9:09 am
even though there were efforts made after that instilled unusual to approve any further construction however to what the government has been criticized for doing back some of these were some of these was when they came in the bar for the 1st time nothing but a 40 messages are there live for us thank you michelle. and that's a look at some of the other headlines around the world south africa has suspended its rollout of the office for astra zeneca corona virus vaccine as more clinical trials suggested to the vaccine offered only minimal protection against the new covert variant present in the country authorities say they will offer vaccines by johnson and johnson and pfizer in the coming weeks. bestest candidates underestimate ours has won a 1st round victory in ecuador's presidential election early estimates if they have more than 32 percent of the votes will advance to a runoff scheduled for april 11th 2 candidates are neck and neck for 2nd place.

israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has arrived at a jerusalem court for the resumption of his corruption trial is in yahoo is accused of bribery fraud and breach of trust in 3 separate cases he has pleaded not guilty to all charges the trial comes just 6 weeks before and it faces reelection. well northern and central germany have been hit by heavy snow and icy conditions with disruptions to public transport likely to continue into monday authorities people to stay at home road crews have been working hard to keep the highways safe and germany's role as service holds travelers that some services may be canceled parts of the country could see up to 25 centimeters of snow on monday. i know i've never seen so much snow in my life it's really fantastic. but not everyone is as pleased with the big freeze that's hit germany this weekend western areas got more than their fair share of the snow more than they've seen in hears but still less
9:11 am
than was forecast. this expressway had to be closed highway police in the west and northwest responded to hundreds of accidents thankfully just a few serious ones. it's in full view all the snow's drifting and of the drifts bare ice we simply don't know where to start or when this will end cars are stuck on gradients and parking spaces and some even in the middle of intersections where they just can't move forward despite their winter tires for our problem for us in central germany frozen rain stopped traffic on a major expressway snowplows and grid are out in force. the weather is proving too much even for many trains the german train service already started reducing connections on saturday like many long distance trains are staying put. major hubs like hamburg's main station really empty
9:12 am
thing fully many travelers were forewarned and stayed at home. those who did stay at home have their own little challenges to face. sure it's fun to keep you in good shape but if the trees again well then things could become more problematic if the snow gets hard and heavy that could be a problem on the roofs. for one other thing for coronavirus got me working from home so this is a welcome little change of pace for me and i think mr cox. in the capital fun loving berlin us young and old took advantage of the snowy sunday to get some sledding and. we've sent all special correspondent jared reed in to the cold and he's in the house and joins us from i wasn't feeling
9:13 am
. very very cold when we arrived here 2 days ago there was no snow on the ground at all and as you can see behind and all around me the situation has changed a lot anything between 20 to 40 centimeters of snow has fallen across several german states here in how the clearing vehicles were out in force yesterday clearing streets that were just completely covered in snow it's still snowing through they'll be out in force again today one of the big problems here in hanover has been the cancellation of trains as we just heard in that report how it was kind of a central point through which many long distance trains travel when they when they go through germany so the cancellation of these trains is a fairly big deal people have been told that evil won't be able to travel at all today although they should expect quite long delays so cancel train trains there but there also been other disruptions by the storm right. exactly kind
9:14 am
of all of the things you would expect in an extreme weather event which is what meteorologists are calling me so aside from cancelled train services canceled boss services have also been lots and lots of problems on the roads very slippery roads from black ice or hundreds of car accidents have been reported on the streets and highways agency services haven't had to go help people. and power lines to even one of germany's top in this league football code matches had to be postponed as well one of the big worries now is that there's a lot of snow around 240 centimeters has fallen in some areas but snow drifts could make that even worse up to one me being told if they do have to travel around 2 to be careful of snow drifts. and we expect for the rest of the week across germany.
9:15 am
it's going to snow throughout the rest of monday but then it's expected that should stop sometime today. see warnings in place across several states and even when the snow does stop the weather authorities are warning people that it's still going to be very cold in the main message is that really wind has arrived. jared. in the cold and thank you jack. if you're watching the news to come. it was a clash of american football titans at the super bowl in tampa fla result made several fans there were very happy. but 1st to the city of melbourne now where the australian open tennis tournament is officially underway some said it would happen wouldn't happen amid the pandemic but with the tough
9:16 am
measures implemented by the australian government to be covert 19 life on the lockdown is almost a distant memory. while large parts of the world are still under lockdown this is what's happening on australia's beaches. off with the mask and into a swimsuit australians are now enjoying themselves as if the pandemic never existed and in their country that's almost true it's been a long time since there's been a significant number of coronavirus cases. just have. to be able to come. and. this is what's next. is it is a really. difficult. harsh lockdowns are now a thing of the past and the tightest restrictions when the infection rate shot up
9:17 am
the city was shut down with a comprehensive curfew and stringent enforcement. testing isolation sending people into quarantine are hardly new they're known around the world but implemented. it also imposes substantial fines for violations i think that's a real achievement because it puts us back into a. transmission threat. to protect the. community cases that we're not aware of lockdown and isolation. on a continent like australia even. sometimes not permitted to return home from overseas and tourists are banned altogether but there are exceptions tennis players here for the australian open had to quarantine for 14 days keeping yourself busy
9:18 am
can be a challenge but tennis pro. got creative in his hotel room. now bourne is trying to ensure that the coronavirus is eliminated from the 1st major tennis event of the year. to the biggest event in american sports now quarterback tom brady shone as the tampa bay buccaneers beat the kansas city chiefs on the home field in the super bowl brady threw 3 touchdown passes as the back in his hometown city 31 to 9 making this brady's sevens super bowl title in 10 appearances earning him is fish most valuable player award to put the win into perspective no other quarterback india n.f.l. has won more than 4 super bowls brady also broke so mark for oldest player to win
9:19 am
a super bowl age of $43.00. joined by. skype to talk super bowl 55 between the tampa bay buccaneers and the kansas city chiefs press you said tom brady and tampa bay would win. yes i did because i looked at it like this again our tom brady the greatest of all time was going up against the baby go catch my holmes it's similar to a jordan versus colby scenario you know like from the n.b.a. well the way this game started is what i expect that expected tom to stay calm cool collected in the pocket and dissect the defense the way he did you know tampa bay got off to an early lead healthy and off into the they even made records to tight end he brought back out of retirement robbed one county set a record of having them that duo now has 14 playoff 4 postseason touchdowns you know that's an incredible record tom brady had no interceptions the surprising
9:20 am
thing was the lack luster off it's on the opposite side of the football led by patch moments for me this is the 1st time kansas city has been held in single digits since i can remember you know completely this season and this scene has been known for comebacks so you know what tom brady you know did when he did sound pretty brazen stopped leadership in greatness to it saying and the result prove that you know there are he's now the lord of the rings you know if he's in a room with great athletes like michael jordan and others it would have about tom brady because 7 super bowl rings is untouchable that will he retire that he's 43. you know he said he could play until he's 45 years old quarterbacks have played the record actually dollars quarterback ever plays the 48 years old that was decades and decades ago but the way tom brady looks no interceptions crisp clean passes i
9:21 am
would argue that maybe he could double up maybe he could return i'll see why not you know a lot of rules on place to protect quarterbacks from getting injured i think somebody can stick around for a little bit longer i know his teammates they love that because they are loving their moment right now and enjoying with the super bowl in their home city. so entertainment always a big factor that they have time so did you enjoy. yeah you know it was different because you know fans you know 20000 limited fans but we did it was very visual you know he's the most green r. and b. album he has the most album of all time so he obviously has a fan base he's $7000000.00 of his own money into the production and i could see why because it was beautiful that acquired well quite a live band at $1.00 point who just like it with masks i mean i would urge anyone to go back and look at it and one thing i really enjoyed he had one moment where he looked like he had a you know those can he was hoping the selfie stick or something that performing
9:22 am
you know and i'm sure that really brought in the viewers because it brought me and it kind of will get a little a little tired and actually what we have so it was it is it you know it was not present in sports thank you chris thank you i'm from american football to football now and i'm talking front foot collected 3 important points on sunday after completing a 31 win at hoffenheim from for coach has now faced hope and i'm 6 times during his tenure at frankfurt and he's one on every occasion sundays trump so on talk to extend sparkling run the form and even move up into the champions league places in the german table. reach 16 points from a possible 8 seen d.c. frankfurt other inform team of 2021 every reason then for coach at the whiteouts appeal relaxed ahead of he's trash week huffing heinecke. in the 15th many feel it

cost each was sick 3 on frankfurt's left flank and the serbian had the back of the net in his sights he blasted his shot past all of the bow man and into the bottom corner to open discourse. hoffenheim drew level directly after the break when either aspect who kept cool in possession before finding the very same bottom corner with his finish. but just past the hour mark frank thought he'd back with 2 goals in quick succession. first off a cost each free kick was not easy home by defender evan. and 2 minutes later provided another this time setting up on dry silver for the prolific portuguese strikers 17th league goal of the season. 31 the final score as frankfurt's exceptional run of form continues at

a hooter's side are now up to 4th in the bundesliga table. across europe traditional carnival celebrations are being called off this year because of the pandemic but in venice some events are going ahead scaled back and digital version this year everyone is wearing a mask and anyone who see parading around in a costume is likely to be a local political in our own land not going as carnival is going for to alysia with some events been shown online but a few revelers have ventured out onto the streets following a relaxation of italy's coronavirus restrictions. before the pandemic the carnival brought in roughly $17000000.00 euros a year to venice but with no tourists and travel restricted within italy itself the city's artists are encouraging residents to take part in the celebrations.
9:25 am
just a moment dave in a generation of voters the the nations are generally reluctant to take part in the carnival this year as we need participants we encourage them to come by offering masks and costumes at a lower price if we hope they will feel involved and help us because the nation crossed a need to survive because the obvious one that is out of the us is a very very easy another. but for some of the city's artists the change in tone from the usual celebrations is undeniable that. they get you the g.'s e u r g q today which is the 1st day of the carnival i sold 2 masks to a woman who came from verona with her sons to meet her mother i have been working in this industry for 35 years and i have never seen a carnival like this one that if they treat one. not on my word it was it however the city is showing a sense of humor despite the ongoing pandemic and some welcome the change but.
9:26 am
the mask of the play doctor is the one that best shows this difficult moment for our city. or my office for cannibal to be like it was in the eighty's not like in more recent years it was very beautiful. whether this new style of carnival is here to stay depends on efforts to fight the pandemic but for some of those taking part it's a reminder of the city's resilience. then it is strange this year it is shocking to see it so empty with all the shutters closed we are here today to say that venice can live and be reborn as it has several times in its history we are sure and optimistic that it will be back to mystic a cosy set up. you know if you did obedience here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you police in myanmar have fired water cannons to disperse peaceful protesters us opposition to
