The 1986 world cup. German chancellor Angela Merkel has announced that restrictions designed to battle. The coronavirus will be tightened and extended into the new year. The restrictions will be temporarily eased over christmas. The number of new cool 1000 cases is no longer rising sharply, but daily deaths have surged to a record high. If the o. P. s Prime Minister has asked the International Community not to interfere in the conflict in his countrys region, his government has warned the regions leaders to surrender or face an assault on their capital. Cities hundreds have already been killed in the government offensive, and many others displays. Youre watching news from berlin, follow us on twitter or instagram at news, or visit our website, w dot com or for almost a month, a partial lockdown has been in effect for all of germany, the restrictions theyve helped to slow down the rate of new corona virus. Infections, but not enough. On tuesday, the number of covered 1000 deaths in one day hit a record high here in germany, and that may be enough to justify a tougher lock down. For weeks the government justified the restrictions this way. Were doing it to save christmas. Tonight, the governments message may be, were doing this to save your lives. Im burnt off in berlin. This is the day. Whatever the goons out, you can have a nice time with the family. Ill be one beaten about 50 percent. No rushing around, no wasting money, nobody drunk all over the place. Its great stuff will not follow you is to play with it to stay healthy, then get you some many people have died as a result of it. They can stay shut. I know my critics, and that includes coming and drinking 2 or 3 mulled wine christmas market. Thats one of my risk and really get busy also coming up, the pandemic forced many people to stay at home for weeks or months at a time. And that has had violent consequences for women and girls. Is the world doing enough to protect them . Its not enough to punish only violence to end than death. You know, we have to focus on psychological aggression on these because if we are only going to react when women are dead and its too late to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and to all of you around the world. Welcome. We begin the day with more pandemic deaths and more pandemic restrictions here in germany. On november 2nd, a nationwide partial lockdown went into effect here at the time the government said closing bars, restaurants and gyms was necessary to stop the exponential growth. In new coronavirus cases breaks the chain of inspections and flatten the curve. And that has happened somewhat. The virus is not spreading exponentially anymore, however, the virus is killing at unprecedented levels. Tuesdays record daily death toll has triggered a warm here in germany. Why is this happening now . 3 weeks into a lockdown. Will a tougher lockdown reduce the mortality rate . Theres going to be naturally some position, its nationally to happen, but it is what it is. You know its, theres no policy thats ever going to be 100 percent approved. I think people, i think, i mean, i dont understand why restriction would be nice for christmas. Perhaps one should stick to them, but i also see what happens with people when they dont know me, im happy. So i cant say much about it, but i just talk about it because i also see how it is in hospitals. Thats where i work. Oh yes, its sad not to celebrate christmas as usual, but how else the measures taken are important and necessary and does always type so is see for more now i want to bring in dr. Maximillian, hes an epidemiologist working on the covert 19 team that germanys shar, its a hospital doctor. Its good to have you on the show. On tuesday, germany recorded its highest daily death toll since the pandemic began. Do we know why the virus is claiming more lives now . You know, i fear it is as easy as it is. Were seeing more cases, so we have to see more deaths. Possibly we also see more cases in the most vulnerable groups. So we see more people dying now, and we have to consider that these people dying now they got infected 4 weeks ago or more. So possibly we will have to face increasing numbers also in the coming weeks. What needs to happen to prevent the mortality rate from increasing . I think the same what we did over the past months, what we should do better reduce transmission, increase health and education, increase testing capacities and protect the most vulnerable groups of the population. Tomorrow is thanksgiving in the United States. People are traveling despite the centers for disease control, advising everyone to stay home. And there is fear that this holiday could become a super spreader event. In the u. S. Here in germany, the coronavirus restrictions they could be eased during christmas. What is the advice from Public Health experts such as yourself could christmas create a new wave of infections here in germany kong, january . I think we have to take it serious that this is possibly the date of the year when young people are me, their grandparents so many of the more vulnerable age groups and cells have to consider that seeing less person on christmas try to take a karen time period before the Christmas Day and least a week. We should have to read the tests directly before the days to Christmas Days. Let me ask you, the german chancellor. She has said that stopping the exponential growth of coronavirus cases, the spread has only been partially successful when you take that and you add to the fact that we know that a vaccine is on the way. Are you worried that in the new year were going to see cases go up again because people are going to let down their guard now we should consider the vaccine as a christmas gift, but we would all have it ready for christmas and also not very early in there, in the new we need millions of billions of people to be vaccinated over the next year. And therefore theres no way out of the stink out for reducing contact and transmission. Dr. 1000000 joining us tonight from the show read today here in germany, doc together, we appreciate your time, your insights tonight. Thank you. Thank you. The transition to a joe biden presidency in the u. S. Is accelerating. On wednesday, the president elect was notified that beginning next monday he will receive the daily security briefing prepared exclusively for the president. The President Trump continues to reject the results of the election. The election that he lost on the international stage, china has now joined other leaders in congratulating biden on his win. Shes in things message to biden included a wish for both nations to establish a win win cooperation. And this week biden announced his picks to fill the top Foreign Policy and National Security jobs. In his administration, they included the veteran diplomat, tony blinken, nominated to become u. S. , secretary of state. Now, we have to proceed with equal measures of humility and confidence humility. Because as the president said, we cant solve all the worlds problems alone. We need to be working with other countries. We need their cooperation. We need their partners. But also confidence. Because america, at its best, still has a greater ability than any other country on earth. To bring others together to meet the challenges of our time or billions words should be music to the ears of european leaders and diplomats for the past 4 years, President Trump attacked an alienated americas allies. That helped germany and france. Find Common Ground on the topic of defense, for example, but well that all be forgotten. Now that and im quoting the president elect, now that america is back, want to discuss the impact of the new old us Foreign Policy here in europe. Im joined tonight by yana to be anyone with the European Council of foreign relations. Its good to have you on the program. We know there is delight in berlin and paris with bidens Foreign Policy plans. How much dread is there . Well, i think looking forward to engage with the new at midspan and this also comes at and to find a compromise with paris to come up with some things like european offer for the americans. Because i think there is broad consensus that we cannot just wait and sit and confide about the concept of strategic autonomy, but not really come up with concrete ideas, how to improve the relationship and what the europeans can bring to the table. We know that donald trump, he alienated americas european allies, and at the same time he drove them towards each other like never before, did me. Yes. And the one hand he did at the other, i think that rift in the transatlantic relationship is always also a rift within europe. Just look at the reactions and sensitivities in europe to the trump presidency, and it was brought up through full of holes in the Baltic States and several times that they felt much more secure than under obama, that they didnt see the problem that lots. And i think that the french president , very often kind of pretends that he speaks on behalf of europe, but never with europe. So i think that yes, we have seen some progress. But also i think the europeans are really alliance on kind of the idea of strategic autonomy are some friends. I want to take a listen to what germanys defense minister said this week. The incoming Us Administration off is a big opportunity for something at the same time. We have to face up to the fact that our capabilities hes in europe still dont match up to our own ambitions. Us still in the same book, the percent found still we fix not building up our own abilities. The more we will be in serious partner for the United States, amid a conscience, i am not strict godless effused president , even off to joe biden, and its the president and his walk. Now if i were a betting man, i would be that the defense minister who we just saw there, i would bet that her position will soften and change significantly. Moves here and where would you put your money . I would put german banks are actually spinning that this moment now, i mean, would you agree with me that the German Defense ministers position is going to soften and change significantly now that we have a different us president . Well i think that a weapon relationship with the pentagon has been not so bad, even under the trump presidency. And i think that the java defense minister, i think it can craft a combo as a, dyed in the wool and transatlantic sis and really wants to make the relationship. Were actually emphasizes all the time that there is no European Security without the u. S. Commitment. And she thinks that we need to step up significantly in order to keep the americans on board. And i agree with her. And i think she has been heard from emphasizing this and also pushing the banks. What spending more and also emphasizing the need that yeah, that we cannot just continue to treat right as we did in the past. Yeah. When it comes to defense, france has its own nuclear arsenal. And you can imagine france surviving without the u. S. Security umbrella. Germany, on the other hand, has no nuclear weapons. Can you imagine germany in a nato without the u. S. Security guarantee . I think there, if you just for europe, i think the u. S. Presence in her own eyes, infector and it takes the actually thats an internal even if the burdens of the past. So i think that the american presence not only to the charity, but also politically country buttes significantly to our security to charity. We cannot replace the United States as a sector he doesnt have nukes and has no plans to quiet them. So for us, nato and the e. U. Remain of the backbones of our Foreign Policy. And nato especially remains the backbone of European Security for jenny young men with the European Council on foreign relations. Mr. Leader. And we appreciate your time in your insights tonight. Thank you. And the United Nations is calling it the shadow pandemic. The number of Coronavirus Infections increased, so did the violence against women and girls. But in the south american country, peru, the disturbing quiets of women and girls was a fact long before the pandemic. And yet just one percent of the abuse cases reported there last year led to a conviction. Women say the countrys Justice System is failing when performer and teacher was 20 years old, she was raped by a theatre instructor using the excuse of helping her to explore art. He made her remove her clothing and then assaulted her. He did the same with 16 other students for 3 years. The group has been fighting to have the man prosecuted. Despite the allegations, the peruvian Justice System concluded there was not enough evidence at the get a letter saying that your case of sexual abuse was closed due to lack of evidence. It makes you listen again and believe what you were told the 1st time. You made the accusation that youre lying, that youre doing it to get attention and that your life is not worth it in peru, gender violence affects all social classes. Equally. Viruses experience inspired these 2 books. Shes a Television Presenter and also a victim of gender violence. Her attacker was her former partner, her case is still waiting to be resolved this. Impunity is like a cancer that eats you up and kills you. Because it doesnt allow things to change, its not enough to punish only violence the ends in death. We have to focus on that slap that we have to focus on psychological aggression. Salahis because if we are only going to react when women are dead, its too late. Yes, im with that. In peru, 66 percent of women have reported being victims of violence are not to contraire us is pushing the parliament to address the issue. Today, a member of congress, she was brutally attacked by her exboyfriend. Now she from no, its an agenda to end the violence inflicted by the state itself. Institutional violence that when a situational violence is violence perpetrated by state agents through the Justice System. For example, police officers, prosecutors judges and medical examiners. I would just doesnt look, there are many cases of people who report file and that at the time of reporting there re victimized blamed. And then some jetted to more violence. But seeing as there have been cases in which the police have accused the victim, and this victim has ended up being victimized again and again. And i mean, to beat him at the payment of the 60000. 00 accusations of abuse against women reported in peru this year. Less than one percent lead to convictions in this palace of justice instead of offering impartiality on laos, impunity. I want to cross over to new york city. Im joined by a media blitz. She is, shes the deputy executive director of the United Nations body and women. Its good to have you on the program. We just saw this report from peru where 2 thirds of women say theyve been subject to violence. How does parun compare with the rest of the world . Oh, look, the rest of the world is not doing that way either. When you look at the data on violence against women, we know that at least 35 percent of women globally have been subjected at some point to the other to violence. And we know that on average, about 150 women die every day from violence. So peru is not alone in having staggeringly large numbers and large incidents of violence against women. Do we know where our women most likely need to be confronted with and subjected to violence . Unfortunately, its the place where you might think they would be safest, which is at home. Domestic violence is the largest part of violence against women, but of course, women can be attacked on the streets, you know, at work and on the internet. So violence has many ways of making itself felt. And in this pandemic, i know weve been shocked numerous times reporting on the fact that these lockdowns, which of the worst families to stay at home, have exacerbated the problem of violence against women. I mean, whats your read in this . I mean, did you expect the pandemic to be violent for women and girls . Well look, those of us who are in the business of dealing with violence against women and on the issues of gender equality, have known for a long time that there was this shadow pandemic. And in fact, its a Public Health crisis that just isnt treated as one. And so we knew that there were very large numbers of women who were subject to violence even before the pandemic, or what the pandemic did was it created the perfect conditions for abuse. Because women more at home were forced to stay at home for medical reasons and oh, they put the treat as were at home. So we saw this exists, tarnishing spike in cases. But i guess the Silver Lining is that it led to a lot of people actually being able to speak about it, including heads of state and government who came out and talked about this almost for the 1st time as a major Public Policy issue. But has this as the pandemic has it changed the way you go about battling violence against women and girls . I think what its done is it has created a sense of urgency. The secretary general of the u. N. Issued a call asking for a cease fire at home and asking for an end to violence against women. Im happy to, say 146 countries actually answered the astris call. We had u. N. , women put out policy briefs and documentation showing just how widespread the abuse is. And that has created some momentum for action. Of course, you know, all of those though the rubble is going to hit the road. When we see whether countries actually implement some of the things they talk about, you know, i mean, you say 146 countries answer the call, but very have to be more than that, right . Would you describe the global efforts at the moment as, as satisfactory our, you know, i think more needs to be done. I think we need to see more financing go to words this issue. Governments need to follow through and not just make lofty statements and Global Public arena as they need to make sure that Budget Resources are allocated to words. Those that are essential services for survivors are kept alive and are funded as essential services. Businesses need to step are, this is the whole of society effort. It cant just be done by governments, but they do have a disproportionately Important Role to play. Anita, see youre with the women here. We appreciate your time tonight and since you are, in the u. S. Let me take this opportunity to wish you a happy and healthy thinks giving tomorrow. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much and the same to you. Thank you.
