240000 people in germany have been vaccinated so we're talking about something like 30000 a day that sounds like a large figure but obviously it's a drop in and in the ocean for a population of 18000000 the main problem has been the supply of vaccine only one vaccine has so far been approved by the european authorities that is the one from a buy on target that is being used at the moment and there is a shortage of those that scene across the world so also here in europe and in germany not as much of this vaccine as a arriving on the ground as should be possible and that's the major criticism of the government that it has not done enough to ensure supplies ensure sufficient supplies for these vaccinations because obviously there's a run for this. vaccine all over the world so how is the government responding to this criticism the german government has emphasized that it has been following
11:13 am
a strategy of coordinating his policy with the european union it's not been doing anything alone as germany as some opposition parties here in germany have been asking for have been pushing for it saying that there should not be a competition within the european union between various countries germany should not be in the. in the position of being accused of using strong arm tactics because it's the strongest country in the region also the german government is saying a 2nd vaccine is likely to be approved this month this week and a further one maybe in another couple of weeks by by the end of january in other words there will be no question about the supply of vaccine then it will really come down to a logistics of applying this axiom of getting the population vaccinated as a whole our political correspondent hans reporting there thank you.

11:32 am
or well. if it can is just that in south down beside me a. thing as of today on this i mean where is jack well well this is the big mystery of the day there's a number of places where you could be some of the rumors have it that he's in singapore that he was gay under a fake passport or there's a saying that he could be one of these notorious black jails in one of these rooms where the lights are on 247 and he's not allowed to sleep properly i think most likely he's probably in hong joe which is home base in the east china and he's been told to take a low profile after his announcement that back in october his criticism of the chinese communist party's policies i think that's probably the most likely place for use and he's an enormous figure in chinese communist but just explain to his why this is such a big deal well i mean to put him into context every time you go to an airport in china there's books full of how to emulate jack ma how to be like jack ma and then
11:33 am
videos by jack ma explaining how he became so successful he's the richest mom the most successful hugely charismatic and very very popular but then he he's there's a sense he may have overreached himself that he basically when with the group a unit of his company ali baba tried. go public he criticized the regulators the public listing ways we're seeing the result of a power play between the congress party led by xi jinping who's the strong man in charge of china and jack ma who's the country's richest mom and basically it looks like the communist party holds the upper hand at the moment he's not the 1st entrepreneur to go missing in china either is it dangerous country to be an entrepreneur it's a risky country to be very successful are certainly you know told poppy syndrome takes on a new meaning in china because basically the country is run by the communist party which is allowed a certain amount of capitalism to hold sway but but it's very much keeps control of the situation so in recent years we have seen
11:34 am
a number of senior entrepreneurs who fall in fall of the system we saw with them which acma himself or he was forced to announce that he was a member of the communist party just just around the time of his retirement to show that he was still very much on the right path but clearly at this stage it looks like he's he's kind of gone a bit too far and it seems to have annoyed the router ship the routers in beijing. what i expect to happen now is that we'll we'll see him emerge in a couple of weeks somewhat chastened but taking a very different tack on have how the company should be run how the corporate life in john it should be run and a lot less critical of the communist party wow well i wonder if we'll ever find out why he's being for the task of the months cliff it came in thanks for bringing us up to date. now bitcoin is on the rise again the crypto currency is currently trading a bit lower but hit an almost all time high of almost $35000.00 on sunday that

11:36 am
seen it become more widely traded at 1st it was really sort of a speculative vehicle for a lot of retail investors but now we're seeing more hedge funds more banks more institutional investors go and start to invest in bitcoin as well so it is becoming more popular more mainstream but it's really more of that on the future and where digital currencies are going in the future. and motivational trading 1st day on the stock exchange how's it looking. stocks are starting really strong out of the gate here in frankfurt the docks up more than one percent so it does seem like markets are really intent on keeping up with these huge rallies that we saw last year that put a lot of stock stocks including the tax in frankfurt near record highs there is of course a lot of uncertainty still over the coronavirus the vaccine rollout but investors still very very confident in the fact that we will see the economy start to recover

to we goes and other michelin minority this is one of the most heavily policed regions in the world china's rep policies against ethnic minorities have been called a genocide by some a room key is also home to german carmaker folks flagons most controversial investment. is the only international carmaker to have a plant in the region. we made the decision to build this factory more than 10 years ago it was a decision made solely for economic reasons there was no political motivation for the fact there is no in a politically and socially sensitive environment wordings us china has covered the region with a massive system of prisons internment centers and reeducation camps has e.s.p. i instituted has documented $380.00 facilities across the region hundreds of thousands possibly millions have disappeared in these facilities. on
11:49 am
a recent visit i was constantly followed around and stopped from there ming some of the facilities are official prisons some are unmarked and some are cynically designated as vocational training centers. some are kind a cosmic born in china has spent several months in one of the so-called vocational schools in 20. what they had to learn there had little to do with professional skills he says. we make it in this camp we had to sing the chinese anthem and other communist songs. they taught us that china was the strongest country in the world and we had to study materials about the 19th communist party congress. that's in there what. china is portraying the master tensions as a means to provide opportunities on the job market but there is growing evidence of forced labor inside the camps or after release and former detainees have been forced to sign up with employment agencies v.w.
11:50 am
says there's no indication of forced labor in its operations a lot of you act but we hire all our employees directly they send their resume and we have a job interview and then the hit charge department and the operating department make a decision based on the resume and the impression they give you what has happened to them before is something that is hard for us to know all this stuff that's yes it's through extreme shriya and after 40 v.w. says it will stick to its investment but the control we see is likely to remain economically w.'s investment never paid off instead of planned $50000.00 vehicles a year it so is below 20000. in kenya terminating pregnancies is only permitted under specific circumstances every day women die as a result of illegal abortions and aid organization is trying to improve the situation. we call her mercy but that's not her real name
11:51 am
she was 16 when she fell pregnant she was scared because she knew her mother would not allow her to keep the baby her mother forced her to have an abortion now for fear of repercussions nursy hides her face. i went to a local. medicine man i stayed there for 3 days he gave me herbal medicine and i took it and. then on the 2nd day i started seeing blood and i was very afraid. there are people who were bored and they seemed fine i mean i thought i would die if you scale the she was lucky many girls and women don't survive such ordeals it's estimated that in kenya 7 women die each day from unsafe abortions like the one mercy had marginalized and poor women are especially vulnerable such as those here in the month or islam abortions are
11:52 am
illegal in kenya there are only a few strict exceptions women cannot simply go to the nearest hospital for help instead they come to this man he's well known for carrying out abortions along with other procedures even though he has no medical training he's respected in his community as a christian medicine man for people who can't afford hospital treatment. mercy says she came to him to she paid the equivalent of 8 year olds for the abortion we ask the man directly he denies performing abortions but still wants to hide his identity you're going to know if you do it in the government finds you you'll be jailed and i refuse that nevertheless he knows exactly how an abortion is done i'm not. given an injection drug and they're sent home so the pregnancy can terminate there many of these women die if there are lucky they do die if they're lucky the pregnancy terminate safely it's usually bad however if. they resign i mean
11:53 am
by that's why in most cases the women need professional help after the abortion international aid organization marries stops offers around the clock help for women who can't afford hospitalization there but with so much a good experiences and therefore we finally put in that we started the counseling part we also offer emergency treatment which includes. we give you a to about 6 painkillers and even sometimes the up security theater if the injuries that have happened to the will of course mercy would have preferred to have seen a real doctor 3 years later she's still suffering from the traumatic experience i mean is a similar i would save someone wants to get an abortion they should go to a hospital because those men will just give you some kind of medicine and then tell you when the pregnancy has been terminated they only want your money in the end

you're the one who has to suffer in a battle case. despite the stigma she faces from her community she thinks every woman should have the right to a safe abortion. the white stork which is native to germany flies each year from europe to south africa and back. many of them avoid the route over the mediterranean and take a pit stop in the jordan valley. time for break for flocks of white storks in the jordan valley and the occupied west bank at dawn on east ologist yasi leshem is up early to observe the birds at this huge garbage dump twice a year distorts navigate their way thousands of kilometers from europe to southern africa and back israel and the palestinian territories are like a bottleneck they're one of the main micro tare routes for millions of birds.
11:55 am
because they avoid to fly over their mediterranean so we are like a highway it closer to the ocean between 3 called good and so we are lucky to have effect 600000 stalks twice a year over all that almost all the world population of whites talks about how that $50000.00. 60000. so we are lucky to be at their best high rate of the job would still. rather than taking the shorter route over the many to reigne and like smaller birds stalks fly over land to catch up board streams of warm pockets to write a thermos to conserve energy. the landfill is like a pit stop for the storks to just stay for the night to rest to feed and gather strength before setting off on the next leg. but you get last 10 years they live
11:56 am
not to look for. natural places or your couch of feet but for garbage that of course they have plastic bags and stuff like that which is of course dangerous but they go where they have been easy for although bird migration happens twice every year it still amazes he was studies to birds for decades unlike most humans to storks don't need g.p.s. to arrive at their destination it's time for this truck to take off every day they fly between 302500 kilometers next stop the egyptian sinai before they continue their exhausting journey towards their winter home in southern africa.
