fabricated a way of intimidating his supporters. will go the board all of these officers and this cage it's not a show of strength it shows their weakness. they are weak. and they cannot jail thousands or even millions of people. outside the cavalry arrived early. lines of riot police stood in front of the court not to keep in of on the end but to keep his supporters out. as the day progressed police detained hundreds of supporters would come to show their solidarity. age was no barrier this woman stood her ground in defiance. as night fell on mosque out the protests grew.

but so did the presence of police in riot gear and the arrests. the tension is a price these protesters are willing to pay to speak their mind. we're going to get you i don't want my children to grow up in the same conditions i did alex say is trying to do something at least you know bali has just been wrongly convicted the country will never be free if this or do so and the courts behave like this it looks like they will soon start beating us with a baton but we came out so that our children won't be beaten with batons in the future. soon enough the police proved him right. there but chance directed indiscriminately at anyone in the crowd. in the volley supporters are taking risks in the hope the next generation won't have to. earlier i spoke to our moscow bureau chief here a shechita. i mean that many people across the country were shocked by the scenes

at last night's protests of war and to that many protests across russia like that will last a beacon for example but i can imagine that everyone who saw the pictures from last night from here in moscow or santa petersburg was stopped all is shocked because that the police will not only suffer this time they also arrested the people at the random dreck to them out of the coffee skull to them in the lanes in the narrow streets pool to them out of the doorways and beat them i saw for example of the doing beach a colleague of mine who had to the vest with the clearest sign press was hit with a baton by the police for no reason aesthetics enough ali i think people in russia now have all too much more respect for him and not only behind bars in the valley as a symbol of protest in russia is more dangerous with me putin than a real politician lida because as the ruble efficiently there he was just known for not being inclined to cooperate and it's all ancient in prison now he will become

a symbol of resistance and contest that the positionally that kind of russian nelson mandela. or most of your chief yuri rachet are there on election of on these frozen zones well new data show that russia's sputnik v vaccine is more than 90 percent effective western governments are initially expressed doubts about the vaccine because russia started using it before completing the usual clinical trials but now results published in the leading medical journal the lancet appear to back up russian claims that the job is both safe and effective as we report hungary has already begun using the vaccine. truckloads of russia rolling into hungary the 1st 14000 some 2000000 doses ordered the distribution of vaccines in the european union just not quick enough for hungary. the faster we vaccinate the weakest segments of society the quicker we can lift restrictions on public life. those we've just got

to chicago dash out sputnik beat was the 1st vaccine developed to fight cold at 19 russia began vaccinating people with it last summer even though clinical trials were underway hungary's emergency gave the vaccine the green light that's because sputnik fee has already been administered at least a $1000000.00 times without any serious side effects so hungry has decided to sidestep the e.u.'s common procurement policy. in very strict conditions and conditions under very specific criteria and then the member state is. russia's promising enough with its vaccine for 700000000 people sputnik vs more than 91 percent effective according to a study published on tuesday and the medical journal the lancet the raw data used in the study has not yet been released unfortunately that's exactly what the european medicines agency needs. when the agency gets the data in the proper form so they can check it as with other manufacturers then i can't see why the vaccine

can't be approved in europe. germany's chancellor agrees yes every vaccine is welcome but only those that supply the necessary data and are approved by the a.m.a. will be accepted. it said the virus knows no boundaries if the data is correct that can also apply to vaccines. there was going to america learn that report speaking on prime time german t.v. tuesday evening the chancellor gave a wide ranging interview focusing on the many concerns surrounding the call. around a virus pandemic let's bring indeed obvious chief political correspondent melinda crane well into on the sputnik v shocked america was clear that no vaccine will be allowed in germany until it's been approved by the european medicines agency how does she justify that when germany is spacing a back saying shortage. well this is the policy of european votes i thought oh

isn't that the chancellor has set for germany it's the policy that she quite adamant that defended at her government's vaccine summit on monday and it's a policy that reflects her deeply held conviction that germany must act in common with europe and let me just remind all of us that europe in fact comprises the 1st chapter in this government's coalition agreement germany has in the past of course sometimes gone its own way and under chancellor merkel getting out of nuclear energy for example after fukushima or its decision to take in migrants in the summer of 2015 and frankly the repercussions of those decisions were very problematic for this country also there is a pragmatic consideration here the fact is that even with quick approval of the russian vaccine would not be available in europe until the 2nd quarter of this

year and as we did hear from the government on monday the supply shortages were current currently seeing are going to ease anyway in the 2nd quarter the chancellor says even with office supplies that are currently in the pipeline definitely germany will be able to meet its goal of vaccinating everybody by the end of the summer. well into this is a rather awkward moment for e.u. russian relations isn't it diplomatically you've got the e.u. on the one hand condemning russia for its treatment of alexei no bonnie and on the other hand looking longingly at this vaccine possibility sputnik the. absolutely it's a very complicated moment to be doing business with russia but i do think cooperation on the vaccine can be distinguished from other forms of business relations that directly benefit the elites associated with president putin politicians from across the political spectrum here in germany are saying that they

see no obstacles to the using the russian vaccine and to co-producing it here in europe i think the bigger question right now is whether germany should be continuing to pursue a project like the north stream gas i play which does benefit those russian elite and which is absolutely opposed by a number of other european partners and by the new u.s. administration and just a word about hungary which decided to break ranks with this european partners and go ahead and use the sputnik vaccine which is what does that mean well pedigreed is basically exactly the other side of the coin from america's determination to proceed most highly laterally hungary is 1 going it alone on a number of different fronts including it's undermining the rule of law and democracy domestically and we're also seeing hungry now ordering the chinese

vaccine from the chinese company sino farm so i think what we're absolutely seeing is hungry skim it meant to doing a hungry 1st type approach exactly what the chancellor doesn't what what the thank you so much w.'s cheap political correspondent will the new crane. so you look smaller stories making headlines today italy's president said give matter ellis says the latest round of talks to form a new government there have failed he's expected to tap former european central bank chief mario draghi to take over as caretaker prime minister later in a bid to avoid snap elections amid the pandemic the previous government collapsed last month after a small party withdrew its support. the world health organization experts have visited a research center in the chinese city of han as part of their investigation into the origins of the corona virus pandemic. is where the virus was 1st thought to have crossed over from animals to humans although china has disputed this. and
