british prime minister boris johnson says there is now evidence to suggest that the new coronavirus variant 1st attempted in the u.k. is not only more contagious but more deadly as well mutation has now spread to more than 60 countries and britain itself is struggling hard to bring infections under control. lining up for their chance at immunity the people in this queue at a mass vaccination center in glasgow will soon join more than 5000000 others in the u.k. who have had their 1st shot against code 19 but the british medical association has now want the government it should reconsider making people white to long for their 2nd jab. no other nation in the world has adopted that 12 week delay like the u.k. i mean all those other countries are also suffering similar pressures they have their scientists have adopted their position to try and keep their manufacturers.

guidance but also the w.h.s. own proposal of a maximum of 42 days in the u.k. adopted its 12 week policy to give as many people as possible a 1st dose of the vaccine quickly but the manufacturers of the fires of biotech vaccine specifically recommend an interval of only 3 to 4 weeks between its doses so we don't think this will have a major impact on the rollout of the vaccination program this wote reduce the numbers who can be vaccinated but it what it would do is is vaccinate people in accordance with the best available evidence and with the greatest assurance of protection after the 2nd dose their concern does not involve the astra zeneca vaccine because manufacturers have approved a 12 week delay between jabs. it comes just one day after government medical advisors revealed that the new virus variant in the u.k. could be more deadly than the original strain the new assessment is based on sparse

data with more research needed but it's a stark warning to remain vigilant for the country with the world's highest close at 9 tain death right. a hospital in berlin is in full quarantine after patients and staff members tested positive for that british variant of code 19 at least 14 people at the humble clinic have contracted the more infectious strain the hospital has stopped admitting new patients and staff are under so-called subtle quarantine during which they can only travel between their homes and the hospital. peter lisa is a member of the european parliament and focuses on health issues for the e p p group of conservative parties he's also a medical doctor dr lisa we just heard about an entire hospital in quarantine in berlin how would you rate the german government's handling of this pandemic this is a very concerning use and i think the federal government. minister.

did a very good job all over the last months but the problem in germany is that we are a federal state and the many necessary measures that has to be implemented to sides of virus are under the control of the lender of the regions and here i was always a bit frustrated that they didn't follow the advice of going to america and the federal government. ok now just zooming out to the european level you're a member of the european parliament europe is looking at new travel restrictions between certain countries are they really necessary do you think. i think they are member of the european parliament i'm always for open borders but this new. virus from england and the other ones from south africa and brazil they really raise concern we have to be careful and crossing the borders flu spreads the virus faster

and i think that's why we need to limit travel to the absolute necessary of course doctors and nurses need to travel of course essential goods need to possible but we should do proper testing and i see france is a good example we should all follow france. and just to. will away from individual countries and look forward to the vaccines that are on the table and providing a lot of hope to people who've had a bit of a setback with news that astra zeneca has vaccine won't be. available in the quantities promised at the time promised how much of a setback is that for europe. i'm really angry with this company. i think the last word is not yet spoke you know they announced that in the u.k. the supply will continue as planned but because there is a supply chain issue at the european continent they will cut the supply in the

european union by 60 percent this is completely unacceptable we have a contract the european commission has a contract and they should fulfill and when there is a problem everybody should be refused and not other parts of the world continue to supply i'm really sure european union is the biggest market in the world and this company cannot afford to treat us as bad i expect a change of the planning in the next hours over the weekend and we will get the rx in in february we will get millions of dollars i know a lot of people are fighting for this now. ok well we'll be watching out for that dr peter lisa thank you for your insight from the european parliament and the e.p.t. group there thanks so much thought hong kong has locked down a densely populated area and ordered residents to undergo compulsory testing after a new outbreak of corona virus some 10000 residents on the calhoun peninsula have
