the russian and chinese vaccines were granted emergency approval in hungary but they have yet to receive the green light from the u.s. regulatory authority the e m a. they haven't been reviewed by hungriest medicines regulator either instead getting approval via government decree that strong criticism from scientists the prime minister orban has been looking elsewhere for inspiration. neighboring serbia which is not an e.u. member was the 1st country in europe to administer china seen a farm job this helped make serbia the country with the 2nd fastest vaccine rolled out in europe after the u.k. . in hungary warp and said he hopes to inoculate 2500000 people by easter about one in 400 gary and thanks to the chinese vaccine if successful hungry secession to go it alone could further undermine that use common vaccination strategy. let's take a closer look at hunger is decision with the hot. german member of the european

parliament for the green party welcome to you do you welcome the initiative in getting more of its people vaccinated against a coven rather than waiting for me at. well how could you possibly argue that a government shouldn't do its very best to get the people vaccinated and the pressure however is of course whether hungary is really doing its very best and when you listen to the hungary and medical chamber that has refused to advise using the russian or the chinese facts seeing that that is i guess a predominant question and you get the impression that what was on those here as in so many other cases is rather motivated by political posturing then by really. health concerns and that's of

course something that makes you a bit sad right so just just to be clear. should he do this should he have accept the russian and chinese about scenes or should he not look i don't accept that question because it is not for germany or for brussels to give him orders i think he should in his own responsibility to be hungary and people make sure that he follows scientific advice from his own and i repeat what i just said from his own. experts like the hungary a medical chamber and not play politics at the expense of the population should more countries follow belgrade's example ain saving that population's lives rather than waiting for brussels to get its act together. i reject that question also

because this is. very unjustified polemics you're posing a question that seems to imply that what russell says is really risking people's lives on purpose and only if you play a basle to the chinese you're really caring for your people is that really what you want to imply let me that i'm not implying anything so let me repeat what i actually asked you should more countries follow belgrade's example in saving their populations life rather than waiting for brussels to act to get its act together knowing that question is the implication that brussels is deliberately putting people's lives at risk well i hear your question and i think that your insinuation is very deplorable and i'm not going to enter that kind of a conversation where doing very best in all the member states and to to insinuate

that in order to save your people's lives you have to play your political games like obvious doing well the serpent's are doing i think that is ridiculous and singh said sense of china sign a phone vaccine then a geo political gain any country just just again to be clear on what you will say any country that accepts that chinese sign a form that scene are you saying that they are playing geopolitical games. i'm no i'm not saying that i'm saying that albany's playing such games he announced in the middle of january that he would look out for the chinese vaccine he our own gave the green light to the russian vaccine at the end of january he has really not endeavored to coordinate and cooperate with the rest of the e.u. just as in so many other cases and that i think is. to be

criticised that every government makes any possible effort to protect their people as i said before it is what is to be expected of them but not at at this expense and when i look at the announcements that he makes and the promises that he makes and that the amount of vaccine that he imports from china i'm not sure he can even deliver on his promise he is and now importing 275000. jobs. and he's promised another $250000.00 per month how can and he has bought. 2000000 from from russia how can he vaccinate all the hungry and by easter i think this is something that we should look at to i'm not i'm not nationalist in all of forgive me for that to say nobody should ever use a chinese vaccine or

a russian vaccine that would be stupid what i really hate if this is being played as a political game thanks for joining us. member of the european the public for the green party. growing concerns about fast spreading mutations of the corona virus are one of these was 1st discovered in south africa where authorities have now because the use of the oxford astra zeneca vaccine the government says it wants to return about a 1000000 doses or share them with other african states because of concerns that it is less effective against south africa's virus variant the country has been hard hit by the pandemic with about 1500000 cases and just under 50000 deaths well dr john can't get song director of the african centers for disease control and haiti w. his assessment of astra zeneca is a vaccine with particular reference to the south african corona virus variant but

it might not be effective because you never said there are studies that. say it is presented to us 1st you limited study on about 2000 bodies thrown under the studies on green does way south africa's temperature so spreading to you that you knew stop using it just came a precautionary measure to be sure that you know to do an extensive vaccination using a vaccine that is not responding to it we really start to john in congress on from the african centers for disease control now is a look at some more of the latest developments in the pandemic starting in germany where media reports say free rapid tests could be made available from the 1st of march as part of the country's efforts to track the virus a court in the netherlands has ordered the government to immediately lift a nighttime curfew that's been in place since january ruling that it lacks a proper legal basis and japan is preparing to begin its vaccination program on

wednesday despite shortages despite concerns that a shortage of special syringes could lead to millions of doses of the pfizer bartek vaccine being wasted. well the 2nd phase of belgium's covered 19 vaccination program has begun with a rot in nursing homes but health authorities have noticed resistance to vaccinations amongst the country's french speaking population and many of those refusing to take the vaccine are medical workers that particular risk of catching the virus. this is a moment to remember. colleague photographs care home worker christina retreats as she receives her 2nd dose of the biotech pfizer vaccine. for months is rarely i really hope to encourage my colleagues but also my family and even the country to come and get vaccinated. as vaccination drives the

nursing homes like this one in the french speaking part of belgium draw to a close many stuff still opting out. almost half of all care workers in private institutions alone in the region are hesitating even the director of this home is among the. kids kirov one of the side effects i'd say in 20 years nobody knows today so it's a bit like buying a car you feel like you could be safe but i want to see the crash test results so personally i am a bit skeptical but for the older people clearly it's a good thing it was kind of excess well put it. this caregiver is also one sure he prefers to wait because he's heard some rumors get. ahead yes some production it that could be used. you can be orbs of from this

done because of those production them like. kind of a stock you know. and this is just the tip of the ice book false claims that the vaccine causes infertility or even death or spreading like wildfire across social media the french speaking part of belgium appears particularly receptive to these ideas. the head of most in home federation thumb a bell thinks making vaccinations mandatory may be the only option so far training sessions or online campaigns have failed to convince stuff i did not understand i do not understand that it was so awful that there's so a lot of rate of every people who died they so. the loss of life and it's unbelievable or do is people do not understand that they can protect themselves it's

a big question experts say part of the answer is that the anti vaccine movement can spread fear faster than mainstream media can spread information. so. the leaves do not. make you hesitant or make you make new even reluctant to take the vaccine that it doesn't mean you and it's a conspiracy theory and so when you stigmatize people like that by thing well you are 90 vaccine. it actually we have the negative effect of ostracize them them and putting them in the hands of these movements. move. back at the nursing home this local doctor is trying his utmost to demonstrate that vaccines are safe. and that's why i tell the staff here you need to get vaccinated not 70 percent of you but 100 percent of you all of you in order to win this fight

. many of christina rodrigo's colleagues are also taking to social media to encourage others. she hopes each photo will make a difference. take a look at some more world news now russian opposition leader alexei the valley is back in court this time charged with defaming a world war 2 veteran listener valley supporters say the case is politically motivated is already serving a 3 year sentence for violating the terms of his probation while he was being treated in germany on a life threatening poisoning. european court of human rights has ruled in favor of germany in the case relating to a deadly gas strike in afghanistan dozens of afghans many of them civilians were killed when a german commander ordered the 2009 abstract on oil tankers that have been hijacked by the taliban the father of 2 of the victims accuses germany of human rights violations. and the world's most popular cryptocurrency bitcoin has soared about

from students and civil servants to monks protestors in myanmar know that their strength lies in numbers. 0000 i want more people to join the protests we don't want to be seen as weak we the students have our future we have to resist so we won't live under a military dictatorship even if there's no special reason to protest we don't want to be seen as weak i mean. neither do they armored tanks patrol the streets as demonstrators treat them with the 3 finger salute that has come to stand for democracy as soldiers bolster the police many civilians fear their assets will be seized with access to banks partially

restricted. you know maybe i don't know a terrorist keeping our money in the bank by force it's unjust isn't it they're limiting the withdrawal amount aren't they creating a riot. people here face the penalties for opposing the coup those who obstruct the military or police from carrying out their duties could be imprisoned for up to 20 years the military insists it intends to hand back power after holding new elections there were a date for such a vote has not yet been announced. well let's consider a possible international responses to the situation with christoph hoffman he said german paint for the liberal free democratic party is also a member of the bundles talks economic cooperation and development committee welcome to you let's start with. what you make of these latest charges against.

i think the charges just ridiculous it's a military coup and i'm in terry leaders try to find. some excuse for their doing and should shoot the century. this coup is now something like 2 weeks old should germination the e.u. have responded by now beyond condemnations absolutely i mean this is one of the really weakness of the european union not to be able. to really have a quick response also there is a new legislation since last december sort of the midnight ski act so they could immediately respond and. point the assets here from the military leaders the side there and also i i'm sure we should now come up with a. good idea import the press. print for it in court how you say it

they told preferences for this for the countries everything but this should be should be on hold also all kinds of british or equipment should be. towards me m r so this would push the military under pressure and put a lot more pressure into this is that indeed true tests in this country because i've seen those people it really nice people and they're working hard and they should be free what is stopping germany from acting. i don't know what we want to give the response within the e.u. but this is kind of difficult because. there's a lot of other countries and now a lot of foreign ministers and hopefully get a 22nd of february the foreign ministers come together and that will be hopefully you know a clear response to what is happening there so you would like to see. go

against me about. absolutely we need an arms embargo and we need to freeze the assets of the military leaders because they are also responsible for the crisis and we need also to to stop the text privileges for imports into european market which is called everything but arms we should put those on hold also in might target the whole population but it is the economy and the army is feeding itself out of the economy because they have a lot of companies themselves like the brewery you know maher is the source of revenues for 'd the army right at the judges a spokesman. said that sanctions are already expected they've been factored in if if you like so what do you think they would do given that the generals are ready

and waiting for them. those generals have proven to be almost resistant to all kinds of sanctions but i think this time it will be different because people have seen during those years of those seemingly democratic. strays in this country they have seen that there is options for their future and those young people want to have a future and they want to have a perspective rather than go back into the darkness because of the military leaders and military government and so i think this is the point where we need the whole world to support a liberalism in this country that thank you for joining us dr krista hoffman and pay for journeys that they both have to. thank you very much. thank you. tennis and serena williams has overcome 2nd seed simona halep at the
