940 goal has the highest number of deaths per annum habitant of any country germany's military is sending medical aid and doctors austria is preparing to take in some of portugal's critically ill patients portuguese doctors say the situation is becoming desperate. tight checks at portugal's borders at this entry point into spain only those with a valid reason are allowed through. portugal have seen a period of relatively relaxed restrictions now people are confined to their homes except for essential outings nursery schools shops and cafes a shot the government has entered crisis mode. where i think it could be even stricter there are still too many people on the streets. to give us that many portuguese still haven't understood that we've gone from being a good corona country to one of the worst on the ground example puzzles that are beyond. portugal's intensive care units

a straining some hospitals are running out of beds for covert 1000 patients others are short of medical staff or oxygen supplies long lines of ambulances have formed outside some clinics many patients have to wait hours until doctors decide whether they can be admitted it and where. that about whom we have never before tree are just like we're doing now sometimes we're having to treat people in the ambulances as it was authorities say the highly infectious virus variant 1st found in britain has caused heart of all cases in greater lisbon some patients have been airlifted from overstretched mainland hospitals to the madeira islands more than a 1000 kilometers away. well germany is sending its military the bonus fat to help cordial and reporter joel told roy is following the story for us hi joel what type of assistance are at

the bundesrat the german military going to provide so i've been talking to a spokesman from the. he's been telling me that an exploratory team has been on the ground in portugal over the past few days assessing the situation which of course is dire and now the military has to decide how and when and what kind of support it will give that decision will be coming imminently but the message is it will go as soon as possible what's likely to be sent military medical personnel for starters as well as a quick minute such as the ventilators i.v. drips medication and protective gear now the real question is how much can germany they're already there around 17000 personnel on the ground here in germany helping the pandemic response and they'll have to see how many they can actually send to portugal now the spokesman for the business with said that any personnel who will 1st have to be vaccinated against cove 19 and several 1000 have already received the 1st shot and it's not the 1st time that the buddhism has been called in to help

other countries that went into the czech republic and also helped with patients out of northern israeli also to mention austria is going to airlift and treat seriously littlepage patients from portugal all right so portugal is just one of europe's pandemic struggles now and there is of course you mentioned vaccine there the production of the vaccine now is senior german politicians are proposing that the government should use emergency powers to boost the supply tell us a little bit more about that there the vaccine market is fundamentally broken and the state must intervene now those are the words of moscow's search he is the state premier from the state of bavaria he was speaking in developed newspaper and he says that much trust has been lost between the government and pharmaceutical companies as a broken supply contracts and he has proposed now a state lead agency vaccine economy to boost product. it is also spoken in favor of the use of the russian and chinese vaccines here if they are proven safe and effective no market sort it is not

a federal politician but he is very influential because he's in the governing coalition c.d.u. c.s.u. parties and he's also spoken of as a future chancellor candidate his words in on this regard have also received support from a leader of the green party showing that there is cross party consensus we've seen that in the united states the president joe biden has used the defense production act to to boost the supply of vaccines there and so now the question is will the german government follows suit well childer i'm sure you'll be keeping us all up to date on the thanks for your reporting there well let's take a look now at some other developments in the pandemic austria is taking patients from portugal where intensive care beds are nearly all occupied russia has begun supplying its sputnik the vaccine to the rebel controlled region of donetsk in eastern ukraine ignoring a ukrainian government and israel has agreed to transfer 5000 doses of coronavirus vaccine to the palestinians they have not received any shot since israel launched

its national vaccination campaign back to some other stories making headlines around the world a world health organization team investigating the arjun's of covert 19 has visited a market in china where the corona virus was 1st detected the seafood market has been shut for a year and a visit took place under tight security. israel will transfer 5000 doses of covert 19 vaccine to the palestinian authority the 1st batch is scheduled to arrive next week doses are intended for frontline medical workers palestinian authority has ordered vaccines from 4 providers including russia sputnik the. indian prime minister narendra modi says india will push forward with agricultural reforms despite months of protests farmers say the changes will crush them financially but modi insists that laws are needed to modernize the country's farming industry i. and millions of hong kong residents have the chance to

become british citizens after the u.k. introduced a special visa scheme britain says it's fulfilling a moral and historic commitment to its former colony after china imposed a sweeping security door there and launched a massive crackdown on dissent the scheme only applies to people born in hong kong before its handover from britain to china in 1907 beijing has called the visa offer a gross violation of its sovereignty. let's bring in deja vu correspondent who's in hong kong now how are people in hong kong reacting to the u.k. visa scheme are many people day are likely to take advantage of it. well many hoho residents on the ground they welcome the rather generous offer by the u.k. government says so-called lifeboat scheme for them to leave the toiletry as the political

climate on the ground it's was something they buy they for many of the people here . possibly that will be over $5000000.00 a whole residence. for plying for the emigration scheme food at the end the whole passport scheme of the u.k. government that accounts for over 70 percent of the population as well for this game and i though not everyone will take action the u.k. administration has asked that made at that in the next 5 years that will be at least $250000.00 people's to do so what about china's reaction c.b. the foreign ministry says it will no longer recognise the british national overseas passport as a travel document can we expect some retaliatory measures against the u.k. . yes you're right so far beijing has announced that they will stop breath nice seeing the passport starting from today so this the fast they are

the skin. and so from today the hong kong and also beijing authority will no longer allow any home residents to leave the border with passports are though they are still allowed to do so with their own hong kong travel documents so many see this as a political and diplomatic chance sure to retaliate of britain's offer to hong kong residence but there are so room on the ground that many politicians and now they're now suggesting that beijing all parties to vote to revoke the civil rights of residents who would take that offer expression maybe to cancel their electoral rice to are banned from voting or run in office or even their right. to a more extreme extent so many theory that this will only be the 1st hour for beijing to read the push to push back the case offer and beijing is trying to do so to send a message to hong kong residents who would take the offer from the u.k. they may face consequences or even more serious consequences by doing so. phoebe

more. please you know i don't i was a no no he didn't. get it built my eyes are burning ok so for the. sake of write very good. he served a picture with a pretty after the photo session jeanette calling because story is written down. like many jews in france she kept it to herself for years not even telling her husband for a long time they say in. made up or should know. i'm a little embarrassed about being famous for my story. yet they're not they're going so many people dying in europe during that time on your book and me because of that period i'm considered

a celebrity. gossip. when i think about it i feel ashamed seizure of after she. you know me much else each of these encounters is difficult for luigi toscano he has to maintain an emotional distance as a means of self protection. i think remixing me if i'm pretty sure that if it were allowed we would embrace one another and of course there's a sense of powerlessness knowing the people who've been through such horrible suffering. it really gets to them. unesco headquarters in paris luigi toscano is exhibition will soon be on display in and around the building. there trash town b. this is just like the fence of the united nations in new york. research i wish i could set up straight away but unfortunately that's not possible the pictures on

here yes i'm feeling antsy. to do you have security here we must speak about what's going on when something happens you know what we were doing together and they start to made us what this car so you know we we must of course when there is. what we called sensible exhibitions and speeches one unfortunately we check every day. we live really does security you know traditionally give us i was always the fear in the back of my mind that something might happen to me like you know time might be made the target of an attack but we expected it to happen eventually. get. in $2900.00 it did while on display in vienna several portraits were vandalized the incident made headlines around the world the shops are gonna matar the gun i just couldn't bear out

a gun for those pictures destroyed the swastikas out of their faces which i thought was really tough it tore me out survivors cooled me and of course they are appalled by what happened about the force of what they said luigi what young don't give up we didn't see the boy. beyond us all an issue must. measure for we are about to meet another wonderful person i don't know much about anybody. already if you like. drama we don't know how to.

make battle. my parents were picked up and sent to auschwitz. she said i lost 17 family members in paris alone in poland all of them. assess. them so i fled from a detention center with my sister because my mother wanted us to escape us ask me of course says shop she said i didn't want to leave her i was scared oh so she slapped match my mother slapped me yes it was the 1st slap of my life and i later realized the slap saved me was that. i left through the fire exit. the policeman on duty not my sister and me leave they simply looked the other way. called told when you're 8 years old and they take your mother your father

practically your whole family when you grow up quickly you're no longer a child isn't the. mannheim germany a week before the opening. cuts just as i did and this is one of the few places where i can really relax and unwind this for the coffee and taking the photographs is not all aspects hack you learn itself that this isn't it's in countering the people i'm more interested in their stories shifting i can't get them out of my head i've often copped. at supper so much it's affected me so deeply there were times where i couldn't sleep for days on end and i suffered a sudden hearing loss it's something that i really needed time to get used to or i had to get used to because otherwise it's impossible to come to terms with all that

insanity has. to market disorder cause. but the whole of course is something i've always grappled with. i'm nuts why i developed this concept of displaying portraits in public spaces just to intentionally provoke to say hey there are still people around people who survived that mountainous. and yet in some places and communities around the world we act as though the whole thing never happened. for sheen entire. final preparations are made in a warehouse on the outskirts of paris. the latest photos have just come back from the printers. i don't

own one hand you look at the details to make sure everything's all right on the other when you're standing here face to face so to speak you have flashbacks of the true encounter. 4 days later installation begins portraits from the e.g. toscano lest we forget series have already been exhibited in new york berlin and washington d.c. . it's pretty impressive i have to say this is the biggest exhibition i've had up to now so it's a whole new dimension in itself. we're presenting over 200 photos here and people are starting to come and look at them and read the stories and that's just what i'd hoped to achieve. the exhibition inside the unesco building includes a portrait of 86 year old russian d.d. knock to date toscano has photographed some 400 people for his series he doesn't

have a favorite what matters to him are the people they represent he knows all of them by name. as was a lot of susan's was actually the 1st woman i was able to photograph and she made a last an impression on me. she said something very profound those who forget the past to repeat it. and she entrusted me with this saying and said take it and internalize it and keep this saying in mind when you need it most. when people start to relativize or even deny the holocaust it's a fine line and. it's the day of the opening all the portraits are in place and the photographer is feeling a bit nervous gets called for survivors a coming of course a nervous because we're talking about survivors who allowed me to take their

portraits and now that we seeing the pictures for the 1st time. i hope everything goes well with all school. he's worried about the reaction of one man in particular a lead his own father of on yes who's all former health minister of france. so. the circuits really exciting. as it drove through i guess this is the reality because i can't stand to see such a sad old my soul. food through. you know what though that because. it's the exact. burger. is she seems to like it a lot that's a nice feeling that i can slip past so moment it's not just my fortress because it

represents so much more for all those deaths to see the entire show on it's important for this exhibition to exist and to travel around the world it could shift your butt to. pick up africa. back to the future when centric psalmist become wondering headsman it's possible to make a logical revenue stream in southern africa abolishing fenced in greys anatomy keeps oil from becoming depleted and protects the habitats of wild animals shedding ancient skill that's a contribution to a sustainable future because now for. the next plant.
