promote the german company abroad despite multiple allegations of wrongdoing or appearance marks the climax of a public inquiry into an affair that has tainted germany's reputation for following the rules it has exposed ties between politics and business and prompted several resignations and criminal investigations. all right let's get you on the latest developments now where we are is on the story of the she's our chief political editor mikhail oh tell us about the latest developments. but angela merkel was very much on the defensive and you could see that she herself was surprised by some of the connections that she was quizzed about the fundamental question is why she received the wooden back he's a former minister and her cabinet and pretty only a few days later than raises wire cards then knowing that barack was a lobbyist for wired well she says she didn't at that point in time and that she no

longer has contact with him she says that this payment service fit into an overarching policy that she hides that germany had anyway which was trying to secure market access to particular in the financial sector into china that much her defense but still question marks over her chief economic advisor. how much he knew when and how much his wife was involved in potentially working on behalf of wire cards so this at least raises many questions as well incident where. the optics of all of this not very good. absolutely not and although the finance minister laughs choices from the social democrats responded pretty swiftly with the announcement of an overhaul of germany's financial regulator the baffin this leaves a lot of questions in the room over lobbying and how much access companies should

have angela merkel says that she tries not to work with lobbyists and she advises everybody within the chancery to always go directly to the companies and listen to what they have to say although there were attempts to get more commitment from her side on a lot of hotly debated here in germany with particular greens in the says the democrats pushing for more information she wasn't drawn on that at all it's safe to say though that this tarnishes her image of a smooth operation and a transparent operation in the chancery but how much does it tarnish her in terms of her legacy i mean we're in the final months of her term as chancellor of germany will this have a lasting effect on her personal legacy while this was at best her being tricked by a former minister and at worst being very badly informed because she was still lobbying for wire card when there were financial times reports out really questioning.

whether this company was really conducting proper business it will leave a suspect i would say on an otherwise fairly solid reputation but it won't make as much as a different pandemic which is clearly questioning her credentials as a crisis manager as a crisis manager became a committee to be chief political editor thank you for your reporting. now time is running out in the search for a military submarine that went missing on wednesday with $53.00 people on board and the nation's navy and ships from countries including the u.s. and australia are searching for the vessel after it lost contact near the coast of bali authorities say the submarine's oxygen supply will last only until saturday local time we need to fears it could be too late to save lives. it's a race against time and against the ocean's depth the k r i 402 you may have sunk today to be retrieved on board

a 53 crewmembers and very limited oxygen. their families are desperate for them to be found this woman's husband is one of the crew members he called her right before the submarine set out. you know. we were on a video call when he said honey i'm going to sail i said ok take care come home soon pray for me so i can go home soon he said. yeah but yeah. the search is focusing on this area about 100 kilometers north of barley the submarine was conducting a missile firing exercise here when contact broke off officials say a power outage may have occurred causing a loss of control. indonesia has deployed several navy ships in a patrol plane malaysia singapore and australia have joined the operation and other

countries offering help and oil spill and a submerged magnetic object in the area of the submarines last dive has rescuers hoping they're on the right track but if the submarine has sunk to tape it may be impossible for the rescuers to operate and time is running out. the submarines oxygen reserve capacity in a power outage. it's 72 hours or about 3 days starting from when it lost contact on wednesday around 3 am it could last until saturday at 3 am let's hope we can find them before then. leave. it with you know. officials say the german made submarine was in good condition before it set out to say that after 40 years of service in indonesia it may have fallen prey to the same water has it's been defending. life on mars and

nasa scientists are small step closer to making that possible the perseverance rover has converted carbon dioxide into oxygen for the very 1st time around that's the hopes to be able to do this on a large scale in the future and that could pave the way for human exploration on the red planet. humans on mars so far it's still science fiction the red planet isn't just extremely far away it also lacks most of the basic elements that we need to survive including oxygen that means oxygen would have to be produced on mars and the u.s. space agency nasa has just succeeded in doing that instrument aboard the mars rover perseverance was able to convert a sample of mars as carbon dioxide rich atmosphere into oxygen the instrument is called moxy the process the moxie is going to use is called solid oxide electrolysis electrolysis just means splitting apart using elec tricity carbon

dioxide makes up 95 percent of mars as a sphere so it's a great natural resource. moxie shown here being installed in the rover is not much bigger than a car battery the device extracted 5 grams of oxygen during its 1st mission that's enough for an astronaut to breathe for 10 minutes but not only humans require oxygen. the main thing you need oxygen for is for the rocking that's going to take them back up from the surface to come back to earth for the rocket to breathe because rockets rocket fuel needs oxygen to burn as well and it needs a lot of moxie successors will have to produce exponentially more oxygen if life on the red planet and a safe return to earth is ever to become feasible and back here on earth european of football's governing body you a father says munich will remain one of the host cities for the european

a return to democracy in myanmar u.n. secretary general antonio good turner says arcee on has a crucial role to play to end the crisis a crisis which plays out on the streets of the country every day. they still have to leave in the en mass democracy. crushing the 3 finger salute a symbol of resistance citizens have been protesting since to february 1st coup. but the demonstrations have often been met with lethal force. it's a crisis step looms over the region and the united nations hopes this weekend's meeting could help bring a resolution. as a result is mark crucial than ever as the region faces an urgent crisis in myanmar i urge and act as the leverage that influence the region further deterioration and

ultimately find that peaceful way out of this catastrophe but so far the response from the regional actors has been divided indonesia has taken on an active row it says it has been pursuing a solution through dialogue and is hosting the meeting. jakarta also sent its foreign minister to thailand for the 1st international face to face with the junta government after the coup. yes if he and well even if i conveyed that the safety and well being of the people of myanmar is to number one priority. we asked all parties to exercise restraint and not use violence to avoid casualties and bloodshed. malaysia singapore and the philippines have also voiced similar concerns others

such as cambodia a more reserved leader home sen has refused to comment on the situation in myanmar saying it's an internal affair. and then there is thailand despite feeling what it called gravely troubled by the casualties of the crisis the country has been criticized for turning refugees away. we have spoken to those who enter thailand and ask them if they had any problems in their area if they say they had no problem we just asked them to return we ask we did not use any force. similar criticism has also hit india a nonmember of ours ian but a close neighbor of myanmar. it field is north eastern border after a steady stream of people try to flee into to state of missouri. according to you and at least 250000 people have already been displaced by the junta's crackdown

this year. evonne luxman ies a political scientist and senior researcher of the center for strategic and international studies in jakarta and joins me from there welcome mr luxmore indonesia has been pushing for this special leaders' meeting for some time now and now that it's happening what can we expect from it well the best case scenario would be for the leaders to agree on a commitment to do one to do 2 things one is to ensure that there is an us and let mechanism to address the crisis in men mara number 2 that mechanism should include a framework to end the violence currently to deliver humanitarian aid and to potentially facilitate a myanmar lead and the myanmar on dialogue process among all the stakeholders. human rights groups overturned by talking to cool you know general mean on hearing

is illegitimacy in his government to these people have a point i think what is happening right now is a recognition of reality not legitimacy legitimacy is something the people of myanmar has to decide from themselves what asin is doing right now is recognizing that currently the main goal of the summit is to end the violence and the one that's doing the violence is the military so therefore we call the military to the summit to get them to stop the violence you also said earlier that it's important that all stakeholders in myanmar sit down and talk speaking of those stakeholders are talking about the ouster of democratic government would it not have been better to invite them as well to this r.c.n. leaders meeting. again the goal of the summit as it stands right now is to end the violence 1st and foremost the goal of the summit is not to negotiate a settlement just yet because for such dialogue to be taking place we have to 1st

and the violence and deliver humanitarian aid which was necessary to create the space that would allow such a dialogue to take place so it should be very in mind that the summit or the meeting tomorrow is not a venue to negotiate settlement just yet it is about ending the violence that can lead to debt settlement down the line how united os young member nations in their approach to myanmar mean the leaders of thailand in the philippines on attending and thailand is also a major treat bata for me in modern you also have our border and vietnam which are essentially one party states so i'm wondering how united is this grouping it is certainly not all united i thing a different members have different urgency to the crisis they certainly have different interests and stake with the crisis right now so it is certainly not unified as it stands right now which is why i think the process of convening this

meeting took several months since the coup it hasn't been easy but i think we are at the precipice of a potential breakthrough if all the negotiations leading up to some it goes well you belong to a think does liers a lot with the indonesian government and indonesia has been one of the promoters if i can call it off there is also a meeting trying to get everybody together especially the indonesia malaysia singapore grouping what exactly is indonesia's game plan. well our hope is is obviously that any kind of solution to the myanmar crisis should take place within an os and framework because i think this allows some acceptability played a part is in man mark and that we can hopefully solve this without external parties but of course the ideal goal of getting there would require that the violence to be

ended and we can deliver aid to that effect and we've done this before so this is not our 1st stance which is why we always try to make sure that our 1st option is to try to solve this within the afghan family framework one last question so no throughout its history also member states of germany tended to focus on economic cooperation more than political issues is this a pivotal moment for the rule that also ends up playing here i think it is certainly the case that the meeting itself is not scheduled that this is not a normal os and calendar year the fact that engine president has to call for a special meeting shows you the gravity of the situation so it is certainly on the one hand not our 1st stance in terms of dealing with problems for myanmar but also to gravity of the situation makes it unprecedented so which is why i think we should have to see what happens tomorrow. everyone looks been a pleasure talking to you thank you so much for this and given having me.

global health. skeptics around the world have taken to the streets to protest against code 19 jabs. half the french are hesitant about getting the shot. in germany it's a quarter of the population. that experts agree will only beat the virus with vaccines. well despite all the skepticism the bigger problem has been getting enough doses but not in serbia it has such a vast surplus that they had been inoculating nonresidents still the abundance of vaccine doesn't help when many people just don't want it they don't use funny reports. yes it is the next person in line stern about 4000 doses are being administered here today at the biggest coffee vaccination center in the country has procured some 15000000 vaccines for

a population of 7000000 serbia has more vaccines on offer than serbians to want them in fact there's a surplus of russia and all chinese and. other vaccines so the country have been inviting foreigners to take the jabs the emphasis is on had on the 9th of april the government decided to suspend the vaccination for a nurse on to food a notice about 30000 had received a vaccine so far a lot of foreigners came back to now it's impossible because of the permission of the government so they need to be a resident here or get married here or something like that. for for now the announcement came after infection rates began rising again the government had apparently realised he needed to convince more of its own citizens to get a jap 1st at least one in 3 people in serbia believes to some extent in conspiracy

theories that claim they are unsafe. there's a new governor and he will see everyone who got the vaccine will soon die seen. i think of that scene is not safe enough and that's why i don't want to get into today and that skepticism is also apparent on the great streets restaurants are full open and almost no one is you wearing a mask epidemiologist so don't buy the vinyl each says the government focused too much on positive news about procuring vaccines why not doing enough to actually stand the spread of the virus because of a popular dish the government and our leader was. all for demonstrating that is here's more able than anyone on arrows any idea really there to provide what is needed and he ignores the fact that it's 1st in our society to educate people

so far about 1200000 people have been fully vaccinated in subiaco according to official numbers a high percentage by comparison with other countries in europe but far from enough to be a spent in an effort to increase immunization and c.v.s. the government has no storage focusing on its own citizens instead of foreigners if you could understand serbian you would be able to read the message on the side of this local box it says get the facts and. let's talk about vaccines skepticism with rene niger a college of physicians of philadelphia the fact we have a vaccine is a blessing why then all the nonbelievers. why the number leavers it's a really good question i guess it's part of human nature to question things around us to see risk in other people and assume that it's the same risk for us and so you

know you're going to have a spectrum of people who absolutely believe in the science absolutely even vaccines and then you're going to have a on the other end people who will not get a vaccine no matter what you tell them or are you explain to them because they have to proceed risk of it no matter what they see i mean it's great to question things i'm a journalist i have to do it every day but that same skepticism is as old as the vaccine itself has there been a was there some sort of specific historical incident that a justify the skepticism not not one specific there's been a series several ones throughout history right because you know vaccine science has . has been advancing for the last 200 years and now along the way there have been incidents that may or may not justify some of their feelings the most the most recent one was i mean explain phenomena with the h one n one vaccine in which people had mark willacy and we know that that happens to people who are predisposed to narcolepsy who are exposed to a viral disease and so whether or not they would have done it for the vaccine or

who are actually getting flu you know that that could happen in in the 1950 s. there was a fire incident here in the u.s. with the polio vaccine worry every filter properly killed all you iris and coughing about 200 cases of paralysis from polio on what should have been an otherwise safe vaccine so yes along the way there's been incidents that have been amplified if you will by the end. something that happens very very often when in fact it's actually very rare explain to our viewers how anti semitic conspiracy theories also play a role in the anti vacs movement. yeah so you know it's not just andy's a medic but anti minority anti anybody who was marginalized through fluted and so you know throughout history jewish people have been persecuted and they have been the minority ethnic minority religious minority and so when it comes time to find somebody who is guilty for whatever else is a society in this case with with vaccine reactions then the turn to to those those

conspiracy theories in more modern times who have been spirited eries of jewish people controlling bio bio security or controlling pharmaceutical companies and then a way to just make money red that's one of the tropes of the semitism and not going nuts hearing if you will about children getting hurt from the vaccine so it's a combination of historical factors of persecution of these kinds of groups combined with conspiracy theories and now in modern day so media where one small lie can spread very very big can you also explain why in some countries it's the ethnic minorities that are especially skeptical about vaccines. yeah because you know you have the colonizers right the western european powers even when spain spain in that case alone america england in the case of north america who have colonized. ethnic minority groups in foreign countries and in doing

so have used used of use in the united states we have the original sin of slavery and so you have a history of hundreds and hundreds of years of the authorities the government the dominant political force are dominant people abusing the minorities and so they see anything that comes their way as a mandate as something that they they must do for whatever reason they see it as yet another imposition on them by this cool colonial power or this abusive insulating power and so they get skeptical and in many cases there are some small instances in that justify it so for example in the united states puerto rico they had a they have an island there be a beautiful island that was bombarded by the u.s. navy for years and a lot of the people in puerto rico are skeptical of the u.s. government because of that and other abuses that took place on their own island and

so now when they are being told by the same government that to them to get a vaccine they're highly skeptical so rene give me the hard sell as a scientist how would you convince and have access. we found through science through research through surveys and through focus groups that the best way to get at somebody is by having one of their peers not somebody who's superior to them not somebody who is inferior not somebody who is smarter or more educated rich or whatever so many who is there appear at their level explain to them the benefits of x. and nation explain to them the side effects if any of getting a vaccine and we've seen it with the coven and indexing where we had a lot of skeptical people at 1st who are now turning turning around and wanting to actually never seen their peers their neighbors or friends getting the vaccine having a little bit of a side effect afterwards you know a little bit like illness for a day or so and getting much better and then also seeing that the that the people who are vaccinated are not becoming sick and they're not becoming part of outbreaks when the see that their peers especially they change their minds and so that is one

of the signs and evidence proving ways to get somebody who is skeptical about vaccination i don't mind at all if a white means i get in line quicker right here a college of physicians of philadelphia thanks for being on the show today thank you for having. and for the last time this week here's our science correspondent derrick williams with another viewer question about x.c. . i was vaccinated a few days ago my own didn't touch and i didn't have any side effects is that normal. i've talked a lot here about vaccine side effects so it's great to hear from someone who had none because that's actually really common i haven't been back summated yet but among friends and family who have i'd say roughly half told me they didn't notice a thing afterwards although the statistics will vary from from vaccine to vaccine

it looks like for most of them at least a 3rd of all recipients don't report even the mildest of side effects like like injection site pain or or a little bit of swelling there's no way to predict in advance exactly how you'll react but but experts say 2 factors clearly increase the likelihood that you'll feel some kind of discomfort after getting the shot the 1st is your sex recent c.d.c. data shows that around 4 out of 5 reports of vaccine side effects have come from women with which doesn't come as a surprise really since that's also been observed in the past with many other types of vaccinating a number of biological and and possibly even social reasons seem to contribute to that phenomenon the 2nd factor that plays

a role is your age younger people are a lot more likely to report side effects than those over 55 which is another result backed up by experience with past that it seems the theory they are is that . because the amusing response in general declines with age so in a nutshell having few or no side effects after being vaccinated that isn't particularly rare and apparently even less so if you're like me a man who's no longer a spring chicken. or mine i could get my next week thanks for watching i say.
