worries about side effects from another virus vaccine u.s. regulators recommend halting the use of the johnson and johnson one shot vaccine after reports of blood clots. and nickel fairly good to have you with us unjustified unexplained and deeply concerning that is how nato secretary general yes stoltenberg described the sudden build up of russia's military presence on the ukrainian border kiev is accusing moscow of amassing thousands of troops along the border and on the crimean peninsula russia claims the troop movements are just military exercises ukrainian soldiers have been fighting pro russian separatists since 2014 and there is renewed fear that bloodshed might again be on the horizon. russian warships on

their way to the black sea parts of the military buildup around ukraine that's been stoking tensions in recent weeks. military camps like this one have sprung up and witnesses have reported seeing rows of tanks in the area now the west is condemning russia's build up and reiterating support for ukraine. united states stands firmly behind the sovereignty of. ukraine that's. where. we're seeing unfortunately. russia take very provocative i want to thank you. for concentrating russian forces on ukraine's border regions $24.00 team. that was when fighting between pro russian separatists and ukrainian troops 1st erupted in ukraine's east more than 14000 people have since died in that conflict
1:03 am
which has yet to be resolved. in response to russia's latest moves nato secretary general yen stultified said the military alliance would stand by ukraine. we also increased presence in the black sea region in their black sea with more naval presence and more ships and more puerto visits and we are constantly looking into how we can continue to step up and provide more practical support to to ukraine to help them defend themselves ukraine's foreign minister said the offer of help was urgently needed we need measures which will deter you can russia and which will contain its aggressive intentions. these could be as secretary-general mentioned. a new round of sanctions which would raise the price of russian aggression. later on she's day must go hit back saying it's

appointments with you tonight his actions. in response to the alliances military activities that threaten russia we took appropriate measures. with muscular sending more troops and equipment to its western ukraine and its allies are also pushing for a diplomatic solution but accusations of blame on both sides to continue. meanwhile the u.s. is reportedly planning to withdraw all american troops from of ghana stand by september 11th of this year president biden is due to announce the plans later on wednesday the decision will keep thousands of u.s. troops in the country beyond the may 1st withdrawal deadline set by the trumpet ministration there are about $3000.00 american soldiers in afghanistan serving alongside some $7000.00 additional nato forces the taliban has threatened to renew attacks if foreign forces aren't out i may 1st. lots of
1:05 am
movement there for some analysis let's talk to michael o'hanlon he's a senior fellow and director of research at the brookings institution in washington mr o'hanlon welcome to doubly good to have you with us by move on afghanistan is certainly full of symbolism the september 11th date marks 20 years since the $911.00 attacks on the u.s. does afghanistan mark a 20 year failure for america. well you know i like the way you ask that because this is a time for 11 symbolism doesn't really work for me i don't really know what message that biden ministration is trying to send by this policy that i think is a big mistake handing over the leverage and the odds in favor of the taliban at a time when the peace process was really just beginning by september 11th are we trying to say that we're tired after 20 years and that's all we can muster are we somehow claiming to honor the anniversary or the legacy or the sacrifice or the
1:06 am
loss of those who died that day i don't really get it and i'm really quite confused and surprised by this decision i thought they would have at least spent 2 or 3 years at this very modest level u.s. and nato military presence to support of the these process that really hasn't yet had a chance and now we're going to see the taliban feel they have the upper hand i worry that these process could really break down and that large scale fighting could erupt on a much more scale than we're seeing even today the taliban are still very much there and stand to gain as you just pointed out from the u.s. withdrawal will anyone else benefit that's a hard question you know i think the answer is really no maybe iran iran probably would like to see the united states get a black eye on this overall mission you might say maybe russia would benefit in a broader geo strategic sense after your ukraine story but even russia doesn't really want an afghanistan in chaos with extremists on the rise i don't even think
1:07 am
pakistan really wants that they may have supported the taliban all these years but do they really want a group that's had a parallel organization in pakistan sometimes destabilizing their own country so i just think it's actually an area where the world can generally cooperate if we stay the course and it's so much easier to stay the course because we reduce forces by 95 percent compared to their so all the more reason why i'm confused about this decision. what tensions also rising again over ukraine as we just heard i'm wondering if the u.s. playing some kind of 3 d. chess then valving these 2 regions do you see any links there well there are links and certainly vladimir putin likes to play chess or at least he likes to play judo he likes to look for your mistakes and take advantage of them my guess is the biden team is reflecting an american prostration and actually the prostration of joe biden himself and his secretary of state and perhaps his national security adviser
1:08 am
who have been around these issues a long time and maybe they're just tired of hoping that somehow things can get better in afghanistan we're all tired of afghanistan it's a prostrating place to be operating the mission has not gone great however the government there is still in control of the cities there is still some degree of improvement in women's rights in education there is still some hope that a negotiated peace process could work although all that hope is now in jeopardy if not discarded today and so again i find this an unforced error by the by the ministration i don't know if there is still any possibility of rethinking the decision by these strikes me as just a moment when we could actually 'd aspire to a long term steady state small presence that would see facilitate a peace process we've decided to the teeth and frustrated to continue that i think it's quite regrettable michael o'hanlon at the brookings institution thank you very much for your insights thank you. now take

a look at some other stories making headlines around the world at this hour in the u.s. the minnesota police officer who fatally shot an unarmed black man dante wright has resigned can potter was a 26 year veteran of the brooklyn center police force the city's police chief tim gannon also stepped down following the shooting incident has prompted 2 nights of under arrest in the city. 12 germans accused of plotting attacks on muslims asylum seekers and politicians have gone on trial in the city of starts got prosecutors say 11 of them were members of the far right group terror organization which aimed to overthrow the government the 12 men is accused of offering the for material support. the drugmaker johnson and johnson says it will delay the rollout of its covert 19 vaccine in europe after health authorities and both south africa and the united states move to suspend it's used due to health concerns the
1:10 am
single shot vaccine has already been that ministered to nearly 7000000 people in the u.s. most with no or very mild side effects but u.s. health bodies are now investigating unusual blood clots that occurred in 6 women under the age of 50. authorities are calling it a short pause the u.s. is johnson and johnson vaccine has hit the same stumbling block as the u.k.'s astra zeneca job did last month a likely link to a rare and deadly blood clot use of johnson and johnson's janson vaccine has now been halted across the u.s. with health authorities investigating 6 incidents of clotting in younger women one of them fatal. the u.s. developed vaccine uses an adenovirus to trigger immunity the same mechanism as the astra zeneca vaccine janson accounts for roughly 5 percent of vaccines delivered so
1:11 am
far in the u.s. . so i had a j. and j. vaccine appointment today and. i saw the news about it getting kind of revoked so i called and i asked and they said you can get the pfizer vaccine instead of my wife just to save that these days so you know hi i'm hoping that i don't think that it's going to happen to her or you know anybody got that jay-jay job. this is a setback to europe to johnson and johnson announced it will delay its rollout on the continent the company had already started processing an order from the e.u. of 200000000 doses. and your magical i imagine there will be repercussions as we're waiting for millions of doses but this means the controls are working if we need to be cautious we need to be cautious it wouldn't get better if you did the janssen job has been partially rolled out in africa where
1:12 am
a majority of countries don't have enough vaccines even for their own health care workers the african union signed a deal for 220000000 doses this year but u.s. authorities remain hopeful they're saying it could only be a matter of days before the rollout resumes. now to some other developments in the pandemic drugmaker pfizer says it's ramped up production of its vaccine and can deliver 10 percent more doses to the u.s. by the end of may see oh albert burleigh is that pfizer will also supply the full 300000000 doses agreed for the end of july 2 weeks early and turkish president russia type on has announced a partial lockdown for the 1st 2 weeks of ramadan weddings and other crowded gatherings will be banned during the 1st half of the fasting month as well all intercity travel. in the champions league byron munich had been knocked out in quarterfinals by paris the
1:13 am
defending champions won one nil on the night in paris but lost on away goals jonathan crane from data always points is here to tell us more jonathan walk us through the match well it was always going to be a very difficult job for by munich we had to go to paris and score twice at least if they want to go through with or without robyn nevin of course there are star striker and we know about the quality that paris and your man have so difficult match ahead of them neymar one of those paris quality players could have a hot streak i think in the 1st off it would work several times a bind to take the lead those 3 were eric sure promoting a very scrappy go really they scored in the 1st leg he repeated the truth but that was it remarkably for that goes by and threw everything at paris and around the 2nd half they can get that elusive 2nd goal it finished trio on aggregate but because paris as amount scored 3 goals in munich combined and he got one in paris paris to go through last season biron won everything there was still when they won the champions league the cup they're out of both of these competition this time around
1:14 am
what does that mean for coach on the offensive flick has been a lot of speculation about future speculation he's going to create i think what i need tense if i now offer this defeat he's been linked with the germany job which will be vacant very soon of course i think we can say it's been a very difficult 2nd season really by a lot of conflict with the sporting director. i think flick has been unhappy about some players that have left or are going to leave or say about the quality of the players that have come in and he even said recently in a press conference last year the team was better hardly a glowing endorsement of what he has and i think the fact that he was injured and the fact the bind didn't really have anyone backing him up to replace him is a sign of that so huge disappointment that they've gone out of the champions league i think 3 far from battles on the pitch the biggest problem has been vassals behind the scenes all right great always a pleasure and he. you're watching the debates about berlin coming up
1:15 am
next as my colleague rob what's with today's business headlines and to make sure to stay tuned for that and don't forget you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our web site that's d.w. dot com and for me and the entire team here in berlin it's great company. and. i'm secure in the volume or that's hard and in the end it's a me you're not allowed to steal and more we will send you back. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers were alliances of the what's your story ready. i mean when i was a women especially in victims of violence. take part and send us your story you are
1:16 am
trying in all ways to understand this new culture. you are not a very little or nothing yet you want to become a citizen. in 4 migrants your platform for reliable information. fears of a blood clots hit another vaccine johnson and johnson says it still ain't shipments of its job to europe after concerns were raised in the u.s. to hear from our correspondent in new york. a large portion of the u.k. is fishermen and women voted for bret's it now many are facing ruin as the e.u. applies 3rd country trading rules to the former member. of the discovery discovery world look at how locked down. it led to
1:17 am
a revival of the final. this is the doing business on robots in but then welcome to the program. doesn't johnson says it's delaying the rollout of its coronavirus job in europe it's after regulators in the united states recommended a poor's in administering the single vaccine following reports of potentially dangerous blood clots 6 cases suspected after almost 7000000 doses of state regulators in europe who also assessing the reports johnson and johnson was planning to ship hundreds of thousands of doses to the new in the coming weeks. let's cross to our financial correspondent in new york yen scorsone now how is this news gone down on wall street johnson and johnson probably was the most discussed topic on the wall street here on tuesday and we clearly saw a reaction on the stock price johnson and johnson for ones trading lower not
1:18 am
necessarily but losing about one and a half percent in value on the other side of the competitors. and pfizer beyond tech we saw some uptick there especially well during the trading up to by a good 7 percent also beyond take care of it but also gets traded on their tech exchange and our stock up by about 7 percent to $50.00 only slightly higher because they don't overall depend so much on the vix ian says those other companies do and then also if you look at other companies those who work at home stay at home stocks soon for example or peloton trading higher and then on the other side those reopening place like airlines for instance are losing a bit of steam here in the queues this session yes speaking of the reopening is what does this set back with the johnson johnson vaccine mean for economic recoveries in the u.s. but also beyond. yeah you already mentioned it it really depends on the region and here in the united states some experts actually believe that the effect
1:19 am
might be limited there probably is enough vixie in the left from the more during or and pfizer beyond ticks chill that there won't be any significant delays when it comes to mass effects in asians here in the united states clearly the big question mark is was all the headlines that we had surrounding us president it can even if that is not approved here in the united states and all johnson and johnson if people might become more hesitant to get any vixie in at all and vaccinations i mean that's one of the keys to really get the economy going but looking outside of the united states europe was betting on johnson and johnson some countries in africa like south africa for example they were also hoping that johnson and johnson might help to next innate to the population and so it could have an effect on those economies and reopening some having that said there is clearly some of what we've heard from experts that it only might take
1:20 am
a couple of days and not necessarily weeks or months before johnson and johnson might be approved again but clearly we have to wait and see what comes out off the new studies that we're hopefully getting any time soon and keep watching it for us thanks for joining us. now some of the other global business stories making the news a sharp rise in the cost of gasoline so u.s. consumer prices surged not point 6 percent in march that's the biggest increase since 2012 analysts say the jump is probably temporary march of last year marks the beginning of the lockdown in the world's biggest economy. the return of the 737 max to service helped lift boeing's 1st quarter plane deliveries yeah kraft maker reporter $77.00 commercial plane deliveries from just 50 planes a year ago boeing said orders also picked up in march fueled by a major deal with southwest airlines which helped offset some cancellations. the

1:32 am
i can't forget the sound of the kalashnikovs. he lives in rio de janeiro but nowhere near the beach. or me just as his wife always prays for his safe return whenever dimitri on march eans sets off to preach in a dangerous neighborhood come along he himself grew up in the slums and ended up making lots of money through crime. and 50 men cheat steal all gone to cabo. fortunately i did bad things. kill people. that's why today my mission is to convert drug addicts and criminals. to you know. he's on his way to a prayer meeting it will be the 1st time he attends one since the pandemic hits.
1:33 am
while gangsters patrol the streets with automatic weapons dimitri on march eans prepares to deliver a sermon. evangelical christianity is booming among the poor in rio this is one of the many churches in the favelas. uganda believe that if you go astray you usually have 3 options get killed go to jail or end up in a wheelchair that's my message to you and me and. the. churches pastors get the service going extatic practices are typical of this brand of christianity there are a lot of young people in the congregation. that. dimitri o. asks anyone to come forward who has a friend or relative in a drugs gang. i don't feel soon half the gathering is standing in front of
1:34 am
him that's when he starts talking about his time as a gangster he. and they are. part of life that i lead i have money and power but i have to hide every night because i couldn't trust anybody. not even my friends. later back at his home he told us he never got a good night's sleep as a gangster but he had had high expectations when he joined up as a poor boy from the slums he saw it as a chance to be somebody. let me see why was that we should i started to take drugs and got in with a bunch of criminals and we would attack other guys. as i rose up through the ranks to become boss in the complex so alemao favela.
1:35 am
he reached his criminal zenith in the late 1980 s. and early ninety's a wild time with lots of partying and lots of drugs. dimitri omar chines oversaw 25 drug dealing venues as the right hand man other major drug. fights with rivals were bad enough but attacks by the military police were even worse a hit team caught him by surprise one morning. i was walking down a steep when i noticed i'd walked into a trap they started to shoot. * * but i don't know i fell i was in shock he stopped bodyguards ran off. since then dimitri a has been paralyzed from the waist down nowadays he spends his days going around
1:36 am
the favelas preaching and trying to get gangsters to reform. the story is well known a bad man who found god in the path of virtue many people here find it moving. that. he often talks to the dealers hanging out on street corners here. they seem to accept him and they pray together. even those who carry a hand grenade with them just in case. maybe the government needs to create opportunities for the kids here so they don't just make the obvious choice to become dealers or lose their freedom or even their lives. are going to be going to . those who choose to go clean and renounce crime are relatively few in number. wagner jody is one of them he got his
1:37 am
1st revolver when he was just 15. so i came up by page it's probably my rear went well i was soon one of the bosses and i'd loads of cash and then in a shoot out i was grazed by a bullish couple as if it but i get out the way they should. nowadays he's deputy head of the local residents' association he helps people fill out forms and deal with the authorities. because it gives a whole new beneath the series mad so all i have left from my former life are bad memories and scars i sleep much more peacefully than i did back then. was that they are supposed to be a guide to the me by. he's devoted himself to improving conditions in the neighborhood digging drainage ditches and clearing roads i plan to tarmac this one . when dimitriy omar chines the preacher does manage to sway a gangster it's usually during
1:38 am
a prayer meeting it's quite standard around here for dealers to attend and engage with the pastors. towards the end of the meeting a young man is moved to get up and tell his story of redemption. the lot of it of course i was sentenced to 14 years in prison then i found god and then i was released now i shall always walk with god. other congregants find such declarations inspiring it gives them hope then another dealer comes forward to receive the blessings that you got the a c. to outsiders it might seem very odd that drug dealers can be god fearing. here it is everybody must know in his heart what he is doing. it was he to clare's his intention to live a cleaner life if he doesn't. i want to give up drugs. dimitri

1:41 am
the goods are growing fast they're almost ready to harvest. grown on water taste better and contain more visible. we don't need any chemical fertilisers or pesticides so these vegetables are better than the ones grown on the much better. seedlings have already been planted on the adjacent bed the roots store nutrients out of the water the beds are made up of water highest since decayed organic material compounds that fertilizers the plants they're held together by nets and hardly move there's almost no current here. of it all mother has become something of a star in his village his income is now 3 times the local average the whole family works on the farm. his daughter is in bedding gourd seeds in bowls of compost they will then be planted on
