And that has been quite consistent over the past couple of months with several covert 19 vaccines now in the pipeline and nearing approval. Whats the governments garson Action Strategy . Well, the vaccination strategies is still being discussed. What we do know so far is that the government is planning 60 Vaccination Centers across the country. Its bound to receive vaccinate risk groups 1st, and its going to cover the costs. And obviously, very importantly, the Coronavirus Vaccine will be voluntary only from how much time. Thank you ladies. The numbers of infected people rise here in germany, hospital intensive care units are having to care for increasing numbers of critically ill patients. Although the countrys Health Sector is technically well equipped to deal with the pandemic, a lack of qualified medical stuff means hospitals are looking for volunteers to fill the gaps. Germanys parliament has been working here for 18 years, but she has another job too. When the corona pandemic hit germany, she volunteered to work part time as an intensive care nurse in berlin hospital just finished a 9 hour shift taking care of covert patients.

Like susan, have you got she trained to be a nurse over 25 years ago, but decided to move into a different profession. In this all hands on deck situation. Its people like her that are needed now that the i. C. Use are running at full capacity. If one person is taking care of 3 or 4 covert patients, thats rough. You have very little time. After work, i leave the hospital with a sad feeling because they couldnt give the patients the attention that they deserve. Despite rising corona numbers, germanys Health Care System has not crashed yet. But hospitals were already understaffed, and the workload was too high before the pandemic. Despite all the problems, zinah has rediscovered her passion for nursing care. She couldnt even imagine quitting her job in the, in the stock.

Hes an Infectious Disease specialist at the university of california, francisco. And thats the u. S. Apostles, 250000. We asked him, how could things get this bad . I think they answer is pretty simple. Its the lack of a national strategy. Its like where 50 Different Countries with 50 different strategies and 1st theres no any warders so that its no surprise that whats happening in one part of the country happens in the other right now. The whole country is exploding. There wasnt a pizza chain, the whole Infectious Disease specialist at the university of california speaking to us.

Supporters and who migrant crisis is emerging on Spains Canary islands where just last month small that 8000 africans arrived by boat oping to get to europe. Human Rights Groups say people are being kept in dire conditions when they arrive, while local Officials Say they are simply overwhelmed by the situation. The journey by sea to the Spanish Islands is arguably europes most treacherous for migrants. Choice has been to gran canaria to see what awaits them. From here, journalists can go no further. Some 2000 african migrants are being housed in this camp in the ports of gran canaria. 5 times as many as were expected. Aid groups have spoken of squalid conditions, but its impossible for d. D. News to find out. She must santana work for the refugee council. His colleagues have been inside the camp. Everyone seems on the floor. Some intense and some out in the open. Weeping criticizing this from day one, but we didnt think it would get this bad. There are 2000 to 300 people in the camp, and the numbers are growing every day. 2000 migrants arrived in the Canary Islands. Last weekend alone. The crossing is dangerous, but the coronavirus pandemic has cut off other migration routes. The government has started housing new arrivals in hotels near the camp. Human rights activists say theyre not getting a fair shot at the asylum system. A group of migrants from senegal, say they fear theyll soon be deported. But journalists are not welcome here either. D. W. News is told to leave in mid conversation. Hes angry at the Spanish Government, but also feels abandoned by the european union. That im disappointed with spain and with europe. This is shameful. What 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 crises here on the canaries. Spains government refuses to relocate the migrants to the mainland. Critics say this is turn the islands 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 in the Spanish Government has now started to procure further accommodation for the migrants. Many fear that this housing was philip before long of a more this story can all speak to some of the rooty from the International Organization for migration. He joins us from madrid. Mr. Over already, why is it that so many african migrants are now heading for the Canary Islands instead of the european mainland . Well, then step forward is interview. Actually, as you know, migration is a complex phenomenon and so were beginning to see dead. There are a lot of the factors at play in the region, especially in central and western africa. There are, of course, so this issue of going to be factors that are used to push migrants to, to look for a better day. There obviously also observed this taboos, and the established snubbing goops, they have to have basically reactivated a normal existing woods towards their going to riyadh. And there is also, of course, there are the covered 19, the of brick, which have actually basically induced the Border Closure of the restriction movement. And there may have to migrants to hold these routes instead of the i would say more traditional with their traditional who would be there with the military. And one that just gives you good to speed could assist this. This have been anticipated by the authorities. So shouldnt they have been better prepared . Well actually did the or where of the band was a surprise for everybody. And we not is to actually scenes. I think, 2 years there was a slight increase of a radicals birth defect that there snowden, who show a real capacity to adapt to the challenges imposed by the girl with 19 the restriction of movement of the Border Closures. And you know, since the fact they dont have any scruple to push my guns in a very dangerous foods, earth, these rebels have increasing scenes the month of february, births, scenes, july, august, observed a significant increase. What do you expect now from the Spanish Government, from e. U. Leaders actually . Well, the things that spain has a, i would say, the more there are standing experience and downs of migration an edge. And again, just we call the experience here 2 years ago in 2018 when almost 60000 migrants arrive in this thing is that in an area around, they just dont have the suitable capacity and facilities to in order to properly manage doing those are my vision flows in order to apply what is foreseen, whos in the know, what should they do . How is the interruption, what, what, what, what should the Spanish Government actually do now . Yet, so the set of measure there has been decided we could go the most important to our opinion is just to establish a space for the creation of migrants. Just to ensure that all the proceeds would be applied and demented with the established amount of said it is me, 72 hours. So they have the needs of screening of the never t. Assessment of prediction petition needs. These have to be very shortly because the situation is very critical. We cannot accept the fact that those persons are the conditions there are just and you can find some other o. T. From the International Organization for migration. Thank you very much for joining us here on news. Armenia, as leader has presented a plan to resolve a political crisis that began after he signed a truce with azerbaijan, aimed at ending fighting over the disputed nagornokarabakh region.

Emily sherman is in the armenian capital year van, she just returned from the goal a car backed. Heres what she had to say about the situation on the ground that things are peaceful now in nagornokarabakh, but there are traces of the recent war. Everywhere you look as we were driving through the region, we saw burnt out cars along the roadside. We saw cars that had been thrown off the road by bomb blasts. We even saw a rocket that was literally sticking out of the road. And people were kind of driving around it. And the same can be said of the cities and towns in nagornokarabakh, where windows were blown out by the blasts. And you can see where the bombs hit as people try to rebuild people also in many areas have been leaving their houses. Areas that have been under armenian control, but now are being handed over to control. People have been burning their houses so that they dont leave anything behind for us or by john. The main emotion on the ground. As well as here in yerevan is and also a real sense of betrayal by Prime Minister nicole. People say, and have been saying to us that he sold off part of our land and that cannot be forgiven. Now, so far. Doesnt seem to want to resign, even though the calls for him to resign. Have been very loud. There have been protests almost every day here and you are of on. And armenias president has also called for cabinet to resign and for new elections. So far pushing on himself has only said that hes willing to reshuffle his cabinet. Hes been trying to explain why he signed the recent peace deal to the people. But he seems to want to weather the storm before we let you go, a bit of time to make of course, is just of the lives of money. Animals are also being disrupted to release those in captivity.

Germany is one of the leading Meat Processing countries in europe, but the sector has been a hot spot for the corona virus. Some of the largest outbreaks have happened in slaughterhouses. Thousands of people have been infected by the virus in germany to companies. Often the workers cant keep their distance at work or in that accommodations. Many of them have come from Eastern Europe for seasonal work. Some of these workers are employed by agencies that provide temporary staff and who dont shy away from dubious methods wage. Dumping long, working hours, fake documents, foreign as who signed contracts, as hes in a workers are often vulnerable, like a group of young ukrainians who had been lured by the false promise of well paid illegal jobs. Our reporter traveled to advice and failed in eastern germany to find out more about this story. The 1st night next. Our name for him. At the end of september, hes from a small target in western ukraine and works in the restaurant industry. But he wanted to earn more money. So he went online to find a job. In germany i found a ukrainian job agency. They said the jobs were legal. They gave me papers so that i could travel to germany and work in a meter factory in the town of vice, and that is much for 9 euros 35. 00 per hour. Want to talk is a very particular to your job Site International work, organize the trip for him and other job seekers. They took a mini bus from ukraine to their place of work in germany, accompanied by a supervisor as known, e. U. Citizens. It should not be not easy for them to enter germany, but maxime says the agency gave him false peepers. That he was a student with a vacation job. In reality, hes never studied. Even c. Charge over 500. 00 euros to find him a job. As their partner for when i said i wasnt a student and asked why i was issued these papers, they said, dont worry, not your problem. Weve had dozens of ukrainians, like maxine turned up for work at a meat factory in saxony and hauled in 2020. All of them, supposedly students looking for a vacation job some have been offered for very different jobs before their journey. But marina, which is not her real name. There were 3 jobs on offer. A supermarket job one in candy, and one in a bakery. But we ended up with a very different one in a Meat Processing factory. The work was extremely difficult for women and men. The women had to lift heavy crates of meat and Meat Products that weighed between 25 and 30 kilos. The work for the socalled student started in mid september, but lasted only 5 days. The German Authorities quickly realized there was something odd and ukrainians found out that the police had searched their accommodation. When i came home, i discovered that the door had been broken and there was a new look. Our translator has written a note saying that the police had raided our apartment, broken the lot and put on a new one. It was little and it was a box of miller. This was a coordinated Police Operation in the 23rd of september, across 5, german states, 800 Police Officers searched the apartments of people working illegally, as well as the offices of job agencies. The authorities focused on each and seize for temporary jobs, suspected of bringing workers into germany with false documents. Public prosecutors also question the young ukrainians, who were told they had to leave germany and were banned from returning for 3 years. But prosecutors see them as both perpetrators and victims. As hundreds show i did sort of mobility for getting into the charges are relatively minor. Is illegal entry into germany and a legal residence are not crimes. Theyre misdemeanors. If someone has never been in trouble with the law, so we will most likely drop the charges against him, just yet funky into the coffin sadist. During their stay in germany, maxime and the others were officially employed by the german e. T. C, back khana, and lens hope to meet factory. The company which is not want to speak to us is currently under investigation. It ceases major penalties a thing guilty. It is a talking 100. 00 decision, but this involves an actual crime which means that the minimum penalty is one year in jail for each separate offense that we looked online for the ukrainian job Site International work which organized the journey, from maxime and the others. Its still advertising jobs in the e. U. , but did not want to speak with us. Many of the jobs with german work certificates currently do not seem to be feasible because of restrictions related to the coronavirus. Many young people in ukraine seek better paid jobs abroad and they too could become the victims of criminal job agencies. Paying a lot of money to get a job, getting into trouble with the German Authorities and not earning anything. Maksim says that he has learned a lesson senator i would now check everything very carefully. Are also turn to specialists to find out information about the journey. Not like i did, then. We didnt know where we were going or what we were doing. If you dont know where youre going, you not only risk being deported, you could end up in jail. In the end, maxine, many others were in one way fortunate. They couldnt afford their return journey to ukraine. So the city of by using things paid it for the bombs, they had imagined their trip to germany would be very different. And now the German Government wants to introduce the number of reforms to the meat industry, including restricting temporary staff and increasing controls by authorities. One of the Worlds Largest road and train tunnels is currently being built between germany and denmark. It will be 18 kilometers long, and commuters will only need 10 minutes to travel underground from one end to the other. On the danish side, people are looking forward to the completion of the fair man built tunnel, but on the german side, not everyone thinks the project is such a good idea. Going to get hansen is one of those opposing the tunnel. The baltic sea is his home and his workplace, and hes afraid of what years of construction work will do to the environment. Good. I got hanson heads out into the baltic sea almost every day to empty his traps. He used to fish for cod herring and flounder, but these days its mostly eels. But he fears this could be a thing of the past of construction of the tunnel goes ahead. Its a tough guy. He was, im totally annoyed by this whole situation with the famine belt fixed link. Weve been trying to say about fish supplies for decades along with research, as weve tried to keep to all the rules so that we leave behind a healthy baltic sea. And now theres this massive projects which were just a radical, all the efforts of the past 20 years going now has examined all the Environmental Impact assessments and the details of the tunnel design. Hes most worried that the seabed will be disturbed for years. And the ecological balance in the particularly important legion of the baltic sea will suffer. Thats helped like it beats from healing. The main spawning area for herring and causes on the famine belt where theyre digging. But there are of course, other valuable fish species and other creatures such as the porpoises who breed and live there and which are now being scared away by the construction noise. That while many people are still resisting the project on the german side, the excavators have already arrived on the danish coast. At a press conference at the offshore construction site, the Company Building the tunnel wants to demonstrate to International Journalists that everything is going to plan. And that theres no turning back can see if theres a large gap over it. So you can get there if youre going to go. The biggest working harbor in europe is currently being built on the coast of the Danish Island of lot done just for the tunnel project. The danish Construction Firm thinks that the criticism by the german environmentalists is exaggerated. We are taken by medical church very seriously, and we have actually just signed a project to minimize any impact we may have on you. By any time were working, theyll be best at the special vessels sailing around the construction site that theyre taking different measurements. For instance, for said imitation in the water. The Company Presents its vision of the future with coffee and snacks. The tunnel wont be drilled. Instead she which concrete construction elements will be joined together on the seabed. The worlds longest immersed tunnel with link germany and denmark with journey times of just 10 minutes. Denmarks economy expects the 1000000000 euro project will boost growth. People in the port over what the half and also hope for a significant financial boost from the tunnel. New investments and thousands of construction workers would revive the small town and could help generate much needed business for the towns only pub. Its owner daughter of on is excited about the plans we took or what got you. The locals are really optimistic. The project will bring many workers over the next 10 years, which will generate more revenue for local businesses to the Construction Company is doing a good job of protecting the environment and keeping in touch with local v. A. But over on the german side, the mood is a very different one. These blue crosses which can be seen in many places, symbolize the protest against the tunnel. Most residents on the island of fame and oppose the tunnel. They fear it will ruin. Its a deal of charm and deter tourists. Cardi noirmont rents out holiday apartments. Shes worried these, our island will suffocate and all the dust, pollution, and noise. We found that now during the coronavirus pandemic, many people especially appreciate calm getaways like this, but they will become even rarer if our Little Island is destroyed. Back to fisherman get tonnes and he had hoped legal action would block the construction project. But the environmentalists claims were rejected at the highest level. Kinds of us that christine, i dont understand how Something Like this could be possible in this day and age. And i dont understand our lawmakers who are refusing to stand up and say, well stop this. We cant be doing this relies on the small island of fame. Unverse says a large scale transport project, the tunnel designed to bring people closer together, is causing much unrest in this border region. Tourists mainly know iceland as a place where they can experience the wonders of nature up close volcanoes, glaciers these areas. But scientists, there are also making use of these forces of nature, like in headless havey, which is home to one of the Worlds Largest your thermal power plants. And that added to a t. M. Is looking for smart ways to get rid of the Carbon Dioxide thats already in the atmosphere. It might sound strange, but it turns out that this gas can be turned into stone. What better place to save the planet from Global Warming than iceland . It has energy to spare. Everywhere the earth is in motion. Scientists call it an axis full kind of area. Icelanders of long realize that the countrys hot springs can serve as more than tourist attractions. A half hours drive east of the capital, reykjavik lies the hecklers. Here the power station has been generating electricity and heat from steam. Since 26 has become one of the worlds biggest few thermal power plants. But theres another reason why scientists entrepreneurs and reporters are not flocking here. They want to meet with the c. E. O. Of a Company Called car fix. Its working to reverse the greenhouse effect, albeit on a small scale. Basically whats happening is that we are sucking the atmosphere through this machine and the c o 2 sticks to a specific chemical there within this unit and see what comes out about this so much cleaner this year. But with so much snow where you dont want that. But i began using this kind of vacuum cleaner for Carbon Dioxide peat years ago. And one of the pumping stations and out of here explains what happens to the c o 2. From here we have off on the ground, right, transporting this year to that was captured of the cup you want there, and that is all the water. And this is not what we inject into the subsurface, 700 meters underground. To see you to then react with the basle prop
