this a little more and we shouldn't only listen to the leadership we should listen to the wider party local associations activists also members of parliament and he'll visit the city thinks that some of those people might well prefer him to lash it out well let's continue on that now because mr senator is very confident he feels he is more popular among the german public and some of the polls that bear that out and he's refusing now to concede defeat he's not going down without a fight that that is clear cut that tactic succeed in the setting well it looks like a long shot at the moment. self said that he can't be the candidate against the will of the c.d.u. and after this decision this morning by the c.d.u. leadership to back them man ahmed lash well it's pretty clear what the will of the c.d.u. easy in that sense. has tried to say well you know we should look at policies we

should look at the content and how we're going to try and appeal to voters come the general election later this year he is saying that we don't quite have the clear profile he points out that the see the u.n. to see as you have been kind of losing support in polls and in some regional elections in the last few months the conservative share of the votes has been dropping badly so something needs to be done he says and he thinks that he's the man with the clear a policy platform ultimately to put that to the voters so he thinks he is still the man so there's that mean that this contest is still wide open. well looks like it could run on least for the next few days i would say that it all depends really whether any leading conservative figure has come out tonight or perhaps to

morrow and say that they are backing marcus not a lash out if that happens then that might force the c.d.u. leadership as well to think again about it's choice and you know to possibly ultimately come out with a different choice at the end of this. simon young reporting thank you. in our some of the other stories making headlines around the world i mean mars ousted leader unsung suchi has again demanded a face to face meeting with her lawyers after the military brought new criminal charges against her so she faces multiple charges that could see her barred from office for life she has been in custody since the military seized power in february . russian prison officials have threatened to begin force feeding jailed opposition leader alexina volley that's according to devolve these legal team the kremlin critic has been on

state governor says he's closely monitoring the situation at a time where tensions there are all ready at an all time high the incident comes as the trial of white minneapolis police officer derrick show with killing george floyd last year is still under way. the protesters versus police in the suburbs of minneapolis tear gas and rubber. bullets fired at an agitated crowd and all too familiar scene by now. hundreds of demonstrators surrounded the police station in the town of brooklyn center after reports of another black man shot to death dante wright died during what should have been a routine traffic stop wright's mother said her son called her when he was pulled over. he called me at about 140 that he was getting pulled over by the boy you. and i thought well why did you get pulled over if you pull them over getting in from the are. going to.

after tehran blamed israel for sabotaging its largest nuclear facility israel has not directly claimed responsibility but israeli media reported that an israeli cyber attack was behind the incident a spokesman for iran's foreign ministry meanwhile said his country will retaliate against israel in due time the natanz enrichment site suffered a large scale blackout on sunday just hours after uranium enrichment was restarted at the plant is that it took place barely a week after e.u. back talks in vienna are reviving the international nuclear accord with iraq. i'd like to welcome and now mr anon to buy in distilled or if an iran analysts are a very warm welcome what do we know about who and what was behind the cyber attack i guess we're still in the zone alls more or less educated guesses and it

makes perfect sense to describe the rationale behind this attack to the israeli government and its intelligence. organization mossad we know the israeli position on the jessie j. is continues to be extremely hawkish and the nuclear agreement that you already referred to which is now discussed in vienna to restore the nuclear agreement is something that is worrying the prime minister that benjamin netanyahu in israel a lot so this is why everybody's pointing his or her finger to to israel at the moment and now iran says that the centrifuges that were damaged were so important about this particular infrastructure. well the centrifuges are essential to. conduct enrichment and iran has been. using connecting using in cascades centrifuges also in a way to to exert pressure on the parties to the nuclear agreement using more

modern more efficient centrifuges and this is certainly something that is supposed to raise eyebrows internationally so that the nuclear agreement is more seriously tried to the resort and that's also why this nuclear site is so important and why it may have come under attack from israel the timing is very significant absolutely it's key and we saw an attack on the iranian ships last week. apparently there are concerns that these talks in vienna are leading to the restoration of the milk or cream and that is something that has some serious opposition mainly in israel but also in saudi arabia and other countries that are allies to the u.s. the arc enemies of iran. now what will the impact be on those talks whether they stand. currently it really looks promising i have to say it looks as if

the u.s. and iran the 2 most important parties arguably to the nuclear agreement are trying to work out a path that both sides can sell domestically and to serve the poor the purpose of what the j.c. has been about and the talks in vienna were halted for the moment on friday but are expected to resume as early as this week and there has been some progress in this respect but lots of the tiny details of it are in fact now in progress and that makes it so sense of a sensitive at the moment and possibly such events such as yesterday can make it even more complicated but i obviously hope that all sides will stay focused on what mung on what matters iran analyst ed nonna by many thanks for joining us my pleasure. now in india daily coronavirus cases have topped 168000 and yet has no record of more infections during the pandemic than any other

country except the united states authorities there are hoping now to slow the spread by imposing new restrictions and persuading more people to get vaccinated but many states are complaining of a vaccine shortage and fears now are also growing that many are failing to observe rules on social distancing. from the banks of the sacred river ganges brimming despite india soaring infection rates millions are expected to attend the coup mayla festival covert 1000 tests are required to enter the area but other precautions are ignored still worshippers have faith that they're safe. for their baby boy a sure thing they did more you should. just. put it over themselves by reading moscow. by getting some sort of distancing for both. yes we were afraid

to come during coven 1000 but nothing should happen to us by the grace of mother goddess ganges everything will be fine there are no problems in. the group. but there are problems for the police who say they are too overwhelmed to enforce the rules. will be here pollen can make you look we are appealing to people to follow the guidelines but in the riverbank area social distancing becomes difficult if we try to enforce it severe accidents or situations like stampedes can occur we'll go but make it is for some distance to go prevention measures in india very luck downs are in force in many areas including maharashtra the hardest hit state it's also home to moon by india's economic powerhouse. across india another event is attracting attention the so-called vaccination festival a 4 day drive to accelerate the national rollout. india is an occupation

program had been relatively successful but several states are reporting vaccine shortages. in contrast to this festival authorities hope the vaccination festival will help bring infection numbers down. our current $1000.00 special is up next stick around little rock thanks so much recapping for. the fight against the corona virus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and contacts the coronavirus update 19. on t w. d r e of climate change. most of these.

people. want to do is do they have their future. g.w. dot com for 2 major cities the meeting. could help. to . hungary is easing its lockdown but doctors are sounding the alarm death rates are among the highest in the world still stores are reopening with the government praising its vaccination campaign. at the same time as batting journalists from hospitals. coronavirus wards a feeling to capacity but that's not the message the state wants to broadcast like it or not the 3rd wave he's hitting odd. agree has the highest number of people

vaccinated in europe and one of the highest covert related death rates world wide relative to its population health care workers say restrictions should have been. place sooner and should stay in place longer access to hunger in hospitals for independent media to verify what's going on is almost impossible. one doctor who dared to speak on camera about the situation inside a correspondent funny reports soldiers money for people checking into his hospital treating call the patients when we start to film the building go there and do your t.v. thing over there they ask us to film the parking lot according to staff inside the hospital is that capacity one doctor has to take care of 10 patients an oxygen is in short supply these are just some of the claims for hearing from inside the hospital from a doctor but we cannot verify these claims as all sorts of barred independent media

from entering that doctor is. we need him after his shift 120 hour working weeks on the average now he says but the government says everything is under control. i mean we've heard a lot from the prime minister that those who get sick shouldn't worry that they will be cured that we have extra medical staff but where are they every day we're left wondering what to do we not have time for today what did i forget. most of his colleagues don't want to talk in public because they are worried about repercussions. we need to reach the people not to create panic but to say to people this is what this is about this is why you need to follow the rules. in an open letter to the government a large number of journalists requested access to hospitals. prime minister viktor orban responded in a televised interview. with memo says this is not the time to go inside hospitals

and produce bogus videos and fake news that he took a job. is a photo journalist he too would like to show what's happening in hungary right now . stop filming the hospital it's a public space or it's a very common situation says martin. sam attaché after r.p. this effects the people who want to know the real situation inside the hospitals. and we know that more than 300 people died today. i think music it's hard to tell the story behind those numbers. meanwhile many young people in hungary are starting to shed their masks without knowing what's really going on in hungary hospitals to them it might seem as if the pen demick is already over. to shine a light on the situation in hungary to what your secret joins us she's a senior researcher at the center for social sciences in budapest is it time to be

easing restrictions or is the crisis only getting worse. well by. the crisis. and we have seen me. hurt. so bad. why if i can jump in there when the government's doing so well with its vaccination drive. effective that's the other thing we have a very high that's a nation of 8 at the same time people get into hospital they they are in the really terrible situation current say homeboys and these maybe 2 to speed factors i would say. one of them as. the.

is that the public institution such as the move. in defend the ins in 2017 and since it has seen under. control this means that we are not getting enough information and expertise cannot really tell their ideas their expertise into this the some so far that because the citizens are sick of the problems the other if you may be the center of cuts to the host expenditure in hungary recently not only was that the parsifal under the or by a government and the 3rd was is the most out of my great. care from hungary and in the fast the a. how is the situation with the hospitals on the military bill why

is that and what that affecting the situation. well yeah because i have been put under military rule under the other ephesus. and this means that there is either for or through. by that public because that is where we control over the course and also that they had enough. access to their opinions in the media really and the media use not let into hospitals this was not going. to ace and you know how people are here or this was for the stars and nurses are doing going to amazing top. but it limits the information that the of the we and the media make that as best you learning whatever the situation may be.

we don't offer from a fellow usually how it's best that this is a. situation like the regular hungary and i believe this is one of the young the countries in the world to refuse any sort of extension of unemployment benefits in this pandemic. yes the fund that make us win though does not only have tests related consequences but also really severe social consequences so in hungary just like in other parts of the word many people hundreds of thousands of less. but i suppose other countries including our fellow sense when we look in countries in hungary no accents and so the unemployment benefits the summer me. we lost. with was the we s. that's only in the developed 1st before that and then may with 3 months of

a must must a moment like months in for the benefit that means that after that 3 months is gone you can or cannot receive some so for less this at a very low amount. and in center of. a post come up. people are not registered at all in the state system so they are left without any properly assessed. when they are low for unemployed and this l.o.'s that rate before especially those who have been and best are in place on 5 stories and so on and so forth i also believe the government used the crisis to push through a module c. measures to make life harder for the l g b t community. you know some of the m.o. since the measures have not much to do with coffee. but rather the government's

political incense and through. constant basham measures including. the best. think of 1st i was let out and this is to come for gay couples. and the other one is. that sexual people over to st their sect and their ids with the game does not pass. anything with up on them but rather an idea was to follow the guidelines . to. celebrate the shots and. it was after me that the hijab she cried on the latest developments in the past thank you very much. on the topic of mass vaccination campaigns a mutation is his our very own dairy williams with today's real question. is

there a link between mass vaccination and mutation of the virus. like other pathogens sars kovi to mutates constantly and vaccines do have an impact on its evolution but a less direct one than for example a theoretical antiviral treatment because the work in different ways drugs work by wiping out an active infection while back scenes work by preventing them from occurring in the 1st place wiping out an existing infection with a medicine applies a kind of spore earth selection pressure the only pathogens that survive are those like these with mutations that make them resistant to the medicine and only

they go on to spawn the next generation that's why drug resistance is such a common problem nowadays because we put pathogens under massive pressure to evolve quickly in a very particular direction which is to grow resistant to a medication by deploying vaccines on a wide scale we're also having an impact on virus evolution but a more subtle one by making a lot of people resistant to infection we can drastically reduce opportunities for a virus to spread so we're also upping the selection pressure but in a different way when the supply of potential hosts grows limited because many people are vaccinated viruses that have for example mutate. it to be more infectious they'll have a clear advantage and will on average infect more people that's why more infectious

varian's can supplant less infectious and censor old ones over time and there are indications that this is happening in many places now with sars hope you tube. thanks for watching as they say and see against a. common .

comment the mole on the. bluff to say matters to us. that's why most into their story. reporter every weekend on d w. and you hear me now i'm going to be going to you and i last year's german chancellor

will bring you i'm going to a man called and you've never heard her before surprised yourself with what is possible who is man called really what moves are part of somebody who talks of people who follow along the way maurice and critics alike join us from applesauce stuffs. this is it of the news asia coming up today the island that beach called it painting in. taiwan has recorded just over a 1000 cases of the cold of us in a population of 24000000 so how did it do it and what lessons of that have for others. for countries like the philippines perhaps struggling with an alarming surge in infections that's made hospital beds scarce. and masterstroke. so yama becomes the 1st japanese man.
