oh. this is good news live from berlin and the global vaccination drive suffers a setback u.s. regulators recommended causing the use of the johnson and johnson shot after reports of rare blood clots the company says it's now also delaying its european rollout also coming up the u.s. is reportedly planning to withdraw all of its troops from afghanistan by september 11th this year but with peace still far from secure what will this mean for the stability of the country at. minneapolis on edge

a 3rd day of protest over the fatal shooting of a black man by police and in the same city the trial of the police officer charged with murdering george floyd continues that the defense arguing the use of force against him was justified. plus in sports byron munich get a jetted from the champions league despite eating our sandra model what could it mean for buyers coach has the flick. i'm sorry welcome to the program. the rollout of the johnson and johnson vaccine has been paused in the u.s. europe after excuse me the us europe and south africa after reports of rare blood clotting in a very small number of people health authorities say that they were halting the use

of the shot while they investigate the cases and that they were doing this out of quote an abundance of caution now the astra zeneca job was also recently temporarily suspended in some countries after being linked to a rare blood clots. 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 far in the u.s. . so i had a j. and j. that's an 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 that that's. like 3 days ago and so you know hi i'm just hoping that i don't think that it's going to happen to her you know anybody that budget. 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. 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. then get it within the janssen job has been partially rolled out in africa where 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 and for more on this i'm joined now by to o.p.'s current epidemiologists and professor at berlin's charité hospital thank you so much for joining us this morning was it the right decision to pas the vaccine. yes it is the right decision because we need to be careful this is a measure of caution to have to investigate those 6 cases 7000000 vaccines have been given to people but nevertheless this is a concern as much as it was a concern was the astra zeneca vaccine what will this delay now of the johnson and johnson rollout need especially for europe's vaccination efforts which have already installed. well the whole depends how long this hold will take if it's just a few days then i think there won't be too much difference but if this is weeks or

months even that they have to delay the rollout and certainly does go slow down the vaccination programs in germany and europe and globally ok so what we just have bring it into the bigger picture now i mean we've we've seen you know restrictions put on on astra zeneca and some age groups now this johnson and johnson delay what could this potentially mean for vaccines for example like sputnik or a vaccine from china are they the next ones which could be stopped because they're all part of this this group this viral vector vaccine group. it's speculation at this point but certainly there's a concern that this group of vaccines and nations will cost is very rare blood clot so people and investigators and agencies look very carefully if there are any reports coming in and then look very carefully if this can be linked to that scene or not so we have to be careful but nevertheless the real problem is to corona

virus and i hope that we can continue to vaccine people as quickly as possible how about the new variants i mean we we've heard now about this this this 3rd wave for example in germany which has been a knowledge by the chancellor is now being being the toughest what do you make of what's going on right now with the new variants and and the way that the measures in place are trying to to get the cases under control. well certainly it's a setback also developing and as soon as you know our knowledge are reacting as well to the defects in nation as to wild type nevertheless it is important that we continue through all of the vaccination to not create more mutants invariants in the future so hopefully there will be a decision may be the vaccine cannot be given to certain age group but it's very important that we continue to allow the vaccination programs to be as cut epidemiologist and professor at berlin charité hospital thank you so much for joining us on day that the illness thank you for having me. along with worries

about the lays in the vaccination dr health authorities here in germany are concerned about the growing number of covert 1000 cases today's figures show a huge increase in the 7 day average to more than 150 confirmed infections 410-0000 people on tuesday the federal government approved a new bill temporarily calling for lock downs to be enforced in all areas with high infection rates. she wants more clarity and a more uniform approach to coronavirus measures in germany frustration had been mounting over the last few weeks as it became increasingly difficult for the federal government and germany's 16 states to agree on common shared rules to tackle the growing cold 1000 cases. the order to improve the situation and to slow down the 3rd wave to break it and turn it around the measures implemented does far by the federal government and the states don't go far enough our response of

the pandemic must be more stringent and consequential. the response includes changing germany's infection protection act in order to grant the federal government more power to enforce coronavirus restrictions health matters are normally under the jurisdiction of the states but this has led to a patchwork of sometimes contradictory rules the new law would force any state with a high incidence of cold in 1000 cases to implement the same regulations including limiting gatherings introducing a nighttime curfew and shutting down non-essential shops leisure activities and restaurants people in berlin think stricter measures should have come sooner. i don't think they are the right measures but it's basically too late for the right measures. they should have been introduced in the here and go. i think there are too many people involved and it is very difficult to reach an

agreement it would be more efficient if fewer people were making decisions if more power lay with the chancellor. health experts have been warning that the situation in germany is serious the number of covert 1000 patients currently being treated in intensive care units is rising and risks reaching higher occupancy levels than at the peak of the 2nd wave of the pandemic. if you don't take this number goes and who are really concerned and actually we have to as soon as possible to prove to people from going on. because i'm not treated in. the new legislation still needs to be approved by the german parliament angela merkel has search she hopes the buddhists will implement the changes swiftly and for more now i'm joined by our chief political editor michelle look at her and

her lead. is the blunder saga set to approve this legislation. we expect so but not as fast as angela merkel's government has hoped there was a hope that this whole more could be done and dusted within this week it will now take a least until the end of next week but it will put all 16 states now legally on the same page on how to respond once the incidence rate reaches $100.00 or even $200.00 and at $140.00 we expect that law then to be implemented immediately so that would send germany into once again a deeper lockdown including curfews ok and you know it was interesting we heard in the piece there are sums of views of people on the street and there was one man who said great new measures but the should have been done a year ago is there that sense more broadly in the population that this is maybe a little too late. well it's interesting his perception that because

a lot of this was done a year ago and what we've seen in the past year is an erosion of ungrammatical zal sorry right at the beginning those 16 state premiers did pretty much whatever she said germany was in the state of national soccer once this pandemic hit but since then we're now down to the 3rd wave and individual states treat this wave different the felt that there are different priorities and that is something that has caused a lot of confusion and dismay monks' the german population also experts are warning that time is simply running out not every of those 16 states has the time to learn that now's the time to act and clamp down on this wave once again so what she's lost in all sorts he says now making up with a federal law which all states also have to sign off on so there's now no power shift really in this federal structure towards by the. political editor of the hair look of more on the story for us thank you and now to some other developments in

the pandemic infections in india have reached a record daily high almost 180000 cases were recorded on wednesday with the total so far nearing 14000000 south korea has reported its highest daily jump in new infections in 3 months health experts are blaming increased travel which they say shows public vigilance is falling and there's just $100.00 days to go until the postponed tokyo olympics despite doubts it can be staged safely olympic officials are insisting the games will happen. it's going to look at some other stories making headlines around the world iran says that it will started reaching uranium up to 60 percent purity a big step toward weapons grade uranium tehran making the announcement 2 days after an explosion if blames on israel hit a key nuclear facility the islamic republic denies that it is seeking to build a nuclear bomb. south korea has condemned neighboring japan's plan to release

treated radioactive water from the fukushima nuclear power plant in 2 years' time seoul has asked officials to explore possible international litigation against japan but tokyo says disposing of the water into the pacific ocean is safe and essential in order to decommission fukushima. all the united states is reportedly planning to withdraw our all american troops from afghanistan by september 11th of this year president biden is due to announce the plans later on wednesday there are about 3000 american soldiers in afghanistan serving alongside some $7000.00 additional nato forces by this plan extends the may 1st withdrawal deadline set by the trumpet ministration by 4 months u.s. officials say that will give washington more time to coordinate and orderly withdrawal with nato allies but the taliban has threatened to renew attacks if

foreign forces are not out by may for more on this let's bring in. who has the view from brussels bad this withdrawal it would mark the end of 20 years of war in afghanistan for the americans how has that gone down with washington's nato allies who rely on the u.s. for its troop presence in afghanistan. at least there's a sense of relief that there is no plan for an orderly withdrawal the trump administration voted to leave afghanistan already on the 1st of may that would not have been workable and feasible and so they too can plan for 4 more months and the ministers of defense and the foreign secretaries of nato will gather later in the day in a video conference to talk about how to organize this straw poll because you have to keep in mind that 9000 troops in afghanistan 2500 from the americans but 7 thousands from least 35 other nations and germany the 2nd biggest.

supply of troops in afghanistan so all of this has to be organized no because the main goal of nato is of course to get the troops out safely and the taliban of concer already threatened that they will attack troops may 1st so this would be a very difficult operation to leave gunderson after 20 years and they're threatening to attack those troops after may 1st because that is the date that the child but ministration agreed to with the taliban for the u.s. withdrawal you know given that they're now talking about september 1st of all what does this mean for the future of peace talks with the taliban and 2nd of all what does it mean for the stability of the government in afghanistan what sort of situation could could the u.s. be leaving behind. but a spokesperson for the taliban already announced that they would not take part in the next round of so-called peace talks with afghanistan which was scheduled to

turkey at the end of this months and the taliban the level of widens is still high and it's got it's done it's targeting the civil population the civilians and now the taliban threat to attack the troops again so this bill of course these deadlines the whole country and after the troops if left it's no less sure that the taliban do take over again and that we reach the same status we had 20 years ago when nato went in ok this potential was draw down also coming as nato is facing a threat much closer to home as we know that's on the russia ukraine border where moscow has been expanding its military presence in recent weeks it's drawn sharper of ukes from nato members including the u.s. just like to hear what the u.s. secretary of state has had to say on this and they get it get your reaction there after united states stands firmly behind the sovereignty and territorial

integrity of ukraine that it is time warner we're seeing unfortunately. russia taking a very rocky ride i want to thank you right we're now seeing the largest concentration of. russian forces already since 2014. diplomacy in high gear over ukraine what's been happening back to. well the data minister is really reassure ukraine certainly today of support but they will not send any troops or something to russia and they all look know a washington because president biden is inviting the president of russia vladimir putin for a summit to solve all these issues you know the relations are very bad and they do is hoping that biden can resolve these issues down to record and brussels thank you the white police officer who shot a black motorist in a scuffle in the u.s.

state of minnesota has resigned the chief of police also offered to terminate his employment the mayor said that he hoped that this would help calm the situation but protesters took to the streets for a 3rd night in a row on tuesday despite a curfew tensions are also being fueled by the trial in the same city of the police officer dark chauvin who was charged with killing a black citizen george floyd have a look. at minneapolis remains a city on edge for a 3rd day people gathered to protest the death of yet another black man at the hands of a police officer. i. don't see right was shot have to use arrested during a traffic stop. police say body count footage of the officer who shot him shows that she mistook her gun for her taser shooting night by accident.

and. both the office and the local police chief have now stepped down but that's not enough for many here not far from went on to write was killed another black man george floyd died in the choke hold of a police officer derek shaven is currently standing trial for his murder. outside the courthouse the families of both florida and right student united in grief. they're very much. goddamn i. know my son he don't have a dad his dad will get to see him for his 2nd birthday or for any of his birthdays and i'm just so messed up about it because i feel like they stole my son's death from her. really apple you are ok sweet devoted to her getting more than i

was we're here and we will fight for justice but it's family just like we'll fight bob brother. meanwhile inside the courtroom one day 12 of the george floyd trial the prosecution rested its case and direction of instant fans started presenting their arguments you. they will try and prove that children's use of force was not excessive and that it was drugs in poor health that raquel destroyed we'll believe that's what the outcome of this case could either mark a step in healing racial wounds or it could further inflame the tensions that are being felt here in minneapolis and far beyond. and muslims around the world have been marking the start of ramadan islams holiest festival is normally a time of fasting communal prayer and feasting for the 2nd year running coronavirus

restrictions have drastically scaled back celebrations in many countries for example in pakistan authorities have asked people to exercise caution because of a worrying 3rd wave of infections. after well over a year enduring the strain of the coronavirus the locals are almost accustomed to the relative stillness of the slow horse street for the 2nd ramadan running it's usually bustling restaurants opposite a major mosque are closed blame the pandemic and a 3rd spike uncovered 19 cases here this vital part of the pakistani qana me has been shot in the country's 3rd major lockdown. since the covert 1000 pandemic broke out there have been tight restrictions on the lifestyle of an ordinary person has been badly affected the food industry was hit especially hard a bread maker who's been working on a daily basis what does he do if he has no work getting. bread and

a sweet bread makers not tied to the closed restaurants and cafes are still working the other side of the food industry sees date sellers too still selling dates but not many. this is usually the peak time for trading in fruit and vegetables but both buyers and sellers are complaining of really high prices. not just of a bottle a yeah i do coronavirus pandemic laborers daily wages are suffering their income is low. they can't buy highly priced fruits 6. i'd say that prices should be affordable for every ordinary person. and everyone can buy fruits during the holy month of ramadan. coyote i'm gonna logically what i'm going to mosques like this one in karate are almost continually swept for ramadan clerics are urging the faithful to follow tradition and safety protocols from sunrise to sundown and from sundown to sunrise. the holy month and muslims offer prayers and

fast and expend all time for prayers and ramadan greetings. and i ask everyone to follow all safety procedures in this time of the pandemic. play. the sweet honey desert will be a feature when ramadan ends at sundown on may 12th with the celebration eed l. fisher the pandemic and its effects however will linger for months after. announcing the champions league where byron munich have been knocked out of the quarterfinals by paris anja mon the defending champions won one nil on the night in paris but lost in a way goals press harrington from deja vu for instance you can see him sitting here next to me and this is the s.s. welcome to you thank you talked through all the action well as you say if they lost the war it munich but they won this recent battle in paris you know and it was a very interesting match you know what they were able to do in paris they were not

able to do obviously in munich model no it did a good job containing neymar of their very prolific striker up front you know they did a good job with that in the former player heir to promoting actually came through and converted a goal things look good going in to the break i thought in the 2nd half maybe it would be able to become electric and get that extra goal they needed to go on and successfully defend their champions league title you know but obviously nothing was good enough and in fact it was paris a job they had a goal called off through and bop a. after the game the captain manuel neuer pretty much echoed by since my early on he said they deserve the one nil victory but they should have done better in munich they had so many opportunities in munich all squandered they did score 2 goals but it wasn't enough and it was sad to see that their reign comes to an end not only they were booted out of the german cup competition but now the champions league so now all the focus must be on the bundesliga so what does it mean for the coach hands if they can. that's what everyone wants to know right you know how to flick

he basically gave us a little queasy after the match and addressed a lot of things he talked about his future and he said one thing that whether he's at bahrain or with the german national team the pressures of mit's and his family will support him and that's very important as it really touchy scared of. back from addressing this point but in previous press conferences he refused to address his future byron munich and according to all reports right now he's scheduled to have a big important meeting with oliver kahn the new chairman and i guess he's supposed to show his loyalty improved oliver kahn how loyal he is you know but there are pundits out there that believe that ozzie flix already made his decision and they believe that his last game of this season out berg will be his final game with byron munich then he will pick up things when you he love leaves germany but it's all speculation right now we have to really let the dust get settled and let the flick declare it but a lot of rumors that have come out previous like this have proven to be true and

maybe this will follow suit and it. is for thank you ok. here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you here on news the rollout of the johnson and johnson vaccine has been imposed in the u.s. europe and south africa after reports of rare blood clotting in a very small number of people health authorities said that they were halting the use of the shops while they investigate the cases and that they were doing this out of the boat and abundance of caution. and now before we leave it is time to let out some of that cope with 1000 frustration with a bit of hard rock rolling stones legends mick jagger has teamed up with david rohl of the foo fighters to release a pen to make anthem which jagger said was inspired by coming out of lockdown let's take a listen now to the track which is called easy sleazy and we will leave you this if you really leave you with this now news thank you so much for watching enjoy.
