thing keeping. me. going to hear your own the public schools are 1000000 tons of plastic waste. is the other way. then after all the informant is interests like little. league make up your own mind. w. made for mines. please. please. everyone welcome to focus on europe it is nice to have you here with me we're starting today in the southern part of italy which is known for its beaches its food its beautiful architecture and unfortunately for its mafia for example

naples at mount vesuvius with its historic buildings and alleyways is dominated by a powerful mafia clan called the camorra once it gets dark these criminal gangs keep the police busy as they do their bosses bidding for the young or the unemployed in naples the idea of making some quick cash by doing the mafia's dirty work can prove to be irresistible but the decision to join can prove to be a fatal one as it was for a young man named to go russo now though a controversial mural of to go is causing a stir in naples with some seeing it as a mockery of the victims. a moped stops in front of a convenience store a robber wearing a helmet and a face mask enters and threatens the cashier with a gun to extort a watch for money. many young criminals think it is simple and easy. but then a plainclothes policeman or a carbon yera witnesses the robbery and it ends with deadly consequences.

15 year old google raso died when a military policeman opened fire on him in the middle of the night in the elegant part of naples. on your soul so my son was murdered he was shot twice in the chest and once in the back of his head you do all these. google with toast father and his youngest son stand in front of a huge mural that dominates a small square in the spanish quarter. it is an image of will go staring at his family and neighbors demanding truth and justice. the fact that google committed an armed robbery is not spoken of here. many approve of his mural and complain about police violence and slow investigations they claim that the legal proceedings against the military policeman never really started. there for the russo family is

receiving more and more support also from those who demand clarification as well as more solidarity between the rich and the poor in naples. the prevailing mentality in the city is to each his due there is no social solidarity for the rich remain rich or you look for a roommate or. a youth who commits a crime should be shot it's his own fault who should know. who is father who has been known to the police since adolescence also believes this to be true normally. nobody in the city genuinely wants to know why such robberies are. her why these young people do such things we still they just want to destroy us to trample us like vermin which. we visit another neighborhood with another mural this one commemorates 17 year old luigi chaos with candles in an altar. last october he too was shot dead by a policeman in civilian clothes whilst committing

a robbery. meanwhile the merrill has been removed by the police criminal should not be glorified the reaction in the neighborhood is aggressive people are angry at the state and their young criminals portrayed as saints religious worship within the come or at naples mafia is well known to priest luigi maryla he has been fighting against it for 20 years. you know such are murdering up a picture of someone who committed a robbery. or is the boss of a klan goals you know if you're out and worshipping like a saint it sends a very bad message. has it that bad would become a good start by german. no that's not true all you mothers out are certain very moderate. the priest works against these illegal demonstrations of power and has also been threatened. however behind high walls he continues to do use work

now during the pandemic he helps youths with homework on line and in normal times with recreational activities. families hit particularly hard by the pandemic receiving aid to stop the next generation from getting further involved in criminal activity. when you quit theory i was never a neighborhood has its clan boss but most of these bosses are now in prison you're not. many young people take advantage of this they form gangs that fight each other not really this increases violence because the actual boss has lost. control and can no longer maintain order in the neighborhood like before a problem it could all be you know. close in addition the characters of popular mafia series become real role models for many young people. experts say this increases rivalry and the readiness for violence in the streets.

that up to this violence is justified so to speak as the state doesn't intervene. because you may get there is a lack of perspective from police or prosecutors which makes the criminals feel they can get away with anything. without being arrested prosecuted or held responsible for the. overall policy. but perhaps times are changing because more and more people in naples are calling for the image of google russo to be removed the 15 year old small time crook is no saint no god like the god of soccer a few streets away. only diego armando marra donna the deceased idol who once played for s.s.e. naples unite the city and may be worshipped like a saint by good and evil alike. wouldn't

it be nice if you could just flee the coven 1000 pandemic and head off to a secluded island well martin mickos and his wife sandy they actually did that they traded san francisco's hustle and bustle for a small part of an archipelago off the coast of finland in the baltic sea they're now surrounded by trees wild animals and extremely icy waters and they're sharing their pandemic paradise on social media with millions of people around the world. on the edge of the frozen baltic sea lies a small finnish island it is now home to 2 people who are living beyond the reach of the coronavirus. husband and wife saniel lawson and morton me coast love the icy landscape. they spend several hours

a day out on the frozen sea. and here just for the fun of it i have the big ice floes to see how they react now when it's getting sunny and warm and how they will e-mail melt and how they may move around. throughout the winter saniel os and with her drone has shot videos of her husband's activities shoveling snow off the footpads and searching for open channels. the tweets from there can demick paradise as they call it in their short videos have gone viral. i just wanted to make people happy because everyone is so sad and miserable because of the pandemic rowing boat than eyes are very mundane in a way but it just shows you that when you are in innovative and new just take whatever you haven't tried make the best of it. the house in the woods was finished

just before the outbreak of the cove in 1000 pandemic. the couple eat mostly fish they catch themselves boar locally sourced game morton macos usually runs a technology company in silicon valley california but for months now he's only communicated with his employees over the internet from the wilds of finland it's a totally new workday rhythm for him and not just because of the time difference so in the middle of the my i me go out to just and watch the sky or the fresh air so of course it gives me a good contrast. his wife zenyatta is also hard at work she's a journalist she doesn't miss life in a large american city anymore either she was surprised by the worldwide responses to her twitter account especially the fascination with her husband's efforts to clear away ice flows with his rowboat but the russian media developed an entirely

different story from the images they turned it into a couple that a cruise ship stranded on an island. they had to get out and the guy you were in save them. but in reality the couple's life is far less sensational as long as the ice holds up they can walk across to their car on the mainland and go shopping in the summer they take their boat they even receive occasional visitors most recently at christmas inside this this is a. dry in place where they dry hay so we came in here christmas day in the morning with us pitch black we had candles with small natural light so we went in there and then we sang a few christmas songs which the merry christmas. lawson

and make us are well aware that their privileged few people can afford to escape the pandemic like they have but the experiences of the past months have shown that people can rediscover themselves during lockdown. you can build your resilience on your own even though we are social creatures we all are also equipped to be on our own that's how evolution has worked so we can be on our own we can be isolated there's always in the world there's things that you have to respect and fear out here we have to respect and fear the thin ice so we don't know when we go there with or whether we fall in. that fear too can be overcome as because proves at a hole he saw in the ice you just have to be properly equipped in this case with ice picks in an emergency he can use them to rescue himself. exists and then you go. back to safe the ice and get yourself

warm and dry the frozen pandemic paradise has many more adventures in store for these 2 selves isolators the ice along finland's west coast will soon be gone but sadly it seems the coronavirus pandemic might continue for some time yet. well we are going to stay in the water for just a moment as we head now to britain where fishermen are struggling for their livelihoods as a result of bragg's britain's withdrawal from the european union and all of the rule changes that have come with that have meant that exports to the e.u. have plummeted now in the land that's known for its fish and chips huge stockpiles of shellfish are starting to cause a stink. even the seagulls in with stubble southern england seem to sense that something's amiss. james green fishes for oysters

this but normally be his busy season but there's very little for him to do besides check up on his. these boys would normally be destined for the european market but he hasn't sold a single one since january 1st these bags if you go all of this area of the farm is now market size or says we've had to double the bags up here to make space for them so this is where there is probably 100120 tons of market size horses ready for the continental market really i'm not entirely sure what to do with them but i want you know. where can i sell 120 tons of voices in the u.k. that just is not the market. the business is dying. this isn't just a temporary problem. for hygiene reasons the european union prohibits the import of life spiny oysters from all dealers in nonie you countries which the u.k.

now is. an exception is made for shellfish from very clean waters but this area is category. whitstable is largely dependent on sales of shellfish oysters mussels and lobsters before breakfast at the cleaning process was taking care of in mainland europe. one solution would be to clean the shellfish here before exporting them. graham west is already doing that but only for the domestic british market. for you to do or if we come to this you have to practice we moved 3 things you said sunday june and august so that if your . plane come into the new bridge you will be doing it but it will be so there will be always things where they just would encourage you to michael again in the

presumption. once cleaned they could be shipped to the e.u. but the cleaning facility is much too small to handle the hundreds of tons in the e.u. clients don't want pretreated oysters graham west also has well since gun jelly they have to be boiled before they're exported to asia he can't do that himself so he's always sold them on to distributors but they're also located in the e.u. . he's got all. among the or she quit the store because 04 is happening with bricks we can't see what he did laurie. just getting worse and worse to be stuck on the key will be stuck in a container but it's always getting through he looking as if this means that he can neither sell to the e.u. nor asia. with simple has been hard hit. right now few people in britain are eating oysters or lobster either. the pandemic has closed the restaurants including

james greens at least that will eventually come to an end says james but the use import ban has eliminated half of his trade virtually overnight permanently and that was a blow he did not see coming that wasn't foreseeable from our point of view and the reason why it wasn't foreseeable from our point of to her were constantly reassuring the industry back trade would continue after breakfast. but the government in london places the blame for the disaster on the e.u. not itself. but the e.u. had said originally that trade could continue their own laws provide for it to continue and actually refer to a significant it would enable it to continue though they have had a change of policy change and although there is no legal impediment to this straight the european union told us a couple of weeks ago they were going to allow it to continue. the e.u.

maintains that this is simply untrue. let's be clear derby glacier and burning import of these shellfish into the european union was already on the table for. which he's to blame east bricks. james screens oyster tanks are empty he's using the time to renovate them james by the way voted for access. now he sees that as a mistake the government's rhetoric blaming the e.u. for all the u.k.'s ills no longer flies with him people say oh it's the being difficult i don't want i don't think that's the reason not to tear it down step for us on a new negotiations over the last 3 years that we're going to degree a lot of proportion of incompetence or not. so the shellfish industry is among the big losers of brecht's it. and the impact is being felt acutely here in with bill.

here in europe we are now at the beginning of these 3rd wave of the coronavirus pandemic one of the new variants of the virus the one 1st discovered in britain is more contagious it's more dangerous and it's spreading fast now even if the e.u. had enough vaccines at the moment which it doesn't surveys have shown that europe is the most vaccine skeptic region in the world one person belgium though is working to combat those conspiracy theories and to change perceptions of the cove in 1000 vaccines her name is christina rodriguez and in a country where some nursing homes have seen just 30 percent of its staff choose to get vaccinated she's rolling up her sleeves to fight that battle herself. geriatric nurse christina rodriguez wants to encourage others she asks

a colleague to take photos of the message look at me i'm getting backs unaided. says rarely i really hope that i can get other care workers to get vaccinated and my own family and the entire country to act. like christina care workers across belgium are trying to convince back scene skeptics to get themselves backs unaided in the french speaking part of the country many belgians still vehemently refused to do so nurse obama as one of them. wanted to do when it comes to medicine you always have to assess the risks if you can in this case there just hasn't been enough time or not but look you know we've only known this virus for a year now and we hardly know these genetically modified vaccines either if we are manipulating genetic material we need answers to all the unresolved questions before we can speak of trust fuels. on line. calls on people to

boycott facemasks lockdown measures and above all mass vaccinations and many agree with her more than 50 percent of care workers and privately run nursing homes in the french speaking part of belgium in brussels have refused to be vaccinated or the director of this nursing home is one of them. we will only know what side effects the vaccine can have in 20 years time it's sort of like buying a new car you feel like it's a few but you would rather wait to see a chrestus 1st. test vessel for the week of the belgian association of private nursing homes is perplexed by this with online campaigns and training courses largely unsuccessful they're considering making back to the nation's mandatory high did not understand i do not understand the. it was so awful that. there's so a lot of rate of elderly people who died there's so the

loss of life and it's unbelievable odo's people do not understand that they can protect themselves it's a big question. but experts say that is also part of the answer traumatic experiences and low wages despite being overworked could have time to care workers into vaccine skeptics. such a situation of distress that when when when when they hear stories about the down is actually used less it's just due to to force you to to get vaccinated than and and which does beat from a critique on a company's i would totally understand why someone would want to believe such a thing and they want to make sense of it and and conspiracy theories are help you make sense of society of what happens to you. on social media these theories are spreading like wildfire some where the vaccine is being used to spy on them others

say it leads to infertility or even death many of these rumors come from neighboring france where there are many vaccine skeptics in order to get them to change their mind the european union is testing the back scenes thoroughly to gain people's trust there was no emergency authorization but movie obama is not convinced to back in fact some of us have work or we're not even told which vaccine we will be getting exposed you know that's what it's our right to know but humans need to consent to being experimented on we need to be able to sign something that says yes i want to be vaccinated with this vaccine with this technology. move the nursing homes doctor on the other hand argues that the vaccine has been sufficiently tested and that time is of the essence during a pandemic. there's always an open door for the pirates and then it will quickly spread again this could go on for years which is why we need to go

a collective effort we need to this vaccination should be mandatory for everyone if people who wear read this they need to understand the risks posed by the vaccine or in no way comparable to the risks of an infection. christina regus agrees she's experienced many tough days in the nursing home today each report that more people are signing up to be vaccinated makes or hopeful for the future but she's convinced that the fight against the virus must be won on line too. and to a man now who is battling the pandemic in a very different way as christopher cross is that the fight against the coronavirus is also a fight against monotony and loneliness ever since the 1st lockdown began here in germany about a year ago he's been doing his best in all kinds of weather to make people's lives just a little bit more positive and at the retirement home in the small town of flint and bag if you can pronounce that one he is very eagerly awaited.

every evening everyone you can at this nursing home shows up at their windows or the door to listen to this stuff because i was a plain serenades exactly at 7 pm the 80 year old man starts to play his baritone horn. one car. uniform and that's great he is 80 years old and yet he still does this you know. the residents know the 80 year old. he's been volunteering here for years. these regular visits during the pandemic are very dear to him. by the huge melaka db of we now as i notice that the residents miss affection and want to talk i used to come by every

day before the pandemic. not offend so i wanted to create a new connection with the people here but get some wonderful feeling when people light up when they see me. because this would not be. bad weather does not deter customer. he just needs to make sure that the rain does not trickle into his horn. when it rains and i must blow like this. and actually i there's never been a good reason not to come one could give to come at the end of his performance these 5 loyal residents await him. and villein august from it watches from the window is i'm fats lovely to have something to look forward to in the evening and has been and if we don't hear him we become very impatient. because i have been playing here since march 29th 2020 and hopes to continue once the coronavirus

pandemic is over. and hopefully not too long now until those nursing home residents can finally give him a hug that was focused on europe for this week thank you to everyone out there for watching take care and until next time good bye. little. her little.

thank. you all we can be the generation that ends it for good malaria must

start so millions can live. this is it reduces live from berlin the moment of truth arrives europe's top drug regulator will announce whether astra zeneca corona virus vaccine is safe to use a field well outcome could kick start the e.u. troubled inoculation rollout. thank you so much for your company everyone while the european medicines agency is

getting ready to deliver its verdict on whether astra zeneca us coronavirus vaccine is safe on more than a dozen european countries have paused in occupations with the vaccine after some cases of blood clots earlier this week the a.m.a. says there was no indication the vaccine cost the clotting but announced it would review the matter germany france and italy say they will follow the agency's guidance. all eyes are on amsterdam where the e m a is headquartered and we expect the press conference to get underway momentarily in the meantime like to turn to deliver your correspondent parent record who is tracking that story for your bearings as we're waiting to hear from the e m a what do we expect to hear from them. the security committee of the yemeni deliberated hold the day today and also over the we have a couple of meetings and the most likely outcome is that the european medicine

agency will say there is no evidence that these trumbo and balak events i think all of very caused by the us are seneca vaccine and therefore they will recommend that the vaccination should restart in these 15 countries that suspended the vaccination in europe and there are also some other countries in the road that suspended that but the giants i'm very sorry to interrupt you the press conference is underway let's take a listen to what the yami has decided this is in a cloak the executive director of a doctors have been his throws the chair of safety committee the family vigilance risk assessment committee proc and i'm also very pleased to introduce to you dr peter islet the head of analytics at u.m.a. who can provide additional information about the agency's scientific procedures if needed before we start i want to explain how we plan to run this press briefing

gentlemen and thank you for joining this precious phrase breaking our expert committee on the safety of medicines the pharmacovigilance and risk assessment committee has now come to a conclusion on the review of cases of blood clots in people vaccinated with astra zeneca scope at $900.00 vaccines the committee has come to a clear scientific conclusion this is a safe and effective vaccine its benefits in protecting people from cope with 19 with the associated risks of death and hospitalized patients outweigh the possible risks the committee also concluded that the vaccine is not associated with an increase in the overall risk of throw a ball or prevent our blood clots now during the investigation and review we began to see a small number of cases of rare and unusual but very serious crossing disorders and

this then triggered a more focused review. based on the evidence available and after days of in-depth analysis of lab results clinical reports autopsy reports and present information from the clinical trials we still cannot rule out definitively a link between these cases and the vaccine. what the committee has therefore recommended is to raise awareness of these possible risks making sure that they are included in the product information drawing attention to these possible rare conditions and providing information to health care professionals and vaccinated people will help to spot and mitigate any possible side effects we're also launching additional investigations to understand more about these rare cases and we're contacting targeted observational studies overseas about

7000000 people have now been vaccinated in the with the astra zeneca vaccine and 11000000 have been vaccination in the u.k. in the u.k. and there i think creasing use of this vaccine and other countries. it remains very important that all side effects are closely monitored and reported so that we can evaluate them and see if there is any need to update the information and warnings of pipe possible rate risks dr strides will explain the committee's evaluation more detail but i want to reiterate that our scientific position is that is that this vaccine is a safe and effective option to protect citizens against kopek 19 it demonstrated that at least 60 percent efficacy in clinical trials in preventing coronaviruses disease and in fact the real world evidence suggests that the effectiveness could be even higher than that. we're very much aware that some member states of

vaccination and we've just been there listening there to the head of the e m a the european medicines agency a m.r. cook and she has come up with this a statement said that the committee has reached the conclusion that astra zeneca shot. is safe for use and recommends that its use be used again and that it is a scientific conclusion that they've reached want to get back here to get his analysis aberrant so d.n.a. has spoken the decision has been reached is this the final word because she did add a coffee didn't she. as expected this is a green light to use as seneca again to give the japs to the people who are waiting for it the scrutiny will continue and also the monitoring of any side effects that that might come up this is what the head of the european medical agency said so

the scrutiny will go on but this is not unusual in a vaccination rollout that there are side effects and that they will be monitored and reminded the audience also that there were 17000000 shots of ready administered from the 6 you know only a couple of side effects so far you know reported about this is not unusual she says unsafe continue the vaccination so can everybody now rest assured of when it comes to the astra zeneca shot. well they the european medical agency says as the world health organization said it although the u.k. regulator said today that this vaccine is safe and of course not expert so i would i would trust that and i respect that also he has authorities and the member states that suspended the vaccination bill now declare in with a couple of hours that the vaccination efforts will go on there's

a press conference call you're already by the german minister wants to suspend it this so i'm i'm pretty sure that the rollout to continue what do we need to take away from this incident. but of course everybody is nervous and everybody is eager to get the vaccine to get the vaccine and there has been trouble visitors and it comes before. the vaccine was 1st approved in generally the european medical agency said everybody can have it but there was sudden member state it says no only people under 65 can have it this verdict and was also revised in the last days so that has a little bit about rumors about as as any maybe the trust in this vaccine is now a little bit on the mind but us have also to keep in mind that only 15 percent of all the scenes applied in the rippin union actually. the rest is from other drug

makers but as you know barron's and as many experts have said also in the lead up but today's decision is that it does not take much for people to lose confidence in that seems at the moment so did countries like germany avoid a small risk but incur a very big one now. but even in hindsight you can say that the decision to suspend the vaccination was maybe wrong because you can also monitor side effect. if the vaccination goes on this is what normally. is the procedure you you monitor and then you decide if the side effects are too bad or not and you don't suspend before you have the evidence in this case maybe everybody's nervous and nobody wants to do something wrong but this can also fire back and undermine the trust in the next innovation of course thank you so very much that baron to regard

their monitoring from brussels and just to reiterate to the european medicines agency says astra zeneca is a safe and efficient vaccine not associated with increased risk of blood clots for now thank you. a sick look now at some of the other developments in the penn demick a study in the lancet medical journal shows that most people who recover from covert 1000 are protected for at least 6 months france has reported its biggest one day jump in cases since its 2nd lockdown in november tighter restrictions are expected and japan will not extend a state of emergency in tokyo in the tokyo area rather be on sunday but officials are warning against complacency. and some parts of europe are already experiencing a 3rd wave of infections germany has recorded its biggest rise of daily coronavirus cases in 2 months more than 17000 new infections have been confirmed in the last 24 hour period while the rise comes after an easing of restrictions in recent weeks

and the spread of a more transmissible variant experts say germany is now in a 3rd wave of the pandemic and are warning a significant jump in cases is likely in the weeks to come. as catch up now on some of the other stories making news around the world. a gunman accused of killing 8 people in the u.s. state of georgia has been charged with murder the 21 year old was arrested after a shooting spree at 3 massage parlors in the atlanta area most of the victims were women of asian descent. and protesters are keeping up their resistance against the military regime in myanmar has by the deadly crackdown the army has sealed off parts of young god city and imposed on him from nation blackout and a local civil rights group says security forces have killed more than 200 people since last month's coup. several allies of jailed russian opposition figure alexina

vali have gone on trial in moscow along them 2 members of the band pussy riot a number of all the supporters were detained in january over anti kremlin protests local media reports say some house arrest have been extended by 3 months. joe biden is facing the 1st major diplomatic crisis of his presidency moscow has recalled its ambassador to the u.s. after mr biden confirmed on television that he thinks the russian leader is a killer the president also promised to hold of lattimer putin accountable for allegedly meddling in last year's u.s. election. director of national to this was the interview that galvanized 2 huge nations the u.s. and russia when in an exclusive interview with a.b.c. news george stephanopoulos asked president joe biden election so you know vladimir putin you think he's a killer. to do so what price must he pay oppressions going to pay will you have

seen shortly the interview comes as the united states is thought to be preparing new sanctions against russia for its meddling in the election at an earlier meeting biden made a point of a mark to putin you said no he doesn't have a soul i did say that to him yes and to and his response was we understand one another i wouldn't be a wise guy i was along with him in his office that's how it came about it was when president bush had said i've looked at his eyes and saw a soul i said look through our eyes and i don't think you have a soul look back we said we understand each other it's unclear what kind of a response moscow will have but no doubt u.s. russia relations have seldom been this low. force now and in the champions league the top club tournaments in europe defending champs of buying munich are through to the quarter finals of this season's event thanks to a 2 legged victory over italian team last year 0 of 11 ascii scored 1st and by and went on to win 21 wednesday night and 62 over the 2 matches they were in london

chelsea advanced as well by defeating atletico madrid 2 nil and 3 nil on aggregate . you're watching d.v.d.'s from our land of business news up next with my colleague steve and apparently we'll have the world headlines for you at the top of the hour see that's. what people have to say curse to us. trying to censor the stories reporter every weekend on t w. more than half the world will be living 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. the world is changing to the most important commodity soon to be free fair mortgages for necessity or commodity starts march 22nd on d. w. . a good news for the global coronavirus vaccination campaign a new survey finding many low and middle income countries are making progress in securing and distributing the new jobs but there's work to be done especially in educating the public. also on the show copper is critical to the zambian economy now the african country has nationalized one of its key mines. and answer them stock exchange takes a bite out of london's business after brags that the euro next now has its sights

set for other rivals. who are welcome to the show i'm seeing visit in berlin we'll get to those stories shortly but we begin in brussels where european medical regulators have just announced their. new backing for astra zeneca coronavirus vaccine european medicines agency director m.r. cook called the safe and effective vaccine yes was that a vaccine has come under scrutiny after some patients received it later suffered blood clots prompting european governments to suspend its use the e m a said thursday there was no evidence linking the vaccine to a higher risk of clots. or countries across the globe are racing to get their hands on those drone of vaccines including astra zeneca but a new study by the world bank suggests few are creating public campaigns around vaccination the study released thursday shows that while 85 percent of nations surveyed have focused on delivery chains for the job just over a quarter have created strategies to encourage vaccination in the public less than

a 3rd of countries meanwhile have created training programs for the large number of vaccinators needed the world bank surveyed more than 100 countries. joined now by moms of more to she's vice president for human development at the world bank want to thank you for coming on the show 1st let's acknowledge this is a health campaign of a size that we've never seen before vaccinating the world essentially is it fair to say that countries have come a long way. thanks for having me on the show yes i think it's right to say countries that come along wait most of them have planned their vaccination campaigns i'm talking about the low and middle income countries that the world bank focuses on and most of them have developed some sort of safety survey and so so there's a means of monitoring what happens after a blessing is vaccinated i just heard at the top of your show the discussion around astra zeneca and that explains why it's good to have a safety monitoring system but what we've discovered that developing countries

still need to do is that they still need to plan to train vaccinated and also they need to engage the public to address issues around hesitancy. is that a problem in many of these countries are we seeing signs already that there is a large amount of vaccine has unsee. i would say that vaccinating adults is different can vaccinate in children most developing countries are used to vaccinating children because because children are routinely vaccinated but that's a small portion of the population once you come to a massive vaccination campaign and you have to vaccinate adults you do have to think about engaging them they have to feed are confident about the vaccine they have to trust the government agency that if you think about a lot of conflict in the affected context and there are some of those in developing countries if someone comes along and offers us a shot and they're from the government you wouldn't you wouldn't automatically take

to it so so the things that have to be done to build trust and belief so that they can be a mosque vaccination campaign and that it will take time and that's why we've highlighted this as one of the areas that governments need to work on one thing i also found that there were opportunities here in terms of digitizing vaccination records as well as developing some of these logistics chains is that right. that's right so i'm dizzy huge opportunity actually to think about the cold chain and that will need to be put into place so that vaccines once the arrive from the airport can be transported at a refrigerated temperature to the point where people who lead vaccinated and and and governments can think of how to build these cool chains in a environmentally friendly right then lots of new kinds of refrigerants that out of a double nowadays one can have. actually operated to figure reaches so this is really an opportunity to this also an opportunity to to use digital systems to

track and monitor vaccines but also digital systems to record who comes to getting vaccines when they do to get the next vaccine and so on so this vaccination campaign although it's it it sounds like a one time thing is a great opportunity to actually build systems that can help countries in the future or i miss the playoffs to miss the news month or more to vice president for human development at the world bank thanks so much for joining us thanks for having me write each one of these a smartphone contains about 7 grams of this copper it's a highly conductive metal making it essential for circuit boards and most electronic devices one country that possesses vast coffers serves and also export it exports it is them via the last year the african countries mines produce 882000 metric tons of the metal but with the outbreak of the crown of ours pandemic demand

for copper joined up to about half that is a disaster for thousands of miners and for the government in lusaka after all is obvious state finances and currency reserves are largely built around copper exports and the government rather is expanding its influence on the mining industry it's just nationalized one of the country's key mines purchasing it from frustrated mining company glencore. and smallness i'm joined by chip punishing bello with d.w. business so ship on it's funny good to see you. what exactly does a zombie government hope to achieve by purchasing this mine. well obviously like you did mention there that i'm going to government doesn't have much cash as fact it's a full of them became the 1st country to the fold and it's over. the last year. from the your own old to mostly western investors. the zambian government what is

it aimed to purchase what do they get out of the purchase well essentially there's an election coming up in august. the mining operations which were owned by glenn or that's what. they employ around $15000.00 people on the copper belt which is a couple rich profit. by purchasing the mines what the government is basically doing is at least until those elections take place. essentially safeguarding the job because what glengall have been doing and i'm due to mention a situation. they have been trying to lessen their mine will ration because i'm a prize that had been down in recent years and so that would have been you know something that would have put at risk several job now the government and kind of they've got the job all right so you're part of this maybe focuses more on jobs anything else especially as elections approach but you mentioned the country defaulted so how did it afford to make of purchase. that is

a better the question of course relieved by boring more of them though it hasn't voted over and over and of course a government can always borrow more it would just find ways of getting past the other thing that i could mention to the boys the government will be trying to make sure that it has the control on whether it can increase the production or not the production is what generates most foreign exchange in zambia account for about . 20 exchange dollar dollars basically the copper is sold in dollars and the government owning more of a mining operation can actually at least aside when they want to run the production like we simply up i can pay a high and not seen in the last 10 years or so and so that is one thing that it's doing as well so it's trying to find ways to raise cash but as you mentioned it is passed up and basically it is borrowing on what it's expect to earn in the future

by buying gold mines that the gun ship on a very briefly can zambia fix its economy. not from the way things look around now the only focus of the i.m.f. about a possible bailout. the 2nd round of talks and it is early this month that we have to see how they'll talk the i.m.f. will as well doesn't look very likely all right you punish and payload you double business good to see you. go back to europe frankfurt is again among the world's top 10 financial hubs thanks to bragg's if the ranking of the global financial centers and x. frankfurt is in 9th place ahead observer a comparison luxembourg another break when or at least in the financial sector is amsterdam barber whistle reports. amsterdam's new business district so does this looming enough to fit

a company started relocating from the u.k. last year trade is now following in their wake. fortunately the united kingdom has left the european union and therefore is not able to to to continue business on the same way out of the european market as they were before and now amsterdam is taking over the parts that are specifically related to 2 trading this is the oldest stucky change in the world and strew a number of mergers over the last years pretty amsterdam 2600000000. this picture changed dramatically in generally 21 amsterdam saw a steep rise with a 4 fold increase in trade dealing more than 9000000000 shares but has this huge amount of trade come from london to state that all depends on equivalence being

granted at the moments i think that john's is not as i understand it also from regulators that. very big that that will happen. so yeah in the meantime i think of course we should as an adult and stay competitive also in our regulatory climate dutch traders fear the introduction of the financial transaction tax and other european regulation and of course the market here might become more fragmented i think we have of quite a good starting position barrister's more focus on our own banks. i think frankfurt also has a good good starting position but let's let's see how that develops but can amsterdam really topple london as the leading financial market amsterdam is good at in specific knishes and so for example high frequency trading payment systems i thought of course it's

a much smaller and i think world as well really important for the financial industry it's a concentration of human capital mind you if bracks it has really a bad effect on the u.k. u.k. economy and that will of course you know that will be a metaphor of yes then you might well see shift or financial industry also amorphous financial industry too was the continent is still at the moment the mood and amsterdam's financial markets is altogether rather bullish. and finally from targeting shares of humble video game store game stop to monkey business the wall street bets red a community is turning its attention to endangered mountain gorillas began when one user posted a donation to a charity protecting the apes in 6 days more than $3500.00 drillers have been adopted by fellow users refer to themselves as apes the dian fossey charity thanked the group for the more than $350000.00 they've received praising the gorilla
