this is d, w. news live from berlin, hong kong's pro-democracy leader stage a mass resignation to the family. and the lawmakers have walked out after 4 colleagues were sacked under a new law banning legislators marked out as threats to national security. also coming up hopes for an end to the pandemic, gather momentum. 5, some 300000000 doses of a new vaccine developed in germany. and the us, the head of the european commission says it's the most promising results so far.

and donald trump is not going to quietly the u.s. president is pressing ahead with legal challenges to the electoral process. and he still enjoys the support of many senior republicans. plus this woman suffered lifelong injuries in a terror attack on the u.s. embassy in nairobi. 22 years ago. she is among many survivors excluded from a new compensation package. but now she's hoping the incoming tide and ministration full transform for fortune. i'm sorry, kelly, welcome to the program. all of hong kong's pro-democracy lawmakers have resigned in protest after the territory's government disqualified 4 of their colleagues. his family is now the hong kong chief executives.

decision came minutes after the chinese parliament passed a resolution allowing kerry and lamb to expel legislators without having to go through the courts. beijing has recently moved to clamp down on opposition, voices in hong kong by imposing a national security law. after months of anti-government, protests rocked the city. last year, china's foreign ministry spokesperson defended the decision to not tell me where you went. you think you can do this year to feel it is a necessary measure in order to maintain the rule of law in hong kong and the constitutional order of the special autonomous region thought you were killed. where you are. the fight is rational, reasonable, and in line with the constitution and laws. and we are joined now by denis

chua one of the 4 pro-democracy m.p.'s that the hong kong government has expelled from parliament for allegedly violating their oath of office. welcome to the program and thank you so much for joining us. i'd like to just begin by asking you about hong kong's chief executive, which says that you were disqualified for quote, in danger in that security. what's your response? i think ludicrous allegation and i don't think they actually believe it minds, you know, we are just peaceful lol full citizens and also of course we are, we were makers and we were following. ready the basic law and rules procedure we believe and we try for a long time to make one country 2 systems work. unfortunately has not panned out the way we hoped, but to say that we endanger national security. i think that is

a curse. so what signal do you think that beijing is trying to send by eliminating voices like iran? i think the one country 2 systems design all the original spirit of it, if any is now gone. and i'm free to constitutional order. what we supposed to have. also, example the separation of powers that on call is also finish because with this law they issued executive could basically pick off any legislator that she doesn't like this week. it could be next week and could be someone else. so i think the constitutional order that we are rich and we enjoyed and believed that we have is now gone. so what happens now going forward because in the wake of your expulsion, we know that 15 of your pro-democracy colleagues have now also resigned from the legislature. it is now the 1st time that no opposition m.p.

is in the parliament since hong kong's for turn to china, quite historic there. what can you really achieve now going forward if you're not in the legislature any more and have your colleagues just given up? no, i think you know, 1st of all we've been receiving a lot of messages from the hong kong people today from the hotel. also coaches saying that they support the resignation because they believe that we should be lending credits to the idea that we still lucia. and i, we still have an independent list. that's number one. number 2 is, i think a lot of my colleagues will be going back to the grassroots communities. let's not forget that we won 90 percent of the district council seats last year. and i think a lot of my colleagues who are from the districts will go back to the grassroots

and interact with the hong kong people that way. wish in many ways is much closer to the ground, much closer to the whole people. so i think you will be seeing people going back to the communities to work on that level. what does that mean in terms of having an actual impact? because we know, for example, the national security law is really quite restrictive. for example, and make street protests nearly impossible. so how should the pro-democracy movement, how should the opposition camp carry on with your false? i think, you know, it would be an understatement to say that we are going through our very tough period. we are through a very, very tough period and we will see that difficult trying times for hong kong people as a whole. but i think the can still feel the passion and aspiration in the local community in the hearts and minds of the hong kong people. the aspiration for the

rule of law, the freedom that they've been promised. i think that is not going to go away. dennis clark, thank you so much for joining us to share that perspective. as we mentioned, one of the specific party, you're one of the disqualified for members of the hong kong legislative council. we appreciate it. and you feel, well now the european commission has signed a deal to secure 300000000 doses of an experimental covert 19 vaccine developed by germany's by attack. and the us pharmaceutical giant pfizer commission president funded line describes it as the most promising vaccine. so far, the makers say that their drug is more than 90 percent effective. here in germany as elsewhere, there is guarded optimism over the development. when human trials of b n t, $160.00 began earlier this year, no one knew if they would lead to a corona,

virus vaccine. the reports that this substance is in fact highly effective, brought new hope. germany's research minister is cautiously optimistic. has been there for him with an untold i'm very pleased with naturally encouraged by this beginning, and hopefully we will not have any setbacks with vaccines. you're never sure about that. but these positive initial reports give us a lot of hope to lift their health and the german government has put more than 350000000 euros into this research over 40000. people have received doses of the maxine at the same time, the approval procedure has been speeded up. could that mean the drug isn't safe? oughtn't to say that we have not lowered our standards at all. people can be sure if this drug is approved, that will be according to the usual standard. we're used to here in germany. the surveys suggest 2 thirds of germans are ready to be vaccinated. that's enough to

get coded under control, but not everyone is yet convinced it will work. i'll wait and see, but i'm not a risk patient. i should vaccinate those who need it 1st and then i'll get it. if there's any left impishly all will happen to you. of course they've tested it on people who are relatively young and healthy. how will it affect older people? those with health problems? i'm not sure. yeah, sure, i think i would. yeah. but i mean, it can also like grow into something else, so it might not even work. i might trust a vaccine production has already begun in expectation that the new vaccine will get full approval. the european union says it will order up to 300000000 doses. we have many countries back in lockdown measures. there's an urgency to have a means to beat the pain dimmick seem tough. it doesn't seem as though there will be an initial vaccine in the 1st few months of 2021. gives me confidence. it's

encouraging. it's a light at the end of the tunnel and this is least amended astronomer's. for most people, the new vaccine can't come soon enough. and brussels barrow chief alexander phenomena is standing by alexander the e.u. now has a deal. why is the so significant it is significant, of course, because we are talking here about the most promising fix seen so far. a product that was shown to be 90 percent effective, at least based on preliminary tests results. so it was important for the european union to make sure that europe will be getting this vaccine if it's get if it's got approved. of course, how would the vaccine now be distributed? what's the outlook? so the european, the union, the european commission is saying that every e.u. member states will get their hands on the vaccines. at the same time,

there will be distributed on the basis of for the population. but of course there are still so many questions that need to them. and the european commission is calling on the old e.u. member states to sit together and to develop a common strategy, hold to transport big scenes how to store them and how to deploy them and who is going to be vaccinated 1st. ok, so those are the questions on the side of logistics on there's also a lot of questions when it comes to safety. and this vaccine is the e.u. concerned about potential side effects and how does it plan to deal with that? well, the u.s. stressing thing, it's important that this vaccine has to be approved. so we still need to see if it's going to be successful and used. and the u.s. also stressing that it's not thrilling only on those 2 companies. it is now the forest deal sealed by the european commission,

and there are at least 2 more to come. and if everything is successful in the end, the european commission is securing up to nearly $2000000000.00 doses of potential shots for europe, alexander, phenomena, but the view from brussels. thank you. all india is also playing a key role in the race to find a coronavirus vaccine. multiple trials are underway already. the world's biggest producer of vaccines. india is ramping up capacity to turn out no use of doses. as soon as these are approved by regulators. service has always been important enough from donating blood since a young age to pointing treatment the grapes. he was disappointed when he couldn't join the indian army to serve the country. but then another opportunity and his not indian students only brought that came along. he volunteered for the clinical

trials of over acts and a covert vaccine developed in india. people told me it was risky, but for me it was an opportunity to be of service. i'm happy to dedicate my body to my country, my fellow countrymen, that whenever i needed it, i'll be there. i'm just isn't just individuals in india who are trying to play their part to help deal with this. pandemic. 1400 kilometers away to western city of 20 is home to the world's largest vaccine to do so the sediment student and get producers over $1500000000.00 vaccine dollars every year for use in $1000.00 to countries. now it is poised to play a crucial role in the global bid for the coronavirus lackey. already this facility is producing $13000000.00. this is all fuel for a back seat. every month. it is set to stop by in $300000000.00. this is by the end

of the year, we rejigged out capacities problem. we sacrificed a lot of products that we were going to launch in europe us. and that's why we were able to have that much spare capacity available for making these $45.00 different covert vaccines. and only at the low cost of a few $100.00 rupees. duffy fortify your doors. with the help of the gates foundation, the institute is investing to provide vaccines to over 91000000 combine trees at an affordable cost. for other back cvs at different stages of trials are also being produced. none of these have been a food yet. but the company's c.e.o. or other novella is confident that starting production already with the support of the indian government is the day if and when the vaccine is licensed, we have a lot of product, but we can distribute of course, it's

a risk of the product for whatever reason fails of the last minute, which no, let me see, looks very unlikely. now things are looking far better, at least for the oxford astra zeneca vaccine. we do not follow expects emergency approvals for the oxford vaccine to come through early next year back and drop back . not need to still be going in for for their tests next year. that check how well he is doing with the back seat. and he will not be alone by his father was at 1st, voted for the safety of his son. he has now been swayed by love, needs enthusiasm, and one of the spirit who is now of vaccine trial volunteer as well and proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with his son in what he sees as a service to the country and to the world. and let's look now at some other news stories from around the world by iran's prime minister, prince khalifa has died at the age of 84. he led his country for

decades and was one of the world's longest serving prime ministers. his premiership survived the 20 levon arab spring protests that demanded, he be ousted over corruption allegations. myanmar's military backed opposition party has called for a rerun of the country's parliamentary elections. it says that sunday's vote was conducted on fairly the ruling national league for democracy led by unsung suchi has claimed victory over all, citing its own unofficial tally. alexion observers say the vote lacked transparency . the philippines is bracing for its 3rd typhoon in as many weeks 50000 people living and typhoon from coast path have been ordered to leave their homes. much of the eastern philippines is still recovering from typhoon tony. the most powerful typhoon this year that swept across the country last week. european

leaders also had the u.s. on their agenda e.u. council boss sean. the show wants to revitalize the transatlantic alliance. america, and mccrone both spoke to joe biden, for the 1st time in his capacity as u.s., president elect and british prime minister boris johnson, also invited mr. biden to next year's climate summit in glasgow. the incoming u.s. leader wants to repair relationships that were strained under the trumpet ministration. we're all looking forward to being able to from great britain to, to france, to germany, to canada, etc. in our reception and welcome, we've got round the world for more. i want to see more friends has been real and i have a number of other calls to return. so i feel confident that we're going to be able to move from truth america back to the place of respect that

it had before on. meantime, trump is still refusing to accept the election. he insists that it was stolen from him and is pressing ahead with legal challenges. he continues to enjoy the backing of many prominent republicans were system is set up these demonstrators in front of the supreme court don't like it. but nevertheless, donald trump and his party are still in charge, and they're rushing to fulfill a central campaign pledge just before the transition of power. republicans want the supreme court to get rid of obamacare and opening arguments have just begun. trump promised his supporters, he'd roll back one of obama's major achievements. it's just one of the reasons many here voted for him again. and many of the 71000000 americans who voted for trump, believe him when he tweets. we will win and ballot counting, abuse trumps lawyers have presented no credible evidence of election fraud. but

many top republicans still support trump and his legal efforts to challenge the election results. anyone who's running for office can exhaust concerns about accounting in any court. there will be a smooth transition to a 2nd trumpet ministration. right, we're ready, but the world is watching what's taking place that we're going to come all the votes. when the process is complete, will be electors selected. there's a process, the constitution lays it out pretty clearly. the health care system. republican leaders do not want to antagonize trump space, which they urgently need in georgia, where 2 republican senators, face runoffs in january. the republican majority in the senate is on the line. it is time past time for republican leaders to stand up and say, we should accept the results of this election. and i continue to work with colleagues to urge them to do so. they call me to say, you know, congratulations,

please convey my well wishes to the president elect. but i can't say that publicly yet. that might be because despite losing trump managed to mobilize 7000000 more votes than in 2016, that helped his party hold on to their majority in the u.s. senate and their hold on many state legislatures trumpets remains a powerful force in america. every president from was also very young people or throwing around our threats. trump alleges the election results are fraudulent and has taken his case to the u.s. justice department. attorney general william barr is authorized the department to investigate clear and apparently credible allegations of irregularities. the election is over, but it looks like donald trump is still well in control of the government. his vote is and the party kenyan victims of

a horrific bomb attack on the u.s. embassy in nairobi have criticised a new compensation deal more than 200 people were killed and thousands more injured in the al qaeda atrocity in 1998, the u.s. imposed sanctions on down which provided indirect support for terrorists. now that changed last month when sudan agreed to pay over street $100000000.00 in compensation to victims who worked at the embassy. but other survivors, mostly kenyan, will get nothing. reports. esther remembers that day like it just happened on the 7th of august 1998 at 10. 30 in the morning. she heard the 1st blast when i knew that the whole building was coming down. and that is why i think the prayer retreat gone to me because i might get a green, but the 2nd blast,

it's when i was thrown out. and people tell me that i was collected on the pavement . i looked like i had died. so they thought probably i was dead though severely injured. she survived and that they almost a month, a new bombs exploded at u.s. embassies in nairobi, kenya and dar es salaam, tanzania, the blasts killed $224.00 people, and injured about 5000. esther was working at the bank right next to the embassy. she was retired on medical grounds at only 42 years old. nevertheless, she still wanted to work, but was rejected because of medical reasons. i was not the normal woman that would be the woman who used to go to the office and walk or make my family. and if it were not to be raised, i feel so sad that i'm not able to you know, to walk on my property from then on the former supervisor dependent on financial

support from her family regularly. she meets up with other survivors of the attack . michael lost his mother when he was only 2 years old. douglas lost his eyesight. they've also struggled financially. my dad lost his job, so it wasn't. it wasn't enough money for that. so i loved all of us. we still provide for the provide us and even education. at some point, mine is always a problem. then they heard of the new deal brokered by the u.s. and the sudanese government sudan has agreed to pay $335000000.00 of compensation to the victims of the attacks. in return, the us removed the country from its list of state sponsors of terrorism. sudan was listed because it holds that al qaeda leader, osama bin laden as a guest of the government. but with the deal only for my us and local embassy

employees are to receive compensation. that's only one percent of the people who were killed or injured. it says dr. le city, we feel the american government that we africans are little beings than americans. but we feel we are just equal human beings like america. and we'd be treated just as much as the american citizens now, 22 years later, and still in pain and needs medication to be able to sleep. if she would receive compensation, she says she would be able to pay the looming school fees so that her sons can finally graduate. i feel frustrated, discriminated, hated, because i don't see the difference between an american. in that case, esther's biggest hope now is that the new u.s. president elect joe biden will reconsider the compensation plan and include all to

buy of us. a quick look at now at some stories making headlines this hour. russia is sending 2000 peacekeepers to the disputed territory of no corner to enforce a cease fire between azerbaijan and armenia. at least a 1000 people have been killed since the longstanding conflict between the former soviet republics flared up again in september. police in australia have broken up a global online child exploitation network. the investigation has resulted in more than a dozen arrests in australia and the us. the alleged offenses include producing or sharing child abuse material, victims range in age from 16 months to 15 years old. peru, speaker of congress, manuel mehdi, you know, has been sworn in as the interim president of the country a day after his predecessor was ousted by congress over corruption allegations. the,

speed of x. leader martine v., scotus dismissal, has raised concerns over proves democracy. the us masters golf tournament starts on thursday after it was postponed from april because of the coronavirus players are already practicing and spain's john ramey hit an amazing shot. he deliberately skimmed the ball over the water and then a limited number of onlookers with paying spectators banned from the masters of the pen. demick watched as he did this with the ball to the south. a truly remarkable hole in one which even came on his birthday, possibly one of the greatest golf shots ever played. and the perfect warm up for the biggest tournament in sport. that for have a quick reminder of our top stories, all of hong kong's opposition lawmakers have resigned in protest of the dismissal

of 4 colleagues. they were sacked shortly after beijing imposed in new blog. disqualifying politicians seemed to be a threat to national security up next we go to africa, joins beekeepers in the one that you're watching deja vu news. i'm sarah kelly in berlin. thank you so much for joining us.

for this mission. building houses before the businessman in south africa who wants to change and commerce and decide for the better. i'm a consumer, a place quite robust. that's a horrible and environmentally friendly bring me out of the cycle. goes for go on, t.w.

was the 1st international tribunal in history. the nurnberg, trials, 75 years ago, high ranking officers of the nazi regime of mortgages by the allied forces were the 1st war criminals to be held accountable for their crimes. and those around them on getting rid of 10 years of frazier, our 2 part series, the 3rd reich, the dog starts nov 12th on d, w. d, a. deceased and this journalism for human rights and the environment. insertion of the global media for the cause of 19 pandemic. the violence against environmental

defenders has increased in latin america. a nation of journalists is raising awareness for these attacks. but can journalism have an impact beyond creating visibility? showing good discussion. hi . you know, it's possible to clean the ocean with the big breaks out of rubble. we're going to tell you more about these and other interesting stories over the next or thereabout . welcome to the who africa. you know, your own state nigeria, and i am sandra 3. nobody here in kampala, uganda, it is good to have you with us for yet another exciting episode of vironment

a show. we focus on africa. here are some of the topics that will be looking at today. how rhonda, trying to revive a decline in the eighty's before we also see how a sharing economy sconce resources can finally, how young activists in ghana fight imply a healthier ecosystem. but foster to run the baby population there has been shrinking. and manami great, there as it has been in europe, the main culprits are chemical pesticides and intensive farming practices, but biggest contributor to biodiversity. they are great pollinators. so beekeepers in rwanda coping, how can they talk of the problems? we went to meet some of them to find out

his bees are dying and he can't do anything about it. and same cut, gabo is destroying which over the past 8 years, more than half of his 70 colonies have perished. but if we knew all the bees that come back from the farms, in fact the others are going to be hived off. that's why they got you both in the traditional and the modern beehives, the mother somewhat because it is up for you. the number declines gradually going until there were no. but you still live inside me because i get a lesson. and santa gabo has been raising bees for more than 20 years. he uses traditional bee hives to collect wild ones. then he transfers them to small, modern beehives on his palm. the bees go in search of food in the fields around his village in northeastern rwanda. families here and across the country are using more

and more pesticides on their crops. these potential plans are no exception. at the same time, the populations are collapsing, farmers are aware that these things are connected to go on. a large number of bees die when the irish, which a double answer and bloom whenever blaze land on the flowers after we've sprayed them. we see them dry. pesticides are toxic and kill many forms of life that are not the intended target. when they feast on, i b keep has suffered, the economic consequences are the 1st we would like the government to support farmers to get chemicals that are not toxic. that way they can continue farming without causing us to lose our bees. designed you can see period. but a shift to organic farming is still a long way off here. biological pesticides are really used in part because they're

expensive. the government is considering raising the tax on chemical pesticides and lowering the tax on organic ones that would be good for the environment. farmers and beekeepers. here in the meantime, the government office training courses for beekeeping is one topic. how to breed healthy and more productive, be colonies. we want to develop this which this is the best it's resign the production, the production and the products that won't solve the problem of pesticides, but at least became this can learn how to breed queen bees. and that's new colonies, the beekeeper cooperative co-op. izzy has been taking part in the training program for over a year. instructors come and visit regularly. every egg from

a queen bee has to be taken out of the honeycomb and were placed in a new beehive. so that it then the bees have to feed the eggs after 2 or 3 weeks, the new breed hatches we're glad we're getting this training. now we can be sure the air is going to be more be colonies because we can look forward to having more be harnessed, and that will guarantee increased honey production. for the co-operative has already managed to make up a large part of its losses of tomorrow. since this new technique was introduced, it is our business. we had lost a large number of colonies. we only had 120 beehives left out of

a total of 400 disagreeing. but since then we've managed to add $200.00 hives. that's a great success story over a short period of time. going to this training program has been running since 2015 and at no cost to be cute is the government once every beekeeper in the country to take the courses, thanks to the program, honey production has been rising again. and so has the price of honey up $5.00 fold in recent years to about 6 heroes, a kilo in part because the bee population has shrunk. despite all the advances, the honey still contains some toxins. but other changes like making chemical pesticides more expensive and biological ones cheaper could help create better honey, while keeping the bees and life. it sounds weird, but it is true. you can help the environment by cutting your hair. hair is obsolescent headdress that came up with the idea of using it

in the sea. let us see how it works. pat, a stylist in southeastern france, cuts off $29.00 kilos of it every year. but instead of just throwing it out, ground collects every look to help fight oil pollution in the world's oceans. and also there is life or feel like it had sores, hydrocarbons. that is to say, hydrocarbon stick to the outside. that's why you can wash them off. they don't get inside the air come founded. the project is used or fat headdress, as beauticians from across france and in hecla pings formally unemployed people and school dropouts. stuff the head into nylon stockings to make pillows which will

then be used to absorb fats and oils. from water glass cells, the pillows to fisherman and harbor operators. he pays his helpers with the proceeds. some of the pillows are now in use in a pilot project in the harbor of more than 1000 boats adopt here. in the long run will try to use it around the port since the rain runoff. water falls in the port and it washes out the soil picking up hydrocarbons. so the idea is to go around the whole port under the boats and the refueling station, and above all, to convince other ports that they will it be one kilo of hakon absorb 7, leaches of oil, the head pillows approach to a special company for washing. and can be reused up to 10 times, but some sound visitors might be happy to spill it, issues ahead for it,

get colas. then how about you? if you're also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, forbes, and does a tweet. after doing your bit, sharing your story you can find informal settlements in most cities. living conditions are often really tough. in south africa, came up with a great idea to make things better. indeed, they built homes out of bricks made from recycled rubble. the houses are safer and more sustainable than the usual metal shocks. people were pretty skeptical at 1st, but tenants are now moving into the houses he's built. we went to so let's find out more about this. the township of soweto lies just south of

johannesburg. formerly a home to mine is the region now has around 4000000 residents. no one knows the exact number most live in corrugated sheet metal shocks. and that's just what young entrepreneur london wants to change. he wants to have lots of brick houses, built 50000 homes and needed in the johannesburg metropolitan area. lot of people who are coming back for work opportunities. so most of them to prefer to live in the thousands because it's cheaper to live there when you're ready to move from where i used to go to work. so this creates an opportunity for homeowners to actually create a coalition for those people where there are plenty such as in a formal manner or the many south africans could never afford to buy a home of their own. so they rent shacks in other people's backyards,

all crammed together side by side. one little oval is a self-taught brick layer, while building and out building in the backyard of his parents' home. he got an idea to replace corrugated metal shacks with brick houses. his customers, other people who own the land, they pay for the building in monthly installments, using the rent they receive from the tenants, while the tenants themselves get to live in a better home. plus the whole thing is more environmentally friendly. as the houses are made of special bricks, like almost like their books. so because usually you have a different breed and caused by up to 10 percent. with this brick, you're only according to rupert

lan, lead an overall makes his bricks out of construction waste. so he doesn't need to use sand. that also means the bricks don't have to be fired in a kiln, which saves on energy. because the building blocks are interlocking, the pressure of their own weight is sufficient to make the wall strong, unstable. it's an unusual way to build, but it's less of a burden on the environment than traditional masonry. comes to people because it's now more convincing than this man was also interested and happy to learn more so than the c.b.s. is among the 1st tenants to move into one of the brick houses. the 35 year old car

mechanic has been living in a backyard for 6 years until recently in a metal shock. but not anymore. now he has a proper home. he used to pay about $35.00 euros a month. now he pays 40. he thinks it's worth it. actually, people say actually building rubble is a major environmental problem. in the impoverished districts of johannesburg, many companies just dump their waste in the townships to avoid pain disposal fees. c.b.s. knows this all too well. every day, dozens of trucks come to her neighborhood to illegally dump building waste for more prosperous areas. this bothered her

a lot until it inspired her to become an entrepreneur. now she's founded a startup. that process is waste. so because a lot of people do it ways to move a ways in but then we take responsibility with the waste and the we have been the waste. we composted, we also send it, distribute it to organization that make you service organizations like plan little house building company to startups plan to work together to know who could use the plentiful building rubble for his environmentally friendly bricks. now the 2 are working on ways to crush the waste and transported to the construction sites. they hope to get started soon. here are all sorts of so we can replace all this

and also training them to move into another one of all that is the stuff of the future right now. each building is a major financial risk for london is a low level and his startup, he's only been able to complete 3 homes with environmentally friendly products. so far, 3 more are under construction, but he's been inundated with requests for more. sharing is caring more and more people across you are warming to the idea of the sharing economy is a good way to help each other to use consumption and waste and benefit b. environment. i despise the restrictions on social interaction because of the night in print, everything sharing is catching on perhaps because people really want to show solidarity and be kind in this difficult.
