1:01 pm
a new investigation showing russian agents trained in chemical weapons followed kremlin critic alexina folly for years leading up to his poisoning with a nerve agent this. time sarah kelly welcome to the program a covert 19 vaccine could be approved by a european regulators on the 23rd of december opening up the way for inoculations to start before the end of the year pressure has been growing on european regulators to fast track approval for the buy on tech pfizer vaccine that is already being used in the u.s. and the u.k. well now germany's health minister said in an immunization campaign could be rolled out here much sooner than expected and it's we lost him. so i took it it gets
1:02 pm
approved and let me repeat it is still being assessed and the assessment can always produce fresh information otherwise you would need to do it. so if it gets approved by the 21st of december then to get it with the producer we will try and allow for delivery to the federal states and the federal states can then deliver it to their vaccination centers so i am expecting vaccinations to start 2 months to 4 days later at the latest. start. and for more let's bring in political correspondent brian times how is the preparation process going for a vaccination in the country while in fact the infrastructure for the vaccination is in place vaccination centers have been built up all over germany in sports stadia in sports holes in holes from trade fairs and that sort of
1:03 pm
thing everything is being concentrated on these centers so that the infrastructure can be guaranteed because there's vaccine obviously has to be very very strongly cooled it has to be stored at temperatures of minus 70 degrees centigrade all of that can only be assured in such central. vaccination centers they have now been established that have been they've had their test runs and they are able to start pretty much immediately as soon as the vaccine is available whenever that is as the minister said and that could be before christmas or just after christmas we don't know for sure at the moment what more do we learn today from the press conference. well this was a press conference that basically was cold on the eve of the locked on being imposed as this is the last day today before the logged on and there was a very very intense appeal from the health minister from the head of the german institute for infection control the robot cough institute as well as from
1:04 pm
a virus which is and professor who is in charge of ethical rules on who and when is going to be vaccinated 1st all of this all of these experts had an intense appeal to the public that they should not stick to these rules that they should stick to this locked on the issue of not trying to avoid the rules rather they should be even stricter than the rules have are calling for in other words the situation of the infection control experts said is very dire in germany it hasn't been a series as ever since the beginning of the pandemic so it was a very intense appeal for people actually to stick to these rules in fact what people have been doing today is rushing to the shops because it is the last day of shopping possible before christmas so they're not actually following that appeal today but the hope is that from tomorrow they will bronze with the view from berlin thank you let's get more on this story we are joined by alina books she is
1:05 pm
chairwoman of the german ethics council in berlin welcome to the program and thank you for joining us so as we've heard from the health minister the vaccinating process could start soon what goes to the ethical dilemmas because of course there's a limited quantity that can be rolled out who gets it 1st. that's exactly the issue many people wanted as quickly as possible but there isn't enough at least in the beginning so that's why we need clear and transparent priorities and jointly together with the bodies that are in charge of issuing recommendations for vaccination in germany and the national academy of sciences the german ethics council laid out these ethical principles and we suggested that 3 groups get highest priority 1st those with the biggest risks for death or very strong reactions to the virus 2nd those that put themselves at increased risk such as
1:06 pm
people working with patients people working in the health care system and then people that have very important functions and also a subject themselves to increased risk so these are broadly speaking the priorities it sounds so straightforward but i mean talk with us about what it means in practice how big is the risk you know a few weeks a few days after the vaccination starts that there's sort of you know a tree arch situation going on in backs and hitchens enters in other words for some it's a question of life and death and and who's making the decisions how should they be making them. the decisions lie with the federal states in the end but there will not be a tree arguing situation in the sentence because people will be invited so there will be lists developed based on these priorities currently the fine tuning off the priorities so who exactly are the people for example within the health care system
1:07 pm
workers who have the highest risks because the risks are different different there of course so this is being fine tuned as we speak and then based on these fine tuned priorities which we are expecting today or tomorrow and once of course vaccines will be available. there will be invitations issued in addition to that there will be more bio teams going for examples to people in care homes who have the very highest risks of all and it will also be possible that health care workers can be vaccinated in their own institutions how will you prevents the the situation for example you know a doctor choosing to vaccinate somebody perhaps who isn't a priority on the list and that's not going to turn possible face charges that's not going to be possible because it is really at least in the beginning while we have this priority we will have a centrally organized vaccination campaign so doctors will not receive the vaccine
1:08 pm
the vaccine is being kept under key and lock and it's very highly protected and it will only be delivered to these vaccination centers and to them all bio vaccine teams and to the institutions that are allowed to vaccinate and they will have all of those will have to be will have to keep strictly with the priorities thank you so much for walking us through that process are really interesting to learn about it alina box chairwoman of the german ethics council in berlin we appreciate it. thank you. meanwhile the united states has marked a major milestone in the fight against the coronavirus the. entre has started administering the 1st doses of the buy on tech pfizer vaccine doctors nurses and other vulnerable groups are 1st in line for that shot with the u.s. death toll now surpassing 300000 new orleans are hoping that today will mark a turning point in the fight against the pandemic. a moment of hope in the
1:09 pm
u.s. most of all for frontline medical workers who were honored with receiving the 1st coronavirus vaccinations in the country this is the beginning of the end for cove it together as a community as a nation we can and this the 1st recipients seemed eager to convince others that the vaccine was safe it's very important that when the vaccine comes that we took confidence in the science it is ok to say we were doing well elsewhere in an effort to show government confidence in the shot acting defense secretary christopher miller also took his job on camera. that's it oh i thought i heard all. advisory panels in the u.s. and the u.k. have determined that the benefits of the shot fine outweigh the risks yet one in 3 people in the u.s. say they won't take it sorry i'm not interested i will never take it out of my dead
1:10 pm
body i don't play god even for with those i don't know want so. no a lot of people. logistics pose another challenge because the country is so big and the concoction so fragile the bio intake finds a vaccine has to be kept at a chilling minus 70 degrees celsius a deep temperature requiring massive amounts of dry ice. despite all this u.s. officials are preparing for the largest vaccination campaign in the country's history along with front line workers the elderly are also 1st in line to get an ocular rated as coronavirus cases climb sharply u.s. authorities have set a goal of vaccinating every willing american by midway through next year. and let's look at some other developments in the pandemic the drug maker moderna

1:12 pm
formally catholic it's both for the winner of our state's popular vote close of our biden and vice presidential running mate california's own harris across the u.s. state elections confirms the popular vote formalizing joe biden's victory in the november elections the president elect has the democratic process in america politicians don't take power people grant power to them the flame of democracy was lit in this nation a long time ago and we now know nothing not even a pandemic or an abuse of power can extinguish that flame. the president trump has refused to acknowledge defeat citing baseless claims of election fraud he's launched a string of lawsuits to overturn results in battleground states courts have rejected
1:13 pm
every one but last week the supreme court dismissed a lawsuit and invalidating results in full states that biden had won. it's a position so large 3 we've never seen before a position that refused to respect the will of the people refuse respect the rule of law and refuse to honor our constitution. thankfully a unanimous supreme court i'm really in completely rejected this effort. trump's brazen accusations have stoked anger among his supporters leading to threats of violence to politicians and election officials in states such as michigan alexis had to cost their votes amid tight security. most republican lawmakers have so far but trump's flailing attempts to overturn the election those are looking even less viable after the electoral college confirmed by didn't win but trump loyalists could mount one last desperate attempt when congress confirms

wipe out every trace of their identity correspondence mathias bollinger and you leon have this exclusive report. scenes of a family outing with 0 always harm her husband to some john and their little daughter by are in turkey a safe location for naught. but for good 0 a normal life is still far away she says she does not feel safe anywhere. dumb on the cold i still wake up from nightmares in which i see myself in a chinese internment camp again. the images and memories of the interrogations of the beatings and the things they did to him and their haunt me i then feel sick for a few days and i can't sleep i argue with my family i even think about hurting myself. in 20170 hour han was arrested in sindh junk china's westernmost region she is an ethnic aza born in china and was living
1:17 pm
in kazakhstan at the time on a trip back to china she was detained by police and then held for a year in several reeducation camps. although they tortured us they had cameras everywhere you were not allowed to pass scratch your head or cry if they saw that they would force you want to a metal chair they would make you sit there for 12 hours 24 hours you were tied to the chair and if you tried to move it would get tighter then they make you repeat chinese words that you didn't know if you forgotten they used on electroshock device on your head back and cause i stand her family did not know where she was at the same time authorities in china suddenly started to detain large numbers of the region's muslim minorities i traveled to the region to see for myself middle school number 4 of which i counted was one of the camps she had been to in 2018 a high wall was built around the school and shacks were built in the courtyard
1:18 pm
today the school is back to what it was china has defended the facilities as location a training centers and declared that by 2019 all trainees had graduated but 0 has also told us that many of our former inmates would later transfer to regular prison on the outskirts of 2 more officers. there are now 5 policemen following. a prison with watchtowers and another camp where both built in 2017 when the campaign against ethnic minorities took off all staff there after. 91 down if you film here we will have to take measures against you in this place is a state secret rooms and. we 0 was told she was detained because she had been to kazakhstan that was seen as a sign of being disloyal to china more and more service and now calling what is happening in the region could genocide after reports of forced birth controls the
1:19 pm
realisation and. in the camp was 0 because the inmates were administered injections of women known substance. the local after the injection some women stopped having their periods those who still had it were given one pad they had to use it for 2 or 3 days if their period would come it would come if not not we stopped being ashamed about it at some point we didn't stop thinking of home most of us had stopped crying by then i mean. who 0 is one of the lucky ones she was finally allowed to leave after her husband had complained for her and cars are still she has no news from her relatives in the region. and joining me now is mathias bollinger who you heard from in that report in fact mathias you've just returned from the region what were your impressions.
1:20 pm
it's very difficult to work in that region you are trailed all the time by playing call of police in some cities they would just follow you at a distance and interfere as we have seen also in this report when you approach a site that they don't want to see you in other places they will really follow you like it very closely like standing right next to you watching your phone all the time preventing you from even filming innocent scenes on the street so it's very difficult when you talk to somebody they will also talk to these people i thought one point i man on the streets on the filming and he waved at me and showed a chinese flag and said that he was a patriot and asked me inside his shop a small restaurant and when i left this shop the police immediately went in and asked him what he has been telling me so very much signs that the message is being controlled also the movement is being controlled we saw a family in your piece who is now in turkey how unusual is that for people to be
1:21 pm
able to leave. there are about 12000000 ethnic minorities muslim ethnic minorities in the region mostly we goes and kazakhstan very few of them have been able to leave the region especially in the past 3 years since the campaign started their passports have been confiscated and there are about a few dozen people who have been to the camps who are now abroad very few of them talk to western media because they have relatives abroad and they fear that their relatives might and your repercussions if they talk to the media. is so most of those who have been able to leave the country are people like good 0 who had family in kazakhstan and whose family had can pay for her. meantime
1:22 pm
we've heard the international criminal court will not take up the case over the treatment of weakness because china is not a signatory. but the pressure is growing on beijing how is it affecting policy in the country it's very hard to say how it's affecting policy it is affecting let's say public relations work of beijing in the beginning they denied that the county existed at all then they called them vocational training centers they have also closed some o c d securitized others so they look more like schools like what they are saying they are but it's very hard to. conclude from that or we cannot conclude from doubt that the or pression against minorities is over we still hear a lot of reports about repression we see why why some of the camps have been closed we see prisons have been expanded mathias bolinger reporting from china thank you
