mild to moderate illness from the coated variant that originated in the country south africa received more than a 1000000 doses of the vaccine and had planned to start an ocular leaving frontline health care workers in the coming days authorities say that the vaccination program will proceed in the coming weeks but with vaccines by job by johnson and johnson and pfizer biotech instead. let's get more we are joined by professor salim of dual careen he is south africa's leading infectious disease specialist and one of the chief medical advisor is to the south african government thank you so much for your time this afternoon sir why is suspend the astra zeneca vaccine rollout is it limited protection better than 0 protection. so when we developed our overall accident strategy we always wanted to have a diversity of candidate since so as

a senator was one of the candidates we selected based on the evidence that was available that showed it was effective against both mild and severe disease including hospitalization however the study that was just published that was just released yesterday showed that the if you can see against mild disease it is quite low and that's supported by look moderates the evidence is well now we are uncertain about where the past is and to go back see it also prevents the disease and hospitalization against the 5 a one y. d. to vandy and that is prevalent in south africa and so in that kind of uncertainty we thought it prudent to put a delay on the rollout of b.s. isn't a good vaccine until we can establish the processes right clicked the information to this this ok and there has been some reaction we have to say to that decision

professor sara gilbert for example oxford's lead vaccine developer she said that the vaccine should still protect against severe disease that she has at least optimistic that that is still the case in the meantime we've mentioned your frontline workers your health care workers they were 1st in line to get this vaccine and that was supposed to happen in the in the coming days so what do you tell them now that it's on hold given that they are facing that risk on a daily basis. of course i wouldn't expect the investigators to say anything negative about the product but the reality is that speculation doesn't help us we need evidence and the way in which we propose to collect that evidence is to actually roll out the answers and go back even a step wise manner where the 1st group that gets the vaccine we would assess hospitalization rates and if we find it's below the threshold and we will continue the rollout of the asters and the back see if we find it's above that threshold

will stop the astra zeneca vaccine because we would like the approach that we take to be based on the evidence we would want to see as rolling this out to healthcare workers only to find out later it doesn't prevent hospitalization and severe disease as for the health care workers we have managed to secure some doses of the johnson and johnson back scene and those will start to be all about within the next week or 2 so it we haven't really impacted that much on our initial starting date what we have impacted is our scale up we now have to take a more prudent approach to scale up why are we scaling up the johnson and johnson vaccine we will in paddle out also be doing so with the asters and it had to assess its efficacy against hospitalization just briefly tell us what makes you think that the other vaccines will have better results. so as it stands right now the

johnson and johnson vaccine has actually been studied in south africa in a very large trial that included the elderly as well and so they already have the evidence to show that against the variant in south africa no one has 5 born why the 2 that the johnson and johnson vaccine is education suggests that and it's 85 percent if a case is against hospitalization and severe disease so on that basis we feel quite confident to move forward with the johnson and johnson we do however want to ensure we have a diversity of products and so we do need to assess its effect of the efficacy of each new vaccine whether it's has to zeneca pfizer or any of those would have to be assessed as part of the rollout and while you are assessing that africa's the i'd just like to ask you because i mean you know your hold of the rollout of the astra zeneca has a lot of people nervous because it could potentially you know have wide ranging consequences for other initiatives do you suggest that other countries should

follow south africa's example because for example the vat this particular vaccine is a major component of the initial kovacs global vaccine rollout which covers you know about $150.00 countries around the world mostly with well where and lower middle income economy is. i think each country will have to make its own decision right now so that's because i'm in a slightly different position because the 5 to one wife v 2 they haven't which is the area that is able to escape immunity constitutes about 80 to 90 percent of our circulating bias so i was situation is different how decisions should not really apply to other senses in other countries and those today also have a dominance of the same period so our decision is very insulated it's not related to the specifics of the vaccine them in the out of the challenges that we asked

isn't it a vaccine the availability of safety days and you know the and so on so those are issues that need to be others all by they can lead to us from our point of view we need to know the vaccine is efficacious in preventing people from getting severe illness and that's what can we deal with thank you so much for joining us to walk us through the decision making process and the plans going forward south africa's leading infectious disease specialist of dual karim we appreciate it thank you. for. let's take a look at some other developments in the coronavirus and demick world health organization experts are meeting in geneva to discuss the astra zeneca vaccine following its suspension in south africa the shot is a major part of global vaccine rollout plans as we've just heard authorities in south korea's capital seoul have launched a testing program for pet cats and dogs after the country reported its 1st covert 1910 tests will be limited to pets showing symptoms of the virus who have been

exposed to someone who tested positive and the u.s. has passed 27000000 cases of the coronavirus the highest number in the world this as president joe biden warns it will be difficult to vaccinate 75 percent of the population and achieve herd immunity by the end of the summer. at least $800.00 people have died and more than $150.00 are missing in the northern india area after part of a himalayan glaciers broke off on the scene a torrent of water and crashed into a dam local authorities in this area they say that rescue workers have begun recovering bodies of the dead the flooding happened so quickly that people have no time to react search efforts for survivors are under way. joy as rescue workers recover several survivors but the search is far from over some dead bodies have already been found several groups of workers are still

. iran supreme leader ayatollah khomeini has said that the country will only return to the 2015 nuclear deal if the u.s. lift sanctions the u.s. says that it will not lift sanctions just to get iran back to the negotiating table if the deal limited iran's uranium enrichment capacity to make it harder for tehran to develop nuclear weapons. northern and central germany have been hit by heavy snow and icy conditions with the deep freeze causing major disruption to road and rail travel authorities are urging people to stay at home road crews are working hard to keep the highways safe but there have already been multiple accidents main train services have been canceled the subzero temperatures are forecast to continue throughout the week. and braving those brutal conditions we have our correspondent jared reed in hanover

in central germany jared how's it looking where you are today. hi sarah well it's very cold here as you probably can see when we arrived here 2 days ago there was really no snow at all on the ground and as you can see all around me and behind me that's a very different picture across several german states anything between 2 to 32 centimeters of snow has fallen so far here in hanover emergency services have been clearing roads that have really just being completely covered in snow or they really have cut out for them today as well here in hanover one of the be kings has been the cancellation of trains hanover is a kind of main central hub through which many long distance trains travel through germany so canceling them is quite a big deal i was in the train station a little bit earlier luckily it seems they went to many stranded passengers people

have been heeding warnings to you to not travel and to stay at harm care what other disruptions has the storm caused in the region. well anything you might really expect from an extreme weather events like this which is what meteorologists are calling it so aside from cancelled trains that being canceled buses to the beach seeing has been lots of accidents on the roads to 200 in germany over 200 in germany's most populous state north rhine-westphalia they have been truck accidents as well so really lots of disruptions to roads and rail dead being power lines out of poland in some areas as well and one of germany's bundesliga top football code games has had to be canceled and postponed what authorities are really warning about today since there's so much snow around is of snow drifts warning people who do have to travel on the roads to be careful of those ok you know it's really scary and stared when they when they cancer council

a soccer game in germany so thank you so much for your reporting from hanover and asked a safer. there. think there now we're going to head to the united states for donald trump's historic 2nd impeachment trial is opening this week with a sense of urgency democrats want to hold the former president accountable for the violent u.s. capitol siege while republicans want it over as fast as possible the stark divide isn't only a political one it's every bit as obvious among ordinary americans. it's been over 2 months since election day but trump seems to be as present as ever in rural pennsylvania and his upcoming impeachment trial is finding little support here michael. paula lynn grew up in piketon a small village on the outskirts of harrisburg he's about america we're not trump

followers we want somebody that represents long time america and where we came from america is at a crossroads and pennsylvania is a prime example for the divide between rural and urban on the one hand you have trump supporters who still believe that the election was stolen on the other hand you have democrats who want to hold still trump accountable for the storming of the capital one generous 6. only 20 minutes away in uptown harrisburg the political landscape changes from deep red to bright blue the democratic phenomenon which can be found all across america i'll be happy to give it all up front and his supporters. why because the. capital you know i mean the lies that was lost for what i talked to 2 pennsylvanians state senate is. because of covert restrictions is it really worth taking the risk

to deepen the divide of the country even more with impeachment there's a greater danger in not prosecuting yeah because by not doing it where we're less and ok it's all right that he did that we can go 'd on he committed a crime. and he needs to be held accountable for that crime you know is more than it's the republicans have a different take it's not going to do anything that heal the nation i thought i thought you know obviously we want to show biden well. a great movie can do it is to say you know what and talk to his friends in the house and senate state stop it it's too symbolic it's meaningless he's out of office yet back in piked on paula does not feel optimistic about our country's future now that trump is no longer president it will be a big divide. it's scary actions very scary because we're patriots or not

going down easy at the next generation but still living in a fractured nation on this the new president can prove much that. but there are some things that bring americans together and that is of course the biggest event in american sports where quarterback tom brady show one has tampa bay buccaneers beat the kansas city chiefs on their home field in the super bowl brady threw 3 touchdown passes as the book in errors i found to kansas city 31 to 9 making this brady's 7th super bowl title in 10 appearance and earning him his 5th and the award to put the win into perspective no other quarterback in the n.f.l. has won more than 4 super bowls i brady also broke his own mark for oldest player to win a super bowl at the age of 43. the girl special in there although. it's

been amazing year maysan year restocked a good start 7th you would not have a rough stretch where we kind of found our unity and played a lot better football down last december january and just really proud of all the guys the coaches after we put in so that's american football meantime involved to save the football now i try to frankfurt collected 3 important points on sunday after completing a $31.00 win at hoffenheim frankfurt coach adi hooter has now faced hoffenheim 6 times during his tenure at frankfurt and he's won on every occasion sunday's triumph saw on track to extend a sparkling run of form and even move into the champions league places in the german table which 16 points from a possible i'd seen this year frankfurt of the in-form team of 2021 every reason then for culture of what such a feeling relaxed ahead of his trash with hoffenheim. in the 15 minute fill it cost

each was set free on frankfurt's left flank and the serbian had the back of the net in his sights he plus did his shot past all of the power and into the bottom corner to open the schools. hoffenheim drew level directly after the break when either a spare blue kept cool in possession before finding the very same bottom corner with his finish my but just past the hour mark frankfurt hit back with 2 goals in quick succession. first off a constant free kick was not a home by defender evan. and 2 minutes later provided another this time setting up on dre silva for the prolific portuguese strikers the 17th league goal of the 6. 31 the final score as frankfurt's exceptional run of form continues the hoops or saw it on now up to full in the

in myanmar are growing what does the coup mean for all the investments western companies made in the country in recent years. i'm for scoble welcome to the program and the deal is off. south korean carmakers share in day and kiev say a rumor deal with silicon valley heavyweight apple is not happening now rumors started circulating last month that apple and the automakers had started talks about building parts for a new a toll the most vehicle project day and its affiliates say they are engaged in talks with multiple firms about the phone and those of the 2 recalls what that no decision had been made apple's foray into the global market has been known as project titan with details unclear. let's get the latest on this financial correspondent josee delaney josie should they have

already roll out. electric cars to those war why this tie up is not happening. well none of the companies involved are really saying why but there were a lot of rumor and disagreements really on all sides of this deal from the start perhaps the biggest is that hyundai and kia didn't want to be just a manufacturer for apple's products we had one hyundai executive saying we are not a company which manufactures cars for others so they wanted to play a bigger role bigger sure teacher croll in this partnership and apple is really known for for coming up with the ideas for these products and sort of outsourcing them to other companies like foxconn which makes a lot of apple products and hyundai and kia didn't want to play the role in this in this relationship there was also reportedly a lot of a lot of hurt feelings on apple's part because hyundai and kia had made this

information public and apple is notoriously very secret about this this project so that had all the also ruffled some feathers at apple as well now despite there having been only rumors misters apparently really see a dream flat here i mean we see hyundai and kia tank shares tanking today. yes there's been a very dramatic reaction among investors and it's clear that markets see as really the losers from this deal falling through the companies together have lost more than $8000000000.00 and market value just today. have been making a lot of inroads into electric vehicles but this was really seen as a big path for it is a really big deal that could reshape the future for these companies and now that that's gone investors are really having to reassess what the future as for these companies and just where those all those are apple

well apple already has put a lot of money and a lot of time into making an electric vehicle they launched the titan project back in 2015 so it's about 6 years and they've gone back and forth about how quickly they really want to move forward with this but they are seen as really a big force to be reckoned with if they decide to really go forward with this electric vehicle they could reshape the market in the way that they have consumer electronics so if they want to do it apple would really change the game for the vehicle market just if you let me thank you. and staying with the auto sector a recent shortage of semiconductors slowed or halted production for many big brands and it shows how important microchips have become for an industry and they're increasingly digitalize products now german british supplier deal log has received a multibillion euro takeover. many i phones contain chips made by

extent of the dependency on asian manufacturers can be seen in the auto industry assembly lines crying to a halt if essential microchips are not available that's why plans to invest billions in the expansion of the european summit conductor industry a quickly solidifying. and now to some of the other global business stories making news days after congress approved a at $1.00 trillion dollar relief plan for the u.s. economy treasury secretary janet yellen said the plan could generate enough growth to restore full employment by next year republican senators have argued that president vine's proposal was too expensive. the white house has offered its support for the former finance minister of nigeria and goes. on to become the 1st female director general of the world trade organization it's another clear break from the trump administration who had blocked. for months leaving the w t o without a leader all of a rental of air b.n. b.

reflect the changes that have taken place over the last decade during the process of democratization. international investors have spent millions of dollars to build new infrastructure mobile phone networks and to connect the once isolated country to the international banking system. all of that is at risk now. i think that that's the saddest thing here is that there has been a lot of development that's worked for everyone democratically and economically in recent years and that's all in peril now as a result of the military coup. the biggest fears for sue ton who runs a car dealership in myanmar are u.s. sanctions president biden has already threatened such a move. on it but that it the coup affects foreign currency exchange the market will cool down we will be reluctant to make purchases our major concern is how we

maintain a banking system if we're put under u.s. sanctions. the textile sector here has boomed in recent years 700000 people manufacture clothing and footwear for western brands such as age an am again and i didas. the industry makes up 3 percent of me on mars annual economic output it now fears that major clothing retailers might stop sourcing from myanmar for public relations reasons. and the french institute of international relations says last week's military coup could push me on march further into china's arms the 2 countries share a 2100 kilometer border and the giant neighbor is myanmar's most important supplier of military equipment including armored vehicles and jet fighters the chinese also see me on mar is an important country in beijing's belt and rode global trade route initiative western sanctions could leave a vacuum that china would only be too happy to fell. earlier i spoke to rogers biz

was he is the asia pacific chief economist at i.h.s. market and i asked him what he believes the impact of this crew of the protests against it will have to myanmar kaname had already been hit very hard by the pandemics in the current year growth was already slowing down to almost a standstill the impact of this. military coup could have far greater ramifications for the medium term outlook are for the me on our economy because it means that if the west and us the e.u. play significant economic sanctions on myanmar in order to repress sure on the government sure reinstate the democratically elected leadership. that can have a very negative impact on foreign investment because foreign companies may then face severe problems in terms of right permitted to do business with me and how would

the sanctions look like the yad states has already put sanctions on some of the military personnel in myanmar. nuts or any been in place for a while but the issue now is major multinationals may also be impacted is to us sanctions are white and and become more far reaching and of course the e.u. and other countries such as you know way or stray they also decide to put measures . there could be why denying pressure on multinationals that are already in myanmar were considering investments and myanmar to back away and we've already seen a couple of examples kiran from japan the brewing company has already announced several terminate an agreement for a joint venture with me on maher and there's also a major investment from thailand but spend similarly. with your own so this

could escalate considerably if the military leadership don't make take concrete measures to reinstate the elected leadership raja's china is myanmar's closest economic ally the leadership in beijing is yet to denounce this coup how will the situation in them are impact the relationship between me i'm are in china going for . well china is the biggest trade partner for me and my husband for a very long time it has a very extensive trading relationship both as the biggest export destination for me and most exports and also for imports so i think the relationship. if there's sanctions from the west. the military government may turn more towards china it's possible the thought is what will evolve an iraq war so

that's a consideration that the west needs to take into account when it frames any sanctions measure as raw just because of his markets thank you for your insight. under a matter of the top story at this hour should day m.p.'s a deal with apple is not happening rumors came up last once took the tech company out approach the automakers building parts for a new totems vehicle project. that social cliques were watching her self and success. my 1st boss was a sewing machine. icon for all women their phones by the social influence and then something as simple as learning how to write them by side isn't. since i was a little girl i wanted to have them by cycle of my home and it took me mr going to get there. finally they gave up and went on buying young lives like those 100 times

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. to the market. if they didn't give birth to a boy a 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. knows that 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 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. in germany the number of new coronavirus cases is slowly declining but some regions are still so inundated with new jobs that local trees have become completely and. there should be a moment of prayer but there's no time for that there are simply too many coffins too many bodies arriving at the crematorium in saxony. and some days there are more bodies than we can actually cremate on a single day and this is strenuous for our employees also because there's no end in sight.

we are standing in the morning hall of our crematorium. it usually accommodates 90 people for the funeral services. unfortunately we had to convert the hall into a storage space because we could no longer keep up with the deaths. of. the it's a difficult situation for us. because relatives can usually say goodbye to their loved ones here. but at the moment that's not possible because there's no point move leaves. no room for a funeral service not all of the coffins represent deaths from the coronavirus but many of them are marked so. these people had to end their lives without a final hug from their loved ones luke spanish cares for the bereaved he is a pastor and develop

a. family sometimes only realize how dangerous the coronavirus can be once they've lost a loved one to it. when does your label me and i have contact with families who have lost a relative because of covert 19 to score and they are in a state of shock and reconsidering things this 1st phase of mourning the so-called shock phase lasts longer for them because something inexplicable something in comprehensible has been added namely this pandemic plan to me. the pandemic is far from over. get a hold monster is worried about the future. that if i was going to assuming that the number of infections remains high it follows that the number of deaths will to figure out if it isn't the to slow and that means we won't see any relief here until mid february at the earliest so the carnage follows that. it is

by you say the rich countries have practically monopolize the vaccine and are denying developing countries access to more vaccine doses that have access so a lot when i but i like obviously where the hung jury and health ministry says some $4000000.00 doses are needed to immunize 20 percent of the population it's unclear whether one jurist will meet the target this year alongside the doses acquired through the kovacs initiative of the governments also purchasing vaccines directly from manufacturers. but global supplies are limited and the expense of. its time or expense of the lamb in the sea we have to beg internationally why because one jurist as a poor country has already used the money for other things. so we don't have money to buy vaccines from buy on tech pfizer but are all there are several $100.00

people who are going to have for you sort of based on current orders placed by the government the hunger in medical association estimates far less than 20 percent of the population will be inoculated this year and many hung jury believe the government should shoulder part of the blame. we put our trust in god above all and hope for positive results despite the negative expectations of some patients. but we have met the circuit if the government or doctored faster we would have had vaccines here long ago. they don't have to know that they were meant to never. were lacking good management the problem isn't a lack of effective vaccines despite the vaccine skeptics it's simply simply what i personally know how to read in a book. the vaccines can't come soon enough new infections and dad screws sharply
