protests this week and the e.u. has already imposed sanctions on russian individuals close to president putin after his poisoning in august of course a growing among some member states to toughen the use starts before the meeting german foreign minister. called for the end of the arrests of protesters to be released immediately. as the german government we already made clear at the time of mr bali's arrest that we cannot comprehend this move and demanded mr nirvana's immediate release after the demonstrations over the weekend is now also applies to the protesters who were detained by security forces. according to the russian constitution everyone in russia has the right to express their opinion and to protest this must be allowed in the principles of the rule of law must be applied. that's what it was russia has always been committed to this and that's why we expect the peaceful protesters who were unjustly detained to be released
3:19 pm
immediately. joined by our brothers correspondent band of eager band if you from mrs mulling over how they respond to the jailing of the valley of the massed attentions what action do you think they'll take. well it really be more words more harsh words rather than actions you would not decide on fresh sanctions today this is what the diplomats tell is from these negotiations which are going on the foreign ministers will demand the immediate release of mist in the valley and also the protesters that they're arrested over the weekend but they will abstain from economic sanctions or sanctions targeting russian citizens because they are already sanctions in place in the novel in the case in the u. ministers now want to sit and wait until february at that but now there's a new trial and it will be decided if mr novell be enough on the it will be
3:20 pm
sentenced to another jail time whether there's hardly any unity in the you about this issue the baltic states in particular are demanding harsher sanctions why does he used to find a unified voice when it comes to dealings with russia but the baltic states especially sensitive and it comes to russia they feel more threatened because they are direct neighbors of russia the former soviet republics so they know what russia is capable of and the lithuanian foreign minister has said he wants decisive words and decisive message but he is not demanding use sanctions he says the you should use a new instrument to implement human rights all over the world but still different interests within the but in the end the ministers visit issue a common statement and speak with one voice but this voice the be rather weak at least seen from the kremlin in moscow news even correspondent ben think of that in
3:21 pm
brussels for us thank you. to egypt no it's as marking 10 years since mass protests erupted across the country and led to the ousting of longtime president hosni mubarak's the uprising was part of the so-called arab spring revolution was seen as the new the dawn of a new era for egypt's decade later but here those who took to the streets say little has changed. they call it the day of froth. and day that still thousands descend on cairo's taffy a square to demand president hosni mubarak who drove to egypt for almost 30 years leave police and security forces cracking down hard in just a few bloody days hundreds dead and thousands more injured. but

3:27 pm
dragos silent let me tell you what's coming up next in news asia. darkstar the produce chemical castration as a punishment for right is harsh sentencing enough to eradicate sexual violence against women. and why indonesia is choosing to vaccinate young people against covert 19 before the elderly. there a strategy will have all that i look for just a moment on the news that's so for me for now that's what.
3:28 pm
lasted centuries. but how stable are the structures today. historically. dangerous weeks. researchers in munich have developed a procedure doesn't only help preserve works of art. form
3:29 pm
into. d.w. . set to go beyond this. as we take on the world. we're all about the stories that matter to. whatever it takes these men could cut. delivery on fire makes. a mistake in the flame or that's hard and in the end it's a meat you're not allowed to stay here anymore we will send you back. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers would lie and say. what's your story
3:30 pm
ready. i'm a woman i was a women especially in victims of violence. take part and send us your story we are trained always to understand this new culture. not a visitor not a guest you want to become a citizen. in so migrants your platform for reliable information. thank. this is d. w. news asia coming up today tackling grip in pakistan. public protests push the government to see culture punishment for greatest including chemical castration but does it really help victims plus. mixed opinions in indonesia as the countries could all know by this vaccination drive prioritises younger people over the elderly.
3:31 pm
i'm british bennett welcome to share glad you could join us last month pakistan's president approved an ordinance that makes chemical castration up on a shipment for rape this in a country with a poor conviction record it replaces and the victims hesitate to come forward to avoid shame and blame the new law also provides for speedy trials in special courts but it's the punishment of chemical castration that's dividing opinion. it's son has been living and sleeping with his family for weeks on the grounds of the hospital in lahore pakistan his sons are in has been here for months he was gang raped and then shot this sadly is not uncommon the perpetrators now face chemical castration by order of the courts. we would be satisfied with such
3:32 pm
a punishment we don't want such brutal meant to be able to rape ever again but if words could change the situation there would already be a change in the society without real punishment such people will not change that is why they must be punished. in pakistan following a presidential decree rape cannot be punished with chemical castration. in this process the convicted person is given drugs that take away potency and libido. these return when the drug is discontinued at the end of the sentence but many medical professionals are wary of the possible side effects. one of the most important is that the born density and all the. hurts and it also causes depressions.
3:33 pm
in muslim pakistan rape stigmatizes the victim as well as the perpetrator and his family suffer adarsh of it is also feeling this her son is in prison charged with rape he's threatened with chemical castration the widow firmly believes in his innocence he should be earning money for the family yet besides a few relatives no one talks to the mother anymore. carol castration is a brutal punishment my son is already a goner and now possibly this is inhumane punishment i wanted to marry him off soon . but how can he have a family now i had so wished that he would have children but now none of that will come true. in pakistan a person is raped every 2 hours it's often a demonstration of power through sex last year there are more than 3 times as many
3:34 pm
cases as the year before the government is under pressure and wants to look like it's doing something. strongly believe that there is a need for such a long if we punish some perpetrators like this it will send a clear signal to everyone else. it will have a positive impact on the whole of society. as a. lawyer robbie a bunch of aa is a volunteer representing zain the boy who was raped and shot for years she has fought to ensure rapists were properly convicted. i don't think so i don't think there is a solution because there is also the death penalty for rapists in pakistan so deterrent laws are already in place but they are not applied. in the last 5 years no one has been sentenced to death for rape in pakistan so impoverished family waits outside the hospital for the boy to recover from his
3:35 pm
injuries and for the perpetrators to finally be punished. let's get more on this from. british good to see you on how much support is there. for chemical castration as punishment for. actually it is being seen as a populist move the pressure on the government has been mounting due to several deep incidents last theo especially the more don't really a case in which woman was raped alongside jordan fred to forget this case was reported internationally their government wanted to show their c.d.'s this and but in this case without any consultation with the civil society or with the parliament to get me killed castration has been introduced of course sexual frustration can cause crimes like rape but i've spoken to many activists in pakistan and discussed this issue and most of them believe that in countries like pakistan it's by matter
3:36 pm
lead a crime of barbara bush a woman as weak and defenseless it's also associated with shame and lost or no and therefore chemical guess treating few men and reducing their sexual drive and not address the underlying reasons why women are raped in buckets than i want or when we talk about conviction partisan or gritty how to do small record in relation to real cases so how does this provision of chemical castration or the new ordinance in general change that. yeah the convicts at the conviction rate of i think pakistan is around 3 to 5 percent which is quite low box and under he has a baby strict laws that if capital punishment it's the implementation of the laws that is the problem i'd give you an example for example there is a law in pakistan that say if any rape kits has to be dissolved within that time frame of 3 months to 20 ah but it hardly happens so you author at the end it's the
3:37 pm
implementation of the law is that this problem also there needs to be an understanding and sensitivity among very male dominated judiciary and the police also says i did i did it's need to change activists fear that if i was any government to c.d.'s about protecting its women from rape if it should start from the grassroots level a culture should be promoted better women are treated as equals and we would be a woman i respected and all to not only the political leadership but religious scholars who are very influential who have a very influential position and by this insight he should openly condemn create crimes like rape chemical castration and their strict laws and not change the pitch article mindset and social norms that in god is crimes like rape so a destruction of such by us can help and also implementation of laws can be a solution just legally speaking be an issue how does this provision the provoking about help reproductive barcus on given that it's already extremely hard for them
3:38 pm
to come forward to even report a crime in the 1st place. yeah it's an under reported crime in pakistan it's a country of 200000000 people and roughly 815000 cases. just each year that i many reasons why of women wouldn't come forward and report rape it's a convert if gun tree is the issue but often many do you sense one of the reasons is the very intrusive and humiliating fingo by dynegy desperate has actually decently been banned by the government and also by a provincial court. and even in pakistan who report straight has to go through the steps in which a medical officer would insert 2 fingers into of a woman's body to assess her past sexual activity and if the test say is that the woman had been extra. thankfully active in the past it reconsider gets in the court she's looked at with suspicion and also in the past because of this this woman were
3:39 pm
deferred to. such as you know they were and they were said things i just have to wait it was 6 and woman of easy virtue so the banning of the test is a step in the right direction and also by a woman judge so it's a step in that article i section but again the implementation of this bank across pakistan will be a complicated and difficult task to accomplish. there with thank you so much for joining us. thank you. sharon you're up besides health workers older people are on the priority list focused on of us vaccines but in indonesia younger people a priority the government says it's because they make up the bulk of the country's walk force and their health is essential to the country's economic health a part of the reason is also that when it comes to vaccine if you can see the government only has data from trials conducted in the 18 to 59 year age group for
3:40 pm
the government dr sufficient to begin vaccination using the chinese made vaccine nearly 2 weeks ago. the 1st shot indonesia's national vaccination program president joko widodo getting the jab to inspire confidence among citizens but the plan is already controversial as it prioritises younger people over the elderly even influencers have been put at the front of the lie they include rhesus saraswati a singer and writer who's been vaccinated since last week. so i. along with health protocols vaccination is one of the best solutions to the pandemic had the limited so i hope that with vaccination people who lost hope last year due to inaction and neglect will regain their excitement. and join the vaccination dr says he would head up on
3:41 pm
a lot of the. but older people are less than joyous the vaccine hasn't even been tested on them yet although recent data shows that people over 60 in indonesia are nearly 20 times likelier to die of cove at 19 then young people also have the loss and it's boring just staying at home when i was only the vaccine will be made available to the elderly soon have a new column we're going now i hope that apart from protecting themselves the young people who have been vaccinated that will also protect the elderly and children who have not been vaccinated. the government justifies its vaccination priorities largely on economic grounds. we see that the majority of these young people are those who carry out economic activities in supporting their families they are actors in economic activities so we prioritize those aged 18
3:42 pm
to 59. meanwhile the elderly tend not to do activities outside the home because they are not the backbone of the family's economy. yet the vaccination scheme has sparked debate in the community a story you see i do not agree the reason is because the elderly are the ones who need it the more. things they do i agree because there is no vaccine for the elderly. but i don't think i agree because the older ones are more vulnerable than young people. and on the health ministry says the elderly can expect to start being vaccinated in march or april when the buy in tech pfizer and astra zeneca oxford vaccines arrive. and that's it for today there's more no website i did have a dot com for the explosion we live in today with a video of
3:43 pm
a cuddly panda cub in south korea has gone viral as you'll see. 6 month old a feeble just can't get enough of our caretaker. we're back to morrow for but. the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and contacts the coronavirus update. on d w. it's 26 thing that's like
3:44 pm
a bunch of the queen because i want to see of germany with the making the last few years have been quite o'brien early and. i heard it a lot higher up when it comes to german because on a also was. perhaps the biggest on the new hobby of mine i'm going to all go for it i love to be in the news there are pros in their account but when you feel the giving to realize it causes of the another way of never they are you ready to meet them joining me right through it. it's a fair bet it will only beat the coronavirus once most of the globe is immunized. dozens of countries have started vaccinating but 100 say yet to begin. the slow and bumpy rollout will only allow the disease to continue circulating and delay hopes of eradication. new variants of covert 19 could also raise progress.
3:45 pm
will the world get its act together fast enough. well israel is way ahead in back saying its people over 3 and a half 1000000 and counting the palestinians have a longer wait another case of inequality more on that topic with the doctor in a moment 1st this report from b.w. stanley kramer nurse moneymen illy and her team work almost around the clock to administer the biotech pfizer vaccine here in a town south of tel aviv about 150000 people are being vaccinated daily throughout the country. so an email with a mommy now because. i really believe in this vaccine or also got it in this week i get the 2nd dose. we didn't have then got any are allergic reactions it's like a flu shot it is a very gentle vaccine it's good. that they may. still
3:46 pm
. the cultural center turned makeshift vaccination point is run by clearly to one of israel's 4 health management organizations which provide care through their own clinics as every citizen has to be registered with an agent all using the highly digitalized infrastructure has proven decisive for the fast rollout 1st priority where people over the age of 60 health care workers and people with underlying health conditions now it is the turn of the over fifty's. with organs great i didn't even feel the shock of a bit i work as a special needs teacher and we're all kind of in the line of fire it's an absolute must to be vaccinated as a younger people are also called up to receive surplus doses of the vaccine which
3:47 pm
would otherwise be wasted the early purchase of the biotech pfizer vaccine by the government has contributed to this speedy immunization campaign however corona virus infection rates are still high and the government tightened the country's 30 locked down once again last week while challenges vaccinating and earning enough time so that it says we start to work in the other and we have the. gift 3rd wave in israel which has been rising in the huge number of severely sick people hospitalized in the hospitals in the israeli occupied west bank a covert 19 testing center infections remain high as well but here people will have to wait to receive their vaccines israel has not been supplying vaccines to the occupied territories the palestinian authority announced this week that it has signed deals with 4 companies to secure vaccines among them also the russian
3:48 pm
developed vaccine sputnik what of the. in the news they say it is not yet approved and they want to give. we don't know what will happen. but at the end we hope that through the get the appropriate vaccine and to be done with this crisis. how do you want all of us to take it to feel psychologically it because we are in a constant state of nori that matter and they will have their options palestinians have also signed up to the kovacs program which aims to help low income countries to get a thing like scenes for around 20 percent of their population. as to guarantee is chief medical officer at as reus of way company that office mapping and analytics in the u.s. how vital is a concerted global driving back saving the world and stopping this pandemic it's incredibly important there's actually
3:49 pm
a slogan in global health that says no one is safe until everyone is safe and this is really an indication of our highly mobile and highly interconnected world recognizing that we depend on international trade and we have travel patterns and if we want to get back to those creek over to travel patterns and avoid unrelenting progression of the pandemic vaccine is our best hope and we can look at it as individual countries we need to do it in a global way we need to se but that there is so much inequality in the world and it in this case the iniquity is so clear be at the palestinians africans the super rich paying to to jump the queue haven't we change that. well i personally think that taking a geographic approach is one way to really hone in on these problem
3:50 pm
areas that aren't getting the resources because when you look at this geographically you can spot those in equities and you can start to do things about it so there are of course organizations around the world from gobby managing kovacs in coordination with the world health organization that are using geography to really try to equalize what's going on how exactly are they doing that can you just explain to our viewers what all that means sure. what they're doing is they're creating of course the plants they're called micro plants really looking at places on that in a way microscopic level when you're sort of thinking about the globe and they're figuring out how we can look at the populations and their access to vaccine and then provide resources in the places where there's not adequate access and it tells
3:51 pm
you a lot about how much vaccine should you order for different places when you understand where the population is and where the vaccine distribution sites are proposed or already in place so i guess that also applies to what we think countries but the difference between cities and the countryside or remote areas for example. absolutely so geography is particularly helpful with that because you can look at things like high risk populations and what their level of accessibility is whether you're measuring that as say a 30 minute drive time or in some places it's more likely that people are going to be walking or taking public transportation so you can really define what kind of access that local population will need and then when you identify where you have gaps in access you can start to make different plans those different plans might be a drive through vaccination clinic or working with independent pharmacies or fire
3:52 pm
stations or schools or other community locations that can serve the local population you can also do things like create mobile outreach and optimize the routes of maybe a mobile van and to vaccinate highly rural populations or folks who are unlikely to come to a clinic to get their vaccine but even if you identify those gaps. is there going to be enough vaccine for everybody. well i think the answer to that is absolutely yes but a more poignant question perhaps is how long is it going to take and the estimates right now are that through 2021 there should be about 2000000000 doses of vaccine made available to the world so since most of the vaccines require 2 shots
3:53 pm
to be a full series that means about a 1000000000 people can be vaccinated in 2021 well that only represents about 13 percent of the world's population so i think this is going to take several years to accomplish but yes ultimately there will be enough and once everyone is vaccinated will that mean the corona virus has been eradicated. well. we would hope so but i don't think so so it's the vaccine that basically stimulates your body to create an immune response and that immune response has a memory so that when you're ultimately exposed to the vaccine you can fight it more quickly and effectively but that memory fades over time and current predictions say you know if we're lucky 2 to 3 years of protection but more likely we'll need an annual booster to kind of remind our new system what it's supposed to be fighting ok we'll have to leave it there as the garrity thank you very much good
3:54 pm
talking to my pleasure thank you and now it's your turn to ask the questions our science correspondent there quilliam says been looking into the topics you've been posting on the you tube channel. if you contract the virus after the 1st shot and a 2 shot vaccine do you still need the booster shot. this turned out to be a really tricky question because it's so specific and different types of vaccines work in different ways to 0 in on an answer though it makes sense to start with something general what vaccines do which is to provoke an immune response that seems basically kick start that process by faking an infection but it takes time for the body to get up to speed and start making the right defensive cells to fight off the intruder trials with vaccines approved in the u.s.
3:55 pm
and the e.u. for example has shown that the 1st jab does provide some protection against the vela peing symptoms of covert 19 if you're exposed but it takes more than 10 days to get there and and it's only around 50 percent effective much less than when boosted by the 2nd shot given the specified few weeks after the 1st one so here's the scenario you describe you got the 1st shot of your vaccination and then you're exposed to over 19 say a day or 2 later and ended up with symptomatic disease because your immune system hadn't ramped up the response here at the centers for disease control in the u.s. says that if that's the case it's important to defer your 2nd shot until you've recovered so i assume that means even if that takes longer than the window of time recommended between the 1st shot and the booster if you other
3:56 pm
sources i could find on this specific question recommended definitely getting the booster shot once you've recovered anyway as the expectation is it will do no harm and will likely actually strengthen your immune response to the corona virus if you encounter it again in the future. williams there i'm banff is all and thanks for watching stay safe and see you again sir it.
