this is deja vu news live from berlin russia rolls out its would think vaccine against ovid 19 of the mass campaign in moscow 2000000 doses are available for high risk groups funded with concerns about how fast the vaccine was approved will muscovites be lining up to get the jam also coming up. as well in opposition leader won why do calls for a boycott of sunday's elections claiming their brig leaving the door wide open for a big win for president nicolas maduro his party.

omarion evanston it's good to have you with us moscow kicks off a large scale vaccination campaign today with the russian made sputnik a vaccine against cove in 19 the country says has produced around 2000000 doses to date and will distribute the vaccine free of charge doctors teachers and social workers are among those 1st in line to receive the job the rollout is going ahead even though clinical trials have not yet been completed. surrogates have turned off skew took the leap after seeing friends with covert 19 a journalistic russian service says you did a lot of research into the vaccine before signing up for trials it's just for this a better shot i decided for myself that at the very least the vaccine. in

a safe and in the best case it will be effective if they give me the vaccine rather than the placebo. before they vaccinated me they told me it was safe but they gave me a life insurance policy anyway in case of death my relatives will receive the equivalent of around 22000 euros in compensation but in the people in case have become disabled they'll get up to 17000 euros but i doubt that will happen. around 40000 people have already taken part in trials 1st but one of the 2 russian vaccines trials for both are ongoing but the vaccines are already registered and being rolled out across russia doctors and teachers are 1st in line to receive the jab which authorities have emphasized will be free and voluntary but there have already been media reports of people being put under pressure by their employers to sign up was. the union of medical workers is being put under

pressure to agree to getting vaccinations but we have also seen mass refusals and even resignations of course that isn't improving our health care system. not all teachers say they are on board with the vaccination scheme i either. but it's on the bottom warning we're supposed to sign saying we will carry the risk so if i got vaccinated i would be risking my health without any guarantees that the vaccine won't have a negative effect on my body and that's why i would like to have the choice whether i want to get vaccinated or not. and russia isn't just rolling out sputnik b. to its own population it has already delivered samples of the vaccine to serbia hungary and venezuela and it also has production deals with several countries including india and china experts say the goal is to show that russia as a scientific superpower. vaccination can be compared with

a space race the main thing is to stake a claim on being 1st the 1st country who produced a vaccine and the 1st to start vaccinating people we won't find out what effect the vaccine had until a year or 2 from now or which one was the most successful this one the british one or the american one. but sergei said enough skin is hoping for more than politics after getting the 1st of 2 jabs he had a fever but quickly felt fine now he's hoping the russian vaccine will keep him safe from the coronavirus along with thousands of others getting the job across the country. well for more we're joined now by d.w. is moscow correspondent emily sure when emily good to see you so the journalists of the navasky who we just saw in the report you actually work with him in moscow do you know how he's doing after getting vaccinated. he's feeling absolutely fine he's been going to work in recent days as well he said that he got a slight fever

a few were in the evening of the job and that continued the next day but then his temperature went down and he started feeling totally fine he has one more job ahead in a few weeks and apparently he's been told that after the 1st job 40 days after that he should get antibodies so he's hoping for that phase 3 trials such as the ones that sygate underwent are actually continuing on both of the vaccines that russia has already registered and is now rolling out in clinics like this one on me now and we understand that the clinic where you are standing is a place where people are going to be back soon mated to day can you tell us a bit more about how exactly the vaccine is being rolled out there. things are pretty quiet here at this clinic which is so far at least which is one

of 70 points across moscow where the vaccine is rolling out reviewing rolled out starting today a moscow is the 1st place where the vaccine is being rolled out in russia that rollout will be continuing apparently over the next week across russia that is at least what president vladimir putin announced in an order of last week. the teachers doctors and social workers will be 1st in line to get the vaccine apparently people can sign off on a government website and yesterday we heard news that thousands of people 5000 people had already signed up for the job today here in ma. wow russia is the 4th most infected country but despite that in the 2nd wave of the coronavirus we haven't seen very strict lockdown measures here including in moscow which has been the most affected by this virus restaurants here have to close from 11 pm they can stay open there is no lockdown for people to stay home people are being

encouraged to work from home however and the government and the authorities have repeated that the situation is under control and that they don't want to lock the country down perhaps because of this vaccine that they're rolling out now all right d.w. emily sherman reporting from moscow thank you. well in european ski resorts were linked to the early spread of code 19 across the continent especially the socialising off the slopes the industry faces a difficult winter as governments introduced tough pandemic measures aimed specifically at the ski sector in austria quarantine rules and closed hotels mean that most foreign tourists will be an able to travel to ski resorts many in the austrian province of to hong were hoping the slopes would stay open to tourists despite the coronavirus kind demick but even there austria rejected calls from

across europe to close its slopes completely the government there has now effectively closed it for foreign tourists. you know what in before the holiday period we will start with a very strict immigration program this means that anyone entering austria will have to spend 10 days in quarantine with the possibility of cutting it short of 5 days by testing negative them on the list of risk areas austria's biggest neighbor germany this means the ski regions will likely miss out on millions of euros in tourism revenue it's a grim end to a year that was going well for the industry all things considered. good this summer was comparatively good there was also a fair bit of business at the bits and that's also why it's all the more incomprehensible that such tough measures are being applied to tourism considering

that all summer long there were no verifiable infections in the ski lifts. austria's government says the measures are necessary to prevent returning nationals or tourists from bringing the virus into the country adding the rate of infection remains far too high and. it seems like a tough season ahead for the region of where most of the revenue comes from holiday makers. let's get a check now some of the other stories making news this hour. a u.s. federal judge has fully restored to the obama era immigration program known as. the program provides work permits to young undocumented immigrants and shield them from deportation it's the 2nd time that a u.s. court has overruled the trumpet ministrations moves to cancel the scheme. even chief negotiator michel barnier and his new k. counterparts have agreed to all those negotiations on the proposed break the trade

conditions there's no right to elect and be elected no independent arbitrator no possibility of free participation by political parties. but his call for a referendum has split an already weakened opposition. but not participating in these elections is not only suicide but also an irresponsible attitude to the suffering of the venezuelan people. there is nothing to decide because all the competitors were chosen by the regime. so who are you going to elaborate. venezuela has been in political crisis since the disputed election in 2018 that son nicolas maduro win by a wide margin most of the international community including the us and the european union said the election was not free or fair they took quite a dose side as assembly speaker he was next in line to be president under the venezuelan constitution
