottom of the falaise at the last dragon. Those words called the hong kong and thanks im in munich and i want to get up there
