President truong predicted that the media would stop talking about the coronavirus pandemic a day after the election. But the election was more than a week ago, and people are getting sick like never before. 1000 hospitalizations are at an all time high here in europe 2 weeks into their 2nd national lockdowns, germany and france say that the surge in new infections is slowing. The probability of catching the virus is going down. The likelihood of a no lock down christmas is not go off in berlin. This is the day you call the corona situation in germany is still very serious and the numbers are wearing me high and we havent reached the plateau yet. We expect gross domestic products to shrink by 5 point one percent, and 2021 combines it when we dont want our hospitals to be in for around this year. We have moved people in intensive care then in april and the numbers have doubled in each of the past. 2 weeks, regrettably economy recovering from also coming up is the u. S. President planning to order all american troops to leave afghanistan by years end, socalled, Islamic State and the taliban. They appear ready to fill any void with violence. Everyone was screaming, but suddenly it was quiet and we heard someone saying a prayer behind the door that was the suicide bomber right before he blew himself up. Its only thanks to god that we got out alive. And to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and to all of you around the world. Welcome, we begin the day with the 1st signs of a pandemic turnaround. Here in europe. When november began, the number of new Coronavirus Infections was exploding in france and germany. Partial walk downs to slow the spread, have now been in effect for almost 2 weeks. And there are hints that the restrictions are beginning to work. Modest indicators that the curve is being flattened again. What makes me cautiously optimistic is the fact that the number of cases has been increasing at a slightly slower rate over the last few days. Because the curve is not so steeply off what it appears to be flattening out. Recently. We do not yet know whether this is a stable development, whether it will continue like this or not, about us how this shows that we are not helplessly at the mercy of this virus. And if we are not powerless, if i try to time for some fresh air, i watch a movie to distract myself a little. You can think nonstop about the corona finance thing, but it is indeed a very challenging time. And i want germany to get through this and get shape. And the paradox is that sometimes you have to act and then get through that time of restrictions, fausta called politics and the pandemic to talk about both of those. Tonight, im joined by our political correspondents. I mean young going to be to you, simon. Id like to start by sharing with our viewers. A comment that was made today by the German Health minister in spawn about these 1st positive signs that the walk down is pushing back the pandemic. He said that this doesnt mean that things can really get going again everywhere from december or january. And that we can have wedding parties or christmas celebrations as if nothing were happening. I dont see having events with more than 10 to 15 people this winter. And simon 2 weeks ago, the chancellor, she pleaded with the public to cooperate in this latest partial lockdown. So that, and im quoting here so that we can save christmas. I suppose she meant to save some semblance of the seeds. Well indeed nobody knows how bad things are going to be when it comes to the christmas holidays, which of course are very important to many people here in germany. And the chancellor was speaking today. She said the government is doing everything. It can to make some progress during the coming weeks and ahead of december. But were facing a hard winter. She said, so this pretty somber time there pretty un christmas the stuff from angloamerican, she appeared to appeal to people to be sensible, Going Forward. Even if she said there is this small ray of hope in that the infection numbers off flattening off a little bit just under 22000 infections across germany in the last 24 hours, a slightly better number than in the last few days, but still high, really, and terms of what weve seen this year the, our number which tells you how quickly the, the diseases spreading is, is still just below one. It means that it shouldnt be getting worse. Its getting slightly better. But all of these numbers should be you know, treated with some caution. The medical experts say that, you know, theres still a long. Busy way to go before were going to turn this story around in germany and of course other countries seeing an even worse trend in many cases. Thats right. Of course that includes the United States and on both sides of the atlantic. More, in a ring the season of get togethers, we have thanksgiving coming up in the u. S. , the holidays in late december new years. Do you have the impression that the German Government is gently letting the public in on the truth that this walk down this partial walk down is a matter of months and not weeks . Well i think ive made no secret of the, of the cautious approach and it really all depends on. Busy what the development is in terms of infections. For instance, we had the bavarian state premium, arcus of areas. One of the parts of germany has been worst affected by cove at 19. He was saying today will, people should think about christmas in terms of as much family as possible from the authorities points of view. Thats to say they shouldnt be thinking about where they can go abroad. Its just about which family members they might be able to spend a few days over the holidays with or angloamerican again saying today she couldnt rule out, keeping restaurants closed. After the end of the current lockdown, the beginning of december. And of course, restaurants too are an important part of christmas for many people with dining and big events that people would like to have. It really is pretty clear that a lot of that wont be able to happen. They see. Is it realistic, simon, to expect that this partial lockdown that were in right now that it could last until we see the 1st distribution of a coronavirus vaccine. Well, this vaccine weve been talking about in the last few days, thats giving real hope now of the Health Minister said the other day he expects it to become available in the 1st 3 months of next year because itll take a lot longer to roll it out to get the vaccine out there in the population so that we can really turn the corner. I dont think people are expecting the lockdown measures as we see the now to continue. But some form of restrictions will certainly continue over the coming weeks and months. Our political correspondents, i mean young on the story for us tonight here in berlin. As always, i mean, thank you. Afghanistan faces many threats, threats with an increase in the number of attacks claimed by socalled Islamic State. Its capital kabul especially has experienced more violence earlier this month and storms kabul university, killing 32 people. Most of them students. There is little confidence that the government can protect the people and theres even less hope when it comes to the government negotiating a deal to end. The years of fighting students still finds it hard to go anywhere near the university of kabul. He was taking part in a seminar when the attackers came, he seeing his fellow students for the 1st time since the attack. The only topic of conversation is how they managed to survive. That day when they heard the shots, they knew something terrible was happening. Everyone was screaming, but suddenly it was quiet and we heard someone saying a prayer behind the door that was the suicide bomber right before he blew himself up. Its only thanks to god that we got out alive. Not everyone was so lucky. 32 people died in the attack and more than 50 were wounded. The attackers left a taliban flag behind the socalled Islamic State later claimed responsibility by jumping out a window his physical wounds are one thing, but his Emotional Trauma runs deep changed my life completely. All the goals i had before, my life was carefree, but it isnt anymore. I think about my friends at university who i couldnt help the ones who didnt make it across the country. They were similar, almost every day. There were more than 50 deaths and hundreds of injured. The spiral of violence is growing worse, and the Islamic State is kind of the attacks. Their base of support is growing. And speaking out for a long time, the Afghan People supported the taliban. They bought them ammunition and weapons, but thats over. The taliban are negotiating with the invaders from the us. They are traitors. They dont want to kill americans anymore. Instead they act against devout muslims. This man is an image at a mosque outside of. He preaches the state, he says the groups goal of a caliphate in afghanistan justifies its violence. Afghans dont want democracy. Thats a western invention. We need extremists and a dictatorship for this country. We are real muslims and thats why we support the dictatorship and not the liberal elites. Feminine democracy. Like many of his generation that it was possible to negotiate with the radicals. He doesnt believe that any after all the attacks people here have become very pessimistic. I dont believe that there will be peace anytime soon to get a sense of what afghanistan was like as a peaceful country, such as it has to ask his grandmother. Theres been nothing but war here for 40 years. Hed like to change that. But he has no idea how close to home for more tonight im joined by ian bremmer. He is president of the Eurasia Group which specializes in global risk assessment. And its good to see you again. I want to pick up on afghanistan for a moment. There is talk of a purge at the pentagon right now, President Trump installing loyalists who have 2 things in common. Their opposition to u. S. Troops remaining in afghanistan and their desire to bring those troops home. What is the likelihood in your opinion that trump will order a total withdrawal by years end . You know, theyre also really inexperienced. And the news that im getting indeed is that disagreement on afghanistan was a top reason why President Trump decided to sort of call the top of the d. O. D. Look that this is the longest standing or in american history. And President Trump campaigned on many things, but one of them was bringing the troops home. So even though frankly, this decision is not going to have any impact on the elections, and nor is he going to have any real impact on trumps level. I do think that individual, we would like to be able to say that i personally end this war and i think thats a big piece of it. He was slow, rolled by general mattis back when he was the secretary of defense. It was one of the things the 2 men came to blows over, and this is been something the truck was felt pretty consistently about. And you dont think with him calling the top echelon of the pentagon. He is he creating a situation in which if he gives an order for the withdrawal, that there will be top people who will define the president to meet. Could it come to that . Do you think, you know, this is a little unprecedented in the sense that youve only got a couple of months President Trump himself is saying still that he won the election when he hasnt. He refuses to concede, its not supporting a transition, even as youre starting to see. Republican senators calling joe biden and congratulating him on his victory. And weve not been in a situation like that before. I consider that the military of the us, a professional and gentlemen institution, and when theyre given orders that are clearly running against the interest of the country, they will say no. You saw that, for example, with efforts to use National Guard and deploy them in ways that could have had politicized implications. Or for example, when we had those demonstrations in lapierre part during the black lives matter issue. And President Trump wanted to go in, you know, sort of have a photo op. He got pushed back, but basically, leaders that refused to follow his orders. Last suggestions. But when it comes to removing troops from afghanistan, the commander keith has absolutely every right to withdraw those troops. Those are orders that he would, you would need to, you would need to follow. And a former secretary asked said that he was not going to, it was completely within trumps rights to remove him from office. It has been 9 days since the election. We have seen the president , i think twice in that time im. Hes posted hundreds of tweets, almost all with him are about efforts to maintain his power very little. If any, about the pandemic, for example, record hospitalizations. Is this a president who is completely missing in action if you will . President trump did say that we were not going to hear anything about coronavirus after the election. He just forgot to say we were going to anything from him. And that has, with the exception of i think, one tweet about the vaccine one. Pfizer made that announcement, which is, you know, obviously very good news. Indeed. We have seen virtually nothing. And you know that anthony has been increasingly very public in saying this is ministration is failing to lead on coronavirus much. It is the reason that President Trump lost if it hadnt been for brown, a virus that the timing hadnt been so bad as well. I think was he talking about a 2nd term for President Trump right now, but thats not where we are. We do have, we had 144000 cases yesterday, that is a true record number. We have record numbers of hospitalization and death rates are going up yet again across the entire country. This not just south of the northeast, the President Trumps interest that actually leading any response that goes to 3 and or ordinated with the incoming by ministration is literally 0. In the midst of the worst crisis of our lifetimes. That is, that clearly makes you feel a lot more circumspect about how the country is going to be able to respond to this as it gets colder. Busy and as people are having more indoors and with all the pandemic, but lets remember that the president s actual already is limited enough better all system where its really the governors and the mayors that are setting most of the roles. And thats sure is the case 6 months ago. What it is, the case now the does it, thats a good point to bring out the transition process. If the president obviously not cooperating, we know that the democrats are outraged. And now even a republican senator says enough is enough. I want you to listen to what senator lincoln from oklahoma said yesterday. Theres nothing wrong with Vice President biden, getting the briefings to be able to repair itself. And so that he can be ready. The president s already getting those, theres nothing wrong with the former Vice President getting those kamel heiress is on the intelligence committee. She has all the clearances that she needs to be able to do that. There is no loss from him getting the briefings and im able to do that. And if thats not occurring by friday, i will step in as well and be able to push them to say this needs to occur. So they, regardless of the outcome of the election, whichever way that it goes, people can be ready for the actual task. All right, so there you have this congressman saying by friday by tomorrow in watergate. We had a group of republican congressmen who went to the white house and told president nixon times come, you got to go, are we approaching anything comparable to that . With President Trump . Not yet right now, its still petulance, and i understand why trump is dragging his feet. I mean, hes trying to take all the troops out of afghanistan, and theres going to be a president ial Daily Briefing that talks about a lot of the negative implications of whats happening in afghanistan. If those troops go in biden. And Harris Actually get that you can understand how that could undermine President Trumps ability to meno. Make good on that decision. But look right now, President Trump, hes lost the election. All the medias call that theres no way that if there is no evidence of fraud, and even if there was some level of fraud this, its inconceivable that it would raise to the number of votes were talking about that would be able to swing the selection. So there is 0 chance that 5 is not going to take office on january 20th. But President Trump is completely within his legal rights to launch these lawsuits contesting the outcome. And youve got people like the head of the Senate Mcconnell that is supporting President Trumps right to launch these last ill tell you i support his right to launch these lawsuits. I think theyre frivolous. I think its stupid. I wish he wouldnt do it, but he has the legal right. This is with in the rule of law and we ran our elections problem properly. 67 percent of americans actually voted in the middle of a pandemic. Thats the highest percentage turnout since 1960. Very proud of that, and we should be proud of the Electoral College working the way its supposed to the President Trump decides he doesnt want to conceive, you know, what democratic candidate for governor in georgia, stacy abrams lost by 55000 votes. She didnt like the outcome. She thought it was stolen, but the regularity she never conceded. It didnt matter just so. If trump doesnt want to concede, if he doesnt want to go to the inauguration, he could be a child. And thats unfortunate, but that, that doesnt, doesnt stop biden from become president , by the way. Doesnt stop trump from running in 2024. Thats as it were, the nation. You know, thats right. Maybe well be talking about it in the foreseeable future. Ian bremmer, president of the reason professor it is always be present your insights. Thank you. Britains conservative government has just approved a new road tunnel that would run directly past one of the worlds best known ancient monuments. Stonehenge, the 3 kilometer long underground highway would replace the congested road next to stonehenge. But that plan collides with warnings by britains planning inspectorate, which says the prehistoric site could suffer quote, permanent and irreversible harm. Unlike any in stonehenge is 5000 year history. Local people in archaeologists have also been campaigning against this tunnel warning that it could destroy as yet undiscovered prehistoric treasures. Im joined now from the stone henge alliance, which is a group campaigning against the tunnel. Kate, kate, its good to see you this road. Its a bottleneck. I mean, i was just there a couple years ago and i remember looking at this 2 lane road and full of cars. Is this tunnel . Is it a, a realistic way of, of getting rid of the traffic problem . And no, i dont think it is the tunnel itself, of course could cause bottlenecks and it will be closed from time to time. And then there will be social chaos of some local roads. And the problem that we see in it, in the midst of all is that this is a World Heritage sites. It is 5 mins 5 hoffa that he says across the tunnel is only 3 kilometers long. So that means to each side of the tunnel. Well, within the well tariff site designated for its prehistoric archaeology, that would be massive road cuttings down to the tunnel portals. Major interchanges on the boundaries of the well tariff sites to the site. So although the central part of the World Heritage sites will be more traction to businesses, once this is in place, it will absolutely devastate the landscape to each site and to be huge loss of ocular remains. So this is basically a cosmetic project. And the inspectorate, im just, im wondering havent these concerns that youre talking about . Certainly big been, theyve been voiced and it were, they just dismissed it when disapproval was given. Well, this is a government scheme and the governments advice. This is advice they are currently following. Obviously going to recommend the scheme to go ahead because that the governments, the ones you know, are opposed to it. Weve now had today because of this sudden surge of plus publicist 10000 signatures on our petition. There are people from 147. 00 countries around the world 2 objects. And what about saying that if the tunnel is going to go ahead 1st, there has to be an archeological appraisal, an excavation, i mean maybe that would be a chance to find what is actually there in the ground. Well, yes, the house being an evaluation in advance of the scene Going Forward for examination, but that was only a partial examination of whats that and not all this amount of research has been done in recent yes. To noninvasive logical techniques, your testicles and thats a show that is masses of this is still to be explored. Well, check your site. Now, doing ok, not too takes in advance of the roads, means that youre just working along a section across the landscape. Its not easy to Research Questions the, the way enough money to do the job is apparently as one would night. And well, of course, just to do it within the means that a house will do the best job possible that they wont be able to cover all of them that really needed the Proper Research kid filled in with the stonehenge alliance. Could we appreciate your time in your insights tonight and please keep us posted on what happens. Thank you. Thank you. Good night. When the day is almost done, the conversation continues online to find us on twitter, either news or you can follow me at brant go off t. V. And remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. Well see that in 5 years after the attack in paris, his son was an assassin. Daughter was a victim. Both of their fathers wrote a book together. A lesson in dialogue and tolerance. At a time when islamised terrorists are killing again. Focus on your next in the movie fixing games instead of throwing them away with subsidies instead of projects. Renewed dance again and this is what germanys future should mclean finding out. Instead of lacking my made in germany in 60 minutes to come to know bobby was against coalition pilots due to disappoint, coming from the king family to become president and challenges are those credible story will stop the wind starts december 10th on g. W. A warm welcome to focus on europe. Glad you could join us today. Recent attacks in european cities like face, paris, and nice and yanna, show that islamist terrorism is still a threat. The attacks reveal to europeans, how vulnerable they are, and how difficult it is to protect the population from acts of terror. Special forces in action during the attack, a nice 3 people are stabbed to death in paris, the teach us somewhere. Pattie is decapitated for showing cartoons of the prophet mohammed in his classroom. President mccall wants to take vehement action against islamists and to forge a European Coalition against terror. France has been particularly hard hit exactly. 5 years ago on nov 13th, 130 people were killed in islamists, attacks. The terrorists stormed the better cloth here in paris, and shot dead dozens of young people at a concert. France never really recovered from the shock. These 2 men will forever be united through the attack for many in france, it is particularly remarkable that they together are standing up now against hatred and for reconciliation. It inflicted a National Trauma on france, the attack on the buttocks 90 concert goers. Most of them young people were brutally killed in the heart of paris by a commando of islamist terrorists. One of the gunmen was 22 year old who was shot by police before blowing himself up at the scene. 5 years later, we drive in belgium to meet some nice father. Drinan still doesnt know what drove his son to take part in the attack. He was atrocious. So many deaths of innocent people. I was sad. I thought, what ingratitude we gave you everything. You did this to us, to your family in the place where you lived. To this day he cant understand why his son became a terrorist. A former law student, some he was working as a bus driver when he became radicalized in a matter of months. 2 dean says he can barely look at photos, memories are just too painful. When his son mysteriously went off to syria and 2013, as dean followed and tried to get him to come home. And he was like a zombie for 5 days there, but we barely exchanged a few sentences. I asked him questions, but he wouldnt talk in the end, there was nothing he could do but go home. On nov 13th, 2015, a series of terrorist attacks took place in paris, claiming the lives of 130 people. 28 year old lawyer last saleem was among the victims. She was at a concert at about a clone with friends, a young woman with a zest for life. She sorely missed by her father josh loved to play roller derby even saying, you know, i mean, she is with her entire team despite his grief and anger agreed to talk with me more who contacted him a year and a half ago because he was trying to meet his sons victims families to explain himself and i ask for their forgiveness. And curiously enough, so i could help him understand what has happened to him. I wanted to share in a sorrow and explain to him that were not at all a family of terrorists. Not a terrorist. I also feel like a victim. And even so, i mean as a victim of a sort. As dina, i mean more suggested they write a book together, one in which the fathers tell their stories in new west, or we still have words highlights the things they have in common. And what if you could, im very interested in the fight against terrorism and the terrorists, accomplices, i dont want innocent people to be attacked in the name of this fight. Seems counterproductive to me. So i wanted to show that you can even talk with the parents of a terrorist now, 5 years after the attack just said lean and his family are trying to resume their normal lives in paris. By contrast, as dean anymore spends a lot of time alone in his apartment. In during our interview, he talked more about his experiences as a film producer, singer and businessman in various countries and less about his son. And what drove him to commit an act of terror . Last father tells us why he thinks that is understand everything about as far as his sons education is concerned. Clean, he made mistakes. They were made into chief who can honestly say theyd have done any better to produce the wounds will likely never fully heal. But for me more its important to send out a sign of reconciliation, especially because hatred has returned to france since the latest attacks took place. 22 year old is all too familiar with it. Many of his friends are muslims and they feel unfairly targeted by the media, the state society in general, even by their own teachers. Its a situation that leads some into radicalization. They fall for misinformation, especially on social media. Scotty wants to protect other young people, and we met him in the notorious tom. If they want to find something out, they turn to their cell phones, like most young people in this suburb of paris for you and social media for the social networks, because the clemence are more interesting. But theres lots of hate speech on social media too. Many young people believe the conspiracy theories and islamist propaganda disseminate it there. For instance, the juice room, the old french president , my car is a satanist, fake news. Yet many young people in frances poor suburbs, believe it, and thats worries. If she just happened to have a lot of cousins so i can only see what you saw. There was an incredible amount of fake news on social networks that was presented in a balanced way to make it believable. As its often targeted at young people. Because there are these networks and theyre quite naive. When theyve, when asked why they dont turn to newspapers or t. V. For libel information, scotty and, well, both say the french media often provokes antipathy towards muslims. Although then not to muslims themselves, nor notions of the battle. But its good to inform people another concern over nonstop. They will be used in words, but theyre letting muslims know theyre not welcome for me to feel that if we have the borders that would be better off there. Take us in the ku klux klan. You know, what on earth would associate the ku klux klan with christianity . So its not ok to associate muslims with these crazies who used terrorism to enforce their ideas. The young people in frances banias feel stigmatised. And now that is a mess, tara has resurfaced in europe faked me. Mrs. Booming teaches in troubled districts like this one, finds their pupils and no longer willing to listen to facts in their eyes. Teachers are part of the establishment and spreading lies. Its worrying that students begin to question our knowledge. It happens regularly that they call into doubt everything. Were trying to teach them you start to think teachers are going about things the wrong way and to know too little about social media, which is a big problem. So hes trying to do something about it along with the journalists association, hes founded the you tube channel, or liar, to fight fake news at all, only sort of theres a remake of videos. Welcome to where we decipher true from false and scotty, the dynamic duo, the order of the most important thing is to teach young people to always look at where something comes from, who put it online. So their most recent video warms for us about islamist propaganda video. This metol is message, be wary when people try to pull at your heartstrings as an arm of the Media Players indoctrinate young people whove had a difficult time at home and who want to coping so well emotionally. So we give them tips of developing a critical attitude when it comes to ideas that say idealistic, yet in reality are completely crazy. But the more you fall for the more you are with help from scientists. Meton also exposes fake news about the corona pandemic on a consistent with it, we have some questions. We found a really crazy info graphic on masks. And then wed like some clarification on things we didnt understand that a robot will think their you tube channel is pretty cool. With that is good would lead you really need to Pay Attention to stuff the tollway still in its infancy, but thousands of young people are already watching. Scott says videos, and that makes them proud. This was a young person whos seen one of our videos reflects a bit more when watching a dubious video than weve already won. Youve probably often heard this phrase over the last month. The hope in 1000 pandemic has brought a lot of devastation, but its good for the environment. Well, it has definitely brought some relief to wales. Fewer ships are currently in the waters and that means less noise. Its actually never been this quiet. In 150 years, our reporter went whale watching near the norwegian, the 14 islands, and there he witnessed how the giants of the sea are gradually taking back their territory. And old refurbished trawler heads out to senior the norwegian port of caring. 50 expectant tourists on a whale watching expedition. But sightings, have become less frequent in recent years. Growing noise levels are driving the giant Marine Mammals away heard of a little differently, underwater compared to on land. And the species are highly sensitive to noise. Considerable distances. So we have to be very careful not to generate too much disturbance for us. Weve even installed an ultra quiet propeller drops sharply near the roof foton islands making the waters here and ideal habitat for whales. But its all over the globe. The volume of maritime traffic has risen steadily in recent years, from trawlers to cruise liners and cargo ships and even submarines. Their noise has an irritating effect on whales, similar to tinnitus and humans, and it impacts their behavior dramatically. But now that traffic has dropped off tremendously due to the corona virus pandemic. There is a whale swimming around a mile away from here. And we should be able to hear it in a minute. The ships underwater microphones pick up the characteristic clicks, which the whales used to locate food. Lets start there. And there she blows a sperm whale, maybe 15 meters in length. In their exact meant, the tourists have trouble social distancing. All cheered to in the extreme north of europe, the pandemic has led to a big drop in cruise. Liner traffic, most of the ships remain mord for maritime researchers. Those calm waters mean a welcome opportunity to deepen their understanding of the worlds oceans. Scientist garryowen sun has been studying light and Noise Pollution in the sea. For years. The positive influence of the lockdown can be observed right here in 20 times short. They were given court to talk directly to the recently spotted 2 or 3 pilot whales. And while thats not enough for an empirical analysis, one things for sure. Ive never seen pilot whales so close to the city center. Theyre not the researchers use this device to assess the Water Quality off the coast of tonto time. This is a standard
