measures are being taken. what is the latest research so. information and context. the coronavirus up to the coast it seems special monday to friday on t.w. . on both sides of the atlantic the pandemic pendulum appears to be finally swinging in a different direction more vaccinations are resulting in fewer hospitalizations hope is especially high tonight in england today the u.k. prime minister presented a blueprint for lifting the lockdown if all goes according to plan and if the virus does it veer into more variance by the start of summer public life in england will be back in business back to normal that will come later i'm burnt off in berlin this is the day.

we're sitting down for whatever but it is a one way to freedom i teach that next time out i think that a testing lesson so that the pressure remains substantial. the kind of make the right choice and right full virus whose previous 19 will be taped now he was tied back into and out of that and a rigid view will give way to a screwed and they some of the would be very different and do comparably fact the hype has got it all right. also coming up here in germany new coronavirus cases are going up not down yet today across the country hundreds of thousands of peoples and teachers did what has been a no go for months they went back to school. i'm not worried about that then joking

affection for us as a family over 40 kids but i do think that we have a joint responsibility as a society to talk to virus from spreading and i'm disappointed that politicians happened to solutions. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of you around the world welcome we begin the day counting counting the costs of cope with 19 counting the days left in this pandemic on this monday february 22nd the number of deaths from covert 19 in the united states will hit 500000 half a 1000000 americans have died in the past year that is almost equal to the number of u.s. lives lost in both world wars and yet in both the u.s. and here in europe there are signs that the pandemic may have peaked as vaccination rollouts pick up pace public health officials say hospitalizations are dropping the trend in england so good that today a plan was announced

a plan to exit the lock down by the summer u.k. prime minister boris johnson presented the plan to parliament today it calls for england to ease lockdown restrictions in 5 week intervals starting 2 weeks from today schools in england will reopen by the end of march up to 6 people will be allowed to meet outdoors on april 8th shops hairdressers and gyms will open their doors again barring any viral setbacks on may 17th most restrictions on social contacts will be lifted and beginning june 21st just in time for summer oh social contact restrictions will become a thing of the past today the prime minister cautioned that and end to the lockdown will not mean and to coded 19 take a listen. there is that with no credible route to a 0 coded britain or indeed a 0. 0 and we cannot persist indefinitely with restrictions that

debilitate our economy our physical and mental well being and the life chances of our children and that is why it is so crucial that this road map should be cautious but also irreversible we're sitting down to what i hope and believe is a one way road to freedom and this journey is made possible by the pace of the vaccination program. how the facts and rollout of the promise to say it has been remarkable and i will to pay tribute to everybody involved it is the light at the end of the tunnel but if we're going to get there we have to tread very carefully so i'm glad the prime suspect today of course of this big irreversible of assessing the data and following the evidence those are the right principles and i have to say it's a welcome change from some of the language promised it used in the past all right

let's go to the u.k. now for reaction and bring in dr john campbell he's a health educator based in carlisle dr campbell is a familiar face to our viewers here and to his followers on you tube where he has become a trusted voice in all questions about the coronavirus certain campbell it's good to see you again the prime minister he wants this lockdown exit to be one way has the u.k. vaccinated enough of the past population to make this course irreversible. not yet but it's on the track to do so the reduction in cases we've seen since the peak in early january have largely been as a result of the lockdown but tomorrow who we're going to reach 18000000 vaccinations in the u.k. the vast majority of which have been a single 1st notice vaccine which we know confers a lot of benefit and a lot of safety this new data came out of scotland yesterday that shows the fine if such pfizer and the oxford vaccine are both protected against a very real nurse and death in the older age group so even though we might get more

cases what vaccination is going to do is break the link between cases and the inevitability of its severe illness and deaths will follow so that it's quite possible that the r. value could go above one when schools reopened that's quite possible because more and more of the critical people the risk get vaccinated deaths and hospitalizations will continue to go down i think not spend inevitable as vaccinations increase and as a say up to 18000000 vaccines in the u.k. tomorrow you know this is the strategy that we are expecting as an impressive number dr here are you saying that that the policy of one injection one shot instead of waiting for the 2nd injection that has a policy been successful. i think very much certainly was data from public health scotland this morning and he showed that based on 1200000 people then we now have data from who've been vaccinated as scotland and people who had a single dose of the pfizer injection one single dose $650000.00 people out applied

to and those 84 percent less chance of hospitalizations and severe illness and with notes that astra zeneca vaccine it was even better it was a 94 percent reduction in severe illness now we're pretty sure it also reduces transmission both vaccines reduce transmission we're not sure how much probably around about 70 percent but we've got the factors that they reduce transmission and the region severe illness that's the key thing is going to take the pressure off the health service less people are going to suffer and less people are going to get surveyed sick and less people are going to die and we know that these happen after one dose and the that the data from israel is also sharing after one dose we get good protective advocacy effects and the 2nd dose is really a boost the dose so if we give that up to 3 months that's going to increase the long jeopardy of the immunity that we get perhaps what we don't really know soon you're to a year expecting although we are expecting to do another round of vaccinations

probably in the autumn in the u.k. but this is largely driven by the new variants are you sure about that are you saying that it's a given now that we should be planning for another round of vaccinations are like booster vaccinations late in the year. well we say need a primary vaccination then everyone's go to need a 2nd vaccine by the u.k. struck to get us going to be 33 months after the 1st stars the u.k. is currently preparing 2nd generation vaccines that should be efficacious against the u.k. variant the brazilian variant the south africa variant which i'll go to to to give full efficacy against say that the new variance one pillar of this plan of course is the backs of nations the other is massive testing is that the correct do work that we need. well. we offer examples schools are going back on the on the 8th of march i'm not going to include twice weekly testing for for people at school now i

think it's important but of course testing is absolutely critical on people taking action if they get a positive test there's no point testing it people self isolate for 10 to 14 days and indeed consider isolating their contacts so testing sounds good in theory but it depends very much on people following through with the isolation and the discipline that requires that's why i've always been slightly more uncomfortable with testing but yes the government is certainly taking it forward as a pillar of the way forward it definitely definitely part of government strategy let me ask you before we run out of time the prime minister mentioned today coded status certificates perhaps to help restart international travel he mentioned concerns over privacy possible discrimination are you in favor of those some certificates. well the government is going to consider base when it goes into phase 3 that's the 17th of may personally i think it's inevitable certain countries ready

insisting on it greece for example is going to insist on it will people go into that country so whether we agree with it or not is somewhat irrelevant drink to national travel it will be imposed on us there is precedent for this yellow fever vaccination required for many parts of africa so it's not something that is completely new and i. i think it's going to become so that if international travel is going to be essential the case is how far this is rolled out domestically will it be necessary drop a green card big pass to get interested in it to go to a theater to go to a restaurant that's going to be a topic of debate this summer personally i am reasonably comfortable with it ok dr john campbell is always at the campbell is going to get your thinking and your insights we've created tonight thank you thank you ben. well what england will do in 2 weeks' time germany did today hundreds of thousands of people's a teachers went back to school across the country this monday and that despite signs of a 3rd coronavirus wave in the making the number of new infections here in germany

is increasing a difficult and delicate calculus here getting children back into classrooms and out of home schooling versus possibly spreading the virus further do the benefits they outweigh the risks the day has come after 2 long months of closure and no face to face learning day kids in schools tentatively reopen in 10 states across the country here in badly it's back to school foot these primary school today and. it's mainly youngest co-chaired grades one through 4 that are heading back to class and most will either go for just a morning or the afternoon or on the tonight days so they off us students into school at one time most students are required to wear masks with the entire school day including in classrooms. for parents even if the an

infection rate nation wise is on the rise again this initial reopening comes as a relief after months of homeschooling. from this is worth i think it's high time especially for younger kids i'm not a viral g.'s but from what i have read so far it seems they are less infectious and don't suffer from head to symptoms. with been waiting for this for a long time but despite the relief that comes with the reopening of the schools i'm disappointed that schools will only be open for 3 hours a day this isn't proper school and the kids are the ones who is suffer as a result of talking to me a few i'm not worried about the danger of an affection for us as a family or for their kids but i do think that we have a joint responsibility as a society to stop the virus from spreading and i'm disappointed that politicians haven't figured out better solutions that. those solutions could include

vaccinating teachers more quickly as part of the 3rd priority group they are not yet in line for a job and to date no vaccine against kovi 19 has been approved for use on children . for more now i'm joined by tina morton she's the education minister at germany's state of mecklenburg western pomerania good to have you on the program i know that schools across the country reopen today including in your state you were part of the decision making there to reopen schools the 1st day has come and gone how will you sleep tonight. well actually. for education ministers over the last 11 months sleeping wasn't always as easy as it normally is it's a very hard decision to open schools while they're still going on and it's always you know we always have 2 sets of parents priorities we have to balance one instant

health of the shooter and the teachers and the other on is the human right for. education and we know that the number of new infections in the country has stagnated in many places now it's even increase. when you were considering whether or not to reopen the schools how did you factor that into the equation. well of course we are not opening the schools just open the gates and that the kids and the teachers and we have very strict strict measures of of hygiene and very very strict regulations we do have of course the masks everybody has to do that rather than mask also during the lessons we have all kinds of measures but i must say for me as i said it's always balancing the priorities and why priority is to have the kids learn and there are have been at home from month over the

last year and the last 2 and a half months the schools were mostly closed and especially the small kids and you just had it in your car to small kids they have to learn how to read to write to do math and you don't earn it at home at the computer when you're 6 or 7 years old so for me it's very important to have the kids in school with all due measures and careful but it's very important that we don't lose specially the kids who don't have as much help at home whose parents can't help or won't tell those kids it's very important that they have a presence at school school is also contact with the teachers but also contact with the kids among each other i know there's been to some talk here in germany that there was not enough done to make the learning at whole as productive as it

could have been would you say that the experience of having children at home so long was that was that a disaster or a missed opportunity for the country. well i must say that i wish we would have been faster before the pandemic to drive this very important line zation of schools for faster ahead but since march last year we've really bigs steps to digitalize the schools to help teachers to get trained to to do distance learning home schooling whatever you and we use in our state we introduced and very fast learning management platform video conference is happening so we take big steps i wish we would have been faster than 4 but now big leaps are being taint more than kids are learning at home

but nobody can say that during our link at a computer virus of the same as at school so we are in a crisis whatever we do it's always only 2nd best and for me the big leap we are taking and very not we have not reached the perfect the perfect goal to have all kids being equally well equipped for distance learning but we have taken big steps and well it's a big crisis and it's terribly difficult for the parents at home i know that homeschooling home office at the same time it's a huge challenge and we are going to get out of this i hope was better equipped school. ok. education minister germany state of middleburg west palm radio we appreciate your time tonight thank you thank you very

much. for the 1st time in many months hong kong has eased coronavirus restrictions allowing restaurants gyms cinemas to reopen people using these facilities have to register their details through the official coronavirus trekkie app but many but not many are downloading it over fears of government surveillance used to be kong reports. after themed free 11 weeks movie lovers can finally return to the cinemas hong kong is easing its most trenchant social distancing measures the news including theaters sports facilities and theme parks are reopening restaurants can extend a dining hours until 10 pm hosting up to 4 gasper table however it's not back to the old days people can only enter those premises by using the official contact

tracing app or registering their personal information after. one uses scanned generated by the government to leave home safe up to the break or to visit on time and then you and sent a notification if they had been in the same place as occurred at 900 patient but there are concerns over privacy as many fear the app may pave the way for digital surveillance in the chinese who say. the tracing out can also read other data on my phone i'm scared that the government might accuse me of opposition if my friends will send me political messages. i want to see because i don't trust the government at all so. i would rather order home delivery of than dine in to avoid using the out. there. i'm not worried even if they out trucks my life i don't have any secrets to hide as long as i don't break the law. i don't contact tracing

it's effective when thousands of people are exempted from quarantine at the border every day. fighting the pandemic is smaller than the public health issue in hong kong the more critically is a matter of trust especially in the political climate of repression some medical staff and so on this are also skeptical including frank. posters in his restaurant call for a boycott of the app isn't following the new rules even though his restaurants should be subject to more restrictive business hours and has city which could mean a 40 percent loss in revenue for him. and. my customers or burridge about where the government and the industry can handle this a personal information properly where they can be stored or deleted as promised but there's no trust worth a channel to do that so far. try and i want to. to activate the app uses have to create

a information being shared with floyd forces. launch a clean fast occasions and relay to purposes if needed normally the footprints to its influence would be automatically erased every month but they will be kept by the government for at least 7 if a person is in fact it the government ever tries that appose us no privacy rights as it always thought that out on use this time but it seems not enough the rare showed a majority off the public only in less than 20 percent of the population have found that they have. their priorities a plenty to go further they plan to add more functions to the app to enable automatic tracing fi up the tooth and even detects taxi passengers traveling history. 41 years ago moviegoers were talking about a film that spoke volumes about the plight of the modern day rat race 9 to 5 projected on to the big screen the tiny lines of those legions of underutilized and

underappreciated office workers the movie's theme song of the same title was sung by dolly parton now this all has new relevance today in 2021 some say because the plight of the worker has not improved in the last 4 decades yes the analog economy is now digital the office workers are now the hustlers of the gig economy most important people today work more hours to earn money with less spending power compared to 980 so when dolly parton recorded a new version of 9 to 5 for a super bowl t.v. ad for a website design company it raised eyebrows and some are is dolly glorifying the 21st century rat race take a look at that t.v. commercial. well it came. to an end because it. seemed such. a thing.

that is going to use it made. me. all right working 5 to 9 is in 9 to 5 plus 5 and that's a very long work day we decided to invite martha chicken auto to talk about this uproar with this market is an expert on work life balance at newcastle university in the u.k. it's good to have you on the program so did that c.v. added to touch a nerve with you. and yes i think we need to think carefully about how we train workers a lot of knowledge days we're struggling more and more we were crushed balance and working long hours. and so much thinking glorifying and have you know work a day work but also having a site needs to be taken carefully and there's lots of reasons why we might have

sight hustles. first of all it could be trying to make ends meet it could also trying to be a way to escape. home burnout one of the things that has happened during the condemning is that when there was a bus trip and very lucky to work from home parents who have not been able to need the house for both work and personal reasons and therefore you end up working very long or. well let me ask you this is what do you say to someone what do you say to someone who maybe has a c. has an office job during the day and then goes home in the evening drives for because they need to make the extra money that's a long work day how do you tell them to find the balance. and i don't think it's an issue for them to to do that the 2 jobs one of the key things about were touched by lance is to make sure that the workers feel as in control of when they're switching between different life to make it so if there is work and personal life or work in another work for example. one of the responsibilities that

workplaces need to have for example for but also employers is to make sure that if employers are working multiple jobs where does that the responsibility for their well being lie if i have done a in a hour shift somewhere and then i jump in my car and in my overdrive grow more and more the implication if i'm retired i end up having an accident is over going to be called responsible and i think that is one of the issues that we have and we see rikki klieman is your platforms having to take responsibility for things issues yeah that's a very it's a very important point unfortunately martha we're out of time but hopefully we can get you back on the show another time to talk about this martha chechen auto with the newcastle university in the u.k. tonight martha thank you thank you. well the day's almost done the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter either good news you can follow me

this is g w news live from berlin tonight the european union and new sanctions against russia a threat or a promise foreign ministers of the new countries who say they backed punitive measures aimed at those responsible for the jailing of criminal critical lexing of all think will go to brussels for the latest also coming up tonight morty using this time on b. and mars military it comes after hundreds of thousands of demonstrators take to the streets amid a general strike and from global warming to a glacier warning how climate change is melting away iceland's famous landscape possibly for ever.

i'm burnt office good to have you with us tonight europe is holding russia to account for ministers of the european union have agreed to impose sanctions on 4 senior russian officials who they say were responsible for sending opposition leader alexei of only to prison the same sins are expected to be formally approved by the e.u. in march russia has called the move and. the next time that a matter that's. i like seeing that 5. protesters in brussels reading aloud just some of the names of the nearly 400 people that you say behind bars in russia for political reasons. they gathered outside the european council headquarters ahead of monday's meeting to demand the e.u. . inside one particular case was set to be discussed in detail how best to respond to the jailing of opposition leader alexina vanny.

here in brussels today we will discuss whether to order the imposition of a new sanctions on russia in particular as a result of the conviction of nevada and the fact that he has to serve his sentence in a labor camp. shifting. the result came fairly quickly with the blocks 27 foreign ministers voting unanimously to clear the way for a fresh thank sions the measures are expected to include asset freezes and travel bans for high ranking officials involved in the imprisonment of nivelle me the move is likely to set the e.u. on a collision course with russia moscow has previously threatened to retaliate or even cut ties if new sanctions are applied. despite this new ban the supporters believe targeted sanctions are the only way forward. you know your

opinion is the strongest. proof such as close allies the most the parts of the machine so. common these. the. russian. who are for. the details all of the sanctions are yet to be worked out but will be announced in the coming weeks only then will it be clear just how effective they might be are for more now i'm joined by the brussels correspondent teri schultz she's on the story for us tonight good evening to you terry so what more do we know about the people who are being targeted by these sanctions well brant the e.u. doesn't release the names of the people who are on the sanctions list until they're vetted approved and published but we do find out about the identities from other sources and what we know about these 1st 4 people is that they are going to include

the prosecutor general of russia the head of russia's investigative committee the head of the prison service and the head of russia's national guard now these people are by no means nobody's there pretty high up the food chain in the kremlin but they are not as close to russian president vladimir putin as the supporters of a lesson of all me would have liked these they gave in fact a list of $35.00 names that they would have liked to see sanctions being put on and those include these wealthy inner circle of russian president putin the oligarchs and the reasoning behind that is if you make president putin's inner circle uncomfortable they'll put pressure on him to change his ways but. it's not that easy let's hear how he explained it so when you say punish hildegarde's well maybe we don't like it but we have to prove that these people that is going to be sanction has said that a big part dissipation on the fact that we want to sanction. when we can.

do with sanctions on the occasions not only we have to sanction the people who are direct to live a good we rest who sentencing. or who's poisoning the jury what impact are we hoping to see here is the e.u. hoping to see by taking these sanctions moves against these 4 people this is a really important move brant because it's the 1st time the e.u. is using its global human rights mechanism to punish perpetrators of human rights abuses so of course they hope that the direct message is that you can't simply poison your political opponents you can't detain 11000 people simply for expressing their political views it remains to be seen whether russia does anything differently because of it it may just ignore this at the same time the e.u. says consistently that it wants to have a better relationship with russia that it wants to return to

a constructive relationship but it doesn't look like the things are going in that direction and you know we heard earlier that russia was threatening to break all all times with the european union if there are these new sanctions i mean is that a realistic threat we may well hear more bluster from the kremlin along those lines they certainly will be very unhappy that these new sanctions will be going into effect next month at the same time this the kremlin really can't afford to cut all ties with the e.u. certainly not all financial ties it's the number one natural gas supplier to the e.u. and frankly brant it can't afford to turn off that money tap so we may hear more harsh words but we're unlikely to see a complete break of ties all right good to be used to results with the latest tonight from brussels terry as always thank you. well the european union has also agreed to sing me and mars military over the coup that took place 3 weeks ago diplomats say the same sions could target companies controlled by the army un

secretary general antonio good ted as it's called on the army to immediately halt what he calls its brutal force and repression thousands of pro-democracy protesters again flooded the streets of major cities on monday as a general strike shut down businesses across the country the marches continue despite threats of lethal force from the generals. rallies across the country despite threats of violence ahead of monday's general strike me and mars military rulers raised the stakes warning demonstrators they were risking their lives if they continued their quote riot and anarchy undeterred tens of thousands again flock to the streets in the biggest act of defiance yet seen in this standoff. was. scenes like this have been nonstop since a coup ousted democratically elected leader aung sun suu kyi 3 weeks ago the

killing of 3 people by police has only served to make many protesters move defiant many have called their jobs on hold to keep up the fight and they say it's worth the cost. today is a day for countrywide protest we don't want to stay under the control of a military dictatorship so we came here to join the protest regardless of last salaries nothing will happen to me of my salary is cut but if we stay under the control of a military dictatorship will become this slaves. that it that. it's a sentiment felt in all corners of the country in the capital naypyidaw all the same defiance was. i'm joining the nationwide protest as a citizen of the country we must join the protest in this time without fail. so

i've closed down my factory and join the demonstration. of baseball power you know i'm joining the protests to fight against the genter we don't want to be governed by the regime it's not worth working for the sake of a group of people will fight against them until we win i'll join the protests every day. i. a generation unwilling to give up their freedom and return to a military dictatorship like the one they were born on the. floor earlier we spoke to journalist david greene about and we asked him what makes it so different this time that protesters in me and more are willing to face soldiers basically willing to take the bullet. first off keep in mind that these people they got a taste of democracy these last few years it wasn't great there was a lot of promise democracy was struggling to transition to democracy this country after 50 years of military rule but they got

a taste of it and they also saw the economic tonight opportunities that were starting to open up and they don't want to go back to that and the parents and grandparents of today don't want their children to grow up the same way that they did secondly you know one of the signs that you seen protesters hold up is you messed with the wrong generation and that goes to this smart tech savvy generation that has been live streaming demonstrations out even when local data networks have been shut down some of these demonstrators have foreign sim cards to try and get that video out and the generals are keenly aware of the tech savvy a lot of these demonstrators and the generals realize that if they were to open fire mass numbers of demonstrators that that video and information is going to get out relatively quickly whereas in 20071008 they could try to suppress that for a while there was dave there reporting earlier let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines this hour boeing says airlines have grounded more than a 100 of its triple 7 jets worldwide after a jet engine caught fire over the u.s.

over the weekend on saturday pieces of 874-7400 cargo plane came down in a small dutch town injuring 2 people here to tell us what this latest stretch of misfortune will mean for boeing is our financial correspondent yens court he joins us now from new york and can you tell us how is this latest emergency affecting boeing. it's clearly not a great p.r. when you see those images of engine parts i'm lying in front or at big parts but to bring that into a perspective the issues that we see in which the triple 7 models cannot be compared to the disaster that we've seen was the 7378 planes if you will look at who delivers the engine so so far it's only engines from a president with me as we heard before that are affected and those 777 planes we spread and we need engines only make up about 7 percent of the entire

triple 7 feet so it's not that message but having that said clearly a great p.r. looks a different way and we did see the stock of boiling trading about 2 percent lower in the monday session terrible p.r. indeed it but stay right where you are youngsters more i'd like to discuss and from a big company like boeing we go to small businesses president joe biden announced more targeted pandemic assistance for businesses with fewer than 20 employees here's what he had to say we will ensure every dollar spent well. the change will bring much needed long overdue to help small businesses who really need help staying open maintaining jobs and making ends meet and this is a starting point not the ending point we need congress to pass my american rescue plan it deals with the immediate crisis facing our small businesses and our back

with our financial correspondent and carpet in new york and so what can small businesses actually expect from biden's plan. then 1st of all just to bring that also interest perspective and see how important such a move in general is small businesses with less than 20 employees stand for about 98 percent of all small businesses here in the united states but they've only received less than 50 percent for the p.p.p. loan so it seems to be the right step in the right direction at the time window is rather narrow it for the next 2 weeks those. employees with over those companies was less than 20 employees have their the 1st right so to speak to get to some of those loans i've actually spoken to small business owners like i have dresser for instance and he said the whole process is so complicated and it's also not 100

percent clear how and if he has to repay the money so he actually did give the money back so it's not 100 percent certain how effective their with this program will be but overall there were there was a lot of support to this measure as a set especially small business owners in many instances had no chance to get to those loans why i think because of the organizations like the l.a. lakers for example or also harvard and yale they received in the 1st round some of those loans even if after public outcry they repaid the money later. and scored to there for us talking about bigger aid for smaller businesses thank you very much. now to some of the other global business stories making news. germany may soon change transportation laws to allow more ride sharing services but
