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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

An important route in terms of trade, connecting westerners sat under control of miracle in mauritania.
