this is a deal give you news live from berlin the european union rolls out its mass vaccination program against covert 19. it's a shot of hope as a huge coordinated effort gets underway to start immunize in society's most vulnerable members also on the program. plastic sheeting and blankets are their only protection against the elements hundreds of migrants have spent a 4th night in freezing conditions in northwestern bosnia aid groups say people could die if they don't get proper shelter so.

i'm exposed her welcome to the program is being called an historic day in the fight against corona virus covert 19 vaccinations have begun in countries across the european union the vaccine is seen as the 1st significant step forward in a crisis that has elevated health workers and scientists to the status of heroes now it's the turn of a new type of hero to roll up their sleeves with europe's most elderly lining up for the max. celebration as spain vaccinate its 1st person against the coronavirus is a moment of hope in one of the country's hardest hit by the pandemic. in italy medical staff were the 1st to give a job their country to ravaged by the 1st wave of the virus.

autocoder one man having been on the frontline since the beginning of the pandemic i have felt with my hands and seen with my eyes how difficult it is to fight this fire. it has been painful to witness the defeats this virus has cost margaret today as an important and decisive day but found that this is. the public prime minister and poppish led the way and he was followed by a world war 2 veteran who took it all in her stride. it pricked a little that was all. of her. while in sweden the 1st was a 91 year old retirement home resident the. supply of a vaccine is limited the demand is huge with most e.u. countries receiving an initial batch of no more than 10000 doses each member state

is prioritizing who gets. supplies are expected in the new year but officials warn of as a long way to go before everyone can be vaccinated. and for more insight on the roll out across europe i am joined from surveilled by didn't your correspondent philip schultz and spain as we heard and as you know full well was one of the worst hit countries in europe is there enough vaccine there to change things fast enough . well from today on spain will receive $350000.00 those every week they will be brought to happen the 10th of the country and then they will be distributed to the different regions it's probably enough for the most vulnerable group the cattle residents and the staff of care homes they have been the hardest hit 10 thousands of residents have died in spain so the government is hopeful that there is enough vaccine for them so that's the majority

of them will be covered in the next 12 weeks and how are people in spain reacting to the vaccination campaign imagine there's some relief but are people so keen to get an ocular did well according to the latest surveys most spend there is a quite optimistic a lot of them think it's the famous light at the end of the tunnel and if you speak to people on the streets they'll say they think it's a good idea that it's a concerted effort in the european union accordingly there was a slight irritation yesterday when news spread that a few places and some countries. including germany started already with the vaccination. of course. agreed to official dates as is today so there was flights retraces but now everybody is looking forward to the program and hopeful

that this will be really the last phase of the pandemic now or i did a few handful of shows in seville thank you for that thank you and in germany a 101 year old woman at a care home in the eastern part of the country was the 1st to get the shot along with other residents and some staff. when he did quite tell it was paul the wilkins in the group especially today 101 years old she made history as the 1st chairman to be vaccinated. well i feel fine a mobile team came to this residential project to senior citizens in her bush that unvaccinated 40 residence and taking care staff the head of the local vaccination center didn't want to waste any time waiting. every day counts once the vaccine has been defrosted it has a limited storage life and the logistics of flexible enough that we can bring things forward by

a day and go out to the cab earlier in the. most parts of germany or starting vaccinating on sunday regional politicians stressed the urgency isn't enough hours in the are seeing rising infections and alarmingly high numbers of fatalities. and yet the vaccine is giving us this glimpse of hope. but if we can hold out a little longer. at 1st we have the chance that more and more people will be vaccinated than we are. the biotech pfizer vaccine is being delivered across germany and the country's health minister held out the hope of more to come. to toronto to win votes right now if the other pack things that look promising are approved by the middle of the year we'll be able to roll out widespread vaccinations and offer one to anyone who wants it so much. by the end of 2021 point 3000000 doses of vaccine will have been distributed in january another 3000000 like

here in berlin vaccination centers are ready and waiting and they are equipped to administer many 1000000 madrassas to members of the public. interest because they need to vaccinated so high in the interest is there i'd rather have as many doses as possible as quickly as possible so that we can get going in. the health minister rejects charges that too little vaccine was ordered at a european level and he was clear about the overall in. the corner of. the corona vaccine season it's free of charge involuntary but our intent is clear we want to vaccinate so many people that the virus no longer stands a chance neither in germany or in europe. first in line is anyone aged 80 or older like here in a. mobile team to be visiting with a vaccine and a serious. hundreds of migrants stranded in northwestern bosnia have spent

a 4th night in freezing temperatures and squalid conditions after the cat that housed them burned down the u.n. and other international aid groups are urgently appealing to the authority is in bosnia herzegovina to provide alternative shelter for the migrants they say people could die if they don't act soon. they were already living in misery then things got worse. freezing temperatures no heat in a big tent and just plastic sheeting for a roof one that threatens to cave in from snow piling up on top some people here say they aren't even being regularly fed. who it is the winter cold and we can't sleep when he. only thing for example no. no food without food we are flipping here with. about 1200 refugees were relocated

because their former camp down a few days ago the fire allegedly set by frustrated occupants located near boston is border with croatia the u.n. camp at least but was scheduled to be closed because bosnian authorities allegedly ignored its appeals to help restore basic services the cold weather for showers and toilets weeks ago. bosnia has become a bottleneck for thousands of migrants hoping to reach western europe those here try to get into the nearest e.u. country croatia though croatian authorities have been loath to allow them entry and usually push back. the people. police beating. us nepalese to give them everything to follow of our life. for now there's still no solution in sight for these migrants who are in dire need of help. and for more insight on this we

are joined by peter van there in the western balkans coordinator of the international organization for migration here thanks for speaking to us we've seen the misery these people are ensuring is anyone doing anything to help them. well what we're seeing really is a political did look we have been asking us why women in other international organizations and also the you for d. both the majority steward in the final 3rd location for the people that you just saw in lipa but also for us to end of $1500.00 people that were already sleeping on site in forest cams and in abandoned buildings and unfortunately despite i think of it for it's not a legal agreement has been reached and today i don't expect any progress either and it's really a political issue because unlike you know urgent durian crisis we actually have sufficient resources to immediately help all the people the only 'd thing that we

need these for the authorities to identify where these people can be properly housed if you're ready to deploy or be denise half an hour. before going. and you know we've seen this in other places like lesbos greece where once again that camp was apparently burnt down by the people living in it in a gesture of desperation. is there is a european union to blame there for than for not taking action should. no i don't believe the fire started after about we had to decided to block the camp because it was unsafe and there were no basic services we've been asking for months from the authorities to go to camp to the energy secret in the water system so that we could winterize it so it could be a location like a state during the winter. and then a few migrants who were disgruntled because they had to leave the toilet without any alternative solutions in the fire to do things but in this particular case that

look believe that city used to play the u.s. been providing all the financial support to proceed if you go to take care of the migrants and or when it's territory let's not forget there are not that many total $8000.00 that should not be a problem for a country of 3500000 to deal with in the european union i think out on everything they can to provide financial resources but we need critical positions where it is money mike and skinny house and problems. and just very briefly is there anything governments in the region or abroad can do to help the camp now what i think what they can do is to put pressure on the poles you know dorothy said where desir help them to come to a consensus among different parties that only one hand for the state government but also a consensus between the central government and the lower level come governments those years ago finance a pretty essential us country so i think that the country needs all the help it can get to come to a political consensus the money's there but we need a political consensus on how to move forward and as you've seen from the images it

is super and i thank you so much for that insight urgent indeed peter vendor our from the western balkans coordinator of the international organization for migration thank you for having. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. voting is underway in a potentially historic election. the vote could produce the west african countries 1st peaceful transfer of power between democratically elected presidents despite a continuing insurgency by jihadist militants and extreme poverty according to the u.n. there is the world's poorest country. 10 people are dead in uren after avalanches hit a mountain range north of the capital tehran rescue teams are searching for a number of people still believed to be missing the avalanches struck 4 different areas in the al gore's mountain range which is popular for hiking and climbing.

a sense of basic trust. they know who means well and who's up to no good. luck so i always had a good feeling in my heart apart from the cold war situation which still permeates guatemala to this day. in guatemala because somehow you don't have the feeling that a real peace has emerged yet there won't. be a scream the 2nd anything if it is. the mayan population continues to be subject to racism under the pretext of fighting communism the military killed thousands of indigenous peoples or turned them into refugees. during the civil war in guatemala we were persecuted by the military because they thought we supported the get a yes. both of. us suspected that we were supporting the military. so we got caught in the crossfire and to save ourselves

we fled to mexico. with me. as a result of peace talks in 1995 the maya families from who we still returned and founded a co-operative at the foot of the 5 ok now. now they must once again search for new land it's a never ending. we take a journey back in time to explore the past of what a model as indigenous peoples. back to the region rubin dario pacquet comes from. he's visiting a co-op operated by the pub my a people in us it was here that the history of coffee production began in guatemala . so you know i'm from the catchy ethnic grown mother love that up around this

coffee business for themselves by forming the co-operative. in 850 guatemala industrialized coffee farming the government souls the indigenous people's community property to rich german immigrants. yeah you are struck don't let that they brought with them the technology and knowledge to improve the coffee production meant little southward and essentially our forefathers were driven off their land and then forced to work for the german will this i will have

mine is it of me is was only my mr nelson germans had their own appoints equal this was more narrow and there what they paid my father and grandfather with the withdrawal of all equal this was more narrow you could only spend these coins and the owners shop there so they were practically the coffee producers layout so it would be that. looking for clues that the cemetery in co van the capital of the department of out of it. until the 2nd world war broke out this area was not actually in german hands. the german set this was to provide the gym an empire with a reliable supply of coffee and deal with the guatemalan government allowed them to
