talk about the most exciting point of your wife is the nobel peace prize it is because of the family they're out there in the most difficult complex places in the world with this war on streams it doesn't matter they're out there and they deserve this award and wow wow wow wow yeah. that won't be much time to celebrate 135000000 people suffered from acute tanga in 2019 the most in years challenges like the coronavirus conflict and climate change ensure that the work of the world food program is not about to get any easier. for more i'm joined by data chief international editor richard war coverage said hi nice to see you so the u.n. world food program it is this year was that expected it wasn't really one of the most hotly tipped organizations or institutions in the days leading up to the announcement but when you stand bags and it certainly does look like it really does fit the mold of many previous nobel prizes the nobel committee has given the award to u.n. institutions many times over the years but equally in the years where they have given mission was particularly critical and that is something that the nobel committee is saying really is the case right now in terms of hunger and drawing the connection between conflicts and hunger one feeding off the other and also with the coronavirus pandemic here on top of that that adding to the problem especially looking to the year ahead absolutely we actually have a reaction from the w.f. pay is the executive director reacting to the price. i mean this is the 1st time in my life a bit speechless what i'm going to. talk about the most exciting point in time with your wife is the nobel peace prize it is because of the the family there out there in the most difficult complex places all in the world where this war conflict is one of the streams it doesn't matter they're out there and they deserve this award and in wow wow wow wow akbar here. very happy reaction that was this was this decision controversial anyway well what's striking about it is actually how uncontroversial it is. many of the other potential candidates would have sparked controversy one way or another the peace prize was inherently a political statement of course at the wealth health organization for instance with egypt and there's a lot of controversy over that with the united states having pulled out of it this year accusing it of being plenty close to china and so on and that the world food program is not completely without blemishes been accusations for instance last year from within the organization aren't taking place within it but in the announcement the chair of the committee said that the world of the w.s.p. to the benefit of humankind is in an endeavor that all the nations of the world should be able to endorse and support and i think that's a kind of a sign that they do think this is basically something that everyone can get behind why do you think the nobel committee went in that direction then and rather than making more of a political stripe. they were quite clear in their thinking in the announcement i mean the very beginning of the announcement was about multilateralism saying that the 1st line was about the importance of global cooperation particularly in this time so it's not just the mission of the world food programme that they're highlighting here it's also the way it works is a multilateral organizations countries working together. then also drawing attention to an underappreciated cope with the. saying that the world is essentially underestimating the problem of hunger at my particular the pandemic coming saying that at the moment most 100000000 people are facing possible starvation but next year that could go up to 265000000 so that cooling attention of the world's one problem and then these are very specifically they did say that they want countries to step up funding to the world food programme to tackle that issue urging countries to boost fun digs the funding that they are getting currently is not enough so i think really quite concrete objectives that they are trying to achieve by making this announcement this was. the last year was full of scandals and controversies i suppose you could say there were other alternatives do you think the nobel prize is still up with the times i think it is absolutely still relevant every year definitely isn't the world is that the attention of the withhold is locked on that doorway and that we just saw that of course there have been prizes over the years that have been controversial and prizes that don't shed the nobel committee in the best light and the arrival of things like the alternative nobel prize also give you know a forum for. bringing to the fore people who are not on the radar of the nobel committee but i think there's no doubt that the place the world would be the poorer without this institution every year really bringing these issues for. i thank you for coming. and i'll take a look at some of the other stories making news around the wild card astounds president has declared a state of emergency in the capital bishkek and ordered troops to restore order the

than 2 months ago. germany is marking the one year anniversary of a deadly anti semitic attack on a synagogue in the eastern city of hala the attack of failed to breach the synagogues front door but gunned down 2 people outside. the church bells rang out across the city and at midday life came to a halt for 3 minutes to mark the time when the 1st shots were fired. but the kate brady is in hala kate how did the events today on fold. but as you say rebecca these memorial events did begin earlier today one minute past 12 with the bells ringing out across hala and 2 minute silence across the city and it was exactly at that time one year ago today that the suspected gunman began to make it shoot his 1st shots into the exterior door that you might not see far behind me here that door which saved 52 lives of 52 lives of the people in the synagogue at the time who were observing services for yom kippur or later today that will be rather within the next hour or so there will be wreaths laid by the president. and they will also be a service this evening as well and later this afternoon parts of that door which save those lives are will be unveiled in part of a new memorial which is on the site of the synagogue and that's been designed by a local 19 year old artist and at the same time there's also been an exhibition on all day as well which is displaying witness statements as well from the trial of the suspected perpetrator so a lot of events going on today to commemorate the events of a year ago which sadly ended in the deaths of 2 people here yeah that's right when we spoke extensively on that day remember you were reporting from the attack in hama tell us what's changed for the jewish community in the city. well having spoken to some members of the jewish community here that question not only is relevant for how they're but also across germany nationwide and their answer is not very much has changed there has been an increase in security at several synagogues and so on the jewish facilities around the country but this isn't just about stepping up security here in jeopardy this is about altering the mind set there needs to be political and societal discussion here to really deal with the issue of anti-semitism and far right extremism here in germany. writing thanks very much. and spoke to one woman who narrowly escaped the attack that say the experience has left her emotionally scott but she says she now gained strength from the very things the assailant was targeting her community and her face the attacker came to the synagogue to the exact same spot i just walked out the exact same door that he heard shooting it down. life is now before and after before the attack and happy attack molly scharf men escaped death by a stroke of fortune on october 9th 2019 in the city of hama a heavily armed attacker arrived around noon to the local synagogue planning to break in and shoot the jewish congregation during the yom kippur prayers she missed the assailant by only a few minutes after stepping out for some fresh air in a nearby park shortly before he arrived. in my imagination it felt farther away like i was the park is far away it's protected but actually when i went back i realized it was so much closer be a close call this is just beyond comprehension as things got back to normal actually thing that's when things got more difficult so slowly i started feeling kind of symptoms really hard to keep up with everything. a lot of stress and anxiety. a few months after the attack molly was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder she started treatment and at the same time found great comfort in the very target of the attack her jewish identity and community the communal events such as prayers and singing a part of her therapy. singing is like there will be part one of my connections judaism and if you look at some of these words there really is kind of what i went through of like you know. even in hard times got is. this connection to god it will be. even more difficult times. better what it would have been a year after the attack the alleged perpetrator has gone on trial in the city of mack to board molly sharman was the 1st witness to give testimony in front of the judges in her statement she referred to her family history. my grandfather went through a very terrible thing he lost his whole family in the holocaust and he was able to live and live a life and you know give us love and he was a cantor and he loved judaism he taught us judaism i was very close to him so that's what. made me feel the strongest was this connection with him and i felt it was important to share that in the court and that is resilience. says her grandfather was the only member of the family to survive the holocaust but hala has also made a survivor out of her every year on her grandfather would say a prayer for his granddaughter in hopes of protecting her from any harm she says on october 9th 29000 his hopes were fulfilled this attacker this person cannot take away. my grandfather gave me my own 2 feet i'm strong and i was able to stand in front. to hurt us to be able to say to him you mess with the wrong people. europe is seeing a resurgence of corona virus cases which have now also passed those in the united states daily infections have reached record levels in the united kingdom and france in germany meanwhile burnim has been declared a coronavirus hotspot amid a nationwide new restrictions are going into effect with the head of germany's main public health institute warning that widespread infections are likely if people fail to kape the high chain and distancing roles but officials say the country's health care system is up to the task. coronavirus hot spots are cropping up all over germany but local and regional officials say the country is ready intensive care beds are available at most hospitals nationwide with around one in 3 beds on occupied the increasing number of infections is worrying medical workers but unlike in march they feel they're well prepared. we are now able to recognise symptoms in patients we have more tests and more protective measures than before for example there is no shortage of mosques which was a big issue in march. night life is only one contributing factor to the rising infections and in other parts of germany it's a nursing home elsewhere it's a slaughterhouse hence the urgent warning this nuclear this is real it's just possible that we see more than $10000.00 new cases per day which is possible that the virus spreads uncontrolled i hope this won't be the case. the whole city of berlin is now a risk area with the number of new infections having risen to 50 per 100000 people well over government threshold. restrictions are imminent. testament point meeting with friends are becoming smaller shorter and less frequent like at the start of the year but i think we all expected it to get the 1st few i can't understand why people are being so unreasonable about the new restrictions they're jeopardizing everything that we've worked on in the months up to now so this is our new. way to touch you can't really plan anything anymore because you don't know if you can do it or not in this. the island of aruba and was thought to be a safe bet for holiday makers from berlin now its only possible with testing a head of time and quarantining. chief political editor is standing by outside the german chancery where i'm going merkel has just spoken after meeting with 11 minutes of germany's biggest cities to discuss the situation . what i'm going to have to say well she basically said that the question whether germany loses control over this pandemic will actually be answered in the big cities and that's why she also met the mayors this spike in infections above 4000 now for successive days is something that is no longer of the quality we've seen at the beginning of the pandemic where this was mainly risk groups this is now being put down to a very lively parting scene and people just having dropped their guard and that's also why we've seen over the past 24 hours pretty much every politician and every health official in the front row here appeal to germans to take this more seriously once again one on that then did she mention any new restrictions that might be coming into force. well basically what she agreed with the mayor is that now restrictions could be put in place as we've already seen in munich for instance people wearing masks also in public life in crowded areas that simply don't allow for proper distancing that there could be alcohol bans after a certain time there could also be curfews in place and this is a pretty big was this is something germany has avoided pretty much in the past also there could be further restrictions on how many people are allowed to gather because a lot of these new infection hotspots are down to large wedding ceremonies religious gatherings and that's something that particular urban centers need to get a handle on or else see the health system in the end potentially be overstretched what everybody wants to avoid if infection rates do increase which is looking likely how likely is it the germany could face a 2nd national lockdown. well this is some you're not going to get an answer from that certainly not from going to marco but she is rather adamant that this is something that's the target that's what she wants to avoid i also got the chance to ask her how close she is to thinking about closing borders once again and this is a territory she certainly doesn't want to go into our tour the whole schengen area that area is still kind of suffering from that initial national reflex right the beginning of the demick but undeniably infection rates are going up again this constant reassessment and also with those very specific measures that she agreed upon with those 11 mayors today they will sit down once again virtually and discuss whether more could be needed if germans don't listen more closely and don't get more careful again that's in 10 days time from now you mentioned them wanting to avoid obviously an increase in pressure on the health system but so far so many health system has managed reasonably well how much further leeway do we have in that area. well compared to its european neighbors germany has rather well up to a 3rd of intensive care beds were even only needed on this so this is something that was until recently hailed as a success but everybody here is bracing themselves not just for those physical capabilities being tested but also more and more care workers potentially getting sick those on the front line serious stuff in shortages when it comes to those people who are supposed to trace and track those infections to actually be able to contain those hotspots and that's the big fear once you've lost control you basically face a wave that you can no longer get a handle on and germany is getting a lot more dangerously close to that that many people wanted to admit until very recently that's also why we're seeing this very very active public appeal by not just chancellor merkel but on all levels here. thank you very much. quickly to get you up to speed on some of the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic nearly half of all intensive care unit beds in paris and now occupied by co that 19 patients hospitals there have cancelled stuff holidays and postpone non-essential operations china has formally joined the global covert 19 vaccine initiative known as kovacs pledging support to help finance vaccine supplies for low income countries and the u.n. says almost 3000000 migrants are stranded abroad to 2 coronavirus restrictions it's calling for more cooperation between countries to allow people to safely return home. meanwhile u.s. president donald trump is stepping up his plans to return to the campaign trail just a few days after being released from a hospital for covert 19 he's considering holding rallies this weekend in florida and pennsylvania but it's not yet known whether he's tested negative for the virus since his release the uncertainty is also throwing the remaining debates with his viral democrat joe biden into doubt. fast the u.s. presidential campaign enters its final stages it's still unclear if next week's debate will actually go ahead because of president don trump's health but trump insists he's recovered and wants to get back on the campaign trail well what we're doing is we want to do a rally in florida in florida on saturday night might come back and do one of pennsylvania in the following night in that incredible what's going on i feel so good in a phone interview with the u.s. network fox news he sounded upbeat but less than clear about his health. cast would be tomorrow and the actual task is the very latest on the time but they found very little infection or virus if any had only if they found any i didn't go into it greatly with the doctors for me trump has dismissed as ridiculous a proposal to hold next week's presidential debate virtually but the debate commission is concerned that the u.s. president could still be infectious many in the medical field everybody's had a test is not necessarily consider a mild put on steroids after all and if you think about that then the c.d.c. guidelines suggest at least a 20 day window period of isolation plus added to the fact that it is put on steroids which can actually prolong the viral setting meanwhile democratic candidate joe biden continues his campaign. we don't know what the president. might every 2nd like me to comment on that now or be irresponsible i think it is not going to follow the commission recommendation he goes off a nice guy have a rally on our own a lot of men in washington believe that if the rivals meet again face to face it will most likely not be before the final debate ships will for the 22nd of october . the news coming up next indeed opening news asia india japan australia and the u.s. look to strengthen their alliance and counted china's growing power in
