Decider in this years election plus another vibrant tradition falls victim to the coronavirus mexicos day of the dead parades and parties more than massively slimmed down this year leaving many to remember their lost loved ones in isolation. Im sorry kelly walk into the program a number of European Countries are really imposing coronavirus restrictions as they struggle to stay ahead of the pandemics 2nd wave our coverage begins in germany which from today is back under a partial lockdown until the end of november social gatherings are limited to 2 households bars restaurants and Sports Centers and Entertainment Venues have to remain closed and hotels are prohibited from providing rooms to tourists. The measures are in response to what is being called an exponential rise in infections. One more round before long time sunday was the last chance for germans to visit bars and restaurants before an unforced month long closure its a heavy blow to businesses still struggling to recover from the 1st loctite in the spring. Of the shaab the economic damage can no longer be measured you can just forget this whole year right this year off. This year isnt about making money anymore its just about survival and saving jobs lets all just between. The German Government has announced up to 10000000000 euros of aid for businesses and the self employed it says the new measures are necessary to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed there are still enough intensive care beds available but some areas of facing shortages of medical stuff to care for rising numbers of coronavirus patients. And the government is desperate to avoid shutting schools and childcare centers. Instead the focus is on recreation the fresh closures and tightened restrictions on socializing come after low infection numbers over the summer allowed to return to relative normality on sunday evening some took that chance for one must despite politicians pleas to stay home Johnson America once again appealed to the public in her weekend video podcast. Even the Google Google do you see this is just we must do everything in our power to get the numbers and factions under control we must face this test together and stand together in solidarity in unspoken promise is the prospect of family get togethers at christmas but if infection rates dont fall and extended lockdown cant be ruled that. And lets get more on the situation were joined by d. W. Political correspondent tom sparrow standing by for us in berlin thomas how is the Health System coping with this rise of infections at this point the Health System is still coping experts are pointed to the fact that intensive care beds are Still Available ventilators as well but they have also pointed to the fact that this could quickly change if coronavirus cases continue to grow in the speed at the speed as weve seen in the last few days and weeks this is the absolute key point to understand why germany is now facing this possible lockdown the speed at which the corona virus is spreading and those same experts are saying that if it continues this way in 2 or 3 weeks the public Health System will have reached its limit and that is again the reason why were seeing these restrictions as of today and for the whole of november which includes obviously closing bars restaurants and so on but at the same time keeping schools and many shops open and we have heard once again from the german chancellor a plead for the nation she says stand together in this crisis thomas are people obeying the measures from the government are they following them. I think there is an understanding at least by a majority of germans that these measures were necessary to reduce that speed in which the virus is spreading even if even if that came at a particular cost namely fewer freedoms when i just mentioned a 2nd ago the closing of bars restaurants and so on but at the same time and this is particularly important i also think criticism has been growing both on the street but also politically we saw for example last week in the German Parliament a very big debates on whether these measures are actually going to be effective and what the right course of action is for germany on their race a very evident coronavirus fatigue and i would say that thats a coronavirus fatigue that were not only seeing here in germany but in other countries as well and that explains also why the challenge now is a particularly big challenge for german officials and that explains why im going to call repeatedly has been telling citizens that this is a very important moment that it comes down to everyones responsibility theyre trying to get the cases under control if that does not happen could we see the lockdown extended could we see tougher measures the key element here in this particular point is in 2 weeks time the regional leaders of germany 16 federal states will meet again to assess whether the measures so far have been effective or whether further measures will be needed but german officials have stressed on various occasions sabra that they want to avoid a full lockdown they want to avoid comprehensive restrictions and thats why so far this lockdown now these restrictions now have been described as a sort of lockdown night where schools and shops can remain open but the focus as we saw in our report is on Closing Everything that has to do with entertainment Thomas Sparrow with a few from berlin thank you. And germany isnt the only country looking at tighter measures were also getting news from italy as Prime Minister sceptic contact has just been speaking in parliament lets bring in Philip Whelan who is standing by with a view from brown philip what did the Prime Minister have to say well he said i wont be telling people the situation its very grave. And action needs to be taken literally is going to adopt a 3 tier approach somewhat similar to what happened in the United Kingdom modulating the restrictions in relation to the level of infection risk in the different regions of the country but its also taking various National Steps closing for example museums betting shops and Shopping Centers on the weekends. To open nationwide theres also talk of a curfew in the evening and if so what the most likely time movie and 9 pm after which he will not be allowed out on the streets and the final details are being worked out at the moment so how are people like literary acts have that because theres been resistance over restrictions like that before in italy. Thats right that it really responded very well to the 1st lockdown the population was very disciplined and people appreciated that it was necessary for their health and they accepted 2 months of very Strict Lockdown in fact they were even pointed out as an example to the rest of the world but clearly now the economic effect so being felt people are angry and frustrated and in fact Prime Minister complex acknowledged actually in speech and we have now been to see seeing as violent protests in the streets and thats a very worrying sign that said if a lot of people are. Determined to resist these measures and prepared to cause trouble i think could be very difficult for the italian authorities to cope with what happened to confront police over the coming weeks and months its really until just recently was this mentioned quite well in the pandemic what happened. Well i dont think anyone knows for sure what has caused the numbers to go out of control again but i do think that possibly schools serve reopening the premises are sent to High School High School Students who have to go back to that Online Learning is staying at home i think public transport in the major cities has been a problem in theory they were to operate at 80 percent of their capacity but the public transport here just simply trying to cope and under the new rules its said to have the public transport will operate at 50 percent capacity i find it very difficult to imagine that working in practice as i think people have commented on the fact that italian city being now denied the possibility to go out to bars and restaurants in the evenings but theyre liable to get infected when they try to go to work in the mornings with. Buses and underground absolutely chockablock with people Philip Whelan in rome thank you for a 2nd of them other stories making news around the world.

Well today is the last full day of campaigning in one of the most anticipated u. S. Elections in decades u. S. President donald trump heads to several states including North Carolina and wisconsin his democratic rival joe biden and running mate kamel harris are focusing on the key state of pennsylvania most major polling shows that biden is ahead in critical battleground states but on the campaign trail on sunday trump was undeterred. The final dance before the big election day on tuesday. U. S. President donald trump addressed for now take fans in 5 different swing states on sunday with his usual self confidence were going to win 4 more years in that very beautiful white house. With your vote we will get into. To cut your taxes cut regulations and ensure that bore products are made and raised and grown in the usa. With only a couple of days left to complain trump focused on crucial swing states like michigan and iowa before heading to georgia and florida. Despite brett butler rising coronavirus cases in the us supporters packed into the rallies most of them not adhering to social distancing rules or wearing masks. That were very different scenes at joe bidens compay in valleys in pennsylvania most supporters stayed in their cars at the Democratic Candidates and welcome them president droppers terrified of what will happen to the president you know if the people president get that other say if you have your say he doesnt stand a chance biden also blasted trump for dividing the country and thats exactly what trump for trying to do for her to guarantee dividing america based on race religion gender National Origin its wrong its not who we are biden has a Comfortable Lead in most of the polls but he knows that election day turnout will be crucial in deciding the new president of the United States. And a lot of eyes will be on the biggest of the swing states florida the past 2 elections have seen a way for a thin margin between the winner and a loser President Trump is banking on the support of one of the states maine voting blocks the latino vote and hed have used carolina chinmoy has been to find out how the republicans under President Trump have tapped into a narrative that has found appeal among floridas cuban americans. They want to see donald trump stay in the white house and theyre determined to deliver. For florida for him its a must win state for the presidency even at this scale back democrat rally in orlando the triumph orders are far louder. Trump has strong support from a large part of the Latino Community here in florida this despite things which would seem almost designed to put latinos off like the hair schwartz he has used to describe immigrants im here to find out why the hispanic vote leans more republican here in florida nearly a 3rd of the latino voters in florida have cuban roots including. Morris had of latinos for trump in orlando she was 15 when her family fled cuba after losing everything to the government of fidel castro they just knock one day at the door and they said this is ours now we had lost everything you know we had lost our beautiful hall. The ranch the chauffeur but we had a different life and you adopt. Thats why voting is so important to me because its the gift that this country has given me that i didnt have they took away. One of her biggest fears like many other cuban americans is the idea that the system they fled could be adopted in the United States no i dont think joe biden is a socialist or a communist but i do believe the people around him are and they have the same socialist ideas that i lived through in cuba and ive seen in venezuela so yes i do believe that hes surrounded with that and a leader is as good as the people around them being pro trump is slowly becoming something to president s supporters keep to themselves because there can be consequences mike or plumber is also a devoted trump support i had for you i have 000 right for a. 40 or you know the lesser of the last year when i was this is you know appropriate person wrong word because you dont want to do the job you were charged already provided through just to do the job and thats all right you 2 were. Its not just a fear of socialism driving support for trump. Many latino voters are catholic and support the republican position against abortion and it may seem counter intuitive but many also supports tromso hard line on immigration even from latin american countries. That trump tells the truth i dont want other hispanics to come into the u. S. Even if they are from my country peru if they dont pay taxes that is not fair so if more hispanics come and dump a taxes they seal and live off the money they get from the government then im a racist too and i also say get out its not fair that those that come through the board border illegally painted for you already 10000. 00 to come here and we dont know. They are they could be right based here in florida support for President Trump and the republicans is deeply emotional if thats a poor does reflect it at the ballot box it could decide the election. And u. S. Voters heading to the polls tomorrow we are joined here in the studio by william glu crossed from our us Election Team how important is the latino vote i mean theyre important but a lot of groups are important you know they make up 17 percent of floridas electorate 2 and a half 1000000 registered latino voters most of them it should be said are democrats or not affiliated or not affiliated voters across all groups are leaning by it in the source so called independent voters they are the largest voting minority now in the United States more than 13 percent across the country are latino voters as more of them than black American Voters but we sure we we need to make very very clear there is no such thing as a teen auteur group these are people from dozens of countries with hundreds of personal experiences many of them are by now full fledged americans they have been here have been been in the United States for generations this is not the stereotypical immigrant story that we hear so often about so they are very important theyve been important for decades now at least you know going back to the 2000 election remember how much it was talked about the cuban vote in florida but many other retired retired communities older people you know rule white noncollege educated lots of groups are important which was decisive is what were going to find out this week the candidates have been on the campaign trail just walk us through where they have been in the past couple of days and what that tells us about where the critical areas are likely to be the swing states right pennsylvania wisconsin michigan obama is stumping for biden in florida in georgia florida we as weve seen some important georgia of traditionally republican state that they might be able to pick off so obviously theyre hitting the states that especially pennsylvania wisconsin michigan traditionally leaning democrat trump won them by a razor thin margin were talking about 80000. 00 vote. Difference thats what got gave trump the presidency in 2680000 votes in those 3 states if i think youll win those votes back this is bidens when big picture this is most certainly an election like no other not least because of the pandemic what is america bracing for over the next week and beyond uncertainty you know every state decides for itself how it counts its votes and when it counts its votes sometimes even down to the town or the county. So some have to have their votes counted by election day some can still be voting for several days afterward so or god knows how both campaigns and especially trump because he said it is on the record for wanting to spin the Election Results in their favor just the pure math means we will not know many states officially which way theyve gone there could be a biden favored one direction a trump favor in another direction early on that could swap by the end we really have to be patient until voting counts are in and are fully in at county and state levels to really know whos won this election thats probably not going to happen tuesday night we wont know until we know from our u. S. Election team thank you thanks.

Is a well known figure shes particularly renowned. And. Building an Animal Rescue shelter wasnt part of her plan but after volunteering at the sanctuary in the mid capacity she set up a shelter in 2002 with a sanctuary that was meant to take you know 55 dogs originally yesterday teeming with creatures great and small the animals of come to as an accident cases we had closed down illegal circus so some of the dogs and horses came from there. So of course some horses were abandoned and we got them full of. You know things like that.

Out of the 100 or unless youre close to 500 are dogs india has the highest population of street dogs and a good ice to mentor around 35000000 a spot of an animal but control program dogs are supposed to be done adopt sterilized and then return to where they are found but gopalan says it has been poorly implemented the procedure at the shelter unfortunately the program has not been as successful as we would want because when theyre picked up theyre also vaccinated and the fear is what its one is the fear of being bitten by dogs the other is the field rabies which is a very real thing in this country. To protect animals to stop this more than 60 years ago and fantasies have not been updated for kuti against and its just one instance the fine is all 52. 00 pigs thats less than 0. 60. It is meant that in the states like punjab and. Underground dogfighting rings continue to flash. Exotic birds and animals continue to be bred in captivity. In the case of emus these birds that are not native to india brought more than 20 years ago from australia to promote farm as a Partnership Project between both governments the trend that never really took off the concerns found was that they would make a lot of money selling any more eggs. So you move into nimoy eggs did not become popular. So all they did was that they let so many obviously died and the ones the few that weve managed to get they were injured dog bites and so we found them. And thats how theyve come to us initially bootstrapped with personal savings and investment from a father all creatures great and small today primarily relies on donors for its funding to keep up with its increasing need the farm is on its way to becoming selfsufficient. But go balance 1st priority remains making sure that animals get the care and attention she believes they deserve. You know when people tell me that they hate animals or they dont like dogs i cant stand cats you dont want to missing forget about our relationship with our loved ones and our families and our friends all over this transaction but this is one relationship between human beings and animals that is known for. A relationship to go bad and have volunteers do their best to nurture. Just like underneath there are many and bad mentalists around the world working to undo any harm caused. Duignan mean fires for example weve all seen the horrific images of being beaten with rock under india or california in the us in germany scientists are trying Something Different experimenting to seeing what would happen if a forest of ravaged by fire was left more or less to its own devices. With beech trees maples or estens jeanette bloom her and aebischer are always glad to see a new member of the family arrive about 12 months ago the 2 researchers began documenting changes big and small to this section of a forest ravaged by fire. We got what we hoped for i mean the ecosystem is starting to recover and certain species are quickly appearing and spreading such as these aspens theyve now brought about changes to the area that are in turn helpful for other species. Dont for a good 6 and in aug 28th seen a forest fire raised almost 4 square kilometers of woodland outside the town of twine pleats in eastern germany an area larger than 500 pitches the usual practice after a forest fire is to clear the entire area and replant trees as seen on this private land but not in this case thanks to a government funded project here dead trees are left standing. Local forest banket is testing an alternative solution removing most of the dead pine trees and planting other species in their place the idea is to create a mixed forest thats also home to oaks poplars and other deciduous trees. To me so i can i 1st wanted to see which species of tree i could use and how old they need to be before being transplanted carrying out tests is important to get the full picture. And thats when the forest abroad in the expertise of these researchers theyre here to find out the best way for a forest to be able to regenerate and become more climate resistant with or without human assistance. The researchers take a hands off approach limiting their work to observing which plants and animals settle in the habitat its a rare opportunity. Its now standard procedure i just see to it that we repair the damage that humans have done all too frequently we do not give nature the time or space to do that itself and that deprives us of the chance to learn from nature to forgive him for all the false stuff and. Among the things they have learned is that in addition to providing shade dead wood also enhanced of the soil when it falls to the ground it creates more humans which gives the soil more moisture the work is carried out on his test areas is on a smaller scale than is common in conventional Forest Management there billy accessible by car and hes a wreck did a fence around the forest to keep the larger animals at bay he left a number of dead trees standing leaves have also been spread to keep the soil moist and protected during drought year were seeing large scale forest fires in the region and thats going to continue so we need to learn how to respond. And thats why researchers in that blue murder is here shes been collecting data on soil humidity and temperature which plants and animals settle there and how all these factors impact on the ecosystem 8 other Research Institutes are also involved in the project the data gathered over the projects 5 year time frame is being collected at her university and has filed a near bilin but he doesnt have its high death data shows that natural reach even nation far exceeds the number of trees planted by humans. We have seen up to 3 times the amount. Naturally resettling compared to the fine or oak trees that were planted on the area around what i pointed out after i think of wooden. The researchers are also part of an International Network theyre eager to hear about the experiences of colleagues in the us and mediterranean countries and to learn if and how forest ecosystems can be made more robust. Figure and starts pooling our work is really important it can help us to compare biomes or large ecological zones so that we can discuss common patterns or and also told. One thing the number of studies show is that even the remains of trees killed or damaged in severe fires help the forest ecosystem rebound which supports the argument of letting nature be. How does being in a god. Doesnt calm you down doesnt make you more confident Research Shows that contact with meter can help. And it can even help people who are suffering from depression and other Mental Health. Clinic in the city of chennai introduced. As part of the patients rehabilitation programme.
