in the 33rd minute. and andrei kramnik she added another goal in the 68 minutes i feel crowning the 3 male win with his 10th goal of the season oftentimes rollercoaster campaign suddenly on the high. the 1st of the season was to be honest was crazy from our perspective. a lot of a lot of injuries a lot of. sickness. sickness we had a lot of complications. it remains complicated for half a relegation fight scene. when we talk about the 1st half of the season it's clear we picked up too few points to partially due to our own performances and sometimes we gave points away too easily like this we should be given. that he has ever seen the worst 1st half of the season in 11 years back then has to ended up going down

as the boston team. talking about the bottom side's minds have been struggling badly this season. was a shining light scoring in every other game but now he's left for the premier league perhaps unsurprisingly minds look holy and threatening at home to balls for the hungry world waited for their moment and trounced. mark tossed bialek with the 1st alexander hock unwittingly teeing up about big force for his 12th goal of the league season both sport triumph to neil in mines. just one win so far means it's the worst 1st half of a season in mind says history. it's just as bad fish alka at least they've been bullied by the return of club hero clue . huntelaar but the dutchman sets out the key clash with colonial shit. shall cause

city boston with languishing in place a real 6.0. cologne went ahead following a set piece and full shall come to funding roughly she called scoring on the half hour was. it was the benny gantz 1st league goal in over 500 minutes chalco was showing why they are the only bundesliga side this time to have conceded as little seagulls. but clearly not exactly the world's best defensive unit with a lot of drive and a bit of luck american teenager matthew hope a few equalizers. time colognes young team and man made it to want to shots and shelf his hopes.

the gap between shelf and cologne is now 8 points that's more than shall have managed in the whole of the 1st half of the season. they were home. with our like broke but. if someone don't believe it's better that you stay at home we have to learn we have to fight them to learn all together. make big points the following in the relegation battle. let's see how they made last stage on match day 17. it's been a bumpy 1st half of the season for clock their successful champions league campaign has come in contrast disappointing bundles league of form they finished 2020 with a run of 4 games without a win but hope has been restored since the turn of the year the polls have not. a

draw from 3 games including a victory over byron now on a wet winter night they were looking to hit the halfway point of the season on a high for a man and felix stood in their way the youngster not to goal and an assist secure a win over the weekend giving the side a healthy buffer above the relegation zone. they were under pressure in the early stages though he headed straight a easy puff lenka from a set piece the defender should have done better he was left all alone in the box and. have lenka then had a moment of madness when he rushed miles out of his box and flattered into your neshama. the czech keeper only got a yellow card for his indiscretion despite getting nowhere near the ball. yun zama appeared to be in much better for. him when romano shmeat hammered

a volley at his top corner lockbox captain pulled off a magnificent say. but then zama too had a rush of blood to the head bringing down josh sargent and leaving his goal unintended and fortunately for him into got back to block out those shots. the germany defender ensured it remained goalless going into halftime. and in the 2nd half his partner at center. in front of the timescale of 80 was once again left unmarked at a set piece but this time need punished braman one near gladbach season was looking up. if they're to maintain this form in the 2nd half of the season they'll need their key players to stand up and be counted. did just that with a fine save from the job. and so did ginter when

embalm raced through again was the center half showing his no nonsense. but gladbach will also need luck if they're to improve in the 2nd half of the season and they got a stroke of fortune here. rush it's a shot almost rebounded in off of zama i'm. a moment that sums up a frustrating game for co felt. but his opposite number continues to enjoy the new year. ya got that so far in 2021 we have 3 wins and a draw that has to give us momentum no question. and what can gladbach do with that momentum mr match winner he says we have to take this confidence and play strong 2nd half of the season. to win leaves marco's aside just a point behind dortmund their next opponents in the bundesliga win that game and

gladbach really would turn their poor start to the season around. is it a plane no it's a flying goalkeeper and that link has really caught on. some i was also really for him his team mates and his blushes. he then had a huge slice of luck plays a role. that is permanent. the save the match day. is spectacular with d.c. at texas a and that's. believable safe. unbelievable i haven't seen this for a long time. as one of the by. as in the leak that i think even he doesn't know how

he said i will be grinning about that one for a while but i can see the times. some a smile was that the old system clock back in safe hands to roll. back and labor close in were joined in securing big victories by hoffenheim and cologne who had both been struggling leipzig and byron also kept the title race spicy with their whims it was a match day of winners and losers with only one draw in 9 games. out good best out of the match day comes from don't men's union but even if his new club still lost his home. turf i'm tempted to get a white shirt gold spectacular style. but i do not chance gives him

a little bit of salt. bush bugs in films out because it's nuts. because our job but slowly come through can't stop scoring. he's also now joined 2nd in the bundesliga scoring challenge but he was top of the hour was. a crowd marriage with his perfect freekick the whole time but what they do with the same. claim for and 1st place in all the best goals of match day 70. years the table at the halfway stage of the season firing lead the way 4 points ahead of leipzig and 7 ahead of labor close and it's tight after that with dortmund only in 4th. promoted stoke guard in

tampa can be happy with their 1st half of the season mind since shank a stay at the bottom on just 7 points no team with so few points at halfway has ever stated. the body so half the season is over in this strangest of campaigns it's time to show some not to your teammates. your coach. even your opponents someone all the referee losing is ok right is just to get a little bit of not a good model when you're defeating the furrow but of winning that's why we play football. is it about winning the whole yeah. and the 2nd half of the season starts right away. so when we need a win end. of his and against

book should be a good class. and maybe shall can win for a 2nd time against by and good luck to old. love. love. the. food. food.

this is utopian news to live from fairyland a new u.s. president and a new plan to combat a coronavirus job by signes orders increasing vaccinations and testing and expanding mass for fire across the country but he warns the pandemic will likely get worse before it gets better. and also want to show europeans are being asked to stop traveling meters are strongly discouraging non-essential travel and tougher travel restrictions could be on the way as the continent struggles to contain new corona. iris variants looking up date from brussels. and the islamic state claims

responsibility for twin suicide bombings in baghdad that killed more than 30 people the deadliest attack on the iraqi capital in warrants in 3 years. hello i'm claire richardson welcome to the show u.s. president joe biden has unveiled his administration's covert 19 action plan in contrast to his predecessor he's laying out a court needed federal response masks must soon be worn on most forms of transport and travelers to the us will have to test negative for covert 19 and quarantine upon arrival biden also plans to massively step up vaccinations as the previous administration that left a no clear vaccine distribution system has warned the pandemic could get worse in the coming weeks. joe biden promised to take action against the coronavirus

so the 1st full day of his presidency was bound to be dominated by years get out and told americans that help was on the way but he also had a stark warning take a few moments to think. let me be very clear things are going to continue to get worse before they get better the death toll will likely top 500000 next month the cases will continue to move. the station of the corona virus pandemic in the us is indeed very bad over 400000 americans have died from the virus. vaccination centers such as this one in new jersey have been inundated several states have reported they are running out of vaccine despite the huge task ahead biden told americans the pandemic would eventually come to an end we will get

through this we will defeat is pandemic into a nation waiting for action let me be the clearest on this point help is on the way biden signed a raft of executive orders most of which are aimed at kickstarting his vaccine plan but it will be months before the plan will make a dent in the number of americans catching the virus and falling ill it has not been helped by the news that the trumpet ministration had not developed any comprehensive program to get the vaccine from warehouses into people's arms. and joining us now from washington d.c. is our correspondent all of us al it's all over by then clearly has his work a cut out for him and he said he's putting science above politics what do you make of that. certainly no surprise clara as always made clear that he will put science 1st and shift to a science based approach when combating the coronavirus pandemic but it's all of

course a very powerful approach to leave politics aside what's concerning of course is that this has apparently not the in the case in the last 4 years what we also learned is that the administration did not provide a vaccine distribution plan for the incoming biden administration so they will have to start from scratch joe joe biden president biden now as science several executed orders for that matter to speed up the vaccine supply also the testing supply the issued a mask mandate with the overall goal to reach 100000000 backs in ations in the 100 in the 1st 100 days of office another promise he made is transparency and anthony the leading infectious diseases expert who will remain active for president biden was also among the team and let's listen what he had to say one of the things that was very clear as recently as about 15 minutes ago when i was with the president is

that one of the things that we're going to do is to be completely transparent open and honest if things go wrong not point fingers but to correct them and to make everything we do be based on science and evidence echoing that call for decisions made on science and evidence but do you think joe biden it can really convince all americans to play along. yeah that will be off course one of his biggest challenges as he takes office right now with just one example of wearing a mask the mask mandate and asking americans to wear a mask that has been a political statement to wear one and the united states are very polarized after 4 years of trump many supporters of the former president do live in a parallel reality of misinformation of conspiracy theories and a lot of former trump supporters do question the legitimacy of joe biden's victory

and certainly he will have to deal with that wood and mind biden of course emphasized unity in his inaugural speech so how realistic do you think that message is going to be to actually put into action given that there's about to be an impeachment trial of former president i will try. you know that will certainly be one of the points when you look back in a couple years assess the success of the biden presidency and then this will be one of the important and crucial points and how do you overcome that kind of division and that divisive rhetoric you certainly the right person to do that he is in office for 50 years as a politician lawmaker a congressman he has credibility on both sides of the political aisle but of course the question is if he can appeal to the more radical side supporters that will be very tough. certainly also offers a very different rhetoric and tone and that are that is the ride prerequisite of

his knowledge in washington d.c. as always thank you so much. meanwhile european countries are struggling to contain the spread of new variants of the corona virus now e.u. leaders are strongly discouraging people from traveling across the continent for non-essential trips and have warned a tougher restrictions could be decided in the coming days virtual summit leaders from the $27.00 member states also discussed creating a common standard for vaccine certificates but they have delayed it talks about any possible easing of travel restrictions for those who have already been vaccinated let's get over to our bureau in brussels and alexandra one at naaman central one of the issues that's come up for discussion has been a whether to introduce a new and tighter border restrictions within the e.u. what did they decide about nonessential travel during this meeting. e.u. leaders agreed that it's important to keep the borders within the european union

open for and sensual workers and for goods shipments at the same time you appear in consul president stressed in the press conference after the meeting that non-essential travel restrictions should be considered so i think it's safe to say there we are probably going to see more restrictions and temporary limitations of non essential travel in this press conference show michelle as well as e.u. commission president funda lyon stressed that it's actually a member states decision whether they are going to introduce more restrictions or or even close borders but at the same time they also said that they would like to or they are trying to avoid the chaos that we saw in spring last year when many member states unilaterally introduced border controls and close the borders causing a lot of disruption so now the commission wants to come up with some ideas for

pauses how to discourage non-essential travel and they are going to be presented next monday now what have they decided to do about the slow pace of vaccination in europe. this was top of the agenda no doubt about that e.u. leaders many of them they had a lot of questions about transparency and deliveries schedules many members states were very angry to learn about this pfizer announcement about delays in that scene deliveries the so today e.u. leaders agreed that simple imports meant to push companies producing vaccines to stand to their commitments on deliver is that those commitments have to be respected and they also said that they want vaccinations to be accelerated across the world p. and you know there's also been some talk about introducing a vaccination of passes to allow people to travel did anything come out of that he

used leaders agreed such certificates are important as a medical document and they want to have the common elements there so that you know you can make sure that if you get your certificate in germany it's going to be accepted in greece for example as well at the same time on the more important and interesting question whether you can use such and such difficult to travel or to get more rights to go to concerts or to restaurants that is something that e.u. leaders wants to decide on later on center phenomena in brussels and you here in germany chancellor angela merkel has defended her decision to extend and tighten the national walk down she says too many people are still dying of covert 19 and she's urging germans to take a new variant seriously or face a potential 3rd wave of infections. some unusual january sunshine in

berlin arrived for journalist questions with a more soil message declining in fiction writes fewer people in icy use just not good enough when still so many people are dying in germany from covert 19. today alone we have lost over 1000 people this is terrible these are not just numbers these are people who have died all alone these are families who are mourning we have to keep reminding ourselves of this. the big worry now comes in the form of variant strains of covert 19 they have been isolated cases of them in germany so far they're one of the major reasons lock down measures were extended to meet february and some rules tightened he you leaders want to stop the strains from spreading across the block without having to close borders fungal americal says germany isn't planning to do that yet bosh so i'll be quite frank if

a country with an infection rate twice as high as germany's opens all their shops and we still have ours closed then of course there's a problem. and when it comes to vaccinations another cool for patients and enormous global demand and not enough doses has led to a slower than expected rollout in germany medical says things will improve repeating a promise that everyone in germany should be offered a vaccine by the middle of september. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world european parliament members have passed a resolution demanding a stop to the construction of the north stream choose gas pipeline between russia and germany it comes in response to russia's imprisonment of opposition leader alexei navalny the mass of a baltic sea pipeline is about 90 percent finished but faces off as issue from the united states and climate change activists. authorities in china say it will take at least 15 more days to reach
