and explore decimating world heritage sites of the v.w. world turn to just $36.00 to get you out now. this is due to your news line from berlin to the e.u. threatens retaliation after vaccine maker astra zeneca cuts its syllabary to the block the e.u. commission is now calling for controls of all vaccines manufactured in the e.u. before they're shipped abroad germany's health minister says it is not about europe being 1st it's about being fair. also coming up the indian farmers protesting the

government's agricultural reforms break through police cordons to take their grievances to the heart of the capital just as the country marks and national politics. and house democrats in the us deliver a single article of impeachment to the senate launching trial proceedings against donald trump for inciting and insurrection. i'm sumi so much gunboats good to have you with us the e.u. commission is calling for stricter controls on exports of covert 1000 vaccines produced inside the block the e.u. was worried about a shortfall of vaccines after manufacture astra zeneca announced it would delay deliveries to e.u. members the company is blaming supply chain problems but brussels has accused it of failing to keep contractual promises all 27 e.u.

countries are struggling with slow vaccine rollouts. this may sting a little but it's over in the blink of an eye getting vaccinated maybe a speedy affair with the vaccine rollouts across the you have proved painstakingly slow the blocks executive is pointing the finger at the pharmaceutical industry the european union wants the order and 3 finance doses to be delivered as soon as possible and we want our contract to be fully traill filled that's a message for a vaccine developer astra zeneca the u.k. based firm recently announced it would be unable to fulfill its you orders in the agreed time frame astra zeneca says that's down to supply problems in the e.u. possibly here at the belgium headquarter of nova step a company that works with astra zeneca to deliver key vaccine components the astra zeneca jap is cute to get the green light from e.u.

regulators in the coming days so last minute news of a 60 percent cut in delivery service came as a nasty shock to lawmakers here in brussels who governments have been rolling out the red carpet for the pharmaceutical company we do not have the vaccine thanks to them but thanks to populate funneling the public paid for the production capacity the deal to secure supplies of the astra zeneca vaccine was an e.u. 1st that brought a big smile to the health commissioner's face back in august 2020 the bloc purchased 300000000 doses with the option to at $100000000.00 more in other words the european union is astra zeneca biggest client it paid hundreds of millions of euros upfront in order to ensure smooth production and supply but with promises unfulfilled the block is not a happy customer the big question is now where have all those 3 produced vaccine doses gone they may have been sold to the highest bidder elsewhere that's why

physician and politician peter liza welcomes insurance that producers may soon be obliged to notify the e.u. before they export any covert 19 vaccines outside the block. we want to cooperate but if. you don't play fair the european commission has to show their weapons and the 1st step is to register the 2nd step is an export ban pharma giant pfizer has also been in the firing line recently it too announced delays earlier this month citing production issues that its main site here in belgium produces say they're moving as fast as they can but in the race between vaccine and virus every delay could cost lives. that report from did have you scared matus and he joins us now from brussels for more hi garrick help us understand this is the e.u. really implying here that astra zeneca been selling be used doses of this vaccine to someone else clearly i mean that is

a concern here and if you look at the sheer numbers of vaccination you can see that the u.k. has vaccinated for instance a 10 out of 100 residents where's the u.s. yet to reach 2 out of $100.00 residents 2 doses per $100.00 residents and so the concern clearly is has a vaccine been has the prepaid and pre-funded vaccine that the u.a.e. you has bite in the contract already been given to u.k. residents of course in the u.k. it's the approval has been given earlier an emergency approval and only a 1st vaccine dose is given so we have to see when the 2nd dose will be given so the u.k. is ahead but a concern clearly is is the u.k. had because they had their hands on more vaccine that were meant to be for the e.u. . what about this question of the export ban that you mentioned in your report that vaccine producers might have to notify the european union before export how big of

a difference can that make. well so far the the u.k. france is not of affected by the supply cuts announced by astra zeneca and astra zeneca of course produces not only in the u.k. but also produces its vaccine in the e.u. and now with this transparency mechanism that the you suggesting is a clear signal to the industry that they are now ready to play hardball because of course what the you could do is say we will look exactly how much vaccine is being delivered into the u.k. or so elsewhere into the world the u.s. for instance for in case of astra zeneca hasn't even started approval so nothing has been going there but the you can you can clearly monitor now where things are going and in case they have the feeling that too much is going there that should be going to europe they could even introduce a ban meanwhile there have been reports and german media that the astra zeneca vaccine is essentially ineffective for people over the age of 65 and that really

has stirred controversy can you tell us more about those claims clearly zoomie i'm not a medical expert so i can't exactly comment on that issue what i can tell you is that astra zeneca has disputed these rumors as they say and what i also can tell you is that in europe the medical agency is is now looking at tons of material from astra zeneca and what they will do is they will not give an emergency approval but the normal approval of fast approval and they will give a recommendation per each age group so we'll have to wait until the end of the week most likely that is when the approval from the european medical agency is expected to. give you scared not just reporting from brussels thank you so much well germany's health minister declined to comment on those reports about astra zeneca as advocacy this morning but he asked back the new calls for more export controls

on vaccines that are made in the block he told the w.c. chief political editor michel it's about fairness. fence if and when they get it would be a good idea if companies have to obtain a license to explode vaccines so that we can monitor which vaccine leaves the european union after having been produced or bottled in europe will pass on you and for this girl in almost all contracts were invested hundreds of millions in advance so their production capacities could be established it's not a matter of being 1st it's a matter of being fair frost and unfair. let's get up to date on some other developments in the pandemic now u.s. president joe biden has boosted his goal for coronavirus vexations vaccinations to one and a half 1000000 per day during his 1st 100 days in office new zealand's prime minister just an arguer and says her country's borders are likely to remain closed for much of this year over the weekend new zealand reported its 1st case of community
