Restrictions seem to change critics say there are too many different which often make no sense plus the European Union agrees on russia for the poisoning of opposition. Of all that germany and france say the evidence leads. And the arctic ocean. Expedition to study Climate Change. All of you joining us on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world well we begin with the woman who could be the next u. S. Supreme Court Justice today the u. S. Senate began the process of filling the vacant seat on the. Top court and cementing a conservative majority there before novembers president ial election republicans are rushing to confirm president trumps nominee amy kone bears today decided started 4 days of questioning on her positions on Health Care Abortion and gun rights are nomination has sparked a partisan fight over a feeling they can Supreme Court seats in election years and speaking to the committee for the 1st time their think trump for nominating. Ranking member feinstein and members of the committee im honored and humbled to appear before you today as a nominee for associate justice of the Supreme Court. I thank the president for entrusting me with this profound responsibility as well as for the graciousness that he and the 1st lady have shown my family throughout this process or even more now im joined by our correspondent carla blanket shes on the story for us in washington good evening to you carla so the country heard for the 1st time today a statement by amy barrett what how did she freeze it herself. She came across as very calm very selfassured its and she talked about her her family and the role that a place in her life she introduced her husband and each of her 7 kids and eventually but she of course also talked about her career as a law professor at notre dame and as a church for the 7th Circuit Court of appeals you know she talked about things that are not controversial talk to me a little bit about why her nomination is so controversial. It is controversial mainly for the timing we are now roughly 3 weeks away from the u. S. President ial elections and democrats are outraged that the republicans are trying to push through this nomination before election day they are saying they should wait that the u. S. People are the American People should decide who the next president will be and then this president should decide who the next supreme Court Justice will be the republicans on the other hand are saying well a president is elected for 4 years not 3 years and this process is entirely constitutional so why should we not go through with exactly the democrats say that. Was not guaranteed for president obama when he was in the white house lets assume that. It does become a justice on the Supreme Court what will be her will were. As we have heard she was solidified the conservative majority on the Supreme Court if she gets confirmed it will be 6 justices who are considered conservative and 3 justices who are considered liberal now she likely wont answer any questions about how she would rule on specific issues that has really been customary for prospective justices to do in these confirmation hearings for a couple of decades now but we know that she has talked critically about the Affordable Care act also known as obamacare in the past and this is important because later in november after the election the Supreme Court will hear a case about the Affordable Care act where a group of republicans from texas want completely abolished and to speculate that the president has picked in the cone a parent because he believes she will help the Supreme Courts abolish the Affordable Care act which is something that he has been trying to achieve his entire time in office thats true thats a good point it could be one of the very 1st items of business that she does if she wins the nomination should he have you corresponded carl a black wrote the story for us in washington tonight carla thank you and heres a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world the long lines have formed in the u. S. State of georgia on the 1st day of early voting for next months president ial election voters waited up to 4 hours in some locations to pandemic an interest in the election this year appointed a surge in early voting in states that allow. This years nobel economics priorities and with nearly a 1000000 u. S. Dollars has been awarded to 2 americans paul no group and Robert Wilson specialize in syria there were hopes and training everything from airport landing slots to buying and selling goods online. Facebook c. E. O. Mark zuckerberg has announced that the platform will ban pows that did not i or distort the holocaust users who search for information about the nazi genocide will instead be directed to authoritative sources that change is part of facebooks attempt to tackle conspiracy theories and misinformation ahead of the u. S. President ial election here in Europe Germany has fared better during the coronavirus pandemic than many of its neighbors but the number of new hot spots across the country is on the rise especially in urban areas thats prompted a range of new restrictions which differ from state to state leaving lots of people uncertain about the rules. 2 weeks of fall vacations are in full swing for many people across germany but travel will be difficult this year especially for those living in the country socalled corona virus risk areas. Various areas have surpassed the threshold of 50 infections per 100000 residents over one week including german cities like berlin munich frankfurt and cologne. To try to stop the spread of the virus many german states have introduced travel restrictions for people who live in the risk areas in the states they cant stay in hotels or guest houses unless they show a negative covert 19 tests no older than 48 hours or quarantine for 14 days but other states havent imposed restrictions the picture is chaotic making it hard for people in germany to understand where they can travel to and under what conditions the federal government is the fending the measure but critics say the Domestic Travel restrictions wont help stop the pandemic and will put a strain on germanys testing system. In my opinion really a reasonable. Measure because most travelers are no really infectious. Low risk. With the number of very important and very very p. C. R. Terrorists in order to make sure that. It is also very burdensome for the travelers and it is basically useless for controlling the penned in germany. The new restrictions have disrupted travel plans at a time when many families across the country normally go on vacation people are frustrated by the lack of clarity. On the one hand they think its confusing for example i live in brandenburg and work in berlin and sometimes i wonder which rules apply where this always leads to some confusion and i would have liked more consistent rules i would prefer some uniform rules citizens would be more aware and maybe the rules would be communicated better. And if people understood the measures better maybe more would respect them. German chancellor Angela Merkel will meet with state leaders on wednesday as. It isnt of the accommodation band grows they will try to bring some order to the chaos. Parlous take the story now to our chief Political Correspondent linda crane shes on the story for us tonight here in berlin good evening to you melinda so how worried is the German Government about these increases in urban hotspots the government is worried this folks men have for the chancellor said today that the situation is very serious that the country is on the verge of are already in a 2nd wave and that germany is associating an increase in the number of severe cases requiring hospitalization and intensive care so he called this a decisive moment for germany and we understand that each german state is introducing its own rules here why news there. Well according to germanys federal system the it is to state and local authorities that have the power to impose rules and restrictions related to health and hygiene so formally they have this power and the fact is that the situation there isa a great deal between. Densely populated urban areas on the one hand such is munich or land which are in fact virus hotspots right now and on the other hand rural areas like those in the north the cities of the states is the host i work next and far and therefore the authorities in those more rural areas perhaps understandably say we want to limit travel from viral hotspots and therefore are imposing these restrictions nonetheless the fact is that people who live in urban areas and were planning to travel within the country are frustrated and therefore there will be a discussion later in the week as we heard in the report between the chancellor and the state premiers trying to see if they can find a way a solution to all of these discrepancies and you know some of these new restrictions lifted they dont really appear to make sense of youve got for example berliners are not allowed to stay in hotels in brandenburg which is just a bit of 20 miles away but they are allowed to travel to greece. Thats right and a viral adjusts experts have cast doubt on how effective some of these new rules are but you know if we think back to the days of april and early may when section rates were also rising theres a tendency the err on the part of some political authorities simply to put into place measures to look for actions as a means of calming people and giving the impression that somethings being done thats right do something please its what they say so many times when the grain of the story for us here in berlin linda thank you. Well the u. K. Is home to europes highest pandemic death toll the new infections there are growing at an alarming rate especially in the north of england today Prime Minister Boris Johnson outlined new measures to control the virus telling parliament that targeted localized restrictions are the best way for we must act to save lives and the evidence shows that in changing our behavior in restricting transmission between us. Our actions on saving lives. Left unchecked each person with the virus will infect an average of between 2. 00 and 3. 00 of us but sage assess the current on nationally is between 2. 01. So were already suppressing that to well below its natural level which is why the virus is not spreading as quickly as it did in all right lets take the story out of london dark correspondent big advances on the story for us tonight you need to you get so no National Lockdown for the u. K. What is the u. K. Getting tonight. Brown thats right people have been bracing themselves for additional measures and or is johnson explained and weve heard also doctors recently ruling somebody said theres like is like a tsunami waiting to happen because we see that we if we compare their hospitalization of patients that we are at the similar level that we were when lockdown started in march so that is really a problem and a problem is increasing specifically in the north of england and this is why Prime Minister for us johnson is now trying to put a brake on this and he introduced a system of 3 tears basically trying to make it transparent trying to explain to the people that this is going to work in england wide with the lowest here which for example we see in and london at the moment where things are staying as they are so pubs are closing at 10 oclock for example schools are open. Most shops are open but then its the scale of a higher level and a very high level of risk and and different sort of measures that will be agreed with local councils. These areas the top tier of where you use that are on the highest award love will be do we know exactly what restrictions will be imposed. What the Prime Minister said that there will always be a discussion with the local councils in order to get people on board and. Help help to actually adhere to the measures we do know that in the very high risk areas people will be restricted from visiting each other in doors and also there is talk that restaurants and bars can only call if they so meals know basically node not just drinking in order to help people to stay sober and not. To maintain social distancing basically what problem is that was johnson is trying to do hes been criticized a lot of late the trust level and how the government is handling the pandemic has really slumped of late because there was a theres a lot of talk that so many mistakes have been made particularly in the north of england where we now see where the problem is big is at the moment people are local leaders are complaining that the lockdown measures that were in place early in the year that eased to quickly there were east when everything was easier and better and london but what happened in the north wasnt really taken into account so it was still quite a high level of the virus being around and looked and was least these too early and this is why were seeing these problems now in the north of england used to boston destroyed. Thank you. Spain has europes highest number of cases more than 860000 the Central Government has declared a state of emergency in the capital madrid doctors there say that they are preparing for the worst. The lineups continue to get longer in front of moderates health care centers. The workday should already be over for dr manu garo but shes making time for a quick interview outside her clinic the authorities have banned doctors from talking to the media however she wont be silenced and she remembers only too well the disastrous weeks back in march when migrates Health Care System collapsed. Do not get him or do not want to experience that again the government has to do its homework and must keep its promises and more personnel thats the only way well be able to master the situation and protect the population. The number of those testing positive in madrid has been increasing dramatically for weeks but instead of dealing with it the conservative Regional Government got in broiled in a dispute with spains Ruling Center left government. Epidemiologist trend under gothia together with 600. 00 Health Care Experts released a report accusing Decision Makers of not having learned from whats happened in recent months. Looking c. S. E. At this case with a few actions simply negligent and they arent intervening the pandemic has worsened again since the end of july and they are apparently hoping that the problem will go away by itself. Shut up which can be after 1st declining to deal with the accusations now that its deputy minister of health is ready to state his case despite about 10000 people having died so far from the disease in the spanish capital he sees no reason to be selfcritical. So without magic it is a safe city it has a fantastic health cast. System we already saw that in spring and considering all measures taken we certainly should not disregard the possible social or economic consequences for citizens in the last friday the Central Government finally imposed a temporary state of emergency in much it effectively overpowering 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 file a petition is actually did that job its a sentence that you hear more and more on the streets off now that it 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. Dr i know that all that isnt done yet she takes a short coffee break 3 hours after her shift was supposed to end and will then it tends to more patients shes worried that the coming days will even be longer for her and her colleagues.
