The new government says its responding to demands from protest is our Senior Correspondent joins us now i. Just talk us through whats at stake in this referendum where basically hala people were hoping to see a major change but they remain frustrated and theyre losing hope in the political establishment brothers of the board says this is a critical moment for algeria and that if both people vote today yes for the referendum that could pave the way to a new algeria but when you look at the changes theyre not really significant from the perspective of the algerian people because the president still will have a biggest say he can still fire the government the Prime Minister he has a huge say over the judiciary and this is what this is not what people were looking forward to see they said that they were instrumental in the project ocracy movement of last year wish toppled president. And what they were expecting to see is a new political establishment that has absolutely nothing to say with the political elite the has. 160. 2 so theyre very frustrated over whats happening other think we have to wait and see what happens tonight if the voter turnout is low thats going to be very bad news for the political establishment in algeria carol keep of course i are not one of the interesting things that there was this provision that would allow the army to send peacekeeping missions abroad for the 1st time in tell us more about that well thats a Seismic Shift in algeria they have had this no interference doctrine since 1960 of the interdependence of the country although they have been involved here and there but this time the president has the right to send troops with an approval the world with 2 thirds of the Parliament Voting yes when you look at the geography of the region algeria neighbor subsaharan africa. And those areas where al qaeda and i still have it operate in taking huge areas the americans and the french have been active over the last few years with the major success imagine if they are. To more to send peacekeeping forces to those areas there will be very good news for the americans and for the french another element which is our neighbors libya theyve seen the situation further evolving where now you have a major regional actors playing a significant role something that the algerian study of the past they dont welcome so i think this is one of but at and by the algerians to say that from now on wars the political establishment along with the militia are going to play a robust aggressive role in foreign diplomacy. Or theyre bringing us all the way says that creation for its thank you very much indeed. There is anger and frustration in spain about school 19 restrictions process in several cities including madrid turned violent and spains Prime Minister has condemned the unrest a 6 month state of emergency came into effect this week because corona virus cases and started rising once again. Well u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson is putting england back into lockdown for a month hes been warning that rising infections kids fill hospitals within weeks austria has in a similar measures adding to a growing list of European Countries re imposing restrictions theyve barco reports from london a major u. Turn in the British Governments covert 19 strategy for weeks the Prime Ministers insisted on local restrictions to avoid the need for a nationwide lockdown but infections have just continued rising as across much of europe the virus is spreading even faster than the reasonable worst Case Scenario of our scientific advisors from thursday until the start of december. You must stay at home you merely leave home for specific reasons im afraid nonessential shops leisure and Entertainment Venues will be closed the virus is spreading much faster than forecast the 2nd peak could be one and a half times higher than the 1st with as many as 4000 deaths a day the government hopes to use the new lockdown as an opportunity to dramatically accelerate testing there is one consolation though schools and universities can remain open and relief for parents struggling with childcare leading scientists advise the British Government last month to introduce a 2 week Circuit Breaker lock down when the infection rate started to creep up again the government resisted citing concerns over the health of the economy in scotland where tighter restrictions have been in place in september there is some evidence to suggest that the infection rate there is. But here in england Boris Johnsons gamble hasnt paid off the u. K. Isnt the only country to announce a nationwide lockdown the austrian chancellors order the closure of restaurants and hotels from choose day high schools and universities will move lessons online and theyll be a nightly curfew the measures remain in place until early december.

Well with the combination of all different kinds of emotions to be honest i mean this announcement by Boris Johnson on saturday evening has now sent some can it sunk into the newspaper headlines it sunk into the radio phone in shows and the emotions range from resigned acceptance to see the ng anger and outright despair many Business Owners for example are desperately worried for the for their future is the fact that this coronavirus pandemic led to a lockdown in march april then they were able to reopen and now that into shuts again many businesses desperately unhappy and ill race through some of the crime in the labor opposition to secure stomach for example said the government has finally taken the decision that it should have taken weeks ago theres a lot of criticism that the government could have acted sooner remember that the Scientific Advisory group said that the lockdown should have happened maybe back in september 21st september teaching unions are saying there should be more Safety Measures and protocols put into place for them because if youre going to close over the house but keep the schools open that means that schools could be a hotbed of infection also johnson is facing a huge amount of dissent from his own Parliamentary Party there are many conservative m. P. s here in the u. K. Who feel that the importance of the economy is being overlooked in this. Political decision by johnson and that hes not doing enough to protect the economy caroline confederation of british industry told the furniture its been an incredibly difficult time this is a real body blow so its going to be a very very difficult winter Boris Johnson the Prime Minister said so himself and a lot of criticism is coming down on his and his governments shoulders for the way that theyve handled this kaypro brennan there with the reaction from london thank you.
