Weeks of fighting Prime Minister abi ahmed said, thousands of militia and special forces had surrendered. This follows accusations that a group killed at least 600 people in a rampage.

News or visit our website, w dot com. Americans are gathering today for things giving. Is this a super spreader event in the making . Will know when a few weeks in the United States and here in europe, the coronavirus pandemic is now at a perilous point. New infections and coated 1000 deaths are swelling just as the holidays begin. Germany plans to ease its lockdown in december in time for christmas. What will that mean for january . A new year of hope or a new year of record hospitalizations. I bring golf in berlin. This is the day off. It warms your heart, we call it a mark of the 4000 we raise it before its down to me and my crew. We were costly at this and i wanted to come by and see you then of thanksgiving to thank you walter. Or do you think theres something that covert 19 at all . I dont think its a real thing just be unsafe and playing a smart. We both have had to leave it so that theres so efficiently as real to work that in your hand. Dinner at the couple days, as of yet somebody is playing and will be when we sleep well at night, knowing that we help people also coming up, stopping the pandemic, the challenges of vaccinating everyone everywhere. 10000000000 doses of vaccine is based on a World Population of 7800000000 people. So its a great challenge for everyone involved and to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and to all of you around the world. Welcome, we begin the day struggling to control the coronavirus. Yet again, germany started its nationwide partial lockdown on the 2nd because the virus was spreading like wildfire almost 4 weeks later. Exponential growth in new infections has been stopped, but the virus has not. Late on wednesday, german chancellor Angela Merkel announced plans to tighten and extend the walk down until december 20th. In order to allow families and friends to observe christmas together. The walk down will be eased until the start of the new year, provided the pandemic is under control. If not, fear of the virus will mean for christmas. What it has meant for most days this year. Another day spent avoiding people another day spent of warding. The chancellor Angela Merkel explained the governments decision to extend the current partial lockdown and partly tighten it up to the german parliament. Its no secret that the chancellor would have liked to see stricter measures taken to fight the pandemic. But because of the federalist system, she had to find Common Ground with state leaders that sniff that the worst has been avoided. Our Health System hasnt been overwhelmed. And so far, when philip lighted the resulting economic, social and ethical consequences, but thats the 1st success. But its by no means a lasting one. The far right opposition party, a f. D. Alternative for germany objected saying the restrictions were damaging to both society and the constitution. You just get how you caused the most damage to our economy, ordinary people, and their Constitutional Rights through the socalled Civil Protection act, and record time. Youve written yourself a blank check for disregarding fundamental rights for purpose, while you were making noise, were looking for solutions. We are problem solvers and various roles and functions. And thats the point to find solutions to keep this country pulling together in the same direction. And thats what distinguishes us from you. The current measures helped to significantly reduce contact between people and slowed growth of infections. But social contacts will be further tightened until december 20th. The hope is that staying a part now well allow families to come together over christmas and the new year surveys show most people understand it might have undermined what can we do, no matter what the government says. There are always be people who are against it. Because its really kind of, i think its very sensible to be honest. I think the measure should be tougher for your idea of a foothold after figure will i trust the government to make clever decision was im happy that theyve consulted scientist and an ethical commission. And i hope that means that the best possible decisions will be taken. Chancellor merkel acknowledged that the coming months will be difficult, but she said working together, germany would get through this crisis. By the time christmas arrives, germany will know more about the impact of a major holidays on controlling the virus. Thanks to what is happening now in the United States today is thanksgiving. One of the most important us holidays, the day before thanksgiving is the most heavily traveled day of the year in america. But this year, Public Health officials advised people to stay home or risk creating a super spreader event. Or not everyone heeded that warning after more than 8 months of social distancing. Many are simply eager to see family and friends again. 50000000 people are expected to drive or fly by this coming sunday. 95 percent of those are expected to travel by car, only 5 percent are flying this year, but that is still 2 and a half 1000000 people. Well, it is a traditional thanksgiving to visit the grandparents, but this year, grandmothers, grandfathers, and many elderly will spend the holiday alone. A washington based Restaurant Owner is trying to combat the loneliness by feeding the stomach and the soul. Thanksgiving celebrations have always been about food. Lots of food, cornbread, stuffing Sweet Potatoes and then of course the turkey they say people game 7 pounds over thanksgiving. This one will probably do it this year though Many Americans will eat alone. Corona has turned cooking and eating with others into a danger, especially for the elderly. This is where mark buker and his team stepped in. We want to make sure that the older population had a thanksgiving meal. Because theres one meal thats really hard to make, but not impossible to make for one person. And thats thanksgiving. So we can make it for them. Marc posted his offer of a free meal for people over 70 on social media. He was expecting about 200 people would reply, but 5000 asked him for dinner. We found a group of our population that starving and they are scared to death to leave their apartments. And as a result, they just dont want. I think its giving dinner. Theyre depending on a thanksgiving dinner. So he called on his restaurant, stuff to get it working. The mutes are paid by donations, volunteers bringing a secret of solidarity, as well as dinner, just thanked me. Thank you. I often went to family or to my friends house for many years. And this year, no wedding cant go anywhere. How do you feel about this . Pretty sad is that, you know, locked in a house for a long time and youre by yourself. But you know, its you in the cat, just me and the cats. So thats how i spending it. And now im going to have the meal. Its a very period when you cant buy food the way you use to buy food. I just picked in the bag. 20 looked wonderful. But im a bright moment in hard times and new priorities for a Restaurant Owner. This isnt my job. This is my responsibility. Good news on this thanksgiving . Well, lets take the story now to washington d. C. My colleague, carly did 2 more years she is working on this thanksgiving. Carlina happy thanksgiving to you. Happy thanksgiving to you, friend. We know that fewer people are traveling in america this week, but Public HealthOfficials Say the numbers are still too high to me. I mean, youve been on the belt what have you observed . , and we know that the c. D. C. , the centers for Disease Control and prevention that i have posted already a long week ago at least of the guidelines for as safely celebrating thanksgiving. This includes of course, wearing a mask, keeping gatherings small and if possible outside. And they also say older adults or a person with sort of medical conditions that they should completely avoid in person gatherings with people who do not live in their household. And this makes it, of course, very difficult, brant because as you know, all things giving is precisely about family and friends. And this includes of course, elderly people. So this is a, i feel so also a bit sad here in the United States for a lot of families that their risk is huge. We have to say that the United States has already over 12000000 cases to report and more than 260000 that some this is really worrying. Yeah, i mean, i speak from personal experience. Cant be with my family because of the pandemic this year. What about the nations airports . Are we seeing a lot of people slowing . Well, the c. D. C. Has also recommended against traveling this week and for a thanksgiving especially. But still millions have traveled through the airports in the United States, enjoy this stage with their families, students, parents, siblings, or just families who want to gather as they have always been doing. They dont want to change anything in their lives because of covert 19 and dr. Anthony, the countrys top and take Infectious Disease expert. Remember, he said that people in airports that they are going to get the United States into even more trouble than we are right now. Already. We want to yesterday to Dulles International airport in washington, and we talked to some off the travelers. Lets take a look. Brant travels great new problems whatsoever. Everybody that ive seen, you know, Period Pension to the social distancing everything, everybody. So there wasnt any problems whatsoever. Travel was actually a whole lot easier than what i thought it was going to be. Well, shes seeing people, some of them feel comfortable and the same. It is a brand that traveling seems to be safe, but its not really you dont know who you might be inspecting. Also a very important to consider the symptoms after covert 19. What if someone already had the its the, this infection. These are also symptoms of have to be taken very seriously. And these are things that a lot of people who we talked to yesterday at the airport are not considering. You know, its a very good point to make. One of the messages that americans are hearing the messages from the president , president elect on this thanksgiving day, really could hardly be more different. Youre completely right, brant. But this isnt really surprising, is it . I mean, donald trump, as we know, has not been taking this pandemic seriously from day number one on. And so by then he called for salutary he, during a speech yesterday, he was making people feel that he knows how difficult it is to keep the dissent in, in a day like today the day that is supposed to be full of hats and gatherings and not really a social distance. All right, to be used earlier. With the latest tonight on this thanksgiving in washington, d. C. Charlie would thank you very much, have a happy and a healthy thanksgiving for much of the world is hoping the Coronavirus Crisis will end when the banks scenes announced over the last 2 weeks are finally made available. A number of countries say they expect to start vaccinating the most vulnerable and those Frontline Health care workers next month. No better is an ambitious goal, the logistical challenge of ensuring that everyone gets ishant. It is enormous. How do you vaccinate the whole world against kobe . Of 19, up to 10000000000 doses will be needed, say logistics experts. So you know yet, and 10000000000 doses of vaccine is based on a World Population of 7800000000, people with the aim of achieving herd immunity of 60 percent. Many vaccinations require 2 shots, so its a great challenge for everyone involved. But harvey, in ocular adding billions of people worldwide requires a gigantic effort. D. H. L. Estimates it will take around 15000 flights and 200000 pallet transports, and several 1000000 individual transports in cold boxes. The vaccine has to be stored at least at fridge, temperature. Some of the new vaccines need super cold temperatures, and no interruption of the coal chain is allowed, not sharing transport on the pallets, not sharing temporary storage at airports, and not one being delivered in individual boxes to billions of people worldwide. There are still many problems to be solved. Refrigerated transport in planes for example, is complicated. And the work of googling has to be carried out with dry ice, both in the air transport and in express shipments. Dry ice is a hazard in air freight because it sublimes in this place is the air we breathe. So a lot of things need to be considered in detail. And how do you access remote regions . Those without an airport nearby or roads on which refrigerated trucks can drive and thats why some of the 6 who tried to be as involved at the best possible. So we had legal stalls and example, would it make sense for the balls to be used in order to speed up that they vary all seems anymore to the case. Yes. But then do we have enough people enough left yet people there, you know, to be able to do the vaccine in a safe way . In the industrialized countries infrastructure is considered to be well developed in other countries. Cold Chain Logistics are more problematic or practically impossible due to heat or poor transportation routes. The vaccine is likely to be delivered 1st to countries with good infrastructure. If you were to ask me what im glad my largely bottoms to be. If i dont like my leddy but i want to be going to battle on a developing country, i definitely want them to be an independent company, because then they would have embedded scientists. Well getting the vaccine on time. Transporting the vaccine at speed and at the right temperature logistics experts say its the challenge of the century. You know, a lot of questions remain about how to vaccinate the world. My next guest has some answers and solutions as steve karate is the chief medical officer and Health Solutions director at esrey. That is the Worlds Largest provider of Geographic Information systems, and she joins me tonight from sacramento, california. Ms. Gorani, welcome to the program and happy thanksgiving to you. We appreciate you joining us on this big holiday. Thank you very much. Im very glad to be here and its an important discussion. A lot of our viewers will be familiar with the Johns HopkinsUniversity Global coded 19 map. Now that map is based on your platform. We all have used the data, especially because it is Real Time Data to do, you know, had anything like this. Had it been an anything like this been done before work not at this scale, i would say the, the Johns Hopkins dashboard really took off and actually has its place in history now has the most viral map based application in the world. So i dont think weve seen this level of real time information, global information, and particularly about health information. So its pretty new yet. And so many people have come to rely on it from the beginning of the pandemic all the way up until today. How can this Technology Help get vaccines to everyone around the world quickly . Sure, well at its most basic level, Johns Hopkins dashboard shows you what is happening in the places you care about where you live, where your family lives. In the same way, we take place information and apply it to the problem of vaccine distribution, which as everybody can imagine is a geographically focused kind of event. So understanding what are the facilities that are able to store the vaccine given all the different requirements for cold storage . So some facilities can store trickle hold, some can store regular refrigerated vaccines. What is the capacity of those facilities . How accessible are they geographically in terms of drive time or walk time, and where are the priority populations . Because, of course, we want to vaccinate everybody, but we need to vaccinate in a particular order in order to enter the pandemic as quickly as possible. These are all geographic question, so its a good point that you make vaccinating. Everyone gives coronavirus will be one of the biggest logistical challenges to ever face humanity. Do you have any practical experience with the use of Geographical Information Systems and rolling out vaccination programs . Sure. Weve been doing this kind of work for years, but recent experience, we saw one of the local jurisdictions in the state of minnesota, Carleton County doing drive through flu vaccine clinic as kind of a practice in using our software to make that process more efficient. And they found that they could vaccinate a lot more people when they used mobile applications to do some of the paperwork. And they had dashboards to monitor the times that people went through. We understand that you were a high ranking data official at the California Department of Public Health. So we know if theres anywhere in the world thats ready to use these new technologies that it has to be california. But what about places in the world where the technology in the Data Infrastructure is more of a challenge . What do you do there . Well, i think, you know what you can do you start where you are. You use different kinds of methods like crowdsourcing. You pull the data that you have, and sometimes maybe rather than having a facility, be able to administer the vaccines, you use a mobile outreach van and you take back scenes to where theyre needed. Theres going to be different strategies all around the world. But im optimistic that its possible and that those different strategies will also apply within the, u. S. Right . Because you have areas that are removed from the grid as much as some places you would think of in other continents. Absolutely, i mean we have a lot of people who live in as you say, very rural areas. We have our indigenous tribes who will also need access to the vaccine. And then there are other kinds of populations that may not be rural, but theyre harder to reach people who may be experiencing homelessness. They will still need to be vaccinated if they choose to be as well. All right, well mr. Ragab, we certainly wish you all the best success with this. Please come back and talk with us again as that. But as we get closer to deploying the vaccine, as the karate from sri in california was brought in. Thank you very much and have a happy and healthy thanksgiving. Thank you so much. Argentina has declared 3 days of mourning for the superstar footballer diego maradona. He died on wednesday at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack. Tens of thousands of people gathered in Central Board as audience outside the president ial palace where lives in stay huge crowds are expected to pay their respects over the next 3 days. Passing the wooden casket draped with argentinas flag and jerseys from maradona as number 10, many considered our donna to be the best player of all time. Well for more now, im joined by diego maradona, his former agent john smith. He joins me from england tonight. Mr. Smith, its good to have you on the program, you represent it from 19171900 during the height of his career. Why do you think that he was loved so much . Just not only in argentina, but everywhere. See, you know, as much as many people in football it is, has its roots in tribalism. Its a loss to greet. He was just so good. He did things that other people didnt do and he had an Energy Around him. And it was so, you know, theres Something Special about some people that have and he believes that he had a he had a divinity subdued, useful way that he did people who were that that convinced that they were the mission. I think maybe go sprinkles a little bit special dust on them before they come down here and he could walk into a room that was in restaurants with it in various places. That didnt seem to know what peoples heads would turn. Just had something he had to possess. So i think he had this immense talent nuanced on the world stage. And he never from galts where it came from and he promoted the unfortunates. Well, you say that he had this, this divinity about him. We know that his fans wanted a lot from him. Do you think that his decline in the latter part of his life should it maybe serve as a cautionary tale about the values that society places on sports . I mean, should we maybe stop expecting the greats like don to be more dolgoff . You know, its not just sportsman and theyre all sportsmen that, that somehow that expectation and its this sort of says here it happens. I see it happen. Ive been very fortunate in my life to have mingled and represented some geniuses in the sports news table. And you look at characters like john lennon, who wrote some of the greatest music ever. And even he came to different parts of his life where hes had couldnt comprehend any more in a manner that he did cheat everything. Unfortunately, unfortunately were out of time on time tonight. But we appreciate you taking the time to share your memories with john smith, former agent of the well, the days almost done, the conversation continues online. Youll find us on twitter either. You go to the news, you can follow me at print off t. V. Every member, whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. Have a happy and healthy thanksgiving. Everyone to the point.

Russia millon else with him, her to being gone because ugly as well. I assume if i had known that the boat would be that small, i never would have gone on a trip.
