alexina bombing how will the kremlin respond. and we look at the chaos caused by germany's new border restrictions with austria and the czech republic the controls are meant to keep coronavirus mutations at bay the took many people talks a problem. i'm sumi so misconducts good to have you with us me and mars military junta has extended the detention of deposed leader aung san suu chief she was due to be released today but will now remain in jail until wednesday protesters are once again in the streets demanding her release and an end to the to the prophet went to power to weeks ago the military has intensified its crackdown on the protests sending armored vehicles to patrol the streets and imposing an internet blackout.

it comes after images emerge showing the military firing on a crowd of protesters it's unclear whether live ammunition was you see. and for more on the story we can speak to lou known a as an activist and younger man and in order portrait protect his identity he's using a voice filter will not be showing his face either 1st of all can you tell us how tense the situation is where you are. hello yes thanks for having me. here. including. night time and recently released 20000 prisoners. and yesterday's demonstration raised more concerns among the public. expected the military. civilians are still very anxious about what could happen like naturally because we have seen

a similar tactic or pattern in history especially back in 98 and. unfortunately incited chaos inside of justice and. so this time no civilians part of history to repeat itself and i saw a protester today saying in this battle it's either you die or you die because we're not going to die this time around and it means they wanted peaceful solution rather than fire and confrontation so right now people are encouraging each other. and respect human rights in handling this situation ready under this tense circumstances people in the eye right now forming groups to lookout for suspicious activities and staying alert in general so tension is heightened ready tensions are high and. people are worried about this ending in how far are protesters willing to go here.

i cannot. see how everyone but from one is seeing where we are at a time when we as everyone in our little corner because no one is seems to be turning back so we all just have to wait and see how it turns out some fear that history might repeat itself some are hopeful that this time it will and peacefully so that's the situation right now. that the internet was shut off around 8 hours last night so how are protesters organizing themselves right now. well it strikes not only for protests but also for general communication and information exchange because we are already struggling with having to use feet here and to secure our digital safety and there's also a potential new cyber war like an under way. so for example. for this

case people have been brokers things like videos of arbitrary arrests and life feature and then having internet access has been a great utility you know for us and users to stay up to date with verified information and also offer help to ponderable almost instantly if needed but like this internet shutdown cost more panic and spread more misinformation between the civilian community and also of course need. our rights to get access to information as well you mentioned the protesters are hopeful that this will end peacefully how confident are you personally that this pushback against the coup will be successful . i cannot say confidence for any possibility because no one knows what's going to happen at this point from the protests to sites from pro-democracy and take they're

also taking steps forward and then and then from the military government they're also showing their force so we're we are expecting hopefully it won't happen we're expecting there could be potential crackdowns but right now people are just being each other are raising human rights awareness people in coming in and then providing a safety for everyone or participant. activists speaking to us from god thank you so much for sharing your insights with us. thank you very much. now in russia protests went through the night despite the kremlin trying to suppress them for days large scale demonstrations have taken place nationwide over the past 2 weekends but this time supporters of jailed opposition leader election of all they went small in their show of defiance against political oppression. as

the most well known political prisoner now some people forget that there are also a lot of women in this team who are also being persecuted for their political opinions and for their work. against violence of any kind whether it's political violence or domestic violence that's why we're here for love. you. know. well that valentine's day protest was called by leo need volkov one of the lexan of all his closest allies he that he is russian service spoke to volkov about what the protest movements next steps might be. our strategy is to be flexible and to be smart and to be smarter and put in and. to improvise and to do the things that you hold our supporters to organize themselves and do not.

yield to use in strategy of fewer and smear campaign that's a i don't want and i can see in the specific bug the form of it will be always something new something different. did not change for many years our strategy is to increase pressure. to build. our support base pro to increase the number of full support to restrict ever seen what we are doing and so far we've been very successful. remain quite successful in the future that was not only ally leoni vocal speaking to a little while ago let's get a check now on some other stories making headlines around the world the west african nation of guinea has declared a new ebola epidemic after an outbreak near the liberian border at least 3 people have died there the 1st cases detected in guinea since 2016 the world health

organization is helping to deliver vaccines and contain the outbreak. parties in catalonia that favre breaking away from spain have boosted their combined majority in the regional parliament following sunday's election by the socialist party which opposes independence looks set to claim a narrow victory as the biggest single party. australian treasurer josh frydenberg says the country is close to reaching significant commercial deals with google and facebook with the online platforms paying millions to media companies for content shared by users google and facebook have yet to comment but they recently threatened to discontinue some services in australia to avoid paying. and in the u.s. state of florida families and survivors held a memorial for the victims of the parklane school shooting massacre 17 students and staff were killed there 3 years ago president joe biden use the occasion to call for tougher gun laws including a ban on assault weapons. well many in the u.s.

are wondering what is next for donald trump after being acquitted in his 2nd impeachment trial little has been heard from him since he was banned from twitter for his role in the capital riot he's now living in florida a political bout battleground state where opinion is divided over the former president and the country's future. donald trump is a hero to willy guardiola he lives with 30 minute drive away from the former president's home in palm beach. he's never met trump but is a staunch supporter who doesn't believe he lost the election. but it's a big lie i still believe in him i still believe that he is the leader of this country i still refer to him as our president. after leaving the white house trump has been living at mar a lago. this private club for the rich is set to be both his residence and headquarters. he doesn't want to be just another senior playing golf the head of

the house republican conference has already paid him a visit yet on this playground of millionaires and billionaires people are wary despite trump's acquittal at his 2nd impeachment trial many rich neighbors and generous benefactors are now keeping their distance after the insurrection things changed he became a dangerous damn damaging character and many people don't want anymore to do with him that's why some people are say they're leaving the club but many of more modest means are diehard trump supporters some call in daily to a conservative radio talk show hosted by brian mudd their people believe the impeachment trial was simply a witch hunt for jobs al what say you know would you vote for trump again or course i would he shook things up to washington d.c. one of the reasons would be jet ridden you know there are many conservative media outlets in florida with hosts like mug who want to continue supporting trump's political future there's

a lot of personal sacrifice there there are very few examples in modern times i think that are analogous to what we've seen with donald trump and their faith in him hasn't wavered every friday locals get together at this intersection organizer guardiola thinks trump should simply to solve the republican party. so come up with a new name of base and bring in people who are going to be loyal to america for trump 2nd and you know put your hand on the holy bible and these people would love to be part of that new movement that supposedly will be launched soon from trump's new headquarters in florida this. here in germany authorities have banned a travel from parts of neighboring austria and the czech republic the restrictions are aimed at stopping the spread of highly contagious variants of the corona virus that have been detected in several border regions the european union has criticized the travel shutdown that's causing major disruption for workers who commute across

the border. very little has gone through this checkpoint at the austrian german border since early sunday many drivers trying to cross from the austrian state of t. hole were told to turn around unless they work in a very limited number of jobs classified as essential it's much the same situation at the german czech border. when you've been hoping we have ensured that testing is available for anyone who is eligible to enter but who doesn't have the results of a covert 900 test. and a 3. and. it's a difficult situation for commuters some are even considering temporarily moving to germany and they say the changes to the rules were badly communicated with you and . we have no information we don't know a thing can we drive to work tomorrow will we have to go into quarantine. i'm

having a hard time i don't know if my job's classified as essential or not well they allowed me to cross over i don't know. we did the work will be hard without this work and if you have a family back home you have to pay the bills there is no plan b. . the check commuters association says bavarian officials did not inform their czech counterparts about the new rules. we won't be forced to live in germany we're not german citizens we work there and we pay taxes there but now the borders are closed again just like they were 30 years ago. that was when you were it was divided by the iron curtain and communist leaders in the east barred their citizens from traveling to the west but today germany is worried about highly contagious virus variants travelling across its borders. are going to be lost and thus we cannot allow these severe measures these

restrictions that have been followed so well by the population here in germany to be for nothing the new variants could seriously endanger that and that's why we have border checks and why we're turning people back because i believe it's necessary. yes mines east north to be. tens of thousands of commuters have now been left wondering when they'll be able to get to work. well let's take a look now at the situation at the german czech border in the bavarian town of shell nding it's a place where a lot of commuters travel to work in germany and our correspondent barbara vessel is there she has more the federal government of the various going against the bill of the european union will lead us agreed that they wouldn't do this anymore just close the borders and keep people from crossing them to go to work but they say in

munich it is more important to protect citizens against the mutant variety of the british variety of the virus then the economic fallout this will have in the region however here and on the czech german border people think that this is just not a blow corona crisis is bringing to them and they don't know yet how they will handle it in the end this is all about politics this is an election year in germany and some people think that they can raise their profile in coming down was really hard measures like these that we see behind us let's get more on this now we have did have you brussels bureau chief alexander phenomena standing by for us higher aleksandra as you mentioned the european union did not want border closures here so tell us more about how brussels is reacting to this today. well as you can imagine brussels has condemned germany's newest restrictions and also urged the government

in berlin to facilitate across borders cross border movements of commuters halas commission and said in an interview that they fear of coronavirus mutants is understandable but that there are not going to be stopped by close borders and as we just heard from barbara only a few weeks ago e.u. leaders actually agreed step closing borders would be considered a last resort measure so brussels is not in use at the same time we have to mention that member states are allowed to temporarily introduce border checks at their borders if there is a kind of threat or emergency and of course the spread of nuclear on the virus variants can be considered as a health emergency and we know that the concerns over these new mutations are very high alexandra so do you think that we could see other member states follow this

example from bavaria well i really think that we cannot rule that out that that can happen because it's up to member states to decide which measures they consider appropriate and necessary and of course it's also up to them to decide whether border controls have to be reintroduced belgian for example the government decided to then all non-essential travel however we also have to say that i think that member states are were that that could have a huge impact on the economy which relies on free movement of workers and goods what about commuters and even tourists who are already vaccinated are there any measures in place to allow them to travel freely. no to the moment there is some discussion here about vaccines certificates there are some member states

like a story here for example who are pushing ahead with this idea and the e.u. commission also wants to have a common approach on this topic at the moment however such a big since a typical are being discussed medical documents and not documents that would allow you to travel or to go to a restaurant are brussels bureau chief alexander phenomena good to talk to you. despite progress in vaccine rollouts curfews and closures remain part of daily life in many parts of europe as we heard authorities fear the spread of new very virus variants but there is one place where things seem to have loosened up the spanish city of madrid and word has gotten around to tourists. meeting friends and enjoying drinks in the sun a rare pastime these days but possible in madrid and that's why the spanish capital has become a refuge for young tourists from france it's so depressing being in

a country is nothing's open it's gloomy all day you have to be back there's a curfew it at 6 you can even see your friends there are no cafes there's no you know you can't sit down with anyone you literally can't do anything in france. in madrid coronavirus restrictions are less strict than in other parts of europe and negative p.c.r. test was enough for n.z. to do to come here she didn't have to quarantine and also brought a friend come here there's there's friends there is. it's amazing it's a dream come true. a dream that theodore star and i you koby have also pursued the students live in germany and are spending a few days here they planned the trip with friends knowing that germany has advised us population to avoid travelling tyrus countries. reinflate summer you feel bad if you travel because other people are self isolating and you're not

supposed to travel at the moment. but i don't think you can stay at home for a whole year either. we want to see the world while we're in the prime of our lives . during the day the students explore the city in the evenings they stay at home they say they feel safer keeping to themselves others feel differently madrid's police sometimes have to break up illegal parties held after curfew with participants ignoring current contact restrictions which is ideal for this spread of the virus this party was organized by french tourists. people to hear about it interviewed on we've had to intervene on several occasions all the participants are foreigners who had come to madrid for a short time 2 or 3 days they rent an apartment and then they party. for a few fines for these offenses during the pandemic start at 600 euros spanish authorities

are in contact with their french counterparts. we collaborate internationally and there are mechanisms in place to pass on information so the find should reach them but you have to remember there issued by local authorities here processing the fines is still a bit bumpy when party cores don't live in spain illegal parties also worry dr laura's sons in the end they all contribute to more infections that get in america so we already have to be very careful with family members and in our everyday lives unnecessary contact has to be avoided it. the young people we met this afternoon in madrid i think both can work being responsible and enjoying the freedoms of life we do all the. and everything we wear the mask when we have to we don't want to bother spending people you know we just want to leave again and in france we can to do that from now madrid is one of the few cities in europe that still alive and some

leeway though that could change at any time. ok let's look now at some of the latest developments in the pandemic a large israeli study shows the biotech pfizer vaccine is highly effective at preventing serious illness israel has vaccinated more of its population than any other country new daily cases in the u.s. are averaging below 100004 the 1st time in months but public health experts warn that infections remain high and restrictions should stay in place the 1st vaccine doses have arrived in australia and new zealand quarantine hotel workers will be among the 1st to get the shots and england opens its quarantine hotels today in a bid to keep out new crew covariance passengers from 33 so-called red list countries will have to spend 14 days on the new border restrictions. to

sports now in germany's blunders like a frankfurt's champions league dreams received a boost after beating cologne on sunday frankfurt are looking strong at the goals just keep on coming as they continue to ease past opponents. the hooter's frankfurt hadn't lost at home all season making them one of only 3 teams in the bundesliga to make that claim a win against cologne would bump them up into 3rd place. and after a scoreless 1st frankfurt hit the target courtesy of andre silva his 18th of the season and the 2nd most in the league and what a beautiful touch it was. and then frankfurt doubled their lead late in the half they have on indycar doing the honors this time it is pinpoint better leaving the cologne keeper with no chance. to nil is how it ended and out he has frankfurt stay unbeaten at home and are

there are many reasons. and there are many alternatives. to make up your own mind to. be. made for minds. japan's economy expands for a 2nd straight quarter and asian markets are rallying the nikkei hits a 30 year high but careful where the pandemic still raging the world's 3rd largest economy is not out of the woods just yet. also coming up another setback for europe's vaccination strategy french drugmaker sanofi says they won't have

a new code 19 vaccine ready this year. and the party's over or for this year's carnival to the revelers it hasn't even begun a big blow for rio de janeiro's economy. hello and welcome to detail your business i want to get jones and berlin as always good to have you with us it's been a good start into the week for asian shares largely thanks to japan's nikkei which briefly talked to the 30000 mark for the 1st time in 30 years the strong buying in tokyo was driven by news that the japanese economy expanded more than expected in the 4th quarter of what being 13 percent extending the recovery from the country's worst post-war recession. the nikkei topped 30000 points on monday for the 1st time since 1990 the hike has been fueled by hopes of a rapid economic recovery under speedy exit out of the pandemic. the world's

3rd biggest economy expanded by a breathtaking 12.7 percent in the last quarter of 2020 well ahead of its competitors the u.s. economy grew by just 4 percent over the same period and the eurozone saw a growth of just 2.8 percent. analysts say a key reason for the upswing is japan's refusal to impose a hard lock down instead the government's aim has been to get a handle on the pandemic while keeping businesses shops and restaurants open. tokyo is forecasting growth of around 4 percent this year and businesses are optimistic to a survey conducted by japanese news agency kyoto says 72 percent of the country's companies and managers expect to see increased orders in 2021. so has japan left to the recession behind let's ask michael penn president of the.

news agency in japan it's good to have you with us our great news their strong quarterly growth fireworks on the trading floor lots of optimism there from japanese business does all this reflect japan's every day reality. i well for talking about the everyday reality i think we still have quite a ways to go you know it may be that in japan it's possibly another condom use around the world you know what we see in terms of stock market reality rallies and the reality of stock markets may not necessarily be the reality there as lived by by most ordinary people and in japan there is still quite a bit of economic suffering from the coronavirus especially more vulnerable groups like you know single mothers and then students and others who have not been able to get the income which they need so while the growth figures that came out are certainly encouraging about the future prospects. yes that certainly is still

a long ways to dig themselves out of the hole from the krona virus exactly because the the economy in japan just like in all the economies around the world slum to last year because of the pandemic the chip pan has not introduced a hard lockdown was that approach perhaps the right one. well it's hard to say i mean i think that overall if we evaluate japan's approach to the coronavirus it probably would you know fairly be ranked somewhere in the middle it wasn't it wasn't one of the worst countries in terms of its handling it was and one of the best either so for example particularly controversial was its attempt to subsidize tourism growth in the middle of the pandemic which many people blamed for the very strong 3rd wave which hit in january particularly this year so yes it's true that the japan hasn't block down very heavily but the question is you know has the

economic benefits in terms of the short term growth balanced against what it's done in terms of spreading the disease is in the country you just mentioned something about sort of unleashing a rising covert numbers i mean what about the upcoming summer olympics how important or how risky are the games economically. well you know the story of the olympics really still needs to be written to be honest a lot of observers and analysts are quite doubtful whether the claims of the international in olympic committee and the government are true that they will actually be able to hold the olympics they have been adamant that they will they have left no doubt in their messaging but you know the japanese people themselves have now sort of turned against this idea and you know a lot of people think it may fall apart in the later stages but assuming that it does go forward it will be on a much smaller scale there probably won't be very you know the economic stimulation

from that stimulus from that will probably be quite quite modest compared to what it would have been had things going forward as planned in 2020 you know michael penned the president of the she gets a news agency thank you so much for your time thank you. and now to some of the other global business stories making news. australian treasurer just tried in burke says the country's close to reaching significant commercial deals with google and facebook the online platforms pay millions to media companies for content shared by uses facebook have yet to comment but they have recently threatened to discontinue some services in australia to avoid paying. passenger numbers are the middle east the busiest airport to dubai international slumped by 70 percent last year as the crowd in $1000.00 pandemic crippled the travel industry the airport is the hop where emirates and i in operations were reduced for several months under government travel restrictions the industry expects it will take years to recover. and serious

and goes she. is said to be confirmed on monday as the 1st woman and 1st african leader of the world trade organization that after u.s. president biden supported her candidacy my predecessor had blocked it effectively paralyzing the organization. and you coded $1000.00 vaccine candidates developed by french truck makers so no fee and us group translated by a will not be ready this year and uses another setback for sanofi the company is already struggling with a delay in its other covert 19 vaccine candidate for which it has partnered with britain's glaxo smith kline the e.u. commission had ordered up to 300000000 vaccine daises off this vaccine for the 27 member states. for more on this let's cross over to our financial markets correspondent chelsea delayed in frankfurt chelsea as i just mentioned i mean this

is the 2nd time that sanofi has failed in its attempt to produce an effective covert 1000 scene but what does that mean for for such a huge pharmaceutical giant. it's actually a major disappointment for both of its major highly anticipated coronavirus vaccines have really been hit by numerous production numerous development delays and sanofi also was one of the most promising drug candidates and the beginning of the race for a covert vaccine. since to know if he was really that the company that people were looking at for for one of the most promising vaccine sort of fall behind in that way it is definitely a blow now of course europe also has quite a stake in it i mean there was a lot of money going to wards various drug producers including sanofi what does that mean for europe's investment. it's a setback for sure europe had ordered around 300000000 doses of santa fees taxing

with laxer smith kline that leaves the big hole and its its plans for a rollout now and we've already seen in europe really struggling to get enough vaccines but we also have seen center and glaxo smith kline say that they will start manufacturing other companies krone virus vaccines they play i said a few plans to manufacture about 125000000 doses of the pfizer biotech vaccine so hopefully that will help to fill some of these production shortfalls as a result of the delays in santa fees vaccines chalcedony they're reporting for us from the frankfurt stock exchange thank you so much. today is was more talk or shroff monday a climax of germany's carnival season and normally that be millions of carnival revolution especially in the rhineland out on the streets singing and dancing but not this year lots during the coronavirus pandemic this year accountable has been

organizations and the white helmets we've tried to raise awareness about the coronavirus we've handed out masks and disinfectant but given the desperate situation it's not enough. of them. have to fight half family are simply glad that the aid organization has given them a new tent some clothing and even a new furnace but they hardly use it despite the cold they have no money for fuel and they are terrified of using it anyway. and they have enough to lose my children and i have a psychological problem in the tent we are afraid to light the furnace when my husband isn't here so our children panic and start screaming when they see fire it's very very hard for us. when they fled the fighting and their rates up to 5 task thought they would only be here for a few days but now it's been 14 months and they are too afraid to go back home to

southern eclipse because the fighting rages on. around 11000000 undocumented immigrants live in the usa during the trump era they lived in fear of deportation president biden has promised them a path to citizenship but many are still worried. that is what brings them together even on a cold day i mean the. it's the 4th anniversary of the muslim travel ban imposed by former president donald trump and now revoked by one of president biden's 1st executive orders. and so this ban from the get go should not have ever been made it's rooted in divisiveness fear mongering in haiti and the fact that it separated so many families for so long is just it's cruel and it's going to be

raised i'm here in support of the action all of us meaning that we're demanding to the white house or congress president biden. for everybody. for all the 11000000 undocumented immigrants and to all deportations and detentions and get it from believe to the united states with her 2 sons 20 years ago and hasn't been home since her son's know no other country than their own the united states they were granted legal status by the dream act but they still don't tap a u.s. citizenship so. it's hard to be an immigrant here it's painful it's sad it's hard work you have to fight a lot. she arrived with a tourist visa and never left undocumented immigrants like ingrid a contraflow percent of the workforce in the united states they are part of the backbone of the economy and houses offices hospitals and doing the domestic work

for many american families. because of the pandemic her main source of income now she's also lost her home because she can't pay the rent anymore but she says what hurts most is not to be able to visit her family. it is difficult to visit our countries because if we leave we will not be allowed to enter again and if just for many immigrants solidarity and the will to fight have grown even. stronger despite the pandemic and the trumpet ministrations apologies. for those hoping to become an american citizen that toll now has a name joe bite. the coronavirus hit germany hard but in a city in the state of mecklenburg for common the infection rate is much lower than the national average what are they doing differently.

is it the cool baltic breeze or the rather calm and collected mindset of people in the north of germany so far they have made it well through the covert crisis especially here in the city of. infection numbers are currently lower than the german everett. to supernews we are disciplined northern germans are quite different from everyone else. we're a bit more nordic and distance anyway maybe that's our secret recipe timing might have been one reason very early on the city started testing more people than ever it mosques quickly became mandatory and designated places and alcohol was spent on the streets earlier than in most places in germany. another reason might be him of our stocks mayor he is originally from denmark and had just started his political career when the pandemic hits before that he was an entry printer helpful when

leading a team. people looked very surprised when i said now we're going to shut everything down it took 15 minutes and then they started working all together as a strong team and immediately put my words in action and i can understand that when the new mayor suddenly says we're going to shut everything down here we're going to get. a search reason for the lower number of infections could be the north specs the nation's strategy relative to its inhabitants they have vaccinated more people than any other region in germany and there is something else a few family doctors are gaining nationwide attention because they started vaccinating people in their own practice unique in germany because so far people had to go to vaccination centers to get the chap administering it has been doable for doctors here contrary to popular belief the biotech pfizer vaccine can be stored at normal french temperature for

a couple of days. might want my wish of course would be that when we have enough vaccine available in the near future that we will have proven with this model project it's possible the family doctors can do the vaccinations let us broaden this idea and let the family doctors take over when the. but germany is still missing vaccine doses until that problem is solved the country's north will have to continue counting on its discipline and maybe the fresh baltic breeze. our last stop is russia for a ride on the moscow metro after a decades long ban women can once again drive for the capital cities rapid transit system. women are finally in the driving seat and are pushing full speed ahead on gender equality in

the russian capital. started working for the moscow metro almost 18 years ago at the time women were not allowed to operate subway trains in russia but arenas says for her it was worth the wait. this is my childhood dream i used to play with model ships and airplanes with the boys my father was a pilot so why the metro somehow it drew me in the fact that it's underground i guess it's like flying but under the ground. irina is proud to be one of the 1st 12 female metro drivers after all the moscow subway is legendary the soviet government started building it in the 1930 s. calling it a palace for the people for commuting workers in the 1980 s. the government decided women had no place driving these trains they said the metro is too deep underground too loud and too dark for women and the vibration from the trains could damage their so-called childbearing function even now women drivers

are only being deployed on the most modern trains and only operate one line runs partially over ground despite the fact that they get the exact same training as their male counterparts. in russia $100.00 jobs remain off limits for women for example metal manufacturing like the work in the steel mill mining and drilling on an oil rig are still considered men's work russian lawmakers insist the restrictions are still relevant today. we treat women with care here these tough jobs and hard labor are still seen as men's work in our society also women are mothers so providing for and taking care of their health and their reproductive functions is important that's why we used recommendations from doctors to determine factors that are harmful to women at work .

is on her way to her next shift the 38 year old says the metro feels like a 2nd home to her especially now that she's in the driving seat and the arena is optimistic the other band jobs won't be off limits to women forever. i'm sure they're working on it already but bands must be in place for a reason so the government must be taking care of women i would tell other women to keep believing in. then no matter what you want to become everything is possible it already has her dream job and the next group of women will start training to become drivers soon but outside of these metro tunnels gender equality is still a long way off.
