good to get a bit of. this deja vu news live from orlando a wave of condemnation after a russian opposition leader alexina fall meat is arrested in moscow the kremlin critic was detained at a moscow airport just hours after he departed for a land where he'd been for covering from a nerve agent attack that almost killed dozens of his supporters were arrested as well. also coming up they have seen their colleagues die a coded time t.v. now can get health workers going on strike calling on the government to do more to

protect them on the job plus with just days to go until joe biden's inauguration as president of the u.s. from maine is on high alert over the threat of breitling violence. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program germany the u.k. and the u.s. are among the western nations calling for the immediate release of kremlin critic alexina vali he was arrested after landing at a moscow airport on his return from berlin now on a volley had been in germany recovering from a nerve agent attack last august which he blames on the kremlin russian authorities say that they detained in a volley for violating the terms of a suspended prison sentence. but kissed goodbye before his ticket was from the likes of all mayors arrested at passport control just minutes after expressing hope he might go for. 3. years i'm not afraid. to go through border control cross

the border and go home i know i'm right. against me are fake. police arrested dozens of supporters who wanted to greet the kremlin critic personally authorities had declared their presence illegal and blocked access to the terminal with police vehicles some kremlin observers say the response shows the russian government is afraid of. the said it could have on the is dangerous otherwise they wouldn't want to imprison or kill him but he was fearless and now he's also famous even outside of russia that is exactly what the kremlin doesn't want politicians who are recognized by 70 or 80 percent of the population and who cannot be controlled. august 20th last year he was admitted to hospital in siberia after he lost consciousness on

a flight of these wife asked president vladimir putin permission to send her husband to germany for treatment surprisingly the kremlin allowed it. was treated for several weeks at the charity hospital in berlin during this time german army scientists found evidence that the russian had been poisoned with a nerve agent novacek other western experts came to the same conclusion. russia meanwhile dismissed the allegations as a political ploy by the west and has so far refused to investigate the attack asked about his annual press conference that putin responded with mockery. relation to it but who needs him if we had wanted to we would have finished with. putin was responding to these allegations so-called killer squad from the domestic intelligence agency the f.s.b. had poisoned him but instead of addressing these alec. asians moscow has now put

the ball me behind bars. and people may well be asking why alexina only would return to russia knowing there was a warrant out for his arrest and given that he'd already been poisoned there it's a question we put to use moscow correspondent emily sure all opposition activists here in russia know that it's risky to be a kremlin critic and that's what they regularly tell me people regularly tell me that they would be even willing to die for their cause and i think that you can probably say the same about alex enough i mean we saw in that statement that he made at the airport upon his arrival that he says he's not afraid he has said in the past that leaving russia was actually not his choice he was brought there in a coma and that's why coming back isn't a choice either he never questioned that choice that's what he's said repeatedly since he woke up from that coma he knows i think though also that if he didn't come

back to russia he could run the risk of potentially slipping into kind of irrelevance going forward political irrelevance by not being here in russia in the country especially ahead of parliamentary elections here duma elections in the country which are scheduled to take place later this year where alex in the dining plans to lead the charge on this kind of strategic voting strategy which he's been advocating where he wants people to vote for the candidate most likely to beat putin's united russia party and that was you got to use only sure when a short while ago as we've mentioned the volleys of arrests has prompted international condemnation u.s. secretary of state mike pompei you called it the latest in a series of russian attempts to silence. the e.u.'s foreign affairs chief joseph or out called on russian authorities to respect of all these rights and release them immediately and german foreign minister heikal mosse reiterated that call he said

no vul news arrest was totally in comprehensible. let's go to the latest now from d.w. political correspondent jared reed and jarrett we just heard the words from the german foreign minister there is the country prepared to do more than just issue strong words like that that doesn't seem to be the case right now what germany has repeated is that it wants russia to use the energy it's dedicating to prosecuting alexei navalny and refocus that energy in to its investigation into finding out what happened to him and to bring those involved to justice what we learned over the weekend is that germany gave russia transcripts of interviews that prosecutors here in berlin carried out with say the valley it gave those transcripts to russian prosecutors and germany's position is that now that it has

the transcripts it also has forensic evidence like blood tissue and clothing samples germany saying will now russia has everything it needs in order to be able to carry out a full investigation into exactly what happened to alexina valmy the government says this investigation must come from inside russia be carried out by russia and essentially to bring those involved in the poisoning to justice and jared we also have to mention that of course an avanti was in germany for 6 months he was being treated at the sharia tay hospital have the authorities weighed in and perhaps cautioned him about returning to russia or encouraged him what is their stance. well the government spokesman stephan seibert was asked this last week whether the government had tried to discourage alexina valmy from going back to russia and he didn't quite fully answer the question but what he did say was that the government was glad that alexina valley felt ready i felt recovered enough to be able to take

this step to go back to russia there had been concerns for alexina valmy safety not least because he has actually indeed himself to germans during his time here it's been really easy to keep up to date with him because he's been posting a lot on facebook and instagram quite ironic sarcastic posts and the other day he posted a thank you to german saying that many of the common stereotypes about germans were in his experience not true he thanked them for their generosity and their hospitality but we also have to keep in mind that it shouldn't be a surprise that alexei navalny is back in russia because from the beginning of his recovery recovery this is what he always said he would do that he didn't want to be an opposition leader in exile that he always did plan to go back home political correspondent jared reed thank you so much. and let's get you up to speed

now with some other stories from around the world in south korea the billionaire defacto head of samsung j.y. levy has been jailed for 2 and a half years on corruption it comes after the high court in seoul overturned his original suspended sentence he was convicted of bribing an associate of the former president park on head. clashes have broken out between police and protesters in cities all over tony's tunisia for a 3rd night as the country faces an economic crisis authorities say they arrested more than $200.00 people after protests became increasingly violent tunisia's economic problems have worsened due to the run a virus even the country on the verge of bankruptcy up brazil has kicked off its nationwide mass vaccination program against the coronavirus it 54 year old nurse in sao paulo became the 1st person to receive the chinese see novak shot after brazil's health regulator approved it and the astra zeneca vaccine for emergency

use the code in 1000 death toll in the country stands at over 209000 the 2nd highest in the world after the us. all has europe the u.k. and the u.s. race to vaccinate their populations against cope with 19 africa has so far secured only one 5th of the vaccination doses of the continent's needs the african union says it has secured $270000000.00 kovac 19 vaccine doses which will be made available this year and this will supplement the $600000000.00 doses obtained by the w.h.o. kovacs alliance for africa but some african nations they aren't willing to wait guinea for example is now testing the russian vaccine sputnik v and has ordered 2000000 doses south africa has ordered 20000000 doses of the after seneca vaccine and kenya has ordered 24. or which should start arriving by the end of next month

now that's not soon enough for many health corkers who feel that they have been exploited they found on strike to demand better pay medical cover and adequate protective gear the government is playing down their concerns and threatening to fire those who strike because marion miller reports from nairobi. loves her job as clinical officer a big part of that though was to work with covert 19 patients then one day she got sick herself i saw her then i went through a lot of. infected i didn't have a. problem i didn't and a good source i was opposed to going on all so you're right both of my sons were infected it was very traumatizing she survived 9 of her colleagues did not and then another shock she had to pay the expensive hospital bill from our own pocket for over a month now she's been on strike with her nurses and medical lab offices more than

30000 tough to watch because according to the unions their demands include protective health insurance and compensation for families in case of death. if any of us is to die or one of 8 hours today. we have fun really is going in. and as if that is not enough then they tell you if you do not go back without guns it working environment we are going to start. indeed how to work across kenya have lost their jobs for participating in strikes the government says illegal we put the health care workers demands to the cabinet secretary of health. we have more than enough people in this country since october of this year we have got the most generous. insurance package that has been given to the civil so i want they do have some legitimate issues they have raised with us

for example delays in their payments and so on the reason for those delays says the health minister is the current economic situation. nobody is denying that he should be getting your money you should. it's not a just image right but we also see that when there is this situation in the country let's also visit to give them you know and don't make it look like you're blackmailing the government but does weakest point. as dorcas doesn't feel protected by her employer she's awaiting the covert 19 vaccine kenya expects to receive the vaccine through the kovacs facility among other sources but experts say a 60 percent vaccination target is needed to achieve herd immunity on the african continent meanwhile wealthy nations have reserved more than half of the vaccines even though the home to only 14 percent of the world's population so they've kind of some selfishness to say live a fuss resign it now for people i think the issue here is that global

responsibilities you can reserve as many as you want for your country but what is your responsibility to ensuring the wild is safe to be safe that's also doctors wish for herself and her colleagues how do you feel about their opinion of african countries get the vaccination later yeah. we are less you might we feel like we are not going see that let them know we're better let them live at least we're hopefully we're going to give them up in this. kenya 1st tranche of 24000000 vaccine doses is expected to arrive next my doctor has now hopes the vaccine will finally ensure her safety and for more on this let's bring in now dr mocha comma yani she is a global health expert and joins us from the u.k. welcome to the program and thank you for being with us we understand you've been campaigning for a more equitable distribution of covert vaccines among rich and poor countries how

do you think it can be achieved. it can be achieved by increasing the supply of the fex seen by maximizing production which means that companies under session situations share of the technology and intellectual property so other potential produces in developing countries and in other countries can produce more doses and we and we should be a location of that doses so it's not everything and rich countries but you know as your report says house who are cars all over the world should be vaccinated at the same time this is a priority group of courting the w.h.o. ok so that's the solution as you see it i'd like to ask you also about the current state of affairs because we have the w.h.o. schieffer has just been speaking he said that the world is on the brink of a catastrophe catastrophic moral failure how dangerous do you see

vaccination nationalism right now and just what you're seeing transpire around the world. well it is dangerous because on public health grounds you contrarily keep the virus at your border and we're seeing mutations already so you keep the higher those you know outside and countries with the other countries without vaccination it means one have more mutations that's might not be susceptible to the vaccine so it will it would ruin that impact the facts in making your your own people or you know or you know the countries that are doing so on public house grounds is very dangerous on economic grounds in or who are you confident drive your economy we are interconnected globally and therefore you know who you're going to trade with who you gained which tourist would come or which business people won't come to your country when there's no vaccination in that

country so it's very difficult from economic basis and also it's morally wrong it's morally wrong and it's also i mean we have to mention and and now you know just make the office ration that despite massive resources massive money and countries for example here in europe where we are currently right now you know the continent is still being ravaged by this pandemic just you know tell us about the situation elsewhere in other countries that might not have those resources. well as you know the the violence has been going like in in one in waves so for the 1st wave the infection rate in africa wasn't as big let's say as in europe in the 2nd wave now in fiction infections is very high in all countries it's much higher than the 1st wave in every every continent so in africa it's also getting

high and in latin america of course it's very very hard infection no brazil comes out immediately after the us in terms of the number of infections so it's very serious everywhere and it's not spending anybody really it's not spending any country so we so we need a mechanism to mark's money supply lines fair distribution location basically to all countries vaccinating their interest groups are priority groups you know house workers all people all the groups until you end up vaccinating everybody or at least vaccinating the majority of the population to achieve the community had a minute to and therefore really control the virus without her demeanor t. globally we can control the virus dr mobile coming yani a global health expert thank you so much for joining us to share that insight thank you. you're watching news still to come on the program thousands of one door and

he was the creation of our solar system with our planet is a bit like winning the lottery there is a limit to the. earth. starts feb 11th on t w. it is china is the slowest expansion in more than 4 decades but it is economic growth gross domestic product increased by 2.3 percent last year and that as all other major economies are expected to have contracted to meet the coronavirus and also coming what's next after america 1st u.s. president elect joe biden inherits a trade war with china pulling in lift the terrorists imposed by donald trump and still lances seals the deal the new car making giant makes its trading debut

bringing together 14 different brands i'm chris caldwell from the program no major economy was able to grow last year because of the coronavirus demick except for china in 2020 china only posted a slump in its economy during the 1st quarter making it the sole country in the world to bounce back from its covert 19 losses with in the same year overall g.d.p. growth stood at 2.3 percent its economic growth in 2021 exotic spectate to outperform. from 20 to 20 and it could mark the country's fastest for a decade back by these strong economic figures what will relations with the united states look like now that a new president is about to take office here is the w.'s gentled him alone with more. what comes next after america 1st 4 years of donald trump have

left their mark on the international trading order torn up deals trade wars tit for tat terrorists and it's hardly been a resulting success take the trade war with china washington slapped tariffs on billions of dollars worth of chinese products for record amounts are still being spent on them while american exports have only slightly improved china's trade surplus still skyrocketed to over 75000000000 dollars exports to the u.s. are still growing. you know how to deal with china is a question for both the e.u. and the u.s. they both want to be present in the chinese market because it's huge but they also want to get china to play by the rules but it means a respect in the life for property and having the same conditions for european and american companies in china as the other way around and they don't want china to have unchallenged technological dominance in the world they just haven't figured

out how to achieve those ends yet together or separately. put out a timer multi-lateralism has supposedly floundered china has since become a signatory to the world's largest free trade pact the regional conference of economic partnership involves 15 countries making up close to 30 percent of world trade deal cut as much as 90 percent of the tariffs on imports between its members within 20 years of coming into effect. now it's worth noting that the r.c. was 1st proposed in 2011 and that's quite a long time before the us china trade war even started so it's not as if one percent potato or the other but the us that you should sit up and take note anyway are said might not mean as much economically right now but it means that these countries have agreed on a joint economic bench or it is a flora it's a building block. that these countries can and will build up right so it's kind of

it's it's it's a stepping stone if you will and that is kind of the part that should for evie you and that should for a the united states the e.u. and the u.s. have a host of issues to deal with before they can repair and eventually strengthen their relationship so that they can counter the outsized ambitions of china which i'm all other ways has cemented its international influence by signing a sweeping free trade deal with its neighbors and beyond i mean that's manageable but it is also of course a special top dog life is going to he's inheriting a very. you know dramatic. economic situation domestically use therefore because of the pandemic going to be further for both a domestic oriented president those who really hope that the biden ministration is going to our share in a new era of closer transatlantic trade relations i think they're going to have to

be patient for the 1st couple of years. while a golden age is hardly to be found in the time of a pandemic there is a golden opportunity not to return to the system before donald trump but to make it better he won't make trade great again alone with allies help it can be greater than it was. all right for more of those that spring in the avenues so it's on hand in taipei so let's take a look at china's g.d.p. growth in 2000 and 21st 2.3 percent growth despite all the ramifications of the coronavirus where is that growth coming from. or the growth is backed by the strict virus content and measures and the stimulus policy the dramatic rebound was highlighted by as the next week and a celebration over the last 3 months of 2020 when china's economy grows.

cam to 6.5 percent from a year earlier it has been filled by a surprisingly we still in exports factor corner of r.'s disruption of fuel the demand for more chinese goods for example like china made to face knocks and other medical supplies and so let's look ahead u.s. president elect joe biden will be an arguer rated on wednesday both sides have a lot riding on this economically what does china expect from the incoming u.s. president. of china expects biden will continue to restrict the. development of its technology and definitely to come from a gene on various human rights issues meanwhile it's widely reported in the media that biden will create a new post cold indo-pacific coordinator and it will assign kurt can bell a former assistant secretary of state during the obama administration and kurt

campbell is not on the matter when it comes to dealing with china and china related issues and he has also worked with many u.s. allies in asia pacific region so china can and should expect more challenge from the u.s. . what sort of stance towards the incoming administration can we expect from beijing. well. in the next 4 years for china in the u.s. it's really a competition of winning more friends and from the e.u. china a comprehensive investment agreement to the r. e.c. p. involving many asian countries china has tried to prevent the u.s. from joining forces with its allies so the biden strays and can expect beijing to be more and more assertive on the international stage as a world leader and using its mass market and this rich resource to win more friends and pressure those countries that don't agree with them. so. thank you.

this issue 14 brands is enormous it's more than volkswagen has involved the biggest automaker in the world by the number of cars sold so there is a lot of speculation that they will have to close plants that they will have to let go of some workers the. companies hoping they'll be able to save about $5000000000.00 euros in total through other cost cutting measures that i think a lot of investors and a lot of analysts are still skeptical that they'll be able to do this without letting workers go in without closing plants but for now they're sticking to this line that that jobs are safe especially here in year out all of giants to lance is making its mark today view chelsea lately in frankfurt thank you. and finally chinese state media say 12 out of 22 miners trapped for almost a week by an explosion and a gold mine are still alive hundreds of rescuers are working round the clock to

good. morning laura. and play. this week on world stories. conflict on south africa's cape. first torture and thunder scape in china. but 1st we begin in italy where hundreds of suspected members of the calabrian mafia are in trial this week as a result the country's highest level of security is a place. he has to move quickly the chief prosecutor of katherine's

out of new cannot at t.n.t. has powerful enemies illusion number one mafia hunter is leading the fight against the notorious calabrian network then that and get his own oil many they learn that i get that if there are men of the in that i get there within the public administration by attempt to manage it in whole or in part they're trying to succeed in dominating not only on the economic level but also on the administrative and political level. i mean is that the you are putting think of it out there he has been fighting them for more than 30 years and he has been preparing a strong message to send to the calabrian families and the public over the next 2 years more than $350.00 mafiosi and accomplices will take the stand in the biggest mafia trial in decades here and especially build bunker courtroom set up to accommodate them together with hundreds of lawyers and witnesses the in the i'm
