this is deja vu news live from berlin and the german government buys a stake in a coronavirus vaccine company the investment injects 300000000 euros and to cure a fact it is the same company the u.s. government reportedly tried to acquire back in march will explore the business and politics of the race to develop a cult with 19 vaccine also coming out down as a reporter in 10086 and i have worked in so many countries around the world i've been shot at and threatened but never this kind of death by a 1000 cuts then filipino american journalist maria ressa is convicted of cyber libel press freedom advocates say her case is meant to intimidate critics of

president agreed to territory. mexico struggles with the surgeon coronavirus cases are on the front line of a 1st responder in mexico city. and greece is one of several european countries to reopen to visitors but with many restrictions still in place will enough tourists come to give the country's economy a much needed boost. i'm submissiveness kind of glad you could join us the german government plans to take a 23 percent stake in the private biotech company cure back which is working on a covert 1000 vaccine have at stake will cost $300000000.00 euro's back is based in germany and is about to begin clinical trials for a coronavirus vaccine later this month here's a closer look at the company that's attracting both scientific and political interests. to a vacuum. one of the big hopes when it comes to developing

a vaccine against the corona virus its method is particularly promising now the german government has taken a 20 percent stake in the company giving it a 300000000 euro 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 of ak 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 to hear. 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. any 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 couple of 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 until there is really a vaccine in place so there is a lot of pressure from from beneath nomics and from the public health side to find a vaccine but it also doesn't really fit with germany's new strategy that it's sort of put in place since the credit iris. outbreak started to really make sure that

it's investing in its own homegrown and just trees so they say that this will really ensure that they 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 there's really started a lot of fears about sort of relying on other countries so it does fit with this broader strategy as well 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 the german investment this really created a lot of concerns because there's an idea that 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 in 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 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. secure companies like live tons and really in acting 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 the. 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 will cure max as 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 have 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 dylan for us thank you very much let's catch i found some other stories from around the world in a groundbreaking decision the us supreme court has ruled that workers cannot be fired for being gay or transgender waffly half the country was previously protected by state laws now the supreme court says that the language of the 1964 civil rights act that bars gender discrimination also applies to sexual orientation and gender identity. a russian court has sentenced former u.s. marine paul wieland to 16 years in prison after finding him guilty of espionage he

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 1986 and i have worked in so many countries around the world. that threaten but never this kind of death by a 1000 cuts the case was closely watched as a test of press freedom under populist president would require. 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 the largest. of the journals. or you're going to be next russia now faces a prison term of up to 6 years in spite of the verdict she vows not to be sentenced . first get some perspective on the story with christiane me at the executive director of reporters without borders germany christiane thank you for joining us we heard there in that report that sentiment that this verdict means the government to sending a message to every journalist in the philippines to essentially quiet down or they will be next do you agree. yeah unfortunately i would be happy to disagree but i agree 100 percent we see actually today's ruling as a kind of pre in a remark of the statements he personally targets targets

reprimand and maria ressa and yet i see it's what it shows it's that we have a letter of independence of judiciary beyond maria ressa and ressa and rappler here have you been able to identify a pattern of an erosion of press freedoms in the philippines. unfortunately as a filipino just dropped in or with prince william in next and just recently for example 80 s c e n which is a major city broadcaster lost its franchise and as well saw the president himself very often credited from the us actually identified journalists as enemies and he could actually marry r.s.a. as his personal enemy and that's when we can understand today's ruling as it grueling actually which has been ordered by the president to check out how worried are you chris and about the state of press freedom right now in the philippines we

are very the only scene which gives hope to me honestly speaking up people like marianne ressa and hopefully easy international outcry we are now looking for i'm disappointed by government for reactions today by international government reactions we could marry our reza is the one who is actually a face for press freedom into video peaks you said you're disappointed by government reactions what do you think you need to hear from the international community from governments here in europe for example to to put pressure on the government the philippines to ensure that a press freedom is protected. i mean what we need outcry because mary are a wrestler is not some somebody she's a face of independent journalism. and i think all the elements of european governments should now be outspoken in the sense of such a sentence should is not acceptable and that this sentence has to be lifted

immediately because maria ressa did only job and this is general is. executive director of reporters without borders germany thanks so much for joining us safe though and for more coverage of this story and an in-depth interview with maria ressa visit our web site w dot com. now to the u.s. where the county medical examiner in the city of atlanta has ruled that the death of an african-american math at the hands of police was homicide or a shard brock's died of blood loss and organ damage from 2 gunshot wounds inflicted by officers they could face charges as early as wednesday brooks deficit barked more outrage in a country already reeling after the police killing of george floyd and minneapolis . the charred remains of this fast food restaurant is the scene of the latest incident fueling nationwide
