Retailers and consumers not on the what they are facing in these last couple of weeks of the year it will be an exceptionally quiet Holiday Season but the hope is that that will also be true for hospitals. And Political Correspondent so when young joins me now simon welcome and almost full lockdown has been an announced as expected what are the main takeaways. Well i think the main thing is that the run up to christmas this year in germany will look very different from previous years and its incredibly drastic measure closing down nonessential retail from the 16th of december the time when a lot of people do their Christmas Shopping and that will mean an enormous amount for many businesses as well as individuals but the government is responding with this huge packages the finance minister said theyre costing between 10 and 12000000000. 00 euros a month and the thing there is that that if that will it will cost that that much if the lockdown runs through to the middle of january as currently planned nobody knows if it might go on beyond that so its a hugely difficult and controversial move but the regional states and the chancellor have come together today to agree this package and thats an important step they announced majerus include exceptions for the Christmas Holidays now from an epidemiological standpoint thats certainly not advisable why is the government so reluctant to impose tighter restrictions there. Well i think there is that desire to have some kind of christmas break but you have to say its much less than baseball were expecting they were hoping for a more significant lockdown in along a more significant easing of a lot dan rather and a longer lasting one now itll just be for 3 days and youll just be able to meet 4 individuals from outside your direct household so it will be a fairly cozy christmas for some people but not not its not much cheer i think people want christmas but they realize this year theyre not going to get it in the normal way at the beginning of the pandemic germany was hailed for managing to keep infections and deaths lower than many other countries this month were seeing one grim milestone after another where and when a country go wrong simon yeah well thats a very difficult question to answer a lot of explanations have been offered back in the spring when the infections 1st appeared germany seemed to have it under control the Health Care System was responding very well and then over the summer the disease moved from older people into the younger population perhaps there was some laxity their unwillingness to follow the rules now in the autumn and winter its moved back into the older population deaths have been rising some people have blamed the changing rules but also the patchwork of different rules across the country and in part its to fix that the leaders have come together today to agree this nation wide plan i mean young thank you very much for your analysis.

We have accordingly mandated our negotiators to continue the talks and to see within reach an agreement can be reached even at this late stage the negotiations continue here in brussels. Earlier we asked our correspondent in brussels Marina Strauss for her take on the extension. Fundal and chance actually released a statement to gather today and they both said this phone call today was useful though there seems to be some lives at the end of the tunnel displayed oh and we also hear here in brussels just some inroads have been made but 2 major Sticking Points are remaining on the table the one is access to british fishing grounds and the other one is fair competition so the question if terrors will be imposed and. In the trades when it comes to trade between the u. K. And the e. U. And if so what kind of tears. As the whole of germany goes into locked out its business as usual in the bundesliga except for coach losin 5 or hes been sacked by dortmund a day after a stunning 51. 00 thrashing at home to start got 5 or managed to only one victory in his last 5 matches in charge. The end of the road for dormant coach lucien farber after a performance he described as a disaster his on the break by stuttgart he conceded to 26 minute penalty a clear foul by emirates chan he was booked c last one minute to curse course misspells. Giovanni raina has been a rare bright spot for dortmund this season. A sublime 1st touch and finishing short the home side went into half time on level terms.

Before tan gooey cool of barley made it for one restrict our goals in 10 minutes and the final insult came an injury chinas dont win try to bring some respectability to the scoreline making a strong solid is taking advantage of the oceans of space 51 the final score heaviest home defeat in more than a decade. Or more on the story and joined in the studio by Jonathan Crane from d. W. Sports jonathan welcome where did it all go wrong for lucy and father endorsement well i think it would probably be too easy to point the finger at that disastrous reside. Its. I mean it really was probably the final straw for. The goldman c. E. O. In the stands had a Face Like Thunder but really it was part of a wider problem a pattern of inconsistency really from birth to do and because on one side you know on that day they are capable of brilliant things they have such an exceptionally young talented scald the lights of adding hall and. Giovanni raina then on the other side it can all just go wrong and they just seem to implode like they did again where they give the ball away far too easily leave themselves exposed at the back and i think performances like that really exposed solution fodder is frailties as well hes seen as this great tactical guy that hes got a great tactical brain where he falls short his critics ese it kind of lacks a bit of fire and is bad he cant fire a side up to motivate them to get the performances when the chips are down and i think probably the most frustrating thing at the moment given the bad thats still in with a chance of this that in the chase of the titles you know it will be frustrating because they think well if wed been doing better we could have been right up there and i think thats probably whats prompted them to act the sporting director said it was a tough step to take but quote negative developments lately i mean there is a need to act had a few close shaves with the sack in the past and forget now he has finally gone whos likely to replace him on a permanent basis that its not surprising a job of this caliber verse to do it when one of the biggest teams in germany a few big names have already been mentioned in connection with the vacant job i think and then going around the media and social media at the moment is mark a rose that he is the current barista mentioned glad brilliant job with that and with his own kind of brand of attacking football in a similar jesse mancinis the. Coach he actually replaced rose in that job he is very attack minded he would also be someone thats been mentioned. Yes the marquis choice really is. The former tottenham manager hes been out of work for more than a year he is kind of in many ways a would give to him and what was lacking on the father from his really passionate shows and passion can fire the players get the best hours of them one Sticking Point maybe hes not a fluent german speaker of the from b. At the moment i think women would like that and listening to recent interviews with him you kind of suggest he would rather go about so the premier League Rather than the brand as leader well once we know for sure you have to come back and give me all the details on the success thank you very much you are. Well dont mind im now 5 points behind League Leaders by munich who were held to a one all draw and only on berlin when he got off to the perfect start after just 6 minutes for a shot clement glanced in a header from a corner but biron came back in the 2nd half and equalized through the robot live on dusky goal scoring his 13th late go of the season by a main top of the table if only 11 of their for the games watching dalian is live from for a lengthy.
