a thrid bottle of the poorest yes. yes welcome to the program we begin in the united kingdom with disturbing news about the new coronavirus variant and that was 1st detected there last month prime minister barak johnson says there's evidence that as well as spreading faster the mutation is also more deadly the variance has already spread to more than 60 other countries and britain itself is struggling to bring infections under control. it's a relentless nightmare for health care workers across the u.k. the shifts are physically and emotionally grueling campus lives cannot be saved many more people have been hospitalized then during the 1st peak last april and
6:02 am
a coronavirus ferry and known as b 117 is playing a significant role in the suffering scientists say it's almost certainly more infectious and now government health advisors believe it could be more deadly though they caution the assessments based on sparse dasa we've been informed today that in addition to spreading more quickly it also appears that there is some evidence that the new variant the very that was 1st identified in london in the scythe east may be associated with a higher degree of mortality the u.k. has one of the highest death rates from covert in the world almost 100000 people have lost their lives with ethnic minorities disproportionately affected those groups are also more likely to refuse vaccinations when offered them so authorities are trying to tackle mistrust gunderson from ation must have joined the campaign to

persuade skeptical muslims that the key message is the vaccination this vaccination is effective and the vaccination is. missable and under all sort of abuse of the religion. the u.k. has been making good progress with inoculation administering jobs to a larger percentage of its population than any other european country but the government says restrictions won't be ease until infections have dropped and it's sure the vaccination program is working. europe's coronavirus vaccination rollout is facing a major setback drug maker astra zeneca has told the european commission that it won't be able to deliver the agreed volumes of its covert 19 vaccine astra zeneca which developed its vaccine with oxford university said it would cut initial deliveries to the e.u. by 60 percent the company was expected to supply about $80000000.00 doses by the
6:04 am
end of march it's blaming the reduction on production problems at a factory in belgium the vaccine has yet to be approved for use in the european union. well the reporter joel dole roy has been following this closely welcome to the program joel so how is this expected to affect the rollout of that the european union's the countries in the e.u.'s vaccination plans or the european commission has said it is deeply dissatisfied with resentment over this unexpected announcement and it is now demonic that the country given a precise share jewel for delivery sort of its countries can adjust their vaccination programs deliveries were expected to start within around 8 weeks and astra zeneca insists that that won't change however supply will down by around 60 percent and that of course has left europe as a very unhappy customer the block has paid over 3 $100000000.00 euros in advance
6:05 am
for these shots and now it's only going to be getting them at a very reduced rate of course rituals of the what is going to have a cost in lives to now this particular vaccine has not yet been approved that approval is expected to come later next week however countries that already factored in supply into their program so inevitably there will be delays well astra zeneca actually isn't the only drug maker to tell europe that it can't deliver as planned right earlier this week we heard from pfizer the u.s. drug maker they are also cutting deliveries to europe they say this is necessary in order to upgrade their production for. sillett is where they are producing the vaccine that has been developed alongside the german company by own take as a result several countries are receiving less than 50 percent of their expected doses this week and 2 countries is only in poland of threatening pfizer with legal action over those delays one country croatia said it is stopping all new in
6:06 am
occupations because you can't deliver the 1st dose unless you show when the 2nd one will come along and this comes at a time when europe is already under performing on its expected to nation programs while in the united states they have an ocular ated around 8 percent of the population here in europe they've only reached around one percent so certainly is a lot of pressure it in the us for sure so far europe is only approved to vaccines right at made by european or u.s. companies what about those other vaccines from that we're hearing about from china and russia so the europeans medicines regulators currently considering the russian vaccine sputnik v but one a your country said it cannot wait and it has gone ahead and ordered $2000000.00 doses that country is hungry the leader from hungary viktor orban said if there is no vaccine coming from the european union let it come from elsewhere so you can see how this is also becoming a geo political issue we've been talking this whole time about europe but let's not also forget the rest of the world because there are some countries where they have not received any vaccines whatsoever and kovacs which is the program designed to
6:07 am
help share out vaccines equitably across the world is only going to stop deliveries in february so while here in europe there's been a slowdown we really should be happy that we're getting any vaccines at all and we should indeed killed old right thanks for that update. president joe biden is warning that the economic crisis in the united states is deepening he says that decisive and bold action is needed to help struggling families biden made the comments as he signed an economic relief program at the white house he's now looking for support for his 2 trillion dollar plan from both liberal and conservative economists biden maintains the package will strengthen an economy battered by the pandemic we're going to finish the job of getting a total of $2000.00 in direct payments to folks $600.00 which is already passed is simply not enough if you still have to choose between paying you really putting

food on the table will extend unemployment insurance benefits for millions of workers beyond the deadline that's now set it means that 60000000 americans who are currently relying on unemployment benefits while they look for work can count on these checks continuing to be there in the middle of this crisis. while washington correspondents cut only night she moya has more on this story for us hi kyra nina now how is joe biden planning to address what he calls a deepening economic crisis. well there are 3 it thinks he announced today probably he signed this 2 executive orders and he also sent a bill to congress requesting a $1.00 a last 2 trillion dollars economic rescue plan and this includes increasing the amount of food stamps for example for americans that cannot put any food on their table to give you a bit of context the current statistics show that one in 7 families don't have
6:09 am
enough food in this country and this is the case specially among the black community and also the latino community and this also includes a financial relief of $2000.00 for each american citizen we already heard president biden saying that but we should say that a financial relief $600.00 per person has already been passed by congress last year so this would be the remaining amount to complete those 2000 this special event for the families that can't pay their rents anymore or the americans who have lost their job due to the pandemic these are the executive orders bad we don't know if the bill is going to pass the congress so it's safe to say that joe biden's agenda is pretty full for the start of his presidency he's got plenty to deal with there but also we can't forget that on friday of course the speaker of the house of representatives nancy pelosi confirms that the former president article of impeachment will be delivered to the senate on monday night about triggers the senate trial now what impact made on joe biden's plans.
6:10 am
yes that's sort them everyone asks here and biden made it very clear that he is leaving the impeachment and the trial to congress that they should decide and he wants to focus on his priority number one and that would be the fight against the pandemic here in the united states a white house press secretary was asked today about whether this could delay of the trial could delay the other decisions in the senate like for example this rescue bill or the configuring of the cabinet that has also to become free of the different pics that biden made and she said the president biden believes that the senate should be able to multitask on the trial and also tackle present guidance early agenda so the senate also still has to come fair some of the pigs and well we'll have to see if they can really multitask or not. we'll have to we'll form of

oppression in our society no one is more pressed than journalists i have to say let's question ourselves and let's get united let's ask our leaders to explain why this cruelty happens and how long it's going to continue whether it is the taliban i-s. local strongman or government affiliates the question of who is behind these attacks often remains unanswered yet for those who continue to do their work as journalists one thing is clear they should not have to risk their lives to do their jobs. our last stop is portugal are popular destination for digital nomads who prefer opening their laptops on a sunny beach in an office it's no problem in the age of corona. lisbon portugal speak to risk capital is a favorite destination for digital nomads among them up to 28 year old goes to

can. we can call the show what their sports love uses and. first it is becoming popular among young people in the country with many of them using its to improve their lives. let's find out more in this report. the best long mental also. in the last. so i will still waiting to see. fencing a sport that is still relatively unknown in kenya. and i robey it is only practiced by about $75.00 fences but coach stephen o'connell is on a mission to ensure that the sport is recognized. friends who come.
6:32 am
to the main fencing is a new sport in kenya but now it's slowly becoming widespread and this makes me have to walk or it mostly idea you know but you can see from my trainees it does help them a lot and that's changed their lives and when we started with them they did not have shoes then but today they do have shoes going on a yard to. run around the change a key key and their behaviors have changed you know and they've become responsible in what responsible. in 2012 steven started offering his classes today fencing has gained more ground attracting people from all age groups who want to learn more about the sport. one of them is actually one gary she is one of 20 female fences a 21 year old started fencing a year ago but she's already making huge strides. when they realize oh. it's somehow changed.
6:33 am
it is late. for everyone. ashley's family was skeptical at 1st a mother could not believe it and because of the weapon was afraid that her daughter would become a thief but in the meantime they have understood it and support ashley and her support if you would renew. actually not trains 5 days a week and the hard work pays off she recently won a scholarship to study in south africa. after all i want to. save.
6:34 am
so many kids getting. some of their lives. before you. can get. to the most fencing in kenya and coming coaches like ashley are committed to establishing more clubs around the come. and inspiring and next generation of kenyan francis. i'm sure your seat at the school you saw is the brainchild of. a german 1st who was warned several international awards thank you for joining me on the investor nominates hi thanks for having me so i 1st question is why the hell did
6:35 am
you decide to use this project well fencing is my sport i really love it and also my father is from kenya so it was a no brainer to come to kenya to bring him to show it to everyone and i've seen a lot of good in this school that the young chaps used in that how do you get to young people well those were personal donations and. donations so whenever i fly to kenya i bring something when my mom goes to bring something and when you talked with young people in the school you get a sense that there's talent and talent absolutely i've seen so much talent already we have the 1st guys already assisting the coach helping we have our 1st 2 alumni from school in south africa training school for coaches so i see a lot of talent. i mean i imagine dealing with so many young people from different backgrounds can be quite challenging and interested and new sport can be quite
6:36 am
a challenge and what are some of the challenges can you share some of them with us i think the biggest challenge was actually bringing the kids and the equipment together like giving them the possibility because so far everyone was really excited to have like this new project to be able to try a new sport and this new adventure because as you said it's a very very new sport in kenya but people were just really excited and happy to try it and do you see that there is. future for this sport absolutely i see a big future i mean what we've established so far in those few years since last year we are part of the world's fencing federation so now the guys can actually go to competitions and go abroad as i said the 1st 2 alumni from that training academy that is just so exciting and we have a disabled program as well so the sky is the limit i really want to go in all directions and make it as big as i know it from germany for example how far is that dream go and. so far we're only in nairobi we're really one and wanted to have like
6:37 am
a stable program in nairobi a big one and from there go to the other counties my home state is actually from. be really happy to see a club in. the north and the south of course too so we should expect that very soon there's going to be the fence and i hope so. absolutely if i can help with that i would be so proud no. decision is but us simply put so you can stop you and get awarded for it now i've seen the girls in kenya and i feel like this is something that i can do easily so i'm going to get into my friends india but while i do that let's move the history make. up a lot it's a ugandan kid books who is
6:38 am
a world champion has his story. with 13 titles to him named patricia is the reigning weld key champion in the female lightweight division. if you get a lot of courage to stand up it takes a lot of courage. to make it to the top you have been when you make it to the top some people still doubt but if you listen to the voices of other people then listening to yourself you find out you block out your. so from what really you want to be. true i'll take area she has faced negativity can discriminate in uganda kick boxing is considered immense on the sport so patricia's rise to the top was an uphill struggle. before i'm not going to that's what i want to change. just to be one for you to want to. i choose to be a champion swash because when i was a young that i had
6:39 am
a lot of patience for bedrooms don't come usually. so i reached a point grab i said i have followed enough but get back turning me but why do i have to tell myself the 2 time world champion isn't just a tough opponent in the ring she also supports female athletes who have suffered sexual harassment and violence apple lodge has a very clear message for the perpetrators people are mentally sick because you have something to show to the wild but someone is actually limiting access to reach where you want to go many of the girls were crying about sexual harassment a lot of them but it's never occurred to me because once i showed them what i wanted. no one even thought about coming that december's of course from my school days hell out of today patricia upload knows that she can't just
6:40 am
speak for themselves in your home village in daraa the 29 year old founded a club for mostly young female q. boxes she believes that hope for a theater future starts with the young generation specially leaders also work to us creating is safe environment to be there to be looking at china. we are actually we at the beginning every. this year she is focused on defending a world title she is convinced that he achieved some inspire more african girls to stay focused on their dreams. i was torn between friends and kickboxing but look at me today. about to spar with. alex now before we start do i get an advantage for being shorter than you are absolutely not in fencing we don't make a difference between heights we don't make a difference between. the weights as you know and maybe from judo or take one dog
6:41 am
we all are in the same category as long as you pick one weapon out of the 3 like this. you have no advantages ok now break it down for me what exactly is fencing so for me fencing is a lot of creativity it's also moving while you have to strategize and you have to adapt to different circumstances because i have a strategy you have a strategy and when you change your mind i also have to adapt to that and i mean of all the things that you could do sport football basketball why do you decide trying to stub your pool and was the thing that you wanted to do it just gave me a lot of fun and just really like to be stubborn people i like to move i like to strap. gys i like the interaction with the opponent because i also used to do swimming and running for example and there you fight against the clock but here you really fight against the opponent and you you get to see if your strategy was
6:42 am
better than theirs and how long have you been a sport i started when i was 21 which was insanely late so now i've been in the sport for roughly 12 years ok now there's been a lot of discussion lately in sports around the world talking about racism in sports. in germany and also us a block what has been your experience like well luckily i didn't have many experiences with racism in my life in general the few that i had where very unpleasant obviously i had one big one also in fencing but i reported it and got handled soul yeah i dealt with it that way and if you feel like you are in germany who are into sport well right now i am the only person of color in the national team which is a team of 24 we have a few and the junior team and i'm just hoping that my legacy what i do
6:43 am
in the sport will help to change that a little bit because i think that anyone can do fencing and you just need role models you need representation and see yourself in and to to achieve that you know it's i think it's important that you you mention your legacy talk to us about what is being your legacy so far i know you've won a number of awards but what exactly is your legacy so i've won 2 medals at the european championships so far right now i'm training for the tokyo olympic games hoping to qualify to go there and maybe win a medal and i think that actually my project in kenya is also a big part of my legacy because that one will go on long after i finished my active career and that's why i'm really. proud and happy that it is happening and when you hope to finish active korea but i'm also planning to go to the paris olympic games which will be 2024 so that's for sure i will train for those olympics and then
6:44 am
we'll see as a cup for when you can be active in the sport and pay something is pretty has a pretty wide range so we had a limb pick a vice champion actually in rio de janeiro was 42 but then the picture was 21 so you can see you can really go on for a long time ok so now look at me here why how what it takes to be the next world champion absolutely if you have a lot of time we will make it happen ok now i am going to get in shape for the next championship you just said i can be the next world champion but probably you don't know what sport you are into at the moment so here is a selection of some of the best sports across africa who knows you might get inspired in the meantime i will be fencing with alex and don't know.
