90 such years estrogenic will do the same of course they don't test it yet so justin jensen have done single dose and that's one of the major importance a significance of this vaccine right so here in europe you has been criticized for its slow roll out of vaccine so i guess something like this one shot and more vaccine around anyway that's going to help speed up the process significantly absolutely i think that is the one of the proclaimed that idiot if you don't make a lot of x. if you make vaccines but it cannot really manufacturing situation is not that good or they're only a roll out is a difficult that's the problem. that is the problem all is for a vaccine so it looks like johnson and johnson worked out that already and several other vaccines no i think that we are in a very good position and i think that europe should not have any more difficulties

to get access to some of this vaccine and control the disease and how far is the sort of production lag between approval and actually getting these vaccines out of the door because one of the problems that europe has had of course has been. they've got all these people waiting for the vaccines and then various supplies are saying well we can't actually produce enough is that likely to be a problem with jones and johnson. well for all that since the same problem but johnson and johnson now have 2 different companies are going to produce that one producing ringback one man if they are going to actually manufacture both of them and i think that that will help. to produce much many more deuces and that's what the us is talking about i mean we have don't we have the scientists we make the vaccines but the manufacturing is the different companies in different capacity they need. so many doses we need and that is the problem but i think they're

working out and are fighting bravely designing you know how this news comes as we hear that denmark and norway and iceland have suspended their use of astra zeneca vaccine to some patients developed a blood clots anything that's justified. no not really because that's not probably due to the vaccine itself maybe they have some underlying problem in. this you know differences in a way for decision makers and in a virus his vaccine versus johnson's insulin or a sporty you know the vaccine so i think that only a tin of viruses are quite the one they use as a vector quite safe there's no problem about that and already approved millions are given in england so there is no difference between other peoples and in england so i don't think there's any problem i think they have other problems that's the

that's the many shoes. they're looking to. thank so much for joining us professor professor palming roy from the funder school of hygiene and tropical medicine thank you. today marks a year since the world health organization declared a coded 19 pandemic the 1st coronavirus cases appeared in the chinese city of will one officials there identified a seafood market as the source of the outbreak the virus quickly spread across the world if you would becoming the new epicenter lockdowns of border closures didn't stop it moving and before long almost every part of the world was affected. so how are countries around the world coping yeah well we asked our correspondents in israel south africa and india one year on israel is one of the leading nations when it comes to vaccination campaigns against covert 19 over 50 percent of israelis have received at least one dose of the vaccine but health officials are

still concerned about the new variants and with over 5900 people losing their lives to cope with 19 in this past year the government has often been harshly criticized for mishandling the crisis but after 300 lockdowns people are now looking forward to going back to some kind of normality despite the problems that you cannot make people here are trying to remain optimistic and they are reasons for that the 2nd wave was not as bad as predicted especially considering the new mutation of the virus that wards was discovered in south africa for the 1st time also a vaccination programs have started and epidemiologists believe that up to 40 percent of the population contracted coverts before which gives some hope for the next wave to come. a year ago india was just beginning to talk about the corona virus and many of the people we spoke to was skeptical about just how serious it is

over the next c.e.o. india experienced one of the strictest lockdowns in the world and the highest ever case there would have close 210-0000 daily cases now however average cases every day are under $20000.00 and the vaccination drive is in full swing with markets airports and even some offices almost returning to normal many are once again wondering just how seriously they still need to take the credit of virus. we should just well the ending of that round up now is take a look at some of the other developments in the pandemic the international olympics committee well off chinese vaccines to athletes and teams preparing for the summer games in tokyo and the winter games in beijing the european medicines agency is reviewing an antibody therapy to treat curve of 19 in use drugs regulator is evaluating 2 substances being developed by a u.s. pharmaceutical company eli lilly and richer members of the world trade organization have blocked a push by more than 80 developing countries to waive patent rights in an effort to

boost production of vaccines for poorer nations brazil is suffering what one doctor has called its worst moment yet of the pandemic hospitals across the country including in the richest strait sao paolo have no beds left to treat covered 19 patients the number of daily deaths pushed past 2000 for the 1st time on wednesday into more than $270000.00 the total number of people killed by the virus the surge in infections and death is being fueled by a more contagious variant emerged in the amazonian city of man hours in january where the situation remains dire but as the w.c. your 100 mira's reports many becoming complacent. you see linda doesn't is back to living a normal life in need john want to reach an early date when the health system in the now is collapsed she had been infected with the newest train a sticker on

a virus and needed oxygen by the city run out of feet by the sea was now will. its aim to apocalyptic. was my head the more religious people said it was a sign of the end of the world realm it's probably really was a night in that hour from now but i never thought i would experience such a dramatic moment the moment the film that i'm much less seen it's a moment the sea descends to cops forgotten this is the main market in manassas even those stores on businesses are only allowed it to operate at 50 percent of their normal capacity and despite the scientists warnings about emergence of more and more dangerous variants the market is always overcrowded. about 13 new strains of think we're on a virus had been that that death in minot was one off then the one is responsible for 60 percent of current infections in the region suggesting that it is smart transmissible and that number is on the rise race and fears of it there are good

ways it's good to leave it today margin stuff even more dangerous bargains according to devide although just who discovered that he was trying. to squash people to behavior scares me. because they are seeing the situation the worse and yet they continue to live as if things are normal so that could mean that we will soon have a much more serious situation. according to the studies by the field research research foundation the government of vaccines are still effective against the p one strain is but a nation center can add mr thousands of those disparate day but even here the oath already is our own neighbor implement physical distance in. a moment when vaccination starts there are always a lot of people but then the crowding goes down when all the people come for backs eventually they bring one or 2 relatives and that's what causes the crowds of the

woman. with more than 7 percent of it's being habitants by the united states of us where my mouse is located because administers them most adults is today to brazil however it is still a far from containing the virus without social distancing people will continue to die from the virus. the city has made space for 22000 new graves in the cemetery it's an a horrific forecast of what the new variants could bring to my knowledge in the near future. while i took more news from around the world now starting in japan which is marking the 10th anniversary of the massive earthquake and tsunami that destroyed towns and triggered the fukushima nuclear disaster a minute's silence was observed across the country in tokyo and not here to lead an official ceremony to pay tribute to the more than 18000 people lost their lives.

u.n. secretary general antonio good terraces described syria as a living nightmare after 10 years of conflict he said syrians have enjoyed shocking atrocities economic collapse and soaring poverty fueled by corruption sanjay. kovac 19 pandemic of also taken a toll. at least 20 people have been killed in a massive fire in a garment factory in north of the egyptian capital cairo 34 others were injured in the blaze at the plant in bore because of the fire is not yet known. that to me and where the military judge has leveled fresh charges against deposed leader on some suchi accusing her of accepting illegal payments were $600000.00 and gold one in power so far they've pretty produced and no evidence to back up the charges meanwhile at least 6 people have been killed in myanmar on thursday after security forces fired on them during demonstrations they were in the town of milan taking

part in protests against last month military coup which overthrew some sunni cheese government there are also reports that at least one other person has been killed in the country's largest city young gun this latest violence comes a u.n. security council demanding the ministry restore democratic control. it is absolutely essential to respect the results of the elections and to allow for. a situation in reach we move back to a democratic presidents get more from journalist to under malcolmson who joins us from young gun well commander. let's start with those deaths in may in ma and in may and i'm the young gun that followed just hours after answer and i'm turn your good terrorist made that speech. yeah we'll so we've heard that there have been protests in. plenty of time since the coup this is the 1st time that we

know of that they've opened fire with deadly force there's obviously been other deaths in yangon before but it all feels kind of random like the just on some that's just flatly not true like you said the overwhelming majority of the protesters have been totally peaceful and are and we have seen you know teenagers young women shot in the head it really doesn't reflect what the tatmadaw is saying about only using force when necessary they seem to use force totally indiscriminately i was on the country's former civilian leader she's facing new allegations that seem much more significant than the 2 shot you see face biffle yeah these are the big charges she had been charged for some kind of kind of silly things before violent nights here her street gins illegally importing walkie talkies i think these were kind of placeholder charges while they tried to dig up

something a little more serious corruption charges of seeing people sentenced to prison for as long as 30 years so i think these are the charges that they're really hoping are going to permanently sidelined on some suchi from politics right i'm i'm one of a saying that she has done. well like you said they haven't offered as a ton of details they said she accepted illegal payments $600000.00 in cash and gold they said the information came from the n l d e's chief minister in yangon. but all we have so far is the military support. meanwhile the shooting continues and the protesting continues and no one seems to be giving way. yeah i mean the tatmadaw seems to really be digging their heels in and they haven't responded very well to any suggestions for diplomacy or dialogue and i think the n.l.

deeside kind of feels like they shouldn't have to negotiate or make any concessions because they want to know actually in an overwhelming landslide so under what normal circumstances with the winning party you have to make any concessions so both sides seem quite far apart thanks for joining us under not consent and younger . to china where the country's parliament has backed the communist party's plan to tighten control of hong kong by overhauling the territories the electoral system the national people's congress voted overwhelmingly to pass the resolution granting beijing powers a veto over counting votes to ensure that the city is governed by what they called patriots critics say the charges will eliminate all remaining opposition called it a final nail in the coffin of hong kong democracy. let's get more from d.w.i. correspondent phoebe kong who is in hong kong welcome phoebe so talk us through

what practical difference these changes will make. beijing has taken a controversial powers to push that actually phone call home call by bypassing its locos scrutiny so a new venting all the niceties who will be a set up to screen the candidacy of all major local elections in hong kong in the future. proposal will also give greater power to electoral commentary which just last these facts would be probation spec is even a pos they it was originally responsible for taking the chief executive but in the fish church they were also being charged for deciding the candidates and some of the weakness in the local bother modes and that means that they will have the power to decide who can run for the election and although the size and the composition of the actual committee and legislature will be expended you were effectively except michele hotshot threshold for the opposition camp to become candidates and not to

mention to win the election if you should win this term a patriot's is an interesting one who will decide who is or isn't a patriot and one of the criteria. well that is indeed across solve the problem that patients are to some under the current context in hong kong that beijing is unclear and fake concepts without specific legal definition 40 stressed so-called patriotic politicians must not endanger national security but i came to the meaning could be arbitrarily or properly interpreted that over the past 2 days since the announcement of the reform we have her senior officials in hong kong and beijing the other kids claiming patient this whole lease that left china is not only about the love to the motherland but also support for the ruling party the ruling communist party and no opposition to the incumbents governments so does this effectively kill the opposition in hong kong is democracy

not done and dusted. but this is indeed the largest political earthquake since the imposition off a national security law in hong kong over the past 2 decades even under the rx democracy the opposition came could see you constantly secure 60 percent of the popular votes on the ground and after 2019 posthaste air gamey increasing popularity and elections are now the few remaining legal ways available for activism but the latest me form could spell the end of many political career some leaders already said that it's no longer meaningful for them to run for elections in the future because they don't think there is any room for them to pass through the so-called patriotic test and also already on their hand coast certainly some and others say that this could also pose a challenge to the pope beijing cam as they would have to compete with each other fiercely in the future in terms of loyalty to beijing so as

a whole the political landscape in hong kong is expected to be shaken up very soon thank you for that roundup that phoebe phoebe called in hong kong. most towards making headlines around the world now at least 27 people have been killed and 39 others injured in a bus crash on indonesia's java island the bus was carrying a group of junior high school students teachers and parents when it plunged down a ravine police are investigating the cause us secretary of state had to be blinking as described violence in ethiopia region as ethnic cleansing and called for the withdrawal of every trained troops washington's most senior diplomat call for a reconciliation process to restore peace and 50000 people have been killed since who broke out in november. high court in pakistan has ordered the government to ban the social media app tick-tock it's the country's 2nd attempt to outlaw the platform of the claims that it's spreading indecent content the previous blog was
