Of a black man by police. Live from moscow this is R T International my name is donald quarter and your 30 minutes of news and views start now the french president has announced the country will enter a 2nd National Lockdown in a bid to turn the tide against the coronavirus and it will last at least all of november arties charlotte dubinsky can tell us whats ahead. President mark onset in july she tweeted that in the event of a 2nd wave there we are ready thats francois be ready and thats clearly the case they bought the ball and we are overwhelmed by the 2nd wave that we now know to certainly be harder and deadlier than the 1st one the government has said it didnt want this locked down that despite its assets it looks like its back to square one when it comes to it 19 affinity present diprivan to confine the elderly the most vulnerable to test be alert and protect to improve the number of beds in intensive care units with a solutions are not enough at the moment and we need to go beyond that it could. It was from friday we will see a closure of bars and restaurants and those forms that people are fronts needed during the 1st lockdown to leave home is at his desk they will be back the suggestion is that once again the french will only be able to leave their home if they have to do essential shopping if they have to go to the doctor says or if they need their one hour of daily exercise sent back to those really restrictive measures the one thing that is different this time around there is the fact that schools will remain open and we know the president machen said that this will be reviewed in 2 weeks to see how the progress is going away or that means that they can perhaps loosen the noose slightly but as you mentioned this will be in place until december 1st mark owen said in the speech that the virus is circulating in france at a speed that even the most pessimistic person did not foresee and he said that the 2nd wave would be more deadly than the 1st that he talked about something he said that if this was an check that cross went along the route of trying to create good immunity it would see some 400000 excess deaths as a result of that now we know that the situation with kuwait at the moment we have seen 523. 00 covina related deaths in a 24 hour period up to the last day or so that is the highest they get that france has registered it since april and in the last few days we have seen the code test rates at come back with movement 50000 people registering positive for the disease in a 24 hour period and these measures of being brought in mainly to try and help hospitals hospitals which say they are overwhelmed by cases of coke 19 hospital staff who have been saying for months they are exhausted and need more assistance i. Now we know that this had been expected by many people in peru fearing worse that it would be this announcement of a 2nd locked out and as a result of that people leaving paris to be able to not stay during a lockdown in perhaps small cramped apartments present makana said the government will give Everything Possible to keep people in the means that they need to we know that a thorough long will be extended and we know that there will be more aid announced for as social ringback charges and for rent and there will be a different business say so france going into its 2nd lockdown a lockdown thats not expected to last until at least december 1st its not what the government wanted but present back on senshi saying that there was no other choice. Meanwhile new restrictions are also on the way in germany but less severe than in france the daily infection rate recently topped 13000. 00 there pleading Angela Merkel to announce a broad lockdown starting next week and set to last one month our europe correspondent peter oliver reports from berlin. Well this was called lock down lights in the build up to it we knew it was coming what we didnt expect is how soon these new measures would come in place that was talked about before the november or late to next week its going to be monday the 2nd of november that this new lockdown light comes into play then the idea behind it is to keep schools and kindergartens open what that means is that other areas are going to have to make way younger merkel was speaking to the press earlier she said the social contact is going to have to essentially suffer in order to try and get over this hump over this autumn spike in corona infections now what we are going to see is a limit put in place on meeting meeting in public a meeting with members from of the households one of the household a maximum of 10 people youre allowed to meet with all theaters concert halls all prison any that was still open theyre going to be closed on the sport thats going as well as fitness clubs swimming pools joking and cycling will still be allowed anything you can do pretty much by yourself shops are going to only be allowed one customer per 10 square metres its understood this was a a subjective heated debate between chancellor merkel and the heads of the 16 states initially they wanted to make it one customer per 25. 00 square metres however the fear was that that would essentially well it aint Small Businesses across the country the reason the chancellor merkel said theyve gone through with this and theyve put this in place for initially one month it will be revised in 2 weeks time but as it stands at the moment. Well the models this new lockdown will be in place for the reason this because if they didnt the Health Care System was at risk of just being overwhelmed if you can. See him if the current rate of spread of the coronavirus in germany continues the Health Care System will collapse within a few weeks things can get out of control in the blink of an eye so that is why we are taking decisive action. Overall. Its wrong to say welcome but that being understood however there is still a small dedicated. Group of the population who are opposed to all coronavirus measures weve seen demonstrations all over germany some of those turned into clashes with police there have been arrests made and you would be hard pushed to think that these people wont be outraged by this move put in place by the chancellor we wont see more scenes like this. Earth. d ringback with. Well the message from angola merkel as she introduces whats being called block down light is sacrifice your social lives in order to keep schools kindergartens and essential businesses alive and keep the economy ticking over its preparations to try and stop a spike in coronavirus cases here in germany well be looking to see if the lockdown light works we spoke with a political analyst in france about the upcoming lockdown. I think we are angry surprised by this information to go too far because some gun national is the preparation to go to you know our friendship going to be because the only window to slow down. The great new marriage internet. To raise into United States room to sal and to continue sitting during the trial is that. And the smaller business so the small nation of business will die due to their look down and down is a measure. Up shooty a boost to the National Interest europe as a whole once again finds itself as a major coronavirus hotspot with infections surging across the continent but this time people arent being very compliant when it comes to the measures designed to slow the spread. Several cities in italy have seen protests break out over new restrictions such as the implementation of overnight curfews similar picture in spain with people making a stand against the state of emergency imposed nationwide. In russia where infections are also spiking the country has applied to the World Health Organization for an emergency covert vaccine license although advanced stage 3 trials of sputnik the are still under way if russia gets w. H. O. Approval it would mean faster availability of the shot around the globe although there has been skepticism about the vaccine alongside western claims that corners were cut to rushed into production moscow says its confident in the drug our Senior Correspondent more i picks up the story. Well this is the 1st application filed will do with the World Health Organization about a vaccine so a vaccine and the russians are pretty confident you know its now up to the World Health Organization to run this vaccine sputnik through through the gauntlet tested for efficacy tested for quality for safety but as i say the russians are pretty confident this wasnt a vaccine that was built from from the ground up so its a match trials are already underway Prominent Russian officials as well as medics journalists have already had their job thousands of people involved in these trials but as i say this this wasnt a vaccine that was developed from the ground up it was based on an existing vaccine platform that was merely adapted updated. So this is one of the reasons why theyre confident that this is safe that this is going to work nevertheless obviously you have to test it you to meet criteria and it is now up to the World Health Organization. We have submitted an application for emergency use listing and prequalification of the vaccine by the World Health Organization which will allow sputnik 3 to be included in the list of medical products that meet the leading quality safety and efficacy standards we express our gratitude to the World Health Organization for its active cooperation and look forward to the successful completion of the prequalification process at all major stages look the 2nd wave is well and truly here it is proving exceptionally damaging exceptionally painful view records being set all over the world in russia on tuesday a new record in daily deaths from. 30350 people also killed yesterday so you know the situation is it is desperate all of these restrictions are kemah coming back into force in russia they arent quite as draconian as they were back in the spring but now were seeing you know mandatory mosques everywhere no public spaces no all public transport quarantines isolations. Theres all manner of restrictions its obviously of the the races on the race continues and it isnt just the russian vaccine that is being fast tracked it is vaccines from all over the world in this in this race to be covert before it does irreversible damage.

S.
