I mean if i must and welcome we begin with a pandemic in Europe European Union countries have agreed a common strategy for restricting travel from coronavirus hotspots e. U. Ministers meeting in luxembourg want to traffic light system showing regions as green orange over red depending on the number of grown up virus cases minnesotas hoped to avoid the kind of confusion that disrupted travel across the e. U. At the height of the initial outbreak and they have this year. Early edgy w brussels correspondent bob our visa will explain in more detail how this traffic light system is expected to work what countries are now trying is do is use the same data used the same criteria to determine whether you can travel from point a to point b. For instance germany has a travel warning against belgium where i am at the moment but france does not have a travel warning against or for belgium so why is that because they sort of set the point where the country is dangerous at Different Levels now that is supposed to change in the future countries are supposed to send their data to the European Health agency in stockholm and they are supposed to be correlated there a european travel map should come out every week or was countries being red orange or green so then you could go from green to green but from orange shoreditch maybe just if you do a corner test and so on and so forth however the problem is criticism arose immediately because these new rules are only voluntaries voluntary countries arent forced to to do them to obey them and so therefore this may work better if things a bit but it will not really be a solution. The United Kingdom has recorded europes highest pandemic death toll and new infections that growing at an alarming rate especially and then all things Prime Minister bars johnson has outlined a system to reinstate restrictions in high risk areas one such area is the city of liverpool where a raft of fresh lockdown measures come into force in the coming hours.

Now where president Donald Trumps nomination for the vacant seat on the Supreme Court has appeared before the Senate Judiciary committee and the county barrett who is a devout catholic told centers that her religious views would not influence her decisions trump is pressing to have fair confirmed as a justice before the president ial election on november 3rd. To the 6 of her children her husband and her siblings Amy Connie Barrett brought them all for day 2 of her confirmation hearing the tropic chime to persuade democrats that she is ruled by the law and not by politics. I interpret the constitution as a law that i interpret its text as taxed and i understand it to have the meaning that it had at the time people ratified it so that meaning doesnt change over time and its not up to me to update it or infuse my own policy views into it democrats prosperity to weigh in on hot button issues like gun control and Marriage Equality but her answers are mostly elusive barrett was a protege of the late Justice Antonin Scalia he disagreed with the roe versus wade ruling which made abortions legal its distressing not to give a straight answer so let me try again do you agree with Justice Scalias view that roe was wrongly decided again i cant precommit or say yes im going in with agenda because im not i dont have any agenda but on the steps of the Supreme Court the agendas of the right and left are clear both want an appointee who will tip the scales of justice in their favor with barrett on the bench conservatives believe they can finally see abortion rights stripped away and therefore the bill Health Care Act or obamacare repealed for liberals these are prospects that was strip americans of basic freedoms and erode the legacy of Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg. To promising medical breakthroughs against covert 1000 have suffered setbacks in the u. S. Has pressed pause on the Clinical Trial of its antibody therapy promoted by u. S. President last week the companys cited a safety concern. And johnson and johnson has put its high profile vaccine trial on hold after participants fell ill research as well now examine whether the sickness is related to the shot early a trial show to the vaccine produced a strong immune response and was safe enough to move to latched scale testing. And for more on these scientific developments were now joined by Peter Chin Hong hes an Infectious Disease physician at the university of california so last week u. S. Dept president was praising antibody therapies as a quote cure for covert 19 what does the safety setback at mean for the future of the treatment thanks to me only i am very enthusiastic many of my colleagues are enthusiastic about and to body treatment and convalescent. As well i think that we just one more data you know in terms of the safety concern im not really sure what it would be i think we need to understand what it was and whether or not the participant was in the Treatment Group or the Placebo Group you know when youre looking at so many people its so it is. By chance that somebody is going to have some sort of event or sickness and then you have to decide whether or not its related to the drug or not theres another trial the johnson and johnson vaccine trial to be put on hold in the us should we be concerned. I think its actually a good sign that Drug CompaniesVaccine Companies are taking safety seriously i think they need to. Again reengage with the community and build trust again after vaccines have been and continue to be politicized in the u. S. For Political Capital in an Election Year so again we dont have as many details but for 60000 participants in a trial again it is not surprising that somebody would be sick and then youd have to determine was that related to the vaccine or was that even a placebo and and you know should the trial go on or not lets talk about the timeline Germanys Health minister has said he expects risk groups in germany to be vaccinated against kovac 102021 do you think thats realistic i think that with so many vaccine candidates in phase 3 development right now that it is possible that vaccine will be ready by then i am not sure if so many people could be vaccinated again it will probably take a year for everyone to be vaccinated Health Care Workers of course in most countries are going to be front of the line and volatile patients are all the patients but again again im not feeling optimistic that we can necessarily russia timelines and safety is really a concern and the f.

Really want to move in and want. To talk to people on the way maurice and critics who might join us for michaels last thoughts. Decades on the topic of north Korea Remains a touchy subject. The world has passed. Judgment the country is beyond repair our preconceived ideas about the democratic peoples republic of north korea remain firmly in place the in a radical orwellian regime paranoid schizophrenic a place of modern day gulags. A red dynasty long headed by a despotic film buff and now by his son whose portly appearances topped with a singular haircut. And then theres the countrys Nuclear Arsenal d a threat that makes the selfproclaimed innocent nations of the world tremble with fear. When it comes to north korea why do we so often resort to cliches in light of the difficult and often tragic situation the countrys people find themselves in the hyperbole seems rather inappropriate. For the were often told that foreigners are not permitted into the country that those who do manage to visit are not permitted to see much of anything and that those who do manage to see something should remember its probably think. Someone once insisted to us that there were no high rises in pyongyang. A disorienting claim given that one of us was living on the 24th floor of a building on quite a box street at the time. This film was shot over a period of 8 years by 3 people one of us is a translator of korean. Between us we made more than 40 trips to north korea. But the. Film does not show prison camps or rocket launch pads thats forbidden as are images of soldiers construction sites shopping malls gambling pictures of people who do not have enough to eat and pictures of people who are eating avoiding these images is harder than it might seem. Entering north korea is still complicated but foreigners are permitted to travel and explore the country although they always have a local minder. Visitors are not required to proclaim their loyalty to the state nor do they only see what the state permits them to see. And its a myth that youll never hear laughter in north korea. Or. As soon as we leave the city the roads are riddled with cracks and potholes. The bumpy journey is hard on drivers and vehicles. That could explain why broken down trucks and buses are a common sight. Depending on the season the workers in the fields might be harvesting wheat rice or potatoes although much of the country is mountainous the rest is primarily devoted to farming. North korea hopes to become economically selfsufficient someday every square metre of available land is put to use even on the steep hillsides. But only barely 20 percent of the land is arable. Land on. Her. Part. This factory was not films in 1920 but in 2016 using a small camera while exploring the city of homs home. As so often in north korea appearances are deceiving. This is the countrys largest Fertilizer Factory which kim il sung honored with more than 30 visits. Its recently been modernized in a bid to increase the productivity of the countrys cooperative farms. Cooperative farms like this one with its familiar ox cards geese and ducks and the omnipresent red flags. Another visit to a collective farm a year later its raining and everyone has gone to seek shelter. The productivity chart proudly displays the farms yields so. We take shelter in the living room of one of the farm workers she tells us about the bitter cold winters hot summers and the fact breaking work in the rice fields her son is 14 small for his age she admits but the family has been through hard times her son was born just as the great famine was ending. Behind her one of the countrys ubiquitous historical melodrama says playing on t. V. Then she launches into a vivid description of her visits to pyongyang. Recently i was in a film in addition to the muslim of the great need as i visited the museum of the revenue share in the Amusement Park near the neatest birthplace the revolutionary mount a cemetery the science and Technology Museum and the grounds people study house. I went everywhere how was. Your 1st the house where kim il sung was born the birthplace of the republic. And this is where it all started they say. The great leaders training as a revolutionary the resistance against the japanese the struggle against the evil landowners and collaborators. Its a story thats very familiar to people here. And as kim is song was the son of an ordinary peasant hes also venerated as a role model. This is a place of pilgrimage year round in the winter the buildings and grounds are decked in sober white. During our visit in 2011 we 1st saw a local visitors we
