media blackout like india or days and a military boot 0 where we used to say no news is bad news so i did this is what the. moment. i am already pretty but that there will be 5. dollars and you bet as me there will be no no more press freedom but. at the same day i mean to say that the i was so resort in discipline democracy i don't know how they going to blend democracy with any vibrant media in this country we'll have to leave it there tony so a lot from democratic voice of burma thank you for sharing your perspective with us today. now for a look at some other headlines from around the world european lawmakers have decided to lift the parliamentary immunity of former catalan president carlos and 2 out of his colleagues the 3 who are members of the european parliament fled to belgium and 2017 fearing arrest after holding an independence referendum that spain said was illegal immigrant is expected to request for extradition. police in mexico

city have used tear gas against demonstrators at an international women's day march the government had put up barricades in front of a national palace to contain the protests several police officers and demonstrators were injured in the clashes. hong kong has announced plans to overhaul its elections the beijing promoted plan is to ensure more quote patriots are in charge additional reforms will target schools in an effort to instill more loyalty to china among younger generations critics say the changes are focused on destroying the pro-democracy movement. huge well dozens of countries are looking to china to rescue them from the covert 1000 pandemic that is because the chinese government has pledged to donate nearly half a 1000000000 vaccines world wide after its failure in handling the initial outbreak of covered 19 beijing is eager to repair its image in the world vaccine diplomacy could be the tactic to change the narrative and expand its global influence as

chief international editor richard walker reports. in a europe ravaged by covert 19 this is what hope looks like belgrade serbia waiting in line for liberation from the pandemic but these injections are about more than public health they were flown in from china to a presidential welcome chinese state t.v. on hand to capture the moment just the latest part of a massive pandemic rebranding exercise that makes his medical assistance with decision from asian. crisis in afterwards also to try to spin the debate in a way that many look like a star in china and china was you know the 1st country to report that what's happening here is something that goes well beyond the pandemic and far exceeds the scope of china's official diplomatic missions like here and. it's

a much bigger campaign foad lobel influence it's been building up the years i will continue long after the pandemic is over. the most visible driver of this is the belton road initiative a project spanning more than 100 countries that is redrawing the map of china's economic power in a single region in europe chinese funds of poor ring into highway bridges in montenegro a coal fired power plant in bosnia and a giant seaport in greece that may yet become the largest in europe. and you can see signs that these investments can translate into political influence like at the united nations human rights council where china won a show of support last year for its controversial suppression of freedoms in hong kong 4 out of 5 countries backing china had signed up to belton wrote. these efforts to shape global perceptions come right from the very top china's

president xi jinping was the opening speaker at this year's virtual davos meeting exuding confidence and positioning beijing as the world's greatest champion of global cooperation and their strong desire to show it was a curiosity are you a chinese. too said to give. examples that show why perhaps on the 20th century democracies were huge and useful and good but now for the 21st century vi only systems that are really suitable face the challengers of the century are systems that are closer to the chinese. u.s. president joe biden has made his debut on the world stage vowing to push back at that idea saying democracy will and must prevail. and germany's angela merkel says that the west must now engage in this unfolding competition that's up to

somebody it's important that it's not only china and russia that have been living vaccines to developing countries the and fix them stand there isn't 50 it might seem like madness that lining up for a vaccine can mean picking sides in a geo political battle but that is shaping up to be our new reality a battle for influence and even ideas about nothing less than how to run the world . let's talk more about this story now with francisco but now she's a member of the german parliament and spokeswoman for european policy with the opposition green party but now welcome to g.w. good to have you with us again do you think that china uses its vaccines to gain economic and political influence here in europe. we must 1st of all be clear that we need to get vaccines to all parts of this world and yes the

chinese a whole by accident strategy with a geopolitical strategy but i think we should not complain about the chinese and really get our act together and get better su penes and the west together with the americans it's our own problem if we can't even get enough to our own citizens be alone for i don't parts of the world so you're not concerned by economic and political influence again possibly by using these vaccines i am concerned but i'm not happy that the only reactions i see from the german government from other governments is just to complain and what chinese and russians are doing because in the end it's up to ask to show that we can do it that we can deliver and that's why we need to invest massively include our capacity not just in europe but also outside europe to finance it to get our companies to cooperate with local companies to produce more and that's really what needs to happen now we also need to have a vaccine sharing mechanism that is not just one or terribly. defined as we have it

right now and he you that wanted me we'll give and we'll share vaccines with the rest of the world so we have to show that we can really deliver and stop just complaining about others let's talk about this sharing mechanism here because china china is that seen diplomacy really has been a success in countries that don't have access to western vaccines and we have something here a quote from france's leading international relations expert beth somebody who said china has managed to present itself as a champion of the southern countries at a time when the north showed complete selfishness why is that why hasn't europe of lived up to its reputation here. your has also failed right way not just as that is but also partially citizens because europe has been good at it investing in the innovation that you know there is like your great biotech etc but has failed to regulate and or to it to market so that we have more production

capacities the us has been doing this to have family intervened in their markets we europeans have not and it's not you know a failure of the e.u. commission to the german government didn't do anything else either but we see that we need to into being more haven't we need to find and production capacity in your outside europe we need to get companies to cooperate on the ground to get or to have more than we can offer and share to other parts of the world because we can't go to chinese way and not vaccinating our own population and giving it out because that don't work in europe so we need to do it both will have to leave it there francis couplet no member of the german parliament spokeswoman for european policy with the green party thank you very much for joining us thank you now congo has suffered years of conflict tracing back to the massive refugee crisis

and spillover from the 1994 genocide in rwanda a complex web of armed groups now controls the eastern part of the huge country in central africa it is difficult for outsiders to visit but gained rare access to rebel held territory we met one woman who's a bears the scars of war but still has hope for the future here is a journey that our correspondent my umbrella took to find her. from now on it's what they called no man's land because not the government and also no specific rebel group controls this area that makes it also quite dangerous so right behind me this is where no man's land begins and this is well also how quieting happens on a regular basis. we are on foot the beauty of the landscape cannot distract from the constant fear of kidnap or being caught up in fighting. as soon as we can close the rebel militia sends an escort to take us to their base. one of them is mummify either she joined the militia almost 20 years ago after

another group attacked her village the man killed her parents with machetes 6 of them raped her she was just 15 she'd already been married the same group had killed her husband. i felt defeated my life had defeated me i saw what they had done to me and how they killed my family i couldn't continue my life like it had been. so i decided to become a fighter and drive them out. given the chance she'd shoot them on the spot she says when a former teacher began recruiting people to take revenge she joined him many in her group survived similar. it's a militia of traumatized damaged young people. they killed my father they killed everyone in my family that's the only reason i became

a fighter. the offer to revenge and survival they control around 20 villages in the area security for food in a deal they say is consensual but we saw local people running in fear from them the idea of consent is complicated for everyone. it's only when we are alone that says this. i hear that other people run away from the group but i think how can i run i have no one to help me i have no land i have no one who could help me build a life. she would like to trade her gun for the life she had before as a farmer. i would have had a good life with my husband one like other people have but that was taken away from me so. now she pours what hope she has in

her children that they will have choices one day. if god blesses me i could at least give them an education if their blessed at least i can never get another job so i cannot help them by myself. you're watching news still to come on our show with germany's head football coach bows out early what does this mean for the future of the cheap have a look at that in just a moment. but 1st to the prince his wife and what the world is talking about britain's prince harry and his wife meghan are spoken on t.v. about their intense struggles with royal life most of what they have to say to oprah winfrey has shocked the world and very likely buckingham palace to hear some of that interview i've advocated for so long for women to use their voice.

and then i was silent. were you silent or were you silenced the latter but i knew that if i didn't say it that i would do it and i i just didn't i just didn't want to be alive anymore my biggest concern was history repeating itself when i was about before and on your most occasions very publicly so when i asked the question why did you leave the simplest answer is lack of support and lack of understanding prince harry raised in the palace in a life of privilege and literally a prince how you were trapped within the system for the rest of my family all my father my brother they all tromped. let's go to london now that mass

is following the story forests hybrid the british public has not been able to watch this interview as well what reactions are you seeing there. it's interesting to me there was a snap poll and they were asking the people from what you have seen and heard wasn't appropriate or inappropriate and actually according to that poll almost half of the respondents said it was inappropriate so that chimes in that fits in with the larger picture of the queen is very very popular in the u.k. much more popular for example than harry and meg and it's really a picture of a nation divided into team wins and magazine team wins they would say it was titled it was whining that they are sitting in the luxury mansion and are talking about authenticity and the new life that they were seeking because they couldn't bear it anymore and then there are those who are saying that's really good on meghan that she has spoken out and that she's not allowing anybody to silence her

as a black woman so really polarizing interview one of the most damning allegations in that interview was the accusation of racism in the royal family let's listen to a clip and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born. what and who who is having that conversation with you. hold a hold out there are several conversations a conversation with you with harry about. how dark your baby is going to be. potentially and what that would mean or look like. they get there must be tremendous pressure now on the queen to publicly address this question of racism in the royal family. there is speculation of course that

the palace would have to react. harry has made it clear that it wasn't the queen or the duke of edinburgh who allegedly talked about racism botts really people are asking we know whether the palace will react for example we see in the leader of the opposition. the labor party saying that really almost calling for an investigation so really people are wondering if and when the palace will react. if we look at the timing of this you know what harry and meghan were hoping to achieve with this interview. they would most likely say that they were hoping to set the record straight and they they felt that has been so much bad press about maggie and particular that they felt the need to tell the ass side of the story and then there would be all those who are saying well they have now created almost a business empire that created a brand and that this brand needs to be fed with and in order to stay relevant so

again there are 2 sides of that story as well. reporting for us from london thank you. to sports now it's a big news in german soccer national coach is going to step down this summer after this year's european championships the german football federation said he asked to be released from his contract one year early the 61 year old has been in charge of the german national team since 2006 and lifted the 2014 world cup in brazil in what has been the highlight of his time in charge. and let's get more on this now with mark meadows from date of use for time market to see you how big of a surprise is this. it wasn't a massive surprise to me that has been a groundswell of opinion within the german game moment german fans that he's maybe reached the end of his time as the journey coach of aziz he's been there

a long time 2006 is an awful long time for codes to be there as a national team was he such a high point in 2004 seeing the world cup win but it's been downhill ever since really and if one kind of fell and change was needed it was getting a little bit stale even though he does have one year left on these concerts until the 2022 world cup but that's out of the question now he's leaving after the euros assuming they take place in june and july what about the timing of this why is he announcing this now i think after so much. all of the clear. the no clarity that he's been there's no time to talk several several months on what's happening and he said it was a collapse and now had a book qualifying that she's later on in march and say hey the situation i am leading after the euros that everyone's kind of calmed down it's sorted we know what the situation is and we hope then the players will play through more because they know it's going out on

a high. the euros the little cones you got to work up to look very ringback closely afterwards at the end of 2022 because the u.s. has been postponed. by you because iraq so it's in the very top of the weather takes over for him to get a team that he wants ready for the title in november 2020 to the from mark matthew meadows from get up the sports reporting for us there thank you. tennis royalty returns to the court in doha this week after 14 months out injured roger federer is back hoping to get some much needed fitness says he plans to add to his 20 grand slam trophies later in the year it's going to be hard at the age of $39.00 but federer says he is not going to give up any of his titles anytime soon. a lot changed since roger federer last walked out to prepare for a tennis tournament the facemask for starters but the effortless groundstrokes are still there despite months away from the course the federal says he's now

dortmund the biggest game the bundesliga has to offer even if iran were the only ones playing for the title this time around. good job and it was more about saving face. still the world wide spectacle had fans across the globe watching from the edge of their seats in sports bars even if not in german self as the country's pubs are still shut down due to the pandemic. and sadly it's now been an entire year without fans in germany stadiums 2. with only must wins a hand be the fed were hoping a new coach could save them from the drop saying goes for shall come up with their 5th coach of the season finally be the charm got back still have that coach but marco jose could really use a win against direct rivals leave it to send off to painful winless runs both teams were determined to get back in the run figure out. but let's begin with the title

race not with him but with these guys like say captain chance to go top in freiburg . like thirsty for their maiden. league title they're the only team in the lake who are still challenging for the crown. jewels man's man knew they could conquer the summit with a win and once again proved they do have the stuff of champions so how did they go about it. as per usual they applied the pressure kevin campbell forced. into a costly mistake that gifted light signal just before the break christopher and taking the honors with his 6 goal of the season the frenchman knows plenty about winning titles himself and playing 10 with p.s.g. by the age of $21.00 having players like and coo among their ranks is

a luxury small teams like freiburg simply can't afford. to. put one goal was not enough to satisfy not just man and when things got sluggish in the 2nd half like 6 tactician of the right idea he made a double change around the one hour mark to add more offensive power a demonstration of their depth and just a minute later at leipzig. this time in cuckoo turn provided as he sets up alexander's. partner again it was campbell who got the ball rolling allowing and conclude to sneak past 2 defenders before serving up. the norwegian on target with his 3rd goal season. in the 72nd minute substitute when he chan had the chance to make it 3 nil after him toying around freiberg defense it was keeper florian miller who finally out.

but it didn't take long before catalyst campbell was at it again. who slaughtered back to m.l. forsberg and. the state didn't miss goal number 5 for one of many attacking options that are keeping like city in the title race. but also their selfless teamwork speaks volumes to light 6 quality. not to mention it seems spirit. to many others the team did great from the start then to turn it up a notch again in the 2nd half that's an impressive showing that the past few weeks the thought that this team plays with a lot of hearts and passion. and shift in there's a mention of an uncharacteristic make give away gave 5 burger rescuer an opportunity just before the whistle but it's no easy task to penetrate like 6 go

for the best defense in the late they've conceded only 20 times this season in comparison to violence 34. we keep fighting until the 93rd minute and that's why we keep on winning because. we don't. we don't we we don't want to give one millimeter to the other team no millimeters were given in freiburg and you might see their 3rd straight 3 no win on the road in a particularly sweet way because as they boarded their bus at least. to the top of the table. like 6 bull magnets christopher and cook who had more than one slick move over the weekend alison had the wit and composure to selflessly swear him out the frenchmen struck home at like 6 flags. it's how our church.

clearly learned from palaces example when he skipped the chance to set up like 6 2nd. musically way to pass for. once again it's unselfish by justice for the 1st goal. that perhaps in confused best move the bull was helping his friend fill. that surely but added pressure on that title competitors but before the weekend's help match. with no further it is. inside the byron universe deck last week it is always a game of utmost importance saturday night's edition would once again be about the title except this time it wasn't dortmund vying with byan for the championship but light sick with taken top spot earlier in the day the biggest hurdle to the home

side's hopes was no doubt elling holland one of the world's hottest striking talents would be measuring up against world player of the year robert lewandowski. and was also up against the world's best keep. the young norwegian got off to a hot start with ryan dithering at the back the ball fell for holland who has ever seized the chance unleash his 1st speculative shot at manuel neuer. one nil dortmund in the 2nd minutes of play and in case you didn't hear or see it holland's perfect start was assisted by jerome boyd say with the same boot it would later spell the end of alan's day. advantage dortmund who were more than up for the fight in the early exchanges as 11 dusky found out the hard way. next nico schultz and talking as our teamed up to tee up part. delight for dortmund and

light 6 fans as holland's finishing was proving a danger to buy ins hopes of regaining the title lead just as his celebrating was proving a danger to teammates by and were under pressure and looking for a hero of their own to start the fight back. 26 minutes in your view a kimmage found leroy sunday in a bit of space which he made the most up to find guess who leavened of skinny. norman could have no complaints form a bion man mats hummels was left bull watching as a former dog and man did what he does best. eager for an equalizer leventhal ski certainly got stuck in the. past in the dorman defense in their efforts to stop kingsley come on yet. but we're not moved to who also left the freshman grounded the referee was prompted by a v.a.r. to take another look at a possible penalty decision. after an in or spacious start

things were heading in the right direction once robert leaven dusky said martin hits in the wrong direction so going into hard time it was all square. we know that the maybe the 1st 1520 minutes we didn't play but after 2nd goal that's how you can say that you're not ok now we have to push forward you have to try to score the 1st goal and the 2nd half we had this game under control and we know it ok come on boys we have to try to score there another god because we want to get to 3 points it looked for the briefest of moments as it hits would lend a shaky hand to their hopes of winning by spilling a shot from the boots of yours your kidney. but that big turning point from a dormant perspective came with the return of jerome boa tang's boots causing holland to be taken off 6 and forcing him to watch from the sidelines while nursing a bloody ankle. but saying would soon be cursing karma as he likewise made

a premature exit this time doing the damage to himself. but there was to be further agony for his opponents when tom and failed to clear in the 88th minute gorecki fire. and with the visitors still pondering that's west of fate. who else would show up to twist the knife. but robert leventhal scheme. another hat trick for the striker to bring his tally to $31.00 and another 3 points for bias after spending just a few hours in 2nd place they made a happy return to the top of the table reclaiming top spot from lights and once again they reminded dortmund the buyer of the undisputed kings of the classic. saying is the fans are being kept a long way from the action we decided to go

a really long way from the action to see how don't win fans in mexico city were enjoying the classic. image to something which people try to shift. and then to new york city where the mood improved among by and fans and the beers tasted sweeter once lay on the mets put them in front there was a new start. of the. pandemic has changed many things but not the fans faces off to the final whistle of jackasses. should be left to wonder at the end of the disappointing defeat in munich by. the alternatives.

before travelling to happen himes 3rd place vosburgh with the league's best side since the season restart and hasn't conceded any goals in their last 7 matches. but the rest was to become a thing of the past just 8 minutes into the game to stop baumgartner rattling in the. but soon enough 1st world's top striker was on his way to restoring power it say about the cost with his 15th of the season in the 21st minutes a cool bounce back from voles. just before the break though hoffenheim we're still deadly courtesy of that number one hit man andrei cram rich tucked away his protein the campaign and this time there will be no comeback for the whole. group is new york defeats never feel good but nobody believes we were going to remain unbeaten until the end of the season look i mean it can happen because we don't form on what should not be happening is this outrageous foul by paolo ottavio

on moon as a step forward in injury time a 2 legged lunge that was the most red card worthy assault in a long time. the eagles flying high in 4th and undefeated at home and played host to one of the league's top white sides stuttgart. the visitors had a man in their ranks looking to extend his own series and midway through the 2nd half sasha collide which made it 7 goals in 6 outings you do. less than 2 minutes lighter frankford one level below cottage given too much space to fire it. and the finally taken strike would be the last goal of the keenly for contest with no when a. move 9 games without a win left tatto ballin in serious relegation trouble and they slumped further into the mire right off to the starting whistle without spokes allows low benish found the end. it was

a shock have to struggle to recover from but eventually just past the hour mark christofi on tech plays to the occasion to get his side back into the game. and with the clock ticking down 14 smiled on hatter as new catch osama was tripped in the outspoken about 6. do you come back and focused on the job at hand to combat the spot kick and claim all straight line. big relief in berlin as hatcher showed they are winning at. cologne we're also looking to get some breathing space down to the bottom and desperately needed a win against brain. but it proved to be a nerve racking game to the hardships. that went ahead in the 66 minute just sergeant left on mark to head in his 4th of the campaign. the young american is becoming an increasingly pivotal figure for his take i don't

want to put you high expression on them but they're in there in the future he's from me for 15 gold strike of. cologne still want your nice hotel refused to accept the looming defeat and it was he who pounced on a howler by usually power blanka to grab a fortunately for life. 11 it ended up lanka frustrated but at the end of the dike his team could at least live with the one point better than the harsh. welcome frank comma previously red bulls lots of books you think had me directed he's been brought in by bill affects to keep them in the bundesliga. the game's up to worrying stopped with a nasty clash of heads between union rason and his own team.
