Grounded after 2 fatal crashes. The months of scrutiny. The boeing 737 max hes cleared to fly again. Well lets pick up those points with nina hauser who is there in the thick of it. Well, welcome back. Nina. So overly restrictive a lack of legitimacy. Do the demonstrators have a point all the criticism of that, of those amendments all that law because its not as starts a new law, but the criticism does come from all sides. It comes from these demonstrators and it also comes from members of the german bundestag. But the difference, and id like to make that difference between the 2 groups is that the people behind me here dont believe some of them dont believe in the current of virus. Some of them didnt either government. This is to me, its legitimacy whatsoever. So they dont stick to the rules at all, social distancing, cetera. Theyre not wearing masks, which is why the police saw themselves forced to employ to deploy the water cannon. The criticism from the bundestag is much more varied and they want to criticise certain aspects, the liberal f. T. P. For example, say that the current amendments to that law dont give the german bund, the start the parliament enough of a say they say too much power is censored within the hands of the German Government theres lots of people that thousands of people, apparently. So lets talk about the wider context and of these coronavirus measures. Is there widespread support amongst germans . Well, you know, these images behind me are of course, very impressive. And of course they are, these people are very strong when you look at social media, etc, theyre very vocal. They have also radicalized over the last few months, so you can get the feeling that this is a big fraction of the german population. And that is simply not true. If you look at the latest polls, theres a vast majority of germans who still support the government in its measures. And some of those people even want the government to deploy to impose tricked or measures. They do want the German Health system to be able to cope. Ok. D. W. Political correspondent, nina hearts. I beg your pardon. Thank you so much. And i see liverpool in northwest england, which has become the 1st a british city to conduct mass testing for corona virus. Around 100000. People have been tested in the nearly 2 weeks since the scheme began. Liverpool has one of europes highest covered 19 death rates. And the hope is that mass testing will help break the chain of transmission by identifying asymptomatic carriers. That shell some pill reports. This is being billed as the u. K. s latest weapon in the fight against covert 19, with the city of liverpool on the front line. That piloting a citywide testing scheme, the 1st of its kind in the u. K. And a massive p. R. Campaigns underway to list the half a 1000000 People Living in liverpool, the move people get tested, the better we can protect that great city and drive down that start the fight back against, lets get tested. Lets do it together. For liverpool, local authorities, a set up dozens of testing sites across the city. And they brought in the army to help. The logistics considerations of this operation have been significant, so we deployed 2000 troops to the city of liverpool within 3 days, across 45 sites. Liverpool volunteered to try the mass testing operation after, according one of the highest rates in europe. Authorities hope that by testing as much of the population as possible that identify more asymptomatic cases and break the chains of transmission. The scheme is tested over 100000 people since it started a week and a half ago. But theres still a long way to go ahead of time. You were. Its good. Its a good idea that ive had mine done. Both mainly has been to a negative i think to get the whole population tested, to be able to identify whos got a particularly those who have it and dont show any symptoms. Its importance, it should definitely last for the processing tests quickly is the key to a scheme like this asymptomatic volunteers. Myself included, are asked to do this work themselves. You get the results on your phone within an hour of the actual flow devices that are being tossed in 5 like the font across liverpool. Now a lot like a pregnancy test, they can determine results in 20 to 30 minutes. And the benefit is the results can be processed right here, the testing site instead the lab. And thats why the test at the back of liverpools math test. Theres some dispute about how many positive cases are being missed. Critics also fear that getting a negative test could give people a false sense of security that results only valid until the moment you leave the building. And once again, at risk of being exposed to local councillor, paul brown says this scheme was never designed to be a silver bullet. We need to explain to the public. This is not a passport to misbehave. This is part of the jigsaw of wider public protection. It will be difficult to tell what direct effects this scheme house on causing. In fact, its happening while england is in lockdown. The poor bryant says every asymptomatic case thats identified is a step in the right direction. As weve identified through that program, 527 people who we now know were positive, who had no symptoms, and were not previously have known that they were symptomatic and infectious. And theyve now can take steps to take himself out of circulation and protect themselves and their family and their friends. The originally planned to last 2 weeks, this pilots likely to be extended with increasing public in gaijin top of their priority list. But its a blueprint for the u. K. s testing strategy. And the governments already announced more mass testing schemes in dozens of locations across the country. Lets take a look at some of the other developments in this pandemic starting in poland, which is rick reported, a record 603 coronavirus related deaths in the last 24 hour recording period as Health Services struggle to cope with the 2nd wave, hungarys extended its state of emergency until february, allowing the government to enforce partial lockdown measures, and the u. S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the 1st covered 19 home testing kit. It provides results within 30 minutes.

Trump has fired his top Cyber Security official, chris krebs, via twitter, the president cusins him of making an inaccurate statement. When he confirmed that the security of the november 30th election, mr. Trump continues to make claims of election fraud, which has yet to provide that evidence. I was just 2 months left in office. Donald trump is causing more International Alarm by ordering a sharp reduction in american troop numbers in afghanistan and iraq. America has 3000 soldiers in iraq and 4500 in afghanistan by mid january. These will be cut to 2 and a half 1000 in each place, as the outgoing president looks to make good on his Campaign Promise to end what he called for have a war. But hes facing opposition from leading republicans and from nato allies. The son could be setting on the u. S. Presence in afghanistan. American soldiers have been fighting here since 2001, helping stabilize the country after overthrowing taliban rule, but suffering over 2000 deaths over time. The numbers have waned. Now outgoing president , donald trump will reduce them to a skeleton force thats raising fears among afghans over the future. Security of their country. In my opinion, the withdrawal of foreign troops from afghanistan will cause the taliban to escalate their violence across the country. And it will also cause women to suffer more u. S. Forces withdraw from afghanistan. It will create a power vacuum, and the taliban will escalate the violence in a bid to seize more political power. In afghanistan. As u. S. Troop numbers to fall and extremists have gained in strength. This attack on couple university earlier this month killed 22 people. It was claimed by the socalled islamic state, which has emerged as a rival to the taliban. The taliban themselves have stepped up their attacks on Security Forces and civilians violating an agreement that foresaw the withdrawal of all u. S. Soldiers. By may next year, criticism of the latest drawdown even came from within the president s own party. Really important here in the last couple of months not to have any changes with regard to foreign policy. Neither afghanistan or iraq would be in iraq. The u. S. Military presence was greatly reduced after the defeat of isis in 2017. This is increased this way if neighboring, iran and militia groups aligned with as u. S. Soldiers head home, they could risk leaving the field to americas adversaries. More on this d. W correspondent, teri schultz, whos reported from afghanistan amongst nato troops. Welcome terry. Lets start with his reaction to this decision. Well, phil, before the decision was announced as final by the United States secretary general, yet stoltenberg warned strongly against it.

It remains in
