Lawmakers in berlin have voted to give the German Governments new powers, allowing it to introduce restrictions to tackle the Coronavirus Crisis. German president frank falser steinmeyer signed the law thats set to take effect on thursday. In response, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in protest. As politicians debated the legislation. I, i am water cannon and pepper spray deployed by police to disperse the demonstrators. Thousands gathered near the German Parliament building a crowd, including antigovernment protesters, coronavirus skeptics, and members of far right groups. Many were not Wearing Masks or maintaining social distancing. They were protesting against coronavirus restrictions, which they see as a violation of their civil rights. By little, by little, in my opinion, the restrictions are disproportionate. Surely it should have been possible to come up with other measures that dont cause so much suffering. You still believe i am here for my children and my grandchildren. I will not allow their freedom to be taken away. Yeah. Well Police Clashed with protesters outside lawmakers inside parliament who are largely in agreement and approve the new infection protections long. The law is meant to put the governments response of the coronavirus on a stronger legal footing. Previous legislation only listed broad general provisions and didnt foresee the severity of the pandemic, or the specific restrictions needed to rein it in. This led to local courts overturning some of the measures. The new law defines more concretely which restrictions can be introduced, including mandatory face masks, limited social contacts, and restaurant closures. Health minister, young spawn, defended the measures and criticize those protesting against them. So im glad to be against it or even to deny the obvious oh, that is possible and must be possible in a free and open country. But those who are allowed are far from being right. And certainly not in the majority. This did not deter the demonstrators outside, despite polls showing they are in the minority. A recent survey found 56 percent of germans believe the restrictions are justified. And some actually want even stricter measures. And did these Political Correspondent was out in berlin covering the protest on wednesday. Again, it was a very mixed crowd of people who came to the island today to demonstrate against the anti corona measures. There are people here who deny the existence of the coronavirus other people compatible americal, the german chancellor. And they question the legitimacy of the German Government as a whole. But what unites them . These demonstrators is a rejection of the governments handling of the corona virus pandemic. Theyre here to protest the amendments, all the Infection Prevention law and those amendments were passed the both chambers of parliament in berlin today. Now the police are themselves close to end the protests very early on because these people here dont believe in height, didnt rules. They didnt stick to social distancing rules. Vast majority of them werent wearing any masks. So the police went in with more to plan than to try and dispersed the crowd. But these are of course, very impressive images. But if you believe the latest polls, this is not the majority of german people, the vast majority of germans support the government in its that some of them even want stricter measures to be enforced. And the governments strategy is still to try and flatten the color of new infections so that the German Health system can still cope. There. Lets take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. Thousands have been marching through central warsaw, protesting moves to tighten polands abortion law. Its the latest in a series of demonstrations. Last month, a court handed down a ruling that would impose a near total ban on abortion, has yet to go into effect. And while thousands of antigovernment protesters gathered in the thai capital bangkok as lawmakers rejected their demands for sweeping changes to the constitution, demonstrators want the Prime Minister to step down and curbs on the power of the monarchy. Protests a day earlier left more than 50 people injured. U. S. Secretary of state might pay always holding talks in jerusalem.

Officials have said that schools in new york city will close on thursday in an effort to contain soaring numbers of new corona, virus infections. The citys mayor bill de blasio made the announcement on wednesday, saying there would be a halt in Person Learning out of what he calls an abundance of caution. New york citys positive test rate has been a steadily creeping up after dipping dramatically over the summer. And for more, lets bring in our correspondents all over is all its all of our always good to see you. New york citys mayor bill de blasio ordered all Public Schools to be closed a step that he had wanted to avoid. Why has he changed his mind now . Now the number of code 19 taza to flee test to people in new york city have been going up steadily as you said. And that brings all back a lot of bad memories. As you know, new york city was the global epicenter of the pandemic. Earlier this year, the beginning of the pandemic and mayor de blasio set a threshold of 3 percent Positivity Rate. So that means of more than 3 percent of the new yorkers are tested positive to cope with 19, then the schools would close down as one measure to avoid the further spread. And we have reached that limit now and were nearing things giving. So its a very delicate moment in time. And certainly closing the schools is an important measure. And part of the plan of the mayor here, what it means is that after 8 weeks that the schools were opened, this is the Biggest School district of the country. So theyre closing down again, 1100000 students are affected and certainly that puts a lot of strain now on students and on the families as well. Although as you say last spring, new york city was the epicenter of the pandemic in the United States. Is new york expecting to see that again . Well, that is exactly the feel right, so they dont want history to repeat. And remember the dire situation. The city was in hell, the hospitals were above capacity at the time. Im sure you also remember the cooler trucks that were used as mobile morgues. So those pictures really went around the world. So there was a lot of suffering for the new yorkers makeshift field hospitals in central park. And we could see that again potentially. But the plan, of course, is to avoid exactly that by acting decisively and early enough this time around there and Johns Hopkins university has now put the death toll in the United States at 250000 people. What is that going to mean for the situation in the rest of the country . Well, in the rest of the country, the situation isnt part of a lot worse than in new york city. In fact, sometimes even very chaotic, if you look at the midwest of the current current epicenter of the pun, demick in the United States, south dakota has a Positivity Rate of 56 per cent right now. So far above new York City Schools and restaurants to remain open the salsa culture, governor also said you dont have to feel bad if you dont want to wear your mask. So its voluntary. And it really shows there is no coherent policy in place in the United States. And it adds to that donald trump is not taking any Decisive Action at this point. Also blocking joe bidens transition team. So he came out today and said that this could actually delay his planning by weeks and it closed could cost thousands of lives. If donald trump doesnt give in, on the all of his other important for us from a d. C. Thank you very much. Lets turn to india now where the capital delhi is considering plans to reintroduce some lockdown measures following festive gatherings and a drop in temperatures. The nation as a whole is braced for a spike in cases where residents in delhi have already seen those numbers. Go up, w. Needs those at the frontline of the citys battle with the day is just beginning for john, but he knows it will be a long one. He counted 15 bodies in the morning when he left the morgue at delhis Largest School with 1000 hospital. Where he works, he will spend all day at this chemical area. He helped cremate the body sifi and ensured that people suffering the shock of losing a Family Member to the could. One of my it is have proper protective gear. As they see the last goodbyes for the last week has been bringing in twice the number of bodies that delhi is experiencing its towards spike in over 1000. 00 cases with close to 100 deaths every day. Roger was assigned to the mortuary after many locals before him quit all the event by the number of corpses starving, and i had to step over bodies to sort through the names of the victims. I had to summon all my courage. Of course i was scared. Ive never seen anything like it in my life. Ive never seen so many bodies. Still, he soldiers on. He says someone has to cure at the local hospital, delhis largest coronavirus facility. The spike is evident. The severity of the cases has also risen. As many more see admission, while this hospital still has a high number of designated coronavirus beds available, they only have a handful of free ventilators and intensive care units or i. C. U. Beds left. This after i. C. U. Beds at this facility alone have been for drupal during the pandemic. Authorities here are confident that things are under control, but they are also bracing for more cases. More and more people are coming out of their home when the number may go up. So we have to make provision for that. This is because of the number of people in the market was pictured and sort of getting the authorities are now mapping out ways to prevent the Health Care System from being over bend. With daily guesses in delhi crossing the 8000. 00 mark. The National Government has now stepped in, authorities plan to significantly ramp up the thing, increase the number of i. C. U. Bed, and also employ Emergency Health care forces elsewhere in delhi to the morgue and the board are stokley distant words. Even after the recent volley festival crowds continue to try on the markets. The State Government denies chances of another lockdown, but is considering closing down markets where norms are being flouted. Dress against think this is unnecessary. Because you is no need to worry, cases are going up. So keep rising even during a shutdown. People go out anyway, you want to make a difference. Its not so would be interesting to asian right now, if you take some precautions so it becomes you people back at the crime. Adored him, strongly disagrees. His is the kind of book that makes him vince when he sees the markets overflowing and people shouting together on the street. Memories of the lock down maybe feeding for those out in about. But still afraid to come close to his 3 young daughters and his aging mother who recently underwent a cancer procedure, is upset that he hasnt really spoken to her in 8 months. But hes not giving up long own food is not an option. Its on leave and the pandemic ends that can truly go home.

Thanks for watching where i come from, we have to fly in for a free press. I was born and raised in a military dictatorship with just one t. V. Shadow and a few newspapers with official information. As a journalist, i have worked with all of the friends of many characters, and their problems are always the same core due to social inequality. A lack of the freedom of the press go up, work on the floor to stay silent when it comes to the fans of the humans and see why the old bulls who have decided to put their trust in us. My name is Johnny Carson and i work a deed this is feed every news africa on the program today. The conflicts in though mad and sad and fresh fighting has broken out as between polish, sario, and morocco in western sahara. A bull that separates territory controlled by each party is at the center of the dispute. How sewn up, how would your occasion technology is replacing fuel burning irrigation pumps. In one day im christine. Its good to have your Company Fighting has erupted between moroccos on me and the polish, sorry of front along a buffer zone, patrolled by the United Nations in western sahara. This brains an end to a cease fire that was nearly 3 decades old in the disputed territory. Now morocco claims ownership off western sahara, but the pilots already a front is demanding independence. Tensions have simmered, forgive is, and the area the newest flashpoint in an old conflict. Crossing is a border point in the south of western sahara. It controls a highway that runs all the way from morocco to mauritania, a vital route to the rest of africa. In recent weeks, theres been reports that protesting separatists blocked off the road. Last week, the Moroccan Army posted these images to its facebook page. It says they show burning tents belonging to the police, sorry, of front police arias says those targeted were not fighters, but civilian protesters. Now that conflict seems to be spreading along the buffer zone between the 2 sides. Morrocco next to the former spanish colony in 1975. But the Indigenous Police are a front began an armed resistance for independence. The war raged on until 1991, when both sides signed a cease fire. They now split control of the territory. Theyre kept apart by a fortified fence built by morocco and extended since the early 1980 s. Its believed to be the longest strip of land mines in the world, velo in the renewed hostilities. The moral qualms have since mobilized their forces, and the polish sario is also rallying its fighters and calling for volunteers. And im now joined by jose and tony was a, is a journalist who is having the region extensively and visited the policy area, controlled areas. Welcome to day w. , news africa jose. So there are reports that both sides have begun a Mass Mobilization and that the fighting is going to ating, what are you hearing from, from your sources on the ground . Well, as you know, in any conflict, we had a lot of program that bad would the american people, he said, your sources say, you know, saying wait is the who are these back. Even if hes the supposedly didnt want to reach responding to. There are some fires now between both armies even if they are not very big this moment in both also seems that once the u. N. Mission in this region or you know, ship leaves the place, de conflict, well reach a higher level in it. And jose also just does this explain that it was one of my questions he was going to be about that u. N. Mission. And youre now implying that that u. N. Mission could be just explain that for us. Yeah. As you know there since 1991 of the un mission universal has been there in their place in both today with their 2nd under control of miracle in also the sahara. We played the place under control of police earlier in the mission is to keep peace and to organize referendum following the un resolutions. But as the police are you of felt that miracle had broken the Peace Agreement . And as they were back again, the police said he says, came to the un to leave the place in miracle east trying to keep the un people on the field. But if there were heaps in the time and it, it seems its, its going to least for a long time, the u. N. People, we have to leave the place both in their place when trouble under control of morocco and also under control of police. Are you in both forces from both sides, agree that the conflict will go higher and higher and higher. Once the u. N. People that you mentioned, you know, still leave the house a cease fire has been in place now for 25 years. Why has it now seemingly collapsed . Well, there around 2 weeks ago, a group of syrians, sahara we civilians went to the south of western saddle, in the border between mary cheney and mr. Sattar. In the luck route. An important route in terms of trade, connecting westerners sat under control of miracle in mauritania. These group of syrians were fired from this place because the morricone government sent the army to replace an we so there are some images. So in that, the American Army opened fire, not against people, but there was a fire, there was fire that was with their weapons and the police in their place are you will be responsible. And this student, these movement have broken the Peace Agreement, reached in 1991. And they declare they have broken, they say that there is, every mini smoker is broken. So they were nice back again since then we see right. A Small Movement in insider you didnt notice, we have a family 2nd, so they have to have jose and jim, what is there a sense that this could be solved diplomatically . Somehow you were talking about the fact that it could escalate, especially if the u. N. Mission, whats it be . Recreate it. Well, we dont know. It depends on the u. N. It also depends on spain and mostly on the members of the security council, and mostly france, which is a did main ally of miracle in the un in the security council. But its important to note too that since the beginning of 2001000 the last year there is no, we dont have any special envoy from the un. The meters are still there, but there is no one in charge of the nice him. So this the magic waiting in to reply and finished ok, thats jose antonio about is to thank you for your insights. Thank you. When its story is in rwanda with fondness can no longer rely on rain to grow their crops. Increasing changes in rain passes have forced most farmers to use fill pumps to irrigate their farms. Now that of course, causes carbon emissions. A group of young wonder and scientists said to take, invented is, have devised a solar powered Irrigation Technology to replace the field based irrigation pumps. We, that corn husks arent uncommon in ground are these days. The current drought has lasted months. And the increasingly extreme weather threatens the libel hoods of local farmers, especially those in the eastern part of the country who are not quoting him, could attribute it. Its apparent that Climate Change is real and increasingly dangerous. The farming seasons that people are used to are not longer predictable. At times it trains will one expected drought well route instead of rain. And so its confusing. You cant just farm and have hope over having harvest and what you were initially. And when you arent a couple you why you want from out who has been fortunate during these hard times has filled me a river. So shes been able to pump sufficient water to her crops. But the desert needed to power the pumps is expensive and the exhaust that is a need to the suns out contributes to a greenhouse effect. I know rhonda is increasing its reliance on solar power on the researchers and Technology Experts from around on start up developed a solar powered irrigation system. I think if they had to, the project was financed by a us Aid Organisation and they run the government. They knew irrigation plants came at just the right time for 40 families from the pirates here in the district that god made agricultural, more difficulty. And the cost of renting the diesel pumps nearly consumed on what is reason was that todays honestly we ended up spending much of what awnings on buying failed while using the fuel pump internet as iraq with 2 of the those little left for our livelihood. Now we have gotten beat of all those expenses. We only need to replace someone to water the plants of the kurdish just due to the more affordable litigation promise cannot attend a larger areas of land and keep farming. They used a much higher as a result of the what i do, you call a hole. I was only how this thing 50 kilograms of these in 2 bags of saddam seize on now with solar irrigation. The yield volume has multiplied by 3. When i am considering expanding my farming even more now, when ill be focused on that solar powered irrigation system should be up and running in all of the Party Districts in the country by the end over 2021. An official from the Agriculture Ministry sees that rhonda hopes to have a climate neutral economy by 2050. And his role for you to decide a system and they to get through this solar system because off for cheaper in terms of for energy cost option. And secondly, you say, yeah, climate to smart Climate Smart also means a more plentiful way of managing water. One of the arts most valuable resources, this touch up that builds the sun at irrigation system, has also developed a system to measure the temperature and moisture of the site. Sensors calculate the exact amount of water needed by the plants. Farmers, ive been notified by and up about when and how much they should water, their crops, the plants need to get the optimum of what they need. Thats why we believe when they use this technology, they are going to improve their production. And it does been tested to be a success in the play which fears were being doing these pilot system is powered by solar energy as well. Now the farm was not exactly to be a success in the play, which fears were being between these pilots says to me, is poet a sauna in a g a swim . Now the farmers know exactly which plants need water and how much of the meat for the time being, they improvising with plastic bottles, which will soon be replaced by what a horses local solutions when opal challenges, i love to see it. That is it for now be sure to check out of the stories on dot com forward slash africa. Were also on facebook and on social media love to know what you think about the stories of a couple on the program. And perhaps even the stories you think that we should be covering today will leave you with these pictures of agricultural riches produced by rhondas fondas. In spite of the of reliable rains, enjoy them and will see an extract of back to front in the rooms in a special edition of comfort zone on the crisis in hong kong, over the last year in june and several probate prodemocracy figures to justify what theyve done and said some of their arguments are clearly set to stand the test of time to put in 60 minutes on itll be a book after approving the 737 max is returned to service u. S. Aviation regulators insist boeings plane is say 100 44 of the following 2 deadly crashes will that be enough to reassure passengers also coming up . The latest trial results from pfizer and german partner by own tech suggest that Coronavirus Vaccine is 95 percent effective. Now they could seek approval for its use within days. And demand for ski holidays has gone somewhat downhill in recent months where in switzerland to see whats being done, to get people back on the slopes. This is the the way business im robots in berlin. Welcome to the program. Boeing is getting the green light for its 737 max. The u. S. Federal Aviation Administration has announced that the plane can take to the skies again after it was grounded in march of last year, following 2 deadly crashes. At the time, it was the companys top selling model, but the announcement still doesnt reverse boeings massive financial problems. The company has been incurring huge losses and has said it will cut more than 30000 jobs. The grounding of the 737 max is estimated to cost boeing as much as 20000000000. 00 through compensating airlines and having the air craft recertified buyers have canceled more than a 1000 orders for 737 maxes in recent months and 410. 00 x. Raft, a still on hold waiting to be livid each one needs to pass a Flight Safety test before it will be allowed to takeoff. Boeing is unlikely to post profits for years. So how much damage has this saga done to boeings reputation . Well, thats a question i put to chief executive of International Marketing. As alison stewart, alan, well, the Reputational Risk arose at the very start with the grounding of the 73737. 00 max jet. And what should have happened was that the leaders of the business at that time, of course, the c. E. O. Since been replaced, perhaps their late events. But we didnt hear very much from mr. Mullen, bergen. At that point. He wasnt on t. V. He wasnt communicating with passengers with the airlines about what it all means and what they should do with this very expensive asset. So it all started really with silence. And if youre in a crisis, being silent is not the answer, is cost them 20000000000. 00 and to see how would you rate that Crisis Management . Well, its a case study in what not to do very much like, you know, British Petroleum or b. P. When it had its macondo well to sastre some years ago, this is a very similar situation in some ways because we, you know, the stakeholders who include all of these bodies, staff passengers, airlines, airports. I could go on with the number of them all need to have a clear message about what exactly boeing is going to do. Whats their action plan . And when is it going to come into effect . And how do you reassure the flying public that they dont get on a 737 max jet, this was likely to crash. All of those messages need to be communicated by the top leadership of the business, the c. E. O. And the leadership team. And we just didnt see them, i give them probably a 4 out of 10. Thats not so great. You know, of course, reinstalling Public Confidence in this plane is a huge question. But for the airlines, many of them placed these orders long before the coronavirus came and made a mess of the airline industry. Will a lot of those airlines of change, theyre starting to completely sense that they have. And the thing that happens in all of this is, is that markets evolve and Technology Helps those markets evolve. Consumer preferences, hope, those markets of all of them. The thing that is going to be even more problematic for boeing is that once the flying public, very slowly, incrementally return to the skies, other aircraft will come onto the market eventually. Maybe sooner than later, with alternative greener credentials, hydrogen solar, all of these, you know, greener approaches to air travel are being developed as we speak. So youve got a legacy asset in the form of this 737 max. Its not going to be significantly upgraded. And yet, you know, its sort of like buying an old car who wants to find all car when newer ones play will be available. So thats the biggest challenge for boeing. Plus, as you say, the Business Model will change. Carriers are going to change the way that they promote and the way they price their seats and the aircraft that they use. Alison Stewart Allan from International Marketing plan is thanks for bringing as your expertise now u. S. And european regulators could approve by on tax experimental covered 19 vaccine. As early as mid december. Thats according to the german companys boss, following results of clinical trials, which showed a 95 percent success rate with no serious side effects. The u. S. Food and drug administrations Vaccine Advisory Committee is expected to meet in december. She has in biotech, jumped nearly 5 percent on the news and pfizers by more than one percent. Lets bring in our correspondent in new york quarter on this. Yes. Is there an urgency in the u. S. For a vaccine to be approved as soon as possible, given how the pandemic is going . Yeah, definitely. Health officials are calling the virus situation very dangerous. Im standing here in front of a Public Elementary School in brooklyn, and the city announced just today on a wednesday that all Public Schools will close again starting to morrow, thursday, and go fully back to remold learning. New york with about 1100000 students is the Biggest School district im in the country. And you can imagine that this is really not a lot of time for families of working families to make adjustments other than the schools. So we also have more and more lockdown measures in the country and also federal aid is going to expire in many cases in the next couple of weeks until its a, its a pretty tough situation right now. Here in the u. S. One of the next steps for pfizer to get to the markets. Well, what were hearing is that, i mean, pfizer is finishing up the study of data that they just got. And then they need to do some documentation for their regulators. But actually, by the end of the year, pfizer going to be on to could be out of producing about 50000000. 00 doses off is seen some half of it to supposed to go to the u. S. And as you need 2 shots, that means by the end of the here, theoretically about 12 and a half 1000000, americans could get this 1st c. N. N. After that clearly mass production. So thats what needs to happen next. And then we will also have to wait and see for how long those vests anation a lot, so we dont know that yet. So help is on the horizon. But until then, the situation is pretty serious here in the United States and all over the globe. Thanks for joining us. Now, some of the other Global Business stories making the news. 2 thirds of German Companies are convinced, working from home will play a bigger role in daily life even after the pandemic. As according to a survey, by Consulting Firm deloitte found a majority of companies are ready to invest in a home office infrastructure, hoping it will cut workspace. Rental costs. Turkish president , Tayyip Erdogan has reiterated his opposition to high Interest Rates a day ahead of the central bank meeting. Analysts are expecting the new governor to increase rates from 10 and a quarter percent to as much as 15 percent or one fears higher rates could weigh on investment. I know we jeanette has asked an irish court to oversee a restructuring of its massive debt as it tries to stave off collapse during the pandemic last week. Noise government rejected a request by the low cost carrier for more aid. Yeah, line has warned it could run out of cash in the 1st quarter of next year. Another Coronavirus Crisis shouted switzerlands ski resorts in the spring. The new season is already underway with the virus. Still roaming and foreign visitors required to quarantine, but some resort owners are hoping tight covered precautions, and the swiss love of the mountains could save their business skiing. Its been going downhill for a while mostly for lack of snow. But this year, the coronavirus pandemic is an additional problem for the business of winter sports, especially in switzerland. As the country deals with one of the worst culprit 19 outbreaks in europe. Ski resorts like here and have you doing their best to implement Safety Measures and bring guests. So the slopes they have to for the moment were going to have a Christmas Period that will be quite weak. And then we hope that well have a 2nd part of the season. That will be better because we may have a medical solution that will allow us to better protect people at risk. Skiing percy should be produced safe during this pandemic anyway. Its done outside and for the most part with plenty of space for everyone. Its only lining up for the lift, where there might be a risk of exposure. Visual mcrib are still stuck. You see people put on the mast without too much trouble. I think its something weve gotten used to, so its something people have to learn to live with anyway. And we have assimilated in the end skiing might even benefit from the pen demick. After all, other more exotic travel destinations are off the table, and more locals might come to enjoy the mountains. Tried skiing once i was terrible at it, i wont be doing it again.
