Im down to earth as welcome to the program italy has been hit by a wave of protests against a new round of government restrictions and containing the coronavirus clashes broke out in milan serene and several other cities monday evening the unrest comes after italian a thought. Has ordered bars and restaurants to shots at 6 pm and closed theaters cinemas and gyms for a months Prime Minister says that the conti is now promising new Financial Aid to try and calm the tensions. Here. It began as an angry protest they chanted for freedom in turin. But it quickly descended into a violent game of cat and mouse local media reports the group was made up of hardcore football fans nor as ultras riot police fired tear gas and water cannon to send them home. Designer shops were targeted too and milan Police Clashed with protesters tear gas and pyrotechnics and plentiful supply several arrests were made as the caribbean yairi try to restore order to the citys otherwise quiet street the unrest was ignited by new rules force in the countrys Hospitality Industry to close its doors at 6 pm how marble italys late night dining culture has Restaurant Owners locked up many feared this could be the beginning of the end. But. There is one chip its body that. Have disappeared and lunch time is images well with 75 percent of the employees working from home. In fact were done with this job i mean i dont think were going to close in a week you know here to get 51 of those who are getting. In a room industry workers pulled their supplies are we in protest. That they dont know what youre seeing here is just a part of our supplies that weve had to throw away and sacrifice weve already paid for it instead of 7 its our customers are strange were forced to throw on the ground and as weve already done in the past. The peaceful gathering in sharp contrast to scenes elsewhere. As italy tightens restrictions the sense of anxiety here every bit is strong. Shes a journalist in milan so there can you give us an idea of the scope of these protests and why they got so violent well 1st of all we have to understand that these protests have been going on for a few days now. In naples especially they have been the head of the region the government region and its been a look at been very straight with measure and thats where the protests started and then this crowd around italy from rome to palermo and all milan and sure hundreds of people are going to the streets to demonstrate against this new measures that are very strict some of them stricter in europe to be honest and. At the same time we have peaceful Demonstrators Demonstrators who are to take in the 3 to demonstrate against the fact that if they have to close at 6 pm from for example Restaurant Owner or bar owners but at the same time we have people that take advantage of this situation. Whats driving it looks like a rather broad opposition to the new restrictions whats driving that was the main force behind it well media and the government as well are trying to understand who are these people that are actually demonstrating violently and in the streets and there has been rumors that you know there are people from the extremist right wing where x. From its from the left wing but at the same time many say theyre wholly guns are taking the streets to to process taking advantage of some people that are actually demonstrating because the rules are very strict at the moment that the main reason why people are going straight thing is the 6 pm will for which people cannot go to bars or restaurants after 6 pm so whats the role of our situation right now on new infections still rising so well. They are they are and its hard to see it from a person point of view especially because milan is becoming one of the the biggest head at the center of the coronavirus we have around 20000 cases positive cases a day and more than 150 deaths every day i see you are getting full again and hospitals are going full again we can hear and see its going on and on the whole day but this was not unexpected we knew that a 2nd wave was coming we knew we could see it from from countries around us we could see france and spain in the u. K. So this is why people are angry make mainly because concert tracing is not working hospital are not ready for this situation and we had months to prepare for it so you have a car to go on the 2 or 3 situation in italy thank you thank you.

The confirmation of amy coney berets to the Supreme Court has given americas top court a conservative majority for years the Senate Approved her nomination by 52 votes to 48 or appointment was strongly opposed by congressional democrats.

Shell take the 2nd of her 2 son choose date and a private ceremony which will allow her to begin official duties on the court. Turning those boards form on a professor of Political Science at bard college here in berlin professor foreman how does any kind of barretts confirmation of reshape the Supreme Court and why is everyone so concerned about it. Well as as we just heard i mean this is creating a conservative majority of 6 to 3 on the Supreme Court which is the highest court in the u. S. Which has to decide to most important cases really and to to prove whether a certain case is constitutional or not and there are many cases coming up right now not least of course the president ial election itself might produce new types of cases and so this is a contention a contentious issue. But you mentioned the election day which is only a week from today how could the newly configured court have an influence that. Well theres already been debates just yesterday there was a decision by the Supreme Court during the the nomination and appointment of him because he bird that wisconsin was not allowed to extend its a 1000000 ballots deadline and similar decisions are coming up for pennsylvania and for North Carolina important swing states also so the Supreme Court already does have an influence and obviously something might happen that happened in 2000 everyone remembers bush versus gore at the time which was decided by the Supreme Court in favor of george w. Bush making him the president and since this is a very contentious election coming up similar instances might might come about him Supreme Court might have a very Important Role to play ultimately what role would that be that the Supreme Court would have to play in and what what whats the likely scenario playing out that well if Election Outcomes in the individual states are contended might be that the Supreme Court might have to take a decision oftentimes it does so without actually having to reason about its own decision so its clear 6. 00 to 3. 00 majority might well lean in favor of trump we dont know this yet its a put possibility. Well the issue of health care is also coming before the called early next month could that be a way for bad to put a stamp on things from the very beginning. Sure i mean this has been perhaps the most important policy item that people have been discussing with view to the nomination of of in the Connie Barrett as she has criticised at that such of the time in 2012 Justice John Roberts for her his decision to hold it hold the Affordable Care act constitutional however i think what weve also seen for example with Brett Kavanaugh ordeal of course which the other trumped nominees to the Supreme Court is that sometimes conservative judges tend to become more liberal over time once they are in the institution of the Supreme Court so i think its its we havent theres no final conclusion but how does these decisions might go yet. Professor boyce foreman from bad college here in berlin thank you very much for joining us on the w. News in the u. S. Indeed i mean you still to come.

More water on the moon yes life no thats what nasa announced that he Video Press Conference scientists there said they found more water on the moon than they ever thought before but they shut down the idea that that would mean the moon could harbor life. The discovery of more water on the moon was confirmed by technology from its flying lab the stratospheric observatory for infrared astronomy known also by its acronym sophia the scientists said that the deposits are at least partly the result of meteors that carried water and that crashed on the surface of the moon the impact caused rock to melt and form glass beads and trapping the water thus allowing it to survive on the moons harsh surface more water bearing beads might also be buried deeper nasa also said that there is perhaps more water hidden in the form of ice patches located in permanent shadows of the moon one of the nasa scientists said that its not a lot of water the amount is equal to 1300. 00 milliliter bottle of water per cubic meter another said that the water doesnt mean that there could be life on the moon because you need more than water to ensure the conditions for life oh.
