security officials from russia and this could mean if he if he gets real jail time today this could mean that he gets several years in prison for a case that essentially the european court of human rights has ruled to be arbitrary and on reasonable that's a ruling from 2017 so this is kind of an old case against him that they are essentially rehashing now to give him jail time it seems. sparked massive protests across russia what is the situation. well there were also some supporters of the outside the courtroom today this morning on my saw around 100 people gathering perhaps more outside the courthouse despite the fact that police had essentially closed off various roads leading up to the courthouse and the area around it and there was

a huge police presence on the streets some of his supporters came out today and there were dozens of arrests over $200.00 according to some independent observers and this of course comes after mass protests that happened this past week and arabs last weekend as well and many of the protesters at those demonstrations told me that this yes this is about not viney but it's more about what this case against him stands for what they see as arbitrariness as a lack of the rule of the rule of law in russia and also people who are complaining about the fact that the political elite as they see it is corrupt in russia including putin himself. to vladimir putin. well i think these mass protests like essentially any street protests are

a threat to the kremlin. basically street protests are the nightmare are the main nightmare that the kremlin has i would say especially because these protests were not just in moscow and st petersburg but across the entire country which is unusual for russia now we have heard today from the kremlin and they say the spokesperson for the kremlin says that putin is not following this trial at all he's busy doing other things and they also called on european diplomats who are at the court today not to put pressure on the court they say the fact that they are there at all is essentially meddling by european and western countries in russia's internal affairs and really show in moscow thank you very well russia's a sputnik the big coverage vaccine is around 92 percent effective that's according to a new study just published in the british medical journal the lancet or the findings

are based on data from a trial involving nearly 20000 people researchers also found no serious side effects associated with its use the russian vaccine consists of 2 common cold viruses that have been modified to carry the spike protein the vaccine can be stored up to 8 degrees celcius making it easier to transport than the bone take a pfizer vaccine. well jones is the professor of iran as you know the university of reading who will review the russian clinical data for the lancet and joins us now welcome to d w this sounds like great news. yes i think it is good news it's the numbers involved slightly over 20000 actually in the trial was big enough to be sure of the outcome and the fact that there was general protection of across all age groups and there were no serious side effects is old good for the vaccine i think it adds to another dimensions of those that are currently licensed for use to

correct the world and clearly it adds small manufacturing base to the to the available covert vaccines and what about its efficacy against a variance that are circulating well formally that hasn't been tested but the tests that have been done on on variance so far would indicate that most of the vaccine responses that have been looked at cost still able to inhibit the the variance sequences you know whether that is 100 percent protection know whether the protection is reduced someone else is not yet clear but i think the protection level that we would expect would still be enough to say to me lots of ear disease was prevented from my money that's the most important aspect of any of these vaccines that there's been a lot of skepticism generally outside scientific circles i suppose about this. vaccine should that skepticism and now i think so i think the full phase 3

trial is published at the same time as the outcome of the trial the shuttle is there for everybody to see is being conducted in a far as i can see to an international standard and i think the results fully validated its use going forward that you describe the russian trial group though as a very white so what does this mean that countries with more ethnically diverse populations need to approach it with caution. cool shit may be overstating it so i think there's no reason to think that the vaccine wouldn't be generally useful in all populations but it is a fact that the particular ethnic mix here was rather narrow it was white russians in the main and so if there is an issue about it's of unity you know the populations that formally that's not addressed here. i don't think we would expect to see major differences it's certainly something that this trial can also trust

directly we're talking to you a bit of good news on a doctor a professor in jones from the university of reading. german drugs make a bomb tech says it's proton ing to produce $2000000000.00 doses of its corona virus vaccine this year has more than 50 percent on its initial projected output you know when it comes to ass german chancellor i'm going to macro says that anyone who wants a vaccine will be offered one by the end of the summer but promises giving rise to the idea of issuing passports for people who have been immunized supporters say this would allow people to return to normal life critics however fear it could violate data protection laws evan schneider is taking on the coronavirus the chief administrator arranged independently to develop a digital vaccination certificate in outing after 2 injections you get it for free within. i think we're the only ones in europe perhaps even in the entire world to

have a big companies like oracle or microsoft are still working on it we've already got it from and this is the vaccination certificate on it some personal data as well as the name of the vaccine and data vaccination to make it more secure and correspond to data protection laws schneider had the various district data processing center take part the info is now included on smartphones. my hope to perhaps travel again and perhaps get a bit more freedom. now an alliance of high tech companies in the us are working together with health organizations to also develop a digital vaccination passport it could even become a model for the world health organization to use the international air transport association is also testing out possible health certificates with airlines using an app passengers can check in and display their covert test results with this i at

all hopes mass tourism will take off again. ultimately people want to be able to have unlimited travel again without going into quarantine that's also something the european union would like to regulate at its latest summit the $27.00 member states discussed what could be done some countries are pushing hard for a similar vaccination certificate. there's no other way around not having at the beginning a uniform system for all 200 nations on this planet however i have my concerns if companies which are well known for other things collect excessive amounts of personal data and are also the ones who would have access to sensitive data about people's health. could there also be a 2 tier system such as less vigorous rules for people who've been vaccinated for corona virus than for those who haven't critics fear there might even be a vaccination certificate elite with more privileges other problems to. example we

don't know whether people who've been vaccinated could still be carriers and as long as we don't know that then a vaccination passport or whatever it's called is of no use to us. meanwhile the bavarian district of outing doesn't want to wait for the e.u. and keeps handing out its own vaccination certificates its biggest wish though is to return to normalcy. so there are other reasons to be cautious about the idea of vaccination certificates and d.-w. reporter joel dolan has been looking into the flourishing online market for corona virus scans welcome joel what have you found well any time you create a system someone is going to find a way to get around it so at the moment many countries require you to carry a negative covert 19 test result if you want to travel for example if you were to cross in from the u.k. to to europe or if you want to enter the usa well now europol which is europe's policing coordination body is warning travelers against buying fraudulent covert 19

test statistic it's they say they recently busted a gang selling them at a paris airport for example and is it dot to get a fake negative test i'm asking for a friend so we decided to try and find out here a d w and we did so using the messaging app telegram where you'll find channels of people offering all sorts of nefarious goods and services we can have a look now so basically we just did a search for covert 19 terrorists and we found one russian channel offering to sell us a negative certificate we told them we're going from the u.k. and into the u.s. and out telegram friend offered to sell us one for 15 us dollars which is actually a lot cheaper than a real test might be in some places well i want to see what we were going to get for our money so i asked them to send us a sample and here's what they sent us basically it is a result from a laboratory instant pittsburgh which would be presumably altered using photoshop to include all the necessary details but there was

a catch the scammer warned us that the q.r. code there at the top would not work if it was ever stand by any particular authority which is pretty nice when you think about it the scanner was telling us that his product wouldn't there was warning us so this is a pretty low 5 of a scam or of a forgery and it's the sort of thing that you could actually create yourself using photoshop but basically this goes to show that if you are. willing to try and get around a coronavirus regulation you base basically going to find somebody on learning online you can offer to help you do that ok so that's been 1000 test results what about vaccinations that if he gets well i did look around to see if anybody was offering those online as well i couldn't find any possibly because they don't actually exist yet there are no universal vaccination passports except for the one that we saw that that german town says that they are pioneering now right now various authorities are working on them the world health organization is trying to create international standards airlines

a court trying to come up with their own systems but of course you can be sure as soon as there is a digital system you're going to find someone offering to help you get around that as well just like the virus itself corona virus scams are going to be very difficult to stamp out joe donnelly thank you for that. and we'll take a look at some more of the stories are making news around the world will start in australia where an out of control wildfire has destroyed dozens of homes close to the city of perth in western australia. has told people living in the area to be prepared to fight the blaze themselves as it's now too dangerous for them to leave . turkish president urged one has announced that he is considering drafting a new national constitution with his party's allies criticize the current constitution for containing traces of military influence in 2018 to go to a presidential system that concentrated power in advance hons. work is conducting

generals and their cronies in the business elite were still rich now you could have targeted economic sanctions where you'd just pinpoint the economic interest of a few generals or many generals but some of them already facing those type of targeted sanctions including the commander in chief of the military senior gentleman on he's already facing targeted sanctions and he still went for with the coup on monday so again any economic sanctions are like that have little impact on this issue of the generals make they would have already made these calculations before going forward with the coup now a key player in this well that would be china they were the best friend economically of the old dictatorship that ruled this country until 10 years ago if they back up economically the new regime well that would give the generals even less incentive to reverse to reverse course. they've been about the u.s. senate is gearing up for donald trump's 2nd impeachment trial the former president has until today tuesday to formally respond to the charge against him is accused of

pretty much the only visual signs and reminders of what had happened on generally 6 here but behind the curtains and behind the doors the investigation into what happened and who is responsible for this it's in full gear hundreds of 50 i agents at headquarters in washington and from dozens of field offices all across the u.s. are following thousands of leads federal agents are sifting through an unprecedented amount of evidence including at least 2 100000 digital tipoffs from various sources media platforms. at least 300 people are under active investigation and at least 150 have been arrested so far officials say this was just the 1st face of what they say is an investigation of unprecedented scope the investigation will shift a little bit from low hanging fruit off people let's say who filled themselves attacking and getting into the capital committing one crime or another it will shift now into

a more complex and. complicated why is that because now the f.b.i. will look into conspiracy in organisation in organized crime how much was organized of this attack what was the suit the level of sophistication in preparing for the attack and who was involved. federal authorities say they are in for the long haul when it comes to their investigations and answering these and other questions back on capitol hill the temporary fence surrounding much of it will perhaps also remain for longer than originally planned the interim chief of the capitol police wanted to become a permanent fixture stay with us for much of the east coast has been hit by a major winter storm causing widespread disruptions cities including new york and boston have even suspended coronavirus vaccination programs as they prepare for what may be a record breaking pleasant. authorities started sending out winter storm warnings
