we saw a few hours ago around 100 protesters or supporters of id exchange of army had gathered here just across the street from where i'm standing and then they were most of them were very quickly detained we've now heard from independent monitors that just under 100 people were detained here in moscow today and of course that comes after mass protests that took place over the weekend where thousands of people took to the streets in moscow and in other cities across russia as well what is in a volley facing in court today emily. well russia's prison service has asked for a suspended sentence that he has for a fraud case that was opened against him in 2013 to be turned into real jail time they say that he broke the conditions of his parole his defense in court has now

12:05 pm
seen at these protests today at the protests over the weekend and the protests last week just now i was speaking to some of the supporters who came out and who just came back here despite the arrests that we've been seeing here and at the nearest metro station as well and one young woman i spoke to said that i look say now viney was not afraid to come back to moscow and so she also has a resolve not to be afraid either to come out today despite the mass arrests that we've been seeing of peaceful protesters and i think this these protests over the past few weeks and the support of aleksei now viney are a threat to the kremlin now especially because many of the protesters that i have been speaking to over the last few weeks also been saying you know this is about much more than i would say not by me actually this is about the accusations of corruption that he's leveled at the ruling elite including at the mere putin
12:06 pm
himself and they've been telling me that they want to live in a different country a more democratic country a country without corruption and and so it seems that this is about much more than just the the trial going on behind me not only sure when in moscow thank you. the u.n. security council is preparing to meet in an emergency session to discuss the military coup in myanmar governments around the world have condemned yesterday seizure of power the u.s. is threatening to re-impose sanctions to try and force the generals to stand down myanmar's former leader aung sang suu kyi has been detained and hundreds of officials are confined inside government housing compounds. calm amidst the political storm. people in the city of yangon adjusting to a new reality of military rule. a state of emergency has been declared for one year
12:07 pm
. despite calls for resistance by former defacto leader aung sang suu kyi residents of me on mars the largest city are hesitant. we've waited for 72 hours but people won't go on the street in protest everyone knows the military has guns and they are used to shooting people i think people will find another way to protest. we are very timid and we can't say anything i'm afraid of them. many international leaders have expressed alarm over the coup the u.s. underscored its the port for democracy and me on mar also known as burma after saying it was quote taking note of those who stand with the people of burma in this difficult hour. i think it's a message to all countries in the region and countries who you know
12:08 pm
will be asked to respond or to consider what the appropriate response will be in reaction to the events that happened over the past couple of days in the capital naif hundreds of lawmakers are confined in government housing complexes which are being guarded by soldiers. the military said seizing power was necessary after the government failed to act on claims of election fraud. on facebook the ruling national league for democracy party appealed to the military to free those detained and are november's election results which handed the n l d a landslide victory. they were the 2nd democratic elections in myanmar after a transition from decades of military rule now there are fears the country could slide back to its old ways. and for more on that let's bring in felix has
12:09 pm
a researcher for the asia division at s.w.o.p. the german institute for international and security affairs welcome to the program and thank you for joining us do you see a path out of this political crisis and myanmar. at the moment not really to be honest the coup. has created a new status quo. alluded to. in the leadership the fact or has been detained. this military patrolling this is key areas and key cities at the moment i don't see really a way out i also do not see the military. reacting to international pressure that will come one way or the other the u.n. why are you the u.s. and other states and organizations are going to leave i do not see
12:10 pm
a quick way i don't know why is that i'd like to ask you why you're skeptical about the results that international pressure can have in myanmar because you know over the past years we have seen mixed results from the international community on me on maher there was limited action following the crackdown against we're going to muslims for example in the country and in 2017 is it just because of a lack of consistency with regard to me on maher or is it something else. well i think it's a lot more not causal in the sense that they have i think at least 2 main factors here not just one want to be surely this inconsistent messaging. they are countries. like china. who are more reserved and present other countries into other paths but it's also if you look closer there's the aussie on the association of southeast asia. where you can already see a split between countries like malaysia indonesia. who are more forceful when it
12:11 pm
comes and more or. quite a coup and there are other countries for it if you can check the statements by the top government but also by the philippines who kind of treated as an internal affair and kind of share. from putting pressure on myanmar so if i sit on this that's the one factor the other factor is domestic there is a long history of the top model of the burmese military being in one way or the other immune to international criticism and and sanctions i mean the country has basically existed as the pariah state for decades and in the in the in the in the in the i is in in the sense of many in the military and many conservatives in the country been do all right with that so it wouldn't surprise me if this mentality and this outlook will also one way or the other determined. the actions and the
12:12 pm
interest of the current military leadership in myanmar felix from the german institute for international and security affairs thank you so much thanks for having me. let's get a check of some other stories making news around the world today workers conducting brags that tax on food and animal products at one of northern ireland's ports have been taken off duty over concerns for their safety graffiti appeared close to the larne a port saying that all staff are targets there's been a rise in tension recent weeks regs that means that customs checks have shifted away from the land border with the republic of ireland into northern ireland supports. turkish president recha typer to one says that he would discuss drafting a new constitution for turkey with his party's allies he criticised the current constitution for containing traces of military influence in 2018 turfy transition

to a presidential system that concentrated power in air to one's hands. and out of control wildfire has destroyed dozens of homes close to the city of perth in western australia authorities have told many people living in the vicinity to be prepared to fight the blaze at this as it is now too dangerous for them to leave their properties. while the coronavirus pandemic is pushing hospitals in portugal to the brink of collapse the country has the highest number of new cases in the world as a new variant of the virus 1st tech to in britain spreads out of control the situation has become so critical that portugal is now asking for urgent help from other european countries a team of doctors and equipment from germany is expected to arrive today this is the 2nd field hospital being built on this university campus and respond with a few dates this time the basketball court is being converted into

12:16 pm
think that solidarity is the one positive thing to have come out of the crisis and the fact that germany and other european countries are now offering help is giving an international dimension to that feeling of solidarity well german chancellor angela merkel has said the coronavirus vaccines will be offered to everyone in germany by the end of the summer she was speaking after talks with key players involved in the vaccine drive including the firms producing delays have dodged the procurement and the rollout of facts and merkel has come under fire for allowing the european commission to take the lead in securing the shots. michael says the vaccine supplies will remain tight for the next few months but that the pace of the vaccination drive will soon pick up. does this by the end of the 3rd quarter but at the end of the summer we'll be able to offer every citizen
12:17 pm
a vaccine. that said the manufacturers and also told us today that something that they can't will see can always occur during production and they also will have no prior experience of this but i think the numbers for the different quarters overall are already very relevant. and let's bring in our chief political correspondent linda crane lend out walk us through the messaging here it sounds like merkel is saying this is a marathon not a sprint. absolutely it was very clear from yesterday's vaccine summit that the supply that that of the vaccine will remain tight for at least another 8 weeks and only begin to ease up in the 2nd quarter of this year and moreover it was very clear that german leaders are looking far beyond this year alone the health minister said that he wants to ensure that adequate stocks of vaccine are in place throughout 2022 as well and the chancellor went even further
12:18 pm
saying that she could foresee it a possibility that we might have to keep on vaccinating against coded every year in something resembling the flu vaccine campaigns and she said she also wanted to point out that no matter how much vaccine is on hand if mutations occur that in fact render the current version of the virus not amenable to vaccination then we would have to start all over again so there is a realistic messaging from the chance there about this being a long haul absolutely you know and the one thing is the availability of the vaccine the other thing is the willingness actually of the population to to go and take it to go and get the shot walk us through the current climate right now and whether it appears to get to that enough people will want to get it voluntarily in
12:19 pm
order to achieve that critical herd immunity if that's necessary. right so we heard the chancellor saying all adults who want to be vaccinated will be able to be vaccinated by the end of the summer but the key word in that sentence is what how many do want to be vaccinated well there most of the most recent polls show that from 63 to 67 percent of adult german say they do want the vaccine and that is a significant increase over mid december where we were looking at more like half the population also medical experts say that they expect to see that number go up as people see their friends and neighbors and family members getting vaccinated and see that the side effects are limited or nonexistent and interestingly enough the willingness to vaccinate correlates quite closely with the levels of trust in the government as
12:20 pm
a whole so clearly the government viewed this vaccine summit also as a trust building measure to get the information out to people about why it is important to get vaccinated one community there especially eager to reach medical workers interesting lee enough many of them have said that they would hold back in getting vaccinated until they see how things are working and there's also a lot of discussion here now whether special privileges should be given it to those who do get the vaccine with a pretty large majority of german saying they don't want to see that coming to 2 class system debbie in chief political correspondent melinda crane breaking it down for us thank you so much. now to the united states where much of the east coast is being hammered by a major winter storm causing widespread disruption cities including new york and boston have even suspended their coronavirus vaccination programs as they breaks

12:33 pm
to scoring. the performances that followed may have had something to do with germany coach in lurve being in the stadium the world cup winning rejects seemed particularly motivated jerome but tang for example . is good. his 1st goal since january 28th scene and from this point onwards by and were firmly in the driving seat. it was time for another germany rejects to take center stage robot live and he set up none other than tomas miller to make it to nil for the hosts. melo was left unmarked outside the box and he took advantage to school his 10th goal of the season. maybe live should come to buying games more often as
12:34 pm
a motivational coach perhaps. the game looked all but over as in a tough time but there was a glimmer of hope for hoffenheim after all was andrei crammer rich pulled one back . illust there they do with the perfect cross for the croatian striker to tap home from close range and bring back some very bad memories. course we remember what happened in hof and. we definitely want to prove that we can read a mail stops. couldn't how could we forget match day to buy and lost for one in hoffenheim their only defeat in 2020 in all competitions including the champions league cram rich was the star performer that day scoring 2 of hoffenheim scholes and becoming an instant transfer target for the club which evidently hasn't come to fruition. those painful
12:35 pm
memories briefly came back and hoffenheim had a chance to pull level after the break. but christophe baumgartner failed to convert. proof of the crime rich simply is the best finisher inhofe and i. find when going to blow their chance 10 minutes later after their mini crisis in january with defeats in the league and the german cup they're back on their feet. robot live and dusty made it through he won. his 24th goal of the campaign the poland international is on track to break gadd miller's record of 40 goals in a season. by this point by and were rolling full steam ahead hoffenheim without a chance. by and got their revenge and scored another.

12:37 pm
who was going to keep up with buying it that was the tenor of this match is 2nd place leipsic took on 3rd place laver who isn't and those hoping for a touch of master class football will be bitterly disappointed. this game resembled a playground bust up. with 2 of the big strongest defensive teams facing off it was no surprise that they snuffed each other out. although homesite leipzig did have the upper hand on occasion in the 1st half. and none of the 7 attempts on goal troubled living couzens look out for their ski. think it's normal when they're too good to a good team cinnabon as they go on it's most important game for both teams and it's
12:38 pm
not all that scientology and on the pitch that overall leipsic had 16 shots on target to live a couzens 8 continuous effort was rewarded in the 50th minutes. by christopher and cuckoo broke the deadlock he was like 6 most vibrant player with 4 shots during the game. but wrong footing for opponents with this silky smooth move to school was undoubtedly the best moment of the match. this encounter was dominated by pressing from both sides and an exciting one to watch for the tacticians among us and a more casual fan maybe less so. although life's a case in the woodwork for the 13th time this season got pulses racing ever so briefly. today we're playing against a very good competitor for the champs the qualifications are us
12:39 pm
a very important game and 3 points for us. in the end leverkusen well harmless as they have been since their defeat to buy and in december in the 6 games since then they've only managed to pick up 4 points for perspective that's the same as bottom of the table shall come by. piece of course the site had an incredible start of the season and were considered a genuine title contenders. he now has to make sure leverkusen don't become all surrounds. you have to score when you want to win and. we fail to score at the moment that's not in. so we have to be really quick. it was quite the tussle in life suggest edge the win to keep the gap between themselves and by and at 7 points anyone else willing to give buying a run for their money to see how other teams fared in the compact. half.
