a vaccination of health care workers has been completed we would begin with phase 2 of the vaccination brought in late april to early may face to include the elderly and social workers persons living or working in institutional settings and those with co-morbidities. now south africa recently signed an agreement with johnson and johnson to secure a 11000000 doses off the coast in 1000 back scene the country is currently inoculating its frontline health workers but some of them are opposed to the johnson and johnson vaccine because the government began administering the jab before its trial phase had concluded. that you can at least 2 weeks into south africa mission program and they ease growing resistance so far a list that 80000 people have received the volunteers jack. some health the workers

have raised their concerns over the johnson and johnson vaccine that is still in the try and phase here there is treatment multiple to her to save big bucks. to stop her. from playing off. but if only to help this is research project they are using i think greenpeace. and devout submission campaigners who are already pretty vocal in the country are saying the opportunity to make their voices had conspiracy theories and myths at one point. there are those who say the vaccine is a camp of death at the biblical is a mark of the beast and. some allege that it alters people's d n a and that it's made a name is to depopulate the wild basket. if we have to take it

one night others still have a lot of and answered questions about the vaccine the nothing. the risk you know and everything that is included within the thing itself a meeting of the law and all that and after that we need to know that taking my body throws western medicine also insist they'll grab a stick with their traditional have remedies although not have been signed difficult proven to be an effective vaccine to protect people against of the landed . i took my apple product and played it for myself and it anytime i want it and i can't do anything with it so i kept my refund on the vehicle for a dictionary to know nobody in the family i would go but how. professor of. a divestiture officer. sees most of this i do to let information as such must. be an issue of. reaching our. public

and messaging to the public and gauging what appropriate challenging. and educating people who are probably already right. as the government works hard to get enough. of us 60 percent of the population by the end of the year it is now clear it would need to work in convincing the majority of the citizens to be jabbed . filed the report and he joins me now from johannesburg good to see you too so so we heard as some of the reasons people are giving for not wanting to be vaccinated in your report but just how widespread is this skepticism in south africa. this is a very wide discretion considering the research or salvi is not to have had

referred to may just some of these here in south africa infected the 3 there's one from the globe i p s o s and another one from fin take it found that it wasn't generated they found that to about 50 percent of south africans of say the bill resisted taking the vaccine and our local university had invested of the hounds be also did another study where they put that figure to one that so that is quite quite a huge number and obviously this is not a small group of people at the corner there but just across christian across religions are cross tradition quite a number of people in a lot of corners here saying they're not prepared to take the vaccine as yet to do so and you'll report somebody from a nursing union spoke what's the government going to do about frontline with his who potentially refused to be vaccinated. got

into the government does just say to know one is going to be forced to be vaccinated and that poses a big problem because if those that are supposed to be vaccinating people are saying we are not going to go there because like the indaba nisus union advising it's a venting 1000 members to say they should not take the vaccine because the government is not clear so the government has a big problem but what we know now is that to their trainings that are being made and there are moves that are being made to advise and educate the health away cause about the importance of this vaccine and if so 50 which is their main concern to say they were not well trained up about it and the government is taking moves now to try it by all means and educate them to make sure that they participate right that's just reporting for us in johannesburg thank you too so. hundreds of girls from the nigerian town of john kerry are still missing after gunmen attacked a school went to 317 hostages on friday when you travel to some fire

a huge boost you already mentioned $100000000.00 doses that johnson and johnson could deliver by summer on top of 50 we have to fight there be on tech and short so there are expectations that basically $400000000.00 americans could get vaccinated by summer and we only have a population of about 330000000 and that includes children who are not eligible for the vix even a yet so clearly pretty good news on that and we do not really know what might be going on with the variations of of the variants of. the virus but overall clearly very good news when it comes to vaccination sic least here in the united states and ins meanwhile of us actually output has his a 3 year high and the s. and p. 500 has had one of its best days in months is this a sign that investors are seeing an end to all of this. that is one part of the story but interestingly enough from here on monday it's not just

the stocks performed well that would profit if the pandemic would come to an end but also those stay at home work at home companies and stocks from companies like peloton for instance or resume they also were all on the rise the nasdaq composite up by 3 percent in the monday session old so a big day on wall street so yes we have all this health news that is driving the market on one side but on the other side we also had a couple of economists and bangs actually downplaying the imminent risk of inflation if you look at the 10 year yield for instance yes that pop up from point 92 point to 1.5 percent recently but if you look at that in a historical context in the seventy's for example we had to yield of more than 10 percent since the fifty's on average we had a 10 year yield of a good 5 percent so we're still nowhere near that at this point and that gives

market participants another boost and some confidence that the federal reserve will stick to the ultra low monetary policy and then on top of the good news coming to the vaccination so that it's really driving the markets towards a new all time highs putting it all in context for us and scott in new york thank you very much. now to some of the other global business stories making news a report by the council of europe has accused austria's government of failing to tackle corruption the finding comes just 2 weeks after police raided the home of the austrian finance minister again last prosecutors are investigating whether he helped an online casino company get a tax break in exchange for political supporters. facebook is launching its news pop form in germany in may the service will feature curated content from around a 100 media outlets in the country similar services are already in operation in the

a contemplation of life and hope. well thank goodness cinema bashes on regardless of pandemic restrictions and sunday night's golden globes awards ceremony was quite a different affair streamed online from multiple locations and allowing multiple digs at the events you need to diversify well nevertheless black actors did win several trophies a woman won best director and there was a healthy number of surprises. goes to the 2021 golden globe awards this year's golden globe awards were symbolic of a changed media landscape no stars on the red carpet no tables full of laughing actors the strange atmosphere was made even more awkward by the earlier revelation that the hollywood foreign press association has no black members co-hosts tina fey and amy poehler didn't pull their punches here everybody is understandably upset at

the h s p a and their choices look a lot of flashy garbage got nominated but that happens ok that's like their thing but a number of black actors and black led projects were overlooked and look we all know that award shows are stupid yeah they're all a scam invented by big red carpet to sell more carpets we know that point is even with stupid things inclusive it is important and there are no black members of the hollywood foreign press i realize it's f.p.a. maybe you guys didn't get the memo because your workplace is the backbone of a french mcdonalds but you've got to change that so here's to change the event was dominated by streaming platforms as netflix raked in awards for the crown and amazon took the category for best musical or comedy for the 2nd borat film but there were some surprises. golden globe goes to.

no merit. director chloe xiaobo won best picture and became the 1st woman of color to take on best director for her film nomad land which stars frances mcdormand. blood no marilyn i did score for me is a. pilgrimage there are grief and healing. so for everyone who has gone through this difficult and beautiful journey some point in their lives this is for you we don't say goodbye we say see you down the road thank you. in another surprise when andra day took best drama actress for the title role in the united states versus billie holiday on a night when the winners more closely resembled hollywood's new creators the question remains whether the hollywood foreign press association will also show a willingness to change. and joining me from our studios in bonn is my colleague scott rock's throw quite

a night at the golden globes there scott what were the biggest surprises for you. yeah well for me nomad land wasn't a surprise i mean that's been my pick for best film since i saw it in venice last year it's an amazing movie and definitely deserved the top prize last night at the globes i was however a bit surprised with sasha baron cohen and he won best actor in a comedy for bharat movie film and i'd expected colin to win a globe last night but i thought it was going to be in the dramatic category because he was also nominated for his amazing performance in the trial of the chicago 7 and i think the globes voters really missed a trick there because i mean he was an incredible man it would be great to see him take home that prize i have to agree with you there are lots of controversy around the golden globes traditionally and they're often criticized for this lack of diversity that they have so a number of awards did go to actors of color and there was a serious nod to women well that what this controversy to rest or do you expect it

to continue. no you know they could contras his death we're going to continue it's has legs as they say i mean the globes is an incredibly powerful organization in hollywood it's the 2nd most important award show after the oscars but the group that votes on the golden globes the hollywood foreign press association is probably the least diverse group of any of these voting bodies as we heard they have no white no one white members and though it was great to see a lot of quite diverse group of winners last night a lot of nonwhite talents taking home a golden globes much deserved i think this isn't going to change the discussion and isn't going to change the need for really systematic change within the globe's organization ok now of course germany is disappointed because it's nominee helen not saying i didn't win this time around but she does have quite a bit of time doesn't she. yeah i mean it's almost 12 years old so i think she's got plenty of time for a rematch at the globes she was up for best actress in

a drama for alongside tom hanks in western the news of the world she lost out to jodie foster in that category who won for her role in the mauritanian so if you're going to lose that the golden globes losing to a 2 time oscar winning hollywood legend like jodie foster that probably takes a bit of the sting out of it i would say so and speaking of jodie foster she is headlining a round up at berlin's international film festival which runs this week and prides itself on privilege and political films in particular let's take a look at the mauritanian you need to tell me the truth you need to tell me what happens when i hit the plane do you want to stand next to the fire and nothing whatever i said it. doesn't matter. a defense lawyer and her client mohamedou old slahi from mauritania is in custody in guantanamo he's accused of having aided the terrorists who carried out the 911 attacks but is he really guilty

golden globe winner jodie foster place lawyer nancy hollander like the real person the character is based on she also believes in the law. you know how our country is shaped by that how the world is shaped by that and if there was ever there was anything that made me believe in democracy in the rule of law it's been making. the film copilot is also based on a true story having to do with 911 astley love say yet a seemingly perfect love story but then he becomes one of the terrorists on that fateful day september 11th 2001. was the man she must have asked herself at some point was that a monster could i really have loved a monster how could i do that but on the other hand she knows very well that he was also loveable. mother has dementia learning the last. the film dissects the main character's pain without making her seem naive that

makes copilot into a successful illustration of the maxim love is blind even against the backdrop of the terrorist attacks that changed the world. as some heavy stuff there with 911 a recurring theme scott why are politics so very important at the belly not what role that they play. poll groups are or are said troll the berlin film festival probably there more than at any other film festival in the world and makes sense because i mean the festival itself was set up as a political statement it was originally set up in west berlin and divided city as a statement of artistic freedom and political freedom in opposition to the censorship and political oppression on the other side of the wall in east berlin and in the communist bloc and you always see that but the real focus on serious political movies and they're often the ones that when the awards and i often have the feeling that the jury in berlin will often use their own wards as to make

a political statement i think that was partially case last year when on a rainy and film one from a director who suffered censorship in his home country and was actually put on in under house arrest in iran and was unable to attend the festival so i think you see this sort of political stuff thread throughout the festival and it's always been center to what the delhi doll is now we don't have time to hear about all of them but tell us just very quickly which other titles might have caught your attention. there's a couple i'll mention really quickly the ballad of a white cowering in film about a woman whose husband is executed a miscarriage of justice seems really really interesting compelling and courage a film from a documentary which is sort of an inside look at the protesters on the streets in belarus trying to return little 100 that's very very timely content indeed there scott and the 71st probably not taking place online will be speaking to you all this week so thanks very much for that 1st overview scott ross perot in bowling.

all the older players know what it means to play 2nd fiddle as the saying goes usually taking a backseat to the violence in an orchestra so it's refreshing to hear the deeper mellower sound of the viola get some air time of its own japanese australian the oldest he only to grew up here in germany and her new solo album recorded in lockdown braves' some new territory with her instrument 'd 'd 'd 'd 'd 'd. pili togo surrounded by nature and sounds in a berlin park during these pandemic times the young violist has often found inspiration here including for her latest album songs of solitude. for this project she commissioned 11 composers to create music for her one of them was toshio.

childhood and he started hearing melodies and one of them was. cherry blossom he is also someone that connects with nature very much and brings nature into sound. another of the striking works written for songs of solitude is by finnish composer color of the art of. this piece calls for to go or to play and sing. actually had this clear vision and front of me and which i thought wouldn't that be the most wonderful gift if we could distill into sound the isolation that we are globally facing in order to give people

a place through music through these songs of solitude. to reflect upon what we are dealing with and to cope with it. among with music what has helped to go in this time is painting she sets before the canvas each morning and allows her imagination to run wild the result is colorful pictures full of optimism like some of the compositions she recorded for the album. that includes a piece by british composer john powell making songs of solitude had a positive impact on the violist. it didn't change my approach to music but it definitely gave me a deep sense of belief in music he only took our hopes to give her listeners not

only belief in music but faith in life itself. and on that uplifting note stay positive and we'll be back with lots more arts and culture tomorrow same time same place so thanks for watching all the best from bill and stacy.
