it's typical for. chinese gateway drug stores with your 19th d.w. . to see w. news live from for lent it is international holocaust remembrance day exactly 76 years after the liberation of the nazi concentration camp in auschwitz the world is called on to commemorate the 6000000 jews and others killed in the genocide and to never forget. also coming up the c.e.o.

of drugmaker astra zeneca goes on the offensive saying the vaccine supplies to the e.u. are being delayed now because the block was late in signing a deal the e.u. called on the company to publish its contract plus as covert 19 infection numbers declined steadily the german government to mulls measures aimed at stopping the spread of the mutant virus and it potential 3rd wave of the pandemic plus football made in germany is in demand and the english premier league thomas twofold takes the reins that chelsea joining your good club and ralph ellison photo at the top tier. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the german parliament has held a ceremony to mark the international holocaust remembrance day which commemorates the 6000000 jews. and other victims of naziism now the remembrance day falls on the

anniversary of the liberation of the nazi concentration camp in auschwitz german officials including president from my r. and chancellor angela merkel and representatives of the jewish community in germany took part in the commemoration this year the ceremony also marked 1700 years of jewish life in germany a guest speaker this year was. holocaust survivor and former head of the central council of jews in germany she said there is a worrying reoccurrence of anti semitism in the country. i don't need to present you with the timeline of anti-semitic incidents in our country they take place openly blatantly almost daily conspiracy theories are becoming more and more popular once again anti semitism is bringing in votes it has become socially acceptable again from schools to coronavirus demonstrations and of course on the

internet the hotbed of hate in hatred of all kinds and let's get more we are joined by the chief political correspondent melinda crane the belinda 76 years ago auschwitz liberated what meaning did the ceremony have today in the book a stark. well this is the 25th time that this commemoration has been held and quite simply its meaning is to remember the horrors of the holocaust as a 1st crucial step to ensuring that those horrors will not be repeated so as you mentioned this year the theme is 1700 years of jewish life in germany and that is a reminder especially to the right wing nationalists who reject judaism as ili and the jews in fact have been here far longer than germany has been a nation state and this ceremony takes place at a moment of some urgency when as the president of the buddhist temple skunk shortly

put it anti-semitism is once again rearing its ugly head as we also just heard from so a lot to connote love the president of the going to stop referring to this commemoration as an opportunity to renew germany's commitment to protect its jewish citizens and in fact there is much that they need to be protected from as we heard from all of the speakers who address the going to start today and it's also worth noting there were of course a lot of hiring german officials i took part in the commemoration of listening to the messages of these speakers walk us through them a little bit more. well a consistent message focused on the ambivalence of jewish life in germany today a diverse flourishing jewish community as was described by 2 of the speakers that at the same time is subject to threats and insults that feels fear and that longs for a normal see it doesn't have so the 88 year old head of the munich shoers community

show a lot of noble a home free we heard from a moment ago she talked about her lifelong mission to try to translate coexistence into togetherness and both she and marina vice bond young jewish immigrant to germany talked about the fact that the fight against hatred is an ongoing process so let's quickly hear salata cannot be stark warning that that process needs to begin with an effort to root out the hateful words that preceded actions this you know me i understand the issue of anti-semitism is bigger than what appears on the surface you know if you want to get to the root of hatred against jews you have to get to where it hurts. even at the heart of society. even where acceptance of democratic values has been rejected even where intolerance has been allowed to brew for too long under the guise of tolerance ski and. linda sure logic

knoblock had a very very strong message for the far right allocations who were present at the bundestag today. indeed she did at the end of her remarks she spoke quite directly to the right wing party the a.f.d. saying quote i won't hide the fact that i am disturbed you're sitting here and while she was saying that we could actually see the head of that party who at one time had said that the holocaust simply represents 12 years in a long glorious german history and in that way was a kid into a small piece of bird dung she left a canal block went on to say to them we will fight for our germany but i know you will also fight for you yours but perhaps some of you are unaware of the footsteps you follow in the fact is you lost your fight 76 years ago very powerful words there to the a.f.d. party absolutely chief political correspondent melinda crane walking us through

the ceremony which has taken place today various events happening around the world we also have to mention on this international holocaust remembrance day. while it's a sad fact that with every year that passes there are fewer and fewer holocaust survivors still alive to tell their story one man who survived the auschwitz concentration camp spoke with you about his experience and about the importance of never forgetting. peter you have had a sheltered childhood in a jewish family in transylvania. but it suddenly ended when he was 13 years old and so that's. the germans occupied transylvania 1944. a short time later we were deported to auschwitz my entire family was murdered there through various coincidences or i can also say

with god's help i stayed alive. his sister and mother were immediately killed in the auschwitz gas chambers. pretended he was older and was sent to areas concentration camps for forced labor. for the persecution of the jews and that year and of its dark and cal furthering might have hardened or non me emotionally they had so that i was no longer able to react to things as a normal person would. shortly before liberation god managed to escape he later went to university built a career and started a family. with. the my wife and i lived together for 7 years before we got married. and i never talked about my past with

her. sometimes i feel as if it were sunk in concrete. and cement. instead. now it is important for him to talk about it and about anti semitism today that worries the 19 year old very much. store was sawing grape fruit from south america and israeli grapefruit from job i bought the ones from java not out of jewish solidarity but because they are better they taste better the lady behind me said don't buy from jews. regrets that he can no longer go into schools as a contemporary witness due to the pandemic talking to young people brought him much joy. and skin i'm 90 now there aren't many survivors of my age left

and i guess none of us will be left in 20 years or so it's good if it's recognized in schools and history books will mean that. it will be but you can't make the young generation and the next young generation and the one that follows them all responsible for it to be. you can't do that all you can say is never forget. and let's have a look at some other stories making headlines russia's upper and lower house of parliament have ratified the extension of the last remaining nuclear arms control pact with the u.s. the lower house the state duma voted unanimously to extend the new start treaty for 5 years the vote came a day after u.s. president joe biden and his russian counterpart vladimir putin reached a deal. the chinese government says that it flew warplanes near taiwan last weekend as a warning against foreign interference and separatist forces on the island taiwan scrambled

tied to a certain delivery timeline when it comes to covert 1000 vaccines his comments coming after the british swedish company announced a cut in supplies to the e.u. in the 1st quarter the european commission has publicly expressed frustration at the company over the hold up for more let's bring in correspondent georg mattis who is standing by in brussels the astra zeneca boss is going on the offensive as we've heard saying that this is all the e use old fault because it simply signed the supply deal too late what's the reaction from brussels. direction from brussels serous that the e.u. contests that explanation they're also not fond of the explanation given by the c.e.o. that apparently a contract in the u.k. for seize that anything that is a produced in the u.k. needs to be supplied to the u.k. from the perspective of the e.u. and from the perspective of all member states at the contract with astra zeneca is

the contract with a global company that produces this vaccine not only in the u.k. and the e.u. but also in india and in other parts of the world and so if there are problems in the supply chain it is not only the e.u. which happens to be the biggest client that has to carry the book. a you commission officials they're due to hold and a 3rd crisis meeting with astra zeneca they were due to do so it was then cancelled now it seems to be back on again what's going on. well we've just learned from the european commission that the situation is evolving astra zeneca confirmed however that the meeting is taking place there seems to be a serious row here and there are so many open questions there is a particularly interesting issue is for instance is this contract a commitment that holds by abide by their contract or is that just a promise that they will do their best as the c.e.o. for mr seneca said and the e.u.

commission is expected to say to publish that contract which so far is confidential in order that we can show that you have actually committed to deliver $80000000.00 vaccines in that 1st quarter of the year and instead of the 31000000 that are now likely to come and amid all of this scale are we have to say that the european medicines agency is expected to approve the astra zeneca vaccine on friday there have been in time also some questions regarding the efficacy in older patients it appears not to tell us i've lost the connection but but what i can also tell you is that. there is a process now where the european medical agency will is still looking into data that they received from astra zeneca and it needs to be particularly interesting what they will have to say on the group of 70 years olds and older because they receive not a lot of data from them and so it might be that they will give

a recommendation only on younger groups and not to the older groups but will have to wait for that the approval is expected at the end of the week matus in brussels thank you so much. here's a look at some other developments in the pandemic the number of covert cases worldwide has now surpassed 100000000 that's according to johns hopkins university amid a drop in new cases moscow is easing its coded restrictions by allowing bars restaurants and nightclubs to remain open through the night and a chinese woman has been sentenced to one year in prison for hiding her virus symptoms before boarding a flight from the u.s. to china last march she took medication to suppress a fever. well germany recorded over 13200 new coronavirus cases on wednesday a slight drop compared to the same day last week germany's to seize control agency says that daily infection numbers are steadily decreasing but the situation remains

serious outbreaks are still being reported across the country particularly in nursing and care homes and the death rate remains very high with 982 deaths registering in the last 24 hour period. the 1st case of coded 1000 in germany was identified one year ago by dr camilla botha she is the deputy head of the infectious disease and tropical medicine division at the l.m. you university hospital in munich she was also one of the 1st in the world to report the new virus spreads a symptomatically she spoke with news and recalled her experience of detecting germany's 1st case the 1st case we discovered really was a big surprise to us in many ways and nevertheless i would would not have thought that we end up in a pandemic. back then we were actually contacted by a company from close by in munich so they had had. a visitor

from china visiting the week before who had sued run very intends workshops and she had fallen ill after her return to shanghai it was then and she formed it with a fever and cough and been diagnosed with a new virus and shipped in film form the company exactly a year ago and we were we were flown by a businessman who wanted to be tested for the new virus he'd been ill over the weekend with the future and to cough but was actually already fine when we saw him it was a very big surprise to be that he was found diagnosed with a new virus and what interested me a lot was actually how the. chinese visited appeared during her visit and whether she had been compromised in any way if a person that is infected doesn't perceive herself to be infected there's no reason to stay at home or to get to bed to get tested and that was the big difference was

sussed to south from 2003 which in which case patients would only be infectious when they were actually quite ill and virus like that was very easy to control you basically just tell anyone with symptoms to stay at home so the big news really was that this virus is much more difficult to control. dr camilla rochester he can with us earlier meanwhile germany dia reports say that the governor the government excuse me here is considering additional radical steps to slow the spread of coppa 19 including cutting international air travel to germany to near 0 now the arrival of new more infectious variants of the virus in the country is feeling concerns at a time when the rollout of vaccines is slower than expected patrick sends purpose a member of the german parliament for the christian democrats the c.d.u. earlier he told the w. that limiting air travel was just one of the additional measures the country was

considering before we talk about reducing our travel we talk about more tests when you arrive in germany right now you can come from countries like egypt dubai was out having a test when you were lending in germany this was it measures that come before the discussion of reducing our air travel but i think in this situation we have to talk about mandatory tests when you arrive not bringing a document with you is that you have been tested before you had to be tested when you arrive in germany and parents you know should be controlled but this is a big task because many many people come to germany and to control these people if their own home current you know is quite sick and now we're discussing if we need more measures in at traveling testing when you arrive better control of the home currency you know i think that's a discussion now discussion is not bringing our trouble down to 0. now we had to lebanon where hundreds of anti-government protesters have clashed with security forces for a 2nd day including in the capital beirut and the 2nd largest city of tripoli

that's as the country hit a new daily record for coronavirus deaths people are angry at the worsening economic conditions and the strict a lockdown that they say is driving them into poverty. they are angry and desperate asco with 19 cases are soaring protesters took to the streets fossick and night hundreds of mostly young men clashed with police there but dozens of injuries many here feel they have now reached their breaking point. the pain of the people has driven them to the streets. after today with nothing changed we want to overthrow the system from head to toe what we see today is the pain of the people and what you soul is all pain. and poverty. more than 2 and a half 1000 lebanese have died from the virus and the government has imposed one of the strictest lockdowns in the world including around the clock curfew. but

many are being pushed into poverty. there's no stability the dignity of the people was the red line what we see for a 2nd day in tripoli is the result of a very hard reality without any plans to feed the people that taxi driver earns just over $10.00 how can we tell him to stay home when he can't afford to buy bread for his family. the pandemic has hit with the country already experiencing at dyea konami crisis. between close have brought lebanon's health care system to its knees and now many of its people into a state of rage and desperation. it's only is facing new political turmoil. after the resignation of prime minister just the context he stepped down after a small coalition partner pulled out of his cabinet that left him facing the prospect

of a humiliating defeat in the parliament this week in a vote on judicial reform observers believe that he may be in a position to form a new government meanwhile with broader political support. just last week because this seemed in bullish form as he addressed the senate. on tuesday morning he was being whisked from the queer and all palace having informed the president of his resignation. the president of the republic sergio mata rela has received this morning at the kernel palace the prime minister giuseppe conti resigned as his head of government . does undoing lay in his inability to secure support for proposed judicial reform. his former coalition partner matteo renzi was the man whistling

a different to the italian even party chief has come under intense criticism in italy no he looks the most relaxed manner around. probably had good reason to show everyone that this government did not have a sufficient majority i think however that they will find a solution. because it only deserves a good government. but not everyone in rome was so sure. of my confidence in the government. not at this point but one or both especially with all the games being played. out for one extra member of parliament to reach it. this is not the way you going to take a country like italy. and you. i'm not very confident frankly because i think the behavior particularly of some political parties has

been very irresponsible response of the. president could now charged with forming a new government if he can find additional support. whatever the outcome italians must now deal with political upheaval to add to the turmoil caused by a financial crisis and the pandemic. for it's news for you now an english club chelsea have confirmed thomas to fall as their new coach he signed an 18 month contract with the london club he is the latest german coach to try his luck in the premier league so what can chelsea expect from their new man while we take a look now to full scale real career so far one that has been very much made in germany. thomas took over likes to do things his way the german coaches tactical 1st became apparent this league a side might stick with his unique football philosophy the nickname long breaker.

gunda before we started the program i would like to introduce my new co-presenting in the geria crieff and it is nice to have you with us on the show please oh thank sundra of delighted to be part of the t.v. all this weekly african program for cross and also stability on environmental protection here's a look at what's coming up on today's program. were pulled all the fossil 18 grabbers zebras in kenya and how the women scout of the sabra people protect them. we'll take a look at how scientists are trying to solve a plastic problem. i will tell the story of german company that wants to save insects rather than kill them. and so for us are known for the a beautiful striking stripes and tourists enough to watch dogs grazing in africa's grasslands what people realize is that this course between a wild horse and a donkey is becoming increasingly rare the gravy zebra easily rapidly disappearing

from them we already have it and climate change coveted close due to increased farming up to 50 is how pushed the creatures to the brink of extinction but the women from the some community kenya trying to save them. oh oh. shortly after dawn affaires glimpse of previous zebras the presence of gin and have troop doesn't seem to bother the animals who are normally shy here in the summer original central kenya the so-called women scouts are on patrol to determine how far does their brass range the organization grevious zebra trust has trained more than 20 young women to monitor the world's most threatened species.

when i leave home i felt it a sheet to show where my patrol is start and then every 30 minutes i fill in the g.p.s. data to show where i am and if i've seen zebras at the end of the organization uses that data to try to routes where i have patrolled. did i say they're not only. 40 years ago there were 15000 graves in kenya a lot there are fewer than 3000 they live in one of the driest parts of the country busy breast cancer vie for up to 5 days without water city florida in these conditions where there was no competition from other animals but now humans have begun to settle here and the ahead and mouse it in the grass. roots of 3 from the norm under him where come with us to make bread for one place to another giving the land follow credit for it to cover where we are for medical many with more fit

over the pastoral communities rely mainly on goats and cows due to the presence of the nearby river humans and any marseille increasingly occupying the same areas and food is growing scarce longer dry periods caused by global warming are destroying more and more pasture land increasing the pressure on the zebras and the eco system for yes peter lumper has been working with local cattle farmers he believes they can co-exist peacefully with as the press release. about the able to grab some media 4th place and addressing it with all those leaders they've got as growth and grazing areas you know about your species of give the blood of buster and so it's a way of rationing pasture it's a war for making this system between left off and worldly eroded areas are being replanted to benefit all parties they remain in their communities play a key role in this influence can ensure that the next generation will continue to

value that quakes distance. herd animals loose in the soil on the arid past alliance then semicircular embankment are constructed around areas where. grass could start growing again they cut to the little available rain water and directed onto the fields this some were women out invasive trees to use for firewood grass and other plants grow india plays this way 600 hectares of pasture land i reclaimed each year. the area that we've probably within a mere thing response where there is no growth is that of mr p. had over a year how come. bathilde an indication that if it's working. tradition so important to some people either regions only or brave the women gave thanks for the water and passed us into the ceremony. and.

central today into the ceremony is a message of respect. it also communicates to rest of the community. of our conservation work and planned grazing never mind that all that yesterday that. the scouts said yeah efforts have led to greater acceptance of the zebras and that has been a fix for all. the movement of livestock and they can eat together with the zebras so the zebras don't wander off in search of pasture this up trucks tori's to the region tourism creates jobs and bass response children who. future generations of local people provided with education and training could build up a nature reserve where they zebra population could recover and thrive. informal settlements have become home many many places in africa facing let's go

right to auburn migration this is especially true in big cities that growing populations an opportunity to walk and lead better lives but the development of infrastructure can barely keep pace. we can see it every day here in nigeria sandra the pressure on the housing market and the difficulties provided utilities. are in prison now they go to one of the biggest cities in africa it's no exception state and private organizations here are working together to build and expand. the stuff. the rica is an area of nigeria's commercial capital lake us but here cooking tends to be done over an open wood fire. and since this informal settlement is not on the grid people use diesel powered generators to get electricity burning these fossil

fuels releases greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change the authorities have no clear idea about the fuel usage here so they started to gather information . before we record and here are used to know the type of image they use in lighting and cooking i mean not activity so it's important we should get this data i don't use it to feed into our climate action plan so nor how we you know. our options. before march before us at the missing levels. see for she is a network of almost 100 cities around the world including lagos that promotes climate action this energy usage survey is being carried out under its guidance the team go door to door they've already uncovered the main reasons why solar energy is not used more widely in such informal settlements where people were not going for

summa is because one they don't have the knowledge about it and finance is actually good. but a local mini power grid is coming to the reader the government wants 10000 solar powered mini crit set up across the country by 2023. and environmental n.g.o.s teaches neighborhood residents how to set up solar panels and how to turn daytime sunlight into nighttime street lamps to make life here safer. and when it is night everywhere will be getting dark you can see if we can see from here to that these so but where we store all these you can see from here for are these things so the reason why we are doing this in the community is another problem here is poor sanitation this is

a public toilet the waste goes straight into the river and contaminates the water used for washing and cooking another injury oak or justice and empowerment initiatives recently built this toilet facility which uses a kind of composting system called a by a full digester to break down the waste. artist with tyler gani taiwo is contributing to the project. some other do come around sit down. with storms oh my mechanism beautiful like this and i said well it's attracted to deter it's a common use it nobody. is interested in the community about it. the facility cost $1800.00 us dollars to use it you have to pay the equivalent of just under $1.00 cent for all the money goes towards maintenance and cleaning. it goes up. people in are going to go and the regular also happy about the new solar

powered streetlights that are going up they're looking forward to having light during the long evenings and doing away with diesel generators also reduce the areas carbon emissions. one problem and we're nearly in the mood to see the picture you. really need i mean anything need to be changing believe in a few families. how will climate change affect us and our children. w dot com slash water why is that plus taking off in our rivers the oceans isn't the issue that comes up a lot here on eco on. is plastic is so bad for planet we should clearly get rid of fits our oh well a couple of young scientists have developed an interest in solution take

a look at how they plan to overcome the plastic problem. what if nature had a way of ridding the world of a major environmental headache. and at the same time creating something that improves the soil. sound impossible here it is this cheap contains microorganisms that love to feast on plastic and was minor asked by interesting i mean some of the co-founders of poly hungering biotech company. called the loops bacterial cocktail can digest and host of disposable plastic the degradation process is very similar to how those lives disappear. from. autumn and so all spring time a consortium of microbes biodegrades them and this is what we're doing where are

bacteria and fossil based fostex. this is how it's going to look like into leaves. there are other plastic easy bacteria available but this unique combination metabolizes morgan just p.t. bottles within 7 weeks the microorganisms can break down virtually any mixture of plastics and the resulting sludge can be utilized as a soil improve the startup now hopes to build an industrial plant to test the degradation process on the largest scale. then how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website forbes and does a tweet. after doing your bit. sharing

your story. wow who knew that there is bacteria that actually it's like well until such new blood degrading methods are granted take off there is only one thing we can do and that's recycle a fortune. is look only good for the environment it can also be a lot of fun. fashion and fun certainly go hand in hand. design label boy bill is known for colorful eye catching and sustainable creations and the show for the bond film and his brother calvin have been a part of god his fashion scene for some time. now they're making their signature items from waste materials like plastics and broken mirrors. main goal was to

create this seam effect like the same jackets and stuff that people knew us for all we wanted to create the same thing with their rabbits and then jack would like to make them have the same feeling in scenes we lines it up by a year and a half nice being going great. members of this team collect plastic waste they find littering their community gone or recycles no more than 5 percent of the $1000000.00 tons of plastic generated. the waste materials are carefully sorted and prepared ready to be sewn. with their boy and build a book the young designers are among the foreigners in their field when it comes to creating wearables through upcycling. they hope to inspire as many gun ians as possible to start choosing their sustainable fashion.
