and you simmons has more from the capital vienna. the lockdown is back in austria, or as europe shivers at the onset of a 4th wave of cobit 90. this is salzburg, one of the worst hit places where intensive care units are filling up. last month, the national daily infection rates were around $3000.00 cases per day. they're now hovering between 14 and 16000. in the capital vienna christmas lights may be on, but like everywhere else, shopping has stopped for all but essential items. stalls are closed, people are allowed out for an occasional stroll in this locked down. there's plenty to see but not to pie. the manager of this restaurant has closed down and is giving his fresh produce away to locals. he's pessimistic. i think everybody has enough of it and question as oh, why again, wasn't there enough time to prepare? we have the locked on now because obviously it's needed. not far away. the christmas market usually brightened, busy at this time of year is a sullen place. we'll opt out of the shuttle to last up to 20 days with a review

one of the biggest concerns that the government has in vienna is the relatively low. busy vaccination rate, some 63.4 percent of the austrian population has been vaccinated that ranks them around 17th in the european league table. now, there is a fairly large vaccine skeptic population in austria. encouraged by the far right freedom party, which was the 3rd biggest party in parliament. but the chancellor, the relatively new chancellor. alex schellenberg has described that 63.4 percent figure. i've shamefully low. and when he came to try to devise restrictions to try to force people to get the vaccine. first of all, a week ago he band on vaccinated people from going to restaurants and law scale public events. now he's ordering them to stay at home unless there are specific circumstances such as going to go to work or to go to the doctors or to buy some groceries. because he said it was unfair that vaccinated people should have to be have their freedom's cattails simply because of the whim of that what he called the differing of the on vaccinated. now it's not just an a

at least we're expecting a large demonstration here in vienna on saturday, against the measures that the austrian government has brought in. we bring you all of the latest from that as it happens here on our t. h roll over there. now, europeans, not the only one trailing over the copays restrictions and, and cry in the united states has put the brakes on j biden's mandates to increase vaccination rates. there is initial idea concern businesses with over $100.00 employees with a possible fine of more than $100000.00. if workers were left on jabbed, but emer states of launched a legal battle against those measures. now the world health organization has repeatedly stood up for vaccines is an effective form of protection against the virus. we discussed the issue with a panel of guests. think there's a couple of really important things are number one, the fact that you're going to have a huge backlash across here, right? because people are already frustrated with this idea of green passes vaccine passports. but there's a bigger issue here. and i think the bigger issue is the fact that yes

one of the biggest concerns that the government has in vienna is the relatively low vaccination rate. some 63.4 percent of the austrian population has been vaccinated that ranked them around 17th in the european league table. now, there is a fairly large vaccine skeptic population in austria. encouraged by the far right freedom party, which is the 3rd biggest party in parliament. now it's not just an austrian problem . europe itself is the why the european countries are also worried. the netherlands is introducing new restrictions. they came into force on saturday morning. but also there's also going to be a discussion in germany later this week about introducing new restrictions there and latvia has even banned any parliamentary lawmakers. the rem piece who are unvaccinated bound them from actually participating in debates or voting in the latvian parliament. such is the concern in that country. another country where there is a low vaccination rate. so you can see that the alarm bells really are ringing all across europe. on this negotiable gary, and now it's having its 3rd election

michael: that is the journalist steve reporting from vienna. many thanks. many countries in europe have been struggling to convince large parts of their population to get vaccinated against covid-19, and they are now seeing a dramatic surge in infections. dw reporter joel gilroy is reporting the numbers. how did europe become the coronavirus hotspot of the world? joel: if you think back to the start of the summer, many european countries had some of the lowest covid-19 infection rates in the world. but that has changed dramatically. in the past week, nine out of the 10 countries where the situation has worsened the fastest are here. in europe. let's have a look at the countries that have been hit the hardest those marked in. dark colors on this might have had a surge in infection. you can see in the middle of europe a big dark patch around austria and its neighboring countries. meanwhile, the lighter colored countries are faring better. you can see those in the southern european countries. here is a few examples. portugal maintained a relatively littleover

reporter: we are right in the heart of vienna. normally, this tree would be packed with people, especially in the run-up to christmas. as you can see, there are just a few people going out for a walk or returning home from work. there is the sense people are locking down, a sense of frustration for some people, a sense of anger with others. even relief -- some people have said it's high time the government took this step because the coronavirus cases ve soared in recent days. ros: do we know how long the lock down will go on for? reporter: the government has said it will go on for 20 days. it will be reassessed after 10 days. but, of course, everything depends on whether the infection start to come down. people are hoping the chancellor, who i interviewed today, told me after that 20 days is up, they are hoping to lift the lockdown for the vaccinated and they will then be able to go to shops and restaurants as usual. but the big question, the divisive element in all of this debate is what we have been aring -- whether about this p
