the 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. and you know. not all teachers say they are on board with the vaccination scheme i either but it's a warning we are 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 it 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 skis 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 moscow correspondent emily sure when i only get to see you so journalists of the navasky who we just saw in the report you

actually work with him in moscow do you know what is 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 fever 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 doubts the job 40 days after that he should get antibodies so he's hoping for that phase 3 trials such as the ones that sygate under way and 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 elaine we understand that the clinic where you are standing is a place where people are going to be back summated 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 moscow is the 1st place where the vaccine is being rolled out and russia that roll out 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. teachers doctors and social workers will be 1st in line to get the vaccine apparently people can sign up 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. russia is the 4th most infected country but despite that in the 2nd wave of the corona virus we haven't seen very strict lockdown measures here including in moscow which has been the most

affected by this virus restaurants you 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 emily sherman reporting from moscow thank you. let's have a look now at some other developments in the corona virus pandemic the world health organization has warned that the vaccines on the horizon should not lead to complacency and says the virus is still spreading fast and that masks and other measures will be needed for the foreseeable future portugal has extended its state of emergency by 2 weeks much of the country is currently under lockdown to curb the

spread of the virus and the u.s. centers for disease control is for the 1st time recommending the universal use of face masks outside the home because viral transmission is now at such a high level in the country. let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making news around the world. a u.s. federal judge has fully restored the obama era integration program known as daca program provides work permits to some young undocumented immigrants and shields them from deportation it's the 2nd time that a u.s. court has overruled the trumpet ministrations moves to cancel the scheme. e.u. chief negotiator michel barnier and his u.k. counter forest say they've been an evil to reach agreement on several key issues after a week of intense talks on a post braise a trade deal from minister boris johnson an european commission president or so funder lyon will discuss the state of play by phone later in the day. peru's

congress has repealed a farming law that triggered days of roadblocks and other protests by striking workers demonstrators welcomed the vote and began lifting blockades that have disrupted traffic on the pan-american highway some 2000 trucks and buses were affected. at least 14 people have been killed in a bus crash in the brazilian state of meaning. more than 2 dozen others were injured in a bus was traveling east of the state capital of belo horizonte when it fell more than 15 metres from a highway overpass. keeps. some news from space now and japanese 2 spacecraft has successfully released a capsule carrying rare asteroid dust that's expected to land at a remote base in australia in a matter of hours japanese space agency officials cheered as the capsule detached

from the spacecraft and began its descent into earth you're right it contains a rock and soil fragments from the distant asteroid. scientists hope that the material will provide clues on the origins of life capsules around trade journey has taken 16 years. all right let's bring in still vicar of bonnie from d.w. science department for more on this story hello to you still vicar so the capsule launched by the japanese spacecraft is making its way back to earth as we speak what more can you tell us about the samples of carrying. well that basically rocks and dust from this asteroid row who grew apparently it's they've got a life take a sort of going so it's 167000 kilometers from as we speak so another couple of hours to go the reason we're interested in rocks and dust from these far this them bodies is because they have pristine they kind of untouched and they tell us about

the formation of outside of a system and because we won solar system that tells us a lot about us as well and how we might progress because the kind of serene you know different stages of their progression of their life cycles that can tell us how where we're actually going. high to something so fired up a project going into way into the asteroid to create a crater to get rock from people under the suffix and that's also important because the stuff that lies on the surface is going to be one kind of material basically very simple terms and below the subs will be even more were untouched and instead of that was all minerals are down there and so that's why we're really interested in that sort of stuff also going into the future as we look into sort of human spaceflight and resources from space that could either help us on our or in space ok so this is just part of a mission that was launched 6 years ago celtic are what was the main goal of this japanese space mission and where does it go next. well that's a very interesting question i forgot to mention just now mascot which is another

sort of that you know it's an international mission that's not just japanese mascot was a german french mission so they took pictures as well and that was sort of for it further sort of international collaboration that's one of the objectives of these sorts of missions all the time however what is it about really it's about proving that you can get to a distant body and return back number one because we talk more about you space right building bases on our moon or on mars and one of the things that we had some people out essentially is as much as the pioneering spirit is concerned is if you go to mars you know coming back and people are really desperate to prove that they can go there and come back so you've got china on the moon right now doing one of these so-called sample return mission is to bring. stuff back rocks and samples back to earth as well the americans and the europeans have gotten a mission to mars and the japanese themselves they're doing 2024 of got a similar sample return mission to the moons of mars so it's about telling people that you can go to these places from about and come back and of course we're going

to build bases on the moon or on mars how we got to survive so we need to know what minerals are there and whether we can find water whether we can build habitats and that sort of thing so that's what it's really that's where it's really going about it's about more than just learning about the so this is the main site where can we actually live somewhere else in the soda system that's what i think it's really about to be frank at the deadliest bonnie thank you. in sports news football world governing body fine has approved maternity leave for women players if you have made the announcement at a virtual news conference on friday female players are now entitled to 14 weeks of maternity leave on their return prompts are obliged to reintegrate the players and provide adequate medical support before hopes the changes will offer stability and help boost the women's game. if only to remember that the players are the protagonists of the game doing most important part of the game and we have to make

sure that we set the stage for game. 2 showing when it comes to female players. this means. we should bring. more stability to dave careers. in the german bundesliga hared to berlin took complete advantage of winning on berlin who saw their lead disappeared due to a red card then had to ask a few on text all the show when you're in berlin open the scoring in the 1st half but a few minutes later when we owned were left with only 10 men to defend robert andres was sent off for this high foot challenge can't tell level but score after the break polar striker chased off contact played the hero the super some scored 2 goals within minutes to lead mass of berlin to a 31 victory over their city rival. organizers of the tokyo olympic games have announced that the postponement of the event will

cost an additional $2300000000.00 euros due to the pandemic the games were rescheduled and will begin in july of next year the i.o.c. previously said they will contribute over $500000000.00 euros to postpone costs meanwhile tickets can be refunded but so far less than a 5th of the holders have chosen to do so. that's the latest on d.w. news at this hour american i haven't seen it from the me. and the entire team in berlin thanks for watching. us of why you do need to keep at bay you got to the people over for over the french and home the 4th and. the most recent article about. the bottom of the valley that the last dragons in this word has called the whole 3 years and. 3 books on.

this from the get go to. kill god knows probably why. i come from a family the pop star wants to become president. and he's got this elite. credible story of bobby why. starts december 10th the d.w. . online hate speech is a powerful thing sometimes all it takes is one tweet or post by a user and suddenly they're hit by tons of insults and threats but is hate speech so dangerous that it should be censored or is freedom of expression more important hate speech versus free speech our topic today i'm saying.

according to facebook only one in a 1000 posts were white contains hate speech the targets are often individuals like homosexuals muslims or women who get hundreds of hate replies per day to something they've posted but online hate speech can also target entire ethnic groups and it can escalate tensions and incite real violence says the u.n. special adviser on the prevention of genocide the must stop this stark. ways with more action and length which no one would forget that the whole look costs was preceded it. by hate speech crimes and hate speech continues to escalate tensions and animosity between groups here are 2 recent examples. in march. an open smear campaign on social media against for him for muslims a deadly crackdown by me

a mars army sent over 700000 ranger fleeing the country. conflicts with the muslim minority has flared up time and again for centuries. it's it's been mars population gained access to the internet in 2014 targeted misinformation about the region was disseminated. serves sudan. here hate speech and social media has found the flames of civil war and further divided the country 64 tribes. the platforms are used to spread propaganda targeting particular groups. in south sudan online attacks have also often been followed by physical assaults. what about is hate speech is only online some say that this is so hurtful that it should be forbidden

others call that censorship they argue that we should be free to say exactly what we think so where is the line between 8 speech and free speech the answer to that largely depends on the country you live in. not even legal experts admits to separate free speech and makes it clear and by the way this renowned american civil liberties activist the dean struck. speech refers to motion which is very subjective and. you're more. than that has been the body. and being in here aren't we they and subject to the discretion who ever has power to enforce at. the top of that definitions are very indifferent parts of the world denial of the holocaust for example is illegal in 18 european countries but

even here freedom of speech is on pelt as a value worth protecting kitty and stross it disserves self the daughter of a holocaust survivor nonetheless she says censorship isn't the right tool to his against hate speech. that well i'm and as in censorship it is it ends up doing more harm than good and that is simply true with respect to all cost denial or any other kind of disinformation or misinformation in fact any kind of censorship the natural human reaction is that more attention is drawn to the very message that one is seeking to suppress. the former chairwoman of the american civil liberties union or a.c.l.u. is convinced that honest discussions are the only way to overcome distance between

opposing sides counter speech is a very important factor and by that i mean any use of your freedom of speech ours to persuade. or do anything you can to advance the cause of the messages are equality and inclusive and diversity and dignity and to rebut the counter messages. there are limits. when individuals are directly attacked except the 10 constitutes a criminal offense such as libel or threat of bodily harm is. it's no longer protected it's freedom of speech. tech companies have started taking more actions against negative content on their platforms nowadays because laws in europe have been tightened but there are still plenty of hate speech on social media because that kind of content. money. speech is controversial it's highly

emotive and edge attracts clicks critics maintain that companies like facebook and you tube are well aware of this and actively promote the spread of posts containing extreme content facebook's algorithm for instance long favored potentially controversial. because they get more views and the 2 people spending more time on the platform which increasingly. this was because they pursued growth in a way that was reckless. to promote content in a way this is ational stuff would get more exposure if you take extreme measures to get rid of all hate speech then you're going to slow down the growth. facebook projects these assertions the company says it has 35000 employees deleting hate speech posts. in the 1st quarter of 2020 facebook took down

over 9 and a half 1000000 inflammatory posts a new record according to laws in europe companies are only obliged to take down hate speech after it has been reported but in close groups content is only visible to members so it's unlikely hate speech there will get reported because posts are being seen by like minded audiences this is true for chat groups and also for online gaming communities where hostility can be expressed in a different way. to the world's largest p.c. games platform is not wishing to find. players who could be to shooter games they've developed selves to bus or home. sexual or jews other. far right chats groups have links to close to hate speech groups on telegraph these have clear rules that every must follow a sketch of well known committed finance offline to become a member that's what i wanted to get i had i wanted to prove myself to say i'm

here you notice me because that's why i beat someone up i told the leader and even sent him a picture of this happy and i took that photo to prove i belonged to the group. that this is my family and i had to anything for them but it is only found. these days kevin no longer hangs out and right wing chat groups in germany the majority of hate messages online about 3 quarters comes from right wingers about my percent are by left wing extremists and 14 percent cannot be definitely assigned to any political orientation according to germany's federal criminal police what i find especially interesting is that about half of all like for hate comments come from a really small number of users only about 5 percent experts have long known that hate speech campaigns are often well prepared and carefully timed only someone who's been targeted by such a complaint can know how devastating it can be someone like stephanie palmer from

is there in germany in 2015 she launched an initiative to help refugees in her hometown. in 2015 a sentiment in fright told was turning against for a few g.'s sticky proctor thought that an organization to promote openness and tolerance she was suitable boarded with messages to see if you should be brave too and get out of town we have the baseball bats ready to go. things like that. come down that was just the beginning for milk dogs was also blown up and people call her at night. my guess is if you caught this. it felt like it was coming closer and closer when i come home and he would immediately lock the door behind me and then i would press check every room holding pepper spray in my hand. almost bordered on paranoia. but i think at moments like that being afraid can be good to

a certain extent because it makes you cautious and alert and. the hostility she experienced has left its works. very days when the verbal attacks just roll off me i can stand there and say oh come on you can kiss my butt well let's get to it and there are days when it really hurts when all at once i fall silent and take a step backwards and. that's horrible and a lot of people have had similar experiences there are going is a chance that specialize in dealing with hate speech and digital assaults to help those who have become targets of hate campaigns want to hate aid in berlin the 1st thing hate and hate employees try to do is to stabilize hate speech victims emotional axed the scum hostile content for posts that could carry legal consequences. not all of those attacks wish to file charges this also has financial reasons and. a if you've been libeled or threatened for a post and you go to

a lawyer who says all right we'll take it to court you're facing at least 2000 euros and costs and if you lose you have to pay the other side's legal fees that's another 2000 euro smites or. advice is people free of charge. if someone can't pay the court fees the organization offers legal aid. it also provides practical online security culture. these are a huge problem online right now our attempts to get people's private data by their home addresses our children's schools. we help them comb the internet before the haters do. and hide that sensitive data. a good 500 people have contacted the organisation over the past 2 years 65 percent were female when women or girls are attacked online traps often have sexual connotations many attackers remain unknown

shielded by the anonymity of the internet. recognizes that it's important for people to be able to be anonymous online. but if someone violates the law she thinks their identity shouldn't be protected. by the huge problem we have in germany and in almost all european countries is that acts are committed on line which courts rule are punishable by websites or don't hand over the culprits data so basically they're protecting the guilty ones. there we have to say clearly this has to change. eventually mage court rules that an offense has been committed then websites have to be compelled to cooperate. i'm grateful to say i've never been targeted by hates each have you how do you defend yourself against abuse and hate speech on the internet let us know on facebook or you tube i answer yes or.
