this is deja vu news a line from the eaves top medical regulators says the astra zeneca corona virus vaccine is safe the head of your european spends agency says there is no indication the shop is responsible for reported great cases of blood clots also coming out. of the u.s. top diplomat is in japan on his 1st trip abroad next stop south korea to pyongyang's nuclear weapons program is high on the agenda. and families in

myanmar mourning loved ones killed in the protest the united nations is calling on the international community to help and it's divided. and really 100 thanks for joining us the european union's medicines regulators says the benefits of the astra zeneca coronavirus vaccine outweigh the risks of any possible side effects that softer a number of e.u. countries suspended the use of the shots to 2 isolated reports of gut thoughts how in germany it's a blow to an already sluggish vaccination campaign. the corona vaccination campaign is a race against time it was already going slowly and then this. following a recommendation from the powell erlick medicines institute the government has decided to suspend vaccination with astra zeneca. every adult in germany has been

promised a vaccine shot before the end of september without astra zeneca that will be hard to achieve the immunization program is about to be expanded including 3 general practitioners like dr saw me in berlin he was getting ready to give the jab to hundreds of his patients every week now he's been put on hold as. we were prepared to start vaccinating we wanted to get going early we'd spoken to the medical bodies set everything up here in the practice and alerted many of the patients. and then came this big surprise. the government says if it is asking people to get the vaccine it has a g.t. to inform about potential risks but many doctors say the cautious approach will cause delays. i think they've not done the vaccination campaign any favors but

safety 1st i think it was important to put patient safety at the center of things so it was the right decision but then you need to publish the information behind it immediately. the european medicines agency is to give its verdict about fears that astra zeneca causes blood clots on thursday but even if the vaccine is given the go ahead for a 2nd time confidence in it has been dented from what through information that we get is that the value of astra zeneca is greater than the risks but of course having any risk is not a nice feeling for hard in this country i don't know if the. actually the risk of getting other people taking this my time is worth it or not because it's people are not being very clear about this situation if i have a choice i would take my own tech but if i have no choice it would take astra zeneca. doctor for he me hopes downs will not get the upper hand with the 3rd wave

of covert infections approaching he says that would be bad news to come as i have as an answer as i can only say from what i hear many people are still willing to take it of. course. germany has a shortage of vaccines a problem that will be much worse if hundreds of thousands of astra zeneca doses stay in the box well lawrence young is the professor of molecular biology at working with s.c. he criticized the move to suspend the use of the ash seneca vaccine because rather bizarre decision actually when europe's own regulator the. vaccine is safe and where all the data that we have so far cross the u.k. and europe suggests that the rate old block what it relevant in vaccinated individuals is no different from the unvaccinated general population so i think it's a worry to paul's vaccination particularly at

a time when infections are rampaging through europe. well germany is a leading infectious disease as she says that the virus cases are rising and this could lead to a 3rd wave of a $1000.00 infection rates are preventing plans to lift the country's locked out and open the economy but in the southwest city of tipping in their expense experimenting with a model that could help businesses reopen and also keep people safe. into going in and western germany and on the spot karuna test could be the ticket to go shopping. today so the start of a pilot project which also will allow theaters cultural institutions and restaurants with outside areas to open their doors. telling us more i think this model is even more important now because of vaccinations take much longer and infections rise it's pretty clear that there will

be no option but to shut everything down and i want to avoid that if at all possible. there are several testing stations throughout the city it's a 1st attempt to bring back a sense of normalcy but is it possible to get tested go shopping and really keep the numbers from rising. becoming a card with a socket at the moment we can't lose the astra zeneca vaccine we don't have high levels of protection and so we really have to be careful about the numbers here and to begin incident because we can't just open the city for business and let new cases skyrocket hawken within incidence the university hospital of tubingen is supervising the project which should see 10000 tests carried out each day for the stuff we'll see if we hope to see very early on to what extent the numbers are affected by the reopening of shops in their vehicle incidents for coffee boy there's still hope life will return to the city and businesses will survive whether

the project can be a game changer will depend on a number of new infections. a 2nd look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the syrian military says israel launched a missile attack on the suburbs of the capital damascus but it also added that syrian defenses shot down some of the missiles before they hit their targets adding that no casualties were reported. the u.k. is trying to lift a cap on its nuclear warhead stockpile as part of a foreign policy overhaul prime minister barak's johnson also announced in parliament that britain will pivot its foreign policy agenda towards asia. and u.s. vice president harris has vowed to fight to improve democracy and women's rights she delivered her 1st speech to the united nations in new york america's 1st female vice president said democracy could be strengthened by involving more women in decision making. at the u.s. secretary of state will the new u.s.

secretary of state antony blinken is touring the asia pacific reason he's pressing the by the administration's mission to keep a lid on the growing power of china lincoln was in tokyo for his 1st stop and he'll be heading to south korea soon which is the key u.s. ally but ahead of his arrival the sister of north korean leader kim jong un has warned washington over joint u.s. military exercises in the south in pyongyang's 1st salvo aimed at the biden team she says it should stop causing a stink. well that speaks to g.w. correspondent all of a sudden to fly for us in washington d.c. and get more details on this so some very strong words coming from the sister of the north korean leader kim jong il and oliver tell us more about what she said and also how it's being received in washington. now that's right well no direct response there to. you know your remarks the sister of the north korean dictator

and senior aide kim your own warning the united states basically to remain clear of north korea as she put in her own words secretary of state anthony blinken however in a recent interview gave a broader assessment on the relationship with north korea and he said that north korea is a bad problem that has gotten worse over time and he's certainly referring to the north korean nuclear program that continues to be a big concern for the united states. joe biden of course now blinken also said that the biden administration has been trying to reach out to the with korea via diplomatic channels since february and those attempts have been ignored by the north korean regime north korea now with the remarks of commune sr showing some force by issuing that warning and that is certainly also

a response so that now we know that the former u.s. president's relationship with north korea didn't exactly go to plan what does the current president joe biden intend to do differently. yeah well 1st of all donald trump of course tried at the time new approach that was unheard of in diplomatic circles these eye level meetings and bilateral with kim you know now as you remember no result came out of that critics say the only result is that it emboldened kim your own and it was also breaking with the former u.s. position and that is no direct talks with north korea as long as they're still working on their nuclear arms arsenal so north korea certainly to that end preferred to donald trump as the president joe biden announced involved that he would review the north korea policy considering sanctions as well but considering also diplomatic incentives and the ultimate goal however stays the same

and that is advancing the denuclearization of the korean peninsula right that is one of the sinus life for us there in washington d.c. thank you all of us. well dozens of families are holding funerals for people killed during protests in one activists say more than 90 protesters have died in the last 2 days and the military has imposed martial law in many areas to crackdown on dissent. a funeral for a 19 year old cutting your head one of the dozens of protesters killed in clashes since sunday. in the incendies strict of yangon protesters are digging in residents here are frightened but defiant they want the military to know they are prepared to defend their neighborhood. and i think if they oppress us more we will fight back harder like they have been lying tyo are. just on the other

side of the river lying thai our district has become a flash point of the protests. dozens of people were killed there on the weekend after police opened fire on demonstrators but residents of lying tyo are now fleeing by the thousands after the army imposed martial law there. it's the same neighborhood where multiple chinese own factories burned to the ground in arson attacks many pro-democracy protesters believe china has been propping up the myanmar coup china has urged its businesses to evacuate non-essential employees from the country and called on me on march to restore order. much of the international concern however has focused on the rising death toll among protesters the u.s. secretary of state issued a stark condemnation of the hunters actions of the military is attempting to overturn the results of a democratic election and is brutally repressing peaceful protesters the un has

also called on the me and more military to end the killings but to the frustration of many here and young gone the international community has had little more to offer than strong words no match for the hunt as deadly force. now just sports news and the ever modest latin abraham of it as calling his return to international football for the 1st time in 5 years there were 10 of god the 39 year old striker plays culpable for ac milan and has been included in sweden's club for 2 upcoming world cup qualifiers if you have it scored a record $62.00 goals in $116.00 games with sweden if you place he'll become the national team's oldest player. championing football now as well the final set of matches in the round of 16 the title holders by in munich will play wednesday but choose

a night's match ups included the german club mention god but against the best club in english premier league manchester city and city advance with a 2 no when and also afford an overall in the 2 mat series. meantime real madrid has also moved to the quarter finals by fish finishing off italian side atalanta. well his remind of our top story the salah the european medicines agency has said that there is no indication that asked is that because corona virus vaccine causes blood clots several european countries have suspended facts and nations with the shots they just see says the vaccines benefits outweigh the risks. that set you up to date up next is news africa can also find much more news and analysis on a website called under him ahmed thank you very much indeed for watching we'll see

you soon like. good. everyday compass for us and for our planet. colleague lloyd juice is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities scream or how can we protect animals from their 100 times what to do with the worst. we can make a difference by choosing reforestation over the forest should recycling or dispose

of smart new solutions oberstein said you know. earth is truly unique and we know that their uniqueness is what allows us to live and survive. why do you assume the environmental issues in global 3000 on t w i don't know. the full. this is the news africa coming up on the program young innocent lives cut short in gruesome killings and you reported on was a couple delgado province has found that children are dean who to the minute in the ongoing conflict also coming out. cameroon says it will not meet its people with astra zeneca vaccine as the base continually how about the possible side effects.

i imagine michael welcome to the program it reports just out by the global energy you save the children sas children as young as 11 are being killed in was a province of kabul delgado as a conflict that continues to displace thousands families report horrifying scenes of marriage and loved ones disappearing it's been very difficult to get any information out of the area due to the government's restrictive information policy bought after months of waiting. a credit and has now sent some wrecked insights into the brutal situation. we are traveling to cuba island where the united nations world food program is planning a food distribution program again. but our boats journey ends at the halfway point the tide is going out so we have to continue on foot the area

is dangerous on the close by mainland there are still regular attacks by islamist insurgents. it's you know. we've been on the road for 3 hours through the sea and the mangroves then we meet the 1st locals and finally we reach the remote island which was attacked by terrorists last year. they looted the village and murdered 2 people when we reached the food distribution venue the local hadifa ministration tells us the terrorists also kidnapped 30 children. 16 year old daughter one of our boys one of the missing children she disappeared without a trace. these people are just evil they come from far away take away our children and don't even tell us why what they want i am sad i'm angry i just don't

understand. he was there when when i was kidnapped he almost ended up in the same situation themself. they said we are taking you with us to our camp we will train you and teach you to shoot and make you a soldier but 5 boys 2 girls and myself managed to escape on the way there. after they said they wanted to make the boys into soldiers what did they say to the girls. i said who will make them our wives. so far there has been no international outcry because the news drew hasn't got out of the island without electricity or telephone network almost one year on many residents live in fear of another attack not a single soldier has been stationed here to protect them up to now. joining me

now is charles brix he's country director and was on be quick to save the children international welcome to the program so you just released very disturbing reports from mozambique particularly bother killing of children in such goosed some what are your major findings yes well thank you micah we're finding that children in their families are being chased from their compounds chased from their villages and in many cases it's quite violent and in some cases even children are being killed and there are even reports headings of children as young as 1112 years old it's really disturbing it sickens us to our core because of course children have no role in a conflict their innocence these stories just bring us to tears. almost brought me to tears when i was their report but why do you think children are being targeted in such a manner. well wasn't it isn't very very poor countries the poorest country

in the world and couple delgado the northern most province is the poorest province in the country and yet there are tremendous resources there and it's been perhaps underdeveloped for years and so there is a sense that some drivers of the conflict are about development but why target children we're just not sure certainly in other conflicts we've seen that children are treated all children can be obedient children are easier to control and so in some cases maybe children are being targeted to join the forces and we know the stories of when they refuse they are killed we know stories of 10 children being killed altogether because they're refusing to join the insurgence so well you see that all parties to this conflict must ensure that children not have are targets that's not fortunately the case because this is an insurgency and you have talked as don't play by the rules how else can children be protected well we're never

going to abandon our commitment to international humanitarian law and what's happening here is a tragedy and it's just inconceivable so we are calling on all parties just stop the war on children whether it's mozambique or yemen or nigeria we must stop the war on children across the world having said that we do believe that peace is possible and peace is what will protect the children that mozambique in government has demonstrated in the past a willingness and ability to negotiate with enemies and with opponents they have signed peace deals and treaties and we believe the best should be possible in this conflict as well you also talk about how there's hardly enough resources available to support that is faced children how is that we are on that. well donor governments such as the german government can and should provide more resources to help address the needs of 670000 people who've been displaced and that's one 3rd of the province the population of the problems there's

a tremendous need for food for shelter for schooling and even for just basic needs like female menstrual i jean and soap and toothpaste so there's a real need for funding and we believe that even with all the pressures of 19 that the world can and should do more ok now right before i let you go is that any thing positive out of all that's been happening so far. thank you well many families are escaping to safety and we have other n.g.o.s are able to provide them with services where engaged in cycle such social care because they've gone through tremendous trauma where helping build classrooms to make sure children can go back to school or providing food and other resources but also sometimes when children are fleeing the villages it's night and they get off track and they get lost and so we have many instances of children being separated from their families for days and days on end and coming to 2 towns and not knowing how to find their parents and we

have a process for finding the separated children and for reuniting them with their families and i'd like to tell you we recently helped a young boy named series you know 11 years old he was separated from the entire family but he could describe his mother and we managed to find his mother's neighbor's phone number and through that we found the mother over the 3 months of being apart we were able to get this sampling hopefully more families can be reunited sounds briggs' kinds of direct tie in with me quit save the children international thanks for your insights. thanks so much. stories making news across the continent police in tanzania have arrested at least 3 people be accused of spreading false rumors president john michael fully. the president has not been seen in public for more than 2 weeks fueling speculation about his health. so the international community

corner. cuts hard for food. and some great cultural memorials to boot. travel. i'm going. volkswagen lays out a roadmap for the coming years lower costs more profits big investments for the future investors are buying it and the idea that the german automaker might indeed be called the global leader in electric vehicles. also on the show airlines are thinking warm thoughts of the spring and summer travel season zurawik could warmer temperatures and more vaccinations begin to lift them out of their pandemic blues. oh welcome to the show i'm stephen beardsley in berlin it's good to have you with

us folks where volkswagen laid out its vision for the coming years on tuesday and investors liked what they heard shares in the german automaker rising 9 percent on the dax index in frankfurt after announcing its annual press conference plans to more than double electric vehicle deliveries and 2021 and lift profit margins to as high as 8 percent by 2025 thanks in part to an ambitious cost cutting plan the car maker also has big investment plans. it's been a tough year but volkswagen is moving ahead the group plans to manufacture its own batteries in europe alone 6 giant factories are to be built everything revolves around the e-car reboot europe's largest automaker $16.00 ellerey its electrum ability plans c.e.o. herbert diesel made clear vision while presenting the company's financial results this into life cycles the car industry will ridiculous change profit pools we shift

from conventional cause into and then redeker lee into software. to get up to speed to group ones to invest 35000000000 euros need spanton of electron filippi alone while expecting to deliver 1000000 e-commerce for the 1st time this year the charging network is being expanded so that they can also drive charging would be as easy as refueling we are raising the number of foss charging points in europe by 5 times over the next 4 years so partners like you both are all eyes and b.p. we boost european network in the us and china is building nationwide fos charging networks already in order to finance its plans b w so some jobs will have to go on like other carmakers fultz wagon has refused to set a date for the end of the combustion engine the road to full electro mentality could

be long. and as part of that road v.w. also says it's going to open 6 new battery production facilities by decades and the 1st in northern sweden is slated to open in 2023 with the company north fault which is receiving a 14000000000 euro investment injection from v.w. now earlier i spoke with north pole c.e.o. peter carlson and i asked if his young company which has yet to produce anything is on track to meet the big automakers demands i think we are you know we are we're building in an industrial station where we can tie leant across the system outside best to us and that's where we deliver the 1st so-called a and b. samples to the big auto companies this process we will scale up in the lift your by the end of this year and then continue over the next coming years in order to fill this very expensive noting demand volkswagen has says that it wants 40 gigawatt hours annually of production by 2023 tesla currently aiming for 39 gigawatts an

hour by 2022 it seems like things are moving so fast it how difficult is it to keep up with the expansion in this technology. i mean it's a it is very challenging 8 you require either requires financing it requires equipment and not the case that requires a step up being in staffing and we have now reached over 1300 employees here and we intend to double that over that next year but it is a race and starting production at this case it is not the c. it's going to be a challenging year ahead what is your biggest pinch point you said employees there's also the question of raw materials what is the biggest pinch point as you build up right now. the biggest pain point day it is going to be getting all this equipment coming in now to it to its enormous weight i'm getting it commissioned getting it starting getting the yields and the ramp up the volumes in in time

because this is not the super duction it's height that production it requires to really skilled workers so to rely and this does make a project and get it to perform this will be our our biggest challenge it also requires a lot of raw materials that are hard to get in many parts of the world the so-called rare earth metals how important is that how much of a crucial component of your production is that. whether rare earth method of c.s. is not the crucial part of our but but the new met those are the lithium and the cobalt that the nickel the manganese to also graphite the building supply chains around that. ass as volumes are dramatically increasing is. a core thing we do see that our model here where we are buying directly from the mines and shore us to make long agreements that strategic agreements we have with the right providers but also as a safeguard that we can do this in

a very sustainable way and then on the other hand what we're also bringing along is . recycling methodology so it's a bring back. old batteries grind them down and rig and recycle them so to use it in production that's also going to be key enabler here going forward to set to both secure sustainability but also to match your old material supplies peter volkswagen has made no secret the fact that it wants to dethrone tesla as the king of electric vehicles does it feel like a race on your end as well. i had to definitely feel like a race every day here at the at golf. is like a crazy horse race but it is fun to be in distress from ation and the dynamics in europe right now is set to map. we see customers changes we see the european union driving regulation and we see that car makers opening their game day

by day so it's a really really industry to be in that with them right now all right peter carlson c.e.o. and co-founder of swedish bet battery manufacturer north pole which just won a major battery order from volkswagen thank you so much thank you and let's go now to some of the other global business stories making headlines google parent alphabet said it will reduce fees for app developers from july it will charge a 15 percent fee on the 1st $1000000.00 in revenue developers earn from its app store instead of the current 30 percent commission apple made a similar move last year amid a backlash from developers. norway britain and the european union have reached a deal on fishing quotas and in the north sea the accord limits the amount of fish like cod and herring each country is allowed to catch it's the 1st such deal since the u.k. officially left the e.u. in december. well vaccine rates are growing temperatures are warming at least in the western

hemisphere and airlines are looking to get back into business and the industry believes health passes will smooth the way british airways aims to launch a digital vaccine passport by may and virgin atlantic is betting on its own app. it's a far cry from the golden age of a r travel but virgin atlantic says it coronavirus crew test center is critical to get the world flying again here at heathrow airport pilots and cabin crew use them all by a law to track their test results the airlines want passion just to follow this spring and this summer to get going health passes will be absolutely essential like most in the industry virgin has been battered it's no operating at less than 20 percent of. capacity but there are some signs of a recovery in the us market the makers of the digital identity app your

t c it will help to maintain trust in testing and speed up travel in the pandemic age paper tickets aren't going to do that they don't allow airlines and other organizations within the ecosystem to allow things like online check in or self-service ports because you have to present those physical documents in your eyes. it's part of an industry wide push to introduce travel passes meaning anyone without a vaccine passport or a recent negative test may find themselves locked out of the sky. let's go now to our financial correspondent in new york ian's korda good to see you that piece mentioned optimism in the u.s. about a recovery for airlines what is it that has the airlines optimistic there. yeah actually it really does seem that the worst might be behind the lines here in the

united states the head of the delta for example said to have been some fold fold already last year but this time it feels real over the weekend we actually had the most passengers here at u.s. airports and since the beginning of the pandemic it was still about 40 percent away from where we had the presenters before the pandemic started but overall there is definitely quite some optimism specially vista vaccinations seoul that the airlines so called and burning cash and actually even might make a profit in a couple of weeks from here on. just an incredible year for these airlines burning cash as you mentioned what kind of shape are they in even when there is a recovery it's extreme i mean still in the 1st 3 months off is this year we do see that the big american airlines are burning about

$150000000.00 cash each day and in 2028 of the 6th largest american. airlines last go to $35000000000.00 we've never seen anything like that before what does or what what's helping the airlines is actually hold us government money all those aid packages that we've seen tens of billions of dollars and then also some lines like american airlines for example they're offering their own bond so to also get some extra cash i mean i've seen it in 2001 big then it actually took a one or 2 years until we actually saw some bankruptcies and forced a merger so let's see if this time around that can be avoided was all the money from washington well let's say from taxpayers. thank you. and finally a theme park in china has opened what it's calling the world's 1st polar bear hotel . it has $21.00 rooms that offer around the clock views of you guessed it polar

bears the spokeswoman said it's already fully booked at rates that can reach a whopping $350.00 u.s. dollars a night conservationists have been quick to criticize the business saying polar bears belong in the wild not in the hotels. that's it for me and a business team thanks for watching. how does a virus spread. why do we panic and when we'll all miss. just 3 of the topics covered and weekly radio. if you would like me more information on the coronavirus or any other science topic you should really check out our podcast you can get it wherever you get your podcast you can also find us at dot com for inside science.

titles like the remains of the day and never let me go now and his 1st novel since the award is a group takes a new turn his novel klara and the son takes us into the life of an ai machine built to provide selfless friendship to humans. clara is the perfect companion always friendly and helpful and she's always there when you need. clara his so has no need to tone because clara is an. artificial friend an android . clone is the narrator in consumer and she can lose latest novel clara and the son he's 8 she is fascinated by the idea of artificial intelligence he tells us what makes he's literally a heroine teac klara is somebody who comes into the world it's almost empty at the beginning and just learns at a huge rate and one of the advantages i want to just of for me what was exciting

about cora was that she could at the same time. i become very sophisticated about some things about the human world and be very childlike about other things this could co-exist in the same person very easily to protect innocent ishiguro as best know novel the remains of the day is stephen's an english butler who realizes tonight that he's been serving the wrong master aristocrat tonight himself but the nazis the film adaptation of the booker prize winning novel was also a huge success both stevens and the artificial friend clara us aboard needs to the systems in which they live why don't you she goes he writes ever rebel. the truth of it is that is that we are very good at rebelling. what we are what we often tend to do and and there is a kind of a heroism about this too is that we try and find some. some

way. of retaining our dignity. on our sense of ourselves water accepting that we are powerless and that we have to just get on with it you know and it's tragic and you know i don't necessarily say that's a good way to be but that's what i often observe human life to be like in 2017 she could do was awarded the nobel prize in literature he can be described as a writer of great integrity he tackles complex in engineering scenes of memory time and self-delusion. as well as his novels and plays she also a passionate songwriter writing lyrics he just stands he can't. be a nobel prize with it but i mean you could be a poem i can tell you what it's about i mean often the title is my main clue that i realize it's about a funeral or something otherwise i mean i just don't understand it whereas some lyrics i have felt that's something i've always felt to share which for me the

dreamlike images are being packed up for transport to shanghai once there they'll be put on display in the private long museum. as long as there was the long museum is one of those museums where the progressive discourse of contemporary asian art is taking place that's why it's important and the long family who are initiating the whole thing are very important collectors in asia. and they're very open and view this for many different perspectives. on the. under normal circumstances eunice borger would have checked out the exhibition space himself but did a cover travel restrictions this time he has to rely on a model. nearly 20 of his pictures will be shown in shanghai their placement demands great attention to detail some of his artworks are currently being shown in

a different museum in china is unusual style is making waves in the chinese art world cup it's got a on the i currently have an exhibition running in beijing want the gallery there have told me that visitors are fascinated but also confused because they don't recognize this type of visual language and that's fascinating for me of course figuring out how to communicate on a level that's not verbal but visual that's what really intrigues me and the reason i started in the 1st place it's a hope in the long arm of the us the more. you know us borgata created this painting especially for the exhibition in shanghai which marks the peak of his career so far. when he started out book it's figurative painting stood in stark contrast to the dominant trend of abstract art. but he persevered and managed to break through with his art. he's successful on an international

scale especially in china. there his monumental and fantastical works of art are being welcomed with great acclaim. with large scales or great good. oddities masses and excessiveness in terms of structure are things chinese people are familiar with there are 1200000000 people living in that country each with their own unique psychology. and if you look behind every window there is its own little world and an inner world and in any case i think that's maybe one of the reasons as this year in fights for life this is. the exhibition is set to open in shanghai on july 23rd book at has a lot of time left before that for his paintings found for relaxing moments. murmur a ship is the word for when flocks of birds twist turn and swirl in mid-air
