the bundesliga has delivered some thrilling scenes this season it's been crazy competitive with tight races up and down the table. but what's truly interesting is just who are involved in these races some surprising sides have been flying much higher than expected. newly promoted stuttgart have defied all expectations taking the lead by storm and pushing for europe but nothing can bring a soaring squash down to earth quicker than a states with pie in munich. lucky one year on berlin have also been punching well above their weight in the european conversation but they have to face an even bigger positive surprise package i talked frank. while the only thing truly shocking about is how they managed to remain so i'm spectacular despite sitting securely. a champions league spot that's coming. we've got a high flyers crash landings out everything in between this week take us. let's start with 2 over performance under a silver has been on her front for its talk on the season now the 19 goals and a huge factor in frankfurt for they came into this clash and 4th place on track for the champions league. frankfurt hosted 7th place money on berlin also performing above expectations thanks in part to mexico's a leo and i'm knocking on europe's door and had lost their 4 game since his return from injury. and the vistas fired the 1st warning shots in the opening minute. but it. was tonight. this looked every bit a clash of 2 teams that love to attack. at. frankfurt immediately fired a shot of their own the difference being this went into the net. and blasted the honest but under silva it was the 20th of the campaign for the portugal international. carcetti had to look on an approval as phillip costed beautifully teed up silva for the opening goal. but didn't we mention only own have a seasoned shop shooter of their own just 5 minutes later made it one of the. frankfurt protest of the not quarter has to be had been felled by lee and rested in the build up and they seem to have a point but vieira said the goal stood. so berlin were back in business and looked to be the better side who were they. just at not all that and they stayed in the 35th minute. yes that was his own neck the ball went in to. under it was trying to pass it back to his goalkeeper but the ball cold wind towards the net and there's little slipped before he could get to it. only on coach fisher was beside himself with. the momentum had now swung even until more playing better front foot pounds to gain a few minutes later. this time still the time provided for caustic to fight in one of his own free won. the hosts really look the part of champions league contenders . must have felt like they were playing pick your poison when silva added another 2 minutes later his 21st of the season. pinpoint a passing slice through the lens nick defense smooth finishing left them scattered on the ground. girl did i do it and we conceded 3 goals in 6 minutes that won't do you you can't play football like that we can't play football like that. one young one not to be counted out but. also back to bryce as he had done in the 1st encounter early of the season by placing the ball exactly where it needed to be. needed for to. why that also in the race for europe they now had some hope after a 1st half that saw 6 goals a bonus like a festive season and the visitors came out firing. in the 2nd half palestine understated in their production by the woodwork. when you had $24.00 goal attempts to frankfurt's 9 but the huntsman discount timothy chandler hammered the final nail in the coffin and stoppage time taking advantage of another oneone defensive blunder 5 to the final school statistic that actually counts. frank that proves they were more effective and mature than any own more of a true top team at the balance remain one of the season's big surprises and they will likely never forget this stunning moment. one of the things that makes football the beautiful game is how an unexpected event can turn the course of a match i think once again but what is out justice is. my words. was a mistake there on the days didn't look up to saying well lou it's a waltz and i think lucas lives at the wrong imo but take a look again. that's what he slid lutes up the ball coming back with a lot of pace vontae and it goes all the way and one only gallo his 1st own goal in the bonus league 21 for frank but. i mean the ones on the i took it down and wanted to play it back to the keeper with my left eye i don't know if the ball sprung up a little bit but i definitely connected well with it i shouldn't have allowed it to happen but it did me in a moment but you had better luck next time and now for another team surprising the leak of. what could be running through value of a horse head maybe he's asking himself what he has to do to get. cold up for the netherlands he schooled 16 goals this season after all maybe it's down to his club . both spurred maybe on course to qualify for the champions league but they aren't exactly grabbing the headlines they're in in conspicuous bunch. for example midfield master monkey arnold captain germany to the euro under 21 title in 2017 but keeps getting snubbed by you her nerves despite performances and goals like this. both spoke courage of a glass now doesn't mind this way his charges stay fresh and fit. 8 minutes into the match against bremen and i know took one of his deadly free kicks and his team for one milan. a different angle shows it was bring and just sergeant with the unfortunately placed hetta. again both spoke took the lead the season in and unspectacular atlanta. clock tried to take credit for the goal although everyone knew it wasn't really his doing. braman courage floyd and co fed could see trouble brewing on the horizon plus from a lack swagger but they were efficient and clearly better. it was meant to be this time around the fake past would have his moment. coach class now knows his team will keep at it and deliver the goods when the time is right. like in the 42nd minute when a blocked call felt of a cost on a solar plant or. 7 a set up the world's 2nd he may not be a household name but he is an austrian international and a rock in this robust team. this is the pay. spoke of a stiff resistance until recourse discoursed. both spoke had the league's 2nd best offense and with big cost now in $17.00 goals also one of the best attackers. the 2nd quarter was as we want to do it very high price winning the ball and. it's looks like it was a little bit of a lucky that the ball comes to outweigh those but this is when we. moved to the ball all together it's very often the ball comes to our strike and while there's a great finisher it was dutchman's 15th dollars since joining the club at this rate the fans will build a monument in his honor he's one of the league's most efficient finishers. but let's not forget opponents braman who pulled one back through kevin let out before the break still that a no real threat to clubs above them. to move stayed on course for their 14th one of the season and came close to extending their lead in to kevin in battle in the 2nd house. even because it could have added to his tally . absolutely if you would everyone every single person i know it's he wants to play in a champions league so we have to and we will fighting for the. coast but when another game an unremarkable fashion it won't mind as they remain on course to qualify for the glamorous champions league next up the compact. half. pushing for a champions league spot dortmund headed to cologne meeting points the beleaguered sweyn listen 5 should have been ideal hosts indeed a woman welcome arrived after just 3 minutes thanks to emery john's pass and early . holden's lethal finishing. a goal which had it all a delicate touch strength to compose to finish. a week to seal the deal. but cologne levelled fruit. cake before half time. things got even worse for dortmund when cologne took the lead through smile jacobi in the 65th minute. a bad day at the office for dortmund's defenders nothing new that. all and saw a golden opportunity ping off the post lights on. even boy wonder began to look worried. about the poachers perseverance paid off eventually to 90th minute top in rescued and drop 2 points dropped for one european hopeful let's find out how another goes on in the capital. is under pressure with late accusing stuttering a trip to hansen provided a chance to get things back on track. at the home side struck fast they did it with style. people bessie is a fax 1st go for has a plan now and the 4th minute. and then it goes to the end of the back here when least nuttiness could have been presented to the rest. at 13 match goal drought is finally over for the had too much money. a 3rd goal arrived before half time after some dizzying movement in the box on court about finally got the crucial shot away. leave a couzens man not clearly not miked for added humiliation. uncomfortable viewing for peter it was leaving cousens heaviest defeat of the season. but now 2 teams in even worse form. smiling faces in the stands on a rare sight these days 7 straight losses get shall get someone to miss a. bunch of balls revival began after 15 minutes markers to the excellent wing play causing the usual chaos before last until smash time to break the deadlock. where they go it was left looking unimpressed with his defenders. stefan line up hardly had to work to make it to bill from a corner after the hour mark shelters netminder with a familiar feeling. there was no denying it was a bold pick blockbuster good colonel himself sealed a 3 mil defeat. i'm glad i finally get it when under those replacement seems sense xabi alonso will reportedly take over for the poles in the off season. mind another side praying for points. and they will get to the dream started hoffenheim after clumsy defending allowed what battle to open the scoring. high and lonely chris richards with the costly era in the opening minutes. which it sumptuous goal to us people may demand shortly after the total international made no mistake to level the schools. but a short corner to dominic or just moments later again had in mind the advantage and 3 points. out of the relegation zone for the 1st time since match day 8 a cold specific russian. fribourg arrive for this home game in that way strip the result of a kid clash which would have cost. issues for a color blind fly ball player. michael coach because just like made his own clothing adjustments ahead of kick off. the home side didn't let woodrow bolger asians affect them though taking the lead through in the 2nd half. a contender for assist of the season from mr. philip klein hot made it to mill to seal all 3 points with 10 minutes left to play. a little help from the post and then v.a.r. to put the game to bad. mouth the strong showing from 5 books now 3 points off the european spalls. next to a team with even lofty ambitions. union not us months like sick arrive to beat a felt one objective and make to keep the title chasing life. 896 passes mustard only a single goal for the best has been a difficult day for the strikers. the breaks were right out of the past number 540 i saw such as it was a man on the end of it. 6 goals the austrian this campaign and one which keeps the title chase interesting. south leipzig to the juicy galaxy have by emphatic instant informs took out hot. stock of coach pelligrino mussarat sos mantra is you can achieve more than you think. much about so develop his players by continuously overwhelming them in training this helps them improve their handling of stress and high pressure situations and what better way to put. they still need to use than a stress test against fire. took us up over performing considering it's their 1st season back in the top flight so why couldn't they cause an upset and beat byron they definitely came to munich with a plan with just a minute on the clock see last moment he took a beat alfonso davies in a sprint as has been the case so often this season by and started the game poorly stuttgart however did not. it got even worse for byron in the 11th minutes davies clattered into was how to end all and sore yellow. but v.a.r. so more after a closer look davies was given straight red for the foul by a man who had already started the game paulie would spend the next 79 minutes and man down. but what this did for stuttgart state of mind was fittingly summed up by their coach. but one of 2 things happened i think either that the players felt more pressure to win the game we weren't as free as we were before in even numbers or we thought that it was just going to go on its own or just run on its own for a while it was looking pretty good for the visitors sasha almost scored his 14th goal of the season were it not for money. however from this point on it was by ends game says gnabry was left absolutely alone on the left flank of the 18th minute to set up robert levin dusky. it was amazing stood up had an extra player yet all of a sudden without a chance against buying. the hosts were back in business this is how well. team has to play against a promoted side mabry made it to. it look like stuart got who prepared for absolutely everything except having a numerical advantage which just seems to confuse them. i think we have our plan our game plan and off the direct costs. it changed and we wasn't really expecting that so i felt like. we didn't really know which guy has to guard which guy. everyone was was running and nothing was really really connecting everything was connecting the alphabet. set up a little distance and bonds with the 3rd goal in 5 minutes. struck up with making it all too easy for one of the world's best strike is good news for him as he blasts his way ever closer to the bundesliga top school record. so watched from the sidelines as his side were put in their place just before the break leroy sonny was let free down the wing and set up you guessed it. for his 35th goal of the season the match was now so. it was a couple percent points that we invested less and against a team like by munich. you can't you can't invest less you can't do less because they're capable of scoring 3 goals in 5 minutes like they did against us in the 2nd healthy living almost made it 36 for the season almost. lesson learned for stuttgart over perform all you like you need a perfect mindset to take on the likes of byron. he is making history and once more he's how much they hear and i'm sure they did just that spot just as i was that. into 2nd place only so i listed as a. goal number 206 a guy he's gone past. he can say thank you to get out by the public service. to get a medal like. i. trying to. piece 11 just a little bit says 196 months later go by on. 11 don't skate simply wrong stumble and or mistake bad and so on couldn't get hold of a political job scandal such a huge. part how about that. oh but don't stay down just 5 of detonators record for a single campaign sent out by sunday. i'm told go to the sell button to up a goal and live on dusky us down still at it with a laugh but with the right foot i'm going to head. butt out here and says he's not focusing on breaking menace reco 40 goals in a season for a show on that score the goals but i don't think about this because you know i don't want to make so so big pressure on my head now and do it my my job. maybe. the remains 1st effect animal goal is. the result of the league's top tier of buying and leipsic both food and flung for. no surprises there more eyebrow raising whether victories mulched up by relegation present halftime and months before we see the table we've got the 3 best goals of the match day. at number 3 we've got philip hostage finishing off a nifty frankfurt sequence to find some silver still silver box comes to. play. while alan holland had a mind melting touch and finish. lands try 1st touch. and the best of the bunch was by an incredible team effort finished by satellite but that's ok i mean i can tell a. stab. at . the top of the table hasn't changed much in maintain their 4 point cushion of a life while surprise champions the contenders both in frankfurt solidify their positions. a bit of catching up. at the other end. it's the 1st time since november out of the bottom 3. that side deep into this pack thankfully there are still plenty of matches left to play. in this league of fans the pisky international break returns next week so we'll have a breather from club football. in 2 weeks time we've got an incredible match day coming your way. champions league aspirations and hopes of holding on to that talented youngsters who are on the line. face red in the battle for europe. some clubs are fighting for top flight survival. and to top it all off 2nd place tried to take his post league leaders but. i think it's going to be a fantastic game and i think everybody is looking forward to it. we'll have to do that homework if they want to challenge by the title there's plenty to get excited about in 2 weeks' time. robbed of their soul that's what a people experiences when their heritage is taken from them countless cultural artifacts were true stolen from africa by colonialists

country's toughest coronavirus lockdown since the pen demick began over a year ago well starting on april 1st most shops will close for 5 days and churches will have to council in person easter services chancellor angela merkel and state leaders grappled for hours over the new measures disagreements over travel proved a key sticking point. by the time they had finally wrapped up night the ton to morning energy had given way to exhaustion and what began as a one month partial lockdown newsnight nearly half a year long chancellor angela merkel summed up the seriousness of the situation facing germany. we basically have a new pandemic. the mutation from great britain has taken over means we have a new virus of course of the same kind but with very different properties that's unique to the guns and it's clearly more lethal more contagious and contagious for longer. that's why restrictions on public life will be extended until april 18th and gatherings over easter effectively cancelled. will slow down the east a lockdown will bring everything to a standstill for 5 consecutive days it will take the wind out of his sails of a pandemic and prevent new infections i know it is a great strain for many many of you hoping to go on holiday over easter but that is a hope that we will all have to put on hold and. not everyone germans will still be free to fly in search of some sun providing they test negative before they return home the holiday dispute comes amid a backlash over rules that allow tourists to fly to speed but not to holiday within germany. meanwhile the amish to keep schools and childcare centers open with the help of regular testing for teachers and pupils. longer term leaders are hoping that injecting some margin c. into their vaccination program will help end the lockdown. is a blow of we're in a race to get vaccinated and to feel its effect as soon as possible and for us there are now 2 main strategies caution and flexibility here is. the meeting laid bare the growing tensions between germany's outgoing chancellor and regional leaders in a relationship increasingly more of a conflict than consensus. well among the measures agreed to all non essential domestic travel is banned over the easter vacation but people will be allowed to fly to spain for a holiday i asked the chief political editor or what the justification was for that rule. it wasn't legally possible to ban travel particular to spain that would not hold up in court but at the same time having holy thursday now effectively a bank holiday here in germany which normally is an ordinary working day it's still not clear what the legal route towards in trying that will be precisely so that leaves people here with a pot pourri of new regulations that all put together don't really point towards any kind of coherent strategy once again a tough lock down it's supposed to be a wave break that's the argument but what has also become evident is that lockdown seems to be the only answer given every time that this group of state premiers meets the german chancellor with still no coherent testing strategy to speak of what is the level of acceptance among germans for days new measures what are you hearing well we don't have polling yet but we do know that still up to 3 courses of germans still support restrictions over all more in general and at the same time people are also not just the opposition in parliament here but we also spoke to people on the streets who have very differing views on whether this all makes sense or not let's have a listen into that. i think it's good of course it has serious consequences for students businesses and the hospitality industry. don't be silly they have to draw a tough line in order to contain the pandemic. so. it's a total catastrophe it's in comprehensible we have to live with the disease. completely it's completely wrong otherwise we'll never get a handle on. this whole circus the back and forth and michael always proclaiming she's invented a new word for something noir really going to get me a damn mouth and often through. my work in vaccinations and i see how the place looks and help people are affected that should definitely be a longer lockdown. trade nurse there michela can germany still turn things around i mean is there the expectations that these new measures will make up for lost ground when it comes for instance to germany's a sluggish vaccination rollout well scientists from the obama's call institute predict that this will make a difference and that it will help to contain what is a 3rd wave a completely new pandemic driven by this new mutation particularly from britain as angela merkel process but at the same time experts also say here that germany that europe simply wasn't fast enough to get enough people vaccinated to contain this wave and there are big question marks whether the government will now get going to increase its portfolio from merely locked down to a more intelligent system of allowing some possible openings which after all politicians had promised just over 2 weeks ago as a perspective out of this chief political editor mckenna krisna reporting thank you . and let's get you caught up on some of the other stories making news around the world. the united kingdom has held a minute's silence in london and across the nation to remember the 126000 people who have died in the current virus pandemic the u.k. is the worst affected european country and has the world's 5th highest recorded covert 19 death toll. the u.s. has pledged to rebuild and

to replace netanyahu just like right wing enough taliban and from yemenia who's left it open whether he would join a coalition with netanyahu we have about 3 to 4 leaders of the internet the now camp standing divided against that then you know so if you stand together but you are divided the ability of co-working is very limited so the ability for them to form a coalition that will be able to govern and will be able to survive. is improbable to reach a majority in the knesset the israeli parliament and to form a government parties need to get 61 out of 120 seats for many israelis netanyahu

revenues from their calendars as berlin keeps restrictions on domestic travel many business owners are wondering if they'll make it to summer. block downs in wealthier nations have a ripple effect in the developing world look at the drop in remittances from migrant workers. also on the show carmakers in america are touting their big plans around electric vehicles what about the charging stations take a look at one plan at the time to build out of electric infrastructure with the rollout of electric cars. to show. german business leaders have responded with frustration to new plans to extend the nation's patchwork lockdown until mid april with many warning that insolvencies would only grow national and regional government leaders agreed on the extension early tuesday morning under the new plan retail restaurants and hotels would largely remain closed until 18 new variants are spreading across germany sending case numbers up businesses have argued for loosening up under strict hygiene regulations. or germany's tourism industry is especially frustrated by the new rules which extend to message travel bans even as germans continue to travel overseas to favorite destinations like majorca and many were hoping the easter holidays would bring in some much needed revenue after recent lockdowns now business owners are wondering if they'll make it to summer. the same closed signs the same empty spaces germany's latest lockdown extension prolongs misery for businesses already suffering a year on from the 1st wave of lockdowns. that's lifelong desperation is growing existential fears are increasing dramatically and the endless lockdown isn't a solution so. the results in places like bavaria hope of an east of boost has melted away a ban on overnight stays by tourists will remain in place many hospitality manages feel the relatively normal summer of 2020 shows such tough restrictions on needed. and we're frustrated sad and disappointed that our industry is being dealt with this way after we proved last year that we are responsible and i guess its treatment that. the german hospitality sector claims one in 5 jobs has been lost during the pandemic but it's by no means the only industry that's hurting cafes restaurants shops all facing prolonged pain pain that many think was avoidable. account tell people they can fly to me york or in spain for shopping but they can't do that at home other measures will be better what we need is to speed up vaccinations and testing. the empty shopping streets and hotels are increasingly being blamed on the actions of the german government many businesses don't know how much longer they can afford to stay closed. well the consequences of lockdowns in wealthier countries are also felt much further away that's because migrants who normally send money back to families in their home countries have less work and thus less to send these remittances as they're called are no small sum they manage to more than half a trillion u.s. dollars in 2019 worldwide and that amount shrank noticeably last year as lockdowns bit in the wealthy world again limiting my group. work of the world bank believes this year will see even less money sent home and that could mean even more families falling into poverty in places like sub-saharan africa remittances there totaling 48000000000 dollars and 29000 nearly half of that roughly $21000000000.00 going to nigeria alone now for more on this i'm joined by the correspondent in nairobi joy beer joy good to see you what exactly does this effect have when there are fewer minces going to africa what what is the overall effect that you see so african countries depend on remittances from the diaspora to develop the economy so east basically part of the budgetary planning for economies of the african continent and so the fall in regions in countries like nigeria would lash affect the economy because the jury is not dependent on minerals mineral resources and oil price of crude oil dropped last year which affected its budgetary allocations and so that coupled with the drop in remittances was definitely grave conny but counties like kenya register a shot at rice in recent says in the year to 20 ok so not everyone following that trend that we've seen what are the prospects for migrant workers in their host countries in terms of getting vaccines for example getting back to work. getting vaccines would lastly depend on the working conditions for them as migrant workers in those host countries because really i don't know why for some of the wealthy
