friends were reunited both countries shot there for years at the beginning of the pandemic their sale and headed forced isolation for arrivals from australia to discredit buyers breaks their. well that was the scene in wellington new zealand correspondent rachelle harrison has this report from sydney it's been a lone 13 month wipe out the day is finally here a covert safe travel call it all has opens between australia and new zealand with travel is no longer needing to quarantine on arrival in either country here at sydney's international airport around 2 dozen flights between sydney the new zealand scheduled to take off and land this monday whether they were uniting with family and friends or taking a well deserved holiday people are excited i'm grateful to be travelling overseas once again it was really weird feeling to be allowed to and you almost feel like i'm breaking the rules a little bit is a yes' or the bit is quite exciting yeah it's really it's great to have the

opportunity we just haven't been on a plane for so long it's kind of. we have to go somewhere get back on a plane we usually travel quite a bit so it's being a long time we haven't seen each other for 14 months thank goodness busy man messenger and stuff yeah so interesting there announced it at 4 o'clock last she's a template for i've booked a ticket straight away this is only the 2nd travel bubble to exist in the world the 1st was set up between taiwan and pull out earlier this month both australia and new zealand of the close had free off to taking a tough stance and closing their international borders early on in the pandemic it's right to say that perhaps we're on. you know the have been down the path of recovery now many travelers may be dreaming of exotic getaways in faraway destinations but this will have to do so now australian prime minister scott morrison has dashed hopes of long haul travel happening any time soon on sunday saying he's in no rush. in the country's international border though this may be

a 1st step towards future travel bubbles with all that close it's safe countries. for now let's cross over to sydney and talk to jane holton she's a commissioner on australia's code 1000 abide for a board and a former health and finance minister thanks for being with us so travel between australia and new zealand is now returning to something close to normal how important is this for australia well a stronger new zealand of course have a very special relationship and there's been train is made of people's between australia new zealand fee use and there's lots of families that is late across the tasman so i think for many many families this is such an important day the opportunity to go home doesn't matter which way you are going but to go and see your family and friends is such an important part of what's going to take really rather a difficult period for all of us how are people in australia responding to this it

must be a huge boost for their the whole know their sense of well being. well exactly and i think everyone's been feeling very constrained shut down him day in and the opportunity to actually go some way for a holiday i think is something that is such such now seems a luxury that it's made an enormous difference actually to people's psychology their feeling quite upbeat about it so in a straight and instead of just being able to travel domestically now people can go to one of their favorite travel destinations the zealand and similarly kiwi friends cousins and relations can come this way so it's really an enormous stimulus not just her emotions but also i can i say to the economy. you serve on the visor a board for the club in 1000 advisory board there in in australia as a commissioner your formal former minister of health does australia have any

lessons in handling the pandemic that other countries might benefit from. well and i suspect that the lessons that australia has that classic public health lessons and we n.b.c. lead and some of this if it all and colleagues and you mentioned taiwan and we have a new enormous advantage that we are islands and we were able to shut who it is and then control travel by instituting current change going back to things that were really done last for a century ago that in many countries of course was not a practical reality those decisions were taken very early and it's meant that we can i will to drive down to 0 most of the time coded in the community and kind of the term transmission in the community now from many other countries that is just not we were ash and so i think the lessons 'd for the future not necessarily for this endemic but i do think in the future rapid action in public health rapid

attention to getting viruses where they 1st image under control and ideally eliminated is exactly what we should be learning for the future. thank you very much for talking with us so that was jane hall commissioner on australia's cover 19 a bug report or health and that's missed. a huge shake up in european football 12 top clubs from spain italy and england have announced the formation of a breakaway super league the new midweek competition will be independent of european football's governing body you way for the super league is expected to be highly lucrative that include many of europe's top money making teams like manchester united and rail madrid as well as the $12.00 founding clubs another 3 are expected join before the 1st season which according to a statement will start as soon as practicable. well you

a 5 has threatened to sanction clubs to take part in the break whately they released a statement saying quote the clubs concerned will be banned from playing in any other competition it domestic european or world level and their players could be denied the opportunity to represent their national teams. well for more on this we're joined by jonathan krane from sports good to see you jonathan how much of an earthquake is this for european football well there's no getting away from it really if this super league goes ahead it will transform the face of european football in. the traditional structure is if you like it would really damage the integrity of those you wait for competitions like the champions league now i see you a fair it was planning its own reforms of the champions league largely to stave off such a threat we've had rumors therefore speculation as that stretch used as

a negotiating tactic by these big clubs this is the 1st time terry that they've actually late that codd's on the table and said what they're expecting and we can have a look at how this leak might take shape as you mentioned 12 found this so far that will eventually rise to 15 they hope 5 of the clubs would qualify on merit they play this in midweek 2 leagues of 10 teams and then the top story in each of those groups would go through for a knockout to 2 had to sight of the winner and now what this amounts to critics say is effectively a closed shop for all but the biggest clubs in europe excluding or the odd a fine man power grab being backed by the american bank j.p. morgan and those taking part will get hundreds of millions of euros just for competing i can see them just sucking the money out of this of football of european football what does this mean for the future of the champions league the europa

league only what having your wife is saying they're going to ban these teams it would effectively render those competitions you've mentioned a 2nd clus competitions without the biggest clubs in europe now you read you a fair statement understandably they are absolutely furious about this that saying clubs would be banned and taking part in domestic leagues a player has banned even from taking part in the world cup. i mentioned that reforms they were hoping to reform the champions league your way for include bowl games and obviously bring about more money that was due to be rubber stamped today it's unclear now given what's happened whether that will even take place the backlash has been fish not just from you a fair we've had backlash from european governments the european union itself and found groups none more so than the found groups and those clubs involved found supports his supporters europe recording the simply irresponsible and anti competitive servant by greed and so there's going to be legal challenges ahead just

what about this people are very emotional obviously about football there are some noticeable absences from the super league lined up at this point so far german teams for example are not. yet know by munich who of course the reigning european champions dortmund so far now those are the 2 german clubs you would expect to take hearts but waiting for comment from them but a couple of reasons may be found in germany do you control club members have the controlling say so props given the way the wind is blowing perhaps think well they weren't there to get it past the fans anyway also the people in charge of those clubs unlike some of the other clubs involved in this if they do have a bit more of an emotional connection props former players they do know about the traditions of these european competitions and maybe that's holding them back no paris and your man as well another big club so far have not said they will take jones and train from sports thanks so much you're welcome. and we'll have more

football and other sports later in this program 1st let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world today egyptian authorities say at least 11 people have died and nearly 100 are injured after a passenger train derailed near cairo on sunday the train was traveling from the egyptian capital to the nile delta city of months sora egypt has seen several railway tragedies in recent years. emergency teams are racing to contain a wildfire on south africa's table mountain the blaze started on sunday and reached parts of the university of cape town burning the historic campus library and forcing hundreds of students to evacuate at least one firefighter has been injured . moscow has expelled from the czech republic is trying to please the united states. the united states has warned russia there will be consequences of jailed opposition leader alexina body dies in prison if asked to

see his doctors in march to treat back pain and numbness in his legs when the prison denied his request he began a hunger strike as condition has since deteriorated almost 3 weeks into a hunger strike no vollies doctors still haven't been able to visit him but blood test results they've seen tell them his life is once again in danger. i'm worried about my patient i was alarmed by the test results he has extremely high levels of potassium and increased creatinine which may indicate kidney failure that's why i think we need to save the man in an instagram post from friday nov only stated that prison officials have threatened to force feed him. russian diplomats have told foreign governments that his claims are exaggerated. his

supporters have called for nationwide protests warning that this could be their last chance extreme honest to god so can extreme situation demands extreme decision we now announce a rally so did wednesday april 21st at 7 pm in the central squares of russian cities. anyone who turns up knows the risks police detained over 10000 people during the january demonstrations following nepalis arrest. though here in germany the acrimonious power struggle over who will lead and america's conservatives into the next election continues the governing c.d.u. c.s.u. alliance had planned to announce a candidate over the weekend the decision is now expected today the standoff is between baucus sort of the various premier and i mean lush and the premier of germany's largest state north rhine-westphalia blush it is also the leader of the c.d.u. and is supported by the party's executive but certain of the smaller sister party

c.s.u. is a lot more popular among voters. has not publicly endorsed either of them. and let's bring in michela chief political correspondent our chief political editor i should say they give a good to see you the 2 rival conservative candidates here the 2 people want to stand for the conservatives in this election become chancellor they said they would have this worked out as to who it would be who they would get the nomination by the end of last week it didn't happen so where does this go from here. yes we were even sitting the definition of what the end of the week is and there was a late night meeting on sunday evening for 3 and a half hours on the 2 men simply couldn't work it out. instead we saw the youth organization of the conservative bloc here in germany come out in favor of marcos zuda from the varia so that's quite

a surprise so this month fight that's been going on for just over a week now since my 1st suit suddenly declares that he would now officially run is counted after having his posse and much of the opinion polls here in germany call for him for months and that is there's no end in sight to this state at the same time we're seeing the green party today declare their top comes it will be and no doubt this is damaging for the conservatives ceding you just under 6 months ahead of the general elections in september but this jostling michela to become conservative chancellor countered it's been going on for weeks can you give us the short answer of why it's taken so long. well the short answer is and that's it the newly elected c.d.u. party leader didn't you know that he definitely wants to take the job instead he says whoever has the best chance is at the ballot fox should become the man on the

ticket or the woman even and then my office did i took him by his words looked at the of the in polls where he's way ahead and then declared his candidacy now with a loss and still not wanting to back down after the upper echelons of the conservative c.d.u. are backing him so complicated isn't it but at the end of the day it's 2 men behind closed door was in a room who have to work it out and that is proving very very difficult and very bruising but i'm going to medical conservative senussi as you dock here and well speaking of uncle americal this you know we're talking about her party here what's her role in all of this because it is perp attentional successor we're talking about here. absolutely but she's the time and time again it's reasons last week that she wants to stay out of this when it came to electing a party leader she was backing. implicitly but ever since she's also criticized him

and she's also been seeing mako pseudos a former critic pretty much quote her along the way so she's doing her best to keep out of this and at the same time it exposes that the map will style stability politics was also what held her own conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. blocks together so we're ready new political times leading up to these elections in september when i will says she'll need the political stage for good for him a thank you very much our chief political editor mckenna coming up. now to the current of pandemic while many countries are still struggling to roll out vaccinations to the older members of their population the u.s. is already offering shots to teenagers young people aged 16 and up to now receive the pfizer shot and anyone 18 and up can get them a down a shot is a chance for them to get out of the house take risks and develop the skills they

need to start becoming adults something covered 1000 has denied many young people in the past 12 months. daily training during the penned that's how these 2 brothers have gotten through the last months both. good vaccinated yes as promised teenagers the jap the future being that age is hard enough with the code restrictions it has been even more challenging i think for me it's a mental health and of course like school that thing i was worried like being bag then i went to school. but i think that ways to catch up with academics might with growth and socialization you know it's that's high that the school has been moved into the living room the boys convoyed to get their bikes and. i think you know so it keeps the people my people around me safer and i don't keep myself safe to.

bring a little normality back around this pool exactly by the people in school because you know it's really difficult not to interact people and talk to people. and yeah i mean he's an awesome guy he's my brother. you know friend. them an additional obstacle moth. it's very hard to see people's expressions and it just it gives a sense of like you're talking to a wall. it's just a body you. know you work the u.s. is quick with bikes and nations but what if as in other countries restrictions remain i would definitely out of idiots like right social skills. already played the lottery not the more social i'm going personally. but.

i think i would not really be good for me that's why i try to go back to school b.c. brown is a social worker and sees the huge opportunity in teenage vaccination teens need to be with their peers and need to be taking social risks and doing things on their own outside of the confines of their family home for a teenager to have the opportunity to vaccinate i think is tremendous to give them that freedom to move about with a lot more confidence but for both themselves and for their parents that they can go about their lives and do the things that they're developmentally supposed to be doing right now outside of the us most teenagers don't have access to the vaccine yet they have to find other ways to keep going. in german football news in the been a state at dortmund have reignited hopes of a top 4 finish with
