in nations it's nothing short of a courageous deeply disturbing this is unacceptable the international community rejects what is an upper. leaders of the world or united and there were bullshit of. this illegal act. on the streets of me and more the 2 is seen as a sad setback for many little more than a decade after it celebrated its transition to democracy. didn't you know you know that you got i feel the army assaulted all the people when it states to steal when the civilian government and a government elected by our people. are not then you are countries just a bird learning to fly now the army program wings then you're going to go oh my god i don't think i can i. ask me in mars catapulted towards an uncertain future many are rushing to stock up on essential bracing for an end to democracy as they

know it will young he leads a former un special rapporteur turned on me and ma she gave fish reaction to d w this is really an outrageous situation and it's an eye direct assault to democracy and memorize people's well when they elected and 2nd that government. it's going to that man not and it's strife i democracy and many decades now i think and it's really too early to see how the situations will unfold in manama but i really think that that people's efforts to achieve democracy will be set back so what action can the world expect from germany well here going ha to chaz the german parliament's foreign affairs working group he joins us from his constituency in the country so west welcome to day w so beyond condemning what is happening in mandela what action is palin proposing

1st i'm very much disappointed about the situation now in myanmar we saw a clear democratic election in november we have no question marks behind the result of that election and therefore we see that the civil powers in that country so to say also pro-west on poets are one in the election and have the right to build a government and what we see today let's gives a lot of question marks i don't know what other powers might be behind that in january there was a wizard of the defer to foreign minister of china to the military's to the general simeon ma and maybe he has encouraged them to to take over power in the country and i ask european union to go into detail behind that but we saw there ok what should germany do now. i think in your piece on the european

level and as the european union we should think about the possible sanctions against those who are responsible for all 'd this is that situation we ought to have to think about. economic aid program we started with democratic majority and democratic government and me i'm on this program maybe needs to be postponed or interrupted until a point where we can say we have new and better situation in the country but i think it's too early to judge on that at the moment but this all the questions we have on the table what sort of sanctions and against whom. and nominate and effective instrument is to sanction those people who are responsible for this military coup because they normally in those countries so it's a traveling around the world they it was in their credit cards they have and other things and therefore we have to to be aware that potentially we can sanction them

and the 2nd is that we have a program of economic 8 to that country started with the german he said and other organizations and i'm not in the position now today to say we have to skip that but we have to go into the details and go behind that doesn't make sense to continue our should be interrupted until. the military step down and give all of it to the people that we heard from a former u.n. weapons on man a little just before you came along and we heard from from her that its allies china and russia have not played a constructive role in promoting democracy in me in my account or showed a brussels pressure put pressure on the country's military about this. this is what i am also afraid of that. generals stimulated by probably the with the duck the chinese. head of the communist the far

department that they encouraged to do that also to it was a situation to score on where. things are not so clear and the region and if if we have a proof for that's there to china or maybe another foreign power behind that. this might be on the table off the united nations security council and it's off to the european union but at the moment i think we have not no proof for that but we have a lot of questions ok so lots of questions this only happened today i'd be interested to know how quickly you want people to act when should that way when should sanctions be imposed when should germany be reevaluating its economic assistance to me and who we would have to topic off the situation in myanmar on the foreign affairs committee in germany next when state i put that on the agenda

because if all the other parties will agree on that and we have we'll have a debate on what we have to do and i also expect. a message from the european union from the high of a cent to defer by it and to the foreign minister himself through being union because i think it's very necessary that we act. together and not as a single act only from germany but i think we should use the next 24 hours to to develop a common position thank you so much for joining us that's funny clear yet and hot off the german public thank you. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories of making news around the world starting in hong kong where the pro-democracy advocates and media tycoon jim ely has been denied bail after being charged with violating the chinese territories national security though it was the 1st meet major legal challenge to the legislation

imposed by beijing last year. that he gets from libya are meeting today in geneva to choose an interim government for the north african country ahead of elections are scheduled for the end of december the libyan political dialogue forum is being mediated by united nations aims to select transitional leaders by friday. thousands of brazilians took to the streets on sunday demanding the president's resignation. bolzan ottaway mismanaging the country's coronavirus vaccination program and they also say the president's lack of leadership has led to an oxygen supply crisis in the amazon capital but now. this is day w news live from berlin still to come a very tiny minority but protesters calling on the dutch government through and covert control measures are getting a lot of attention in the netherlands. because the european union's a vaccine rollout has faced criticism for its slow start but there have been some

promising developments drugs manufacturer pfizer and its german partner bond tech announced they're planning to increase production by 75000000 doses and the german government is to meet with vaccine producers to try and speed up the pace of vaccination so what does the german public think but doesn't. the end i feel like if only b. you had started to come up with a vaccination strategy months earlier. we would now be at the same vaccination breed as the u.k. . now it's chaotic not because people have to wait should have acceded but because the media is whipping up a frenzy the government must tell us how long this is going to. and we simply need to wait. and i don't know when these are 2 and maybe there was too early to have done in terms of getting the vaccine doses to be among them and that's why people who haven't been vaccinated yet are unhappy and want of people from as i did

a farmer not to be hired for the pharmaceutical industry i think there's some of the same surely as a sales meeting. as far as the politicians one can only hope that the negotiators have been thoroughly briefed by health and pandemic experts experiment because one has expound. on immunity. as you get more from d.w. political correspondent thomas sparrow welcome thomas so what has gone wrong with germany's vaccination program. well the 1st thing that we have to say is that not everything has gone wrong the vaccination program is under way the government defends the vaccination program the government defends the way in which it has been managed so far obviously there have been issues but in general people still see this with hope as the way out of the pandemic but within this way out of the fund demick they have been very important issues very big problem when it has to do for example with the procurement of the vaccine something that is not entirely in the

hands of the german government something that has been done i don't european level and we already saw some people there criticizing in part the way in which that was done whether it should've happened foster whether some of the nation states should have had more power at least more leeway so that's one big area failed the other big area that explains why germany has faced problems when it comes to the vaccination program has to do with the way in which it was organized in the countries where they has been confusion there has been organized organizational issues that have clearly slowed down the process and that have created tensions between the regional governments and the federal government and that explains in part why they are meeting today regional and federal leaders to try and precisely discuss this discuss and decide on the next few moves ahead so regional national leaders meeting with representatives from the pharmaceuticals industry what's likely to come out of today's so-called vaccination summit. well you mentioned one

key element it's not only about this meeting between regional and federal leaders we've had many of those before to talk about the pandemic but in this particular case the exclusive focus is to talk about what has gone wrong and what will happen in the next few months some opposition politicians for example have been asking for a national plan in which the government explains how they will get the vaccine doses how many they will get in the next few weeks what they can expect until the summer because the government has said that everyone who wants to have a vaccine will be offered one until the end of the summer so health minister here in the country and spawn has lowered those expectations of it saying that we'll probably won't have every issue resolved after just one a summit but in general the idea is to have better communication and better cooperation between federal and regional leaders but also with the pharmaceutical industry as well and with european commission officials that will also be in

attendance bill on the issue of vaccines and how is germany's locked down working it is working on some of the trends very good so the 7 day incidence rates for example of the daily caseload they are showing the right direction but at the same time there's a lot of concern about forward whether germany will be able to leave its lockdown soon whether more restrictions will be necessary and whole how all this goes hand in hand with this very important but very controversial vaccination program and thank you for. to respond to tom's. germany and austria have announced a plans to assist portugal's overburdened health care system currently the world's worst coronavirus hotspots in the past week portugal has had behinds number of new cases per capita and the highest death rate the state of emergency has been extended until mid february. tight checks at portugal's borders at this entry

point from spain only those with a valid reason are allowed through. and that certainly wasn't the case in this exchange. with white males and then you can look at what our. men were booked up to go up to. the border to your school that if you are our resident be it ok you can come in. earlier portugal had seen a period of relatively relaxed restrictions now people are confined to their homes apart from essential outings nursery schools shops and cafes are shut the government has entered crisis mode. where i think it could be even stricter there are still too many people on the streets doesn't know who i'm going to get is that many portuguese still haven't understood that we've gone from being a kook around the country to one of the worst food grandees in proposals that are beyond portugal's intensive care units are struggling 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 for hours until doctors decide whether they can be admitted and where we're going to come off what we have never before treat our just like we're doing now sometimes we're having to treat people and the ambulances and that's a blessing authorities say the highly infectious virus variant 1st found in britain has cost half of all cases in greater lisbon some patients have been airlifted from overstretched mainland hospitals to the madeira islands more than 1000 kilometers from le. and then there are the many who lost the fight undertaker say they're at the breaking point as they constantly prepare coffins for the newly arrived dead the organizer of this funeral parlor issued a warning. it's chaos it's really chaos so many people are dead. there's no room to put away so many bodies. people should be careful

they need to know that covert 19 is killing for real. i've already lost my ent my cousin my father and my grandfather. now germany and austria say they would like to help treat some of the covert patients from portugal that help couldn't come too soon for the portuguese. well despite frustration at the slow pace of vaccination in many e.u. countries some people are also angry about government restrictions to try and slow the spread of the virus the netherlands as witnessed scenes of rising and violence of recent weeks the vast majority of dutch people support government's efforts to protect the population but as the doublings max zonda reports a small minority is determined to break the rules. 6 don't mistake this for a festival this is

a protest and each of the participants showed up with their very own message there is no virus you cannot stop the spread of an iris it's impossible so i find that there are measures that the government takes disproportionate it's not a matter of that we deny coronado but we think there's a different way and it's going too far at the moment the one thing that unites them is their discontent with how the dutch government is handling coronavirus for the 3rd time now this an authorized event has drawn different groups of people to the museum. since we are in amsterdam police presence is high this afternoon and with reason. we could go cities across the netherlands were overrun by protesters rioters attacked police said vehicles on fire and broke into shops 3 nights in a row and 9 o'clock curfew that was put in place by the government on january 23rd is believed to have triggered the protests the rioting and the looting here in the

netherlands has stopped for now but boarded up shops like these service a constant reminder that the threat isn't over yet violent episodes like these shouldn't necessarily come as a surprise sociologist jacqueline french declan book tells us we have like a little bit a little bit and then this closed and then that close and then sports was not allowed anymore and so on and but that was never never a full package it might well be that eventually. people got extremely fucked up with it by the by the curfew being on top of it and you know in the netherlands freedom is a big thing. this man is worried about his freedoms as well. as one of the initiators of the protests that museum plane but because of last week's violence he's not participating today to underline his peaceful intentions he asked to meet us at the national monument for the victims of world war 2 the rules are too heavy

for the problem ok there is a problem as i say there is a grown up fighters is there and it is a problem but the rules are too heavy 14000 deaths people means 0.08 percent and if you see the problems we're having in the whole country. shops are dying it's terrible for everybody. and his supporters want to see restrictions rolled back and the who to government leave office following the elections in march. but with a majority of dutch people still in fever. both the government and its pandemic strategy this seems very unlikely meanwhile across town riot police have cleared the square this protest might be over but the next one. i will take a look at some of the other developments in the pandemic around 2000000 people in australia events in the strict lockdown after one security guard at

a quarantine her telling perth tested positive for the highly contagious the u.k. corona virus variant china has recorded its lowest dating crease in new covered 900 cases for more than 3 weeks and israel has extended its 3rd national coronavirus looked at the country of more than 9000000 is still registering more than 5000 new cases a day. now to russia where the kremlin has described many of those involved in protests against the jailing of opposition politician alikes in the valley as hooligans and provocateurs kremlin spokesman dmitri pascoe off was speaking a day after tens of thousands rallied in cities across russia to call for mist in the valleys release more than 5000 were arrested critics accuse police of using excessive force. they were warned but they marched anyway anti-government protesters all over russia demanding the release of opposition leader alex saying

of all me they defied a ban by the kremlin the response was brutal and a show of force many were arrested some are beaten some hit with tears alike devices. were here in moscow alone thousands marched constantly changing their route in an attempt to evade the police some gathered outside the prison where i like scene of ali is being held for many of them the protests are about more than just the opposition leaders the rest protesters also say they are marching against corruption and for more democratic freedoms in russia. in a political battle feaster being told what to do being controlled but young people used to organizing themselves that right came here today because i wanted to take in what is happening in my country you watch over the ready it's a disgrace. they've stolen everything from us. i live near oil and gas fields and they're just standing is all. i mean yes i have

a 2 year old son and the curtain stays in power for the next 16 years as he's planning to that my son will grow up with him and i don't think anything will come of it for years though it's. moscow was still asleep sunday when protests started in russia's far east in siberia as dawn spread across russia shown of on the rallies spanned across the country's 11 time zones but so did the forceful response by the authorities to. russia's 2nd largest city st petersburg was no exception. some call this russia's most aggressive and fear inducing nationwide operation but others say the government's attempts to overwhelm the protests might actually fuel the flames of the russian opposition and the voices calling for change.
