nixon of on these closest allies were arrested even before the protests began now can you tell us do we know how mr know vali is doing what is what is his medical condition at the moment. well alex in the vining has been on hunger strike in prison for over 20 days now asking calling for his doctors to be able to come and see him he said in an instagram post that he published yesterday that he is a bag of bones because he's lost so much weight and before he also was complaining about back pain about numbness in his arms and legs which he said could be down to the fact that he was poisoned last year with the military. nerve agent his supporters of also said that they have blood test results that show that he could be facing kidney failure or heart problems and the prison service here in russia

meanwhile has been insisting that his health is satisfactory and they earlier this week moved him to a hospital to add to tuberculosis ward actually within another prison potentially to treat him but his allies say that's enough and that's why they've taken to the streets today that's not enough rather and that's why they've taken to the streets today and we share one reporting from moscow thank you very much and earlier a month for the birth leader of the center red european peoples party bloc in the e.u. parliament told us that letting mr nevaeh would result in serious consequences for russia. what he can do is to show to me of putting into his whole system how high the price could be if things went to no avail b. go in a wrong direction that is what we have to show and that's why for me it's clear if any. really hopefully not but if this really will happen that he will die then i think for example that an austrian 2 cannot be finished can it be finalized is

approaching we have to tell the price is high please respect international obligations and reduce the leader there they were speaking to us a moment ago now germany's parliament has passed a new law that will force coronavirus lock downs on areas with high infection rates the measure ends a patchwork approach by federal states tackling the pandemic with infection rates rising or around the country recent polls show the majority of people in germany approve of this latest step to fight the pend epic but it's still sparked some controversy both in the parliament and on the streets. chancellor angela merkel campaigned long and hard for the new legislation but on wednesday she let others take the floor there was heated debate down to the very last moment opposition parties such as the right wing populist a.f.d. tried to have the vote removed from their genda drawing harsh criticism from the

coalition government that is going as it's even if there's no law then there will be no emergency measures and if there are no measures people will get sick and die and the fact that they are now clapping reveals the true hideous nature of this party and even though to go to such a business friendly f.t.p. say they'll challenge the law in the courts. and i did i want to add this there is no scientific evidence which proves that curfews prevent the spread of the virus and to just hope that they will actually make a difference is not enough to justify such a serious infringement on citizens fundamental rights the every big want thanks i give to hash tag but in the end the majority of parliamentarians voted in favor of amending the infection protection act. the changes affect all cities and districts registering more than 100 cases per 100000 residents over a week and nighttime curfew will be imposed from 10 pm until 5 am contact will be

limited for residents from one household to just one other person when the 7 day incidence rate exceeds $165.00 schools and shops will be closed currently most cities and districts are seeing infection rates well above these figures meaning the changes will take effect almost immediately. surveys show that a majority of people in germany approve of the measures many are in favor of even tougher measures but that didn't stop a minority from taking to the streets around 8000 demonstrators gathered outside parliament to protest what they see as an unjustified attack on their constitutional rights they now hope that the new law will be stopped either by the house of parliament the bonus rat or the courts. want to fill you in now in on some of the latest developments in the penn demick at least 22 coronavirus patients in the in an indian hospital died when their oxygen supply was

. could. the crisis in brazil is going from bad to worse at i'd like other countries the virus is killing many children. some doctors blame an extreme immune response to the virus multisystem inflammatory syndrome. critics point to government mismanagement for the 2nd highest covert death toll in the world. doctors without borders calls it a humanitarian catastrophe it says authorities refusal to adopt evidence based public health measures has sent far too many to an early grave

failure gomez starts her day early she gets up at around 4 am worried about having enough food for her 4 children to have breakfast. i wake up with the feeling of being in agony i jump out of bed in the 1st thing i do is stand guard i'm alive i look at my children and think to myself today i'll bring home some food for them i leave the house early to fetch bread there are days when i can't manage to bring them anything but they run out overnight. gomez lives in a for valor of around a 100000 people in san paolo here and across brazil unemployment hit a record high last year this community association helps people living in marginalized areas to find work. we had an 84 percent increase in demand for employment after the government's emergency aid ended and the number of people

seeking our help tripled because so many people didn't have any support anymore and it. up. in december government aid of around $84.00 euros a month was cut making an already difficult situation for many much worse the number of people living on less than 36 years more than doubled many families stopped cooking with gas and started using firewood 27000000 brazilians live in extreme poverty renate tardelli has been researching the fatherless for 20 years. thanks noel he pull the data shows that the poorer you are the higher the rates of infection. the more on the periphery the person finds themselves in the higher the death rate from coronavirus. brazil has added 2000000 more people to the marginalised areas in the past year it's not ethical that brazilians have to choose

between going hungry or getting the virus it's an ethical. when should we use. for our dogs live in the home of sylvia de hayes us she's a cook and the only one still to have a job but it's just one day a week she used to cook in other people's homes but they let her go for fear of infection. that this pandemic is difficult it's going to leave all of us starving and that's apart from all the damage it does to your health look at this q we're all in the same boat. with a shortage of vaccines and hospitals are overwhelmed it's hard to see a way forward for people in the lowest social groups who are trapped by both poverty and disease so life's become even more of a struggle for many brazilians money nicholai is from doctors without borders just

how catastrophic is the situation in brazil. yeah the situation is really bad in so d.m. is if teams are working will who are right in 70 countries we have supported health facilities in the response to kuwait and in the beginning it was difficult everywhere where we see now a year after that the situation is still very very constricted in brazil and our teams together with the stuff on the ground is overloaded they don't have for instance the drugs to into bits to give them the right and c.z. so we we have images where nurses are sitting on the ground next to people dying because they don't have the beds they don't have an oxygen they don't have enough medicines to treat the people properly so it puts immense pressure on the who health care system but especially on the stuff as well and people are dying the

numbers that we have that's every day these unprecedented especially on trees are some of those numbers might be as out of a population of 211000000 there are about 14000000 official cases close 266000 confirmed infections every day and to put it into perspective the death toll globally has passed 3000000 of the hof a 1000000 of those in the u.s. and brazil about 375000 why such a poor record. yeah well this is the right question if you put the numbers on the screen so this is exactly why we have taken the microphone to speak out about this because there's no court immune response we don't want this pandemic in the intensive care unit you have to have actions in the population as we all know who are in europe and elsewhere if we have to do things not only vaccinate but we have to go measures like wearing masks keeping physical distance. work

reduce law essential mobility. do testing and contact tracing all these things are not done in accordance with in brazil and the health authorities are not behind this and it's scientific it's knowledge that we have constructed over the last year and it's not being implemented in news is brazil's leader at fault here in this case well we got $20.00 and $1.00 individual it's notoriety it's the federal government and it's the health authorities mo governments we were very well in local level and the people there are overloaded as well they're crying out for help we need a plan we need a good plan that is implemented and we're not asking for very complicated issues it is common knowledge now does it you need a package of elements to implement. those to try to stop the transmission look at the numbers you put on the screen every day the number of people that are getting infected in the health structures cannot go in

a country as brazil because brazil is not one of the poorest countries in the world it has a very good system in place normally let's call it. what's your explanation then for cover killing so many young brazilians including babies. yeah we don't have a good explanation for that so we're also looking into this with together with with with other scientists what exactly is it that makes it of course there are new forms of the virus in in brazil as well so we have numerous mutants of the virus if you don't have a collective response that we're asking for now yeah we see the funeral there is a collapse over or at least 2 to bury people. it's horrible if you speak to brazilians everybody has has somebody that has died or are is is being infused with the mind of the children we cannot get completely explained there are new mutants if you don't have a collective response you get the virus to us ability to create to escape the the

system into some right but the new mutants do not just explain the situation if we compare it to southern africa for instance where we also have new mutants they have x. unaided less people proportionally then in brazil but they are reducing their peak because they put other measures in place so they're really 'd tins don't explain the situation in brazil and we need a public health plan really briefly this multisystem inflammatory syndrome or m.i.a.'s which is being blamed for some of these. deaths amongst children is that what could be the main cause. yeah this is something of this is the for us to comment on it is doctors without borders this is very technical the right research is have to look into this i would like to make any you know

a hypothesis and estimations on it is it's dreadful the job children drive the disease when brazil the whole population is suffering all families are and where we are calling for it stop the disease in the communities by doing the right things and we know what we need to do. have to live in my new life from doctors without borders what have you on the show today thank you. of the 2 hour sides correspondent eric williams who has a viewer question about the european union's vaccination if it. why is the emu reacting behind in their ranks to vaccinate. this isn't really a science question but people here in europe have asked it so often in the last few months that that i wanted to talk about it for a minute 1st of all i think it's important to say that compared with a lot of the rest of the world e.u. member states aren't lagging behind at the moment it's countries have on average

injected over 20 doses per 100 people and are currently inoculating over 2000000 people a day the global vaccination campaign has certainly certainly chugged along faster in some places notably israel and the u.s. and the u.k. but even so in many many other places the numbers of bax unaided are growing at a much slower pace still there's no question the e.u. stumbled pretty badly out of the blocks and it's vaccine campaign and that mistakes were made that will cost a lot of european lives critics say $1.00 of the biggest is what at the time last summer was viewed as a strength which is that the e.u. negotiating as a block drove hard bargains with manufacturers but then neglected to

get the iron clad agreements on delivery and the result was that in the 1st quarter of 2021 only a little over half of the contract of doses were delivered the e m a has also been slower to authorize some vaccines than its counterparts elsewhere and end vaccine destroyed. you showed has proven problematic in different ways both at the e.u. level and in individual member states but there are hopes that the block is now turning a corner of sorts and and many leaders say they still expect to meet the goal of vaccinating 70 percent of the adults in europe by the summer. finally this could win over some vaccine skeptics joints jepps new york recently legalized marijuana so the long time activist on the bill set up

all together they're realizing called just another way of living are you ready to meet the 700 me right. this is the dump and you're coming up today. there is weaving on to the more infectious 2nd wave of the cold all that has its coat infrastructure is stretched to breaking point and it has prompted this warning from the prime minister of. russia our nation is once again fighting a great battle against coronavirus right there. with some until a few weeks ago the situation was under control. but then you.
