nicole reese in madrid nicole this is the 2nd night of clashes how serious is the situation there. well you can certainly say that it's a situation of concern and if you go to these protests i managed to witness the one in madrid yesterday evening they started very peacefully but very quickly turned around with a few people starting to throw stones or ramming containers into police vans or even setting fire barricades a thing that i haven't seen and create myself in any any time during the time here so it's a situation of concern it's a serious situation there were several protests across the country in spain yesterday i think barsa do not was one of the biggest and it was it took the police longer to get them under control. what is it about the public has cell case that sparked so much anger well the detention of him has certainly had to nurse mostly

among young people who feel that this is not only about being sent to prison because something that has addressed graceful scandalous it's basically for them it's a violation of the freedom of expression they think that anyone could end up like across it in any moment if they tweet something or say something that turns out to be not good enough or just scandalous enough to cast cast a light on them so it's a big concern among the young protesters i said yes they this is well and it's taken a certain dynamic course and giving it's been given a momentum here to tell us more about why public hersel was prosecuted in the 1st place is what he said not covered by freedom of expression in space. i think it's important to understand that our us and has been convicted 2 years ago

already for the incitement of terrorism something known as incitement of. speech of hatred and this is not legal so maybe anyone who would like you know get that attention and public something after something like that could be seen by the authorities it is an illegal activity i can quote some of the tweets or lyrics that have been piling up over the years one of them for example saying and i quote i don't feel sorry if they shoot you in the neck talking about members of the conservative party or also saying that a particular vulnerability the president in the basque region up in the basque country should suffer the constitution that is making reference to the activities of it's a terrorist seconds ago that's how they would kill their victims and this has been happening of years. not just not all ringback the things that he published are as grave but it's not legal yet time to turn himself in he was given

a deadline now he's right that deadline and i think it was only a matter of time until they detained him and called thank you very much that was did they call race in madrid. catch up on some other stories making headlines around the world today protesters have gathered in myanmar's biggest city gone for new demonstrations against the military coup that supposed the civilian government activists are demanding the release of the elected leader aung san suu kyi hundreds of thousands have defied the authorities to join a nationwide rally. facebook is blocking users in australia from reading and sharing news stories as social media giant opposes local legislation that would force internet companies to pay news publishers for content google says it has struck deals to pay $2.00 australian media companies for their content. the new italian prime minister mario druggie has survived his 1st vote of confidence in the senate he's vowed to do whatever it takes to lead italy out of the pandemic and

into of last. rescue mission and this kidnapped last. man said it is in paul we did. ok. we're going to have to leave it there we've left having some trouble with the line to job let's move on now to the coronavirus pandemic the european commission is taking steps to speed up the rollout of coverage 19 vaccines in the e.u. brussels has agreed to buy another 300000000 doses of the vaccine developed by u.s. drug maker modernity but here in germany at the inoculation program is being hampered not only by production problems some health care workers are snapping the astra zeneca shot over concerns about its effect of innocent side effects fewer than 90000 of the 740000 doses delivered to germany have been administered so far reports like the ones from this hospital in the central german city of are

contributing to skepticism of the astra zeneca vaccine at the end of last week 88 employees in the highest risk group who work in intensive care and covert wards receive the astra zeneca shot a short time later almost half of them had to stay home from work because of side effects such as fever. well it's surprising that half of them had symptoms studies show that 10 percent of patients develop symptoms here we're looking at 40 percent so that's much more but it doesn't last long they are sick ones for a short time and this means the body is interacting with the compound and then they quickly become healthy again but some are hesitant there is uncertainty about whether to go ahead with the astra zeneca shots. i'm still undecided because they don't really know whether i want to get this shot or not of course you're also influenced some up by what happens to those around you. the

vaccine from the british swedish manufacturer is only given to people under 65 in germany due to a lack of data on its effectiveness on older adults. some have called into question how effective it is compared to the other jobs. there is skepticism it's been discussed for a long time we need highly effective vaccines for people at high risk that includes medical personnel the sick elderly and those who are bedridden we should use that vaccine for the lower risk groups for younger less at risk people that would be better. but infectious disease specialist say there is no 2 reason to consider astra zeneca as a 2nd choice side effects can occur with other vaccines too that's the be expected it says life ethics and often the shiny to hospital in berlin also but for the vast majority of those who get vaccinated what really matters is to be protected from a severe case of covert 19 intensive care and death and we see that across the

board in all studies of vaccines provide excellent protection including astra zeneca. even germany's health minister would accept the astra zeneca shot. i'd definitely be ready to get it immediately because they trust the e.u. approval processes and their evaluation follows a process. that's why i would certainly accept yes resent. the vaccinations are set to continue on fridays at this hospital that will allow health care workers to deal with any potential side effects over the weekend. well amid skepticism about the. member states are calling on brussels to authorize vaccines from china and russia. countries signed up for russia the vaccine so. the kremlin is promising that anyone who wants a shot can get one use your reports. with the potential to

save lives. against the corona virus pandemic. on her way to get vaccinated and to go. first she has to list any preexisting conditions and show her id then she is ready. i'm not afraid i had covert 906 months ago i was sicker than i've ever been luckily i didn't have to go to the hospital but i don't want to get that sick again so now i'm getting vaccinated. since the vaccination campaign was rolled out here 2 months ago. it's have been. shot. at 100 clinics but being given something more and. developed. a lot of people come here with their whole family if russians didn't have

confidence in the vaccine there wouldn't have been such a run on the center since it opened up. between one and a half and 2000 muscovites are becoming infected with covets 19 every day now the last of the city has lifted many restrictions mainly for economic reasons see at risk clubs and restaurants have reopened it seems that the russian state is relying more on the vaccine than on restrictions the vaccination campaign in moscow is in full swing that's a good thing because as the russian capital absently needs moscow leads russia why is corona statistics for the number of deaths nowhere else in russia so many people dying from it's 19. similar to its western competitors which have recently been approved the russian vaccination requires 2 doses administered 3 weeks apart according to manufacture us off sputnik almost 4000000 russians have now been

vaccinated and around town of of those have already received their 2nd dose but independent experts down to these figures they say this the 2 sticks i embellished and that's creating at dangerous situation. doesn't. it affect people's behavior it makes them careless or. they lose their sense of danger if you think millions of people around you have already been vaccinated words you might be less careful about protecting yourself if you sort of this is going back to the gather. enough warning us to an ethical department store she's about to get her 1st a dose of the vaccine and hopes it might bring her a little closer to the normality we all had before 19 which it is still. in 21 days i'll get my 2nd dose of the vaccine in a few days after that it's my birthday and i'll be able to celebrate without being afraid to get sick invite friends over and we'll have a drink. but even those vaccinated can still get infected later scented

evidence suggests sputnik deeper. attacks against serious illness but that doesn't mean someone can't pass through the virus on. she's done on her way out she can tear enough or you know gets at chocolate ice cream she's told she has to be careful for the next 3 weeks because only then will she have produced enough antibodies for complete protection against echo in a virus infection many of these post vaccine i screen may be the 1st step to enjoying life to the fullest once more. it's catch up on some of the other developments in the coronavirus pandemic authorities in hong kong have relaxed social distancing rules following a sharp drop in new cases indoor dining and gyms will be allowed to reopen police in northern mexico arrested 6 people for allegedly trafficking take the scenes for around $2000.00 a dose u.s.

high as 1300 degrees celsius. while the mars rover inside the shield will only reach room temperature. when perseverance and speed reaches 6500 kilometers per hour. its parachute will deploy the new range trigger technology will improve the spacecraft's ability to hit a landing target 20 seconds later the heat shield will detect from the entry council. allowing the rover to find a safe landing site. at about 2100 meters or 7000 feet above mars surface perseverance will separate from its parachute and ignite its jet packs 8 engines. further slowing the research

laboratory on deals. in. the sky crane maneuver will lower the rover down to the surface and nylon tethers. next perseverance must reposition its legs and wheels right after touchdown it must detach from the tethers mission control will only find out whether the mars rover landed successfully 11 minutes after the fact. and whether it will be able to explore or just 0 crater its flora was home to an ancient lake delta system about 4000000000 years. ago which left a layer of sediment a promising site in the hunt for microscopic consuls. the united arab emirates we'll also explore mars its base probe hope and to the red

planet's orbit on february 9th and is scheduled to start work this summer. hope will examine the martian atmosphere for 2 years observing weather and seasonal changes. the chinese have big plans for their 1st mars mission they also want to land a spacecraft something only the americans have so far succeeded in doing china's tionne when one probe has been orbiting the red planet since february 10th it will reach the surface without landing device and research vehicle in me and send data gathered on mars back to her. next the protocol examine the types of minerals on mars and make maps of resources such as for deposits. planetary researchers are looking forward to all of the new data.

for more let's bring in carla bleicher from d.w. science in bonn kota a report mentions 3 current missions to mars by its free different countries why are they all happening. well that's really all about the law states they all launched at roughly the same time last july and that's because the plants clad literally aligned every 2 years or so there comes a point in time when both earth and mars are placed in their respective orbits where they're relatively close together and at that point it takes less energy so less fuel and also a lot less time than usual to get to mars so they all made use of that watchmen which is why we're seeing all this activity there now. tell us more about the mission and what makes the landing area for the rover so interesting for nasa.

this crater where the rover is landing as i am it or about 50 kilometers and as we just heard there's a downside a lot of it so there used to be water there and one of the main goals of the nasa mission and is to find out whether there has ever been mine on mars and whether there could be potentially life on mars again the future so for that nasa has decided to follow the water as they're saying and and they also hope that perseverance can collect rock and soil samples from there and bring them back to earth so that scientists you're going to have a closer look at. where these missions to mars all focused on science or is there more to them. well let me focus of course is science finding out whether there could potentially be future life on mars might at some point of huge importance to the future of humanity as well that there are other

factors for china as we heard they want to go to land rover on mars not too far away for now as well which of course would be a huge prestige is considering that so far only their rival the u.s. manage that. air emirates they are the 1st arab state to make it to mars which is a big deal and another factor is that they were about 70 women that were part of this mission and that's their and or its government has said that this is a model meeting factor of sorts for more women to get into the fields of science and technology and lastly we have to us who want to maintain their hair on visuals that is a leader in space exploration if you will so yes science is that really the main objectives but there are other factors at play here not least of all pristine carla bleicher from do. you very much. well enough to nations in
