office the u.s. should easily surpass this and it fits the biden under promise over deliver approach or will that work in foreign policy china is as unbending as ever u.s. troops are still mired in afghanistan and what about america's gun violence and the thousands of migrant children at the southern border biden never asked for a honeymoon at the start he's not getting one either i'm bored golf in berlin this is the day. that's right 200000000 shots in 100 days. is here and hope is on the way. make no apologies for any programs and did not exist before trump became president we have to have democracy we're going to give

no american president ever backed down from speaking you know what's happened to the we. was happy in hong kong. that's who we are. the president walks away from it as the last one did. was the moment we began to lose on the general scene around the world. also coming up here in europe the corona virus has new advantages it has mutated and is spreading more easily at the same time the pace of vaccinations is terribly slow all of these factors are colliding inside hospitals physically it's hard mentally it's hard it's a marathon the end is nigh it incites but we must persevere we are in a war. and to our viewers on p.b.s. in the unite. it states and to all of you around the world welcome we begin the day with the question much of the world has for us president joe biden what are you

going to do about this biden has been in office 2 months today he held his 1st press conference this was the 1st time the president took questions on everything and anything and it was the 1st time that we were able to observe him answering unscripted and unfiltered just a week ago the white house was planning to use today to focus on impressive vaccination rollouts across the u.s. but the world not the president sets the agenda most of the questions posed to biden were about the situation at the border with mexico the thousands of unaccompanied children in need of shelter which biden refuses to call a crisis take a listen it happens every single solitary year there is a significant increase in number of people coming to the border in the winter months of january february march and it happens every year in addition to that there is any and nobody and by the way does anybody suggest that there was

a 31 percent increase under trump because he was a nice guy and he was doing good things at the border that's not the reason they're coming. well the crises far beyond america's borders were also on the agenda today the 1st foreign policy question focused on afghanistan time is running out for washington to decide whether or not u.s. troops in the country will come home an agreement between the u.s. and the taliban reached last year sets a decision deadline of may 1st of this year will u.s. troops pull out or will they leave the answer is that it's going to be hard to meet the may 1 deadline so what we've been doing what i've been doing and what secretary blinken has been doing has been we've been meeting with our allies those other nations that have nato allies who have troops in afghanistan as well and

and if we leave we're going to do so in a safe and orderly way but the question is how and in what circumstances do we meet that agreement that was made by president. trump to leave under a deal that looks like it's not being able to be worked out to begin with how's that done but we are not standing a long time. president biden also joined a virtual summit held today by the european council biden was invited by council president charles michel and this is being seen as a sign of europe's readiness for a return of u.s. leadership in international affairs biden told reporters today that a rising china demands a united front comprised of the u.s. along with its allies in europe and further afield and earlier this month and apparently got the chinese attention that's not why i did it i met with our

allies and how we're going to hold trying to accountable region australia and new japan the united states the so-called quiet. because we have to have democracy he's working together before too long i'm going to have we're going to invite the alliance of democracies to come here to discuss the future and so we're going to make it clear that in order to deal with these things we're going to hold china accountable to follow the rules. obeid and also address the challenge posed by all the credit countries such as russia and china to democracies around the world he said that we are living in an era where people around the world must be shown that democracy works it is clear absolutely clear and most of the scholars i dealt with pen agree with me around the country that this is

a battle between them the utility of democracies in the 21st century and autocracies if you notice you don't have russia talking about communism anymore. it's about an autocracy the main decisions made by a leader of a country that's what's at stake we're going to prove democracy works. and although president biden has only been in office 2 months and despite the fact that there are 3 and a half years remaining in his term reporters repeatedly asked biden about the election in 2924 will he run for a 2nd term and will vice president couple a harris be his running mate again. then on a related note had you decided whether you were going to run for reelection in 2024 you haven't set up a reelection campaign yet as your predecessor had by this time my friends did indeed do you did to. my predecessor. mrs. no no

answer is yes my plan is the run for reelection that's my expectation and if you do if you do write well vice president harris be on your ticket i would fully expect it to be the case she's doing a great job she's agree partnered. with european leaders have their own problems which are demanding attention none is as acute as the coronavirus pandemic a 3rd wave of infections is testing the health care system of most countries just as it did twice before today leaders of all european union countries met virtually in a vaccination summit the biggest problem there are not nearly enough vaccinations taking place a key reason why a highly infectious viral variant has been able to spread so far so quickly frustration is growing today french president emanuel mccrone complained that vaccinations in the e.u. are far behind other countries and he lamented europe's lack of ambition when it

came to procuring enough shots for everyone currently less than 10 percent of the residents have received the 1st of 2 doses in the united states that number stands at 26 percent. accusations of vaccine nationalism are being thrown from both sides of the english channel today in new commission president personally funded lyon rebuffed that claim from the u.k. and she added that the e.u. is the world's biggest exporter of coke at 19 back scenes in a tweet she wrote the following the e.u. has exported 77000000 doses of vaccines to 33 countries since the 1st of december 2020 in addition as a lead donor to kovacs it has contributed to exports to low and middle income countries while remaining open the e.u. needs to ensure europeans get a fair share of vaccines. our let's take this now to our brussels correspondent

geyer much as he's been following this story force good evening to you georg leaders went into this meeting today knowing that their country's vaccination rollouts remain disturbingly slowed did today's meeting to give us reason to expect an improvement. unfortunately brand the summit is not a vaccine factory so no actual additional doses will come out of it at the moment we have quite a bit of haggling over $10000000.00 extra doses that have been delivered by the company violence take pfizer and obviously all of the e.u. once those extra vaccines the real problem the e.u. has is and i checked the numbers again is that the company of astra zeneca simply has not delivered the amounts the e.u. has expected the e.u. builds really on that contract and in the forced 1st water. off this year they only delivered one quarter in this in the 2nd quarter they're about to deliver only

a 3rd of the vaccines that were promised and so it's really these numbers that are lacking and also it doesn't look like that the american president came around and said look here are some extra shots of our johnson and johnson vaccines because what from what i hear from the summit is they rather talked about shared values rather than shared vaccines that's a very important point to make there i mean those numbers are masters in it that are terribly low we know that a decision was made that all e.u. members would allow the european union to procure vaccines for everyone and the argument has been if each nation had bought vaccines individually rich countries such as germany would be far ahead of smaller poorer countries as it stands tonight georg everyone is falling behind are there some regrets do you think. i think clearly some things went went wrong and in hindsight that's what all your leaders it would it would agree to although there's no use it crying over spilled

milk but there are some lessons to be learned and one lesson is that these you trusted too much into open markets that they trusted too much that other countries would also export lots of vaccines you have to understand the e.u. exported 77000000 doses and 88000000 doses went to the e.u. countries so almost the same amount of doses that were minister where export is that's problem number one problem number 2 is they were too careful today the french president said we didn't reach for the stasi and here's really one thing no matter how much well you would have ordered you would have always faced the bad bottleneck the only way would have been at mit half year last year you should have really throw money at the problem and if that we build up capacities maybe we burn that money and nothing will come out of it but there's $1.00 thing that everybody agrees that went right and that was shopping together for vaccines teaming up as 27 to get those vaccines to even smaller member states other wise the internal market

the power engine the power horse of europe would have been in danger and also smaller countries would have simply lost out to the e.u. and the u.k. they have been trading accusations of vaccine nationalism where do things stand tonight do you think that we're looking at more trust or more trepidation. i think if you look at the sheer numbers of 10000000 doses in the past 2 months and probably the same amount in general area in december that went to the u.k. nothing coming back is a real concern here and that is why member states tonight even approved the step of the commission to introduce a tighter export mechanism although the wording appears to be imbedded in strong supply chains so really what they use doing here is put the machinery on the table and say look we want an open and fair market we want exchange we want to keep the supply chains globally but that implies that other countries do the same otherwise

we simply lose out and that is something that the e.u. leaders here feel they can no longer sell to their own populations yeah the be a much better situation if the answer isn't it could deliver what it promised to deliver gave ransoms with the ladies tonight in brussels georg as always thank you . for the more contagious variant of the corona virus that was 1st detected in britain is now fueling the latest outbreaks in many european countries and once again health care workers and hospitals are struggling to meet the needs of all patients w.'s marina's reports tonight from the french city of. missiles did you know is finally feeling better the 62 year old was hospitalized with a severe case of covert 193 weeks ago told me it is hard to be confined you don't see the sun nothing but you just have to deal with it as opposed to a doctor come ology out tells us his patient's condition was serious when he 1st

came to this hospital and don clark in the north of france with 1000 cases rising in the region the hospital has ramped up its capacity working in pandemic mode for one year has left its mark on and his team because he just physically it's hard mentally it's hard it's a marathon the end is nigh it incites but he must persevere we are in a war and now we have to find the ammunition and we have to fight it so that this is. going to doctors and nurses here at this hospital and to encourage say thanks to a difference in comparison to last year they flirt from mistakes and the better equipped but patients are often also younger now and that is mainly due to the spread of the more contagious u.k. virus here in dunkirk which is only a short boatwright away from britain because of we. don't currently have

a real wait and see terminal that connected on current and great britain and that's why we had a rapid increase of the virus in our region from where it then spread and what happened here was simply a forerunner for what happened later in the rest of france he said by sea. when i see that with covered 9000 cases skyrocketing the coastal city of dunkirk was one of the 1st places in france to impose a near complete lucked out again a couple of weeks ago now numbers are going up all over the country france is known to be a vaccine skeptic nation still many here are now waiting impatiently for an interaction but as in many other parts of europe the rollout has been slow this retired doctor writes this a volunteer at a tanker vaccination center his shop supervising the in a queue nations where people are really impatient they all want to be vaccinated

but it is the vaccine production itself which is difficult for you his 6 year old peer at ku cell says she's very happy it's finally her turn. but clear i'm not the baby anymore i will be 5 in 7 but she is. and will she go out more knowledge that she has been vaccinated i think so yes i really think i will have a more carrots now but for far over cusa i will soon come back for a 2nd shot she hopes the vaccine is the beginning of the end of this crisis. on monday the european union the u.k. canada and the united states all slapped sanctions on chinese officials connected to the human rights abuses of china's weaker by minority china is now hitting back targeting the pocket books of the west chinese state television has called for

a boycott of the us sports apparel company nike as well as the swedish fashion retailer h. and m. both companies voiced concerns about reports of forced labor among we girls in china is changing region beijing accuses both companies of meddling in china's domestic affairs night. it's trending on social media in china but not in a good way it's facing a backlash after a statement on china's policies in the change young province saying it won't use cotton from the region. and it's not on the edge and that was singled out this week for issuing a statement last year in which it said it was concerned about allegations of forced labor engine john both annika statements haven't been received well by people in china. literally i'm not see nationally as chinese we must show our patriotism i don't buy these brands and now i will ask my friends to boycott them too. should have. seen those foreigners making money from china but scolding it and

discrediting cotton frontin jiang i will not buy those foreign brands i will support domestic products. or. western brands are caught in the middle of a feud between china and western countries which have imposed sanctions on chinese officials because of the allegations of forced labor but while taking a stance on change young cotton is potentially a human rights issue it could hit their bottom lines in the weald 2nd largest economy. ard for more now i'm joined by miriam's aga masa she is deputy legal director at the european center for constitutional and human rights here in berlin miriam it's good to have you on the program this this is a human rights story but 1st i want to ask you how significant are these boycotts really i mean are they going to hurt the companies or do you see this more as being beijing's attempt at angry window dressing. well i guess it's kind

of both but of course companies are always sensitive to consumer pressure and interestingly enough this time the consumer pressure comes from china so i do think they are concerned and do you expect there to be any changes though in the situation for the weaker minority in china because of all the attention that the story is getting now well i think what you can say that china so far has been very reluctant to any sort of pressure when it comes to the if they're human rights situation in the country and still the sensitivity with which to china and now we act you know it does show also that obviously the china doesn't feel like they can just shrug the allegations off so i guess we're in the middle of somewhat of the scene of an escalating power play and we all need to see if you know if the pressure will be strong enough on china that they eventually

will change their policies what did what did you make of what happened on monday with the united states the european union the u.k. and canada to gether slapping sanctions on these chinese officials was that the right step in your opinion. well i would say it was an important step because it showed that western states want to take a stance on human rights and i think it's only logically that the companies western companies have followed that because i think that is important that western companies also stick to human rights standards and obviously now china is fighting back and is not willing to simply take that which is a very interesting dynamic to see and we will see if the commitment of western states but also western companies is strong enough so that they will actually stick to this where it's interesting that when we're talking about human rights abuses within china the reaction we get from china is trying to hit the west where it

hurts and that of course is in the pocketbook absolutely because it's also very clear that a lot of western companies not just those retail sportswear companies are very much dependent on business with china and i think for the last decade and probably even longer companies and also state western states have been very reluctant to address human rights issues when it came to secure and business with china and now we are in a situation where you know where where this comes really. to to a combination and the question is you know how much is a will it with the west western states and companies willing to sacrifice business over human rights commitments and you know many many people here in europe and in the united states they consider china to be the retail clothing sectors factory for the world if you will but there is also china's large and growing consumer market

so i'm wondering will a boycott in china or will it really make a big difference for these companies at the end of the day. well i guess at the moment this is still at least in the retail business it's still i would think that it's a blow that can't this industry can support it but obviously in the short term but obviously the market west eastern market suspiciously china but also other rising economies markets are of interest to western companies and so i think they are this is putting pressure on them to decide on you know which which business strategies will they take for the next decade and what do you see things as we move forward do you see the economic ties between the west in china including more and more the element of human rights in the. i'm losing

you ok you hear me. yes now i can hear you. final question do you see the future of ties between china and the west including the the factor of human rights. well i think this is now the time where europe and north american states will need to decide whether. this sticking to human rights standards is lip service and is something that they are willing to sacrifice for in the name of profits and business interests or if they are going to stick to this and i think this is really the key question now and we don't know where it will end where you know we will have sorry where states and companies will eventually end up marrying his arguments miriam we appreciate your time in your insights tonight thank you. for finding just the right fit for the patient and persistent jigsaw puzzles are

a welcome diversion especially for those languishing and walk downs here in germany a man has taken his passion for puzzles to extrude he's hoping his latest efforts earn him a place in the record books. peeta schubert has the perfect lock down past time to escape the pandemic panic putting together tens of thousands of puzzle pieces. to self named puzzle king has already done the hardest task he matched the tiny jigsaw pieces in small sections bust. and then fits the $108.00 sections together to make a huge puzzle it takes patience and stamina. i think for temperament refute it took me 4 and a half months to put together the $54000.00 pieces. and i worked every day

between 4 and 5 hours on the puzzle and once a week for a whole day which felt a bit like a marathon of 12 to 14 hours for tantrums. the jigsaw shows an art gallery wall filled with paintings and admiring visitors looking on puzzle making began as a whole b. and it grew into his passion peter thinks he's already personally matched close 243-0000 pieces here in his lifetime so. oh certainly wish walk the day is almost done the conversation continues online to find us on twitter either at the w. news or you can follow me at brant go off t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody.

childhood like no other. for years very manly man was sexually abused by his father . his is not an isolated case but only a few of the victims have the courage to speak about incest. the frenchman has decided to break through the wall of silence against. d.w. . appearance as the essence of. germany's reputation in the

global classroom always top of the challenge. as a reality check reveals some subjects and not in the highest. in environmental sustainability almost social justice and. i listen to train would encourage me. to made. in 60 minutes d.w. . closely. carefully. don't suit me. to be a good band. discover

. subscribe. documentary on. me. hello and welcome to focus on europe liz show great to have your company and insist scandal is rocking france at the moment on social media countless adults are using the hash tag me to insist to share how they were sexually abused as children by family members. these revelations were prompted by an unusual book in her

publication author question him is accusing her stepfather of sexually abusing her brother for years the fact that her stepfather is a prominent intellectual has heated up the debate even more. this man of all malemute also suffered abuse in his own family is one of many in france a recent study shows that in an average class of 6 graders 10 percent of very likely to be incest victims many keep that secret for years just like le mia now he's ready to tell his story it shows how sexual violence against children takes place even in the supposedly best of families. when we were 3 brothers and 8 those who are sick to it and we never talked about it and then others knew the others were experiencing the same. now it was

a kid like many others we had 2 brothers and a sister his father was a teacher and his mother worked at a radio station. lived with his family in an apartment in paris outwardly a seemingly normal life but the crimes that took place in the family home haunt the actor to this day. but you know what i did in the 1st time it happened i was 7 years. i was in bed early because i was a child. my father lee down beside me and showed me his penis. he asked me to masturbate him when i was only 7 years old i didn't know whether that was normal or not. back then and his 2 brothers were regularly raped by their father their mother was blind to the sexual abuse that was taking place behind the facade of their normal middle class life. i felt completely betrayed by the 2 people in the world i trusted the most.

when your father and mother betray you it means no where in this world is really safe anymore. you always have the feeling you're standing on quicksand. but. according to a poll conducted by the market research and consulting firm i p s o s n 2021 in 10 french children have been the victim of sexual abuse by a family member but many suppressed the memory it took years for me to remember the terrible thing that happened to her when she was 5. back then she spent a day alone with her relatives at the family's house in the country. she says it was the worst day of her life. her relative pretended that he was going to teach her how to ride a bike and raped her. with. me when i was 37 years old i suffered an emotional shock and suddenly the memories came

flooding back in incredible detail. it was like having a camera at a child's eye level i saw the aggressor his jewelry his underwear he used his who bit more difficult me you call your mother has now found drawings she did following the assault a girl crying also occur which means help a snake and then nice symbols of the attack and time and again a man with a mustache at the time no one questioned why me it was drawing these things. her mom there's really a paradox in france. the french place a lot of importance on family values and yet paradoxically they destroy these social values by making it taboo to talk about sexual abuse. it's like a code of silence in the mafia so that everyone abides by. the unique ojamaa now heads of french association for victims of sexual abuse it advocates there

should be. no statute of limitations for such crimes that way perpetrators can't simply get off scot free if their victims take decades to come forward all mahlum year has also broken his silence in january 2021 when he saw the hash tag me to incest on twitter he wrote right away me too from age 7 to 14. to this day homeowner mya still finds his father's actions in comprehensible because he was also a loving dad who cared for his children well even now almost struggles to find an explanation. if my father were 20 years old today the world would probably be openly bisexual. but at 3 he might have children with it but he could satisfy his needs another way nuku me. you know that wasn't possible for my father back then coming from a. catholic background. years

later his sister found out about the abuse and informed the school authorities their father then took his own life hamas spent years in therapy. by the scheme i've told my girlfriend everything that happened to me. is unimaginable not to. be with you that's why i mixed up the mystic. in the world is changing and i things like this shouldn't happen as easily settled it would be less likely to happen at all. today a whole month to me i doesn't much care what the rest of his family thinks of him speaking so openly about the terrible past he says too many people are still remaining silent. when into. being on. the show. but

in this. france now wants to increase protection for miners against sexual predators and you a law is expected to be passed in the coming months don't secure its little dogs like these make you wants to cuddle them right away well the business with puppies is booming here in europe especially now with contract restrictions many people are getting themselves pets to fight loneliness and isolation bugs have breeding pets can be a shady business in a number of countries in southern europe dogs are bred illegally those that can't be sold are sometimes this posed of garbage sites our reporter got an inside look into this brutal sector in bulgaria and serbia. a morning unique serbia such a place which is on the lookout for puppies his mission to save their lives be accompanied him for a day. in

a matter of minutes there are stray dogs everywhere it's nothing unusual such a point say 90 percent of them originated from illegal breeding farms social news most of the dogs in the time. you have a panic so i can only take in puppies or dogs in really bad shape if their lives are in danger i just don't have enough earth a set of i'd like to help them home but i don't have the means or. how do we share . a few weeks before sasha recorded these images on his mobile phone. he found these puppies by a garbage dump. sasha says they were abandoned because they were mixed breed rejects to the breeders without him they would starve to death. 150 kilometers further east and saffir bulgaria with the poppy trade is also booming. officially 20 breeding farms are registered in bulgaria there are many

more illegal ones by far and internet search reveals that dealers offer thousands of puppies for sale each day most of them destined for buyers in germany says matt dillon opinion of the animal welfare organization for paws that's where they fetch the highest prices but the puppies are taken from their mothers too early in violation of animal welfare laws. later in the pub these have little real immunity. and they don't get the inoculations they need so they won't catch diseases. but that's it that's a serious problem. combating the dog matthew can be dangerous animal rights activists recorded these images in the legal breeding farm with a hidden camera and investigation was only launched after they reported it to the authorities. we try to get one of the few registered breeders to talk to us about the business but number yet willing. to serve. press it

says the dark side of the puppy trying to lurks behind this gate. he's taken in some 800 dogs here over the past few years. he takes care of them with the needed funds and help from a belgian animal welfare organization and finds homes for them with animal lovers. every dog that finds a new home in belgium through a registered owner who organization. for the entire body tighter test and in. these dogs can intervene completely legally. and i can bug area and insight you. at the end of april and a new law will take effect here this is only registered animals to be sold. as a fee. that's an area in dimitar you know if ski slopes the new law will help but he doesn't really put much faith in it he explains the dog matthew uses all the tricks

of the trade off and forging documents and chips with a veterinarian's help he's even found his own name on such papers the black market dealers at fortune's stamp and signature to sell a puppy all thought. it was determined that the dog had come from serbia one of the principal sources for the trade because it's not in the e.u. when the trail leads there are no further action can be taken on the particular truck finally an official greeter a clue to talk to us reading is a sideline for vince's last duchess. he concentrates on training dogs and follows strict regulations his animals are in demand this therapy dogs are movie and television shoots. and says the responsibility lies with the buyers if they want a dog they have to knew exactly where it comes from i knew the dogs cost time and

money. was a price for every compromise the buyer makes the animal loses quality it's not up to me to make these demands but if we're going to get the trade under control there must be more checks. in the evening in serbia sascha passage by scrooge for the dogs on his farm. he spends $1000.00 euros a month and dogs who don't loom. he couldn't manage without the donations but he says he will be able to keep it up much longer he's afraid the numbers of street puppies will only rise and the illegal breeders from bulgaria will move their operations to serbia where they fear neither laws nor checks that might interfere with the lucrative illegal trade in puppies. we now introduce you to a small town in finland it's called salah and it has applied to host the olympic games in 2032 this candidacy is quite unusual because the games in 2032 are summer

olympics and yet sala is one of the coldest places in finland now this may sound like a joke to some but there is a serious message behind this campaign climate change is affecting the lives of residents like timor to harm the olympic bid is an attempt to create awareness. a skier in shorts braces along the icy track pulled by a reindeer the video clip is a humorous advertisement to stage the olympic summer games in sala northern finland . the reindeer driver in the video is chemo to how he says it was great fun but the video comes with a message climate change means winters in his homeland are no longer as cold as say used to be. normally it would have been so that 1st comes the below 0 degrees on the rivers and creeks they freeze and then we get the snow on top but

now this reenter the last 3 into really got like 2030 centimeters of snow on on the frozen lines. every morning t.-mo to house still checks his most valuable reindeer the ones that pull a sleigh. to succumb to solid love the sleigh rides so the attraction is a good earner. solid claims to be the coldest place in finland. aside from reading reindeer 3000 residents make their living from tourism and selling wood from their forests. the visitors appreciate that they can ski here as late as may for the time being at least. but to hack and pack up the sleighs if the winters get warmer here. climate change could even keep the summer visitors away and last time of guiding middle european people in summer time the reason why they

came to love london summer was that it was too hot in in germany in the netherlands and they said that they are blush 30 plus 40 years just 2 months so they decided to go to the arctic where plus 15 plus 20 ft just perfect for the summer so yeah that's how i would like to keep things. they definitely don't want it to get is warm as it does for the summer olympic games despite the fact that in this tongue in cheek video they're playing volleyball in the snow and swimming in the ice. with. scientists are confirming salo isn't all that cold anymore climate researcher 2 cups of the university of helsinki has a research station near sala. he says in northern finland climate change has reached crisis level. the arctic areas in general general are warming faster than the the global average so even though.
