Has been ongoing in recent weeks between. President to mark or president calderon of turkey do you think that this could have contributed to that and then create increased tensions that. That is what Police Sources are saying at the moment when they talk about the sort of attacks that are happening if you look at lone wolf attacks just attacks out of nowhere these are not attacks that have been planned which the attackers have gotten got hold of explosives these are just men with a knife attacking people so that is the fear that could have been unfortunately and expecting more of these type of lone wolf attacks not the type of well established well programmed it tanks that we saw several years ago a french prosecutors have opened an antiterrorism probe what does that mean for the investigation well and that means that as you said all began to terrorist police who will be taking control of the investigation they will have at their fingertips a whole range of resources from there of course are already unfortunately up and running there will be able to call in all sorts of experts from across the country they will be able to go through files that perhaps other police arent quite as ofay with they will be able to go and you know really very quickly get operating on the ground to get sources to link up with other people and thats really again unfortunately their expertise which they have been using since this this 1st attack which happened in 2015 different field in paris thank you very much for this update it. To the global coronavirus pandemic now and german chancellor Angela Merkel has defended the latest round of coronavirus with strict sions as the country prepares to go back into lockdown albeit a limited one addressing the bundestag merkel said it was currently impossible to trace the origin of all the new infections hampering efforts to contain the virus but she faced frequent interruptions during a speech and the opposition of call the measures excessive and inappropriate empty restaurants and bars no museums no theatres these images are actually from the 1st wave of the pandemic but in november germans will have to get used to them again coronavirus cases rise chancellor merkel announced new restrictions the main difference this time is that schools and shops will remain open many businesses will receive economic support on thursday burkle defended the new policy in a key speech before the German Parliament has a plan to me a good definition and make throws the spotlight on a word which is part of our most essential captain eri freedom is the meaning of this what is now very concrete because the measures agreed by the government and federal states in the spring and yesterday restrict our freedom. Actually the same time we can understand freedom does not mean everybody does what they want especially man freedom means responsibility merkel was constantly interrupted and the Parliament Speaker saw himself forced to call for order the biggest Opposition Party in the board to stop the far right if he was quick to slam the measures given to the one we consider the paralysis of the cultural industry the Hospitality Industry and practically the entire social life as announced by mrs merkel to be excessive and inappropriate now one of the Big Questions is whether citizens will actually comply with these new measures the government has enjoyed high levels of support but criticism is on the rise and theres also an evidence coronavirus fatigue. For this im not joined by Political Correspondent for the chance to. Discuss these strict measures and what shes saying about the threat level that makes this so important right now well it has been probably the most prominent person in germany warning about the developments for weeks and months now if we go back just a month at that time she predicted that we would be around 19000. 00 cases by the end of the year and a month ago that was regarded as alarmist now we have for each 17000 today so were very close to that just 4 weeks later and 2 weeks ago she had another meeting with the regional leaders of germany the 16 federal states where certain measures were decided and im glad not to went public after that meeting saying that she felt that that was not enough that the measures were not strict enough 2 weeks later as i say we are reaching new records clearly she was correct so now she is saying its time to act its time to very decisively the numbers of infections are rising very quickly and what shes really focusing on is that these this rise in effect in sections leads to conduct. Parallel rise in the number of cases in the hospitals and those are doubling every 10 days at the moment so shes saying we have another 2 or 3 steps in that doubling before we reach the capacity exceed the capacity in the hospital so within 2 to 3 weeks we could be in a crisis situation hospitals thats why theyre saying now we have to stop this. Not to try to make the case for for these measures but the opposition of was quite strong actually. Saying it was excessive and inappropriate somebody spoke of a blind action is im. Not so much acceptance right now if we look back to march there was more acceptance wasnt it is i think you can say that in march everybody was in a sense shocked by what happened with that virus one was not really used to it yet it was a new phenomenon and one wasnt clear about what measures actually would be effective so i think people then solved the heaviest possible measure namely a locked on for several weeks was appropriate at the time now we are more familiar with the virus people to some extent i think feel that it is to them personally is especially if youre young and not as threatening as one had thought maybe and also were talking about very very serious consequences for business for the economy and especially those parties more on the right of the political spectrum who are close to business interests other parties that are now criticizing these measures as being too drastic they are advocating measures that would be more targeted and would leave Business Life less seriously affected but the government says this is the way to go its an attempt to keep as it were Serious Business going the factories being closed down but at the same time those parts of business live such that there are concerns recreation and entertainment theres a being shut down to prevent people from gathering still many say the cuts into Civil Liberties are far far too deep what about Public Opinion is the nation still behind and measures there are clearly cuts into Civil Liberties live Civil Liberties are being restricted the freedom of movement is being restricted the freedom of assembly is being restricted so clearly there are Civil Liberties. Issues involved here. But i think what you can expect in the population the most recent polls have shown that the support for such measure still is very very high and most recent poll this week saw that more than half of people agreed with the measures they were that were instituted after a time before these new measures and 30 percent in addition say the measures were too slow in other words we have roughly an 80 percent agreement to these measures so i think at the moment in terms of the support in the population the government is still doing very well up a little course from tons on think you for this analysis to australia now where this state of victoria has reported just one new corona virus infection in the last 24 hours a day after 4 months lockdown was lifted in the state capital Melbourne City has been the epicenter of the pandemic in australia the shutdown has been one of the worlds longest and some took the opportunity to celebrate their new freedoms in one of melbournes bars some restrictions are still in place though a travel limit of 25 kilometers is still in effect for people in the city and mosques must still be one outdoors. So are there any lessons here for countries in europe that are scrambling to regain control of the pandemic like germany for example when i joined by professor adrian estimate a professor of bias statistics and epidemiology at the university of South Australia and i think were having technical problems with that line to us for the know here we are process them and thanks for joining us how confident are you that numbers can be kept low in australia. I am very confident its estimated theres only a 3 percent chance that we go into a 3rd wave we have as you rightly pointed out very low daily case numbers we have. 2600 contacts racialist with only a population of 6000000 into area which is a very very big ratio. And with the number of cases we have and always make sure that everythings in control on top of that the number of cases of the noncontact we call the mystery cases here and i will say extremely loud so i think were fairly confident that we now have it under control. Countries here in europe. Well in the beginning but theyre now like germany for example experiencing soaring numbers what do you think went wrong here probably opening up too early. Understand in a lot of europe there was some a season people wanted to go out and go on holidays and party and this just got out of control. So whats your advice then to get the situation back under control here well one of the reasons why australias been so successful is that each state and territory in australia has got its own department of health and obviously its an premier and the 1st thing this training government did was to form a National Cabinet so all the heads of the different states and territories got together with the federal government and formed a National Cabinet to get a war cabinet on top of that all of the chief medical offices of the state and territory got together and formed a committee and that is to work hand in hand now i dont know what the general has done the same thing that they havent now would be the 1st thing i would do everything at a national level. I think the 2nd thing is that sorry. If you continue the story. Yes so the 2nd thing is that at the moment you have far too many cases for your contact traces to be able to handle it so everythings got out of control so the 1st thing to do is to try try and reduce the number of daily cases so that your contact traces can i manage now im talking about hundreds of cases rather than thousands and so your current restrictions youre putting on your current partial lockdown will probably do the trick and enable the numbers to get low enough your contact traces to get a hold of it so i think that thats a good thing that youre doing well though i dont know whether one month will be long enough but certainly its a good step in the right direction the other really key important thing is testing testing testing so and in the victoria stay there 24000 tests which is a huge number so you have to keep testing going and the final thing is that if you have open borders with other countries you just keep importing more and more cases so if i was in china germany id close my borders and then try and get the numbers down we learned a lot. In your view briefly what trees have managed the pandemic most effectively so far aside from australia well youve got south korea vietnam in particular done a brilliant job. Many Asian Countries have done extremely well a number of countries reporting 0 cases im not sure id trust their statistics but certainly countries like singapore south korea. New zealand hold an extremely well. Estimate from the university of South Australia thank you very much youre very welcome to have.

Firefighters in california continue to battle major wildfires near los angeles which have been raging since monday thousands of residents in some areas were allowed to return to their homes though after calmer winds helped firefighters beat back 2 of the fires. Fighting between armenia and azerbaijan over the disputed region of nagornokarabakh has entered its 2nd months after a 3rd ceasefire failed on tuesday the region lies within azerbaijan but has been under the control of Armenian Forces since a war that ended in 1904 a truth spoken by the us fails to take effect monday just like 2 earlier cease fires negotiated by russia. I mean by john continued to blame each other for ceasefire Violations Including food water and medicine moment heres an interesting Mission Point 3 minute here you need an ear meaning capital are working around the clock to get peace and says it is to those in need. Weve been here since the start of the conflict and say the intend to see it through to the end. Because across the border a new Government Cut above the need is great. Or to re fairings down on cities throughout the region being only in the fog of war is making it hard to verify basic facts on the ground. But these images at least to the extent of the damage in the regional capital stop i cared. For tens of thousands of already fled the violence like these women who found refuge in the armenian capital bringing with them stories of friends and neighbors killed and injured while seeking shelter in basements or even churches. For some it was all they left with. The failure to there was a man on the street from me may god protect him and he said get in the car ill get you out of here move for move can you imagine our house burnt to the ground in 2 hours we didnt manage to save anything. The women gathered here see the world has turned their back on them. Eboshi everyone is standing around and waiting like this is some kind of game theyre just waiting to see what happened in that cynic the news the bit i cannot. Believe just maybe its just criminal the world is behaving criminally but its because no one is listening to. It just look up or. We will be victorious a message in blazing on video screens and patriotic posters throughout the capital well there are no official figures observers claimed thousands of young armenians are volunteering for military service. Government is one of them. Film an artist but its each of our responsibility to serve our fatherland is in a difficult situation. We need to protect our territory. Were not going anywhere. Which. 2 flags flying. On the left flank of armenia. On the right flank of the or mean on cleve knew going to a nuclear bomb. Here soon called a disability result and perhaps. You would know in the fight when you go to karbala. Now lets bring in our correspondent. Who is in azerbaijan and tilton who is in the armenian capital you have on our and you filed a report thats. Coming in this morning about fresh fighting in the region what are you hearing. Well thats right carol harden right off the bat i have to say because of the nature of this conflict its very hard to verify actual facts on the ground that being said mcgovern no box Defense Ministry has indicated that at least 50 people both soldiers and civilians have lost their lives in the part due to airstrikes and shelling overnight now i have been in contact with journalists who are actually embedded in the regional capital step on a cat and they have confirmed that they were also able to see some of those strikes and hear those strikes and they said the rate of artillery fire has increased overnight so it seems at least fair to say at this hour that they had the violence in the run the government is increasing their heavy attack on close to the enclave was reported yesterday but i mean a denies any involvement what can you tell us about. Well thats not entirely surprising you have to remember but since the 1st day of this conflict its kind of gone hand in hand with dueling accusations and denials of responsibility whats interesting about bought a die is though it has actually appeared on a list of legitimate targets by the Yemeni Military in the past so if they were actually involved in that strike then some of the violence weve seen around the government out about today could be seen as maybe some type of retaliatory action for the strike and lot of the. Jewel. If you were in bar yesterday after the talk what did you witness that. Well this has been the deadliest attack here in the deadliest reported to attack since the fighting over nagornokarabakh started over a months ago weve been in fargo just hours after it happened we saw burned out cars and several houses completely destroyed and many people in shock now as a by john has actually accused Armenian Forces of having attacked barda with a socalled smoke missiles Cluster Munition this is a particularly devastating and deadly type of weapon banned by many countries around the world except as a by john and armenia and armenia has leveled similar allegations over the past weeks against as i john human rights organizations have confront these claims on the ground now this is a dangerous escalation more than 100 civilians on both sides have already lost their lives in this war so as the fighting continues this number is very likely to increase.
