joining us, coven 19 cases are surging across china as people take advantage of new freedoms. nationwide, frustration and unprecedented public protest force authorities to ease quarantine and travel restrictions. but since then, more and more people are testing positive. official figures on infections and fatalities remain low, but some estimates put the likely death toll at more than a 1000000 by the end of next year. ah, people in bay ging line up to get nasal spray boosters. cases are surging after the government abruptly ended. it's strict 0 kobe policy in the wake of nationwide protests against the restrictions. authorities are trying to persuade reluctant seniors and others at risk to get vaccinated to prevent large scale outbreaks, hospitalizations, and death. those already showing symptoms make their way to temporary clinics set up around the city like is public gymnasium, where they can get medical advice and treatment. others are opting to stay home either because they're already sick or trying to avoid infection. that means deliveries of food and every day items are in heavy demand. but scores of workers are also coming down with the virus. so packages pile up on the streets unclaimed. in china's financial hub, shanghai schools of switch to online classes as cases, sore nurseries, and child care centers are also set to close across the country. people were quick to return to old habits when the restrictions were eased. crowding shopping malls, subway stations, restaurants, only income for young people. it's about going out traveling and enjoying life. and many popular places are already full and it's difficult to make reservations. life is returning to pre pandemic levels. koya is uday and us home. the freedoms have come at a price. the official death toll remains low at a little more than $5200.00. but experts believe the real figure is many times higher and that china may be facing its worst serge. yet in the build, up to the winter travel season and lunar new year when hundreds of millions of workers will travel home by road, rail and air journalist 5 been cut my joints. men are from bay jane fabian, official figures for men love. but is there any way to actual estimate the scale of infections and deaths? yeah, we're pretty much left in the dark here. the official number stair detached from reality or just window cases were exploding here. the numbers, the official numbers actually went down. so though they are not really reliable for anything right now, we cannot use them as an indicator. so he and beijing, where many correspondence are bay said it's easy to assess the situation by, you know, just reporting and researching. you start to talk to people and in your personal network, and you start to find out that most of them have been infected in the last 2 weeks . you to talk to companies, horse and yet, and please have also been infected to almost 90 percent in some cases. so am there said in some correspondence also went to funeral rot home caea in beijing and also crematorium. and they are working at over time. so that a strong indicator also for an excessive amount of covert deaths, but we don't know exactly how many have died or how many are infected. but i would say with confidence that he and beijing, probably the majority, has been infected in the last 2 weeks. and probably this is the epicenter right now here. the 1st wave will probably peak 1st and then spread to other parts of the city. so does that mean that sir officials will have to reinstate quarantines and other restrictions where i think all the big containment efforts, leg locked ons, for example, would not make any sense any more because the virus already too fast spread. and now i mean, abating has basically opened up so, but what we will see us some kind of mitigation m efforts. for example, shanghai the schools have close them. those are measures i would see also other a cities would follow. and of course, and to protect the vulnerable like m r, closing, for example, an elderly homes or visitors. i think those measures would make sense and i'm sure they will happen, especially in the 2nd tier cities and smaller cities in the west of the country where the health system is not as developed as he and the big cities like beijing or shanghai china has so far relayed on its own vaccines, do they, might they have to start using foreign vaccines? now? what from a health policy point of view in would make sense? the are western m r n a vaccines, there are more efficient, so they are the better choice. so to speak, but china had the opportunity to approve. those are vaccines for example, by, by and take, et cetera. for a long time. biotech already had like a local partner to produce them here in the chinese market. but the chinese government has refused, and i don't think it will change its mind. and there, there are concerns for our national security to i think the government doesn't want to depend on foreign vaccines for their vaccination effort. and also there's a little bit of nationalistic pride here that comes at play. so i don't think they will change their foot, but it would make sense. but i mean, the vaccination now is key, and i think that's really what could prevent a lot of deaths because the vulnerable of the elderly here are not a vixen aided enough yet. that's fabbing freshman in beijing. thanks very much. now here in germany, police have recovered priceless treasures stolen in a daring jewelry highest, which captured the public imagination. thieves made off with diamonds and jewels worth more than a $100000000.00 euros in the robbery at dressed and green vault. 6 suspect allegedly behind the break in 3 years ago are already on trial irreplaceable heritage valuables finally recovered after years of investigation. many doubted this date would ever come. leave us hello. how likely was it that we would ever find this treasure? again? we've always been up to mister misses, but to be honest, there was a bit of laughing, involved in food along with the investigation, went on the moral confidence drugged, which makes the recovery all the more satisfying your order. you've taken several pieces are still missing, but $31.00 have been recovered, including the most valuable, the diamond to laden star of the polish order of the white eagle. there is still hope that the remaining lit hasn't been destroyed or sold, but carpet sang all kind of hidden visor door. there is no evidence that any of the treasure has turned up or been sold anywhere. when we looked at this and compared it to other art, perhaps we were confident there was a good chance we would find the jewels again. common counter this fitted from the fateful night in 2019 shows, the jewel thieves destroying the display case and raised in green vault and stealing over a 100000000 euros worth of diamonds and other jewelry. sick suspects have been on trial since the beginning of this year. the discovery of the hidden trove in berlin was apparently, as a result of a deal struck in court. let's take a quick look now at some other stories making news around the world. so nicea has gone to the polls in an election boycotted by the opposition voters also stayed away. lithia suggest to turn out of just 9 percent. shanicea became the only democracy to emerge

champions france facing argentina for the creation morocco stage, a thrilling battle for 3rd place. and it was the creations who ran out victorious over the 5 c on underdogs. a game that many people called uninteresting or even irrelevant, did not take long to prove otherwise. croatia kicked off the scoring and just the 7th minutes after a brilliant set p strategy, a fake by luca moderates, even parasites with the past and your score value all with the headed finish. the 20 year old arby lights, he sent her back, adding another highlight to his fantastic world cup campaign. however, chris has left midfielder and his love horses with a beautiful curl from a tight angle and a little bit of help from the woodwork reclaimed the lead. 2 to one, no goals in the 2nd half meant morocco. the surprise team of the tournament come in 4th and croatia can celebrate 3rd place. and anticipation is building for the clash of the titans between france and argentina in the world cup. final france have been contending with the viral outbreak in their camp, but all the players have now been cleared for to return to training. they're hoping to become the 1st team to retain the title since 1962. but they'll have to overcome and argentina led by an unformed leon, a messy haze aiming to crown his glittering career with his 1st world cup title. joining me now to talk about the last week and of the book up as philip hath not from d w. sports, philip morocco lose their last game, but they can still be proud of what they have achieved in this wealth company. absolutely. so even despite the loss against creation now and again for 3rd place, they can still very much be proud and the fans worse. so in fact, even after the game was played, so this was the 1st time ever that an african team made it to the semi finals. so history has been made in so many people rooting for them and we're so happy to see them succeed. they brought their mothers on to the pitch after their victory and dance with them, which was incredible to watch. so i think the whole world has sort of fall in love with rocco, over the past couple of days. but we can't forget about crazy either because there are a country of under 4000000 people and they've managed to come into the world cup finals in last year is our last world cup that they played in. and now they've gotten 3rd place again. so there's also an absolutely incredible run for them 2 times now back to back, both great team. so that leaves us with the big final on sunday, argentina against france, who's the favorite to win this one. that is such a tough question and not even the bookmakers can really make up their mind. they're pretty much calling this game dead, even at this point. as far as the odds go. so we have friends of course, around q m b p who is just an absolutely incredible form and at the same time no missy, his teammate for p, z is an incredible form as well. so we can take a look at the statistics. how many goals they scored each, so that shows that they're both setting up top with 5 goals each, but also there are other teammates are doing really, really well. so hold on others for argentina with 4 goals and olivia, who for france, for goals as well. so that shows that it's not just a one man show for both of these teams, but rather the whole team stepping up at both making players around them stronger. so this is going to be a really tough one to call. and i think we can expect a lot of offensive power from both sides. there isn't news now though that there was a virus going around the french team. how might that affect the game? i think that might actually be something that could decide the game. i know that that's a pretty risky and bold claim to make. however, at the same time, we're talking about 7 players that have flu like symptoms for a for. and so that is definitely a by almost half the team you could say, and wait till find out who the players are. it is mostly defensive players. so we have a theory and us who was the player, that's the 1st goal against morocco and the some i find out the starting left back . you have abraham kinetic who is the starting center back and yoga ran, who's also the starting center back. so basically your entire defense department is basically questionable for this game and this going up against the law messy and against go hungry, argentinians is definitely not what you want to hear did is on the not go into many more details, the players are being quarantined away from the healthy players and make sure that no one else gets infected and he didn't want to communicate on who might be out. who might be in order not to give argentine a lead or maybe show them where the weak spots are. it's going to be a tough one for france. however, an exciting final. it'll be an exciting day in kat, so that's for sure. philip, not from database sports. thank you for your analysis. you're watching the w news and you are up to date up next. our current faced theories report, i joined rebels and me and not remember there's much more news on the d, w dot com and we are at the w nice on twitter and instrument. thanks so much. i'm just kinda not
