Future to u. K. Watchers and this one of this restocking points here if theres no deal before the end of the deadline what happens. Well i think its fair to assume that were going to see a lot of chaos because both sides dont seem to be heard for such a worst Case Scenario then of course if there is no trade deal we are going to see tariffs on imports from the exports to the we are going to see customs checks and that could mean delays in even delivery of medicines for example we can see. Of florries way to to to cross the border and very a lot of issues would be affected if there is no trade deal from. Traveling in general to even you know transporting your pets from from the u. K. To the european. Phenomenon thank you. In venezuela the socialist president Nicolas Maduro has held a gigantic election win at hands in control of the National Assembly and cement his position and. Almost 70 percent of the vote was just 31 percent opposition parties called for a boycott international condemned the vote saying the results did not reflect the will of the venezuelan people selfproclaimed acting president who. Said the vote was a fraud. Of the people are the ones who commit fraud do ruin his regime have lost the popular vote the majority of us want change in venezuela dont be surprised if they try to advance their results in the coming days of december because this election has done them no good. Solution from did obvious latin america affiliate International Observers like the e. U. And the organization of american states agree with the b. Election was whats at stake for the country well this election wont be recognized either by that you the u. S. And other Main International actors this means that the diplomatic isolation of my duro will continue and maybe even worse than this also means that the blockade india and the International Markets will remain as well as the sanctions that have been imposed to the country to venezuelans in their everyday lives not much will change the economic crisis will stay and they wont see any improvement in terms of for example human rights a position in venezuela seems very divided and fragmented wised up well they are for granted because their projects failed basically why doesnt manage to establish this alternative regina that he was hoping for he lost a lot of strength when he attempted this military uprising last year that we can tim and the opposition started to look for different strategies he and his parliamentarians will have to evacuate the National Assembly on january 5th when the new one takes over and he might even be persecuted and forced to flee the country as many other of the opposition leaders have been forced to but this election is set against a growing humanitarian crisis where poverty is rampant how big is the support for moderate socialists really well we saw a very loyal turnout in this in this election thats because many people didnt think that their voice would make a change. There are still some supporters of the socialist project of the child the small people that believe that kind of a crisis is only to do with the sanctions that have been imposed to the country but very reality is that people are so worried about how to survive how to get food and how to manage their lives the police the politics arent arent that important nowadays theyre more worried about how to feed their families what does it mean for the socialists to win control of the National Assembly well that they are taking over the very last institutions that have been democratically elected and that had a real opposition because they have an opposition now but its a fake opposition and that will only strengthen the grip of power of maduro of this of 3 tarion regime it is an important symbolic win but it doesnt change in real terms because they had already legislative powers with this Constitutional Assembly they established in 2017 so really in terms of legal better or some new your powers its not its not a real change so he has cemented his. 4 children as well aware that where does this go well the main problem is how to tackle the economic crisis the majority one has thought about how to consolidate more support from his allies like iran russia and china but they dont really have the intention to to invest that much and as well that they are only theyre also looking for their relationship with other partners around the world and he doesnt have a strategy on how to rebuild the oil industry that is what they have been relying on for so long you know all of americas best thank you.

As take a look now at some of the latest developments in the coronavirus pandemic the Serum Institute of india says it has applied for emergency use authorizations of its Coronavirus Vaccine in India Britain says it will administer the 1st doses of the bio and take phase of vaccine on tuesday Health Care Workers and seniors will be 1st in line uncovered 19 infections in germany are still trending upward despite the partial lockdown imposed in early november Health Departments reported more than 12000 new infections about 1000 more than on monday last week and in the german state of the varian new corona virus infections remain among the highest in the country after a crisis meeting on sunday the Regional Government has decided to toughen restrictions further starting wednesday bavarians will be asked to stay at home with only a few exceptions. The state primary very a market has long been wanting to implement tougher restrictions. His state has recorded the countrys highest coronavirus death toll and after weeks of consistently high numbers despite new restrictions he says its time to go further. The largest lyta the situation is unfortunately serious and its simply not enough we must do more we have to take action that is why i convened a special coronavirus Cabinet Meeting today so that we can implement various measures before christmas miles for their own office thats a big name said announce a number of new measures as of wednesday people in bavaria will only be able to leave their homes with good reason for example to go to work for the doctor to go shopping or for exercise curfews from 9 pm to 5 am are planned for hotspots with the highest infection rates and there will be stricter rules and checks on the borders with austria and the czech republic. Schools will remain open but 13 year olds and above will only be expected to attend on alternate weeks. With the move said and his bavarian cabinets are breaking ranks with the other state premiers in germany. Kovac 19 restrictions are up to the individual states but so far theyve agreed to take a unified approach. The 16 federal states have agreed in recent weeks to a number of stricter measures as part of the countrys current lockdown. It was you that chancellor Angela Merkel has often said she thinks the steps dont go far enough so while the new measures might be welcome to the chancellor in berlin there were mixed reactions on the streets of bavaria. Numbers arent going down i think its necessary to this making it this tough i think its a bit excessive but i think of my workplace for example where i sit with sometimes up to 30 colleagues and then i can only spend new years eve with 5 people. With new infection rates remaining consistently high in germany the question is if other or all of Germany Special states will now follow bavarians lead more on this story lets bring in Political Correspondent juliet daily the german states follow but obviously. Well they are premier of bavaria markets so there has always been one of the leaders in germany who has often pushed for tougher restrictions and has gone ahead now and implemented of those restrictions that are significantly harsher than those we see nationwide and this is causing some debate in the country also because countrywide we dont really see coronavirus cases dropping significantly with the current partial lockdown we see cases numbers case numbers flattening but not really going down and the toll remains quite high and we now see other state leaders and politicians calling for stricter measures especially in the hot spot areas where the incidence of coronavirus is higher so we do see some warming up towards positions happening in the Political Landscape here in germany was happening that very why isnt doing as well as others. Well bavaria has been hit hard by the virus already during the 1st wave its where the 1st coronavirus case in germany actually occurred and it continued to be heavily hit also for example after the summer break so between august and september and we currently see as one of the states in germany with the highest incidence of coronavirus cases per 100000 inhabitants the situation is quite serious and even. Acknowledged that he said that the current numbers in bavaria are not acceptable and thats why even though nobody really wants to implement a harsher lockdown it is currently necessary but we have to keep in mind though is yes bavaria is not doing that well but germany wide we dont see the numbers improving significantly and that is of concern throughout the country germany wide also people are looking forward to easing off was directions for christmas and the new year is that still going to happen well the issue now is not only whether the current partial lockdown is working but also whether the expected loosening of restrictions for christmas is too much of a risk that was loosening this was something was decided on only 10 days ago by german chancellor im going to makan and the state premiers and it was meant to stay that way over the holidays and a new meeting was planned to reevaluate the situation on january 4th now on sundays said he thinks it is necessary to meet before christmas to decide what to do over the holiday period and other members of germanys political sphere including other state leaders are saying that it definitely is necessary to meet before christmas so we might be seeing a new meeting happening before the holidays. Correspondent julia so delhi thank you jim. Germany and poland today marking the 50th anniversary of a historic agreement the treaty of warsaw was a cold war nonaggression pact that guaranteed germanys acceptance of polands postwar borders west germanys chancellor at the time villa brandts traveled to communist poland to sign the agreement but his visit became known for an even more historic moment at the memorial for the warsaw ghetto uprising against the nazis were on went down on his knees a deeply symbolic gesture seen as a mark of atonement for the 6000000 poles killed by germanys nazi regime during world war 2. Faced with the abyss of german history and the burden of the millions who have been murdered i did what we humans do when words fail us. Thats how willy brandt described the moment thats come to be known as the genuflection of warsaw. It was an act of atonement for the sins of the nazis of the nearly half a 1000000 jews and present in the war so ghetto most were killed in total nearly 6000000. 00 poles perished today a plaque commemorates the historic gesture the square where it happened renamed in honor of the german chancellor half a century later the meaning of that moment still echoes throughout warsaw. He was begging for forgiveness it was a gesture to ask us to forgive the germans for everything they did to us during the war you know. In this was a person who broke certain to boos a person who broke barriers he was brave enough to make this extraordinary gesture. Should the 1st above all it pave the way for a dialogue between germany and poland it marks the beginning of reconciliation years after the end of world war 2 when there was still a lot of animosity on both sides. At home brands gesture was met with hostility nearly 50 percent sort as a sellout of National Interests at a time when many still sought to reclaim former eastern territories dogs hopes were dashed when brown signed the treaty of warsaw formally accepting the existing border and recognizing the polish state a chapter thats gone down in german history as a game changer. It was not just in the what can you tell us about this picture yet it is worth it if thats really planned to kneeling before the memorial to the warsaw ghetto uprising that marked the turning point in west germany policy towards Eastern Europe because you know this was obviously a significant gesture by the federal republic of germany especially because it was made by someone who himself had resisted in arties almost forced into exile might check that this was a moment of reconciliation and or maybe rather an admission of guilt. In poland plants act of humility marked the beginning of a close friendship but that changed when the populist law and Justice Party rose to power in 2015. 70 years after. The war they say they want more than what they call empty gestures they want reparations from germany lawmakers in berlin have refused such demands many here dismiss it as an attempt by the polish nationalist government to score cheap political points by stirring up anti german resentment but some are more open to the idea how many feel like maybe germany didnt take the easy way out because our polish neighbors were so quick to accommodate us maybe its not such a bad idea to talk about reparations just as we discussed erecting a memorial here in berlin the polish me dims of the german occupation. 50 years on the relationship between germany and poland looks as bleak as the weather did on that fateful december day but id suggest just serves as a reminder that where theres a will theres a way.
