A new negotiators in brussels today as the threat of a no deal scenario is the. Last think of this guy the next time youre tempted to lit up and follow the dip to find work of the chinese crude town stripping this cute pristine. Im rebecca riches welcome to the program several german states have now moved closer to a hard lock down as high corona virus infection rights threaten to overwhelm hospitals one of the countrys leading Health Institutions is recommending a 2 way cod lockdown nationwide starting on Christmas Eve under the current lockdown restrictions restrictions will be eased in the several parts of germany between christmas and the new year and many Health Experts say tougher precautions during these holidays will be crucial to saving lives. With the Christmas Shopping season in full swing many people are probably thinking more about presents than hospitals but statistics say more than 4000 patients are being treated for cope with 19 and germanys intensive care units due to its high number of infections saxony has taken a decisive step. Sensually schools and Daycare Centers will be closed from this monday december 14th. Germanys Influential National academy of sciences leopold diena recommended that the Holiday Season be used to impose a heart lockdown across the country this would include lifting the otherwise Compulsory School attendance from december 14th and banning all groups sporting and cultural events access to public spaces would also be more restricted from christmas until at least january 10th and. If we do not shut down and the infection numbers continue to climb then we will probably have to impose even stricter measures for an even longer period this lockdown as a kind of investment also in the economy so that we can ease restrictions again in january or february the chairman of the state premier conferences calling for new subsidies programs should businesses be forced to shut down again. The programs we already have would certainly have to be more flexible so that businesses that are affected by further measures can also be covered by these support programs. A meeting between the federal and State Governments concluded that the states can unilaterally impose stricter measures. And they have political reporter julia daley is with me from a parliamentary studio. Strict a lockdown certainly looking likely is it inevitable and if so when. Dont know yet if and when it will happen but calls for. The federal government and the State Governments to come together and decide on for the restrictions are becoming louder now only 2 weeks ago did chancellor merkel and the state leaders the so and what would happen over christmas and this was meant to hold over the holidays and they were only meant to meet again on january 4th but now we see things are changing as the coronavirus numbers stay high and weve reached a Record Number of deaths and some states have already gone gone it alone like bavaria and saxony introducing tougher restrictions will have to see if there will be an agreement as to nationwide measures and further restrictions on christmas is obviously an important holiday for millions across the world but in germany particularly special holiday is the government going to be able to get people on board to go into a Strict Lockdown and possibly miss out on celebrations it is an important holiday here in germany it is an occasion for families and friends to come together and for people to enjoy some days of relaxation and it is also the most important religious holiday in the country so obviously it is difficult for many to be in lockdown over christmas polls from last weeks show that a majority of germans are in favor of easing of restrictions over christmas but its a different story for new years or around 70 percent think that christian restrictions should stay in place over the new years celebration and we see that also reflected in how some state leaders are going ahead some have decided to introduce restrictions only after Christmas Day so that families can gather and celebrate this very important holiday here want julia thank you judy a sound to me from a parliamentary studio. And lets bring in due to be reported to raise atop a whos in bavaria one of the hardest hit states in germany today is that you grew up in nuremberg how is the situation where you are now. Well rebecca as you can probably see behind me its very quiet at the moment usually at this time of the year this Central Market square and old city is very busy with the annual cliff which is one of the oldest and most famous Christmas Markets in the world that of course fell victim to the pandemic this year and with infection rates still very very high. Variance are now asked to stay at home and only go outside if they have a good reason to do so for example for Grocery Shopping to go to the doctor or to go to work and she a number infection rates especially high so a few additional measures put in place now with a disaster situation declared. Now theres a ban on alcohol in Public Places students from grade 8 on do not go to school anymore from today but learned tome and theres also a nighttime curfew that kicks in at 9 pm every day no price things certainly dont get there why is the very breaking ranks with the rest of the country. Well because the various been hit very hard by this pandemic and harder than most other regions in germany from the start thats why its regional premier. Is usually among the 1st to call for stricter measures and also to impose them for example here number at the moment more than 180 people are being treated with covert 19 in hospitals and while that number might not sound that high its 3 times higher than in spring during the 1st wave of the pandemic and hospitals are already at full capacity over the past weekend for the 1st time ever patients had to be moved from hospitals in them back to hospitals in surrounding areas to get them the care they need so that was a 1st and all of a very every 20 minutes someone dies from covert 900 so the State Government said we cannot accept that and we have to act now and what about the people youve been speaking to how are they taking it. Well people in this proud of germany not prone to emotional outbursts of any sort and so theyre taking this one too with composure i spoke to the police and they told me they havent had any problems in forcing the rules. And they certainly do not expect that to change with todays tightening of the Lockdown People i spoke to of course suffer from this pandemic but they also know the Current Situation this city is in so theyre willing to play along and with infection rates that high at the moment some of them even told me they would favor even stricter measures to finally make the rates come down which is something this socalled soft lockdown in germany so far has failed to achieve the right to raise a thank you to raise a trapper speaking to us from the very city of nuremberg. Virus numbers a climbing in turkey as well which now ranks 4th globally in the highest number of daily cases doctors there are sounding the alarm intensive care units in hospitals are overcrowded they say and Health Care Workers at their limit after months of pressure by Health Experts and opposition politicians the government has reintroduced stricter rules to contain the pandemic our correspondent junia hunt has this report. He recommitted all over that even as a celebrating her birthday she turns a 2 day or 2 biggest wishes harry potter cake and meeting her best friends. The latter is more difficult to organize since stricter coronavirus measures have come into force in turkey young people under the age of 20 are only allowed to leave their homes for 3 hours a day.

It looks pretty bleak these days in istanbuls usually very busy neighborhoods restaurants bars many shops closed. Until recently the turkish government only publish the number of call that 19 patients showing clear symptoms and thats why many people here thought turkey was surviving the crisis relatively well but now the authorities have stopped it. Released data on the number of all new infections every day and many are realizing turkey is one of the worst affected countries in the world. The government now reports about 30000. 00 new infections per day. Many of us are angry about how the government is managing the crisis but theres nothing we can do. The government is concerned with its reputation they want to look good that is why there is no transparency almost publishing the need to but they should have informed people much better right from the beginning then everyone would have known what to expect and how to act if you could read it. And recruit in their deals with many covered 1000 patients hes a Family Doctor and belongs to the Turkish Medical Association he says the authorities are still hiding the truly extent of the crisis. We still have a lot more cases than the government says according to our estimates we have about 50260000 new infections per day while our doctors and hospitals are at the absolute limit we have to urgently take radical countermeasures.

British Prime Minister Barak Johnson and e. U. Chief of fun the lion will hold talks in brussels later today as they make a last minute push for a post brecks a trade deal it comes after months of deadlocked negotiations theyd only takes a closer look at what a no deal scenario would maine for the u. K. And the e. U. And whether it matches up to the rosy picture painted by one of its biggest back is we will prosper mightily as an independent free trading nation controlling our own borders or fisheries and sitting already knows about it is that likely to be true. No deal will certainly be bad news for british farmers you terrorists will be slapped on their productions 40 percent or more for fee from them some of them fear of going out of business but producers will also be affected in europe there you countries those of produce those goods will have to reckon with the fact that the demand for these goods from the u. K. Will be simply because its because we become more expensive at the borders expect lorries lined up to the edge of the arisan 10000 trucks crossing the channel every day will need lots of people good gravy for a new customs and security checks medicines and Food Supplies will be affected and just in time delivery is thing of the past new deal will also be a big deal. For venue factories with supply chains in chaos the british car industry for instance would be badly hit terrorists would need to be applied in World Trade Organization terms which could see the u. K. Automotive sector grind to a halt manufacturing is a big deal for a for the u. K. So you know if you start putting tariffs on a tape you know the demand for u. K. Goods is going to drop down and this is what i think is going to make a trade of the u. K. An attractive the battle about fisheries gets a lot of attention if theres no deal the french fishermen like these and borderline you sort of near lose the right to work in british waters and livelihoods with british fishermen on the other hand would get full control of the waters but they sell about 80 percent of the catch to europe with the terrorists coming in their business is likely to sink too its what you call a lose lose situation. Brussels bureau chief alexander phenomena joins me now alexandra high times certainly running out for a deal what are the remaining sticking points that will be debated today. Well there are 3 issues that have been front and center of the trade talks of for the last weeks one of them which are so fishing rights in new u. K. Waters the average issue is how to make sure that the e. U. And u. K. Will be able to resolve their disputes in the future what mechanism has to be put in place and the 3rd issue and this is a real difficult one how to make sure that there will be a fair competition so the European Union wants to have a shared set of rules and regulations with regards to environment workers rights and state aid and the u. K. Is saying we are sovereign country we wants to decide ourselves thats why we have left the European Union so we will see if there is enough political will to agree on those issues once used a the 2 sides did reach an agreement on northern irelands trade arrangements you know its a sign that the u. K. And the e. U. Might find some more Common Ground today. Well this is definitely a positive development its good for ireland the European Union and of course for the u. K. And of course that can help restore some trust in the trade talks help improve the atmosphere here but we also have to say that the reason why the u. K. Has taken back some of some controversial parts of its still mess to can legislate that would reach its previous agreement with the European Union could be the prospect of the new you ass of ministration and joe biden who has taken a very ireland friendly stance and many here say that it could be that Boris Johnson now you know can say look we showed goodwill in this one area you are not compromising it with regards to the trade talks so we are just walking away thats also still possible and we know that that is undesirable and no deal as we had in that report would be a lose lose situation how prepared is the e. U. For that and are in it while the European Commission has said its readiness for no deal with measures that are aimed at keeping basic sanctions operating air travel road transport Financial Services and of course Member States are also preparing germany has said there are hiring extra customs friend thats the same case with friends are also investing in expanding their poor infrastructure but still we have to say if there is an old trade deal between the European Union and the u. K. Experts say we are going to see a lot of chaos disruptions and delays. Will have to see what happens today did a brussel change and it kind of phenomena thanks very much. Humanitarian officials warn that desperately needed and aid has still not reached people in a few years in battled taker a region and those have fled that for those who have fled the fighting face the added risk of a corona Virus Outbreak in neighboring sudan in the 50000 people from ethiopias take rage and have now crammed into refugee camps its fast and in adequate facilities.

Health care facilities are limited. And theres no covert 19 testing or treatment available the refugees call themselves also concerned if it would have a lot of the matter is scary when you see people together they may be infected with corona virus people sit together and do not wear masks of course it is scary you see people always move collectively without masks of course it is scary.
