Japan has hit a record daily high of more than 2000 infections. The Prime Minister is a maximum caution, but stopped short of calling for new restrictions. And china says nearly a 1000000 essential workers have been given doses of an experimental vaccine. And no serious Adverse Reactions have been reported. Fountains of people have marched through warsaw to protest against the tightening of polands abortion goes out term elections for fetal abnormalities amounting to a ban on nearly all nations, as well as the biggest demonstrations. For decades. The changes are driving women to seek help abroad. Another night of protests in poland. Thousands of women took to the streets once more to voice outrage over Supreme Court ruling that could further tighten the countrys strict abortion laws. Already many women have been forced to travel abroad for the procedure. Polish kind ecologists works in germany. Hes inundated with hate mail from compatriots for performing abortions on polish women. First and foremost, they want to insult you. They tell me im a murderer. Im used to that by now. He also gets letters from women, thanking him. You saved my life, this one reads. He says hes horrified by the proposed changes.

And i know because people are terrified, fueled by desperation to protest in poland showed no signs of abating. More than 8000, migrants arrived on Spains Canary islands by boat from africa last month hoping to reach europe. Human Rights Groups say theyre being held in dire conditions, while local officials admit to being simply overwhelmed by the journey across choppy waters to the islands is treacherous. D. W. Say young felipe shoals has been to gran canaria to assess the situation. From here, journalists can go no further. Some 2000 african migrants are being housed in this camp in the port of 5 times as many as was expected. Aid groups have spoken of squalid conditions, but its impossible for the w. News to find out. J, my son tom, now works for the islands refugee council, and his colleagues have been inside the camp and put another minutes when everyone sleeps on the floor, some intensity and some knowledge in the openness of those who have been criticizing this from day one. But we didnt think it would get this bad in the middle, the 2300 people in the camp, and then numbers that are growing that every day in the early 2000 migrants arrived in the Canary Islands. Last weekend alone. The crossing is dangerous, but the coronavirus pandemic has cut off about migration routes. The government has started to housing new arrivals in hotels near the camp. Human rights activists say they are not getting a fair shot at the asylum system. These migrants from san diego fia that they will soon be deported so far, but i dont know why journalists are not welcome here, eva g w. New assist told to leave in that conversation, may know is angry at the Spanish Government, but also feels abandoned by the european union. Has that get it. Im disappointed with spain and with europe. This is shameful. A lot of politicians and representatives have come here recently, but we have no clue what the governments strategy is to deal with the migration crisis on the Canary Islands. Thank you, but not the only money buying it. And let me get at the idea. Spains government refuses to relocate the migrants to the mainland. Critics say this has turned the island into a prison. For months, the trend of increasing migration numbers has been visible here on the Canary Islands. Nevertheless, everyone involved seems overwhelmed by the Current Situation. Valuable preparation time has been lost. Instead, the islands government, the Central Government and the european union, starting to shift responsibility for the situation to one another. The Spanish Government has now started to procure for of accommodation for the migrants. Many fear that this housing will fill up before long a lot report from spondon young Philip Schultz and joins us now from grand canaria. Welcome, young fellow. While migrants heading for the canaries valve in the european mainland. Well, 1st of all, its them really. There are a lot of africans at the moment to the side, so i think its a new kind of choro not related migration. The crisis has devastated the economies. There are a lot of political crisis evolving, especially in the region, and at the same time has a lot of tradition of migration routes between europe and africa. And at the same time and Spanish Government has reached a new deal with my ra, says that the offshore it is, should make, try Everything Possible to keep migrants away from the northern shores, which is very close to the spenders to mainland. But this has had a paradox of thanks to the migrants are not getting out, but they are not trying to reach the mainland now. But they are starting from the south. And they are starting to see cropping down to reach the island instead of the main. And this does seem to have taken the island by surprise. I dont think particularly well for pat thats true. I was on the neighboring island of flatulent with our 2 months ago, and it was already visible. That migration numbers were starting to rise, but the local authorities very relaxed about it. And i was very surprised. I think it had to do with the fact that there were many crises at the same time. Its also a popular tourist destination. The Canary Islands, the sun, the whole year round. And of course the run up endemic has devastated the jurors in the street. You can see the parking lot behind me. It should be full of rental costs of tourists trying to enjoy the sun at this time of the year, even here in the Canary Islands. But as you can see, its completely empty and theres no money coming in from tourism. So what do Canary Island . Well, its not the 1st time, this kind of migration crisis here on the island. And traditionally the people here on the island vary. But i think this time the atmosphere is a little bit different. Its march this time. And i think that to do with you can see a lot of people protesting on the fetus and the migrant rhetorics. I could hear from various nations that theres too much you get tension, Media Attention on the migrants now, and what about our problems . So island has been in crisis for half the year. A lot of people have lost their jobs and its very difficult to deal with the double price, acceptable shelves. Thank you. Thank you. Before we go, the pandemic isnt only affecting humans.

Camps i cant stand young girl. She got raped a lot so i dont know what she saw during her incarceration in camps. Ive been a strategy. Welcome to news asia that you could join us today. We bring you an eyewitness account of the horrors of chinas reeducation camps and ethnic cause a woman imprisoned like other muslim minorities in camps. China holds Vocational Training centers. Shares her story, how crime being a Muslim Minority in china is north west. The story of these camps in china as a province is one we have reported on for at least to you has set up a sense of me. According to the Chinese Government to offer voluntary education and training. They housed at least a 1000000. We good cozart and other ethnic muslim minorities all being directly as part of chinas measures to counter terrorism. If over show you our interview with side, it will tell you, heres more about the camps in china, northwest. The images of china wants the world to see beijing says they socalled Education Centers provide valuable Vocational Training, Job Opportunities to eradicate poverty in the region. The same tears its claimed are also a tool in chinas war on terror programmes to do ridiculize islam. A 63. 00 mists and ethnic separatists. Thats the official view. But stories from eyewitnesses tell a different story. They describe detention camps and the repression of an estimated 1000000. 00 weak and muslims subjected to forced labor, torture and cultural indoctrination. A growing body of evidence points to massive human rights abuses and cian jiang abuses that western leaders say china can no longer hide you know, we know we know that there is no counterterrorism justification for, for force if we were muslims to eat pork during ramadan or destroying a muslim cemetery. Theres no Poverty Alleviation justification for forced sterilization or taking children away from their parents to be. We had reeducated in state run boarding schools, accusations that beijing brushes aside as international meddling. We urge u. S. Politicians to respect the facts, stop fabricating lies and stop using sheehan. John related issues to interfere in chinas internal affairs when needed. China has shown no sign of winding back its policies and cian jiang. In fact, satellite images show the network of the changing facilities appears to be expanding and military style labor camps are now being reported in neighboring to bit. Chinese leaders have hailed their policies a success. But harrowing, 1st hand accounts only reinforced the widening gulf between beijings claims and the truth behind these walls, inching. John, it is a truth. That side has seen photos of an Ethnic Chinese walked as a defector for several police schools. Ensure that was before one night of november 27th, seen when she was whisked off to a reeducation camp in the region there. Even though she was a prisoner, she was forced to teach chinese to other inmates. She was eventually released 4 months later, after which she fled to neighboring kazakhstan, and then eventually to sweden, where she was granted asylum. A quick clarification aside, a girl refers to as east turkistan in this interview, thats based on weaker and peoples claims that the region is an independent country miso by thank you so much for speaking to d. Dubner news. Now you were taken to reeducation camp in changing in 2017. What were the charges against you on the i feel i started to harass me in january 27th choice. The Chinese Communist party had already begun in outing its genocide policy on weaker and cause a minority in the fall of 2016 means little from egypt wants to go. The communist party had been planning this crackdown years in advance. What ought to be . The Police Arrested me multiple times that night be questioned, pressured, threatened, and hit me from the get in nov, 2017. I was forced to enter the internment camp and to teach chinese to the inmates children but the Chinese Government says that you were never in any of these crimes. In fact, the Chinese Embassy in sweden had this to say about you, and a court should never worked in any Vocational Education and training institutions, and had never be detained before. Illegally fled to kazakhstan, would be about to come. Everyone who knows the evil side of the communist party knows very well short of its own sound that in the Chinese Government will use whatever means to pursue and defame those who have witnessed and revealed the evil side of the regime. What good wrong, what this is normal. I dont care what people, woman, theres 100100 since hearing these false claims and verbal attacks. I actually felt happy here. Why . Because it means my testimony actually had an impact on the god. You know what, this is a term for it. See the commute for you now. You coauthored a book about your time in these reeducation camps. Its called the chief witness escaped from chinas modern day concentration camps. What did you witness there . So they dont touch him, but after i was brought to the fascist internment camp, i realized that it was in a business a nightmare or more buy and you got the phone shorter. I said, i know its hard to believe if i had not seen it all with my own nice. I would not have believed it. So how can Something Like this happen in the 21st century . Do you should see here for me going to mend your young child . There were about 2500 inmates in my complex men, women, young and old. All of them were innocent. They were forced to make false confessions so chambre. All of them had their heads shaved, their limbs were shackled despite injuries to our troops. He didnt talk and worse, psychological torture, as well as physical torture on one that was extremely brutal or free. Try prendre the shoulder on the tram. Or i know its a difficult subject, but can you tell us what kind of torture youre talking about . You spoke about psychological and physical torture or what did you witness . Say she truly meant you see t. V. s were everywhere in the internment camp. Then be quiet. I just have fun, dont you find any or so that there were 4 surveillance cameras, one in each corner of the cell, plus one in the middle. So they were all together. 5 cameras in one single cell phone. Were all over the corridors as well. How many, every action of the inmates was watched for 247 . No, you got but there was one room in the camp that didnt have c. C. T. V. They call it the black room. To get to dig to get people into the room were tortured physically by various brutal means the fun. But all the cars pull off their fingernails. They would tie them to a chair and use electric shock to torture them. Only to see, to get them into the bargain that they would beat them up in the means were very brutal because i had to go thats one of the short i used to be locked in that room too. What is the worst memory you have from . Roughly 4 months that you spent in this camp, so they were transferred in the men. Theres lots of things that i will never forget. One, every time i eat, i think of the enemy as mates or your true friends. So fans want to change down to them and i think of them before i go to bed every night to my mind keeps returning to the internment camp where i worked every single day, trouble out there, he didnt want to think that i cant stand the guys when youre very young girl, she got raped a lot though. But if you think that we struck me, i can never forget it. It stuck in my mind. I can imagine this is a hard subject to recollect, but you are here in germany now. And you had public hearing in the german parliament. What do you expect from me or 3 times she longed for. I hope the German Government will act like many other countries and recognize the crimes. The Chinese Communist party has committed against our people as genocide. From for me, things really are the you know, to the shit, i hope the German Government will punish the leaders of the communist party. According to the magnitsky act of a very powerful bill, zynga, the trial for peace, im going to show germany is a very Free Democratic justice loving and strong country i dreamed of his time. So we are sure the sun go just to go woman that sometimes gentle way i hope the country here was stand with people of east turkistan, but like i hope they will take actions that are effective to save us to address the persian she said to her son or i hope the German Government can answer to these 3 demands. If they really want to help what sounds they will be able to do so, thought a question one thought minute and then leave the thats it for today theres more stories and more details on the injured john on our web site did oprah dot com share with you tomorrow the fight against the corona virus pandemic has the rate of infection been developing.

Who is magical, really, what moves and what we talk to people who follows her along the way. I admire those and critics alike now as the worlds most powerful woman shaping her legacy. Jo knows from eccles last that out of all the coronavirus cases in the world, one out of every 5 years in the united states. Despite hard lessons in the spring and restrictions over the summer infections still rising, new York City Schools are closing today and students will be learning from hard. We have to do more to fight back this 2nd wave. So the state has made very clear additional restrictions are coming or putting more stringent measures in place, so we can get schools back up and running soon that we can protect new yorkers across the board. So why is the u. S. An economic powerhouse struggling more than any other country in the world . Total cases in the us of past 11000000 over 250000 have died, and a growing number of americans are uninsured. Is it the fault of outgoing president , donald trump, and can incoming President Joe Biden clean up the mess . A correspondent company in a chinmoy reports is on the border with mexico. But no one is talking about the wall anymore. The pandemic is raging here. Members are sorie right now we have about 241. 00 in peace and cope with 1000. 00 cases. Now to contrast with about 45 days ago, we only had 30. But a lot of those people that you see going into the stands behind me. They will wind up inside our hospital, have authorities are already arranging to move patients to other cities. If the hospitals become overwhelmed, planning for months of strain, there is already a backlog in dealing with the dead. Referee generated more outside, the hospitals, serve as makeshift mortuaries Funeral Homes in the past, so are so overwhelmed that families sometimes have to wait a week to bury a loved one. Funeral director 7 selves are struggling to cope earlier in this race is the level of stress is very high because it is not comparable to how it used to be. Some months ago we had around 30 services per month. Right now were having around 18, a sort of issues for me is this 2nd wave of the pandemic is not only hitting record numbers of people, many of whom could die. Local lockdowns in the past will to try and curb the spread are wreaking havoc a business. This is where the economic effects of the pandemic can most clearly be seen. Downtown el paso seems abandoned. Also this restaurant wasnt able to keep most of its south. Now the owner has to attempt a few clients himself. The Current Situation had a clear impact on his political decision. He voted for joe biden. I knew he could do better than donald trump, and i think we all hope the same. We hope for a different government that supports us. Some money of all works just around the corner. For him, the president ial race is not over yet. Know what the president of iran is not going to be the president of the woman currents going to be donald trump. He feared his business might be hit by the pen demick, but now he has orders until july next year. Republicans, he says, are good for the construction sector. Despite his support for trump, he has his own opinion on covert 1000, specially after he tested positive. Everyone is going to get the virus and were going to fill up the hospitals. Testing is one of the crucial instruments to avoid to this problem may get cordie mates 10 Testing Centers in the past. So he works for a private company that is being paid by the state of texas. But his main concern in the pen to make is not political. I dont have fully knowledge of what joe biden is planning to do in his administration. But until now we havent had any kind of difficulties with the current administration. I dont think its a matter of resources. The main concern is how to communicate to the people what to do or not. Supporters. Biden supporters to different sites that seem to come together in the past. You have a spin, joins us from the German Institute for international and security affairs. Hes in tallinn. So in your opinion, what went wrong in the worlds top economy . Well, there are 2 sets of factors. I would say that went wrong. The 1st set has to do with the trumpet, ministration. Trump himself wasnt very interested and listening to experts doing the right thing, trying to do the best job he can and mitigating the spread of the virus. And the other set of factors concerns, structural issues in the united states. The fact that they have a very unequal Health Care System. The fact that the welfare state is quite weak and quite fragmented, and lot of people dont receive welfare. And the 3rd factor is that they have federalism, and a lot of action is actually up to the states and their governors and not to the Central Government. I would say those are the main reasons why it didnt go so well in the united states. Lets pick up on the 1st one of those, then what, what effect did the at going president play the coal so the virus is playing down of the virus . Well i think we all are familiar with the press conferences that he gave that late spring and early summer where he really just rattled and gave all kinds of conflicting messages about what to do to fight the virus. And we also know that he gave an interview to bob woodward where hes where he warned off the rock virus already in early, early march. But then he played it down to the public because he didnt want to hurt the economy and economy. And he wanted the stock market to do well. And i think the conflicting message, the fact that he didnt listen to experts, the fact that the people he appointed apart from the medical experts by the people he appointed on a political level, were not the most competent ones. They all contributed to the bad response that didnt really help there and containing the virus. So how will the new president do things differently . I guess hes got a bit of a mystically no. Right, i mean, joe biden already emphasized that this is one of his main priorities. Hes already appointed a council of advisors to fight the pending make. At this point, hes kind of in a bind because at the moment the virus release spreading rapidly and is kind of out of control. So i wouldnt expect him to fix the problem soon after he enters office on the 20th of january. I think it will be quite hard at this point to contain the virus. The people are tired of restrictions of lockdowns, and im afraid thats i think the solution will only come when vaccine is approved and widely distributed. One positive in your study, you wrote these huge aid packages, helped stop poverty from growing in the u. S. But that aids temporary. What now and whats that mean for americans . Health. Right. The for our aid packages that were passed by congress had a volume of over 2 trillion dollars and they actually did quite a lot to mitigate the economic damage of the pandemic. They provided as stimulus to the economy and they also helped simple people to make ends meet. Included in that was a 1200. 00 check for every adult citizen below a certain income group. Plus they actually extended unemployment aid and lifted unemployment 8. 00 to 600. 00 per week, which and 1st actually lowered the poverty rate despite the bad economy. Poverty actually went down, but those measures expired at the end of july. And congress has not been able to agree on an extension. So i think thats also one thing thats biden is going to try to do is get congress to, to pass another package. Even if you want well off, youre not going to be spared from the coronavirus. I mean, if everyone else around you is in situation or affected by the vice, i mean the virus doesnt discriminate, right . The virus itself can hit anyone. And as we saw from the fact that even president contracted it, nobody is really safe. On the other hand, the effects of the virus have been very, im equal 1st of all the u. S. Health care system is equal to begin with. The quality of care varies a lot between regions and even within regions. The New York Times found out that during the 1st wave of the pen to make in march, the death rate in the poor are areas of new york city was 3 times as high as and in the rich hospitals of manhattan. So the effects have really been on equal people are especially hit hard and even recently i read that there infection rate is hospitalization rates 4 times higher than that of white people. Virus itself doesnt discriminate, its effects can be very unequal and im equal thanks for joining us today. My pleasure and time for your questions on the coronavirus is derrick williams. What are the differences and similarities between flu and covert 19 . This is a regular question now that flu season is upon us in the northern hemisphere. Lets, lets look at the similarities between the 2 diseases 1st starting with how they spread. Which for both is mainly through droplets emitted when infected people cough or sneeze or talk with both respiratory diseases. People are also contagious before they begin to show symptoms themselves. And both can also have the same general path ology, at least at 1st. So many of the same symptoms, according to the u. S. Centers for disease control, the overlap includes fever, cough, shortness of breath, the t. , sore throats, runny nose, muscle pain, and headache. So if you develop those symptoms, especially in combination, its a good idea to get tested. Finally, of course, both can kill you, but that brings me to the 1st of the big differences i want to mention. Kogut 19 is a lot more likely to kill you than the flu, especially if youre elderly, or best. Current estimates say between about 6. 10 times more likely could 1000. 00 patients also appear to be contagious for longer than flu patients and more contagious than they would be if they had the flu, which, which isnt surprising really because for most of us, sars cove 2 is still a novel pathogen that our immune systems have never encountered before. Most humans have encountered flu strains before and although they mutate rapidly, which means they can evade the immune system again and again. Experts say to some extent that forewarned is forearmed. Finally, although both diseases can cause serious complications like inflammation of the, of the longs to the heart of the brain or other organs coded 19 seems to do it more often, which to at least some extent, explains why its more deadly.
