a desperate situation of the indian government set up a new commission to monitor sources of air pollution across 5 known for dia the state's health experts and bob mentioned it said been warning for months that the easing of the lockdown would lead to an increase in pollution and the impact that would have on dogs because the 19. germany becomes the latest country to pause astra zeneca vaccinations over concerns about side effects but health experts insist it is safe. and our intent of this is our 0 live from london also coming up. protests in rebel held cities across syria as it marks 10 years of civil war with half a 1000000 people dead and millions more forced to leave their homes was

been mars military extends russian or off to the bloodiest day since the coup. and running for parliament even though she's too young to vote the new generation of potential politicians looking to shake up the dutch election. or the number of countries to suspend the rollout of the astra zeneca coven 19 vaccine is growing france italy germany and indonesia all said they'd be temporarily delaying rolling it out due to concerns over blood clots will no dozen nations have now stopped administering the astra zeneca shot a drug for the european medicines agency and the world health organization all insist it's safe this does not necessarily mean this events are linked to books. but it's routine practice to investigate them and it sure the surveillance system

works and effective controls are in place w 2 advisory committee on vaccine safety has been review we really believe it or is in close contact with the european medicines agency and will meet to morrow that mccain has more from that. in france in germany in italy and in many other european countries there is doubt about the safety of the astra zeneca vaccine enough doubt for a succession of health ministries to say we need to pass the decision back to the european medicines agency about how safe it is for us to give this vaccination to our citizens because of the concern reported about the incidence of blood clots now in the european medicines agency has said that it has been made or said in the last few days that had been a myth made aware of perhaps 30 instances of blood clots amongst around 5000000

doses having been administered in a lab statement was from a few days ago but that equates to a ratio of around one blood clot to every 170000 doses administered so you have concern on the european side but juxtapose that concern with what's being said in the united kingdom right now the british prime minister boris johnson in the course of the day that's that's gone by has said that he has every faith in the safety of the coronavirus vaccination has said see no evidence to suggest that it is not effective and that he is pleased at the pace with which the u.k. has gone about vaccinating its population dr peter back as an infectious disease and global health analyst he says the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh any risks. these are difficult situations when you hear reports of adverse events when a vaccine or medical product has already been rolled out in determining whether

there's actually a causative link or it just happens to be a coincidence and of course these vaccines are being given largely to people who are elderly or have other underlying medical conditions and may be at higher risk for developing things like blood clots irrespective of vaccines these went through rigorous clinical trials and blood clots were never determined to be a problem during those controlled trials and of course tens of millions of these vaccines have been given out now this safety pause i think is certainly the product of of the regulators in those countries and it's a reasonable step however we have heard from the world health organization the european medicines agency and others that at this point the benefits of vaccination clearly outweigh the risks we're operating in a fast moving situation where information is sometimes incomplete here's a we do know for certain there has never been a vaccine related death linked to any of the approved kovan 1000 vaccines that all of the approved cope in 1000 vaccines have 100 percent or near 100 percent

protection against severe kovan $1000.00 hospitalization and death so on the whole at both an individual level and at a population level i think that there is strong evidence favoring the benefit of these vaccines if i were offered a vaccine today astra zeneca or any other approved back scene i would take it in a hurry. thousands of protesters have turned out across several rebel held cities in syria and mocking 10 years since the start of the country's civil war the conflict is caused one of the wells last man tearing crises but more than half of syria's population displaced just isn't there a defiant saying that despite the years of conflict it will not be. the fight now because. our aim being here is to topple the regime and to overthrow its militia which we also i'm to unite house elves to keep syria unified and united i'm sure

the regime will be toppled and after 10 years we are still ongoing and we haven't stopped the effects of all the free people of syria with definitely toppled the regime say no measure no muscle out of my mouth as long as we have the will and as long as people from everywhere here the regime will be top old sooner or later and we are here today to convey a message to the entire world our message is that there is no power but the power of the law and the power of the syrian us but with president assad's forces firmly in control of most of the country many people are asking if it was all worth it saying a 100 looks back at a decade of conflict. this is the birthplace of syria's uprising in 2011 but opposition members call this moment the end of the dream of a democratic country it's 2018 and the government has just recaptured the southern province after 7 years of resistance. i almost had

a breakdown after all the sacrifices when they raised the flag we felt stabbed the town had a lot of symbolism for the revolution. it was here where the wall of fear was broken we watched syrians turn against the police state we watched them bury their dead demonstrators who were killed by security forces. there was still. going. protests spread to other areas in homs tanks were sent to suppress the uprising. the city which became known as the capital of the revolution became a battleground. and the regime forced us to take up arms and turned the uprising into a war it was. no longer possible to face guns without screams. there was a siege on the rebel stronghold after months of heavy fighting months later the

opposition agreed to leave the area. and. was among them he says they had little choice they were trapped without basic supplies running low on ammunition and abandoned by the world. 2 years later and after a 4 year stalemate the opposition was forced to abandon aleppo which weakened them politically. i felt broken when i got on the bus i still think about it but the siege was unbearable people were dying either by bombs or hunger. is among the millions of internally displaced syrians who live in the opposition controlled north unable and unwilling to live under syrian president bashar assad's rule but he says he fears a ceasefire agreed last year will not hold. already hundreds of thousands have been killed millions have been displaced inside and outside the country and there has been no accountability. serious conflict is entering its 2nd decade with the

majority of its citizens poor and with little hope. we have been forced to give up on our dreams the international community has failed the syrian people there is no reconciliation there is no peace 10 years of war has divided a country and its people sent to. beirut. the fighting in syria has been described as one of the darkest chapters in recent history filled with unspeakable horrors un special envoy peterson was outlining the situation in syria to a security council conference he's condemned the international community for its failure to help and says a countrywide ceasefire is more necessary than ever and it must be supported by foreign powers. all syrians have seen that the international community has been divided trapped in gear or political competition caught in their own competing narrative is an off. on supporting wrong side in the conflict the

rural house lot ceded him in helping the labor of the syrians as one people general has called it a living nightmare diplomatic editor james bays is at the united nations and says the international effort to end the civil war hasn't come of the members of nuri but the point worth making here is that the security council isn't just an observer of the events in syria it's been a key part of the tragedy of the last 10 years one of the reasons that there isn't a different fate currently in syria is because the un security council the ultimate court of the world on international peace and security has been so divided on this issue for example why is there no accountability when you've seen war crimes committed by all sides in syria over the last 10 years while i tell you the reason they've tried to get a resolution through on that and russia and china vetoed it and it's the same on

very many different aspects of the situation in syria the fact the security council is not united means they cannot be an international push to try and end this war and also bring those who are responsible for war crimes to justice i was just speaking to the special envoy he has been pursuing this constitutional committee in geneva which has met now 5 times over almost a year and a half and made absolutely no progress he knowledge to me that there had been little progress but he's giving it one last try but he's saying that there may need to be some new fresh approaches to this sea says there might be a new format for international diplomacy that is needed is something that brings all the key players around the table. 3 primary school teachers have been abducted in the north of nigeria gunmen on motorbikes stormed the school and can do no state will to the budget of the children and missing it's the latest in
