Consequences for citizens in the last friday the Central Government finally imposed a temporary state of emergency in madrid effectively over powering their Regional Government since then strict rules have been imposed again local only allowed to leave the city in exceptional cases the virus would be less destructive to follow up on egyptians actually did that job its a sentence that you hear more and more on the streets of madrid people are increasingly tired of a political system in which power games seem more important than pragmatic Crisis Management and they hardly see any sign of improvement. Doctor at all it isnt done yet she takes a short coffee break 3 hours after her shift was supposed to end and will then attention 2 more patients. Shes worried that the coming days will even be longer for her and her colleagues. And here in germany authorities have also brought in new restrictions as corona virus cases in some cities reach what they call worrying levels the Southern City of munich is now classed as a virus hotspots private and public gatherings that are limited to 10 people and only 25 guests are allowed to attend big events like weddings or birthdays in the cabs of berlin and the western city of cologne new curbs were put in over the weekend bars clubs and restaurants have to shots by 11 at night. Joined by Andrew Allman hes a member of the German Parliament for the freedom a critic party and also an expert in Infectious Diseases himself and so much more and more german cities becoming coronavirus hotspots are you worried. Of course because the development of those numbers are increasing and its about time that we traced try to face this problem with this lawyer to strategy right now and were still working on old. Methods to keep these numbers down. But. Theres a lot of confusion about new containment measures every german state seems to be introducing different rules isnt it time that we have a coordinated approach with the same rules for everyone. Oh this is the only clear we need a cord approach and uniform rules throughout germany boat go that far exceeded even within the European Union because one problem that we faced in the springtime was the case of a lockdown and also closing of orders we have to actually appreciate that the fires is diffusely all around the world and also all around europe and we cannot cut down on the hotspots we have to look at the clusters but we have to actually uproot this situation worse smarter more intelligent to be sure that out the good at this rate will be slowed down but to be honest any measure that we take will never give us 100 Percent Security it will just reduce the risk of spreading this virus and i think that is the important part that we have to understand and thats why its so important to have a very smart to strategy because we have capacities besides the p. C. R. Because these chemicals these are already limited but we have new tests coming up we know the Global Community and for example the antigen from the tests. And many cases have some bizarre side effects but limits for example are not allowed to stay in the whole town they bring the book which is sort of half an hours drive from here but there are lots of travel to greece how can you explain that to normal people. I actually cannot explain this to normal people because i think these measures are inappropriate our Health Minister just last week nice ago said that it is important during the fall the cation time that you should do take your vacation here within germany and do not travel outside of our country but not all of a sudden hotel argumentations or. You want to call it a holiday apartment or youre not allowed to visit anymore if you are coming from a region here in germany where there is a higher incidence rate of infections so this doesnt really make so much sense i think you could still travel through germany if you take the important interest there with taking distance hygiene rules and very mask and can be combined in this to strategies as well andrew man of parliament for the liberal f. T. P.

Senate is set to begin hearings on president Donald TrumpsSupreme Court nominee judge a meek only baratz the 4 day hearings are expected to be a bitter partisan fight ahead of the november president ial election if approved ballot will replace a liberal Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg who recently died aged 87. At 48 a judge could shape the Supreme Court for many decades to come 3 years ago trump a point of the staunch conservative to the federal court of appeals in chicago she has indicated support for gun rights trumps immigration policies and restrictions on abortion and l g b t rights group called her quote an absolute threat feminists fear she may move to restrict abortion rights in 2013 as a professor at the university of notre dame she was quoted as saying life begins at conception the Senate Democrats grilled her on her religious views during the 27000 Appeals Court confirmation hearings and into california senator Dianne Feinstein was even accused of anticatholic bigotry i think your case professor. When you read your speech is. The conclusion one draws is that the dog lives loudly within you barrett has said repeatedly that her faith wouldnt interfere with her judicial decisions if barrett is confirmed to be for election day on november 3rd one of the 1st case this in front of her will be about the fate of the Affordable Care act known as obamacare trump wants to invalidate the law which provides health care to millions of americans. With more on that story im joined by william gluco from all u. S. Elections in william what can we expect from todays hearing i think we can expect strong calls from republicans to nominate or to appoint this judge to the Supreme Court theyre going to say that shes proven shes dedicated shes a skilled shes a skilled just as a skilled juror who will be a benefit to the Supreme Court and of course democrats are going to be saying the opposite that shes a radical that she doesnt stand with the majority views of a lot of americans whether its on whether its on l g b t rights or guns or abortion and of course as we just heard in the report the Affordable Care act obamacare it might be one of the 1st things she is confronting and democrats are worried that shes going to based on previous comment shes made that shes going to help the one of the justices to strike it down of course we have access released was a statement her Opening Statement that shes expected to give today at the hearing and she says of course thats all nonsense one of the big quotes to jump out of her statement is shoes says or is going to say a judge must apply the law as written not as the judge wishes it were so there shes trying to make the case that shes going to be neutral shes in a look at the law hes not going to let her personal opinions. Have an effect on how she rules but of course all judges are going to be looking at. You know their personal habitation of the constitution and the various laws why is this. Supreme court pick some hope i mean it always is you know the United States is known for being a very litigious country people like to have their day in court theres also an endless appeals process almost in the United States so the Supreme Court plays a very Important Role in people who feel wronged to have to have those wrongs righted and the Supreme Court over decades has played such a major role in shaping the United States as it is today whether as i mention guns abortion l. G. B. T. Rights mean gay marriage was passed in the past excuse me under obama during the Supreme Court basically made that legal or at least that it wasnt even legal and of course desegregation in the schools is a Supreme Court is a big push by the Supreme Court so its not always up to congress that makes laws up to what the Supreme Court says if those laws or are just and constitutional or not and we have now a 54 split between conservatives and liberals one you know one more vote fear radically for the conservatives and this would push us to a 63 with Ruth Bader Ginsburg having died now off the court people say theres now going to be a lock for conservatives and that has democrats and progressives extremely worried that this will shape american politics for decades the congress of course his appointees are have lifetime on the bench will she play the role that liberals fear she will but what can we can we predict what kind of role she will place very difficult to predict we can only lean so much on history for what to predict the future theres a long history of justice is basically conservative justice is turning out to be disappointing from a conservative point of view the most recent example is john roberts the chief justice he was appointed by george w. Bush by no means to say hes suddenly a liberal justice but he has come down in several significant rulings foremost among them being the alternative the Affordable Care act and upholding obamacare much to the frustration and anger of many conservatives so just because a justice is conservative in the past doesnt mean he or she always will be Going Forward with a group of thank you very much.

Heres a closer look at this historic expedition. Its a temblor 29900 the German Research vessel palash then sets out on a historic expedition with hundreds of scientists from 20 countries. Their destination is the polar region there him to gain new insights into almost swiftly changing climate. You know told by the ice breaker docked into a huge ice floe and locks into the ice. The scientists set up their state of the art instruments to morning toward the flows lifecycle from its formation to its credible destruction at the end of the arctic summer and. The actors and. The arctic is heating up at a much faster rate than the rest of the world we see a dramatic change we need to understand that process as the arctic is an integral part of the Global Climate system if we dont understand whats happening in the arctic we cant predict the climate an hour later toots thats what were here for we need to collect the data so that we have a Solid Foundation for basing political decisions. From their floating lab the scientists took water samples examined the arctic flora and fauna measured the sea ice and launched weather balloons all in extreme conditions for months they worked in total darkness at times the temperature drop to almost minus 40 degree celsius getting supplies through to the researchers was a constant challenge. But everything went according to plan until the corona pandemic threatened to undermine the complicated logistics chain. To pull ashton was forced to temporarily abandon the flow and head to the no vision port of. The call up let me have that. We faced huge challenges because of the pandemic we were forced to replant the entire logistics how to replace the crew deliver supplies and refuel the ship we had to complete and we organize the entire process its a unique situation and were happy we found a quick solution or one of the sets of data kept up.
