the fact that the only conquest and i was in chad stored your sort of place chimneys and how and when someone who was it was a child soldier and soldier came. and exaggeration are actually a lot of who are saw an obese was many questions that was how low did the end of the judge say that. when it was fully responsible of all loans that it did in order country that you have mentioned previously what role did his victims play in the trial. so we have to know that there was. 4000 victim death. specific trial according to the i.c.c. and this was. the wheel off the i.c.c. for these people to fight he paid and also sure there was during the entire process people participate also because there was a hearing and there was screaming in leg 25 little kind of team where people

able or entire case actually regarding hilarie when he bashes d.w. correspondent in brussels thank you thank you so. let's take a look at some developments in the corona virus pandemic the world economic forum has again postponed its 2021 meeting due to the pandemic the business summit plans to meet in singapore this august instead of the swiss resort of davos a t.v. ad by airline ryanair has been banned as irresponsible by the u.k. advertising standards agency it says the slogan jab and go could lead to people flouting coronavirus restrictions and u.k. researchers say that one dose of the pfizer biotech vaccine gives about 96 percent protection from cold in 19 after 21 days their findings are based on an analysis of israel's vaccination program. well the technology being used in

a number of covert 1000 vaccines also promises to become a powerful new weapon in the fight against another disease cancer as today marks world cancer day we take a closer look at the new approach that uses an anti cancer treatment tailor made for each patients it uses so called memory r.n.a. and could be again hunter for cancer sufferers. a customized vaccine created for an individual patients particular tumor fast infective and with few side effects that's the promise of a new am r.n.a. technology in the fight against cancer. malignant tumors can slip past the body's defenses for years with camouflage so clever that the immune system doesn't notice the invader or it is too weak to keep the cancer cells at bay allowing the tumor to grow on the hindered. typical treatment involves surgery followed by chemotherapy to destroy any leftover cells it comes into to fix in

a doctor can't change the biology of this disease we know that latent tumor cells can survive inside the body for a long time and they can wake up and start to divide and proliferate again some of them if you know for me m z. the messenger r.n.a. vaccine is a totally different approach it's injected into mosul tissue where it provides the blueprint for a specific tumor protein once it has the blueprint the body then produces its own tumor modules the immune system recognizes them as foreign and produces antibodies . the body is now armed with knowledge of its enemy wasn't it's basically reversing the production process instead of making it and a laboratory with all the technical procedures it starts out inside the patient's body which ultimately produces it on its own to teach the immune system what it needs. to know. this is. the m r n

a vaccine and the study is made by german pharma company beyond tech whose coated $1000.00 vaccine is based on the same technology cure of ak and the us based moderna are also using an r.n.a. technology in the fight against cancer as well as covert the goal is to give cancer sufferers personalized vaccinations in the near future. this is i'm losing my that this is a real milestone we're no longer talking about months or years until it's ready just weeks well its significance and potential efficacy have opened up a whole new playing field and guns lawyers. much work remains to be done but oncologists worldwide are confident that the new technology will become a powerful weapon in the fight against cancer. and here are some other stories making news around the world germany's ethics council has rejected the concept of

vaccine has for its council says it is unacceptable to lift covert 19 restrictions on an individual basis because vaccinated people may still spread the virus but the council made one exception saying that those who are vaccinated should be allowed to visit relatives in elderly care homes and hospices. syrian state media has accused israel of launching missile strikes from the disputed goal on heights the britain based syrian observatory for human rights says that israel targeted a military post for regime forces and pro running militias syria's anti air defenses were tallied it israel has not confirmed or denied the operation. pollies have staged a nationwide strike to protest the best solution of parliament at least $77.00 protesters including a former minister were arrested in the capital cup on do parliament was dissolved on december 28th at the direction of the prime minister and new elections were

announced for april and may. the united kingdom's nidia watchdog off com has revoked the broadcasting license of china state owned channel c g t n m says that the company that owns the u.k. license for china's global english language news channel doesn't have a day to day control over the album which is against its rules c g t n open to studios in london in 2019 and was carried on satellite networks in the u.k. . russia. spring and robert jr he is senior lecturer and critical digital media practice at lancaster university in the u.k. welcome to the program and thank you so much for joining us what's behind this decision well i think there were some some questions in changes about the ownership in the oversight as you g.m. was proposing and it was an application that was pressed for that u.k.

officials they didn't necessarily like and so this means that it's going to be harder for them to be operating in the u.k. as a license to really outlet. but i think it's there's a larger issue here and when the u.k. or any government is concerned about whether there are editorial control is over the content that's being put forth on. the broadcast outlet or any outlet for that matter about whether it's which state run propaganda or not and that sort of judgment comes down and has a bit of a slippery slope in terms of the government censoring other governments but also governments making decisions about what media are broadcast in terms of what messages are being sent in and how that relates to other geopolitical landscapes and given all those factors why do you think this is happening now. well i think you know the job political environment of the world is and is in constant flux in

nations or are constantly battling out for who gets to say what where and when so it's really unclear if there was a particular geo political event itself that has has led to this or if it's really a holding of relationships that we're seeing with china particularly as you are seeing a new new president in the united states and that's going to mean new ways of dealing with some of the powerhouses on the political stage but we also have to remind the u.k. that its own view you see is state run and tom jones and a lot of other scholars out there have been quite critical of the b.b.c.'s own. autonomy as it were from from the government and we should remember that p.b.s. and n.p.r. very popular public broadcasting stations in the united states are also owned by the government though in both of these cases they would say that there are there is autonomous oversight in the content that they produce ok important factors to

consider what was c.t.'s reach in the here k. . well you know pretty frankly i haven't had the chance to to find that but but the reach whether it's great or small may not be as necessarily as important as the decision itself and what factors go into those decisions i mean any time a government says that another station or another broadcast should be suspect because of its content and its production its is concerning you know we live in a democratic states that should be open to all sorts of. commentary particularly in a social media world and i think that decision itself more than whether people can access or operate in a nation well that certainly is important we should be concerned about the silencing robert good to junior senior lecturer in critical digital media practice at one test university in the u.k.

thanks so much. thanks yanmar as military has cut the country off from facebook just days after seizing control it comes after people flocked to the social media platform to voice opposition to the coup which ousted elected leader aung sang suu kyi on monday among those opposing the power grab our medical staff who say that they refuse to work for the military government the coup has also sparked international condemnation including the united nations. and this video and she could protesters in mandalay on thursday bush said on social media it could be one of the last for a while. resistance to the coup had been surging on facebook with cool specific disobedience the popple must also often used by the now ousted government to make announcements but the new military government's move to block facebook

twitter and apps including instagram and whatsapp has left many in the dock. yet we have no access to any news no news about mother and son searching i feel so sad it gives me a pain in my chest. blocking facebook means that the freedom of young people is restricted this military care has started costing us our jobs and our education is now in trouble. with soldiers back on the streets of major cities most of the protests have been under the cover of darkness residents in yangon bank parts of the night and honked car hands. among those who have openly shown opposition a medical personnel who have declared they won't work for the military government. i mean you know this government was not elected and verted for by us we don't accept them work under their command so we have stopped providing services

a government hospitals instead we will consider providing free medical services through external doctors and in other ways. it comes after the detainment of on the sponsor cheek and of a civilian leave us on monday funding the southeast asian nation under military rule suchi who has not been seen in public since she was detained is being charged for illegally importing walkie talkies the military has justified its crew by alleging widespread voter fraud during november's election which so suchi win by a landslide. and we are joined now by dave greene a bomb is a journalist who has been covering the anwar for many years he joins us now from kuala lumpur dave we understand that the junta has now put off facebook where many people were expressing opposition to the coup organizing civil disobedience therefore what impact is this likely to have on efforts to resist. it's certainly a blow because facebook is king of social media in myanmar

a lot of people the only thing they know when it comes to social media the only thing they know when it comes to the web in fact just last year during the campaign season a lot of a political campaign because of course in 1000 happened on facebook now a lot of people say well you know you can give virtual private networks weekends to try to get around the block but the quality of the pm the cost of that is beyond the means of a lot of people and medium are. ok so so then what happens next i mean are there other steps that the country is also taking that the security forces are taking to counter opposition it will 1st of obviously people will find other means of my will is could slow things down but look just 10 years ago most of the people most country to me but i have a phone and of course we know in the past that there were massive demonstrations the security systems those security forces they haven't stenson of network of informants or some people would call rats there are neighborhoods across the cities there or in the villages across the country and they lean on these informants to

provide information on what people are planning what people are saying what they plan to do and when they plan to do it so it becomes extremely important for the people of myanmar to think really hard about who they know how well do they know them and who can they really trust wow those are really a lot of factors to consider but we know that some people are deciding to speak out to step out for example today on the streets mandalay we the country's 2nd biggest city at least 3 people were arrested for taking part in demonstrations are further demonstrations expected. well you'll certainly continue to see the pots you can bang at night behind you but aren't the ribbon wearing campaign but are we going to see a real organized mass mobilization massive numbers thousands of people marching on the streets of yangon or mandalay are all their cities in the country that would be a huge risk for these people to take it would send

a powerful message around the world a message that to the coup leaders the military leaders would not want to see out there the risk though is that they might respond violently the military might respond with deadly force has as happened in years past they have grabbed from kuala lumpur thank you so much should think for a while an immediate shake up over in the ukraine the cover country's government has shut down several pro russian television channels allegedly financed by an oligarch with personal ties to vladimir putin ukrainian president followed amir selenski claimed the band was needed to fight kremlin propaganda critics accuse him of stifling free speech for. independent objectivity dots with journalists at 3 ukrainian news channel say it's under threat $11.00 to news one in seek are no longer in ukrainian t.v. the broadcasters say it's the start of an era of laws as to who would you put in

the day 3 for channel so stop broadcasting what does it mean for free speech and what does it mean for ukrainians of us to pray. for me since the government shut down the channels have been blasting president vladimir selenski the opposition session ukrainian leaders scared to reporting is damaging his government in the opinion polls. some ukrainian journalist say the channels have a point they believe the government's decision threatens freaks pression in a fragile democracy but honestly it brought the top if we're against the president not being said here where the government of this country decides to impose sanctions against a media company based on a political consensus. that will last them for a month but for others the channels pose a threat to the country's security they say the broadcasters provide a voice to ukraine's enemies the government alleges that a close friend of law to be a putin ukrainian veteran met the joke is hiding his ownership of the television stations and that he's using them to broadcast news that undermine the country in

its fight with russia over crimea in eastern ukraine. after receiving enough the evidence of those channels being financed by russian forces by russian authorities the national security council over ukraine adopted these very important decisions for now the channels are still broadcasting on the internet but that could change ukraine's government is asking you to take them offline you know you're going to turn into a card list and now where patriarchical tradition still determines life for many women there are pressured to provide their husbands with sons to carry on the family name and are forced to keep having children until they have a long form boy our reporter emily sherwin went to meet a woman whose marriage cracked under that's strange. the name means the long awaited son is

a son after 4 daughters. one son and a quiet family life that was all amr yusupov all wanted her husband left her almost 5 years ago when she was pregnant with her 5th child the ultrasound scan showed it was going to be another girl to everyone's surprise she ended up giving birth to a boy. but her husband was already gone in kyrgyzstan having a son to carry on the family name is still an important tradition even during her 1st pregnancy with i get him who's 11 years old now husband pressured her to get an abortion you saw these girls his own daughters as a burden to. marry them off he kept saying girls aren't people they just marry into other families anyway i need an air i need a son that's what he said and that's why we separated. along

with her 5 children and her parents. lives on the outskirts of the care gives capital she can't work at the moment because she's taking care of her mother who has cancer the family lives off benefits of around 130 euros a month having 2 cows and a few chickens helps. is grateful for the life she leads even though things can be tough her husband had an alcohol problem and used to beat her. he drank all the time every day when i lived with my husband i was always afraid when evening came i thought now he'll come home drunk and it'll all start over again i lived with those thoughts every day now i don't have that at night the kids and i calmly go to sleep and in the morning we get. women and men have the same legal rights in kyrgyzstan they have since the soviet era but

patriarchal tradition still determines life here for many even in the capital women usually keep having children until they give birth to at least one son and girls sometimes are given 1st names like enough names that show they were on wanted. if they didn't give birth to a boy women feel somehow inadequate even before they start their own families women see the way their parents treat their brothers and how they react to the birth of a son that makes women feel that it's absolutely necessary for them to have a son of their own. pressure all too well she accepts the 10 years with her husband as part of her fate as what god gave her but she says her family is much happier without him. i want my daughters to grow up to be conscientious and dutiful. and i want their husbands to

be dutiful to i don't want my daughters to go through what i went through i want them to have a happier life. says she loves all her children equally a good education and most importantly a happy family that's what she hopes for for her son and her daughters. and with that now you're up to date here on news i'm sarah kelly in berlin thank you so much for watching take care.
