us a sense of how bad the cover situation is on the ground there well because of corona there's no access to the memorial but you probably do see the flags on the german parliament flying at half staff behind me it is it is a difficult situation germany is in the middle of a 3rd wave and there's been warnings throughout the weeks that it could be its worst yet and you have this memorial now taking place that we are expecting a minute of silence in. into the victims we are expecting president steinmeyer to speak as well and to highlight particularly things like how lonely a death it is when it comes to the coronavirus and also for the relatives left behind often not being able to say farewell not being able to to bury them so this is a reminder at a time when the political bickering here goes on when it comes to exactly how best to deal with it how best to knock down the 60 different states will in charge of

their own health policies is something that chancellor i'm going to merkel has been fighting for what has been getting a lot of resistance so she's also been reminding politicians in parliament on friday that they've done it before they did it during the 1st wave and why are they not doing it again and missed warning that if there isn't a proper lockdown across this country that the numbers will continue to rise so. stephanie what is the latest in terms of the vaccination drive in germany because it's been very stop stop there hasn't. it has on of the main reasons for that is a delay from what we're told of the delivery of vaccines also the complications when it comes to astra zeneca and johnson and johnson and the concerns with blood clots even though it has been decided to keep with astra zeneca that the the benefits far outweigh the small amount of side effects of the report of these blood

clots but it still doesn't really help the confidence of the public one thing that has worked is that recently g.p.'s local doctors have started to vaccinate their own patients that seen a massive increase it was very much lower of the mark but because of these complications because europe has unified policy when it comes to buying the vaccinations there's an irony here that germany is the one who produces the biotech the pfizer biotech vaccine seen as one of the best ones out there and they're not really benefiting from that even though they're the ones producing it because of this communal buying policy and of course delays because of the production issues because of the concerns of side effects so certainly they're not able at the moment to vaccinate their population at speed of keeping up with this 3rd wave many thanks vance tufnell deck of efforts live in. the czech republic is briefing nato and e.u. allies about suspected russian involvement in a huge explosion and its link 2 men charge 1st separate poisoning attack in the

u.k. 3 years ago the ammunition blasts killed 2 people in 2014 with russian intelligence now implicated the czech republic is expelling 18 russian embassy staff czech police say 2 men who were there before the blast had russian passports in the names of alexander petroff and. of those were the aliases used by the pad accused of poisoning the former russian spy. and his daughter yulia back in the united kingdom in 2018 well russia has denied any involvement in either incident we'll have reaction from the u.k. in a moment but 1st bennett smith in moscow. this is the biggest dispute between the czech republic and russia since the end of the communist era in 1989 the czech prime minister says the circumstances are unprecedented and scandalous it goes back to an

explosion of the nomination store in 2014 about 330 kilometers to the south of prague in which 2 people were killed and the czech government says that these 2 men travelling on the names of alexander touch of and russian ambassador off bashir off were in the area of this explosion 6 days running up to it and including on the day of the explosion it says they are members of the russian security services and it wants to speak to them it's very unlikely to get the opportunity to speak to them russia does not extradite citizens who are charged with crimes on foreign soil the 1st deputy head of the upper house here in russia of its international affairs committee says progs claims are absurd and russia's response should be proportionate i mean fox news agency says the czech republic has apparently decided to close its embassy in moscow and i guess that's because with the czech republic kicking out 18 russian diplomats ordinarily the response from russia is likely to

be the same and so if russia kicks out 18 czech diplomats it will probably leave the mission here in moscow with just a skeleton staff. let's go to horry challenge his live in london for us a warre the poisoning of the russian spies take a square in in salzburg in the u.k. at the time was a huge story i wonder if the u.k. has any reaction to what has been announced today. yeah the u.k. has said that it stands fully behind its czech allies in the exposing of what the u.k. is calling the year the line behavior of g r u agents in the czech republic now the g.r.u. is of russian military intelligence and the u.k. believes the u.s. believes many western intelligence agencies believe the g.r.u. and particularly units of the g.r.u.

units 29155 is behind the poisoning of the script. the poisoning of an arms dealer in bold garia a destabilizing campaign in. montenegro the attempted coup in montenegro. various other things besides including now this explosion in the czech republic in 2040 the 2 agents that the u.k. believes were responsible for the poisoning of the script files that they traveled under the names of bashir of petrol of all the ones that czech government now believes were responsible for these partly responsible for the explosion in 2014 so a web of activity spanning the best part of a decade that many western agencies many western governments now think is pinpointed to the specific units of russian military intelligence where we were was

the case of sergei script all left back in 28 saying i wonder where this will go now after these developments. well legally it's still happening because the agents came in and left and went back to russia so they are still in russia and the u.k. has not been able to get them in front of a u.k. jury or judge that is likely because burnet was saying there with regards to the czech republic it's not likely to happen because they're never likely to leave russia or again diplomatically it will be very interesting to see whether the czech republic can marshal the same kind of coordinated response to this the u.k. was able to do in 2018 following this the poisoning of the square palls the u.k.

government did a lot of outreach to other governments around the world and at least $28.00 countries expels russian diplomats from embassies in their capitals by the time that russia had responded with expulsions of its own in excess of $304.00 c. diplomats a base of the pats up their bags and headed back to their countries of origin. what we will have to look for now is whether the czech republic can do a similar kind of thing and whether western governments are receptive to that kind of lobbying from the czech republic whether they want to put that kind of punishment on russia of course the context to all of this is the military buildup that's going on of the moments on the borders if ukraine and the new u.s. sanctions so that the direction of travel is obvious the relations between russia and the west
