they were feeling a little trouble say because they slipped up against being affected surely just to pick up. and that was not the only surprise in the bundesliga. no one could have foreseen don't mean slump this season for example that struggles continued against hoffenheim. not good enough. for her to win this game and. her mother disappointing them for most. disappointing is also up to the shelf because. they can't even get the basics right the royal blue square looking to finally kick start their season against neo and burley. mines also lets down and out in january but they've shown fight in recent weeks and turned up for another battle against live acoustic. frankfurt's ascendancy into the top 4 has also been a surprise section also which shines through again even though cologne proved to be pretty stubborn opponents but but. let's start match day $21.00 with
4:32 pm
a trip to die i don't mind. the. first year dortmund have long been the bundesliga 2nd side and they boast one of europe's most exciting young squads but now they're facing the unthinkable becoming just an average team fed in tent cities 1st 9 bundesliga games as coach had been mediocre 4 wins 4 losses one draw they were hoping to get back to winning ways against hoffenheim because it's not just about getting results it's about keeping that squad together. holding on to young stars like elling holland who had a rare miss in the 10 minutes it was always going to be tough if they don't qualify for the champions league it will be possible. for all their flashy young forwards don't leave a lot to be desired at the back the last babeu picks manuela kanji's pockets and
4:33 pm
nearly put the visitors ahead in the 18th minutes. babeu their embarrassed mats hummels just a few minutes later was. but jade uncertain show who is slowly returning to form put the hosts ahead with ease in the 24 minutes. my censure was another burgeoning global star that will only consider sticking around in top and if they reach the top 4. but far from home have dorman's number the last just once in their last 6 meetings they also benefiting from a bit of luck getting away with this challenge in holland and immediately countering. the poor finish the play and level things in the 31st minute with some help from a disheveled dog. descents the last time hoffenheim came to dortmund they won 4 nil
4:34 pm
yeah was. often home are sitting mid table they scored stretched to the limit by injuries and a europa league run but they should have been winning at half time. scoring has been hoffenheim is biggest issue currently injured on break summary has 13 of their 32 goals but babeu finally put one of his chances away shortly after the break maybe hoffenheim aren't so dependent on their missing striker off their all. dortmund's back line was out of sorts but by the 58th minute their attack was waking up i was. poor and scrappy strike was correctly waved off as the opening pass from mats hummels to thomas delaney was offside. was the captain
4:35 pm
marco roy's had started the match on the bench and entered the fray in the 59th minutes to try and inspire his teammates and they turned it around with 10 minutes to go hoffenheim played on despite one of their players getting hurt possession switched hands an ice cold call and made it to 2 hoffenheim were serious but they only had themselves to blame. the. game finished even at $22.00 hoffenheim did more than hold their own demonstrating why they've got a squad that could be doing much better than their league standing suggests dortmund were frustrated with holland bearing responsibility himself. if you take in this game i can score on the chance and the win so today is my 4th. but the depending on such young players is the problem it's normal for youngsters to be in. system it's all the players that have to deliver and the pressure is
4:36 pm
mounting. and i find those are good but can only say that the pressure is there but the will to win that drive for success is much stronger than any pressure we feel for ted sichem dalton's form remains mediocre on monday they announced that marco rosa would take over as coach for the next season but will need support for the champions league this season if they're to keep their star players. he said bush's live of his and have faded from title contention but fancy their chances against next to mine although the visitors have improved lately with a drawer it still meant and beating like say despite fielding the full medical likes of kevin demagogue. move city abi and do you want to tie leverkusen we're not going to have it easy time decided to get stuck in for a meal. a yellow card after 95 seconds not what the boss wanted to see.
4:37 pm
but the sight of d.r.v. skating danny de costa and charging down the left was much more like it. lovely still from me sitting at the base to me to see her. down a very good part of. the french when the cross was in fact the finish from lucas ilario not quite. one nail of the 10 minutes and robin said as gold would come on the 1st track. i tried his luck from outside the box. to deallocate but there was no change to the school line before the break. there was a change in the late because in goal however in a close number 13 on the clubs that lucas tried that ensured. and it proved to be a less than memorable bundesliga deb you. teams came out fighting for the 2nd half and minds. several chances biffle current top scorer
4:38 pm
a moose and yet the take found the back of the next. but a correct tangle cool can't punch smiling on the sidelines. might so perhaps a little unlucky not to have found their way back level i need to see patrick schick put them further behind with only 6 minutes remaining. yes. you could. win the. gold for truth. you created so many chances you didn't score a goal that's of course when you have 456 minutes left to play it's difficult to believe difficult but clearly not impossible recently drafted in online from cardiff robot that still pulled one back in the final minutes. looking.
4:39 pm
and minds through everything forward in stoppage time fell a substitute kevin stayed up top to secure an incredible droll. how could. 'd i please. we didn't play well at all today. from the beginning so. we didn't deserve more but if you're. 85 minutes played you can never control. it summed up the season so far for the kids and meanwhile minds seem genuinely resurgent. impressive all the players kept on believing and i take my hat off for them for a short. big big mentos. and i'm very impressed to call for the 2nd half and. how they deal with this.
4:40 pm
big mentality and big train. one of those games where all seems lost time is against. the display there's a very special. role the blood cells 1st goal in the film is legal mark the start of the wild final on small minds and a much productive one. kevin still gave his side a last gasp but deserved equaliser against les because of. the . if it does then these 2 moments from match day
4:41 pm
$21.00 will long be remembered as a beautiful game for months for. us. oh no one of the surprises of the season many expected them to be relegation fodder but they've avoided the dreaded suffer most slump still they've been on a poor run having lost 3 of their last 4. visiting shall come meanwhile around rivaled experts when it comes to poor form they entered the match dead last with just 8 points and their lone win of the season coming back in january it looked like it would be an own romp from the get go with our needing nearly scoring just 4 minutes and. brought previously suspended libya ben to lead into the squad for the 1st time since november though he was decent on. baldwin he own kept the creative midfielder in check. in fact this game
4:42 pm
is in general about a scrappy as they get tackle after tackle set the time. soundly fireworks with few and far between in front of goal shout to go forwards but their attacks was soon snuffed out. i. think they did boast more creativity than usual though that killer final touch remained elusive. when shocker find space for you don't tackle them and let them play they have some real quality and quality. still only owned dominated the 2nd half managing to create a number of concrete chances like young fellows about an hour in they barely resemble the side that had the 3rd highest goal tally at christmas has demonstrated
4:43 pm
by our knees late miss. looney own simply couldn't finish off shall cut despite again coming close with 5 minutes left. they remain well organized and tough to play against but their inability to find the net has cost them dearly. thanks i. do a little miss in the beginning was a force with god to argue through point and i think the order to know we don't get to the end to get. any owns winless run stretches to 5 games now a draw again shall come might be useful when battling relegation but not when pushing for europe shellcode took away some positives. i think it's a fair result both teams were tough to play against we can be happy with a point for them to memphis although their coach knows $1.00 cut it. it's
4:44 pm
normally a good result in our situation we need desperate point a draw that feels like a loss for both sides but one he is clearly more desperate than the other. frank words are the bundesliga has informed team drop in just 2 of a possible $24.00 points since the start of the year. a big part of that golden run is on bray silver his goal against cologne was a neat finish but that's not what makes him our matchday hero. told the jobs is going to finish. he's a man of the moment because he simply can't stop one in the back of the net he's the going to sling is leading scorer the sheer with knowing goals and taking him to a painting for the season a fairly heroic sets of stands. frank

5:02 pm
is a clear break with the e.u.'s vaccine rollout plan which officials in hungry have repeatedly criticized for being too slow. prime minister viktor orban said hungary is taking matters into its own hands. we can't stop the virus without vaccines because it will always come back in new ways that's why our country's most important task is to get as many vaccines as possible. not later as promised by brussels but quickly. 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 scientist the

do the approval process for vaccines through the european medical agency in the altogether for everybody a member a single member said can decide to to do emergency approval for single vaccines and this is what hungary is doing the other member states could do that as well. but so far the the tries to stick together and to do it in what it's slower that's true and so it might be a way that also other countries might choose this is not clear right now right so i want to hungary's our european partners may of this decision but there certainly is some put it because side effects of this decision there are some like poland and the baltic states that they don't want to have neither the chinese nor the russian vaccine because we don't want to be dependent on these ideological advisers

adversaries and other countries that are not so strict and also the e.u. commission is not saying that you cannot use it. but they say there's no application for the proven of the russian all the chinese vaccine in the hague at the seat of the u.s. or actually technically that you cannot approve them right now right so i'm other aid you know the member states and other you likely turn to follow hungary's late. yes there are some countries mulling the same approach all sir for example and also the czech republic considering the use of the russian vaccine and maybe also of the chinese vaccine and even the german chancellor angela merkel said recently that she's open to the russian the axiom as soon as the ema the european agents the has approved the sort so the they say there's no your logical barrier for vaccination
