1:05 am
for us thanks for the update. well staying here in germany and the country is seeing its highest rise in corona virus cases since january 1 of the main reasons is the slow pace of vaccinations fewer than one in 5 germans is being given a 1st dose but the vaccination drive has picked up speed in recent days now among those getting a 1st job was chancellor angela merkel her office released this image of her stomach vaccination document 66 year old medical was given the astra zeneca vaccine and said she was delighted more germany news and corona virus cases are rising which has led to a warning from medical workers that intensive care units are being pushed to the brink didn't you reporter tessa visited a bird in hospital that is close to capacity. we're at the intensive care unit in berlin scatty tests hospital half of the patients here
1:06 am
suffer from culvert 19 dr thomas kuhn and this team have their hands full and the beds are filling up. their lungs because of this lowly you can see that there is an increase at the moment when not yet in a situation that brings us to the edge of what we can do with your crown but we know that if the numbers continue to rise we could certainly have problems understanding those who. have occurred in recent weeks the number of covered patients in germany's i.c. use has been rising sharply again by now at the peak of the 2nd wave of the pandemic has almost been reached intensive care beds are becoming scarse and the workload of stuff continues to grow. intensive care nurse tim cook has also noticed that. among men of now in this 3rd wave it is particularly
1:07 am
noticeable that the patients are getting more seriously ill and ill for longer also they need a lot of care that means the situation is very challenging and very stressful for us you really need time to relax when you're off work. but it is not just the sheer increase uncovered patients that worries the teeth that patients' health is deteriorating fast and this 3rd wave of the pandemic they are also an effort to get them before probably also because most people over 80 years old have already been vaccinated. the average age is now much younger compared to the 1st or 2nd waves and we see that very clearly we don't really have any patients who are over 80 years old anymore they're almost non-existent if you would you know to what extent german hospital could pass. breached varies greatly from region to region but some already completely full others are still coping one thing would help more
1:08 am
vaccinations we're going from good to think we won't get out of this without back scenes and they're very important but it is also important to stick to hygiene measures keep that distance and observe current coverage for strips of each and everyone must take this been demick seriously and can do that part to make us get out of this is quickly as possible the truth. if the number of patients continues to rise other important treatments would have to be postponed in some areas and that is already the case the situation many doctors agree is serious. u.s. president joe biden has repeated calls for congress to pass gun restrictions after another mass shooting biden has called gun violence in the united states an epidemic the president ordered flags to be lowered at the white house and other government buildings in honor of the 8 people who were killed at a fed ex warehouse in indianapolis on thursday.

1:10 am
picked for the time of crisis but earlier today a white house spokeswoman jen psaki is here we joked at this suggestion arguing that the main imperative mentor addressing the crisis are the congressional republicans and not a lack of will in the white house nevertheless there are some small executive negotiations on capitol hill for example an expansion on background checks as for now people with dangerous histories can easily buy firearms on line or in a gun show here in the states because a background check is not necessary to buy a gun and president biden has also appointed a new director of the poor for alcohol tobacco and firearms and explosives and agency responsible with enforcing existing federal gun laws and executive actions and this agency has been without a full time director for the last 25 years because politicians who are being supported by an r.a.
1:11 am
the national rifle association have been constantly blocking nominations arguing that a strong leader of the agency would threaten the 2nd amendment here the state's right well this is all being discussed of course biden has another issue to deal with which is russia now moscow has expelled 10 u.s. diplomats in response to u.s. sanctions what's behind us. president biden announced yesterday several sanctions against russia do you to the alleged interference in the tourney to any presidential election in favor of a republican candidate donald trump and also due to the cyber attack on solar wind that allowed them to spy on more than $100.00 companies worldwide and also due to the increasing military presence of russian military in crimea and these were mainly economic sanctions a bat by them has also expelled 10 diplomats from washington d.c. and from new york they have less than 30 days to leave the united states and this
1:12 am
is now russia's response to that a clear diplomatic escalation problem. 2 more reporting from washington for signs from last. well some of hong kong's most prominent pro-democracy campaigners have learned the price of standing up to china's increasing power a court has handed down sentences on $10.00 protest leaders over mass demonstrations 2 years ago despite the crackdown remaining anti-government activists say they haven't given up hope was they've just been handed a sentence for participating in protests yet they are still calling for hong kong as freedoms i was i the media tycoon jimmy lie i was among those sent to jail for producer painting in huge pro-democracy protests back in 29 taint he received a sentence of 14 months. for thinking if i was going to start

but there are many more times. more people put enough of it in so i don't know that still. hold on there even. 4 of those convicted were given suspended sentences including 82 year old former lawmaker martin lee and elder statesman of the pro-democracy movement. the convictions are a blow to the pro-democracy movement in hong kong which is facing a strong crackdown by beijing and hong kong authorities i've come to think of this civil human rights front is very very disappointed by the sentencing today it creates a chilling effect that makes us citizens afraid of speaking up it also makes the society gradually lose a rational patient and peaceful voice to communicate with the government oh yes there were. massive protests swept hong kong organized 29 tain
1:14 am
they began as a reaction to an extradition bill allowing people to be transferred to mainland china and then activists feed opposition leaders could be sent to china now they have been crossing. you didn't harm. despite the sentences activists say they won't back down in the fight for freedoms for hong kong but it's getting tougher and tougher to stand up for democracy in the city. i well to sport now and leipsic and hoffenheim left it was very late to provide the drama in friday night's bunz legal action it was in the last minutes of injury time that leipzig finally found the back of the net and looked like yusef polson had stolen 3 points in the very last 2nd of the match but the referee ruled the goal as the ball had struck poles and the arm on its way into the gulf that means the points were split and leipzig give barn munich the chance to widen their league and they play valse birth

choosing to fly to russia to secure a job. which is due to be business in berlin welcome to the program of beijing says china's economy grew by a record 18.3 percent between january and march compared with the same period a year ago as large as those of the absolutely dire 1st quarter of 2020 when china battled its iron corona virus outbreak but analysts say the figure nevertheless shows the chinese economy continues to game and. from busy construction sites to car production lines humming with activity. and ports like brimming with cargo ready for the world new data has given fresh optimism to hopes that china has the wind in sales the economy expanded by more than 18 percent in q one compared to the same period last year when the coronavirus 1st hit but when
1:18 am
compared to the final quarter of 2020 the group was a disappointing 0.6 percent. officials said the country was on a stable path but that business confidence had not fully recovered in a egal in the 1st quarter of this year the trend of economic recovery has continued of course the pandemic continues to spread the international environment remains complex and serious yet the foundation of domestic economic recovery is not solid enough some say it doesn't businesses are experiencing a number of difficulties. the statistics office also announced that the urban unemployment rate fell slightly in march testament to the success of jobs fairs like this one and perhaps a further sign that the world's 2nd largest economy has rebound quickly from the global pandemic from the world's 2nd biggest economy let's cross to our
1:19 am
correspondent in the world's biggest economy is going to joins us from new york so are the 2 global economic giants now returning to full strength there clearly it's a similar picture here in the united states i'm standing here in brooklyn and as you might see store so open the economy is speeding up we just got some latest figures on consumer confidence here shortly before the weekend and that hit the highest level in about certain months or since the pandemic began and for the united states being a country that is so driven was sick consumption it's always a good sign is for people to keep buying and we also got some new of figures on the labor market just some updates actually $49.00 of the 50 states here in the united states created jobs in march him only only alaska actually saw a decline in payrolls so clearly all of that is some helping that we're also seeing some pretty decent growth in the united states. it's funny that it's not actually
1:20 am
that long since the us was struggling with the pandemic and the 10 as a you know as recently as january is it's now truly out of the woods. well at the moment that's what most economists believe that actually we could even see a boom phase for the next 22 years or so i guess what we shouldn't forget is that a lot of the growth is so i would call it to market fischel there we had the u.s. government is throwing about 5 trillion dollars on this crisis at the end of the day that's all it takes payers money we also have the federal reserve for keeping interest rates so low so that it's much easier for some companies to so wife if they can get money more or less for nothing and what we also shouldn't forget is a crisis usually comes for a corner where you don't expect it so everybody seems to be very upbeat at the
1:21 am
moment it also reflects in the prices at the stock market we hit another record high was the dow jones industrial average cheer on friday we just finished the 4th consecutive weeks of gains but as i said there could be a crisis and also the recovery is on even there's still some parts of the country some parts of the population that are still could struggling quite a bit and scotto joining us from the streets of new york thanks for the update. now south africa's struggling tourism industry is in dire straits with the country subjects and more coronavirus travel restrictions than any other nation in the world following one of the hottest 1000 lockdowns on the planet the country was then hit by the imagine self highly infectious 19 variant now foreign tourism to south africa has been all but wiped out. all alone in the african bush safari operator nico iraq's most relies on foreign tourists at his 2000 hectare

1:23 am
restrictions this year on the wrist of the wall though much of the recent tool is really putting the final nail in the coffin off to reason in south africa. so where toes famous vilakazi street where nelson mandela once lived is usually swamped with foreign visitors. businesses here are turning to locals amid bankruptcies and closures that. before corporate this place was buzzing with falling tallest fluking day in day out 7 days a week 247365 so after chipped in the business went down but slowly slowly with the main focus on domestic tourism slowed to the business picking up but not its people but while this strategy is working for some it's not really an option for most tour operators whose business models rely on foreign tourists.
1:24 am
it's pretty but i mean just for stuff we have to let go 50 percent of the stuff my share fees during the cleaning out just to keep busy hopefully it will turn around will get through this again if not i don't know what's plan b with the ongoing travel restrictions a reversal of south africa's tourist industry collapse isn't in sight and we've been speaking to south africa's tourism minister i'm a local by bonnie she says south africans themselves will play a big role in helping the sector through demick to get back some time might get. what tourism sector and that's why we have appealed to me all of us to reposition the ports and also to the. interest now and the mists in the meantime getting to misty why do we keep getting 10 east of like it. now some of the other global business stories making the news techie central bank has banned the use of crypto
1:25 am
currency is a just pick for purchases citing transaction risks is unclear the lack of regulation and supervision and possible use for illegal purposes the bank says the payment ban comes at a time when the liver and lungs weaken inflation stubbornly high. most training courses found google guilty of breaking the law reverse collection of personal use the data the judge found the tech firm misled android users about the way their location information was being gathered australia's consumer watchdog is seeking financial compensation. and here in germany the coronavirus vaccine rollout is picking up pace but it has been slow to get going as a result some germans have been looking elsewhere to get jobs including to russia. a tiny needle prick and a covert 1000 vaccine sputnik v enters heintz get pinker knows bloodstream. it's certified as being highly efficacious pinker now is one of several germans who pay

2000 euros for a vaccination vacation his wife is also getting a dose of sputnik v. . just as there is. a few great i didn't even feel the job. it also means we can look forward to being able to travel again in future israel has said it will open up to people who've been vaccinated. from one. to 2 departed from frankfurt today go. they're among the 1st 18 tourists who pull the 4 day trip to moscow. they return at the beginning of may for a 2nd job. then got stuck on it you can't count on getting a vaccination in the near future in germany to be honest i think we're being sensible the more people are vaccinated the sooner we recharge immunity to treat it . the media are out in force to meet the would be vaccine knees russia's government is happy to get one sputnik v. to be a top export 60 countries have certified it for use the european union is more hesitant
1:27 am
doubts have been raised about its efficacy so the kremlin could see vaccine tourism as good publicity. tour operator world visitor welcomes the business. as a tour operator we at least have work for some of our staff and generate some revenues we otherwise wouldn't have and for russia that's peor and solves a couple of german problems as well. sputnik the is available to all russian citizens free of charge but only 30 percent of them are interested a quick straw poll shows many welcome the fact that germans are coming to moscow for their shots. if they've got problems of vaccines in germany they should come here i don't think it's bad boys need to be. with you they should come to russia where the best. with them let them have their vaccinations are vaccine is very good
1:28 am
. even though sputnik field isn't even certified yet the next few weeks will see quite a few more vaccine vacationers like pink you know heading to moscow visitors says bookings are surging. so for me in the business the same here in berlin a great weekend. well you ready for some great news i'm christine one glass on the eye on the edge of my country with a brand new do you know the news africa this show that tackles the issues that shape the continent now with more time to off on an in-depth look talk to all of the tram stop the talk show you what's making the hittites and what's behind it which way on the streets to keep in the reporters on the inside w. news in africa. next on. building the

1:34 am
adopted another child who had lost his parents on the way here. for. the next day we started for the neighboring island of cuba the un food program has also planned to mission here. but our trip ended when we were halfway there so we just. moved forward to discover the i mean all the surrounding islands had one point where it attacks by the insurgents. no luck no times we're definitely stuck on the close by mainland militants still stage deadly attacks on villages plundering them to finance their operations after recent attacks international cooperation stopped their operation on the planned nature will gas facility. which we don't know really how far are we to our source or father would have. lots of
1:35 am
other escaping. we have to wade through shallow waters and mangroves for 3 hours before we encounter the 1st inhabitants. and then finally we get to the island of cuba and aids boat docked in the evening before. the island's government administrator helps with distributing food that's critical for survival here. without this food we'd be in utter crisis almost everyone here lives from the sea but the refugees from the mainland they are farmers and can't fish without this food aid it will be chaos here. about 4000 people lived on this island before the insurgency now is more than 10000 people was thousands of displaced people leaving the mainland in the coming year in the past months looking for a safe place to stay just that this isn't exactly
1:36 am
a safe. yes last year terrorists attacked the island pillaging it and killing 2 villages the local administrator was able to hide in time but they burnt down his house. of course i feel bad everything of value then i had was in there. it's like i lost a part of my family. now the administrator lives like they're refugees in a tent in front of a neighbour's house. many here have lost actual family members the terrorists kidnapped 30 islanders mainly girls usually fear of a 16 year old daughter was one of them. terrible people they come from far away take our children and don't see why or what it is
1:37 am
they want i'm sad i'm enraged i just don't understand it. there's no trace of the girls and no international outcry over they keep their pain with their gado province people are worried about more attacks most feel helpless against the terrorists and so far not a single soldier has been stationed here on the island. now 6 presidents of the south african development community sub back we sent the held emergency talks in the mozambique and capital my political they are greek the other western situation in the northern province of kabul delgado in mozambique is indeed a serious threats to peace and security for the whole region but no solid agreements were made public instead so doc vowed to quote proportionate response to jihadists what do you. say to.
1:38 am
being. told. all. these is. ready for. the. government to. review. the monitors i'm now joined by olivia ghita he's a terror expert and by gender i top global struct on international security on geopolitical risk consultancy pham hello say that for your time now for us tell us more about who these insurgents are and what the aim is. this group originally called but it has no relationship with somebody and group started in 2017 about. 15 members at the beginning.
1:39 am
and sophisticated group they had only. pack to look oh police station i point. in traction and again following during the years and now we're talking about books in the 2000 members but also very importantly they pledge allegiance to the southeast asia in 2013 and. revolutions in 2019 and made the group now a force to be reckoned with in terms of the attacks. the equipment they have and that's why they come to the forefront of the international news with. the taking of a town of one point it's still not clear what is the. what's interesting. ensured she studied about as usual the distribution of anti-corruption we know that capital cattle the northern province
1:40 am
where they're located has a lot of natural resources so we're going to talk about. the gas but it has also ruby gold mines and also very importantly. for arrowing trafficking coming propaganda about 25 to 30 percent of the arrowing distribution from afghanistan goes through mozambique and. so. a lot of corruption from officials from people from the army and so that's how it's starting to look for an insurgency but it has now turned into a jihadist movement ok now you briefly touched on it because if you're right they said denson now seem to be targeting areas that are rich and not for me is also why are laying down why is that the reason why they are going after the oil and gas is basically this is going to be the biggest investment project
1:41 am
a not forgotten the next few years i mean the windfall for the gas project is going to be about $60000000000.00 which is 4 times the g.p.o. mozambique this is the jewel this is really where the wealth of mozambique going forward is going to be so it makes sense for them to extract a nice area but also in the case of for the 1st time ever they attacked foreign. to get more traction and they just try to you know be stymied states to get more publicity ok now how often was on big responded to business edge and c. and why has this approach failed to stop being so dense so far. beginning with this regular army to try to tame the. insurgency it didn't work very well so there was an agreement between the us already and
1:42 am
russia's. to bring in mercenaries from divac new group back into a group and the russian mercenaries one backbone because they were defeated so then the government hired another mercenary group called the binary group from south africa and using a mix of the army and nursery it's not really working out. to be changed in the medium to long run so the original body back i agree that such high enough attacks cannot be allowed to continue without the proportion of its regional response but we don't know the details about me doing. extremely difficult because the regional intervention orning international community intervention will have repercussions
1:43 am
and what we don't want to. do that we've seen time and again with foreign interventions of possibly. joining the fray and we've seen how sophisticated and good for instance or something said days i think that will have a. solution. then use to be some kind of. major push from the government and u.s. authorities but also the regional body making sure that they're. not begin to draw back but it's very thorny situation and unfortunately i expect it to be. growing growing and we heard we're going to get about mozambique a lot in the next few months and years. sounds very complicated. then my mate and global strops thank you for your insights. thank you.
1:44 am
you're watching d.w. news africa still to come using come where a new type of martial arts to get violent kids off the streets. but 1st to south africa where the suspension of the johnson and johnson vaccine has dealt yet another blow to the country's vaccination drive the rollout has been put on hold outs of reports of rare blood clotting in a very small number of people set off a car in february already stopped the use of the astra zeneca vaccine as she would no efficacy against the aggressive local virus variant biotech pfizer jobs only due to arrive next month on that stretch of one of the looming bad waves in a moment i was thinking to a south african viola just a 1st let's take a closer look at what's happening in south african hospitals the situation there is
1:45 am
already spiraling out of control for patients and for health where this means a doctor who says she's had enough of unsafe working conditions. doctors so little want to trim but is wary of vaccines 9 years ago when she was 21 she became ill with tuberculosis despite having been inoculated against it. before coronavirus vaccines reached south africa she resigned from her post in a public hospital because she didn't feel safe anymore that our kids since it was still as dangerous as they were when our contract. takes you top you know which i feel is a huge problem it's a huge problem and shows that after all these years you know the odds of how far a former colleague made this video of support here she is wearing full personal protective equipment but she says that in the hospital where she worked it was either not available or inadequate to fund a work in intensive care and as
1:46 am
