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 have there but it is on the 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
2:04 pm
including india and china experts say the goal is to show that russia has a scientific superpower the vaccination can be compared with the space race the main thing is to stake a claim on being 1st the 1st country of 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. earlier i talked to mohamed mir who's a viral infection and vaccine expert at lancaster university in the u.k. i asked him how unusual it is that a vaccine still in phase 3 clinical trials is being rolled out for mass vaccination
2:05 pm
having a deploy a vaccine at that scale a 100000 or even more than that people don't have in fact that i conduct is there a continuous moving forward test because vaccines are required to get us and that's one of the reason that we took a doctor long time to come up with a vaccine that we can all trust so the vaccine that is not the best you tested which certainly be concerning moving forward because it's not just the russia itself that would be setting an example for other countries which if it haunts the vaccine has a tendency on board for more efforts to have a high coverage because let me make it a concern it's not just having the vaccine concern it that all we can eat and hope of widely we can deploy it because until we don't immunized 75 percent of the people they are fact of the vaccine would be significantly lower which we don't really want to see that's mohamed near from lancaster university many many thanks dr european ski resorts were linked to the early spread of covert 19

across the continent especially the socialising off the slopes the industry faces a difficult winter as governments introduced tough pandemic measures aimed at the ski sector in austria quarantine rules and close hotels mean most foreign tourists will be unable to travel to ski resorts. many in the austrian province of to roll were hoping the ski slopes would stay open to tourists despite the coronavirus pandemic but even though austria rejected calls from across europe to close its resorts completely the government has not restricted foreign tourists from visiting if you haven't been 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 is austria's biggest neighbor germany this means the ski regions will likely miss out on millions of euros in
2:07 pm
tourism revenue it's a grim end to a year that was going well for the industry all things considered. this summer was comparatively good that 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 they would know there are 5 full 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 where the rate of infection remains worryingly high it's likely to be a tough season ahead for the region have to roll which usually arms most of its income from holiday make is. that highlight some of the other stories making news at this hour. at least 18 people have died after

2:10 pm
control the winds on earth so we anticipate the capsule will fall somewhere in this large red oval area on the diagram a little. japanese and australian space agency officials are waiting on the ground ready for the search and retrieval mission. scientists believe the asteroid fragments collected on the distant asteroid when you go to contain a gannett matter that hasn't changed since the solar system was formed they are hopeful that these rock and soil samples will help shed light on the origins of life but high a blue said to use work is not done yet it is already headed for another far flung asteroid on a new mission that is expected to last a decade. let's bring in bonnie from d.w. science department for more on this. capsule is making its way back to earth even
2:11 pm
as we speak what more can you tell us about the samples it's carrying. i got to say 1st of all what's amazing is it's hurtling towards earth that about 30000 kilometers per year every 2 hours this is an incredible feat where the thing about asteroids really you go asteroids you know they stay living in the so-called asteroid belt which is between mars and jupiter so this soon as i say mars i think a lot of people start thinking about human space travel going to live on mars in that sort of thing so essentially what we're trying to do is find out what the rocks and other bodies the planets around that area the moves around that area what and made of asteroids are made of rocks and metals so we think immediately of resources which is very important but also by investigating whether it's an asteroid missed sense or comments as it was with t.v. the european mission on rosetta is we are discovering about the origins of life where this is because these are pristine bodies you know the very untouched by any kinds of life as a human life that is we hope to find other things like water resources particular
2:12 pm
as we look forward to watch human space by and they could tell us how we made progress because it's one solar system and all these different bodies would progressions different ports and they're sort of cycles of life and so we can learn about everything basically where we go that's big that's big stuff that the hybrids used to mission was launched 6 years ago as you know what was the main goal of the mission and where does it go next. well i think as with all these missions it's international collaboration you know there's a german french instrument on board it was a mascot you know to the pages not sort of thing but really speaking what this is about is proving that the space community can go soon a comet says sorry in the sense an asteroid a comment a world moon and actually come back pick something up and come back because then you know think about spaceflight and schumann space and light and this hasn't been done since the sixty's and seventy's you know bringing stuff back the thing that we have the southbound going to mars is if you go there you never coming back and you know that's the one thing that freaks people out so what we're trying to do is
2:13 pm
prove that we can go there so we've got an american you know we got the chinese actually on the moon doing the same thing with the so-called sample return mission right now as we speak the americans the europeans are trying to do that with mars as well to bring some pulls back from mars in the next few years to the japanese themselves they're trying to go to folks one of miles is moons to bring some pulls back and of course the americans will say just send ahead a cult that you took them on so we're just trying to find out how do you perhaps out these objects and can use it like pick stuff up and come back to work which is actually what we want to do and also we want to find out what's out there the minerals can we build bases on the moon is there enough stuff out there for us to live and perhaps use in space or bring back to earth so we just try to learn about all sorts of things and basically by the life i mean that's really the big picture for me i get even more excited just listening you talk about it you still there are bonnie thank you so much really appreciate it. and sports news now football's world governing body fifa has approved maternity leave for women players
