this is deja vu news live from berlin the german government buys a stake in a coronavirus vaccine company the investment injects 300000000 euros into cure back it is the same company the u.s. government reportedly tried to acquire back in march we'll explore the business and politics of the race to develop a covert 1000 back scene. also coming up mexico struggles with a surge of virus cases were on the front lines of the 1st responder in mexico city . greece is one of several european countries to reopen to visitors back with many

restrictions still in place will enough tourists come to give the country's economy a much needed boost. and as a reporter is $86.00 and i've worked in so many countries around the world i've been shot at and threatened but never this kind of death by a 1000 parts of the philippine journalist mario breslau is convicted of cyber libel press freedom advocates say her case is meant to intimidate critics of president. i'm going to have you with us the german government plans to take a 23 percent stake in the private biotech company which is working on a 1000 vaccine that stake will cost 300000000 euros based in germany and is about to begin. clinical trials for a coronavirus vaccine later this month here's

a closer look at a company that's attracting both scientific and political interest. q. evacuees one of the big hopes when it comes to developing a vaccine against the coronavirus it's method is particularly promising now the german government has taken a 20 percent stake in the company giving it a 300000000 euros boost. this investment is a way of providing chovanec with security so that it can continue to work with commitment towards producing a vaccine. cure back hit the headlines this year when the us government allegedly attempted to entice the company over to america monday's move is therefore also about sending a clear message about the government's industrial policy. we want high tech businesses companies which serve people to continue to develop

their products in germany and europe and we want to ensure such companies have the conditions they need here. is such a company. in june will see the 1st clinical trials with healthy volunteers there are more than $120.00 vaccine projects currently underway worldwide and no one knows when and if a vaccine will be found. shall see dani from good of you business is looking into the story for us i shall say why is the german government making this investment well there are a couple different reasons why germany wants to do this the 1st is that there's really a global race right now to find a vaccine and we've seen just the devastating public health and also economic damage this has done and what it what we know is that this will not go away this fear will not go away and to. well there is really a vaccine in place so there is

a lot of pressure from from the economics and from the public health side to find a vaccine but it also does really fit with germany's new strategy that it's sort of put in place since the corona virus outbreak started to really make sure that it's investing in its own homegrown and just say that this will really ensure that they have a strong biotech and strong pharmaceutical pipeline because in the past a lot of a lot of german company a lot of german pharmaceuticals were coming from asia and this really started a lot of fears about sort of relying on other countries so it does fit with this broader strategy as well and vaccines vaccine development has become pretty political hasn't it certainly has this really as the piece mentioned became a really hot political issue in march whenever the u.s. allegedly made a. bid for this german company that worked with that is now getting that german investment this really created a lot of concerns because there's an idea that what the u.s.

is trying to do was really secure this vaccine for itself and there is clearly going to be a divergence between the countries that have the money to pay millions of euros billions of years to secure these vaccines and the countries that won't so this would really sort of strengthen these divides between the richer countries countries that can make big deals for vaccines and the poor countries that can't so this did sort of create this question of who really should be getting the vaccines and how democratic that process can be the european union did create what it's called an inclusive alliance to try and broaden the efforts to get these vaccines out but it also does come with this backdrop of just increasing tensions between the u.s. and europe and china and all of these countries over nationalism and protectionism so in addition to really trying to secure national pharmaceutical companies we're also seeing a lot of countries including germany including the u.s. taking a lot of effort to. to secure companies like google of tang's and really enacting

more barriers to foreign investment to try and make sure that these companies that have lost so much value don't get scooped up by foreign investors so it's just generally part of this broader backlash to globalization an emphasis on national policy just very quickly how close this curve back actually to developing a vaccine that's ready for market well karabakh says it hopes to get this vaccine out by the end of the year we don't know if that's actually going to going to happen most vaccines do fail the reason why karabakh is really getting a lot of attention is they've had pretty successful rates and animals they're just starting human trials now and they have been beat the market by a lot of other companies so we don't really know yet but it could be in the coming months shall see delaney for us thank you very much. mexico reported more than $4000.00 new coronavirus infections on sunday along with nearly $270.00 fatalities that brings its total confirmed cases to more than 146008

death toll of $17000.00 but even the government says the real number of infections is probably significantly higher with all of one 1st responder and the challenges he faces in mexico city. he's. he can hardly breathe. he had this 38 degree fever he hasn't been able to stand for 3 days we're taking him to his i don't know the tough day for the red cross in mexico. it's one of too many. but getting the patient to the hospital wouldn't happen to your friend or their employer i'm sure they take him away he may never come back. but diego leaves the man with a heavy heart. is set up a world of service to family ties are strong in mexico they prefer for someone to die with their loved ones even if they could be saved in a hospital op or some other committee the but also. the pandemic has likely

been at its peak here for nobody knows for sure there's little virus testing it's most of it was but it's just stressing not knowing how many are really infected so we white know when this is going to end and i heard about. another case of large families crammed in a small space our relatives are afraid of catching the virus. that diego explains that the man has pneumonia. if you do since hospitals are overcrowded diego can only take critical patients. if performance this one is stable. but fountains of mexicans are losing the battle the crime a turia working at full capacity well it if they have minutes to say goodbye.

showily hasn't taken a break for leaks. in mexico mortality rates are above average. i get caught up i've never had to deal with so many dead people before it's risky i'm scared because i have family. what in rages charlie is that many mexicans deny the coronavirus exists. at all so much been some of why don't people switch. their brains if this keeps going on like this i don't know when it will end but one as mexico battles the virus charlie and diego are each playing their part but they're worried for the futures of their fellow citizens and their teens. many european countries are reopening their borders after 3 months of coronavirus lockdowns including grace which has welcomed its 1st international flights to athens of tesla

despite the end of a lockdown we feel incredibly lucky to be able to visit the island with so few of the tourists around. the reopening of european buddhist is the best news hotel and restauranteurs here have heard in months. greece's reliant on to resume euros huge revenues have been lost but if numbers recover briskly there's a chance the see is european so much truism season might just be rescued in the nick of time. let's get a roundup of some other stories now chinese authorities have stepped up checks of food markets in a bid to control a fresh coronavirus outbreak that's after 79 cases were linked to a single market in the capital beijing several neighborhoods have been placed back under lockdown and indoor sports and entertainment venues across beijing have been ordered to close and a groundbreaking decision the u.s. supreme court has ruled that workers cannot be fired for being gay or transgender

linking a businessman to human trafficking and drug smuggling. ressa once worked for c.n.n. and holds dual u.s. philippine citizenship she says she's been devastated by the verdict which she sees as a part of a government campaign against her and her publication. next year will be my 35th year as a journalist i began as a reporter in the 6 and i have worked in so many countries around the world. been shot at and threatened but never this kind of death by a 1000 cuts the case was closely watched as a test of press freedom under populist president. the court heard the libel complaint even though the article in question was published 4 months before the cybercrime law was enacted russia and rappler are not the only prominent philippine media to face problems with the authorities last month one of the country's leading

broadcasters was shut down rights groups when the country is entering dangerous territory it is indeed a very. this country. sends a message every journalist. who wants. or you're going to be next russet now faces a prison term of up to 6 years in spite of the verdict she vows not to be silenced . press us now on bail pending her appeal we spoke to earlier and asked her about her reaction to the guilty verdict it was an unexpected if you look at it in the context of the 8 criminal charges i face i had to post bail 8 times last year just to remain free. and then the slew of attacks against your lists in that has intensified with the shutdown of the largest broadcaster just last month. i suppose i walked in feeling and knowing that there could be

a worse case scenario that would is even worse than this one and so when i listen to it i just i tried hard not to get angry and then to figure out how do we continue doing our jobs better to give the. this is a unique moment in history and we're seeing a rise of authoritarian populist style leaders of actions will almost and you're seeing the attacks on it i don't think i've lived and then this is my 34th year i'm going to be a i'm an old journalist you know and and i've never seen anything like this i've worked in war zones i covered conflicts but this is is a different time period and i feel like in my country at least we're standing on the precipice and we must do all we had to protect press freedom which protects our democracy from our coverage and to watch the full interview with maria ressa visit

our website com. now u.k. prime minister boris johnson has held a video talks with e.u. commission president was a laugh underline as they try to breathe new life into stalled brags that trade deal negotiations 4 previous rounds of talks between the u.k. and the e.u. commission have failed to produce an agreement but johnson is hoping his input can advance discussions on the issue. of. massa standing by for us in london following the story had very good expectations were pretty low going into this meeting what came out of these talks. well yes they were low to start with though many people had argued in the u.k. that now it's time to move up a notch so that discussions on the technical level as they have been taking place in the last weeks that that wouldn't be enough and that now it needs a new push and it needs really the leaders to come to some sort of political agreement however from the statement the joint statement that we have seen so far

it's not been a dramatic change say the leaders agreed that there should be more impetus and that they should try to reach an agreement. to put more more fire basically into the talks but not really an agreement so on the big sort of stumbling blocks it doesn't sound like they have has been much conclusion at all it certainly is very high level this is the 1st time that the prime minister of course johnson has personally taken part in these talks do you think that he can inject some new momentum some fresh air into this process. well that's definitely what he's been trying and he has come out he was quoted by a british media as he said we want to put some fire in the tank and for his conservative supporters there's always this belief that boys johnson is this charismatic and a jet a persona and that once he basically sprinkles the fairy dust over the negotiations that things just might take a different town however from the u.k.

has really succumbed to the magic so far as who we have seen old say so in quotes from e.u. leaders where they said well that's nice that he's you know driving these talks but we don't want to deal at any cost say the e.u. as well is is not going to give in to anything that the prime minister wants the big stumbling blocks of course that the e.u. wants to protect the single market and the u.k. wants to be free and wants to you know try and get the best out of these talks and at the same time be able to do their free trade deals with other nations just a few days ago the u.k. said it would not request an extension to the transition period is a really enough time to get a deal done. well this is the u.k. position and this is what the u.k. government has maintained throughout and they've made it more clear in the last days they've really rich it's a right and that there is no way that the u.k.

would agree to to extend the talks and this is because they believe that if there is no agreement basically in the next weeks or maybe even the next months and there is no there is no point really and extending and he found that because they believe that they want to create the momentum and from their point of view they would like to get a deal done but they keep saying we we want this deal but we also happy to walk away so it's also a negotiating strategy that they want to keep the pressure on the e.u. and they want to say we are happy also to walk away even though of course the u.k. as a not has a lot to lose and the economic the economic damage would be huge if there was just trading on w t o rules did every speck of mass thank you. now the private space technology company space x. is steadily expanding its network of satellites known as star link the satellite

system will eventually provide space based internet connectivity around the world on saturday the company launched a rocket from florida's cape canaveral carrying almost 16 of its star linked satellites into orbit the company now has over 500 such internet satellites in orbit and eventually the have 12000 circling the planet. of a growing number of satellites in orbit is wearing some astronomers who say they are cluttering the skies and interrupting our ability to research stars and asteroids reporter and avid a star gazer joel doll rory is with us hi jill 1st of all tell us about a startling what is it and what does it look like. is both amazing and terrifying to see some of our viewers modest seeing these styling so-called constellations moving across the night sky recently as a result of the recent launch their most visible at dusk and dawn they're actually quite hard to photograph as most celestial objects are but we do have some footage

that we can show you now that has been taken now i've actually seen these so-called trains of lights going across the sky with my own eyes when i was on holiday last year in the amazon jungle i looked up at the sky and i saw these just amazing sight of just what's moving across the sky in a train and i didn't know what i was looking at and many people around me also didn't see that they were all pointing up at the sky wondering what was going on well it turns out we were witnessing one of the early batches all of these star the satellites going up and the company space x. is now put over $540.00 in all but it's planning $12000.00 in total and they're going to provide as you said a constant web of connectivity of internet connectivity all over the planet when they've finally get in action what's the problem with more satellites then well i guess most people say they would probably like to have foster internet connectivity everywhere but the problem is that it's coming at us. cost because these satellites interrupting astronomical observations they are leaving little streaks across the photographs that astronomers take when they look at deep space and i spoke to one

professor professor patrick sites and he's been researching the impact of stolley on astronomy he says that the science is in trouble but potentially so we as a human species we can have a listen now to why are we at a turning point 1st your enemy yes we are this is potentially an excess then chill threat. to ground based astronomy the problem of near earth objects the killer asteroids they are the surveys that go for them are wide field and they go ready low on the horizon and they work a lot at sunset and sunrise that's where the most sensitive to finding killer asteroids that might impact the earth so they're they're doing a lot of short exposures but they're trying to cover as much sky as possible and never the satellite impacts will be very severe typically the way new planets are

found is that you monitor a star for a long time and you look for depths in the. in the like her and those depths can be quite short so if a child like right goes across the star at the moment you're expecting it if you're in trouble. so the satellites could be interrupting our ability to discover new planets and killer asteroid is now that sounds like something we should all be worried about it definitely is so how is space x. responding to this criticism so the company has been quite responsive to astronomers concerns and they say that they have actually modified the latest batch of satellites to put in the air they've made them or put new shades on them and they've painted them in a way so that they're less visible to the human eye but they can still interrupt those telescopic observations and so they could still hamper the ability for us to discover things and to view the skies the astronomy is a strong as i've been speaking to say that it's not too late for us to act that we should now be coming together to create a new global agreement about who should be allowed how satellites in the sky how

many there should be and what should happen afterwards but we're really at a turning point and i think that one day we're going to be telling our children that we lived in the priest ali era. all right our reporter joel dollar a with us thank you so much for sharing that story. to some football news now in sunday's at lake bundesliga game leverkusen were looking for a win against to stake their claim to the 4th and final champions league spot and they managed to do so but not before a fight from shaka. came into this one desperate for a change of fortunes off to a 12 game win list streak in the bundesliga but later hughes and i hardly any easy opponent to face especially with star man have a back in the starting line up the guests were held in check until the 40 minute. home from a free kick. school state level as the linesman broke to show his wrist. in
