this is deja vu news a live from berlin president joe biden announces an ambitious new timeline to vaccinate the united states he says there will be enough doses to cover all adults 5 the end of may and he urges everyone to take the shot when it's their turn also coming up on the show serious charges against myanmar as military from the un special rapporteur for. doing interviews. in the military led by. clergy. he says crimes against protesters including murder torture and force of

disappearances. hello i'm claire richardson welcome to the show u.s. president joe biden has suggested the country could make serious progress out of the pandemic by independence day and biden has presented his updated strategy and said that the goal is that people are able to spend the july 4th holiday celebrating with their loved ones he hopes to achieve this by rolling out vaccines much faster than previously anticipated let's take a listen to what he had to say we'll have enough vaccine supply for all adults in america by the end of may that's months ahead of schedule and remobilize in 1000 of vaccinators to put the vaccine in ones or. calling active

duty military. retired doctors and nurses administrators and to doze to administer the shots and we've been creating more places to get the show and correspondent oliver salad joins me now from washington d.c. all over biden is now saying that there will be enough vaccine for all adults by the end of may and that is months sooner than the end of summer estimates that we were hearing even a few weeks ago why has that timeline been moved. yeah very vicious timeline clear because think back the president biden when he took office promised 100000000 doses in his 1st 100 days now you have more or less the same time frame. 330000000 eligible americans and that is for a variety of reasons of course in part is because of the former u.s. president and donald trump in all fairness that is criticized a lot over his poor handling of the pandemic but at the time he bought

a lot of vaccine doses and biden has added to this by facilitating by brokering you just heard him speak selvan explaining the military is involved in parts of the white house negotiated a deal between johnson and johnson and merck that are actually competitors but they are now working together to produce another 100000000 vaccine doses and that is already administered in stadiums and supermarkets there are a standby list so that really no. gets thrown away but do not forget the u.s. has suffered from this pandemic like almost no other country with 500000 casualties so there's a lot of pressure mounting on the administration as well in the vaccination seems like the only way out and just to be clear does this then mean that every american who wants a vaccine will be able to get a vaccine by the end of may. yes it

does but of course not everyone who is eligible wants scene and then also you still need an appointment so the distributional of course will take some other time and then you have the problem that not everybody wants it there is a lot of skepticism especially among minorities and that will be another big challenge for the biden of ministration to convince all americans to get vaccinated we also heard that in his speech when he appealed to everyone to trust science and get vaccinated however it's a big day in washington because biden on a thursday has also signed a mammoth 1 point one trillion dollar coronavirus relief package what is that going to mean for the u.s. vaccination strategy. and that is the largest package of its kind in the history of the united states i think that's actually worth pointing out to there's a lot of concern about some macroeconomic questions resulting out of that size they are but it is money that is urgently needed there's $1400.00 u.s.

$1.01 time stimulus checks for americans that are suffering from poverty as a result of the pandemic unemployment support will be extended for millions that are out of work it will also help schools reopen and of course it will facilitate distributing the vaccine in the next weeks and months. correspondent all over salad in washington d.c. thanks for that update. meanwhile the european union has been a lagging behind the u.s. with its vaccine rollout. medicines regulator has now given the green light to the johnson and johnson shot almost 2 weeks after it was approved in the us and trials that johnson and johnson jabot was 67 percent effective at preventing people from getting its advantage over the others currently available is that it only requires a single dose. of the approval comes as several european countries pause the use of the astra zeneca vaccine they say it's a precaution until they can rule out a potential link to rare instances of blood clots. denmark norway and iceland

have temporarily stopped all use of the astra zeneca vaccine after some people develop blood clots authorities say it's very rare and there's no known connection to the vaccine but they want to investigate there for sure to do this for me i think it's the right decision to put the astra zeneca vaccines on hold for the time being until we have enough medical reasoning for continuing the vaccinations and of course i'm as upset as everyone else about this and the potential consequences but it's probably too soon to conclude on this matter when it has a risk of course it has to be uncovered and put in there saying not i am a basic was just getting from the algae the european medicines agency says so far the data shows the incidence of vaccinated people getting blood clots is no higher than unvaccinated ones view echoed by the british regulators 11000000 doses have already been administered across the u.k. . those countries that have decided to polls delivery they've

made a choice on balancing risks i think ultimately it's likely that this will be found to be not a. not a cluster that's causally related to the vaccine but choice is to wait until they've got sleep proof. the french health minister said he saw no need to suspend use of the astra zeneca vaccine france and germany are among the e.u. countries that will keep using it. what we call the risk benefit ratio which are the benefits from the vaccination as at this stage judged to be higher than the risks and of course investigations into that are in progress in france and other countries. intensive research will now be carried out and only time will tell whether the health authorities in denmark norway and iceland were justified in making their difficult decision. and a severe indictment from the un's human rights investigator on myanmar who said the

new military regime is likely. committing crimes against humanity with its deadly crackdown on people protesting last month's special repertoire tom andrews told the un human rights council that the military junta had murdered at least 70 people and the more than 2000 have been unlawfully detained he's calling for sanctions against the country's military leaders let's take a listen to what he had to say as of this moment credible reports indicate that mean more security forces had murdered at least 70 people that a president who was murdered was full of his sons mothers daughters husbands and wives it were educators they were engineers they were students they were many were going to half of those were members of generation c. or young people under the age of 25. mattered president that country of being more is being controlled by a murderous illegal regime its current leadership perpetuated the atrocity crimes that are the focus of the charge of genocide before the international criminal

court of justice. un special rapporteur on myanmar tom andrews speaking there and his comments followed news that 9 protesters were killed by security forces on thursday leaving more families mourning the loss of loved ones. like she has a son is 2 months pregnant and a husband who is determined to join protesters on the streets of me and i know only what he goes to the protest every day even though i ask him not to. believe that i told him there be trouble if something happens because we have a child and another baby on the way. to go and i can't stop and i'm now thought i knew that. what foods children were raised without a father husband chipman food shot dead by security forces at a yangon protest. well there you know downer and he said it's worth dying for now i

know he's worried about people not joining the protests. if so democracy won't return to the country he's worried about democracy now what that has passed away. what was the violence isn't slowing down and me in my. peaceful protests and met with the fishes for oppression in what rights group amnesty international is calling a killing spree. more protestors were killed across the country on thursday. the bloodshed not intimidating doors at the demonstrations. my lot we knew that we protest peacefully but they cracked down on us violently that it it's ok the more they crack down the stronger the revolution is we will continue until we win something now that. the protests started last month in response to the military seizing power and detaining civilian leader aung sun suu kyi. the ruling you into made their most serious allegations against her to date without evidence they

claim suit she took illegal pirates of $600000.00 u.s. dollars and gold and pay from her party denied the allegations. the military also reiterated that they will remain in power until the new elections are held but haven't offered a date. that isn't good enough for the protesters who are vowed to continue their demonstrations matter the cost. no money. while a collage of digital images has sold for almost $70000000.00 in a world 1st for a major auction house the work by contemporary artist a bugle exists only as a.j. peg file and it was 13 years in the making people said the price tag which makes him one of the most expensive living artists in the world was unfathomable the winning bidder is now the owner of a digital asset known as an n.f.c. or not fungible hogan sales of which has boomed recently. that has left us

scratching your head then you may not be alone joining me now to hopefully bring some clarity to the whole world of digital art sales and f.t.c. is our reporter matthew or so matthew this person who's just spent $70000000.00 on artwork what exactly are they getting yeah almost ludicrous to say because the lucky bed will be taking home a masterpiece to hang on their wall which is a real shame muchly because the artwork in question is. and instead they will take home a jeep paid with which is $21000.00 pixels. under the n f t and the n f t is the norm fungible token and that's the key part that's the that's the expensive part and then if he has a digital certificate of ownership of an asset in this case the artwork and the n.f.t. have been exploding in popularity recently basically n.f.t. exist on what's known as the block chain and that works like this if i send you

a photograph typically on e-mail or. forms i have a copy and you have a copy of the block chain that doesn't work so i send you the photograph you don't have the photograph and i no longer have it and you are the owner of that 40 graph or in this case on an f.d.r. nonfunctional talking and this is the future yeah i mean i can imagine why that would be appealing to digital artists who want to actually be the owners of their work and have that you know create some kind of value i mean do you think this is going to be the future of art auctions i certainly think. you can see new to see prices like the one that we saw today $70000000.00 then. this will turn a dollar i mean i don't think this is a flash in the pan either people who goes by the name mike winkleman he sold a work of our a few weeks ago while a piece of his was sold for $6600000.00 we can see here 10 2nd clip. so that just gives you an idea it's not flushing the pond he's kind of

a latter day digital leonardo da vinci. and so but it's not just it's not just art works there's also people are selling tweets the n.b.a. is selling clips of basketball players playing the best shots which sports fans can collect this kind of memorabilia and they can pay hefty prices falling to $200000.00 for one clip or one f. t. i'm all kinds of an easy issue where this is going to go i mean it's. it seems like it's the future of digital ownership but it. could be risky and if people lose interest it could lose value. a reporter matthew moore we'll be keeping an eye on that thank you so much for breaking it down for us. well it is freezing in russia and one ballerina has used the subzero temperatures to dance on water. going viral with this video shot at minus 15 degrees celsius she took to the frozen

a gulf of finland performing a scene a from a swan lake and she's posted the footage in a protest against plans to build a porch because the construction would just royal beach popular with both swans and people. that's all from me for now sarah kelly will be with you in 45 minutes time with more news thanks so much for watching the news. more than half the world will be leaving with limited water resources we haven't had to think about our war i think that era is over it's a financial product like any other financial. change to most important commodity if you can't be free for. her mississippi or commodity starts march 22nd on d w. now

this is a small. planets it's a generous planets it's always given us what we need to survive and grow. today there are nearly 8000000000 people in the world and we still dream of abundance. our use of digital and green technologies has skyrocketed as a result we devour a gigantic quanta. of metals but what if we've gone too far in our exploitation of the us. in the 21st century scarcity is threatening. perhaps it's time to seek our metals elsewhere.

we are the 1st generation that can look at the planets and can look at the stars and see we can be there we can do that we can touch the stars we can touch the planets. chanter scullion is just 23 years old after its selling in his studies of international trade he founded the asteroid mining corporation in the british city of liverpool it's far from being a multinational corporation he has a few colleagues across europe they only rent office space when they need it what mitch hunter scullion are selling is an idea we are on a planet which is fair to 6000 kilometers in diameter and we're in a position whereby use the resources with a growing population are it up would lead to policing the end of sources to comparable to the sources of our society needs to explain surely for at least a 100 years. you can find almost every the source you can find on air for an

asteroid just in varying quantities to give you some approximate figures of all the mains on air force could only mean 200 tons of platinum on a single one kilometer diameter asteroid of metallic composition we can these niblick speak to faint at least a 100 photos and tons of platinum paired asteroids so you know under possession where one asteroids can provide more platinum and gold than every male in human has to be combined. deep space industries. chum to scullion isn't the 1st to bet on the idea of space resources nearly a decade ago deep space industries and planetary resources appeared on the scene to great p.r. fanfare but isn't sure but dr peter. seattle april 2012th the vision of planetary resources is to make the resources of space available to humanity both in space and here on earth the earth is feeling

a resource pinch and ultimately we have the ability to turn that which is scarce into abundant and so now is the time that we need it most both us companies were created thanks to major private funding eric anderson we also have been fortunate enough to to include in our company 2 of the key people at google so we have larry page from google eric schmidt from google this is smart money investing in one of the largest commercial opportunities ever going to space to gain resources for the benefit of humanity. these new players flaunted their finances and their ambitions and that was enough to get the blogosphere excited about their potential.

in the history of astronomy the existence of asteroids was unknown until recently yet without realizing it we've always encountered them thanks to the fact that full to us as meteorites. for god to send you look at the scar you don't see rocks getting used to be i do that rocks could fall from the straw i took until the late 18th century hundreds you timson. is a professor at the national museum of natural history in paris. he's responsible for the meteorite collection. but not true the sentiment of all through the 17th and 18th century is that there was an idea that meteoroids might be thunderstorms or lightning stone it was cynical over some scholars who could conceive of rocks falling from the heavens and that they couldn't think of anything beyond the atmosphere. in 794 german mathematician and me was the 1st to propose that their origin was outside the

atmosphere little by little the entire scientific community accepted the idea that meteorites come from bodies of rock traveling through the solar system. in 1801 italian astronomer drew seppi p.s.c. mapped the stars on january 24th he detected the shadow of a planet his calculations told him should exist between mars and jupiter. in fact he had just discovered ceres the largest asteroid in our solar system other discoveries followed juno vesta in 868100 objects were detected. today we've counted nearly a 1000000 asteroids which all bit between mars and jupiter in the so-called

asteroid belts. the only fire $100.00 solo of stores across the asteroid belt with my eyes closed and the asteroids are numerous small in an infinitely large space on the. ability of the country one is still very low as to. patrick michel is an astrophysicist at the nice observatory he's an asteroid specialist who has taken part in the largest solar system exploration missions of nasa and other big space agencies in 2012 planetary resources i asked him to join their team of top flight consultants just the asteroids contain resources similar to what's found on earth because they're

the remains of the building blocks which formed the earth and other planets in the beginning 4.5 or 6 or 7000000000 years ago our solar system was a disk of gas and dust and circled the song when this dust began to come together into clubs some of which ended up as planets heart of this material never managed to form a planet and that of the twin mars and jupiter and the asteroid belt these are still so. it is probably the case that nearby jupiter with its gravitational force prevented these asteroids from gathering as it were given. in other words every time these asteroids tried to unite jupiter's gravitation would disperse them again as they would give us only far from jupiter's influence billions of asteroids did manage to collect little by little they formed the earth as it grew its composition changed celeste all celestial bodies and asteroids and

planets are like a hot inside because of radioactive decay because when the temperature rises they melt and one of the made up of rock and metal melts the denser metal tends to be found at the center of the body because the rocks are found on the outside. for me when earth was formed iron pulled out of the elements which tend to bond with aren't enough you need gold and platinum for example he will feel so all the pressures. elements went into the core so that one remains in the mantle comes from the impacts that took place after the earth formed plentiful much. later heavy bombardment of the abundance of rare metals we have of the mantle can only be explained by the collision of asteroids of book when you wear a piece of jewelry much of what you heard of comes from celestial matter the asteroids. in that case the riches of the earth's crust are only a tiny fraction of what's in the asteroid belt. after studying the characteristics

of meteorites that came from there we can sort asteroids into 3 main types. when there is a religious type objects are mostly silicates richard rocky material resistant and formed the sun city c type of carbon type asteroids rich in water are formed to beyond jupiter where water can condense them there's a kind that contains your to helicopter. type to really get them from metal. these are also the rarest type one of them is psyche and metallic mammoth more than 200 kilometers in diameter it's a product of the solar system's intense phases of formation many planetary embryos have formed but unlike earth these massive bodies with iron cause never reached

a sufficient size to withstand collisions. according to space miners fragments of these metal cause would contain much higher proportions of rare metals than those found on earth they travel through space more than 250000000 kilometers away they can't be accessed without the help of celestial mechanics. between mars and you. there are unstable regions in which celestial bodies orbit the sun on a lengthening trajectory that's lengthening can reduce the minimum distance from the songs and make them intersect with earth's trajectory in terms of the thrust needed to reach them from earth some of them are more accessible than the moon. these asteroids that sometimes pass very close to our planet are known as near earth objects. there are more than $20000.00 of them.

and they are the main targets of space minus. mastoid many corporation is developing though good not to be utilizations beasties or seas. we're looking to prospect to explore and extract with either some asteroids. our 1st project is to essentially cut the bt piece of fluff defoe's masteries. this type of database already exists the most famous one is asked to rank the numbers found that can make the head spend but for the most part they're merely estimations based on the type and size of the asteroids observed. to accurately assess the solar system's resources space minus the developing their own observation methods. to achieve this mit chanter scullion is

working with john moore's university in liverpool. professor ian steele is an astronomer who specializes in studying meteorites using spectroscopy. was. spectroscopy is simply the process of splitting light into its colors takes the light and one of them passing through a drop of water that we have the rainbow we passed through a piece of glass so either a prism or grating shows lots of lines ruled on it and not to the same option it splits the light into a different color so we can observe it if we just look at something like assume that has a more all the colors of the rainbow in it because the sun is made of lots of different gases if we look at the spectrum of a single element like new york or let me just get a few different colors. like a fingerprint patterns of different wavelengths of light different colors of light which is unique to that element. spectroscopy in theory can determine any element

has all the elements of the long different chemical signatures in all their own different patterns of light asteroids are a long way away in space so obviously we can't sample them directly so instead we have to look at the life of the bits of asteroid which we call me to write to the fall to the ground on earth. the steel compares the light spectrum of the meteorites with that of the asteroid he observes from earth and combines the 2 he's then able to estimate the composition of each asteroid that the observation process for an earth is not seizing. the light from them is very faint. we need the biggest telescope to observe and to collect as much light as possible and that makes it more precise but it will still never be as good as we can record here on the poetry on the earth to round the earth we obviously have no atmosphere around the sun so

there's nothing blocking the different wavelengths of light so we can make a more fine discrimination between different types of asteroids because remember we're trying to do here is not necessary to find asteroids that are iron in them we want to find us toys that are platinum group and well worth metals the signatures are much more subtle so the challenge with the project we want to do with e.m.c. is taking the spectrograph that we've built for telescopes on the earth so we operate a telescope out of the palm of big to me telescope that weighs 20 tons and i suspect a graph on it with 10 kilograms what we've got to do is try miniaturized that down into something it will fit in a cube sat on the size of a cereal packet and most only we have a few kilograms. i'm ready. i'm so ready wait wait a minute let me read just go pro bowlers are for.
